wipeout, then you go into a recovery swim to the next obstacle. ALSO the
winners will return for a Tournament of Champions at the end of the
season.
First up, bike club cousins Taylor Daniel
& Nicholas Andrade. They've been playing under the radar all day. Can
they do the same now? Taylor is up first.
TAYLOR: 2:35.80
NICHOLAS: 3:09.02
TOTAL: 5:04.82
Next up, model brothers Peter & Yoshi
Sudarso. They've been the favorites all day, but Yoshi suffered an
injury during one of the later rounds. Can they possibly recover from
this? Yoshi gets a chance to rest while Peter goes first.
PETER: 2:20.24
YOSHI: 2:00.06
TOTAL: 4:20.30
So the Sudarsos have conquered the
courses for $50,000 and the first spots in the Wipeout Tournament of
Champions. In total, $52,500 in cash!

Until then, good night... and Big Balls.
