Applying for Total Wipeout

Liquid_Entity · 3 Feb 2011 at 13:13

I've just filled out my application form...typical Endomol application about 8 pages long. Anyone on here ever applied, got through ??

I'd love to get on, a great challenge for one's self and of course amusing at the same time.

What would your cheesy slogan be before you jump down the slide?

Biohazard · 3 Feb 2011 at 13:15

Are you fit or fat?

You must hold up an OcUK sign on the telly!

Remember, the correct technique for those big red balls is to hurl yourself randomly at them. Don't forget to flail and pull a silly face when you head for the drink so the editor can pause your fall for the audience to sufficiently appreciate your humiliation.

Good luck!

PAAAAAAAANCAKE!
Or maybe "I'm not a shop."
Or maybe "These bulbs will save you £700, I'm buying twenty for my house!"
That's all I got.

i'd love to go on this show too. do they pay for your friends and family to fly out too?

Burnsy2023 · 3 Feb 2011 at 13:18

I considered doing this. I doubt they'd pick me. I don't subscribe to cheesy slogans.

Shame its for the UK version, its dire compared to the US one...

Good luck though!

I love Total Wipeout. It's so stupid, but it's flipping hilarious. The sound of people screaming in surprise as they fall off things and into the water never ceases to crack me up.

*boing*
WAAUUURRGHH!
*splash*

I do think Dizzy Dummies is a bit weak though... Much too slow.

US one is much better, their dizzy dummy is much faster, so is their sweeper and the Wipeout Zone.

In fact its all faster/harder than the UK one.

I think you have to buy your own ticket.

Good luck with the application.

But the majority of people on the US one are all fitness fanatics.

They pay you to go to Argentina, no friends or family but recording lasts for up to 8 days.

They also state in the application not to expect a free holiday to Buenos Aires as there's no time for sight seeing hahah

They probably also don't have a stack of risk assessment forms to fill out in case someone gets wet.

Plus the commentators are actually pretty amusing, unlike cringeworthy Hammond.
