How to Be a Contestant on Wipeout

Check the rules for the show. To be eligible you must be over 18 years old. You must be a legal resident in the United States who currently resides in the state of California. Because the obstacles are done in water, you must be able to swim. They also want people with a fun, humorous personality.

Go to the ABC casting website (see Resources) for the show. Look for open calls in your area. If there are none available near you to attend, you will need to follow the next steps.

Go to the second resource page to apply. Click the link that says, “Click here to apply.” They will ask you to set up an account where you will give them your email address and make a password. Once you set up an account, sign in.

Send the casting team an email that includes: Your full name, age, contact phone numbers, the city of California that you live in, a recent picture and a summary of your life (in no more than 50 words). Get your information together, sell yourself and send it to the email address given (check resource page). This is for an interview.

Wait for email contact from casting team. When your application has been reviewed, the team will send you a link to confirm your interview with them (date and time). You will then need to print out a creative application (application is literally 10 pages long), fill it out, take it and a picture of yourself to the interview. Also take your driver's license.
