0:00:02 > 0:00:04Hello and welcome to the kingdom of Splatalot.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Here are today's steely-eyed attackers,
0:00:06 > 0:00:08up against the defiant defenders
0:00:08 > 0:00:12as they strive to deprive the castle of its highly coveted crown.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Purple ninja monkeys on top of the CN Tower! Bang!
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Will these defenders be able to fight off the invading hoards
0:00:19 > 0:00:21- and keep the crown for themselves? - Selfish!
0:00:21 > 0:00:25- Or will the attackers reign supreme? - Either way, they'll be tumbling,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28teetering and above all, splatting!
0:00:31 > 0:00:34- Hello, we're Dick and Dom. - We're here at Castle Splat
0:00:34 > 0:00:37for the mother of all splatfests.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- The grandmother of all splatfests. - I wouldn't go that far.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Why not? We've got foamsplats, watersplats, mudsplats
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- and good old-fashioned paintball-splats!- You're right!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50We've got a granny splat on our hands!
0:00:50 > 0:00:51And this is how it works.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- 12 attackers try to cross the moat. - The fastest six go to the stockade.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57The first four to escape go to the final.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01There's one chance to place a paw on the Splatalot crown.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Let's take a closer look at the first round,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05snappily titled the Merciless Moat.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09It all starts with a trip across the bamboozling battle balls.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11They'll boozle your bams!
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- Onto the slippery slope, across the mace.- Slip up and you're slammed!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Down the Impossible Incline, onto the Beastly Battle-Axes.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21They'll slice you thinner than Parma ham!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Then it's time to risk the Rope Bridge of Disaster.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26It would be quicker if you swam.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Finally, a bounce on the heinous helper
0:01:28 > 0:01:31takes the attackers over to the finish.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am for the splats.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- That's the first round. 12 enter... - None survive.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Oi!- All right, the six fastest go through to the next round.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44But it's not just the obstacles they'll have to defeat.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- They'll also face...- The defenders,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50whose job it is to slow those attackers down.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Defending the moat today, the simply sneaky Ballista.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- "Hello, attacker!"- Says simply horribly vicious Knightriss.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- And the simply...- Just say Thorne. - It's Thorne.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Are you ready for us?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- We're ready for you. - Got it. Understood.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11We'll talk you through the action from our splat-proof shack.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15It's just like Wimbledon, except the balls are filled with paint,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18covered in goo and fired from Splatzookas.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Over to the course. - The king has arrived!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Hang on, is he the king? - Knightriss doesn't seem to think so.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29It's a good question. Who is the king? Have we got a supply king?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Here's the first candidate, Taylor! - Splaaaaaaa!
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Go on, Taylor.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- And she's off.- She's right off.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Let's hope that isn't a sign of splats to come.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I wouldn't hold your breath.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Especially as Ballista lines up a shot.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- How are you?- I'm fine.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- She's fine.- She fires and she splats. What a splat.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Lovely shot!- Taylor shakes off the splat and makes a run for it.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Who's jammy?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59A whole body-mode splat with an unusual twist.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Is that Splat of the Day? - What? So soon?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Taylor's onto the Impossible Incline. Takes that fast.
0:03:06 > 0:03:12- Take that!- A head-first splat. It's like she's the Queen of Splats.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Calm down. She's only the first attacker.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16This looks better.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Makes the battle-axes look like a walk in the park.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- Onto the Rope Bridge of Disaster. - Maybe her luck is about to change.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Frosty belly juice! Did she notice that big orange thing at the end?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Actually, shouldn't we have a scarier name for it?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- The Outrageous Obstacle?- That'll do.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35You won't get the crown like that.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- You ain't getting a tiara! - Taylor jumps for the platform. Ooh!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I think Taylor deserves a tiara for that splat-stravaganza.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47What you will get is a face of that!
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Taylor posts an impressive time of 5:04.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Narwahls are awesome, yeah!
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Devin sped over the battle balls and now faces Ballista.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- What are you thinking about now? - "Shut up and don't splat me"?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Devin, she's very pretty, isn't she?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Yes. Pretty scary when she's got a Splatzooka!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Can we concentrate on the game? Come on, get on with it!
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- What are you waiting for? - Fast run from Devin.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Straight down... Oh! Straight off the end of the mace.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19The replay reveals what an incredible leap that was.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Hang on. That's a bit too incredible.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Are you messing about with the pictures again?- Sorry!
