I love the dive at the end.

Amazing, amazing! :lol:

I've never egged anyone on at the TV like that before and been in hysterics at the same time. You were awesome!

It was a brilliant performance. Put anything I've done to shame for sure. And you can warm yourself with the fact that everyone and his cat wants to be on this show now, and it will now be INCREDIBLY hard to get on for anyone. Youv'e been there, done that - worn the tee-shirt!

8-)

Yeah, I presume we're all applying for Season Two. :lol:

Its an enjoyable audition, worth doing even if you only get to do that. They get you to do a few games and take on a small assault course in front of everyone!

I would be applying but im only 17 in April and you need to be 18 :fp:

That was why I didn't apply last time, I was going to be 18 around the time they were doing the auditions but I couldn't be sure so I didn't bother.

Only just got round to watching this on iplayer. Great effort David, really amazing scenes. :lol:

It was. Even though I knew you made it round in a fast time, I was sure you'd somehow go in. Just an insane reaction to save yourself.

But the production team strawberry floated you over royally. The Donkey Kong barrels are released by two men behind the waterfall and only release them until you get 4/5ths or so up the ramp and then stop. They didn't do this for you. Your last barrel was released when you had passed the imaginary 'line' that stops barrel releases. As such you couldn't jump the barrel because there was nowhere to jump to. Your time lost here, conservatively two seconds, was critical in the end.

I thought that. First time I've ever seen one come in so late. We should start an online petition to get the result reversed. :lol:

Amazing, cubey, amazing. :lol:

Some amazing person has uploaded the complete episode to Youtube!

That's pretty awesome, if he didn't have to climb a ladder for going in the water he's moved across the balls much faster than the few folks who've made it across.

And it looks hilarious :lol:

Awesome, will have to watch this later...

Looks like Grumpy David might get an award. They have to give him something surely.

BBC to air 'Total Wipeout Awards'

BBC
The BBC is to air The Total Wipeout Awards next month, it has been announced.

The ceremony will capture all the highs and lows of series one and celebrate key moments in the show.

The hour-long programme - presented by Richard Hammond - will honour courageous contestants in categories such as 'Best Sucker Punched Award', 'Best Big Balls Award' and 'The Best Wipeout Award'.

It was recently announced that Total Wipeout has been recommissioned for two new series.

The Total Wipeout Awards will air on Saturday, April 4 on BBC One.

I was wondering if they would do an awards special...I reckon I'd be nominated for some sorta award relating to the big balls and possibly something to do with almost falling of the platform that you jump onto after the spinner.

Kierron to win the "should've won, but didn't" type award.

Best Recovery, surely?

If not, you're a shoo-in for Most Grumpy Contestant. :lol:

I never caught the episode in question, I only saw the last one, but I've already applied. Now to start training... :shifty:

Oh definately, that recovery was immense, any other contestant would nose dive in the water, but not David, he almost did the splits!

Corazon, maybe you should buy 4 space hoppers and try to bounce along them as training?
