From Cynopsis:

"truTV acquired the exclusive, off-network cable rights to reality series Wipeout debuting on the network September 2 and airing on Fridays at 8p."

I didn't start watching until the second season, so I might have to catch up with the Jill Wagner episodes I missed.

Does this mean we'll get to see Vonti get her ass kicked by the Motivator again? (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZHB5VlF4mQ")

I avoided the first season, because the idea of "Wipeout" just didn't appeal to me.  Then, last year, I was putting promos in (at the TV station) and found myself laughing like a maniac.  I hate to admit it, but I'm hooked.  And I've always liked John Henson anyway.

I got excited when I saw the topic title ("Wipeout Syn") because I thought Peter Tomarken's Wipeout (which was syndicated) would finally see the light of day in repeats. And then I looked at the posts and realized...oh, it's just the ABC Wipeout.

Not that I have cable, anyway...

In the spirit of full disclosure, I'll admit that my first instinct when I see a reference to Wipeout on this board is to think of the Tomarken trivia game.

Me too. Especially with a random-assed target like truTV.

Same here...not that I mind it being the ABC version. That being said, I'm a bit surprised ABC Family didn't pick it up...

To see Tomarken's Wipeout, I have a Wayback Time Machine.  Yes, for $14 Trillion, you can move to the 1980's and view all of tv shows you would want.  Or, you can FORGET it.  Back to you...

For some reason, I find myself thinking of the Fat Boys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt0LBlH3dAc).
