Episode 4.8 - Winter Wipeout: Family Night, Kids Eat It For Free
February 24

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 Snowblower... above, a few well-placed cranks. Below... mud. Between, a trampoline.
- 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 12 pairs will take on the course, and the six with the fastest times will advance to stage 2.

ADVANCING TO ROUND 2
"Ding & Dong" Dennis & John Ross
"Salt & Pepper" Don Kemper & Tatiana Kelly
Amy Batten & Angela Medure
Twin roomies Gary & Larry Lane
Bruce & Sally Aster
Britney & John Pulsifer

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 three teams 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, the wonder twins Gary & Larry. Remember, team rules apply. It's fastest combined time and where one clock stops, the other will start. Because of this they punch in a time of 16:29.

.... That's important, because Bruce, going for the Asters first, clocks in way too long at the Frostbite, giving us a time of 15:49. That means that Sally will have 40 seconds to complete the entire course! Needless to say, that doesn't happen. WONDER TWIN POWERS, ACTIVATE TO THE TUNE OF $50,000! GARY & LARRY LANE ARE YOUR WIPEOUT CHAMPIONS!

That'll do it for the Winter Wipeout season, but stay tuned, because in a few weeks, we're getting ready for the spring! Until then, goodnight... and Big Balls.
