Big Red Balls!

Hello people, here I am back again with my now getting to be a habit Friday posting. And to think at one time I used to post almost everyday. Gee, where did I find my inspiration back then to come up with posts everyday. I really must have had loads of rubbish to write about I guess ... LOL!

I actually have loads of things on my mind but can't really seem to be able to put them down to words. It's like I'm losing the ability to write. And that's a scary thought for a loud mouth like me! I never had problems coming up with posts before.

I could talk about anything and go on for hours and hours even earning the dubious honour of having a blog with the most long winded postings. I'm sure you guys know just how long winded my posts can be, ya. But not anymore. These days if I can get through three paragraphs, I'd be more than happy. I suppose having another three blogs doesn't really help either, Yes, yes, I'm one of those crazy people with more than one blog.

Anyways, on a different note altogether, have you guys heard of this game show called Wipeout? It's aired on Astro channel 701 at 9pm every Thursdays. The family and me have been watching it for quite a while now and we're really hooked on it. The boys even pleaded to be allowed to stay up an extra half hour just to catch it (they're normally sent to bed at 9.30pm on school nights).


Now, I'm not one who really enjoy these sort of game shows. Game shows don't really appeal to me that much. So when wifey first wanted to watch the show, I went,

'Awww honey, don't tell me you wanna watch this show?'

And watch it she did. I was instantly skeptical about it. It's a show where a bunch of everyday contestants try to navigate this series of obstacles that are set up on water and mud. And when I say ordinary contestants, I really mean ordinary unlike many of these kinds of game shows that pick contestants that look gorgeous, hunky and model like. The contestants here range from the really weird, insanely out of shape and down right annoying at times. Like I said, your normal everyday characters :D

And then when I discovered they had three, yes, three hosts, I was even more skeptical. Two host in the studio and one on site at the obstacle course. Now, why the heck they needed three hosts for I really don't know.

But I must say after watching if for 5 minutes, I was laughing my head off seeing the contestants stumble and make fools of themselves trying to navigate the obstacles. It's really hilarious I tell you. And I take back my criticism of them having three hosts. They add tons to the comedic actions of the contestants with their witty and often times sarcastic commentating.

But the best part of the show really boils down to the contestants. They're really hilarious and though they change the obstacles slightly each week, one obstacle that remains the same is the bouncing balls obstacle.

It's a segment of four huge red bouncy balls that the contestants need to ... urrrmmmm ... bounce over and it remains as my most favourite obstacle. Half the time I'm laughing my head off till my side hurts watching them bounce off the balls like some piece of rag doll ... LOL! So far, only 2 contestants have ever made it past this obstacle. I just love this show :D

So, if you're into game shows or even if you're not, I'd recommend this to you anytime. I'm sure you'll all get a kick out of those huge bouncing balls action just like me. If you haven't seen this show, then check out this video link (sorry, I don't like putting up actual videos on my blog) and you'll see what I mean about those huge red balls :D With that said and done, have a happy weekend y'all :D
