Wipeout

Same premise but not nearly as funny with the new hosts... the commentary from John Henson and John Anderson, as well as the silly digital art add ins are what made it a blast to watch. I used to laugh so hard tears were rolling down my face now it's just an occasional cackle.

Like many here I'm a big fan of the original, Henson's contrast to Anderson's straight man was the strength of this show, mainly, it was natural and believable. The chemistry in this incarnation seems forced, just a couple of people (Cena's the only known person) reading cue cards. Same with Camille, just eye-candy, not much more, Jill had charm, wit, and good looks, and she was natural and believable in her spot. I do hope hope they find a new audience who never saw the original, they might be entertained, but sadly, I couldn't even finish the first episode. I'll pass.

Huge fans of wipeout but this doesn't feel right. We tried to watch the first episode and it was painful and eventually turned it off toward the end. It seems to be trying to hard and the host need to scale it back.

You can't go wrong with wipeouts, they're hilarious and amazing. The problem with this reboot is the annoying commentary and too much time spent on team intros.

The older version of Wipeout focused on the obstacles whereas this version is spending too much time on the hosts. The hosts should be more background colour commentary less show feature.