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- There you go.- Thank you.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31- I told you time and time again not to press the shiny buttons.- Sorry.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- It's got to stop. Pie yourself in the face.- What?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36You heard me.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Thank you. Can we continue? Good.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43While Dick was being naughty, Devin made it over the battle-axes
0:04:43 > 0:04:46and the rope bridge and has landed himself a time of 4:29.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Here's Dana.- Purple ninja monkeys on top of the CN Tower! Bang!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53If you say so, Dana. Bang!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Direct hit right now.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Ballista calls the shots and she's bang on the money.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02She's back up on the axes. Ooh, and back off them!
0:05:02 > 0:05:08- Dana prides herself on her swimming. - Her diving's coming along, too.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Oops!
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Dana makes it to the bridge. - Taking heavy fire from Thorne.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Flop!- Heavy fire often leads to a heavy flop.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Dana finishes with 7:23.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22She's happy, but that could put her in the danger zone.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Let's meet our next attacker, Austin.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- Rise for Geddy!- The only man you need to know is Thorne!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31At least Thorne seems to have dropped his claim to the crown.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Austin going well on the balls.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- But not impressing Knightriss. - He's doing a great job.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- But the Blue Knight looks bored. - Ignore her, Austin. We're impressed.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Let's have some fun, Austin!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Careful. She almost definitely means evil fun.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50There won't be balloons! Just splats, as Austin's found out.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Don't say we didn't warn you.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Austin's heading for another splat.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Truly is the Impossible Incline accurately named.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- You sound like Yoda! - Disrespect me, you shouldn't. Nnnn!
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Disrespect the water cannon, Austin shouldn't.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08The poor young attacker is back in the moat.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Nonetheless, he picks up a useful time of 5:19.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Here's attacker number five, Madison!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Bazinga!
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Madison loves golf, and would love to have the power of invisibility.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24That's one way of doing it, disappearing into the moat.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- I'm not sure it's practical for everyday.- Mm, yes.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31She is on the axes. BOTH: Ohh!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33That was a spinning, sploshing splatdown!
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I think we've got another contender for Splat of the Day!
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Madison slips, trips and then tips into the moat for a dip.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Everyone's had trouble with the bridge and Madison's no exception.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49She crosses the line with a pretty good time of 5:11.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Let's see what attacker number six has to say for himself.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- Stop! It be a trap!- If you knew it was a trap, why do you stand there?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01He's not standing there now. Whoa!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Makes a great start on the battle balls. Steady!
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- Do you think that was the trap?! - Stop, it be a spike!
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Mike sets off on the mace and takes a direct hit from Ballista.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16It throws him off course, off the mace
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and into the whatnot.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Can he make a better job on the Beastly Battle-Axes?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Blob goblin! Look at all that fog! - What?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Oh, yes. Leave it to me. There, a frog.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Not frog. Fog! I told you to leave the shiny buttons alone!- Sorry.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Michael crosses the bridge and finishes!
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- This dare has been won! - He sounds exhausted!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40But he's set the top time so far with 4:02.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44The time to beat for the next six attackers is Dana's 7:23.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47If they're going to do that, they'll have to take the splats,
0:07:47 > 0:07:52the taunts, the falls and the spikes as fast as they splattedly can.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- What a first half! - We got our splat's worth there.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Even two contenders for Splat of the Day.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Love, how do we work out Splat of the Day?- It's complicated, darling.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I imagine there's a detailed comparison
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- of difficulty and duration.- Mm. - Probably some tricky maths.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Maybe an independent observer to make sure it's fair.- Sort of.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- How exactly do we do it?- I ask my hamster.- What?- His name is Steve.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Here comes the science bit. I put the attackers' names on bits of food
0:08:22 > 0:08:27and whichever name Steve eats gets Splat of the Day.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- But that's...that's genius! - Yes! Thank you very much.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36Let's remind ourselves what the fluffing hamsters is going on.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Taking a look back, we had a flying frog,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43a tingling tiara, a tricky Ballista and a super collection of splats!
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Michael's sitting pretty with 4:02, but Dana's twitchy with 7:23.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Now onto the second half. The important thing to remember is...
0:08:52 > 0:08:54To change your pants at least once a week.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- ..only the six fastest go through. - Yes, that's it.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Here's attacker number seven, Carley Marie!
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Bamboomski! - Bless you!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Carley Marie loves baking and hates spiders.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- How does she feel about battle balls to the bonce?- It doesn't say.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13So she likes baking and spiders.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- What about baking spiders? - That's not important.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Carley's made it to the rolling mace.- Rrrrrrgh!- Pardon?
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- Whoa!- And Carley's off pretty much straight away!
