Another $50,000, another 24 players...
another load of wipeouts.
THE WIPEOUT QUALIFIER
Tonight, the Qualifier consists of...
- The Smackwall Sweeper: one wall smacks,
two arms sweep.
- The Sucker Punch: one wall, multiple punching gloves, a world of hurt.
- The Big Balls: Launching Motivator is back in full force.
- The Organ Grinder: crazy pistons
- The Trouble Us: Two swinging Ws.
First up, Heather Durando is on deck,
slipping down the stairs... and getting knocked down by the Smackwall.
Twice. And then gets suckerpunched... and motivated... And loses her
pants. And gets played by the Organ Grinder. And XYZ'd by the Trouble Us
for a time of 11:02.
Krista Weismar is "the Toothless
Teacher", as she demonstrates by taking a tooth out. Yeowch. She becomes
the teethless teacher quickly. Tasha Rice is a fitness freak. Or she's a
freak who's into fitness. Montage! I demand a montage!
Next up is "The Dude"... Andreas Neumann
looks like the guy from "The Big Lebowski", but his teeth comes out. And
the Smackwall dost abide. Susan Lyons is a hairstylist who gets in
trouble... Us.
(C-Note: Jill says "Quesa-dill-a."
Expected from a State graduate).
Now that everyone's gotten lunch... or
not... Randy Wiggs, who's bald, stocks cans all night. He gets jarred by
the Smackwall and the Sucker Punch. Andrea Brache is a ballerina, but
can she translate the style and grace into the Smackwall? Short
answer... no. She goes into the Grinder... grounded. Sean Foster wants
to move (away from his kids). He's the "W"orld's Greatest Dad... and the
Trouble-Us ask him "W"ho's your daddy?" Caroline Lee swam from Alcatraz
four times... and goes for another swim today. But with a time of 4:11,
she's breaking into round 1.
Josh Parker is a Bigfoot hunter. His goal
in life: to prove that Bigfoot exists. Karalyn Sharamitaro wants to be
the smallest person to win Wipeout. She's the smallest on the course
today at all of 5'1". Shorty goes all the way across the Organ Grinder,
but gets troubled by the Trouble-Us. But with a time of 4:02, she can
afford the pain.
Back to Josh... Time of 4:20. He's
through.

THE OVERDRIVE
It's a giant steering wheel with sweepers
and windshield wipers. Contestants start on the green pad, maneuvering
through the sweepers onto the red pad, then landing on the red platform
via one of three obstacles. If they get knocked off, they go to the
start and try again. The first six will move on.
We have a premature start... and a real
start. Everyone rushes on... and gets knocked off. Caroline makes a
break for freedom... and is denied.
Bigfoot Hunter Josh is the first on the banana to
make it to the next stage. Second on the banana... and off, Andrea. Third is
Caroline... and she's the birdwoman of Alcatraz. Followed by the Dude... the
Dude Abides! Next up is Can Man Randy, Inchworm Karalyn, and ... the world's
greatest dad with the world's greatest bounce.
ADVANCING TO ROUND 3
Josh "Bigfoot Hunter" Parker
Andreas "The Dude" Neumann
Randy "Can Man" Wiggs
Caroline "Jailbreaker" Lee
Sean "World's Greatest Dad" Foster
Karalyn "Inchworm" Sharamitaro
But we have a substitution on the field
as Randy Wiggs removes himself from further play. We go to the
randomizer to see who gets his spot in the Third Stage... and it's...
Andrea Brache.
BRUISEBALL
Now, there are four bases. We start at
the Dizzy Dummy, then round to the Mound while avoiding the business end
of the bat. Next, down the Bouncing Baseline to second base. Turntables
to third, then a jump into the tank to go all the way. Two innings. Winners of each
inning go to the Wipeout Zone!
Ballet Brache is taking full advantage of
her second chance. But Inchworm is the first to second... and third...
and she's safe at home! Meanwhile, Sean is in a state of suspended dad-imation.
He snaps out of it to get to the Zone.
Second inning. Andrea is making a move to
second, but the bats beat her to the bag. Caroline... far luckier. She's
safe at third. 90 feet from celebrating... and she's going to the Zone.
Who'll follow her? It's the hunter... It's the Dude... it's the
dancer... It's.... the DUDE! The Dude abides!
ADVANCING TO THE WIPEOUT ZONE
Andreas "The Dude" Neumann
Sean "World's Greatest Dad" Foster
Karalyn "Inchworm" Sharamitaro
Caroline "Jailbreaker" Lee
THE WIPEOUT ZONE
Rebuilt from the ground up is the world's
most dangerous obstacle course... the Wipeout Zone! Tonight...
- The Catapult
- The Spin Cycle: A vertical foam filled drum that they'll have to
navigate to get to...
- The Triple Threat: Two big sweepers... then one small one... lather,
rinse, repeat.
- The Rib Rage: run as far as you can as fast as you can to get to ...
- The Gauntlet: spiked whackers and arms & dangerous separate one
person
from $50,000. Fastest wins.
First up is the Dude, Andreas Neumann. He's
hoping his chill demeanor gets him through the zone. Feet first, body forward.
Great entry. First jump out of the Spin Cycle... and he's all wet. Second... and
he pulls himself up! Then the five sweeper arms of the Triple Threat. As for the
Rib Rage, and Andreas has a heck of a swim. Mind games backfires on the Spiked
Whackers. The Dude clocks in at 13:10.
Next up, Caroline Lee, who escaped the Qualifier
with 4 minutes and hopes to rock it in the Wipeout Zone. Back first landing. Not
good. Caroline's one-and-done on the Spin Cycle and the Triple Threat. She tries
to finesse the Spiked Whackers... can't. She clocks in at ... 9:24!
Can Sean Foster beat that? He takes five minutes
at the Spin Cycle, and he's not even done yet. And he is absolutely winded...
And he's done after that last landing fails to stick.
So it's all on Karalyn Sharamitaro, who's been a
favorite to take the game after stellar performances on the Qualifier and on
Bruiseball. She sprints across the bottom of the Spin Cycle... and a huge shot
to her small frame. Going for a ride next.. and doesn't happen. Third time is
the charm. Two minutes to run the Rib Rage and the Gauntlet. She has 30 to take
on the Whackers and the Arms... and it doesn't happen. CAROLINE LEE SWIMS HER
WAY TO $50,000!
Back on Tuesdays only next week. Until
then, goodnight... and Big Balls.
