4.2 - Winter Wipeout: The Musical
January 13
America's favorite obstacle course has just been
winterized, and 'tis the season to be freezin'. On our course today, ice slicked
spills, frosbitten falls, and bone-chilling tumbles
THE WINTER WONDERLAND QUALIFIER
Tonight, the Qualifier consists of...
- Mogul Madness... It's like hitting the
slopes, only the slopes hit back.
- 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 sliding 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.
ADVANCING TO THE WIPEOUT ZONE
Tiffany "Broadway Babe" Saenz
Jason "Six Toe" Ondo
Erick "Master Bowler" Granados
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 toothy 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 Tiffany Saenz. She takes FOUR
times to get past the stairway. Only takes ONE time on the Frostbite.
But the Sinister Snowflake gets the best of her. She ends up clock in a
time of 19:13.
Erick Granados will have to bowl a turkey
if he wants to beat that time. His time is... gobbled up by the Sinister
Snowflakes, as he TIMES OUT.
One last player to take on the Zone, and it's Six
Toe Ondo. Jason's going into this with ZERO advantage, because
as you know, no one sees the Zone until they run the Zone. He has a whopping 14
minutes to take on the Sinister Snowflakes. He only needs three. The final time:
7:48, and JASON ONDO IS YOUR NEW WINTER WIPEOUT CHAMPION! ENJOY THE 50 G's!
Twenty-four more players try not to get chopped
and screwed by the courses next time. Until then, goodnight... and Big Balls.
