How To Be A Contestant On Wipeout 2021

Ever watched someone faceplant into the Sweeper on Wipeout and thought, "Hey, I could do that!"? Well, guess what? You absolutely CAN!

Seriously, becoming a contestant isn't some top-secret mission. It's more like a fun adventure with a whole lot of potential for epic fails (and equally epic victories!).

First Stop: The Application

This is where your personality gets to shine! Think of the application as your chance to become a superstar.

They want to know who you *really* are. Are you the quirky librarian who secretly dreams of conquering Mount Midoriyama? Or the pizza delivery guy with ninja-like reflexes? Let them know!

Video is Your Friend

A video is like a golden ticket. Don't just tell them you're funny; show them!

Imagine you're describing your intense training regimen. You dramatically lift a bag of potato chips, grunting under the "weight," then "accidentally" spill them all over yourself. Boom! Comedy gold.

Just keep it short, sweet, and utterly *you*.

Be A Character (Without Being a Cartoon)

Think about some of the most memorable Wipeout contestants. What made them stand out?

Maybe they were a wacky duo dressed as chickens, or a competitive grandma determined to prove age is just a number. Find your angle!

Embrace your quirks and let them shine! But remember to be authentic.

The Interview: Sell Yourself!

If you're lucky enough to get an interview, congratulations! This is your chance to really seal the deal. Show them why you *belong* on that course.

Prepare a few funny anecdotes about yourself, your life, your family. Talk about how you would face your fear if you were to encounter the Sucker Punch.

Be enthusiastic! No one wants a Debbie Downer bouncing off the Big Balls.

Show 'Em You're Ready to Wipeout

Let them know you're not afraid to fall. Wipeout is all about taking risks, pushing your limits, and laughing at yourself along the way.

Say something like, "I'm ready to embrace the mud, the sweat, and the utter humiliation! Because at the end of the day, it's all about having fun!"

They want someone who's a good sport, win or lose. Even if they don't mention the Dreadmill, show your determination to fight it off.

Practice (Sort Of)

While you can't exactly replicate the Wipeout course in your backyard (unless you're secretly building one!), you can prepare your body.

Work on your balance, agility, and upper body strength. Start by doing a daily yoga or balancing exercises. These can help you keep balance if you encounter obstacles.

And hey, even a few practice runs dodging rogue sprinklers in the park could help your reflexes!
