Wipeout

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.

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.

The courses are fine but its unwatchable because of the commentary. Nothing about it is natural, its forced and completely unbearable.

The show has become absolute trash! The commentary is horrendous and cringe-worthy! The two new hosts have no chemistry whatsoever and cannot make a single good joke to save their pathetic lives. Please cancel the show or at least bring back both former Johns (NOT John Cena!). The level of frustration and anger I felt when I watched the show was unimaginable!

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.
