6.4 - Wipeout Family Values
May 23
Another set of families are ready to take
on the most brutal obstacle course in America. But do they have what it
takes to take on the mother of all obstacle courses?
THE WIPEOUT QUALIFIER
Tonight, our 12 family pairs will have
to face...
- It's No Picnic: moving blankets and
giant flies.
- Failboxes: Guarded by the cougars. Wait, cougars?
- The Big Balls: Hammer Motivator and Ballsy's Bonus in play. Anyone who
knocks Photobomber Smallsy off his perch on the fourth
ball will win $500.
- Drippity Skippity Flippity Doo: ... It's complicated.
- Aunt Patty Cake's Bakery: You'll get cookies and creamed.
The six pairs with the fastest times will
get to see the extended family of Wipeout obstacles in the next round.
ADVANCING TO ROUND 2
- father/daughter Flint & Samantha Palmer
- siblings Chase & Mercedes Cloward
- father/daughter Georg & Kimberly Tercero
- siblings Dillon & Nikki Scott
- Stacy Green & Kasey Contreras (who, by the by, are second cousins
twice removed)
- stepfather/stepson Mark Caswell & Ricky Rodriguez
OCTOPUSHY
Contestants have to ride a platform from
one side to the other while dodging spinning arms. First four complete
teams to make dry
land move on.
ADVANCING TO ROUND 3
- siblings Dillon & Nikki Scott
- father/daughter Flint & Samantha Palmer
- father/daughter Georg & Kimberly Tercero
- Stacy Green & Kasey Contreras (who, by the by, are second cousins
twice removed)
WIPEOUT'S GREATEST HITS
Crowdsurf into the Percussion Section,
then ride the Drumsticks to the Keyboards, and through the Swinging Axe,
all the while dodging props from our doo-wop greasers. The first
two complete teams across get an encore performance in the Wipeout Zone.
ADVANCING TO THE WIPEOUT ZONE
- father/daughter Flint & Samantha Palmer
- Stacy Green & Kasey Contreras (who, by the by, are second cousins
twice removed)
THE WIPEOUT ZONE
We have Country Strong vs. the Shamily.
One team will win $50,000. The other... is going to drop.
- The Scare Chair. Launching 30 feet into
the night sky.
- The Blockbuster. They twist and turn, but the objective is the same:
go from one end to the other.
- The Space Pod of Doom. It spins outward AND inward. Land on a narrow
finish platform and arrive at...
- The Bounder Pounders. A pair of rotating trampolines.
Remember, this is a combined time affair.
First up, Stacy Green, who with her
second cousin Kasey Contreras placed FIRST in Wipeout's Greatest Hits.
Stacy enters the zone inside out and backwards. Remember, the
Blockbuster has a time penalty option. One which Stacy exercises. She
also gets her head tossed in the Space Pod of Doom, leaving her with
11:37 going into the Bounder Pounders. She makes it with a time of
14:19.
Next up, Samantha Palmer, who with her
father Flint placed second in both Octopushy and Wipeout's Greatest
Hits. She's been the driver, and now she's setting the tone. Samantha
also eats a time penalty on Blockbuster. Space Pod has zero traction.
She lands from the Pod on the second try. But the Bounder Pounders eat
at her lead. The final time... 12:39.
Kasey Contreras is loaded into the Scare
Chair... and off she goes into the black night with one of the highest
launches ever seen. Two tries on Blockbuster, and she's done with that.
She fails to recognize the gravity of the situation on the Space Pod.
She drops with almost 30 minutes on the clock going into the Bounder
Pounder. She has an issue with the first.... but ultimately comes in
with a timer of 35:31.
That means that Flint has 23 minutes give
or take to finish the course. He... doesn't make it. STACEY AND KASEY
TAKE THE GAME AND THE $50,000!
Come back next Thursday for 24 more players
and four more painful courses. Until then... Good night.... and Big
Balls.
