    What are you critics talking about? This is one of the best shows ever made.

    This show is alright in it's own right, but this show pales in comparison MXC on spike which use to air and was the same obstacle course business. The obstacles are good in this, and the competition is pretty cool, I'll actually watch it the odd time but the reason it gets a 5 is because of that god awful announcer; he's BRUTALLY unfunny.… Full Review »

    Most of the viewers who watch ABC, probably know about "Wipeout", and with a huge difference of 34 on Metacritic and 74 on the user reviews, Wipeout seems to split viewers depending on how you look at this show. You can either laugh at this people fall down on near impossible obstacles, or just feel embarrassed for people who participate in this show. For me I'm with the user's on this one, the first season of Wipeout has problems with making you like the people participating, plus there are some cringe worthy moments, but if you love Japanese inspired game shows, crazy contestants, and funny liners, you may enjoy Wipeout for what it is. Pretty much put that Wipeout is about 24 contestants all competing for $50,000 dollars, one catch, the world's most insane obstacle course since MXC. Every week the production crew changes things up to keep things interesting, examples include tennis balls on the dread-mill, crows on the sweeper bar, and a ball swing at the end of the first course. The contestants are a mix of memorable and just plain normal, but the real fun comes when they wipeout, which is where it succeeds at. Even if some of the wipeouts become a little boring, something laugh out loud could happen that 'll make you keep watching. Not all the contestants are interesting (some try a little too hard to be memorable),and some of the lines are cringe worthy and sometimes embarrassing to listen too, but if look at that title and think about it, this is the kind of show that is not meant to be taken so seriously and when someone falls, it's better to just laugh.… Full Review »
