"Episode 109" -- "Wipeout" presents the first annual "Wipey Awards." In proper awards show fashion, John Henson and John Anderson celebrate the best of the best crazy contestants, memorable moments and spectacular wipeouts from the season so far. "Wipeys" will be given out in multiple categories -- such as the Dizziest Dummy, Best Big Balls Technique, Best Romance, Best Wipeout on a Non-Obstacle -- and will culminate in the biggest award, "Best Wipeout." Hosted by John Anderson (ESPN's "SportsCenter"), John Henson ("Talk Soup") and co-hosted by Jill Wagner, "Wipeout" airs TUESDAY, AUGUST 12 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

In addition to the awards, there will be never-before-seen footage, including hilarious outtakes and bloopers with our sideline reporter, Jill Wagner. So gather the family, grab a big pitcher of big balls and join us for a night of fun, falls and faceplants, when a chosen few will be presented the coveted Big Ball trophy.
