Re: What you would like in Washout Series 3


Well I think they've got to go ahead with the new course. Personally I'd like to see the rules revised to match the original, and they certainly need to scrap the nonsense in the Wipeout Zone where people skip obstacles.


Ideally I'd like to see the graphics and theme changed to that of the original (well, Total Wipeout France anyway). I can cope without a co-host for Hammond, but cut the filler (4 runs on the Dizzy Dummy, 4 finalists in the Wipeout Zone instead!), and defo cut the crap before the Wipeout Zone.


Being more realistic though, whatever they do (and I'm fully expecting more of the same), it shouldn't be a watered down version of Wipeout. So we want a motivator that motivates, a Swing Set which swings, Breakaway Planks that Breakaway and a Crazy Sweeper which actually is Crazy!

And back to the theme, for the voiceover I was thinking:

"Ladies and Gentlemen...

[contestant shout out]

20 of the best of British are about to tackle the craziest obstacle course of their lives.

They'll be plenty of this...

some of this...

and a whole lot of that...

In the end just 4 will remain to take on the toughest challenge of all - the Wipeout Zone...

For the winner, victory - and £10,000...

whilst for the rest, it's Total Wipeout!"

I agree with Brekkie, in what I'd like to happen. But it never will.

- Cut the show down to 45 minutes.
- Get rid of the replays (especially the sloooooooow motion ones) over and over.
- Stop using the producer's personal CD collection as the background music.

MOST importantly:
- Variation, variation, variation. No obstacle used more than twice in a series; but that certainly doesn't mean use something twice in a row.
- NO interview crap during the Sweeper*
- NO "this is the best thing evarz" stuff before the Zone. Round 3 > Zone. NOTHING in between.
- Please get new script writers. And a pair of hosts who are, you know, actually funny.


Seeing as probably none of that will happen, that'll be me not watching next series again.



*Imagine King of the Mountain. Every time someone falls off will we get them popping up to tell us what it was like to fall, before them climbing back up and falling again, just to tell us the same thing AGAIN?

What I mean by renaming obstacles as in renaming obstacles seen on international versions of Wipeout like renaming the Buoy Run to the Walk of Shame, etc.
