Good night and big balls.

Pulease tell me you guys are watching Wipeout. In my humble opinion this is the funniest game show that has ever been on American TV. My timing is off on this post because the season is over but ABC is playing the season over so you can still catch it. The show is pretty much one ridiculous stunt after another. Like the name decrees there are a lot of wipeouts. I know there are some of you who probably don’t think it’s funny to see another human being make a fool out of themselves but I’m not with you. I love it. My gosh, they know what they’re getting into when they sign up so laugh away as far as I’m concerned. The video I picked is of Ariel Tweto my favorite contestant for the season. “Where’s the pole?” This is just a clip of the qualifier. She goes on to do other funny things during the show but I couldn’t find it on YouTube.
Besides the major spills my favorite part of the show are the two commentators. Either they are naturally funny or they have great writers. Either way they have me rolling while I watch. I love the way they pick a characteristic of a contestant and then just exploit it all the way through their run. I just can not get enough of this show.
Let me get a shout out from all of you watching Wipeout!! And if you’re not, check it out next week and let me know what you think. It’s freaking hilarious.

Oh man, Chris and I watch this show almost every week, and we just love it. I think Chris is in love with the show. When we were watching your boys, Scott and Chris were talking about how to go audition for it. hah, and oh my gosh, yes. The girl who couldn’t find the pole was probably my favorite part and I love the comments the commentators make. They are too funny.

You know I’m sorry but my favorite part is the overweight people who really, REALLY think they’re going to make it on to the finals. Like Miss PHAT- and the woman that they had to help out of the mud because she was too big to lift herself out. Like seriously- you’re overweight because you don’t do active stuff like this, so why would you think you can do active stuff like this?!?

Thomas loves to watch this show with us! I think it is hilarious. My favorite moment happened in the first or second episode when this poor woman in her 40s (a bit out of shape) got to the end where she was supposed to swing on a rope over to the finishing platform. She took hold of the rope, sat down, and skidded off into the water. But the funniest part was the sound effect they added when she did it—it sounded like tires screeching on a highway! So funny. I still laugh when I remember it.

Ariel Tweto is more than funny. She is cute as a warm puppy, seriously athletic, and a real winner. The show is pretty good, but she really stole the show as being the only woman finalist is a very tough course and doing it all with a natural sense of fun and good humor in spite of some nasty spills and having one contestant up chuck on her in the spin machine. With a little bit of kindness and good luck, she is headed for fame and fortune big time.
