Wipeout

  1. Next Wednesday - A Wipeout first - Couples Wipeout - ABC 8/7c
  2. Goodnight and Big Balls! Thanks for watching!
  3. The Piston Punch at the end is so powerful that they broke themselves! The welded metal inside snapped! We went very late repairing that!
  4. There are a few standard rules in the Wipeout Zone – like NO CRAWLING - it makes it easy and it’s dull!
  5. This Slippery Course was so much more grueling than we even had time to show. We cut over 55 minutes of struggle down to under 7.
  6. The fingers are just pipe insulating foam in a red sleeve, but jumping a bar on a wobbly 10’ pedestal, I guess a feather might throw you!
  7. Of course we’d hate to make anything easy! That last swing is coated with our favorite ultra-slippery food additive: methyl cellulose.
  8. We had to measure the reach of every contestant and adjust the height of the Zip Line handle every run. See how much it helped them!
  9. That’s a standard trampoline bed on the Hurtles. But at 5’ x 29’ - NOT a standard size. Cost $400 and I think we got good bang for our buck!
  10. Think mud is free? This mud cost about $15K it’s used in baseball fields to make pitcher’s mounds. Its high clay content makes it sticky!
  11. John Henson was the anchor of Talk Soup on E! after Greg Kinnear. John Anderson is still an anchor of Sports Center on ESPN! Busy man.
  12. Hey West Coast, Welcome to the Live tweets!
  13. We don't publish how long a time penalty is because we don't want people strategizing and taking penalties on purpose. That is a bad plan.
  14. Good to know, but we do not suggest it - Rt @VJDavis2 @Wipeout methylcellulose also treats constipation
  15. It takes 2 days per episode - RT @ibespygun2 @Wipeout is one episode of Wipeout completed in one day?
  16. A team of crazy stunt designers and the producers - RT @GANTOLINI @Wipeout who comes up with the design/ course of the wipeout zones?
  17. We figure that out in testing & adjust. RT @djwudi Wow do you guys ever think you've gone too far? Made a course that's just too difficult?
