The review about Fred Dorrington's water disqualification at Big Dipper.
Also during the grand final, Fred actually almost didn't advance to Stage Two. In Stage One, while he was on the Jump Hang, he got disqualified after his foot touched the water on the Big Dipper. However, during the review, it was revealed that his foot didn't touch the water (the ripple on the water was from the pushed safety mat). Therefore, he was allowed to continue his run, at the exactly point and exactly time he was in Jump Hang before being stopped (this is very different with other SASUKE/Ninja Warrior format, where competitors have to rerun the whole stage after protesting successfully and with or without time limit.)
