"These athletes push each other to be more aggressive, to be more athletic, to take bigger risks," Iseman told NBC Insider. "This season is really looking at the future of Ninja but also celebrating the past... We saw some upsets that you never would've predicted in a million years. And then we saw redemptions that just made your heart swell. So the season was filled with so many highlights and so many incredible moments."
