A little 'Wipeout' doesn't faze this staffer

It looks painful to us, but Hallie Nicholson, development writer in University Advancement, assures us that her recent stint as a contestant on 
Wipeout,
an ABC show that pits average folks against an extremely wacky, wet and wild obstacle course, was actually a heap of fun.

“It was a total blast.  It was far more physically demanding than I expected – who would think that falling off things and getting knocked down would be that hard?” Nicholson says.

Still,  
a sneak peek
of the upcoming show made us grateful to be on dry land. Nicholson’s performance airs in the show’s next episode, scheduled at 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 13 on ABC.
