In his chat with Reality Blurred, Dening explained why this year’s obstacle course almost guarantees that contestants will suffer a spectacular fall at one point or another. “The simple answer, of course, is that it’s amazingly fun to watch people bounce off things into water,” he admitted.
“All of the research and feedback from Season 1 indicated that people wanted more wipeouts,” the exec noted, “so we absolutely enhanced the amount of thrills and spills for Season 2.”
But Dening also wanted to make sure that the competition didn’t turn into a reboot of ABC’s Wipeout. “Even though there’s a chance to be knocked in the water or spun out of control or face some sort of obstacle on the hole, there still needs to be an element of skill on the golfing in order to win,” he said.
“It’s almost like baking a cake with children,” he revealed. “You’re making this wonderful thing, and at the heart of it, there’s this beautiful, tasty cake that’s delicious. But on the outside, we’ve got sprinkles and chocolate chips… We give our producers the opportunity to make things fun, tasty, and as ridiculous as they possibly can.”
