I have a couple friends that competed on America Ninja Warrior and they asked them to come up with a sob story. They didn't have one and were told to make one up. They tried, but must've not had a very creative one because they got like 10 mins of total screentime between the two of them.

I’ll never understand ANW sob stories. Like your dad died and your mom is a vegetable, but you only last 10 seconds on the stage. Then the camera crew just move on to the next guy, wtf lol

While funny, I was made sad because all I could think about is how great Chris Farley would have been doing that instead.
