4.13 - Spring Wipeout: The Most Dramatic Rose Ceremony
EVER! There's an old Buddhist saying... "Winter never fails to turn into spring." We had the winter of our discontent for the last eight episodes... But today, here comes the sun! Get ready for SPRING WIPEOUT! THE QUALIFIER Tonight, the Qualifier consists of... - Spring Training... It's a zipline
toward a platform or two. Oh, did we mention a giant boxing glove at the
end? Because THAT's important. The 24 spring breakers will take on the course, and the 12 with the fastest times will advance to stage 2. ADVANCING TO ROUND 2 THE SCARE-OUSEL What's a spring fling without a carnival classic? Contestants will start on the red track, grab a red dangler, and make it to a red spot that leads to a yellow dangler and do the same thing with a yellow dangler. If they wipeout before the spot, they'll have to go back to the start, but the first six to avoid the sweeper arms and make it to the finish target move on to the next stage. ADVANCING TO ROUND 3 THE SUPERTRAMP Our final six are standing on launchpads waiting for a sweeper arm to come around. They have to jump over it to stay in the game. If they get knocked over or if they go under the bar, they're out. Last person standing in each round moves on to the Wipeout Zone. ADVANCING TO THE WIPEOUT ZONE THE SPRING WIPEOUT ZONE Back and with a spring fresh smell, it's the toughest of the courses, the Spring Wipeout Zone! Tonight's lineup... - The Chairborne: a rocket chair will
launch our players into the Zone. Fifty large goes to the quickest time. First up, the Ginger Ninjer Matt Corrigan launches at 35 MPH into the night sky. And then into the drink. He uses the wedge technique on the Over and Out and it works for him, but he backflips into the water on the slide of Point Break. Perfect timing second time out. Coin Toss flips him, and he sets a time to beat of 8:36. Meanwhile, Bill Carlson is down on the sidelines with his girlfriend. Bill is ready with the ring should he win the game. But in case he doesn't, he asks Jill if he can do it early. And he does... And ... IT'S GOOD! Our first Wipeout proposal. Now that he's already a winner, let's get back to business. It takes him seven minutes just to get to the center platform of Over and Out... and he has one minute to get past the other two obstacles... doesn't happen. At least he has the love of a good woman. But can Matt Franchina the Fashionista snipe the cash away? He's well ahead of Ginger Ninjer's time as he arrives to Point Break, but he is now fashionably late. It's going to be close at the Coin Toss. He looks like he's going to make it... BUT HE SLIPS AT THE FINISH PLATFORM! GIVE THE MONEY TO THE NINJA! This episode, already one for the books. That was literally the icewater. Come back for more of said ice water and more wipeouts. Until then, good night... and big balls.
