I thought I might have missed the start of this season. <s>W00t!</s> Big balls! :)

I need to TiVo this. Love it but always forget to TiVo/watch it.

I cannot escape from this show, it's just too intoxicating. Amazingly, it just never gets old. And many of those stunts look positively murderous.

I love this show. I discovered it last season just randomly flipping channels and have been hooked since. I often see some of these peoples wipeouts and wonder just how they can even move after. I swear my body aches after watching this show. :lol:

The crazy contestants are awesome. I don't know why but watching people wipe out on the same obstacles never stops being hilarious.

Funniest show on tv. Could use a bit more Jill Wagner and less the 2 dudes.

At this point I think I enjoy the 'middle challenges' the most. It's more entertaining for me when they are competing at the same time versus taking turns.

Loved it, I do with some of the first event's obstacles were a little more passable, especially the boxing gloves and moving walls.

It's odd because I like watching the first and second rounds but have zero interest in the final round. I suppose there are fewer hi-jinks there so less interest on my part.

That is kind of odd. The first rounds are filled with puns and gags from the hosts, but the final round is treated seriously.

Everything on this planet could use more Jill Wagner. :drool:

It's too bad that Ford is killing Mercury because we no longer get anymore commercials of her.

Looking forward to tonight's episode too. Crazy people getting knocked off crazy obstacles never gets old.

OK, so I just started watching this and that "pick a door" thing is just so damn wrong it's funny as hell. :lol:

Agreed. I saw a recent interview with her where she said that there's at least one episode this season where she and John Henson switch places, so he interviews the contestants and she gets all the funny comments! I can't wait (JW is my secret girlfriend)!

That was great. Also loved all the shots of Jill dancing.

Not a fan of the new paint squirters they've been adding everywhere, though.

Yeah, I also don't like the moving big balls. But whatever.

Is it the same course each time or are there several different ones? Only watched one show.

i've watched the show casually before, but i decided it would be a fun and mindless summer show to watch. while watching this morning, my 11 month old son was fascinated by the whole thing. he watched more tv in one sitting than he ever has. :lol:

DT - As a parent.....sorry to say this is not a good thing.

But we also can't stop watching.

Ha! I watch this show with my 5 year old son. He loves it because it's like a real-life Mario game.

Just got caught up with the 2 episodes that aired last week. Very fun, however after laughing my ass off for 75% of the show, it still loses steam once it reaches the Wipeout zone. IMO, that is probably the most boring part of the show.

I liked the 3 doors and the spinning wheel. Wasn't crazy about the Bruise Ball round or the game where Henson and the other people were throwing shit at them with the thing spinning around.

Still a very entertaining Summer filler show.

I think the Fling Set from Tuesday's episode has been my favorite obstacle so far this season. It certainly provided the most spectacular wipeouts.
