It's always a crack up, too, when they trip or miss the first platform. Sorry, but I'd be laughing if ya did, too! :-)

Very close finish tonight :-)

One question: Is it actually possible to make it all the way through the qualifying rounds? Seems to me they mostly fall off and then are on to the next obstacle

I don't recall seeing anyone make it all the way thru the qualifying rounds without having a wipeout. Very few have made it across the big balls. And this season, the first obstacle (like the rolling pins with spiky things this week) seems to be one of the ones that everyone wipes out on.

OK, show of hands here....how many of us (yes, I'm fessing up for myself and on behalf of my Mom) sit in our chairs and squirm/twist/twitch our bodies in a effort to "help" these people over some of the obstacles?

Not me, Who! I laugh my silly ass off! I'm laughing to hard to "help" anyone!

The only time I ever "helped" anyone along was when they had an all girl finale, and I really wanted them to get to that point.

Was the policeman last week the only one to make it across all four of the Big Balls? My husband had just asked me if anyone ever made it past the first two when that guy hopped along all four.

Those are, IMHO, the best part of the whole "game."

Nope, there have been others who've made it across. A smallish female was the first, who basically frog hopped from one big ball to the next. A couple of others have made it across. Some looking like they lucked out more than planned it.

No one commented on last night's couples show? I'm watching it now and am laughing my silly butt off. The nicknames the Johns give these people... The Muscle couple. Mr and Mrs Moose. The Tortoise and the hare. Seriously, this could not be funnier!

I was flipping between this an SYTYCD last night. One of the ladies had a terrific fall on the big balls. (love the names too) For me, it's not so much the competition, but more the listening to the conversation explaining what is going on.

There were some really good wipeouts during the final elim, before the wipeout zone. I just realized I hadn't finished watching to see who won!

The commentary? It's priceless.

I loved the Moose drawings and sounds!! This was one of the best shows for commentary this year and Mr. Moose was so good at all the challenges.

Mr Moose's physical characteristics (which he proudly showed off at the beginning) scared the crap out of me. That's not normal. And all I could think of was "SHE goes to bed with THAT?" :-)

The tortoise and the hare would good, too. Don't forget to draw the "hair".

My DD and granddaughters and I just laughed our heads off. Mr. Moose getting his tail drawn on drew the biggest guffaws. Love the commentaries.

Hi - My wife and I love this show too. Mostly I watch it to see Jill !

Seriously, though, does anyone know where they film Wipeout ? It looks like California and I sometimes notice a barn in the background.

Hi, Cowboy! You would be right. It's filmed in Santa Clarita on a ranch.

Stupid DVR. My Cox guide said it was showing at 9pm (which is odd, but that was when it was set to record as I have it to always record new shows). And nope, it was on at 8pm as usual and I didn't get it recorded. Stupid Cox. Grr...

It's not your DVR, Costa. DISH did the same thing! (DS is going to be upset!!!) We got all ready to watch last night and I noticed it wasn't recording. When I looked at the menu, it showed Wipeout was going to come on at 9:00 last night. So I sent DS on to bed (much to his disappointment) and told him we could watch it today. AFter reading your post, I checked my DVR and only got the last couple of minutes of WO and that stupid Japanese game show that comes on after. Never even occured to me that the program guide could be wrong. Must've come from ABC and they changed at the last minute. Arghhhh!!!!

We never watch anything live so we can FF thru the commercials.
