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

8 days? i assume they do a 3 shows worth in an 8 day stint?

Lad i work with went to the auditions in birmingham and described it as the biggest freakfest he'd ever seen in his life.

In his words " I was way to normal to compete with that crowd of ****s"

I went to school with 'Kamikaze Sam'. One of the girls on one of the shows.

Spoken to someone else that had been on it too, but i can't remember who!

I liked The Motivator for peeps waiting too long to jump on the Big Red Balls

When you start yell "OcUK for the win"

It was the cougar I pulled the other week that told me, she was a contestant on it and it got me wanting to go on it as she had so much fun ! hahaha

Quite possibly, I was a dribbling wreck at the time.

My friend Dave Senart who I played American Football with last year managed to get on this years show which is currently being aired.

You cannot miss him he is American and fat

As for how he did...........he won't spill the beans lol.

Have been watching every week to see how he gets on. knowing my luck he will be on one of the later shows.

I youtubed Total Wipeout and amongst all the funny clips there are loads of interview vids. Interesting. I knew from the bird that they said you had to be a bit mental to get put in, come to think of it, she was a bit mental when I was with her hahaha

Uk total wipeout is like stale pish. Watch the us version for some actual funny/painful family viewing. Plus Hammond sucks as a commentator.

Not only does he suck at his job, he has a wooden pedestal which he never places anything on, ever.

I agree, he totally doesn't fit there but the female presenter is very good at what she does

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

Surely you have a funky dance though?

I think if you get through you should say something like "Hey bro take it slow you gotta get me a video!"
