Title: WIPEOUT (on ABC)
Post by: larger_format on May 25, 2008, 06:01:09 AM

looks like ABC has come up with their answer to AMERICAN GLADIATORS
it's called WIPEOUT (much to the delight of the 60s group THE VENTURES $)
they rolled out the first preview during the NBA championship game last night.

the contestant they feature is none other than three time Ms Olympia,Iris Kyle
(as they two guys doing the voiceover inform) they do a comedy banter where one calls Iris a "he" throughout the clip.

That is a take-off of a Japanese show.

Yeah, the Japanese have been doing this wacky shit for years now.  Usually comes on late at night on the WB or something. 

It's not a 'good' show...it's just funny to watch people absolutely bust their asses up trying to win gift certificates.
