Wipeout

Have you seen the crazy new show on ABC, titled Wipeout? If not, you need to! Since the show debuted in late June, Eric and I spend every Tuesday night sitting on the couch laughing our butts off for the entire hour it's on TV. The concept is basically this: Twenty-four contestants must compete for the best time on a zany and often messy obstacle course. The twelve contestants with the best time get to move on to the next round, which is basically more of the same -- only different obstacles. They continue to eliminate contestants based upon skill and timing. The show consists of many wacky obstacles...the sweeper, the big balls, the dizzy dummy, the dreadmill, the sucker punch and more. I'd like to explain what each obstacle is, but I don't think I could do them justice. So instead I'll direct you to ABC's website that talks about Wipeout and all its glory...

Here you have the option of learning more about the show, seeing recaps, watching stunt sketches and actually watching past episodes online. If you're bored or having a bad day, I highly recommend checking this out on the web or on Tuesday night TV. I can't imagine anyone not being thoroughly entertained by this silly show!

If you decide to watch this or have already watched it, what's your favorite obstacle? Mine is definitely the 'big balls', as only a couple people can make it past them. It's quite hilarious watching people bounce off of them or just get slammed off the side into the water. This is what I call ENTERTAINMENT, people!
