Wipeout

I started watching a new TV shows here in Australia. It is called Wipeout Australia and I guess there is a US version, titled Wipeout. The show reminds me of this silly TV program that I used to watch in Europe long time ago, called "Games Without Frontiers", where teams from different countries would compete on a water course. The show was hillarious.

The show Wipeout is similar but simpler, and FUNNIER!!! You end up watching interesting characters compete on the course with lots of obstacles, water and mud. The title of the show is Wipeout, because you see a lot of wipeouts. If you are the type of person that breaks out laughing when you see someone slip and fall on America's Funnies Videos, then you will love this show!

Competitors have to jump over big bouncy balls (99% of them fail and fall spectacularly into the water - a MUST see!), stand on top of a 12 foot platform above water and try to avoid a rubber baton going at them, and many other make-you-fall-in-the-water obstacles and challenges.

I am using YouTube to catch up on the old episodes of the show plus to see episodes from the US show. Me being a nice guy, I figured I should save you all a lot of typing and post the links to the appropriate material on YouTube:
Wipeout USA - lots of episodes
Wipeout Australia - Ep 1
Wipeout Australia - Ep 2
