^ I’ll miss Jill most of all. She’s moved on up to cheesy Lifetime/Hallmark Christmas movies. No more slumming it with Wipeout.

Re: Wipeout----Series Discussion Thread

I just saw the new hosts for the first time. They...aren’t good.

John Cena tries but he has absolutely no help from Nicole Byer and Camille Kostek (yeah, I had to look them up). Camille is cute but ultimately worthless and Nicole might as well not even be there. The poor guy is working with two complete duds. It sounds like it’s the same writers but it doesn’t really work because it’s John Henson style humor coming out of John Cena.

The Wipeout stuff is still the same but it’s not nearly as good when it’s overlaid with unfunny voiceover commentary.

I have the first two episodes on my DVR, but I haven't watched them yet. One of the best parts of the original series was Jill cracking up when people would fall.

It's pretty awful. They're strictly reading it. Rob Riggle and Joe Tessitore are the new standard.

Riggle and Tessitore are legends.

Byer is great on Nailed It! but doesn't quite work here.

Nobody can replace the Wagner.

Yeah I agree. Byer is easy to take but only in small doses.
She is good on Nailed It but I don’t want too much of that character.

Kostek is ok. They aren’t giving her much to do.
is she married to Gronkowski?

Shows you how much hosts can make or break a game show.

Waiting for the return of Holey Moley.

I just watched an episode of this and it's like 10 times harder than it used to be. Or maybe that's just a "special" because the participants all look like athletes.
