How can they even allow some of these folks do this competition. Clearly many are not fit - I'm so waiting for the first lawsuit.

On the other hand, I was rooting for the "Murse" the moment they introduced him. I worked with many great Murses in Iraq so I knew what it meant as soon as they said it.

I'm sure these folks sign all kinds of waivers before they can be on the show, but I still wonder if anyone was seriously hurt if the producers could be held liable. What people won't do to be on TV!

A man died last week after having a stroke while doing one of the stunts.

I truly feel bad for his friends and family. But if he really did have a pre-existing condition and didn't admit he did, who's really responsible?

On the plus side, I'm glad to learn that contestants do have physical exams.

I feel bad for him too but it probably would have happened anyway. It sounds like he was leading a pretty active lifestyle.

I look forward to this coming back. I just can't help laughing, especially at some of the out-of-shape contestants. You just can't help wondering why on earth they would go on the show.

Sometimes the announcers are hilarious, too.

Yay!!! Thanks for the heads up!

DH watches a lot of ESPN. I saw John Anderson (one of the hosts) on one of the ESPN shows. I told DH, "Hey, that guy's on Wipeout!" I'm sure his ESPN job keeps him going during the off season.

That'll be fun to watch, Peapod!

There's a UK version of the show now, with British players but filmed in Argentina! I can't think why they travel all the way there unless it's because they couldn't insure them in the UK. The course is identical. My dad is a man of few words, and for the first time in many years I heard him laugh out loud - I rushed into the room to find him watching the Big Balls part!

the big balls will now spin and move up and down

no motivator

new obstacle called the spinning pitchforks

the big buzz though is about something called the "door knock"

This show is just so wrong! But I sit here and giggle and guffaw through every minute of it!

I think Wipeout needs to keep the show at one hour. 2 hours was stretching it.

It was a special episode last night. The actual season doesn't start for another three weeks. I thought the blind date angle was hilarious, although I've only just finished watching the baseball themed $2500 bonus round.

I loved it last night. Sometimes they get boring but they had some funny pairs last night to make it more entertaining. And that woman who was throwing herself around doing somersaults!! Such a shame her partner couldn't get through so she didn't make the final rounds. Loved mermaid and flounder, and Aussie and American.

Loved the blind date angle... I just finished watching and cracked up all the way thru. The mermaid and the flounder... too funny! Not surprised the power couple won, but was rooting for the mermaid. They did really well, though.

Definitely a lot of wipeouts!! And while there is no way ever you'd catch ME on that show, I have to admit it's a guilty pleasure to watch a bunch of OTHER people wiping out.

Is this "sneak peek" episode on line? Couldn't get this, Hells Kitchen/Glee & America's Got Talent at the same time, so this one was third on the list.

Watched it with my 3-1/2 yr old grandson. We laughed like loons, and he called them knuckleheads and twerps!

I kinda dare anyone to watch this show and NOT laugh like loons. I often scare the bejeebies outta the four-legged kids when I laugh watching this!
