    Spotted this fine lady popping a bi during the preview of the upcoming season at the end of the first episode of Wipeout (ABC's new obstacle course show that is somewhat patterned after the Japanese show Takashi's Castle):

    She was only on-screen for a grand total of 17 seconds (out of a 42 minute episode). They mentioned her name (Alyssa Grube, a personal trainer and fitness expert), show her swing and miss one obstacle (she falls off the roap mid-swing), and that's it. The shot they show in the preview isn't in the episode.

    She was eliminated in the qualifying round, and they don't give a final time for her; obviously, her run was too slow and nothing interesting enough happened to feature it.

    Which, of course, has me cursing up a storm. Not interesting to some people, perhaps, but I could watch her run obstacle courses all day long 😉

    Note that I'm presuming that it's the same person from the first shot based on the similar body shape and that black thing she has on her wrist.

    Wups, my bad. She actually passed that first round (although I guess they didn't mention it when they said who passed). She was the 5th person to be eliminated in the sweeper round, where they stand on 10-foot poles and jump over a sweeping bar that tries to knock them off. Everybody knocked off 6th through 12th advances, the 1st through 6th who get knocked off were eliminated.

    Of course, they didn't play that interview video, that would have been during qualifications. And sadly there aren't really any good shots of her in the second challenege, other than maybe when they're getting set up by stepping into the sacks they are jumping around in (new to the second episode).

    Shows me for posting while watching.
