Forget the Olympics. How boring is it to watch another night of guys swimming laps in a pool? 7 year old Chinese girls falling off balance beams? You want real sports and competition? Then check out "Wipeout" and "Wanna Bet?" on Tuesday nights.
Wipeout is basically a bunch of events set up to hurt the contestents for our enjoyment. Pounding them with mechanical boxing gloves, causing them to vomit on a rotating platform, bouncing them into neck breaking contortions. THIS is what I want to see in the Olympics!
Then there's "Wanna Bet?" which had an athlete that blows Phelps out of the water. The 10 year old was blindfolded and then they randomly picked 5 vacum cleaners out of a group of 50. He correctly identified brand and model... by sound!
I'll never watch the Olympics ever again.

Huey, Dewey and Louie :) LOVE LOVE LOVE Wipeout. That is the highlight of their week. Their favorites are the sucker punch and the dizzy dummy!!

Wipeout if FREAKIN' HILARIOUS. I enjoy watching those hapless schlubs get pummeled by EVERY event. The commentary alone is worth watching. Jon Henson was great on Talk Soup. (I stopped watching it when he left, there was no point) and John Anderson is quickly becoming my favorite Sportscenter anchor (Replacing Kenny Mayne)
