Wipeout is possibly one of the most hilarious and underrated shows currently on TV.
Wipeout is an American game show series in which contestants compete in what is billed as the “world’s largest obstacle course”.
It’s called Wipeout because when a contestant falls off one of the obstacles they usually land in mostly water or wet mud.
It’s hilarious because it takes crazy people and makes them look like a fool while they try to win money.
Wipeout is hosted and commentated by John Henson and John Anderson while Jill Wagner acts as the “on-location” presenter.
Anderson is the smart witted broadcaster, Henson brings the humor, but in a childish manor, and Wagner brings the sexiness and just everything you look for in a sideline reporter.
My two favorite obstacles on the show are the “Sucker Punch” and “Big Balls” because they show people getting beat up and thrown in the water in nearly impossible obstacles that are always on show every week.
On March 18, 2010, Activision announced the show would be made into a video game titled Wipeout: The Game, set to be released along with the show’s third season.
Please watch Wipeout on ABC on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8 pm.
