'Project Argentina' - Cubeamania - GRCADE HERO

Love it. The commentary is nowhere near as funny as the american version but it's still great watching people wipeout.
For those who havent seen the american version:

The number of hours we've spend in college frees watching Episodes on youtube is ridiculous! :lol:

That screechy camp sounding guy wasn't me!!

My time on the final round is 1 minute 23 seconds. The next week clip isn't my episode either, I suppose that's my best method for confirming when my episode will be shown.

That was brilliant! Even my grandparents loved it.

Alright but not as good as the American version, due to the commentary being nowhere near as funny. Still, there was a bit of stuff drawn on the screen and interesting soundtrack choices (which are two of the creative parts of the US version that work so well) so they do know what to do. They just need to be a bit more ballsy about it, and Hammond needs someone to co-commentate. You can imagine this being something that Ant and Dec would be good at, actually. The US version just seems to have a lot more energy.

The US version has writers.

So has this version (two of them. Three if you include the fact that the first "writer" appears to be a pair of brothers). So has any scripted programme with links.

I thought it was great. I couldn't care less about the commentary as long as we get to see people making fools on themselves.

They could have fit it into half an hour.

I did not know that - I thought it became unplayable after a certain amount of time...dunno why I thought that.

It is, once you download it you can only keep it for 30 days and as soon as you start it you keep it for 7 days.

So I was lied to! Damn you Jaxley! Meh, it will be available as an .NZB or .torrent file which is the first option I'd go for anyway!

Anyway, i want to see a professional ninja on this programme. These are obstacles? Please, Mr Ninja eats Obstacle-Os for breakfast.

I watched tonight to get an idea of what was going to happen. I have to say, your time on the final challenge is bloody fast.

I enjoyed it! Like some people have said, the American commentary is alot funnier, and 1 hour is a tad too long, but was good Saturday night viewing all the same.

The mud seemed thicker tonight than on the US show. Guess the course has got old!

The 2nd episode starts at an earlier time tonight - 5.45PM. So just over 10 minutes from now.

Thanks for the links, will definately be watching these again :lol:

The commentary is ace, I especially love the lines/arrows to demonstrate their point. ("Where's the pole!? Where's the pole!")

What was your cringe-worthy, facepalming battle cry for the start of the first round? Some of them (no, most of them) have been so bad.

I said "This Total Wipeout glory is all mine - (and in a SAS-inspried voice from COD4) Let's do this!" :oops:

The first half was what a staff member said to me to say when I told him I couldn't think of anything to say...at least it's not as bad as what others have said.

It's not even one of the more embarrassing things I remember saying, I'm really hoping they keep what I said to a bare minimum. Total Wipeout should really stick closer to the original show, less Amanda Bryam, more ripping the piss outta people, get in a 2nd commentator (perhaps James May! or a Jimmy Carr + Sean Lock combo), and significantly less of the contestants speaking or doing battle cries. And fire the people doing the editing and filming and get the Top Gear staff to the job.

I'm just hoping they rip the piss out of one of the female contestants (see her website here: http://www.sarahdonohue.com/ - and remember the photos are heavily photoshopped, her face looks terrible in real life). She had a DNF on the qualifier after saying she could do a marathon without any additional training only to get a hamstring injury whilst running towards the slippery stairs. FAIL.
