5.1 - A Sight for Sore Ice The weather outside is frightful, but the Big Balls are delightful. Welcome to a brand new season of "Winter Wipeout!" It starts with 24 wind-chilled warriors, and it'll end with one of them winning $50,000 and the title of Winter Wipeout Champion. Giddyap Giddyap Giddyap LET'S GO! THE WINTER WIPEOUT QUALIFIER Tonight, the Qualifier consists of... - Snow Shovel Trouble. Two X-sweepers
that ain't too plowed to dig. The 24 will take on the course, and the 12 with the fastest times will advance to stage 2. Kristen Carter is the first to knock down Smallsy, so the Minnesota Moose takes 500 small ones. Also collecting: Amanda Gutierrez the dirty cop. ADVANCING TO ROUND 2 PAIN IN THE ICE Contestants start huddled around an ice hole and drop onto a Fishing Pole sweeper arm onto a landing platform. Then it's a slick walk across the Lumber Tumbler over to the other side. Then it's a perilous trip across the Frosty Foot Bridge with a freezing rush from the Arctic Waterfall. Then they'll move it or luge it on the Snow Chute to the finish platform. First six to survive this trip to the fishin' hole move on to the next stage. ADVANCING TO ROUND 3 THE COLDHEARTED SNAKE First up, two sets of slithering snow sweepers, then it's onto Plummet Summit, a 25-foot high rotating slide. Then it's the Shivering Timbers, rotating planks. Then comes the Snowball and onto the finish platform. First three move on to the Winter Wipeout Zone. ADVANCING TO THE WIPEOUT ZONE THE WINTER WIPEOUT ZONE Boldly and coldly going forward where no player has gone before... the brand new Winter Wipeout Zone! Tonight... - Killer Luge Fifty large goes to the quickest time. First up is Chef Boy-R-You-Young, Dylan Hamilton. He blazes past the Snowglobe, but gets his head handed to him by the Frozen Fury. He gets to the three diamonds of Iced Over, but speed reutnrs with a time of 13:39. He's cooking with gas. ... but Amanda Gutierrez is about to stop him for speeding. She's already pocketed $500, but can she add any more? The Snowglobe gets the better of her as she comes to the Frozen Fury with 9:30 on the clock. She has to be wipeout free from here on out... She's got one minute left on Iced Over. And that doesn't happen. She leaves with $500 and a DNF. Now it's up to the Fraud Buster, as Travis Case takes to the Zone, but he's in trouble from the get go. He's three minutes off the pace arriving at the Frozen Fury. He's got one obstacle left with five minutes. It's down to 15 seconds... And he gets nailed by the platform. IT'S DYLAN HAMILTON WHO WINS $50,000 AND THE TITLE OF WIPEOUT CHAMPION! Warm up for another 24 chilly contestants and another set of bone-chilling courses next time. Until then, good night.... and Big Balls.
