Wipeout around the World


OK, will require a bit of work on this one, but here according to Wikipedia is the list of countries showing Wipeout:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wipeout_%282008_game_show%29#International_versions

Now we know Australia and France have almost certainly been axed - I've a feeling Germany might have been as well from the feedback I saw.

Canada (in French) and Portugal are expected to launch before the end of the year, whilst Mexico is the newest on the block having launched in August. It begins in Iceland and the Phillipines next year.

I though South Africa was due too, but no mention of that there.


So getting to the point really, but do we know which versions are likely to return for series 2. Of course we're hoping they all have higher standards than Total Wipeout, so a course upgrade should be on the cards.

Marcus Wolter, CEO of endemol Germany, said in an interview that they feel confident that Wipeout could have good ratings, especially because the first few episodes were a rating success. So he said that they want to work on that show. However, ProSieben never mentioned Wipeout again and no casting process is running.

As far as I know Switzerland never aired their own version of Wipeout. At least I can't find any information on the website of the Swiss Television and that is probably the only channel that would consider to produce a Swiss version.

I've not heard anything about any other country filming more series'. Only America and the UK, obviously.

Maybe it didn't work as well everywhere else in the world as hoped?

It is strange that some countries have brought the rights but still haven't filmed yet. The courses will (hopefully) have been updated by the time they get around to it!

I think Switzerland are often lumped in with Germany with these big formats (pretty sure they are with Big Brother), so perhaps they showed the German version?

Yeah, some Swiss took part in the German Big Brother and people from Switzerland and Austra can also vote to evict (though their numbers and the possibility to take part in that show were not advertised), but the rights were not sold to an Swiss channel.

If you have a satellite dish you can watch every German TV channel and the major channels also have special Swiss version with different ads and a few other programms. So all Swiss people can watch Big Brother on RTL2 or could watch Wipeout on ProSieben. I guess you could also watch Total Wipeout France in the France speaking parts of Switzerland.

However, there is the possibility that they make their version, like they have already done their own Big Brother. And I think that is what Wikipedia claims: a local version, but in my eyes highly unlikely.

Russia the latest country to pick it up. And several countries conned into buying the UK version.

Apart from that the UK version is ****, why do they want to broadcast a copy, if they can have the original one. That makes no sense to me. Maybe the rights for the UK version were a lot cheaper to buy.

They're probably giving Washout away, as no one wants to buy it emoticon

I wonder how they're going to do it anyway? They'll have to subtitle it. Unless they edit in their own hosts? What a waste of effort for something so bad.

Well English language shows air across the world - dubbed I guess.

I'd like to see if they repackage it as something like Wipeout UK anyway and replace the titles with something more in line with the standard (and correct) version.

'Wassuck' is an actual word from Black Country meaning 'fool'.
