Not sure if this is suggesting or discussing, but based on all the shows we've seen so far, what would be your perfect show?
The Qualifier
The Sweeper
It's certainly favoured over King of the Mountain, but too many choices really when it comes to tweaking it - for me it's between The Crusher and Dodgeball.
Round 3
It may have been painful and dangerous for the contestants, but hey, it made great TV. I'm taking the Cookie Cutter from episode 9 (the pilot) - and I'm sure it could be tweaked to be made a bit safer for future use. Second choice would be the Wrecking Ball.
Wipeout Zone
And just so we're in no doubt, of course the American hosts would be in charge.
The Qualifier
- Human Pinball - might ruin the first obstacle not actually being an obstacle gag, but I think it's a neat way to start
- The Heavy Bag Run - loved this in the Superbowl special - seemed so epic compared to things like the Topple Towers from series 1
- The Big Balls - naturally
- The Bubble Bath - tough one, but slightly more skill in landing in something than on something IMO
The Sweeper
It's certainly favoured over King of the Mountain, but too many choices really when it comes to tweaking it - for me it's between The Crusher and Dodgeball.
Round 3
It may have been painful and dangerous for the contestants, but hey, it made great TV. I'm taking the Cookie Cutter from episode 9 (the pilot) - and I'm sure it could be tweaked to be made a bit safer for future use. Second choice would be the Wrecking Ball.
Wipeout Zone
- Aqua Launch - well, Aqua Launch/Killer Surf are the same thing really. I'd go for the ball explosion at the end
- Raging Rapids - I never thought Barrel Run was particularly bad, but the Raging Rapids in the Superbowl special were a fantastic addition and visually look so much better on TV
- The Spinner - well, if it's a choice between the Spinner and the Crazy Sweeper there's no question. I missed the Spinner in the Superbowl special, and IMO it's as important a part of the Wipeout Zone as the Big Balls are of the Qualifier.
- Launch Pads - the perfect final obstacle IMO - tough, with spectacular Wipeout's for those who fail . Certainly better than Blast Off or the Turntables, which were probably intended as substitutes for the Spinner but no Wipeouts = no fun!
And just so we're in no doubt, of course the American hosts would be in charge.
