Episode 5.12 - Udderly Ridiculous
July 17

One moment of glory is all our 24 players need to separate them from $50,000... Well, someone's gonna have it. The other 23 are going to have some bruises and cuts to explain when they get home.

THE WIPEOUT QUALIFIER

Tonight, the Qualifier consists of..

- Swingin' In the Rain: Trapeze under the bar and into a vat of foam IF you can dodge a surprise plank.
- Swept Away: a sweeper wet bar.
- The Big Balls... Flipping Motivator and Ballsy's Bonus in play. Anyone who knocks Va-Cay Smallsy off his perch on the fourth ball will win $500.
- Udderly Ridiculous. Two swinging planks of butter and one really endowed cow.
- The Panic Hammocks. Two blades of four bananas each.

The 24 amateur ranchhands will take on the course, and the 12 with the fastest times will advance to stage 2.

Matt McSweeney is KING of the Qualifier, as he knocks off the little jester for $500. Joining him in the next stage...

THE WIPEOUT ZONE

Three men enter, one leaves with $50,000. Tonight in the Wipeout Zone.

- The Temple Of Flume. Eight story slide.
- The Commakaze. Slide down the comma to the next obstacle...
- The Spinergy. Balance on the rotating ring while dodging sweeper arms.
- The Three Cs of Wipeout.

Fifty-thou will go to the player with the quickest time.

First up, the king of Wipeout is looking for his crown as Matt McSweeney hopes to turn his $500 into $50,000. But Matt falls down and breaks his crown. But he excels on the 3 C's for 10:21.

Gerson San Juan is next to maul the course... but the course mauls him back.

So it's the king vs. the villain. Rico Andino... but he ties himself up at the Spinergy, and the King's time holds. SPEECH! SPEECH! ... See what I did there? MATT McSWEENEY IS INDEED THE KING OF WIPEOUT TONIGHT WITH $50,500!

Next time, another $50,000 and another 24 brave, yet foolhardy souls to take on the course. Until then, good night.... and Big Balls.
