'Project Argentina' - Cubeamania - GRCADE HERO

This is seriously ambitious, but imagine what could happen.

There is a show that just started in the US called 'Wipeout', which is basically an even more crazy version of Takeshis Castle! The show sees every week 24 normal members of the public take on the worlds craziest obstacle course in the hope of winning $50,000 in cash. I've included a YouTube video for your perusal.

But why is this of interest to GR in general. Well, this is why. The show has just been bought up by the BBC and will be showing here by the end of the year. They are now looking for contestants to fly over to Argentina later in the year to take on the course, which changes every week, to win a similar amount of money.

I think as many GRCade folk should try to audition as possible, because lets face it, the potential for the best GRCade moment of all time is quite, quite high!

The application link is below!

I would apply, if only because I LOVE Argentine beef.

But it's alot of forms to fill out.

Is that a giant inflatable cock in the screen cap of that video?

If so, I'm in.

I love wipeout :lol: I've wasted so many hours on trains watching that on my laptop up and down the country.

I'd love people from GRcade to get on there... can't see it happening but i would love it

One of the best moments for me on wipeout is the only lady they've ever seen get across the big balls. Brilliant :lol: :lol:

You don't have to pay the website, its completely free to apply to this.

Normal members of the public compete against the most ridiculous obstacle course in the world for a cash prize. We're talking much crazier than Takeshis Castle even.
