4.20 - Wheel of Misfortune
July 7
You've frozen through the winter...
You've sneezes through the spring... Now it's batter up for some Big
Ball action! Welcome to the summer of WIPEOUT!
THE QUALIFIER
Tonight, the Qualifier consists of...
- The Wheel of Misfortune... It'll run
you bankrupt.
- The Big Balls... now with Big Ball Motivator
- The Jiggle-Lator... Two bridges and one chasm of death.
- The Double Barrel... a double wheel consisting of a red side and a
blue side.
We start, as always, with 24. We end, as always, with the 12 best times.

TOTAL CARNAGE
The 12 remaining players will start on an
pedestal 10
feet above the water and do their damnedest to avoid three orbiting
rings and a multidimensional crankshaft sweeper arm. They'll have to
dodge both in order to get to the finish line. First six will win a trip
to the next stage.

THE WIPEOUT PLAYSET
It's a giant toy! How to work it? Swing
onto the spinning platform via the Swing Set, then move past the Sweeper
Stops, then slide down Chutes & Splatters to the finish while avoiding
the windmill. We'll play three rounds, and the winners move on to the
Wipeout Zone.
ADVANCING TO THE WIPEOUT ZONE
- "Jazz Hands" Chaz Hume
- Andrew "Competitive Dad" Leon
- "Tappin' Tony" Lee
THE WIPEOUT ZONE
It's the moment you've been waiting for.
Only one thing stands between our players and $50,000... A BRAND NEW
WIPEOUT ZONE!
- The Towering Flume of Doom
- The Iron Mazen
- The Axle of Evil
- The Great Wall of Fall
There's a check in the amount of $50,000
American cash money waiting for the person with the fastest time.
First is Chaz Hands, Chaz Hume. He slips
past the exit, but he's one and done on the Iron Mazen. A little sloppy
on the Axle of Evil... and wipes out twice. He ends up with a time of
nine minutes dead.
Next up... Andrew Leon, who is going up
against two high schoolers. Will he get schooled, or will he show the
kids what's what? Andrew is down to one more shot on the Wall of Fall...
and he beats it for a time of 8:40.
That's the time Tony Lee has to beat.
Tony... makes it to the platform, but falls out. Tony needs to make it
through clean second time out... and he does. We've got a race. He
sticks the landing at the Axle of Evil! He has four minutes to clear the
Great Wall of Fall... The final time: 5:34, AND TAPPIN' TONY LEE CRUSHES
FOR $50,000 AND THE TITLE OF WIPEOUT CHAMPION!
More obstacles and more wipeouts next
time. Good night... and Big Balls.
