didn't plan for a second finisher." Britten returned to Ninja Warrior in season eight, again advancing to the National Finals. Within a matter of seconds, Britten slipped and fell on the first obstacle of Stage 1, Snake Run, ending his season. After the episode aired, Britten announced on his social media accounts that he would not return to Ninja Warrior for season nine in order to spend more time with his family, stating, "I think it's interesting that Isaac, after last year, beat it all, [and] didn't come back. He's another climber. I'm a climber and I kind of felt the same way. Like 'Eh, it's kind of weird to be back to this. I already did it.' You know?" He did, however, leave the door open for a future return: "I'm hoping I can come back when I'm 40. I set a goal for myself. Go away for awhile and come back and hopefully have that fire again. Have a new challenge." On May 2, 2018, Britten announced plans to return to Ninja Warrior competition in 2019 for season eleven. He competed in the Seattle/Tacoma City Qualifiers but failed on the Broken Bridge obstacle and was ultimately unable to advance to the City Finals. Personal life Britten works as a cameraman for sports teams in the Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. areas, such as the Baltimore Orioles, Washington Capitals, and Washington Wizards.
