Wipeout on ABC

How is there not a thread for this show yet?

Okay, I guess the concept for the show isn't that great: 24 people getting dwindled down until there's 1 left after facing 4 rounds of obstacles which includes bouncing on big balls, getting punched in the face by some punching gloves that pop out of a wall, and jumping over a bar.

But I still think it's hilarious. And also, there's nothing else on at Tuesday @ 8 for me, so I might as well watch this.

My personal favorite contestant is Ariel Tweto from episode 3. Anyone else who watches the show remember this: "Where's the pole? Where's the pole?"

Like you, I too have been watching it when nothing else is on. It is totally inane, but I do get a kick out of it.

Loved the Wipi awards last night! The contestant wipe-outs are so funny I nearly wet myself!

My 6YO daughter LOVES this show. She always asks to watch it. Her fave is Ariel too. I'm surprised that she remembers her name.

I've been watching it and I think it's hilarious. I guess I just like to see those folks get messed up on the obstacle courses.

Heh yeah I find Wipeout way more entertaining than the current Big Brother 10.

Re: Wipeout on ABC

We love WIPEOUT! I wonder why so many people are willing to try when they don't have a snowballs chance in heck of getting over the BIG BALLS! We loved Ariel too, but our most favorite was the guy who did the splits on the BIG BALLS. I think he won the top wippy award. We still laughed at it and agreed that it never gets old watching it.

The guy who did the split on the big balls was one of the funniest wipeouts ever. Everytime they replayed it, I was crying from laughing so hard.

Re: Wipeout on ABC

Although I wouldn't postpone watching one of my favorite tv shows once the new season starts in favor of Wipeout, it does fill the void during the summer hiatus.

I've seen three people make it across the top of the big balls all season. It never fails to amaze me. Personally, I'd probably jump right into the water to wash off the mud gathered up to that point.

Good to know I'm not the only sadist on here.
