Episode 2.5
June 17
Another 24 brave souls... 23 of them are
about to have their hearts, souls, and whatever else broken. The other
one will win $50,000. It's time to Wipeout!
First as always is the Qualifier.
We're starting with the Breakaway Boards.
Some solid. Others... Not so much. Then we have the world-famous Big
Balls with the less-famous-but-still-famous-nonetheless Motivator.
Please hurry your butt up unless you want to feel its wrath. Then comes
the Log Roll, and this week, it's equipped with Rolling Stones and even
smaller Blue Balls. Then we wrap it up with the Fender Benders, which
will have your fenders bent. Fastest 12 times will move on to stage 2.
First is Vonti McRae with her halo and
her cell phone in her bra. She's about to find out which boards break
away... and her cell phone is probably toast right now. She hesitates on
the Big Balls... and you know what happens next. I'm motivated just
watching. And she's done. One down, 23 to go.
Next is Megan Weidelman, who played
Winnie-the-Pooh in a school play... and oh poo, she lands in the mud.
Twice. But she makes it past the... oh, bother. She finishes with 4:02.
Next up, Scott Howell, who was brought on
this show by his wife... sadistic little wench. Party girl Caroline
Erickson wants to get sauced and get more tattoos with her winnings. And
she gets bent by the Benders. Wouldn't be the first time. She gets
2:39... and pukes. Next up, Karen Pietsch gets creamed by the Big Balls
and the Blue Balls. Kristen Babiracki gets rocked by the Rolling Stones.
Mat Devlahovich works produce, and today's special... mud and lots of
it. Clean up on aisle 4!
Carol Davis is a 50-year-old grandmother
who calls herself Supergrandma. And she gets supermuddy on the Breakaway
Boards. And the Big Balls.
Half 2 begins with Kevin
Thangchaipinyokul.. that's Thang-chai-pin-yo-cool. He wants to date
Jill. Doesn't everyone. He'll have to get past the Big Balls first. And
the Little ones. And the Fender Benders. Time: 4:34. Not impressed.
Dennis Sanchez uses muscles he didn't
even know existed... and he's sprained himself. Next doctor... Nicolas
Wieder... who speaks his own damn language. And I don't know what he's
saying on the Big Balls, but it's probably not suited for broadcast. And
before we can find out more about Robert Coslava... Jill is terrorized
by a bee. Again. Robert's a sheriff's deputy... and he does the TJ
Hooker recovery to go across clean. Jazz professor Jason Goldman gets
interrupted by Jill's bee. Again. Catherine Jansen says she's bringing
her guns to the party. But she shoots blanks at the Fender Benders to
come in at under 3 minutes.
Finally, Forrest Vanderbilt runs...
Perfect on the planks... Big Balls... almost. Log Roll... owned. Fender
Bender... owned. 1:06 is a new record.

First up is Mat. And down goes Mat. Boot
Camp gets booted... And Karen Pietsch gets cobblered. Scott mans up and
gets on the mountain. Produce Man Mat and Sheriff Robert go next, but
Robert gets on the mountain. Forrest takes his time and gets on the
mountain. Scott is fourth. CJ Guns shoots her mouth off and tries to be

Next up, let's get Dizzy, dummy.
But first, Jason got Blue Balls at the last second, so replacing him...
CJ "Guns" Jansen, played at random.
Stage 3 today is Dizzy... Dummy.
Once the players are all dizzied up, they
go to the Spinner, where they'll have to go through a bungee web. Then
comes the Teeter-Totters OR the Crazy Beams. Even heats get crazy, odd
heads gets teetered. The winners of each heat go on to the Wipeout Zone.
And we go into Heat 1 with CJ Guns going
through the web. Caroline and her friends get teetered on the totter and
everyone swims back. Forrest and the Sheriff are on, but officer down!
Forrest... is ON! He moves on to the Zone.
Next heat is the Crazy Beams. The sheriff
tries to withhold evidence... and apparently is successful. Mat and CJ
are on the beams... but Caroline is on the move. Mat, though beats her
to get spot #2.
Back to the Teeter-Totters. CJ moves to
the first Teeter-Totter. Sheriff's on as well.. but he misses the
platform. CJ... also misses the platform. Caroline... ALSO misses the
platform. CJ's guns can't hold on. Sheriff Robert is through to the
Zone.
Finally, back to the Beams. But first,
Party Girl is taking the Walk of Shame, but she's first to the beams.
All three players are waterlogged, but CJ is back in the hunt. Caroline
has one last jump... and she nails it for the final spot in the Wipeout
Zone.
ADVANCING TO THE WIPEOUT ZONE
Party girl Caroline Erickson
Sheriff Robert Caslava
Mat "Produce Man" Devlahovich
"Run Forrest Run!" Vanderbilt
Now it's the moment you've been waiting
for... the WIPEOUT ZONE!
First up, control your launch into the
Wipeout Zone. Then control yourself on the Raging Rapids. Then control
your footing against the Crazy Sweeper, and finally, the Turntables,
controlled by waterfalls this time round.
Fastest time wins $50,000. But you knew
that.
First up is Robert "the Sheriff" Caslava.
Robert is going in the tube in the Aqua Launch. Good distance to the
Raging Rapid, but he has no chance against the tidal wave. One thousand
gallons of hydrotherapy. That tires him out. It shows in the Crazy
Sweeper. He's the oldest contestant in the Wipeout Zone today. He was
one stride short of the turntables, so he gets to swim again. And it's
third time lucky. At the Turntables.. he gets slapped. He finishes the
course in a time of 12:29.54.
Next up, Party Girl Caroline Erickson.
She feels fierce. Her strategy: go. She too goes tubing. Not a good
launch. She gets flushed by the tidal wave. She then gets socked by the
Crazy Sweeper. She gets it second time around and beats the Turntables
to clock in at 8:07.95.
Next into the Wipeout Zone is Mat the
Produce Guy. Can he produce a good time? He decides to go bareback on
the Aqua Launch. Excellent entry. He shows the Raging Rapid who's boss.
But the Sweeper Arms get the best of him. Twice. Now it's just Mat and
the Sweeper Arm for bragging rights... Sweeper arm wins.
There is a 12% chance of completing the
Wipeout courses. Forrest beat the odds and had a flawless run up to this
point. Last up is him and the tube. He's been on his game all day. Can
he continue? A couple of missteps on the Crazy Sweeper... but he's on
pace to beat Caroline. He has four minutes to beat her on the
Turntables... Forrest is focused.. He... is on. Still has to get to his
feet? 5:48 is the final time! Forrest Vanderbilt wins $50,000!
Next week, more crazy contestants, more
obstacles... and more wipeouts. Until then... Good Night... and Big
Balls.
