Discuss.
That is just ABC trying to milk out at much money as they can on a overused and abused concept. Sasuke/Ninja Warrior actually has skill, strength, stable budget, difficulty, and a cult following for MANY years.

I do like Sasuke better, but it's so hard to find for me at this point, and Wipeout's going year-round.

I thought game shows were technically supposed to be winnable. This is just watching people's stupid poor judgement and athletics while they fall and luckily win money. If it was a gameshow you'd have to pass everything no matter what. It's cheesy, it is completely half assed, and if I have to hear John Henson's annoying a$$ one more time I will shoot myself; there is a reason why he was let off of Talk Soup

If they made this a more serious show, it would be alot better than what it is now. They would have to think of obstacles that involve brute energy and not hit or miss, or motors/hydraulics (they seem to really cheap people out with those kinds of obstacles). Then people would actually have to be in shape for this. If they do this then I don't have to stare down an obese middle aged woman's butt crack for 5 straight minutes.

Not hate, just voicing his opinion.

(Bump)
Wipeout is crap it is so cheesy and make look whats the word... Random I call it While Ninja Warrior IS brilliant. It looks serious and the obstacle designs are clever and as bonus its Japanese. Also it is funny because I remember a compeitor could not takes his trousers off and failed at the first step. Oh and takeshis Castle Was legendary to me.

Not a bump really.

Wipeout is entertainment, Ninja Warrior is skill. I like Sasuke better because it combines the two at most, but Wipeout is a fun show to watch when you don't have anything else to watch.

Plus DirecTV canceled G4. :FFFUUU
