![]() The best part of the show is the obstacles, and it doesn't deliver. Even the minimalist yellow stick figures running through the courses is better Obstacles: Yuck. Every wipeout has 3 different.camera angles real time, which takes the punch out of any slip or trip.every skit that involves editing also feels like a 6th grader with imovie was in charge. The intro's to the cast are a great time to stand up and get a drink of water/ bathroom break. They feel like the annoying people that are the first to get booted out of any other game show, but its of the entire cast. Its just a hodge podge of celeb status in front of a teleprompter. Where do i even start? I'm just going to break this down bit by bit Casting: the hosts are bland and they don't work well together. Do something or take this garbage off the air. And, while you are at it, stop showing the ones you've aired so far. I beg TBS to take a step back and re-cut this with new hosts or new writing before showing any more episodes. As I said, the course is fine and the format of the rounds works, too. The contestants are just as wacky as they've always been. It's almost like they need to skip those rounds and move on to the two semi-final heats and then the final. The editing of the early rounds is also choppy and disjointed. It's like they are watching a tape of the contestants and then trying to come up with a line that fits. Additionally, none of their reactions to the contestants seem genuine. The lines John and Nicole are given are not just unfunny, they are truly, as my subject line says, cringe-worthy. However, something is seriously wrong here. The course is fine and the structure of the rounds works well. However, this iteration of Wipeout may be the worst new television show of ANY kind I've seen in decades. I say all of this to illustrate that I was so looking forward to a new Wipeout. I also thought John Cena did a credible job on American Grit and Nicole Byer's work on Nailed It is first rate. I even liked Cannonball even though it was not up to that level. ![]() Floor is Lava is also quite entertaining. Watching Holey Moley and seeing Rob and Joe go back and forth is a pleasure. ![]()
