Wipeout Australia

I think I watch this reality show only for the Aussie commentators. They are just the best. Where do they come up with their lines?! It's a reality show, it can't be scripted, right?

It's my third episode today and I never would've found it had I not been channel surfing over the long weekend. First round, 20 participants go through a 4-obstacle course where only 12 with the fastest time will go through to the next round. 6 will be eliminated in the second round and 2 on the third. The grand prize is $20k. Not such a bad thing for the weird obstacle courses they have to go through. Today's episode doesn't have interesting participants, so the commentators have their work cut out for them. Yesterday's episode had a parking officer, a lady with an evil laugh, a nurse and a red headed boy. The commentators had a field day with them.

Meanwhile, the show itself is pretty boring (slippery and spinning courses being their major obstacles) if not for the excellent giggle inducing comments and Benny Hill background music.
