Episode
6.9 - The Cat-Face Shirt
July 25
We have a course... we have $50,000. We
might as well have some fun with 24 contestants looking to make complete
asses of themselves on TV.
THE WIPEOUT QUALIFIER
Tonight, our 12 teams will have
to face...
- Wipeout Marina: Now with jet skis and
failboats
- Tropic Blunder: planks and trees.
- The Big Balls... Hammer Motivator and Ballsy's Bonus in play. Anyone
who knocks Thor Smallsy (or, because Disney now owns Marvel, Nordic
Avenger Smallsy) off his perch on the fourth ball will win $500.
- Tongue Twister. Run over the tongues. Under is a time penalty.
- Wipeout Farmhouse: putting the "ache" in acres.
The 12 with the fastest times will
be bucked into the next round.
ADVANCING TO ROUND 2
- "Sideshow" Jim Klimek
- Joe "Weather Finger" Merrill

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
- "Sideshow" Jim Klimek
- Joe "Weather Finger" Merrill
- Taylor "The Tailor" Dixon
- Jon "Corn Star" Cornford
- Chris "Go Go Grandson" Weaver
- Anthony "Delivery Knight" Corral Jr.
WIPEOUT CITY
Today, Wipeout City is being cleaned up.
Finally. Navigate through
the Bridge Over Troubled Waters and the Helicopter Spin, leading to the Spinning Helipad. Finally, cross the
Water Main, grab the Power Line, and drop through the Manhole to
complete the course, all while dodging our angry window wipers. First three
make it to the Wipeout Zone, while the others get hosed.
ADVANCING TO THE WIPEOUT ZONE
- "Sideshow" Jim Klimek
- Taylor "The Tailor" Dixon
- Chris "Go Go Grandson" Weaver
THE WIPEOUT ZONE
That man says 50 grand. We say...
- 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.
As always, the fastest wins $50,000.
First is the Tailor, Taylor Dixon. He
came in the back through most of the day, but did he save his best for
last?
TAYLOR: 8:54
By contrast, Jim Klimek has been the main
attraction, placing toward the front all day. He's been the pacer, but
can he beat Taylor's score?
JIM: 6:17
That leaves Chris "Go Go Grandson" Weaver
to take the case. He's been in the middle of the Qualifier, but he had a
first-place finish in the Miami Pound Machine. Does he have another?
He's well behind and still at the Throw-Tisserie...
CHRIS: DNF (Wipes out at Dark Side of the
Moon). JIM KLIMEK WINS WIPEOUT FOR $50,000!
Come back next Thursday for 24 more players
and four more painful courses. Until then... Good night.... and Big
Balls.
