4.4 - Winter Wipeout: Hockey Pucks & Bieber Fever
February 3
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...
- The Gingerbread House. It'll hit you in
the sweet spot.
- 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. This week, we liked it so much, we put a ring on it.
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 WIPEOUT ICE ARENA
It's our newest challenge, and each of
the three rounds will start with a wintry whirl around the Dizzy Dummy.
First up, players will have to dive off of the Slap Shot onto the
Penalty Box. Then it's onto the Crankshaft, the Knee Sweeper, and the
Spinning Platform onto the finish. Wipeout at the Crankshaft or the Knee
Sweeper, and you can start back there. And to make things worse...
Henson's out of the booth and onto the course to really "puck" with the
players' heads a little.

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, Mr. Postman Ty Langford. A
small miscalculation on the stairs lead to a huge drop and an even huger
swim. He makes it in two, but he's getting bitten by the Frostbite...
Third time's a charm. Time is ticking away, but he survives with a time
of 15:53.
Walter already has $1000 in the bank, and
he's looking to upgrade to a premium $50,000. His time at the Snowflakes
is really taking it out of him, but he makes with 25 seconds to spare.
His time: 15:28.
Walter likes how Andrew Deaver's time in
the Wipeout Zone is starting out. He gets whipped by the Stairway from
Hell... and he's had enough. He utters the Q word, and like that, WALTER
WALKER HOOKS US UP WITH $50,000 AND THE TITLE OF WIPEOUT CHAMPION!
Twenty-four more players try not to get chopped
and screwed by the courses next time. Until then, goodnight... and Big Balls.
