    Anyone ever seen this???? On late last night on Watch (109 on Sky)

    HILARIOUS!!!!! Grown adults doing this ridiculous obstacle course.

    I think there might be an English one as well???? Think it is exactly what RTE should do, in these recessionary times we need something to laugh at.

    Nope, this thing is different. It's based in Argentina and alot of different t.v. companies from around the world use the course to film their show.

    The American one if quite funny, purely for the contestants. One guy puked on the spinny thing on the episode that was on Saturday, first time I saw that happen.

    Is this the one with Hammond and Amanda Byram presenting?
    Fixed! ;)

    Glenda Gilson's eyebrows wouldn't fit in a 16:9 screen to be honest! :eek: ;)

    I saw it the other night on one of the UKTV channels and think it is a good way to waste an hour

    Love this show. The US version is far better than the UK one because I can't stand Richard Hammond.

    the new episodes are awesome and even harder! At least with the US ones you actually have to work hard to win the 50k

    Is it just me or are they hit harder on the American version?
