Wipeout (2008–2014)
10/10
I forgot how much I loved this show
19 September 2023
Just found this on Netflix and decided to check it out. I forgot how funny this is. It's like a game show version of America's Funniest Home Videos. Obviously it isn't showcasing the best and the brightest this country has to offer, but that's kind of what makes it fun. Unlike say, one of the exploitative talk shows like Jerry Springer, this is more light hearted, like the aforementioned AFV. It's also akin to MXC, which I loved as well, so that may be why I enjoy this so much. Originally, I thought shows like this were kind of mean spirited, but after thinking about it I realized that the contestants are in on it. They know what they signed up for. And the humor from the John's is not overtly offensive. It's more playful than mean.

I hope at some point they bring this show back. It's time for a reboot.
