I'm not really into reality tv. I watched the first couple of seasons of Survivor and The Apprentice, but it's been years since anything has caught my attention enough to want to watch it regularly. Until Wipeout.
I was always a big fan of Spike's Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. For those of you not familiar with this glorious piece of programming, it's a Japanese game show with English dubbing. The translations are somewhat suspect because while the Japanese ARE nuts, I don't think they're as profane as this show makes them out to be. In a nutshell: Crazy hosts. Wacky contestants. Ridiculous challenges. Lots of mud. Hilarity ensues.
Imagine my glee (another show I don't watch, but probably should) when a Big American Network announced their new show - Wipeout. Any MXC fan immediately recognized where this gem got ripped off from, and we were all drooling for the premiere. BAN did not disappoint - Wipeout is glorious.
So now Wipeout Canada is auditioning and I'm actually thinking about it. How hard could it be? This could be my 15 minutes of fame.... physical humiliation on national tv. Who wouldn't go for that?? I just need to guarantee that the Big Balls will be part of it. I heart Big Balls.
