| Host: Dustin Dumovich Announcer: Jim Williams Gametime: Weekly, between 7-9 p.m. (ET) Gameplay: Tried and true revival of a cult classic late 80s game show hosted by Peter Tomarken. In round 1, 3 players compete against a board of 16 answers. 11 are right and 5 are wipeouts. The 11 right answers all relate to the round's theme (i.e. "11 of these answers are Republican Vice Presidents"). $200 is awarded for each correct answer and hitting a wipeout drops your score to $0. If you find the Hot Spot and keep it without hitting a Wipeout, you'll win $5000 in bonus money The two players with the most money, play the Bid for the Grid Challenge Round. A question is asked in relation to a board with 12 answers (8 right and 4 wipeouts). The two remaining players big to see how many answers they can correctly get without hitting a wipeout. The person challenged must give the number of answers they bid correctly without hitting a wipeout, otherwise, if their opponent gets a chance and nabs one correct answer they win the round. The Challenge Round is a best of 3 format, so the first person to win 2 Challenge Rounds plays the Bonus Round. In the bonus game, you must correctly pick out the 6 correct answers to a question from a board of 12 answers. The contestant gets 6 chances to get all 6 answers, and if all 6 answers are obtained, the player wins the grand prize. Grand Prize Jackpot: 1 time champion - $10,000 2 time champion - $25,000 3 time champion - $50,000 4 time champion - $100,000 Interesting notes in YIM Wipeout: Out of the blue, host Dustin Dumovich decided to create Net Wipeout after working on a Commodore 64 page dedicated to many game shows including Wipeout. The music for Net Wipeout is actually stock music...don't recall it being heard on TV ever. |
