Wipeout

Oh my God, this show has been on all summer and I have just NOW discovered it. With fifty grand at stake, contestants attempt to complete an "extreme obstacle course" and get knocked on their asses in glorious fashion. Now this in itself is surprisingly entertaining, but it's the running (no pun intended) commentaries by the two male hosts (John Anderson and John Henson) that accompany the action that really has me cracking up. A couple of times, I was laughing so hard that I actually started to cough and subsequently choke (which I guess isn't saying a whole lot, since I'm still recovering from bronchitis--but seriously, the show is just funny as hell).

Does anyone else love this show (and it's "big balls") as much as I do?

It's one of our favorites, too. Brent sits there and cries from laughing so hard. And I thought the "big balls" would go over his head, but the other day he started cackling over that, too :-) It's a great show!

I LOVE this show! I watched it for the first time last night and nearly cried every time they referred to the "Extreme Kiwi". Heh!
