4.7 - Winter Wipeout: Some People Just Don't Know When
to Quit
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 Snowman Surprise... it'll give you
its own cold shoulder.
- The Big Balls... Now with a new Snow-tivator conveyor belt
- The Polar Bear Express... More bears on the Snowplow Sweepers... More
beared pain.
- 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.

MOUNT WIPEOUT CHALET
It looks a lot like the Ice Arena, but
it's slightly less... hockeyish. Is 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 Springboards onto a
rotating platform and a bouncing 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 here to help out the wipeouts
are a couple of snow bunnies.

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, Anthony Traficant, who spends a
lot of time trying to get up the Icy Stairway from Hell and the Sinister
Snowflake. He clocks in a time of 7:59.
If you recall, Asure was a pro soccer
player for three days (you read that right) before quitting. That career
has come back to haunt her, because she dislocates the same knee that
got her sidelined in the first place...
... meaning that it's all up to Dustin
Brower. If he wants the big win, he's going to have to hustle to beat a
time of 7:59. His final time... is a time out. WHO'S YOUR DADDY, ANTHONY
TRAFICANT! YOU JUST TOOK THE WILDEST RIDE ON TV FOR $50,000!
Twenty-four more players try not to get chopped
and screwed by the courses next time. Until then, goodnight... and Big Balls.
