Wipeout
« on: July 26, 2008, 01:04:13 PM »
Anyone caught this show at all?

http://abc.go.com/player/?channel=114931&campaign=DIS05wipeOut&pn=index&cid=rm+summer+google+Wipeout

multiple episodes online.  I was hurting from laughing so hard.  It's basicly a modern American version of MXC, complete with horrible puns at that crappy contestants failures.

Yep I've seen it on TV. Kinda funny show with a lot of wipeouts. Some of the best ones they show several times. There is a related show, "I survived a japanese game show", that is playing. It's a real survivor knock off and not nearly as entertaining. I watched two episodes, that's plenty for me. I didn't care for the original survivor show either.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

MXC is far better IMO than Wipeout.  Wipeout has no substitute for Guy Le sweetheart.

I've seen it from the very first it came out! Just gotta love that show. I wait all week to see that, along with "Smoking Guns" on thursday's  :lol .

I think MXC is funnier though because...well its in japanese, you can make them say whatever you want!  :rofl

It's funny...but it gets a bit tiresome watching the commentators...it would be nice to just see the action like MXC but I guess you wouldn't have an hour show would you?  Thank god for DVR and skipping commercials.  Did anyone see this past week where the black guy with dreads did a full-split unintentionally after landing on the ball?  THat looked like it hurt lol

That final challenge looks gruesome and HARD though.
