Seriously, I've watched tons of games like this. From "Most Extreme Elimination Challenge" to "Ninja Warrior," I've seen them all. I thought this show would be just another ripoff but the courses are hilarious.
The Big Balls have yet to meet a challenger who can clear it.
The Sweeper is probably my favourite. It creates the best "wipeouts" of the episode. This show is soooooo my newest addiction.

Yes, this show is very enjoyable. One guy almost dominated the Big Balls today!  |

Did you see the Sweeper take out 3 people in a row? The first guy got hit and slowed it down, basically screwing over the 2 people behind him.  |

LOL, yes. I have a feeling I'd really suck at that. Not a good jumper.
Also, I do think that round is a bit unfair. If there's one spot left, and it gets to me before you, and we both fall, it's not fair that you make it in and I don't just because I was placed before you. |

Maybe they place the people in order of how well they did in the first course? |

That's what I thought, but in the first episode, I know a chick was first and I didn't think she had the best time. *is sexist* |

I love this show as does my 5 year old daughter. She just sits there and laughs and laughs and laughs. Good family fun.
I get a kick out of those who get knocked off the sweeper only because they're watching someone else fall. Best wipeouts ever. |

I watched this for the first time last night. It seems to follow the similar Japanese series, except the Wipeout obstacles seem tougher, yet the Japanese versions take more strength....climbing ropes and balancing horizontally between two walls. |

I just downloaded the first two episodes; will watch them tonight. From the previews, it looked great, but the commentary had me doubtful; like they were trying too hard. But again, that was just from snippets. |

I care little for Henson, but Anderson is alright with me, as I watch SportsCenter. And of course Jill is fine to look at. |

Alright; some of the wipeouts are epic, and the dialogue made me laught a few times, so the show's being added to the Tivo To Do List. Congrats on making this prestigeous cut, Wipeout. |

I always miss Wipeout. It's always almost over when I remember, so I haven't seen it fully yet. Someday maybe. |
