It wasn't new, but I laughed a few times. I was going to delete it without watching it as well, but I am glad that I didn't.

Yeah, I was a sucker and watched it also. It wasn't too bad and it had some clips that we've never seen before.

Ugh, I hate recap shows, especially for reality and game shows.

I can't believe they had a recap show after only 6 episodes.

This show has gotten pretty boring for me now, but I did laugh hard last week at that talking wrecking ball. I was in stitches over that.

Been watching MXC a lot in the last few weeks. After watching that show, this show is almost unwatchable!

Official 2009 Wipeout Thread!

It was good to have this come back last night. It means the summer season is upon us.

I liked some of the new courses and obstacles and was surprised that

Rico Sauve
didn't win last night.

They seem to be ramping up the crazies. The 'meanest trash talker' didn't even say one bad thing!

I can't believe they brought the same announcers back. They're both horrible.

The hurdles are a great addition.

Re: Official 2009 Wipeout Thread!

It seems like they really improved all the events this go-around, except maybe the final one. I appreciate the new elements, but the 'pass it for a time penalty' takes away the fun... the tricky stuff is placed too early in the run. I loved the new opener with the hurdles and the '6 to 4' round was a lot of fun.

I still dig Jill. Loved the part when she was eating the ditzy Princess' Chocolate balls.

If you have a Twitter account, she Tweets all the time on there.

The Trash Talker was a fricking lame ass contestant. Could not believe how slow he was on the Wipeout Zone and then he quit.

I was so hoping that Cheap Date wouldn't win it. I loved seeing him struggle.

Was anyone really disturbed by the Pale Guy in the Speedos?

Never watched the show before last night, and gotta say I loved it. It was just ridiculous enough to keep my attention. I was rooting for Shiny Happy, but Cheap Date was pretty good too. Glad he won over Fernando.

Re: Official 2009 Wipeout Thread!

I need to find out how to get on this show. It was like a real-life Super Mario level with the addition of the hurdles.

If you walk the wall and get punched into the mud, you can just wade to the other side. So, why would I even bother wasting time with the wall and just jump into the mud pit as far as I could?

Those stunts look incredibly painful, I'm not surprised when people quit. Like when the sweeper took out a jumper at the knees.

At least in this episode, she wasn't looking as good as in previous episodes. Maybe it was a bad makeup day.

They should really get the guys that dubbed MXC to do host this. Or at least dub them over John and John.
