in season seven, britten again advanced to the national finals and achieved "total victory", completing stage 4 and leading "ninja warrior" commentator akbar gbaja-biamila to immediately declare "geoff britten is the first american ninja warrior." after britten's run, isaac caldiero finished the course over three seconds faster, winning the show's top prize of $1,000,000. this created some controversy over who was truly the first "american ninja warrior." while britten admitted that caldiero had defeated him and deserved the victory, he still believed he deserved some credit for his accomplishments: "there’s been a lot of people confused about the verbiage – 'first american ninja warrior' or 'first winner.' the way i feel about it is i did it first. [caldiero] went out there and crushed it. i’m not trying to take anything away from him, but it does not take away from what i did. he’s like the grand champion." fellow competitor joe moravsky opined, "in my opinion, geoff is technically the first american ninja warrior and isaac is the second. the only difference is isaac climbed it faster so he gets the million and won the season." series producer kent weed stated in an interview with "the hollywood reporter" that while caldiero had in fact won the season, britten "does get the great gratification. i don't think he harbors any ill will about it...geoff said to me, 'if i was going to be beat by someone, i'm glad it's isaac.' and i think isaac would have felt the same way if the roles were reversed." in an interview with "entertainment weekly", weed was asked if britten got anything for coming in second: "he got to be one of the first american ninja warriors. according to the rules there’s only one winner. we talked to nbc about it, we might make adjustments next season, but we didn’t plan for a second finisher."
