Season 9


I know this post might seem premature considering that the second half of season 8 still hasn't been airing (Holey Moley finishes airing next week so hopefully Wipeout starts up again), but there have been a few things happening regarding season 9.

Filming for The Qualifier/Gauntlet has wrapped! This was confirmed on Camille's Instagram story today. In the video she shared we can see a bunch of cranes near the zone pool so zone filming should be happening soon. They've got the background in but I don't see any actual obstacles.

We also know that there is a new pool! The middle round they were filming on today starts in this pool and ends in the square pool. The circle pool is not part of this round.

I'm hoping this means that some episodes will have The Gauntlet and others will have a different course or maybe even an endurance round done blind date style (one member of each team has to win a heat).

Last year, filming began in October. However, this year, it began a whole two months earlier. I don't know why they're doing this (with season 8 still needing to finish airing season 9 will probably start airing around the same time season 8 did), but I was hoping for a possible course b. However, Camille's first season 9 filming story to her most recent is 21 days. I'm guessing this means 5 days for each starter and 1 to swap them out.

As for the actual course, we don't have any really revealing pictures. The most we have is Camille exercising using the new Gauntlet's stairs. I'm theorizing that those lead to a slide.

That's all we really have so far!

Re: Season 9


Wow, thanks for the report. Well I guess I'm glad that it's getting another season anyway as it's something to talk about. And who knows, maybe they'll actually improve and vary stuff! Do we know if this season is all teams? I believe that's what they casted for, but I've lost track.

That new pool is very promising! That means there are now three pools (and the Messy Mile area), not including Qualifier and Zone, right? The fact that the circle pool isn't part of this round is promising. Maybe that means the circle will be part of a proper Sweeper/Double Cross-style round two? Or a Rocket/Circle Challenge-style round three? I reeeeally hope so. More importantly, I hope they have four rounds per episode next season. Yes, having alternating middle rounds would be cool, but four different courses per ep is more important to the structure right now - and the original show didn't always have multiple third rounds anyway.

I believe everything I said about the pools is true, but correct me if I have the wrong idea! I still don't have a good sense of this new set's arrangement.

The new pool looks like it's where the Messy Mile was. Here's a picture.

It says "last one of the season" in the bottom right but Camille posted on her story yesterday and appeared to be filming Qualifier. I'm hoping this means he was referring to the last time they were using that round this season.

Re: Season 9


That's the obvious place for a new pool (it's where the old one was afterall) but even if they've switched it up a bit it is not very promising if The Gauntlet is returning in any form.

Any news on when the rest of season 8 airs. TBH if season 9 is another 20 episodes of basically the same thing I'd actually rather they held back the second half of season 8 and aired it with half the episodes from season 9 in alternate weeks. That way they get two courses for the season, including one brand new.

If they get a further season they can repeat so each series is half the new course, half the previous seasons course. If they don't get recommissioned they just air the 10 remaining episodes as their own season.

Re: Season 9


We have a MASSIVE leak!

https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10227024597707456&set=br.AbpaZXl4Xn72hHpUpmb42vpDE9mT0apddUVkLebx-Cp2rnyx9QSaM5JXY0UQ5J2OUUjbgiCjkiZz1FO7THHGpi0uWe49QxoulVMmhprpTAQY95NkEmGZx5jMZWo2lVAzUpGXy7YEA_0BCpsEksQH6T-eqW9QYQlqBoG9WeZ-qs1iHtxPNzkEbUHtn17yBocRhVY4YOfYtdLgs3pbubY_F-sVEI0-PiGz3Lrj-dwFdx_v9WCO1RYKM3gIg4FTJ7BJ8Ws

This looks absolutely insane. The final obstacle looks like the Sinister Snowflakes with a turntable in the middle or something. One thing that doesn't excite me is the circle pool being completely empty already. Unless they filmed any episodes using that and then quickly tore it down, we're probably not getting a second middle round. emoticon

Edit: After putting the image through an enhancement software, it's safe to say that the second obstacle is the Leap of Faith 2.0.

Re: Season 9


Another update: The circle pool has water in it but there aren't any obstacles in there. I wonder if it's just there for decoration because an empty pool wouldn't look good in the show.

Re: Season 9


So The Gauntlet will only have two parts rather than three, not that the Caroushell was that interesting anyway and it was never good that you'd have some people still on part 1 when others were finishing.

Re: Season 9


Building a pool just to use as decoration would be one of the stupidest decisions ever. So they've probably done just that!

I do approve of shortening The Gauntlet regardless of other middle round potential.

The final Zone obstacle is intriguing, but still looks like it'll be way too easy. Leap of Faith 2.0 is too similar (it should've been swapped in mid-season 8 for variety's sake, actually) and looks easy again.

While I retain a small ray of hope for an alternate second round and some variety throughout, there's still no sign of improvement.

The new pool is being used for The Gauntlet. emoticon It's the circle pool that has no obstacles but is filled with water for some reason.

This was posted on Instagram today meaning there's more than likely no course b. It's a disappointment but I'm not surprised.
