We're seriously considering having Wipeout! parties where we get together 4 or 5 people and everyone picks their guy at the end of the first round and throws in a dollar. Then if your guy gets eliminated, you can bet on someone at the end of the second round for 2 dollars. After that, you can go fuck yourself. We'd just have to come up with a system for the order of who gets to pick first. I remember last season where my wife, my brother, our friend Jeff and I had all picked the final four and it was INCREDIBLY fun rooting for our people throughout the show. Adds a whole different dimension. It's such a FUN experience. I love having this show back.
Also, Jill Wagner is fucking hot.