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Did Ballista growl her into the moat?- You call that a scream?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Master Thorne, watch this!
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Carley takes a splat for her troubles.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Ballista, once again, showing off her precision Splatzooka skills.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Pretty Ballista is being pretty cheeky.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Carley now at the rope bridge of...
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Will she do better on the heinous helper? She leaps. Oh, bimble.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Bimble indeed. She fell, but she bounced back
0:09:50 > 0:09:54and finishes with 5:19, knocking Dana out of the tournament.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Here's the next attacker, Chris. - I'm on a castle!
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Strictly speaking, you're IN a castle.- You do like to be accurate.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05You forgot the most important thing! This is my castle!
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- Oh, no, not this again. - You're not just on any castle!
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- He's not ON any castle!- He's in the moat, outside the castle.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- We can all agree he's now on the mace.- Except he's not now.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- OK, OK, are we all agreed that Chris is now in the moat?- Yes.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Onto the axes.- Yes!
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Even with just one weapon, we'll still get you, my dear!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Get him, Thorne!- And he does.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Chris gets the wet end of the water cannon. Not quite the full splat.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39Chris finishes in an amazing 2:37, the fastest time so far.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Here's attacker number nine, Jesse. - I can't swim!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45So the moat challenge might not be right for you, Jesse.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Skip to attacker ten?- Yes. - I'm a taco!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Welcome to the world of Thorne!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Boo-hockey! Carina's scared of ghosts and wants to be a lifeguard.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57That's just what Jesse needed.
0:10:57 > 0:11:03- Ohh!- Carina takes a splat on the noggin and into the eggnog.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Sploogemonger.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- She's bravely carrying on, though. Past the ghost.- Where?- There.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Carina doesn't need distracting. She needs to hurry.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Knightriss takes another victim with her vicious vapours.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Thorne piles on pressure with a water cannon!
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Nasty Thorne!
0:11:20 > 0:11:23She's over with a time of 7:30.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Not fast enough to get through, but finishing the course is enough!
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Here's Tori. - Carrot-flavoured deodorant!
0:11:30 > 0:11:34No idea what Tori just said, but she made quick work of the battle balls.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Nose jelly! The mace just made quick work of her.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Say hello, Tori!- Hi!
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Tori's showing everyone how it's done on the incline.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Belly flop!- A skilful technique that helps her onto the battle-axes.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- It's end of story for you, Tori. - I think Thorne just made a joke.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52That's no joke for Tori.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56But she's made it through to the second round.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- The final attacker is Mona.- Frozen!
0:11:58 > 0:12:02She knows she's against the clock and will want a fast start.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05A struggle on the balls is not what she needs.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's what she's getting.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- She's also getting it in the neck from Ballista.- Turn back now.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- Or you could run over the terrifying rolling mace.- Wedge-banger!
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- These attackers need to be flattened!- Talk sense, Ballista!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21You wouldn't be able to see them,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- and what you fire your dirty paintballs at?- Is that all you got?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I got plenty more where that came from!
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Thorne's bag of spare splats are not required. Mona splats herself.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Despite the self-splatting, Mona makes it in 4:56,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39which is good enough to put her through.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Heading for the stockade are:
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Poor Madison was eliminated by just one second!
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- I almost feel sorry for her. - What is wrong with you?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Why don't you feel sorry for narrowly-defeated Madison?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Bad Dick! Naughty Dick!
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Ahem! Now she gets to go home and be all warm and dry.- OK.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03She might not get to be queen,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06but she doesn't have to face the stockade.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I hadn't thought of it like that.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12You're right. She's well off out of it. Look what she's avoided!
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Gildar and his buckets of slime, a foamfest courtesy of Skabb,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20and attackers trying to escape whilst Kook splats them down.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24It's a splat-cident waiting to happen.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27The moat challenge has left us with our fastest six attackers.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30How will they get on in the second round?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33They might be speedy, but pace is no guarantee of success.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36This isn't against the clock, it's against each other,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39which makes it rather spicy. Our attackers are:
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Let's remind ourselves exactly what the attackers will be facing
0:13:47 > 0:13:50in the stockade...ade...ade!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- What are you doing? - Just trying to build the tension.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56You don't need to, because the stockade is tense enough as it is.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Is... Is... Is...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01The attackers start by racing across the gigantic hexagon
0:14:01 > 0:14:04to get across to the smaller hexapods.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07They'll have to balance on the pods long enough to grab rungs.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Then race over the hexagons to build the ladders.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13They have to grab a flag and get to the top of the battlements.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Whilst being splatted by defenders, including the mucky Skabb,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20the eccentric Kookaburra,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- and the raging poser Gildar! - Don't be nasty.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Welcome to Splatala!
