Wipeout (2008 game show): Difference between revisions

* [[Covered in Gunge]]

* [[Golden Snitch]]: Rankings in any given round have no effect on the next round, though you won't see the next round if you don't place high enough. Also, in the Wipeout Zone final round, the Gauntlet (when it appears) is often the match-decider, as it is a series of obstacles, often with a particularly hard one last, and wiping out anywhere on it forces you to start the entire set from the beginning.

* Personnel:

** [[Game Show Host]]: Two of them: John Anderson and John Henson, although their role is closer to that of a commentator. (Unsurprisingly, Anderson's day job is [[Sports Center]] anchor and John Henson was a former [[The Soup|Talk Soup]] host.)

* [[Camp Gay]]: "Fierce Dragon" Eddie Moton Jr.

* [[The Cast Showoff]]: In "Ballsy gets a hard hat", Kenny gets a moment to show off his juggling skills.

* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: The Wipeout Zone is decidedly darker than the rest of the show's courses. The music is more dramatic, and the Johns are considerably less snarky than they are the rest of the show. And oh yeah, there's fire everywhere in the background.

* [[Cherry Tapping]]: Many challenges feature added distractions in the form of water being sprayed at the contestants or various objects being thrown at them. With balance being as much of an issue as it oftentimes is, sometimes just the lightest hit can knock a person into the water. Best exemplified in one episode where a contestant was knocked into a water by a thrown ''hot dog''.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: John Henson and John Anderson.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Well, more like "too dumb to make it to the next round," but some contestants do some stupid things.

** Of course, the Johns don't seem worried about this as Henson tosses out a "Let's get it on!" plus hand gesture combo as seen on the MXC version of the show.

** [[The BBC]] shows a UK version.
