anyone enjoy this show as much as i do? this 2nd season is great, much better selection of obstacles (piston hurdles are my favorite) and i never get tired of seeing people eat it on the big balls. it's like MXC, except without annoying voice dubs and you get to see fat Americans run an obstacle course. plus Jill Wagner is so very hot

Seeing the large black chick yesterday on that show was one of the single greatest moments of my life.

Must....resist....

It's an alright show once in a while. Funny to watch people get the crap kicked out of them from time to time. Although MXC will always be the better of the two.

I'd rather listen to the voice-over japanese guys than the losers on wipeout.

Annoying voce dubs? You mean voice dubs that actually have comedic value versus the wipeout version which is pretty much completely devoid of humor?

I like the first 1/2 of the show, despite the horrible announcers I'm always up for watching people bite it, but the last obstacle course thing is incredibly boring. Nobody watches that show to see who wins, they watch to see who busts their ass, spending 20 minutes on an actual contest to find a winner without incorporating hilarious falls is stupid. I turn it off as soon as the final obstacle course starts.

Has anyone made it over those big red balls without bailing? It seems like you'd have to be exceedingly lucky to do it.

Watching her own boobs smack herself in the face was hilarious.

I must say, I would be terrified of the big balls. I wonder if anyone has ever suffered a serious injury falling off those.

I love the show, its hilarious. I actually find the final round not as entertaining as all the shenanigans to make it that far.

He didn't make it over the balls, just everything else. He bailed at the second one. He killed it though. Made the course look so easy


And by far worst announcers in history

I noticed that they're not using the catapult anymore on the final event, I'm thinking that people were getting knocked silly by it. They've gone back to the slide.

I love the show, the fat lady was the pinnacle.

No one has EVER made it over the big balls according to the show. No one has ever beat the first obstical course either. The guy last night came the closest, and he beat the record by a lot.

I am 100% sure someone did it last season. It was this small asian gymnast who went very slow and methodical but made it all the way over. I'll try to find a clip.

I look forward to the show every week. Personally I think the hosts are hilarious. My favorite obstacle is the punching wall... love seeing people get punched in the nuts/face.

At least two people made it over the big balls last year no problem - I think even three?

The girl who made it over was the girl from a tiny town in Alaska who was 23 or so and had never been kissed, if I recall - Ariel Tweeto???

I like the hurdles that randomly shoot up and nail someone in the treasures and send them flying into the water.
