Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Thursday, August 18, 2011

Wipeout | 8pm on ABC
“Contestants Are Dropping Like Flies”
What’s the last thing that went through the bug’s mind before it hit the windshield? A “Wipeout” contestant! 24 contestants find out what it’s like to be on the smacking end of a fly swatter — complete with bug goop — before taking the three wheels on Driver’s Ed and diving into the Double Barrel featuring Ballsy’s Underwater Aquatic Adventure. Beware the evil sea sponges! The field is narrowed to 6 on Total Carnage, and slimmed down once more on the Wipeout Playset, with only three players walking to the top of the Flume of Doom trying to secure the best time and take away the $50,000 prize in the Wipeout Zone.
