Wipe Out and Japanese Game Shows
We love obstacle games. We used to watch an “Extreme” show on Spike TV awhile back. I forget what it was called, but this was definitely something this new Wipe Out show was based on. Regardless, last night on ABC we were laughing so hard watching everyone do exactly that….Wipe Out! This is a show where people do zany obstacles in the best time and it’s fun to watch.
The next show that came on was “I Survived a Japanese Game Show”, and while we had fun watching it, this elimination thing where each week someone is booted off is getting old. Tired of this. I want to watch a show from start to finish each week. I don’t want to commit to a full season, based on watching one show. While we giggled and enjoyed the game, we prefer to watch the real versions that you can catch on G4 such as Ninja Warrior and Banzuke. My son introduced me to those shows, and they are a blast to watch. This other new version of eliminate someone each week on a reality type show…eh, not so much.
We’ll keep WipeOut! but the Japanese Game Show gets the boot at our house.
