The most immediately apparent change is that the course’s familiar red and blue has been replaced by bright colors, though the iconic giant red balls remain. I was a fan of ABC’s Wipeout, and have rather enjoyed all of its successors. When I settled in to watch the episode provided to TV critics, I was expecting to laugh along with Nicole Byer and John Cena as people bounced off of heavily-padded obstacles. That’s just one of the blunders of this reboot of a classic format (TBS, Thursdays at 9), but it’s a major one.
I’m referring to how Wipeout has actually managed to make Nicole Byer and John Cena appear both stodgy and inert. Not the bending people’s bodies into unimaginable positions as they bounce off of obstacles before splashing into a pool of water.
