There’s a new game show on the abc network entitled Wipeout. The show can be annoying at times, funny, and sometimes entertaining. I find it funny to see people flying through the air as they try to bounce off a big red ball but at the same time I don’t see how they don’t hurt themselves and it can be disturbing to see how these people practically break their necks.

I also get annoyed watching over weight people trying to get through an obstacle course when obviously they are not going to be able to do very well. The most physically fit people struggle through these courses. I feel as though the people in charge of selecting contestants purposely chose these heavy people in order to get a few laughs. These contestants may not realize how bad they look so it just doesn’t sit right with me. This doesn’t mean that the contestants have to be skinny either. I just ask that they make sure that these people are physically capable of handling such rigorous courses and aren’t there to be laughed at. One woman in particular I remember watching her trying to get up a ladder and the commentators were making fun of her. I didn’t find this funny at all and thought if this woman realized how they were cracking jokes about her weight she probably wouldn’t have put herself through this.

Overall, I think this show could be good if the commentators were switched to hosts of the show. The commentators are really too silly and make the show seem like a joke. It is like a comedian is telling a joke and it isn’t funny but they keep trying to tell it in different ways to see if you will laugh at least once.

After watchinga few minutes of tonights show they also don’t need to have the machinery talking. That is completely stupid.
