Bellies vs. Six Packs "Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball in an even smaller hole, with weapons ill-designed for that purpose." -Winston Churchill The YouTube sensation of Human Tetris goes from the small screen to a slightly bigger screen as teams of three don silver spandex and try to fit themselves into polystyrene fissures moving at them at breakneck speed... or risk taking a dive into four feet of water behind them. It's time to face... the Hole in the Wall. The premise is simple... win or get wet. Tonight's matchup will feature three drive-time DJs against three fitness nuts in an opus we call... "BEER BELLIES vs. SIX PACKS"
The rules of this game are so simple, a child could follow it. Wall comes at you. Fit yourself through the hole, and if your still standing in the play area, you get points. If not... see that pool of water behind you? Yeah... you're going swimming. Team with the most points at the end of four rounds wins $25,000 and has a chance for $100,000 against the Blind Wall. Round 1: SOLO WALL Omar's first, and he has to kick through this wall. Instead, he gets smashed, and not in the good way. "Mom, I let you down." NOT CLEAR. Jake is next, and he faces a C. And... C is for CLEAR! One point! So the Six Packs lead, 1-0 after round 1. Round 2: DOUBLE WALL This wall is worth two points if both players make it. Aaron & Anu are first. They have a five-pronged hole to get through... and they don't. Anu tries to use the hole as his own chin-up bar and he even failed that. NOT CLEAR. Jonathan and David are next. They have to go through... the Can-Can. And they can't-can't, landing in the water and taking the wall with them. NOT CLEAR. Six-Packs still lead, 1-0. Round 3: TRIPLE WALL This wall will award three points if all three players make it through. The Six-Packs are first with... three incredibly slanty shapes... but no problems for the Six-Packs. CLEAR! The Beer Bellies are next with... just a small hole near the bottom... At the last second, they decide to just get on top of each other! CLEAR! "I was hoping I would never have to witness something like that. So it's still anyone's game as the Six-Packs lead, 4-3. Round 4: SPEED WALL It's a triple wall, but players will earn 2 for each person through. The catch: the wall is coming at double speed. BUT there is a bright side. If all three players make it through, it's an additional $5000. The Six-Packs are first with three not-so-parallel bars. Aaron and Anu get rocked, as Jake CLEARS for 2. The Beer Bellies need to clear two to win. They have the somersault wall... and they can't even clear one. NOT CLEAR. Six-Packs win, 6-3, as the Beer Bellies go off to drown their sorrows... oh, and they go drinking as well. Bonus Round: BLIND WALL Only one person has to make it through the wall, but they will be blindfolded and coached by their teammates. Jake will take one for the team. He's two-for-two and the smallest member of the team... But will Jake take the cake? The Blind Wall is... a squat. Jake squats right when he should've squatted left... NOT CLEAR! But the Six-Packs will split $25,000. Not bad. Next time, another preview episode, another two teams, and another set of vicious styrofoam. Scared yet? I know I am. |
