Two years now, will be going on three and this is filming time. Possibly next year.

Note: By next year I mean filming not airing!

How long was it in between Fear Factor ending and being revived? Six years? Give it that long then something might happen.

So not far around the corner is four more years emoticon I know it probably won't even happen then but still. I want Wipeout back. It really ended in 2010 emoticon

There's no guarantee it will come back, but they seem to like pushing their formats as much as they can so I'm sure they'll try to get it commissioned again sometime.

Yeah I think they like Wipeout. It's very popular

Re: Wipeout [is officially over]


Had a busy day so just decided to end it watching Season 7 Blind Date. It wasn't BAD (certainly not as bad as I recall!), but it wasn't really good. I think they're three categories of issues here. Two out of three really easily fixable.

Lack of variation: Having one course all season is a pretty bad start to the season. The starting obstacles only being in four different forms of Smackwalls (with the least Smackwall-y only appearing twice!) was also hugely disappointing. But cheaper obstacles could have been built instead. The variation wasn't as bad as one might think for later seasons with foam on the Play-Pound in some episodes and different things on the last Qualifier obstacle with the shaking platforms. Then there were two round 2s, which was a nice little change, both of which were fine, but needed variation. The Sweeper especially would've been easy to variate. And if I recall, the Champions of Champions episodes actually mixed Space Race up by filling it with foam. Round 3 was the one that was the same every week, but the course itself was decent, and it had a good name. The people throwing offered something different. I think the Zone only had dodgeballs and (possibly) Hell's Caroseul's bars spinning the opposite direction one week emoticon So yeah, build a bunch of cheap starting obstacles, bring back the Sucker Punch and pretty good Qualifier. Add a hoop, crusher and Dodgeball Seeper and pretty cool variation there. Maybe alternate the Purple People Beater's shape cut-out wheel with different shapes or a windmill and that'd be fine. Zone you could spin stuff in the opposite directions once or twice, and maybe have a foamy or all-ball Zone.

Bad commentary: This isn't the Olympics, we don't need an update on who's in 8th place, just stick to the old funny script, and get funny conetestants and different storylines and that should help. BRING BACK WREKKIE!!

Skip-Rule in The Zone: Here's the crazy "Why'd they do that?!" one. It was literally faster to jump in the water, and swim ahead which ruined the whole thing. I think all the obstacles are passable, at least with slower speeds so not sure of their reasoning here. All three of the obstacle-obstacles were passed once though. The Gears of Fear final jump is really long though. Maybe move it closer. I have to wonder if they wanted the skip-rule or saw the Zone, thought it was impossible, didn't feel like fixing it (even though it didn't need fixing), so decided to add the skip-rule. So yeah, build passable obstacles, remove skip-rule.

And I know you can't believe I didn't make a point of Smackwalls, but we know this by now. Plus only the first two are properly Smackwalls. I know the slide on the Play-Pound is kind of unfair because the contestants can't control it, but I think the x is spinning so fast that it doesn't really matter, and it's just about reflexes.

Thoughts?

Did they really get rid of all the humour? That was like one of the main points of the show, and they ditched it to become Ninja Warrior?

Well they ditched it for less funny, more American Ninja Warrior and time-based humor emoticon Sad

Here's the first if you like:

I skipped through it and could swear I'd seem those obstacles before. But maybe it was just from when I skipped through it before when it was originally on!

I think you've watched the first episode of the last season.

Back then I always found it funny how people on Facebook thought that the show would be good again once Jill returned. Just got worse.
