Re: Wipeout around the World
I don't know if they could have fitted the Slippery Course into the 'good' course as well as Dizzy Dummy, could they? I can't find the pverhead pictures again to check. They use the same pool in America after all. So, looks like it will just be DD. Which is rubbish.
Maybe they'll use the Dreadmill again, and have new variations?

Re: Wipeout around the World
Thanks for finding those pictures. They DO have enough room to build another pool in the good side then, so they could have Slippery Course and Dizzy Dummy at the same time. Really doubt they have though, seeing as they've gone for mainly old-new stuff, which is a shame.
Two hours!? Puts Washout to shame! 
I have seen some clips where they have rounds with the contestants just doing one obstacle at a time. That's obviously how they fill the time.
Seen them do the Big Balls one at a time, to see who can get the furthest. Also seen them do Dizzy Dummy obstacles one at a time, to see who can cross successfully.

Re: Wipeout around the World
Actually I think two hours is too long. One hour like in the USA is good.
And it is really a shame that they didn't build the Slippery Course. Way better than the Dizzy Dummy. Maybe they build it, when more countries start to produce their second season.

Re: Wipeout around the World
Two hours is waaaay too long! I was joking about it beating Washout, as at 1 hour that's too long as well. 
I don't know why these countries have stretched the format out so much.
Well, I suppose seeing as the set it already there it's a cheap couple of hours of TV. Answered my own question

Re: Wipeout around the World
That's true. Wonder if the Rocket will ever make it to Argentina? We'll have new-new-new series 3 obstacles before long. Wonder if they'll skip the Gyro Sweeper, Slippery Course, Rocket and Catapult Zone altogether? Hope not.
Still crossing my fingers that the other course has the Gyro and Catapult Zone, so countries can film some on both courses.

Re: Wipeout around the World
I can understand if they skip the Rocket. It was probably the most repetitive obstacle and the international versions really suffered from that factor. But then they should do the other three obstacles. Especially Gyro Sweeper could easily be built.

Re: Wipeout around the World
I'm just gonna make a few comments about the Quebec version of Wipeout. First off, there are three half-hour episodes a week. The Monday show is the Qualifier, The Tuesday show is the Sweeper/Dizzy Dummy*, and the Wednesday show is the Wipeout Zone.
I'll take two differences (of what I've seen):
- The Dizzy Dummy obstacles have mini-Spinners at the beginning.
- Five (?!?) people in the Wipeout Zone.
Obstacles of the episodes (and flashbacks from qualifier):
Qualifier: Balance Beams, Punch, Big Balls, Field Goal/Catapult Swing
Dodgeball Sweeper
Dizzy Dummy: Log Crossing(a whole bunch of logs in a row, not sure what they're called),
Doughnuts (first one purple, second one white, third one purple)
Wipeout Zone: Killer Surf, Barrel Run, Water Wall, Spinner, Brusher, Launch Pads.
I'd rate this version a 4/5. Only flaw is that it is in separate shows for each round.
