6.7 - The Ex Games
July 11
Four-Letter Network may have the "X
Games", but "Wipeout" has... the EX Games! Yes, 12 teams of former
paramours... and Chris Harrison... have reunited to compete for $50,000
and the title of Wipeout Champions!
THE WIPEOUT QUALIFIER
Tonight, our 24 human crash test dummies will have
to face...
- Turbo Snail Fail: Brought to you by
Dreamworks' new release "Turbo", in theaters July 17.
- Tropic Blunder: planks and trees.
- The Big Balls... Hammer Motivator and Ballsy's Bonus in play. Anyone
who knocks Love Doctor Smallsy off his perch on the fourth
ball will win a $500 co-pay.
- Tongue Twister. Run over the tongues. Under is a time penalty.
- Wipeout Ski Lodge... Good for a relationship on the rocks.
This is a team affair, so the course will
be run as such, and so will the time. Speaking of time, the six fastest
teams move on.... to the next round. ALSO, after round 3, it's EVERY ONE
FOR THEMSELVES.
Seriously, what is Chris Harrison doing
there?!
Jeff gives Smallsy the old
it's-not-you-it's-me for $500. As for Chris... well, stick to roses, old
friend. Yep, he ran the course and had about as much luck as can be
expected.
ADVANCING TO ROUND 2
- Mark Shackelford & Amyjo Tancredi
- Anthony Pinero & Cinnamon Dunson
- Jeff MacKinnon ($500 BONUS!) & Leah Knauer
- Marc Bauer & Jillian Brockman
- Drew McKenzie & Mai Tran
THE MIAMI POUND MACHINE
It's as simple as jump on the spinning
platform and ride to the other side while dodging rotating sweeper arms.
Only it's all in day-glo pink and blue. Remember, go OVER, not under. Go
under, and you start over.
The first four couples to survive THIS
pounding head to the next stage.
ADVANCING TO ROUND 3
- Kevin Abel & Katie Michaelson
- Anthony Pinero & Cinnamon Dunson
- Marc Bauer & Jillian Brockman
- Drew McKenzie & Mai Tran
SUGAR SMACKS
We're getting candy crushed in the saga
toward the Wipeout Zone. We start with a ride around the hoops and
sweepers on the Birthday Cakes. Next, the Cake Ladder, the Lemon Drop
slide, and past the windmill. First two teams will be rent asunder into
four players for the Wipeout Zone.
ADVANCING TO THE WIPEOUT ZONE
- Fat Kevin Abel
- Old Lady Katie Michaelson
- Competitive competitor Marc Bauer
- Competitive competitor Jillian Brockman
THE WIPEOUT ZONE
Two couples, Four exes. Now ex-PARTNERS!
That's right, only ONE person can win the $50,000. The others will make
like Chris Harrison... and take a moment... and say their goodbyes. In
the Zone tonight...
- The Slingshock
- The Throw-Tisserie: a tunnel with no floor.
- Dark Side of the Moon: a spinning "indoor" slide.
- Twisted Falls: Two tramps and two waterfalls...and two sweeper blades.
First, despite being too old and too fat,
Kevin & Katie have been consistently in the middle all day. But it's
everyone for themselves... and it's age before... yeah.
- Katie: 11:55.47
- Kevin: 9:12.16
The competitive competitors have a shot
at taking the game away from Kevin, since they've been competitive with
each other all game. Now can they channel that into a winning
performance?
- Jillian: DNF
- Marc: DNF
... and that makes KEVIN ABEL THE BESTEST
OF THE EXES. He gets $50,000 all to his lonesome. Sorry, Katie.
Come back next Thursday for 24 more players, four more painful courses,
and significantly less Chris Harrison. Until then... Good night.... and Big
Balls.
