I was flipping through the channels, when I found this favorite back on TV after a while- Wipeout, a hilarious water-based game show. I was ecstatic! And it made me think- is there any other fans on here? And if there are, what are your favorite wipeouts?

I love that show, I always watch it when it's on, thank god I'm not the only one seeing people make total fools of themselves and fall onto big balls. , that show really makes me laugh.

I love this show, but I don't understand why viewer discretion is advised

I've only seen a few of the episodes, and I think I caught all of last season.

It's a great show, I would love to try, as I know we all think it looks alot easier than it is.

The course where they have to jump across 4 huge balls...

... just wow. I would like to try my luck at that.

Oh yes, I LOVE that show! I thought it was discontinued after the first season, though...

Because of a lot of innuendo goes into the show.

I'm a fan. I rather enjoy out-of-shape people plopping into mud for 10000 dollars.

I love that show.

I've seen both the US and UK versions and personally I prefer the UK version.

The appeal of seeing over-confident people fallling of things is too much.

Back in 2008, I saw a preview and thought, it might be good. It then turned out to be summer smash hit (in my house).

Can't wait for the next season this summer!

My families (OK, me and the kids - my wife isn't impressed) summer TV show. We love the big balls and some of the acrobatics that result. My favorite section is the classic sweeper. Oooh, that would be cool to build with power functions...

I can't imagine the spinal injurious people get from that and other obstacles thoguh.

Did any one see yesterday's (June 3) episode? Personally, I love the new 'baseball' game. And the circus one was good too .

I only see the last 5 minutes or so when i'm waiting for Doctor Who to start. It's a bit too 'HURR HE FELL IN THE WATER' for me, I prefer Takeshi's castle.

I love it. It's hillarious when the dumb blondes ( pardon the stereotype ) get catapulted into the mud by the sucker punch.

Though this was as good a time as any. The season officialy aired Tuesady. Yes, it's been a few days since then, but still. It;s on right now where I am.

Yeah I've seen a few episodes of this one, it's quite funny at the start but kinda gets boring upon 'prolonged exposure'. I remember the treadmill-with-rolling-tennis-balls challenge, I like that one.

I love that show.

Yeah its funny how in the UK its just like "Wipeout". And in the USA they called it "TOTAL WIPEOUT USA! YEAH! USA!! TOTALLY AWESOME BETTER THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY! USA!"...

And Joey, have you ever actually seen the US version? 'Cause if you did, you'd know that the title is just Wipeout.

Just wondering; why do you hate USA so much? Are you a terrorist?

Hate is such a strong word. Anyway the main differance isn't the actual obstacle course but more the editing of the footage. On all the episodes I've watched there hasn't been one bit of comedy soundtrack. Example:

US Version: Man is hit by succer-punch. Two presenters make a joke about him being dumped. Or something.

UK Version: Man is hit by succer-punch accompanied by comic sound stolen from looney tunes. Richard Hammond laughs at man.

I've not watched many of the US shows so my opinion may be biased. Oh and Joey that made me laugh.

Because of the past few weeks, I'm just angry!

BP Oil Spill, You blamed us.

England game, You said you won when I don't see how you could have.

You still everything and oversize it! Like Domino's pizza, It has ruined Italian pizza!

Also, I've been playing GTA: IV and listened WKTT Fm, You'll undertstand if you have the game.

British Petroleum?

I'll admit, that game we got lucky with Green's screw up. But US will take it any way they can get it. And I never said that we won... It's a happy tie, 'cause we tied with one of the best teams in the world.

For the record, Domino's Pizza absolutely SUCKS.

And IDK about the GTA radio thing, I don't play GTA.

Oh, one last thing. Please stop making Generalizations about the US citizens. We're all not idiots .

Uh-Oh. It seems this is becoming some sort of arguement! SHOCK!

Your wrong aswell, this is a happy tie:

Anyway to stop this from going off-topic what did you think of my points on the differances between UK & US versions?

Ouch... It appears that I have been burned. Well played

Yes, you're correct about the differences. At least the US actually cracks some jokes instead of ripping off sounds from my favorite cartoons...

What? Well our version has jokes as well... such as...*watches a few seconds from total wipeout*..Oh yeah they called someone a hobbit! Actually that was bad. Well the UK version doesn't really rely on jokes, I'm not sure about Wipeout but Total Wipeout instead uses characterization of the contestants such as hobbit or "The one and Only Emma" or "Woo-Hoo Wu" and honestly comic noises adds more than jokes could ever do *boing*.

Well actually the last episode I watched featured Siren Sally, Firedancer Fred, and Firefighter Bill. The hosts cracking jokes about those three the entire show.

Yeah its funny how in the UK its just like "Wipeout". And in the USA they called it "TOTAL WIPEOUT USA! YEAH! USA!! TOTALLY AWESOME BETTER THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY! USA!"...

I don't think it's that long...

Here in Canada it's just Wipeout, not Total Wipeout.

The Canada version does both . They seem to combine everything from US and UK. Lucky me .

Pfft. Only those three? Every contestant is charectorized in the UK version. Sometimes they include storys such as "The legend of the headband wearers named Dan" or the rivalry between "Sunbed Johnny and his Brother" or the re-appearances of some of the contestants.

Here in Canada it's just Wipeout, not Total Wipeout.

There is no Canada version. Yet. You're watching the US version. In which they don't have the comic noises of the UK.
