Wipeout In The Zone Episode 4 Rating: 3,5/5 2916 votes

Contents The QualifierIn the first round of the competition, 24 (32 in Episode 9 only) contestants attempt to qualify for the next round by passing a four-part obstacle course. Only the twelve (16 in Episode 9 only) with the fastest times move on. The course consists of four distinct parts, the second and third of which are constant. If the contestant fails to pass a particular obstacle, they only have to swim or crawl through mud or water to the next one.Contestants first go down a ramp to a line of floating platforms (not really an obstacle but many contestants fall into the water here). The first part of the course usually consists of two sections of stacked items which the contestants must cross, occasionally separated by an additional obstacle.

Courtney Turner was the first and only female to win Wipeout in Season 7, and was also the last female to win Wipeout in the series. In addition, she was the first woman since season 4 episode 25 (April Groefsma) to win the wipeout zone against one or more men. Episode 3: All-American Wipeout.

Though the items vary (doughnuts, rectangles, etc.), they fall over easily, dumping contestants into mud or water. (In Episode 9, the ramp was replaced by a water slide with lots of pillars (The Human Pinball). Starting in Season 2, the first part of the course is now a platform (or platforms) with unstable parts, leading to an easy wipeout (ex: Rug Pull).The next obstacle is the 'Sucker Punch', a wall covered in which punch out at random intervals to knock the contestants into a mud pit. This obstacle has only been successfully completed seven times in aired episodes so far (by Episode 4's, Episode 6's and (seen crossing it in episode 11), Episode 9's and, and Episode 10's and ).

For Episode 8, the boxing gloves are replaced by shoes and the obstacle is so named, 'Butt Kicker'.The third part of the course, and the show's hallmark obstacle, are the, four gigantic inflated rubber balls placed in a line on steel supports over a pool of water, which the contestants must cross. In aired episodes so far, (not shown), (not shown), and (not shown) passed the obstacle. In season two, was added on the platform that led to the Big Balls, which knocks off any contestant that hesitates to start jumping across the Big Balls.The final part challenges the contestants to land on a distant platform, a giant ball, or huge, stacked inner tubes containing foam in them by or a (or one of their variants) from a raised, levelled platform. Failing to complete this correctly usually results in the contestant swimming to either the platform they were to land on in the first place, or another platform further away from the intended goal; often the latter is used when the goal involves landing on the rubber ball. Time stops once judges declare that the contestant is in the proper position (usually standing) on the goal.The Sweeper/King of the MountainIn the second round, the twelve (16 in Episode 9 only) remaining contestants stand on ten-foot-high cushioned pedestals and try to jump over a rotating horizontal hurdle that increases in speed and height with each rotation. The precise details of the challenge vary slightly in each episode, usually adding an additional obstacle or handicap, such as making the contestants wear sacks, throw, or attaching things to the sweeper arm (a ring, foam swimming pool noodles, smoking artificial crows). The first six contestants (8 in Episode 9 only) to be knocked off their pedestals and into the water are eliminated, while the rest compete for a $1,000 bonus, awarded to the last contestant standing.

Wipeout

In the ninth episode, only the elimination occured and there were therefore eight contestants remaining, hence no bonus awarded for the last one standing.In Season 2, a 'gyro' function was added to the Sweeper. After one round of jumping over the Sweeper, it would gyrate in a circular motion. Contestants were given the choice of jumping over it, or ducking under it, making them have to time their jumps and ducks just right. A $1000 bonus was given to the last person standing, like in Season 1. In several of the second season's a sweeper-like obstacle called 'King of the Mountain' was featured.Road to the Final 4The six (8 in Episode 9 only) remaining contestants participate in a unique stunt that varies with each show.

