A local ‘Wipeout’ woman

Joelle Magner, a media buyer with Medio Advertising in Spokane, will be a contestant Tuesday on ABC’s “Wipeout” a game show featuring an obstacle course.

Magner was talked into auditioning back in February by her husband and children. She flew down for an on-camera audition and was picked over thousands of other contestants. Her episode was taped on May 18.

She’s not allowed to say how she did, but she volunteered that it was “truly a cool experience,” of the kind that made her feel like she had “been run over by a train the next morning.”

“If someone enjoys swimming in the mud and getting knocked out over and over and over, this is the show for them!” she said.

Watch for her on Tuesday, 8 p.m. on ABC.
