ABC officially renews Wipeout	Greys Anatomy	Login to vote
ABC's "Wipeout" has caught a second-season wave. Pickup is no surprise: The bruising obstacle course competish reps one of the summer's few bright spots among new reality shows. Alphabet web execs have been keen on setting up "Wipeout" as a summer franchise, much in the same vein as CBS' "Big Brother," Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance" and NBC's "America's Got Talent." "People have embraced it," ABC Entertainment prexy Steve McPherson said earlier this summer. "It's escapism. Certainly in a time with a lot of bad news out there, I think people are having fun with it. I've never had a show that more people in the business want to participate in, wanting to go out to the set and try to do it." After its first six airings, "Wipeout" has averaged a 3.8 rating and 12 share among adults 18-49 and 10.2 million viewers overall. Endemol USA is behind "Wipeout," which centers on 24 contestants as they make their way through four rounds of a grueling obstacle course. The eventual winner is crowned "Wipeout Champion" and awarded $50,000. Matt Kunitz exec produces "Wipeout," which is hosted by John Henson and John Anderson. Jill Wagner serves as co-host.
