so, i caught part of wipeout tonight on abc. one thing i'm sure of: it's no mxc.
i'm not even a huge mxc fan, but it's much funnier with it's overdubs and witty comments. wipeout is trying to be an actual gameshow in the style of mxc, using a lot of the same games, but doesn't have the wit or heart. mxc is good because it's not trying to be a gameshow anymore. there are no prizes, and many of the games barely make sense. wipeout, it's just goofy competitions with some terrible announcing. and a sideline reporter lady. it had a few funny moments, like some dude falling on his face and then into the water, but overall it was a bit of a dud.
after wipeout was 'i survived a japanese gameshow.' i didn't realize that this was more of a reality show, but it actually was sort of interesting as a mix of survivor and mxc. i actually think one of the japanese hosts may be from mxc, but what do i know.
