Having never seen the show, I would imagine the rules are: "Don't Wipeout." -- nm - David Jan 6, 19:27 13
- It's Ow My Groin with prizes. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 19:31 6
  - i actually didn't know there were prizes. - TFox Jan 6, 19:31 5
    - see? that's why I'm asking questions. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 20:06
    - The final four get cash, IIRC. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 19:32 3
      - enough to pay for the medical bills? -- nm - David Jan 6, 19:44 2
        
        See, the sad irony is that the winners don't have medical bills and the losers get bupkis. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 6, 19:46
        
        it should pay out like insurance. Break a leg, get $X. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 19:46
- More like, "if you wipe out, make it the most badass wipeout ever" -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 6, 19:29 1
  - when. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 19:31
- see, David gets it. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 19:29 3
  - I actually admire her for trying to add some thought to the proceedings. - David Jan 6, 19:33 2
    - aw shucks. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 20:06
    - alternatively, it's like trying to figure out the motivation of the actors in a porn movie. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 19:34
get hit as hard as you can and keep going -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 19:17
If you are talking about the Wipeout Zone, then it's the person who finishes with the fastest time. If you fall in the water, you have to go back. - ralph wiggum Jan 6, 19:14 11
- so they actually have to finish? -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 19:16 10
  - They can quit any time, but if they do, they lose automatically. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 6, 19:18
  - Yes.......... -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 19:18
  - I'm baffled at how this is confusing you. (nm) - musubi Jan 6, 19:17 5
    - because they don't show anyone finishing. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 19:18 4
      - Ahhh, you are still watching the first round where they mostly just show the highlights. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 6, 19:19 2
        
        Yes, the first round/qualifiers have less strict rules about completing obstacles -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 6, 19:24
        
        ah, thank you. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 19:23
      - they have a circle that they have to get to at the end (of the first round) -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 19:19
  - or they're shot, yes. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 19:17
  - or they are out, people quit all the time -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 19:17
Its an obstacle course, you go thought the course as fast as you can. - musubi Jan 6, 19:14
you fall in the water, you lose. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 19:12 3
- eveyrone falls. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 19:13 2
  - there is a circle at the end where Jill stands, once they get there the clock stops -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 19:20
  - everyone loses. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 19:13
