ABC has renewed reality series Wipeout for a sixth season when the show will mark its 100th episode. The network didn’t specify whether the obstacle course show will air again in the summer. Jill Wagner will return as co-host after Vanessa Minnillo replaced her in Season 5. Hosting are John Anderson (ESPN’s SportsCenter) and John Henson (E!’s Talk Soup), with Wagner co-hosting.
The ever popular Big Balls will be back, along with new obstacles and completely redesigned Wipeout Zones. While not as strong in the ratings as it was early in its run, Wipeout is still one of the few broadcast shows that put on some numbers during the summer. ABC boasts that it is the 2011-12 season’s No. 1 show overall for Family Co-Viewing on the major networks (Adults 18-49 watching with Teens and Kids). Wipeout executive producers are creator Matt Kunitz and Scott Larsen. Endemol USA is producing.

It wasn’t the same without out Jill Wagner.
Thank God Jill is back on the show!!!
Hooray! It wasn’t the same without Jill!
The show sucks, but worth watching fo the SOLE reason of Jill Wagner-dayum, babe is fine as wine!
Yeah for Jill coming back!
Definitely not the same without her, good for wipeout for putting her back on the show!
JILL IS BACK! YES!
This is one of the very very few shows that all the family like. Please keep making it; we enjoy it so much. If I didn’t live in the UK and I wasn’t disabled with mobility problems I’d go on the show like a shot if I could. Keep up the very good work.
A little more Jill, a lot less commentary from the Johns and we’ll almost have original Wipeout! Yaaay!
Those animations on the course can go too….
BEST news in this release is Jill Wagner is coming back!!! Hip, hip hooray!!!
I’ve really missed Jill. This is great news!
I agree Jasie and Michael, Vanessa was good, but it will be great to have Jill back!
Vanessa was sweet, but I will enjoy the show even more with Jill returning! It just wasn’t the same without her.
My family and I love this show and Jill! Is Vanessa on maternity leave or what?
YIPEE!! Jill has been missed!!!
Sooooooo glad to have Jill back!!! She was the icing on the cake to a funny and entertaining show!
So glad Jill is back!! Fav family show!
I guess Jill’s acting career didn’t work out… (That is why she left)
“Finally, Jill has come back to ……..wipeeeeoutttttttt” Now I can start watching again!
Yyyyeeeessss!!! Jill is finally back! Missed that girl…TiVo is set!
Looks like Jill’s acting career didn’t go anywhere.
She probably wasn’t expecting here Teen Wolf character to die so quickly in the first season.
YES! Jill’s coming back!
WOO HOO! I am super glad Jill’s back! it hasn’t been the same without her there … Vanessa was lame …
True that. Double true. Ha.