0:14:25 > 0:14:30- Welcome to Splatalot.- Hm?- Splatalot. - Singular?- Splat-- Splatalot!
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Oh, what are they like? - They defy description.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- Time for a helmet check. - That's Devin in the mint helmet,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Mona in the violet, Tori with a lemon stripe,
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Michael with a lemon, Taylor with a cool helmet, Chris with the sludge.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47With Skabb on the foam, Kook on the goo and Gildar on the slime.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50KLAXON And they're off!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52The attackers make a run for the hexagon.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57- I love my job!- Because there's so many other jobs you could do!
0:14:57 > 0:15:02To be fair, he is good at it. Check out that hit on Mona.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Gildar moving Tori off her hexapod there.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- Kook goes crazy with goo grenades. - The defenders are showing no mercy.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13They're not messing about at spreading the mess about.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16This is weird. Where are the bad jokes and the in-fighting?
0:15:17 > 0:15:22- Gildar, is it me, or does that laugh get more annoying?- Very annoying.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27That's more like it. The baddies are bickering.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29HE LAUGHS
0:15:29 > 0:15:33I bet you can't go this whole round without doing that annoying laugh.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I bet you, my friend, that you cannot yell
0:15:36 > 0:15:40or say "Skabb rules" once during this round.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Fine!- It's on!- You're on!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Who will crack first, Skabb or Kook?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Har-har-har! - Yes, that's much less annoying.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Skabb, what's that funny slogan you always say?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57An update on why we're here. Chris and Michael are on their last rungs!
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Wait, I'll get it. "Skabb is great".
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Chris grabs the first flag. He's heading back to his ladder.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08The attackers are walking round what is the messiest round.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Skabb dominates. - Pretty catchy, that one, Skabb.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Gildar gets his head back in the game with a slime drop on Mona.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18It's not just Chris with a flag. Michael's behind him!
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Both of them are through to the final!
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Kook leans in for a slime, set on Tori! Slap-bang in the goggles.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Did you know that Crocness and Gildar were once married?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- No!- What?- Yes.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Skabb's just making things up, surely?- I think that might be true.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I remember reading it in Gossip International!
0:16:37 > 0:16:39You can't believe everything in the press.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44- I don't believe that. Gildar's so handsome.- I am very handsome.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Yes, but were you married to Crocness?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- I told you in confidence. - Thank goodness we cleared that up!
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I'm surprised at Crocness. I thought she had better taste.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- The woman has an alligator head for a scarf!- Good point.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Back to the tournament, Mona has the third flag and goes for a ladder.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05There's Devin grabbing a flag. That's all four flags.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08And with four attackers making it to the top,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11that leaves Taylor and Tori alone, in the foam, going home.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12- Well put.- Thank you.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15The stockade has done its job. Four attackers remain.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19They'll soon attempt to capture the crown of Splatalot.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Chris, Michael, Mona and Devin are all heading for the grand final.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Which, let me tell you, is no picnic.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Unless it involves some of the following...
0:17:27 > 0:17:32Sploshes, splats, evil defenders armed to the teeth,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35more splats, and being caked in foam.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- But at least no wasps.- What? - For the picnic!- Oh.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- You know, Dom, I've been thinking. - Oh, no.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44SAD MUSIC You've been a good mate to me.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Like when I was messing about and you made me pie myself.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52What I'm trying to say is, you've always been there for me.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Yes, well, no worries, eh?
0:17:54 > 0:17:59I just want you to know I appreciate it and that I'd do the same for you!
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- Well, thanks. - In fact, I'll do it right now!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Thanks. - No problem.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Here's a reminder of our four possible rulers.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16The crown could go to Chris, Michael, Mona or Devin.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20But standing in their way and slowing them down, will be Thorne,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Gildar, Kookaburra, Knightriss, Skabb and Ballista.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29Quick splat stat. Chris has been the fastest in both rounds so far
0:18:29 > 0:18:30and has to be the favourite.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33But Michael's been right behind him all the way.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36One slip and Chris could be attending King Mike's coronation.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Let's see what they're up against. A pole drop into the mucky mudbaths.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Over the slides, onto the titanic teeter-totters.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Followed by the barrier of all barriers and the lily pads.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49All that's left is a climb up the water wall
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- where the majestic crown awaits. - There it is. Lovely.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57Let's get going. Traditionally, we start with some off-key singing.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59# Splatalot, splatalot
0:18:59 > 0:19:02# Splatalot, splatalot
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- ALL: # Splatalot, splatalot # - There we go.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- If you can't beat them, join in. - Is this the worst one yet?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Thorne's forgotten the words.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- That's Chris in the dark green. - Michael in vanilla.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Mona in the mauve. - And Devin in teal.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20And they're off. Straight down into the mudbaths.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Followed by a faceful of froth.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25They man the pipes like the kingdom depends on it.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30- That's because it does.- Ahh. - Moving on...- Mona certainly is.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Gildar's foaming away. - CRACKING
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- But ohh! - HE SCREAMS
0:19:34 > 0:19:39Agh, my neck! My neck! Someone get me a medic!
