So, I typically tend to stay away from tv game shows. 1 vs. 100 i'm obsessed with, but the rest not so much. So, i was doubtful when ABC started running promos for Wipeout. wow, hilarious. I think it's people falling and flailing around that appeals to the part in all of us that loves to watch America's Funniest Home Videos.
Anyway, we tivo'd it and watched last night. Jeffrey and I seriously had to stop eating dinner because we were laughing so hard that we were running the risk of choking. seriously. I think we scared Connor.
The two guys who host are more like sports commentators (which makes sense as one is from ESPN) and their comments are just so dry and perfect. The show puts 24 contestants through these obstacle course type hazards where the goal is to avoid wiping out in the mud. One of the guys, they called jazz hands due to his feminine ways. sometime throughout the show, they stopped calling him by his name at all and he was simply Jazz Hands. awesome. Another lady was this large and in charge black woman. she was winded after 2 minutes. at the end they are supposed to grab a rope and swing from one platform to another. she just didn't have it in her and just kinda laid down instead. she sort of slid down the platform making this noise like when you get stuck on a slide. tough to explain.
anyway, i'm not going to be able to do this show justice, so here's a clip and please, please watch it so we can laugh about it next week together. or, you can come to my house and watch this week's episode-we decided to leave it in the tivo so we can watch it over and over and over!!
There are more promos here and here and here. And you can watch the full episode Here.
