4.1 - Over the Big Balls to Nana's House We Go
January 6
America's favorite obstacle course has just been
winterized, and 'tis the season to be freezin'. On our course today, enough cold
play to give you a rush of blood to the head.
THE WINTER WONDERLAND QUALIFIER
Tonight, the Qualifier consists of...
- Nana's House... Full of sweepers and
surprises.
- The Big Balls... Now with a new Snow-tivator conveyor belt
- The Snowplow Sweepers... Four arms and 12 pedestals
- The Yule Log Jam... Two teeter totters and one sweeper separating
them.
The 24 will take on the course, and the
12 with the fastest times will advance to stage 2.

THE SKI LIFT
Contestants will start above elevated
platforms ten feet above icy cold water. As they go around and around,
they have to get over sweeper arms that will be ascending higher and
higher as the time progresses. The six people who last the longest will
advance, but the last person to hang on will receive $1000.

THE 7-LETTER WORD
Starting at the W, the contestants will
have to avoid two sweeper arms on the W and the I, a P puddle, a
bouncing E plank, a spinning O, the U hurdles, and the T finish. If they
wipeout before the P, E, and U, you swim back to the end of the last
checkpoint. We're playing three heats, and the winners go on to the
Wipeout Zone. That's right, three instead of four.
And you can't have a car wash without
disgruntled car washers throwing sponge.
Coach Ewing gets taken out, but not
before grabbing the Brass Ring for $1000!
ADVANCING TO THE WIPEOUT ZONE

THE WINTER WIPEOUT ZONE
Boldly and coldly going forward where no
player has gone before... the Winter Wipeout Zone! Tonight...
- The Bobsled Blastoff
- The Icy Stairway From Hell: a half-dozen of hydraulic blocks.
- The Frostbite: three sweepers as you make your way from one side to
the others
- The Sinister Snowflake: no two wipeouts are the same in this gauntlet.
Fifty large goes to the quickest time.
First up is the Fruitcake, Matt Christopherson.
He slips on the Stairway once... Second time is the charm. He logs in a
time of 11:33.
Will Carolyn Soto take a bite out of that time,
or will the Frostbite take a bite out of her? Her time... 6:50! She takes the
lead!
One last player to take on the Zone, and it's the
tour guide. Kelsey Schulte's going into this tour with ZERO advantage, because
as you know, no one sees the Zone until they run the Zone. She has three minutes
to take on the Sinister Snowflakes. And she only need one. 3:46 is the winning
time, and KELSEY SCHULTE IS YOUR FIRST EVER WINTER WIPEOUT CHAMPION!
Twenty-four more players try not to get chopped
and screwed by the courses next time. Until then, goodnight... and Big Balls.