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Oh, dear. - Concentrate on the attackers.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Kook splatting Chris left, right and centre.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50He's off. But still in the lead.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- Here's a Gildar update... - Bad news, everyone!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I've hurt my neck while flipping my hair.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01I'm going to be unable to compete. I'll coach you from the sidelines.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03We're good, thank you.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Are you OK? - I hurt myself very badly.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- You said he'd be fine. - Concentrate, Dick!- There's Mona,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11teetering off the totter.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Kook gooped Chris again. He's still in the lead.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Yes, yes. I want to know how Gildar is.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20As a Viking who is injured, I am very proud of you all.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Very proud. And handsome.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- He's fine. Now commentate. - All right. Where were we?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Ah, yes! There's Devin pulling himself out of the water.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33But Michael is making a play for the barriers.
0:20:33 > 0:20:40He's got his footing. Steadies himself. And he leaps!
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Chris trying to join him. Skabb splats him.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45No Viking coach required.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Devin and Mona on the totters.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52- Skabb is like a crazy psycho Barbarian!- But in a good way.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Michael is taking quite a splatting. - Chris back in second place.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Knightriss lines one up. Michael leaps.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02And falls short of the water wall! Could this be a chance for Chris?
0:21:02 > 0:21:07- Thanks to Thorne, we don't know. - Way to go, smoke boy.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Here's Chris. Steadies himself on his lily pad.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13And he jumps! And he makes it!
0:21:13 > 0:21:17He's closing in on Michael, who tries again to reach the water wall.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Knightriss is looking determined. She can't stand the suspense!
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Neither can I!- Would you prefer a reminder of the ones at the back?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I want to see the battle to the finish.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- How about Michael doing a silly dance?- No, stop it!
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Stop pressing the shiny buttons. This is the final.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33That was embarrassing.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Mona's nearly at the barrier. - I don't think she can catch up.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41This is a two-horse race, and those two horses are Michael and Chris,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43who aren't ponies, but two young chaps.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I preferred it when you were pushing buttons.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Chris struggles to start at the base of the wall.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Mona tries to make herself the third none-pony in this two-horse race.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- Michael totally fails to get a grip. - But Chris has figured it out.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59He's getting away! Everybody, this one!
0:21:59 > 0:22:04- I can't see anyone catching Chris now.- Michael's still in the water.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05He's stealing the crown!
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Too late. He's got the crown! All hail King Chris, King of Splatalot!
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Sorry, Michael.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15That's really embarrassing, everyone.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Says the Viking with a bob and gold shoulder pads.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Don't kick a man when he's down! Or in this case,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25when he's hurt himself flicking his lovely shiny hair.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Sorry, Gildar. Well, wasn't King Chris impressive?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31He was favourite, but as predicted Michael pushed him all the way.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36For most of that round he led, making it an exciting final.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38The excitement just keeps coming.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Strike up the band and get out the hamster
0:22:40 > 0:22:43because it's time for Splat of the Day!
0:22:43 > 0:22:48I can now reveal that the first name hamster Steve munched through was...
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Madison!- Let's see her splat!
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Madison made the first step onto the battle-axes look easy.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00When she went for the second step, she went down
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- in a splat-tacular fashion!- Respect!
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Here's something even more splat-tacular.- That's not possible!
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Oh, yes, it is. I give you the story of King Chris
0:23:14 > 0:23:17and his quest for the fabled crown of Splatalot.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Chris showed amazing speed on the bamboozling battle balls.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23And amazing skill in the stockade.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27And finished with amazing determination in the final round,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29eventually finding his way up the water wall
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- to that amazing crown.- Amazing.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34That's the end of this amazing episode of Splatalot.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- All that remains to say is he's Dom. - He's big nose.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39And this is King Chris getting crowned.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I'm the king of the castle!
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- We'll see you soon. - But in the meantime...
0:23:45 > 0:23:47BOTH: Keep splatting!
