Hardest wipeout course? Last weeks was harder. That shit was simple as hell. I didn't really like any of the courses this week.

Are you fucking kidding me WJLA? I set the DVR to record Wipeout but nooooooooooooo, with no mention at all the Virginia Governor's Youtube debate is on
when I go to watch! WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK??
Usually they run a scroll that lets the viewer know when they can catch the pre-empted show. WJLA does not give a damn about their viewers apparently!!! So here I am recording Oprah and Extra late night in hopes I might catch the original airing of tonight's Wipeout. Fuckers. |

That must be a first. Deadbeat daughter finds out she won and then proceeds to announce that she's going to throw up. That cracks my shit right up.

Those obstacle courses were brutal! I think they could do a better job with the padding. |

I wanted Didi Wong from Hong Kong to win.

I think the opening course was just WAY too hard.. they're going for more wipeouts to view. Out of the 4 obstacles, you have 3 that probably no one will
make across.. The first obstacle is the only one that can be crossed. You can either hope to pick the non tilting platform.. or if you can make a jump halfway
across the narrow platform, it won't tilt.
But I still enjoyed the show... quite a few cringe worthy wipeouts. |

Another GREAT episode, but I was so bummed that Didi Wong from Hong Kong didn't win it all. They better do an all-star version and some point and bring
"Never been kissed" Ariel and Didi Wong from Hong Kong back. My two fave girls.
Awesome having an all-girl finale at the end. That mutton chop guy looked like Michael Cera to me. I love how they kept putting the ZZZZs up when he fell. It did look like he all of a sudden just fell asleep and fell. ETA: Loved the return of wrecking ball, but Plank-in-the-Face owned this episode. So many laughs.

I might actually feel too bad for the contestants and worry too much to get full enjoyment out of this show. I do hope Buzzman is back to full health now. And I'll just bet he signed all kind of waivers so that he's totally responsible for his own health care. Let this be a message to all future contestants. Do not go on if you do not have health insurance. |

Which begs the question, should ordinary insurance even cover injuries incurred while on a show like Wipeout. |
|||

Sure, why not?
It would cover you if you drove recklessly and got in a car accident, or if you drove drunk and crashed. It's there to insure your health, not to insure that you behave responsibly. |

Geez, even if you attempted to kill yourself it would still be covered. If you have a good plan, it's only a $500 deductible (but rehab and physical
therapy are routinely minimally covered or not covered at all).

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd sign up for a lower-priced insurance policy that didn't cover extreme sports. |

I just wish single people like myself didn't have to pay as much and many times more per month for insurance than people with spouses and kids. Our
insurance system sucks in this country. Why do I have to pay $494 a month for just me (a healthy, non-overweight, non-smoking person) when I have friends who
get a family rate for about that same amount and many times less with multiple people on it?
Back on topic. The obstacle course does look wicked nasty, but you can see everything is so very well-padded and you are landing in water when you fall. If you are in shape, you shouldn't get any serious injury running the course. A person could be walking in their backyard and trip and fall and break/tear something. If you go on this show, you do it at your own risk. Personally, I am shocked so many fatties attempt this show. However, they are hilarious and hope they continue to delude themselves into thinking they can do it and keep on coming. I'm still cracking up thinking of all the great "plank-in-the-face" moments and that guy who bounced backwards landing in a seated position on the third big ball somehow, but then couldn't make it past the last ball to the platform. I love this show. |

You know what the best part of this show is? The third round! The commentaries are hilarious and you care enough about the players.

I have to say I was not a big fan of the king of the hill stage. I like the second round being the sweeper.

I thought it gives everyone a chance unlike the sweeper where only the long-legged ones survive. You snooze you lose.

I hear ya. I had to pay the same for myself and my daughter as a coworker who had a wife and five kids on it. They did cover my 3 month stay in the nursing home, though, so I guess I can't bitch too much. I don't mind the king of the hill thing, for the reasons already mentioned. We don't get wipeouts that are as funny, but it is a bit more fair. |