The top four finalists then move on to the Wipeout Zone and compete for $50,000.Typically the challenge begins with the Dizzy Dummy, where the contestants are strapped to a spinning cylinder for a short period then released to cross one of two sets of obstacles over a pool of water. The first contestant to cross the obstacle will advance, and the contestants are forced to go back to the beginning of the obstacle if they fall off. Once a contestant has crossed the obstacle, the remaining contestants must return to the Dizzy Dummy again, which spins for a longer period each time until four contestants manage to pass (On episode 5, the contestants had to eat a Mexican lunch before the challenge to make the challenge more difficult). So far, there has been only one instance that a contestant, in this case third week contestant Jarran Joshu, had gotten so dizzy that he. Joshu immediately withdrew as a result. There was only one episode (episode 8) where there were no quitters to this round. Every other episode featuring this challenge has one person quitting.An alternative to the Dizzy Dummy is the Dreadmill.

The Dreadmill is a large with various obstacles for the contestants to overcome: doors, tennis balls, inflatable fish, a giant wrecking ball, traffic pylons while wearing 'goofy goggles', etc. If contestants fall off, they are either done with their turn or forced to start over, depending on the objective. The best time this season was Charles Zaucha's time of 2:34.Episode 9 (the pilot show) featured the Cookie Cutter, where the contestants rode on the end of a spinning platform, attempting to navigate their way through 4 cut-out poses (in a method similar to ) in the shortest amount of time possible. One of these human-shaped cut-outs (also known as the Cookie Cutter) was used as the final hurdle in the Qualifier round of the first (broadcast) episode.In Season 2, the contestants faced a different round called the The Slippery Course, in which the contestants would face an obstacle course all at the same time.

The first one to win would go through to The Wipeout Zone. They would repeat this three times and the last two would be eliminated.Also they faced The Rocket, in which you would have to go around on a shaking rocket while being hit by a few planets.

You would have to have the longest times on the Rocket to pogrees. Sometimes they addstuff like being hit with a meteor shower or bring sprayed with space gas by a spaceman (Major John Henson).Wipeout ZoneAt night, and with a more serious tone than the previous rounds, the final four contestants play separately on a large obstacle course called the Wipeout Zone. Though slight variations are used in each episode, each contestant must slide down a long ramp (Killer Surf), swim to and then travel up an uphill ramp with large barrels rolling down it that are released at regular intervals (Barrel Run), cross a narrow climbing wall to the other side (Water Wall), leap onto a large spinning wheel with foam pillars and then leap off onto the opposite platform (Spinner), then finally cross a series of trampolines set at different heights and distances to the final platform (Launch Pads). In Episode 9, The Triple Threat replaced the Barrel Run and Water Wall. Contestants had to cross three triangles which acted like seesaws. If the triangles rotate, the contestants fall into the water.

Also, the Water Beam replaced the Launch Pads. The objective is to cross a narrow beam while having seawater pour down on them. In Season 2, Killer Surf was sometimes replaced by a catapult (The Catapult) that shoots contestants into the water. The Barrel Run was replaced by three rotating gears (Gears of Doom).

What makes Season 2's Wipeout Zone different is that you may skip the Gears of Doom and take a time penalty. After that, the Spinner was replaced by an obstacle similar to the King of the Mountain from the Wipeout Bowl (Scary Go-Round), where contestants have to cross a rotating platform, avoid a Sweeper spinning above their head, and make it to the middle. They then climb up, and cross a high spinning platform bridge to the next obstacle. Usually, contestants had to cross the Launch Pads (Blast Off in Episode 9, The Tackle Dummy Turntables in the Wipeout Bowl) but those were replaced by a platform with 3 punching pistols (The Gauntlet) then a turntable filled with foam (Foam-Filled Turntable) and then onto a bridge that pulls up when contestants get close, forcing them to climb up (Drop Bridge). After climbing, the Drop Bridge drops, either knocking contestants into the water or two feet below the finishing platform. Whoever completes the course in the fastest time is crowned 'Wipeout Champion' and takes home $50,000. Jill Wagner would usually tell the winner who is standing on the final platform that he/she has won the game.
