Wipeout is an action-packed family entertainment gameshow in which contestants from all walks of life compete in the world's biggest television obstacle race, to win a coveted title and a grand cash prize.
In each episode, twenty-four intrepid contestants - male and female, young and old, fit and not-so-fit - take on four new gruelling obstacle courses. First up is a demanding challenge that includes racing down a slippery slope, or crossing a series of precarious giant bouncy balls. Only the twelve most determined and fearless will make it to the next round.
This is the formidable Sweeper round which sees contestants jumping on a ridiculously small platform, high above water, to avoid a padded bar as it spins round. Or they attack the dreaded treadmill that requires contestants to stay on as long as possible as they face a barrage of random objects. Whatever obstacles they confront . action, grit and spectacular spills are guaranteed.
And the result? Four pumped contestants eager to take on the most extreme series of obstacles ever created in the Wipeout final - the Zone. A 45 foot slide, rolling barrels, a G-force packed spinning plate and trampoline platforms ensure a final round so intense that it saps every last ounce of energy out of contestants and viewers alike.
Take on Wipeout. the ultimate in painfully funny family entertainment and join the wave of territories benefiting from cost effective back-to-back recording in Argentina's spectacular pre-built Wipeout set.
