Episode 4.3 - Winter Wipeout: Don't Fear the Beaver
January 20

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...

- Winter Wonderplanks... a perfect way to break the ice.
- 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.

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, Robert getting rocketed into the Zone. It takes him three times to get past the Icy Stairway from Hell, but then he gets a hard shot by the Frostbite. Very well done the second time out. Now to the Sinister Snowflake... And he does it in 10:28.58.

Next up, Eric Haley will have to be the rocket if he wants to take the catbird seat. He is the rocket beating him by so little, with a time of 9:38.

One more to glory, and it's Jacob Chrisman. Will he dance his way to 50 Gs? He has six minutes to complete the Sinister Snowflake... ONE TRY! 3:46 your time, and JACOB CHRISMAN WINS $51,000 ON WINTER WIPEOUT!

Twenty-four more players try not to get chopped and screwed by the courses next time. Until then, goodnight... and Big Balls.
