6.8 - Newlyweds: Love & Other Wipeouts
July 18
From a movie ranch just outside of Santa
Clarita, California... HERE COME THE NEWLYWEDS!
Yes, it's A newlywed game, as 12 teams,
united in holy matrimony, will compete with each other for $50,000 and
the titles of King and Queen of Wipeout... this week.
THE WIPEOUT QUALIFIER
Tonight, our 12 teams will have
to face...
- Cradle of Tough Love: a rocking cradle
with a rocking sweeper arm..
- Failboxes: Guarded by turtles. Wait, turtles?
- The Big Balls: Hammer Motivator and Ballsy's Bonus in play. Anyone who
knocks Cupid Smallsy off his perch on the fourth
ball will win $500.
- Trippity Skippity Flippity I Doo: Today, you're carrying YOURSELF over
the threshold.
- Creme De La Creme: a honeymoon in Paris... almost.
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 go from the five-point round to the 10-point round.
ADVANCING TO ROUND 2
- Dustin Schmidt & Sally Kellogg
- Josh & Nakia Brener
- Thomas & Kelsie Martin
- Jeremiah & Michelle Waylon
- Angela & Matthew Andrews
- Kyle & Vanessa Lewis Szabo
OCTOPUSHY
Contestants have to ride a platform from
one side to the other while dodging spinning arms from the giant
octopus. First four complete teams to make dry land move on to the
25-point bonus question.
ADVANCING TO ROUND 3
- Dustin Schmidt & Sally Kellogg
- Thomas & Kelsie Martin
- Jeremiah & Michelle Waylon
- Angela & Matthew Andrews
WIPEOUT'S GREATEST HITS
Today, we're flashbacking to the summer
of love. Crowdsurf into the Percussion Section,
then ride the Drumsticks to the Keyboards, and through the Swinging Axe,
all the while dodging props from our two dirty hippies. The first
two people across get an encore performance in the Wipeout Zone for
their team.
ADVANCING TO THE WIPEOUT ZONE
- Dustin Schmidt & Sally Kellogg
- Thomas & Kelsie Martin
THE WIPEOUT ZONE
The honeymoon is over. Real life... and a
real race for $50,000... starts now. One team will get the cash. The
other will take a long hard swim home. In
the Zone tonight...
- 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.
Thomas & Kelsie Martin have been at the
top of their game, literally, through the entire course. But those times
don't matter. Will the music lovers make sweet tunes in the Zone?
Remember, Blockbuster can be skipped for
a time penalty after one attempt.
- Thomas: 13:52.34
Meanwhile, no one knows that Dustin &
Sally are married... not yet anyway, because this is a national show
and... yeah. Dustin has been the driving force, but both husband AND
wife have to pull out big performances on this baby if they want to jump
the broom for $50,000...
- Dustin: 12:12.08
That translates to a minute and change
for the Secret Lovers. Now come the ladies...
- Kelsie: 24:25
Sally has to match or beat her husband to
win the lot for her team.
- Sally: 23.44
PAY DIRT AND PAY HER! DUSTIN & SALLY GET
A WEDDING GIFT OF $50,000! No secret anymore.
Come back next Thursday for 24 more players
and four more painful courses. Until then... Good night.... and Big
Balls.
