THE SCARE-OUSEL
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 double dangler. If
they wipeout before the spot, they'll have to go back to the start, but
the first three teams to avoid the sweeper arms and make it to the
finish target move on to the next stage.

THE SUPER SACK
Wearing potato sacks, the players will
have to jump over a sweeper that will rise higher and higher with every pass. This is a sweepers round, where
contestants will try to avoid being knocked out for three rounds. Last
one standing at the end of each will head to the Wipeout Zone.
ADVANCING TO THE WIPEOUT ZONE
- Joel "The Landshark" Jordan
- Pumkin farmer April Groefsma
- Jermaine "No Relation" Jackson
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 Chairborne
- The Over and Out
- The Point Break
- The Coin Toss
There's a check in the amount of $50,000
American cash money waiting for the person with the fastest time.
Joel Jordan is first. He tries the wedge
move... but gets more surf and less turf. He makes it past the Over and
Out... and it only takes 12 minutes. He's feeling the earlier wipeout...
and lands the Point Break first out! He finishes the Coin Toss with a
time of 13:38.
Next up to challenge... Motown, Jermaine
Jackson. High knees to start the Over and Out... and he hits his
shoulder HARD. That'll take him out of the competition.
That leaves April Groefsma. Excellent
distance on the Chairborne. Two times it takes her to clear the Over and
Out. She's ahead of the pace in Point Break. Takes her two times to get
to the Coin Toss. She has three minutes to finish... but she wipes out
on the third coin. This may be her last shot... APRIL GROEFSMA NAILS IT
TO WIN THE $50,000 WITH A TIME OF 13:03!
More obstacles and more wipeouts next
time. Good night... and Big Balls.
