4.6 - Winter Wipeout: This Little Piggy Went to Wipeout
February 10
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 Holiday Hams... Over or under,
these hydraulic hogs will leave you glazed and confused.
- 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, Austin Brady. He tries to time
and balance his way across his second go-around on the Stairway from
Hell... But it takes three tries and four-and-a-half minutes. Frostbite
gets its first licks in. Second time... flossing. It takes four times on
the Sinister Snowflakes, but Austin has a time of 10:26.
Ryan Kroner came in the back of the herd,
but will he make it to the front? Nope. After one chomp at the Icy
Stairway bit, he's calling it quits.
Now it's all on Edward Monroy, whose
heart has to grow three sizes today in order to beat Austin's time. He's
four minutes in as he faces the Frostbite. And he got one foot on the
platform, so it's back to the Frostbite. He has three minutes to take on
the Sinister Snowflakes. But that last wipeout is his last wipeout.
AUSTIN BRADY GRADUATES FROM TOY BOY TO TOY MAN, GETTING A $50,000
ALL-TOY SHOPPING SPREE!
Twenty-four more players try not to get chopped
and screwed by the courses next time. Until then, goodnight... and Big Balls.
