What does it take to convince twenty four hopeful contestants to risk life and limb to compete for a prize of $50,000? This reality show is fast paced and looks to be extremely painful for some who slip, get knocked down, or otherwise bruised and mangled while running through the obstacles presented on Wipeout each week. As the competitions numbers are whittled down we find just how far some will go to win 50K. The games begin with twenty four and cut that number in half by competing against each other and the clock that stops for no man. The Qualifier Round, which has four obstacles to win over, will cull the slower and less lucky while the second round pares the numbers down to six. Then those who remain must face the final round and that changes each season with each being more challenging than the season before. Traversing some obstacles are easier than others but may require quicker times. Some may even be skipped entirely but that contestant will lose a certain amount of time. Taped in Canyon Country in Santa Clarita, California at the Sable Ranch, which is forty miles north of Los Angeles, hosts Jill Wagner, John Anderson, and John Henson keep the competition running as smoothly as possible.

With coaches rather than judges the theme is directed toward mentoring and giving advice from well known and highly respected people in the music world. Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton, and Adam Levine will "coach" their contestants through the various processes involved. There will first be a blind audition in which only the contestant's voice is revealed to their coach/judge, next a "battle" phase in which the contestants (performing as teams) compete against one another as they sing the same song, and then they will be asked to perform their song on live television. It is in this final phase that the TV audience will participate and give their opinion as to which act is best. Competition is heald in eight US cities including, Nashville, New York, Miami, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, Austin, and Minneapolis in addition to online auditions for a wide and varied selection of talented singers. When the teams are down to one member for each of the coaches they will compete in the finale and $100,000 prize. The Voice is an intriguing new concept in reality programming.

Finally Kathy Griffin got her own talk show at Bravo. Why? Because she has been banned from most TV shows for her salty language and poking fun using over-the-top humor at celebs and other rich and famous people. So if you are looking for TV show to laugh at topics like spontaneous violence, drunken celebs and drug addicted stars, KATHY is the right choice for you. For all the fans of Kathy Griffin's "signature" jokes and videos where Kathy appearing in bikini (marketers are saying hello to significant share of male audience), we have to say: she acts very funny and natural, except the moments when she tries to interact with her panel (it's surprisingly boring).

And, from that point of view, she is super successful: as the comedienne she raises the reality talk shows to a new level of reality.
