Where do i even start? I'm just going to break this down bit by bit
Casting: the hosts are bland and they don't work well together. Its just a hodge podge of celeb status in front of a teleprompter. The contestants are also bad. They feel like the annoying people that are the first to get booted out of any other game show, but its of the entire cast. The intro's to the cast are a great time to stand up and get a drink of water/ bathroom break.
Editing: its very rushed. Every wipeout has 3 different.camera angles real time, which takes the punch out of any slip or trip.every skit that involves editing also feels like a 6th grader with imovie was in charge. Even the minimalist yellow stick figures running through the courses is better
Obstacles: Yuck. The best part of the show is the obstacles, and it doesn't deliver. The regular wipeout color scheme is red, blue, and black, which makes the reboot's cyan, yellow, and magenta feel like a bollywood knockoff from first glance. The saturation of the entire show hurts your eyes, like the grass is wayyyyy too green. Lastly, the big red balls just seem cheap. Not to mention its always fun the see someone just covered in mud from the sucker-punch splat on them. You'll never see that here.
Episode layout: its alright. The only problem is that every episode is doubles episodes, and there's only 3 rounds instead of the usual 4.
Jokes: nonexistent. I mean, there is jokes, just that theyre not funny. 10 seconds in there is a "I'm john cena" joke, which never lands no matter who says it. The only joke that was somewhat funny was an adult joke, but it was meager.
All in all, there is not a single reason to watch it, especially compared to the original seasons, the hosts are better,the contestants are more memorable, the jokes and skits stick better,the interactions seem genuine, the obstacles are more interesting, so on and so forth. Heck, Nickelodeons' "Splatalot" is 1000x better than this dumpster heap..
