Surprisingly and to my liking, two of the three winners so far this season have been women even though both times only one woman made it into the final four. Most of the obstacles favor men over women, mainly because of height. The jumps, etc. favor a taller person. Of course one of the two women who won looked to be about 5' 9" or 5' 10" or maybe taller so that may have helped he a little. I am always cheering for the women.

I also like wipeout. Although I'm guilty of not paying attention to the winners. I just like watching them go through the obstacles. They're fun to watch. No I don't like it when people get hurt, it's just that people have hilarious ways of going through the obstacles.

I almost always root for the women too. It's partly because of what you pointed out, that the challenges favor men. And it isn't the men's fault that they are tyically stronger and taller. So I really enjoy it when a woman wins and takes home the 50 grand. I also pay attention to the people's careers. If a military man is going up against a car salesman for instance, I'll be rooting for the military man. No offense to the car salesman. lol

I love Wipeout. I was actually pleasantly surprised when the last woman won. I couldn't believe it and I'm sure the guys couldn't either. Great crazy show. :)
