Most Extreme Elimination Challenge

Anyone remember watching this on TV? I get a laugh out of it even after all these years. It really needs to come back on tv.

It's format has been robbed and watered down for the American version, called "Wipeout" on TruTv. It's okay, not great like MXC.

I loved "Floaters and Sinkers"!!

Wipeout can't hold a candle to great American voice overs of shows from other countries.

The British version was called Takishi's Castle and it went all the way through the Japanese version just with funny english voice overs, I remember watching it as a kid when I lived over there for a few years. To me all the others are just cheap knockoffs with crappy jokes.

Re: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge

It was only on from 2003 until 2008 I believe. Was the best thing on Spike TV ever. The original, like Wolvenhaven said was called Takishi's Castle. It was actually a big event where about 100 people tried to beat some buy in a castle in various events. The show has played all over the world in different countries. Thankfully, some of it is on YouTube.
