From the smallest hamlet in the Maritimes to one-horse Prairie towns,
the Wipeout Canada competitors truly reflect a colourful cross-section
of Canadian culture. 260 hopefuls, including a lobster fisherman, a
dairy farm herd manager, and a House of Commons messenger, will take to
the famed Wipeout obstacle course for a shot at $50,000.

From the sheer amount (and quality) of Wipeout Canada entries
that poured in last month, we expected that the cross-country audition
events would reach circus-level spectacle and B-movie-level silliness.

The producers of Wipeout Canada are still recovering from the
sensory overload of their callback tour, which had them travelling
across the country to meet hundreds of shortlisted potential contestants
from a pool of 44,619 applicants. Wisely, they brought along some
members of the revered Canadian media to act as guest judges (and
scriveners). Here are some recollections from those lucky enough to take
part in the mayhem...
Posted by TVtropolis at 9:00 AM 07/02/2010
A huge thanks to everyone who took the time to fill out an entry form --
we couldn't be happier with how many of you turned out to show your
competitive spirit! Casting representatives will be in touch with select
applicants over the next month, so keep your phone in your lap at all
times.
