The contestants are just as wacky as they've always been. It's almost like they need to skip those rounds and move on to the two semi-final heats and then the final. The editing of the early rounds is also choppy and disjointed. It's like they are watching a tape of the contestants and then trying to come up with a line that fits. Additionally, none of their reactions to the contestants seem genuine. The lines John and Nicole are given are not just unfunny, they are truly, as my subject line says, cringe-worthy. However, something is seriously wrong here. The course is fine and the structure of the rounds works well. However, this iteration of Wipeout may be the worst new television show of ANY kind I've seen in decades. I say all of this to illustrate that I was so looking forward to a new Wipeout. I also thought John Cena did a credible job on American Grit and Nicole Byer's work on Nailed It is first rate.

I even liked Cannonball even though it was not up to that level. Floor is Lava is also quite entertaining. Watching Holey Moley and seeing Rob and Joe go back and forth is a pleasure.
