“Wipeout” comes to ABC
This summer, ABC welcomes “Wipeout” to the airwaves, a reality-type show where contestants try to navigate a water-based obstacle course. This is most notable to “Nerdage” readers for the presence of Jill Wagner (“Blade: The Series,” “Stargate Atlantis”), who is a co-host on this show. Some previews are available at the ABC Web site.
ABC says:
Human cannonballs! Human pinballs! Crashes, smashes and mud splashes! Twenty-four thrill-seekers will compete in the world’s largest extreme obstacle course designed to provide the most spills, face plants and wipeouts ever seen on television, in Wipeout, a painfully funny new reality series premiering Tuesday, June 24 8/7c on the ABC Television Network.
Each week 24 daring new contestants of all ages, shapes and sizes will go head to head through four rounds of grueling and physically demanding but wildly hilarious obstacle courses to win the title of “Wipeout Champion” and the grand prize of $50,000. The contestants and the courses change every week, with over-the-top obstacles including “Dizzy Dummy” the “Dirty Balls” and “The Dreadmill” — which will have contestants jumping hurdles on a 40-foot long treadmill at warp speed. In the end, only one contestant will win, while everyone else will Wipeout!
