I'm a longtime fan of Wipeout, and I've watched it since the original season 1 in 2008. While I do feel the older Wipeout is more funnier in my opinion and the classic Johns were the better hosts, I felt Nicole Byer and John Cena are decent as hosts.
One legitimate complaint I do have is how they don't show the names of the individual contestants, rather showing the team names as a whole. As well as the fact that I think they should show a full list of people who competed in each episode (kinda like how American Ninja Warrior has ANWNation to bookkeep everyone who participated). Information and media was a lot more scarce then for the classic 2008-2014 seasons, so I wish they had that recorded somewhere online.
However, giving credit where credit is due, I still feel the obstacles and game show format is the same as ever. It still has some of that same charm as the older Wipeout seasons in terms of game show format (although there are some major changes that I'm kinda indifferent about, such as everyone being a duo and there only being three rounds total per episode).
I'm not sure how to feel overall, I guess I would say this is kinda a guilty pleasure for the most part. I can tell you guys however, that if you look at any other rating here, you'll see (and this is pretty common for IMDb) that there's a bunch of nostalgiafreaks panning this show. Honestly, don't trust any of the other nostalgiaturds' reviews. Don't take my review as a word of fact. If you like it or if you don't like it, that's perfectly fine. It's your call.
