0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Welcome!- Today, 12 young warriors brave and true
0:00:04 > 0:00:07will enter the Splatalot kingdom and go head to head
0:00:07 > 0:00:10with the dastardly and devious Defenders,
0:00:10 > 0:00:14as they battle it out to capture the highly coveted crown.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Will the Attackers overthrow the kingdom and seize the crown,
0:00:17 > 0:00:20or will the Defenders succeed in protecting the castle?
0:00:20 > 0:00:24The Attackers will tumble, they will tilt, they will teeter,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- and they will go...- Splat!
0:00:28 > 0:00:32- All right! We're Dick and Dom. - If you like arranging flowers
0:00:32 > 0:00:34whilst listening to marching bands,
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place!- Oh.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40But if you do like high-energy, seat-of-your-pants splat-fests
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- with a twist of medieval mayhem... - Yes!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- ..this is the show for you, my friend.- Ooh, show me more!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48OK. All 12 Attackers attempt the moat challenge,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51but only the six fastest move on to the stockade.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53There they have to grab one of only four flags
0:00:53 > 0:00:57in order to make it to the final. The Defenders will slow down anyone
0:00:57 > 0:00:59with eyes on that crown.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Love it! Show me even more.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03OK. Here's some "even more".
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Here are the obstacles in the moat challenge.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09The Attackers begin with the mind-boggling battle balls,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12then it's up the slippery slope and across the rolling mace.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Whilst fending off paintballs from the splatzooka.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18The impossible incline then leads on to the beastly battleaxes,
0:01:18 > 0:01:23and if the Attackers survive that, it's the rope bridge of disaster.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Accompanied by a cold shower from the water cannon.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29A final leap onto the heinous helper will bounce them over the line.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Seen enough? - Not quite. Bring on the Defenders.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Who has the honour of defending the moat and keeping the kingdom safe?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39He may be a tiny terror, but Tinkor thinks big
0:01:39 > 0:01:40when it comes to mischief-making.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- This one doesn't really do ANY thinking.- Skabb!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- And finally...- I am Thorne.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I don't want to know what he's thinking.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Prepare to be amazed! - At our sheer power!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55OK! Now have you seen enough?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Yes, thank you.- Good! Right!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Let's get on with it. Here's round one.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- HE SINGS - So, the Defenders are on the course.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Skabb has the vaporiser. Thorne is on water-cannon duty.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Tinkor...- # My slime balls
0:02:09 > 0:02:11# I love you #
0:02:11 > 0:02:13..is in a world of his own.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17I want a purple puppy so bad!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20And our first Attacker, Erik, kicks off with a unique battle cry.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Ruff-ruff!
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Oh, and the taunting begins straight away.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Erik's still taunting, and doing pretty well on the battle balls.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Oh! Bang-clanger. Curse of the commentator!
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- No! Curse of the purple puppy. - As curses go, that's lame.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40On to the slope.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- And he's still taunting Tinkor. - Tinkor takes taunting terribly.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Nip-ribbler!
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- And the mace roll teaches our little taunter a lesson.- Look!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Erik is imitating the logo. Is there no end to his taunting?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Nice try, but you have to earn the crown the hard way.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Will Erik try the same taunting tactics with Skabb?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02No! He simply ignores him. Nice one, Erik.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Thorne's water cannon might be harder to ignore.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07This has slowed him down completely!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Not as easy as it seems, son!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Oh, and Erik once again spoofs the Splatalot logo.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Looks like the logo just got its own back.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I know it's early in the competition, but that might make...
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Splat of the Day. - But Erik faces up to the challenge
0:03:22 > 0:03:24and starts climbing to the finish line.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- I beat you!- You didn't beat me!
0:03:27 > 0:03:31So, Erik finishes in 3:10, and Skabb's far from happy.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Do the funky ostrich!- Here's Emily.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39And we find her strolling towards the rolling mace.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Speed is the key to winning! Winning is the key to going...
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- ..on...to things.- Well done, Skabb.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Ooh, look out, Emily!
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Move, Emily! Move!
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Skabb more direct this time. Emily moves, then falls off. Poot-monger!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Right. Let's check that out again. Yes, as I suspected,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00they're all imitating the Splatalot logo.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- But that splat was the real thing. - Too real for Emily. She's fine,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06but the mace got the better of her, and she does not finish.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Our next Attacker is Carmen.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11When in doubt, narwhal it out!
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Yes, I often find a horned whale comes in handy. Oh, figgler!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17When in doubt, narwhal it out. And there he is!
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Let's see if that was helpful. Will she glide over the remaining balls?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- That's a no, then. - Here she is at the mace.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Let's go, Carmen! It's not a little slow race.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- It's a quick race.- No way!
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Cut the conversation and move!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- SHE SHOUTS - Stourbridge!
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- And Tinkor contributes perfectly to that conversation.- Stourbridge!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40HE LAUGHS Go! Go!
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Carmen makes her move on the mace. Whoop! Voom-bops!
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- The mace often has the last word. - Where's your narwhal buddy now,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- when you need him?- He's there.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- I'm confused! - Well, that was confusing.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56That's what Margaret just said. "I'm confused."
0:04:56 > 0:04:58No confusion there - straight into a battle ball.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Will that add to her confusion? - It adds to our entertainment.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06# Margaret, come out and see me... #
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I didn't know Tinkor couldn't sing.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- And it's put her off her stride. - Tinkor may have a splatzooka,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15but with some help from the mace, his voice is lethal.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- How will she cope with Skabb? - Hello, Margaret!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20You can call me Skabb, if you would like.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Very polite from Skabb.- Tinkor fires off a cheeky back-splat.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Margaret?- What?- Focus and go!
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Two feet, Margaret! Don't you dare cheat!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Jump!- There's... Spew fondue!
0:05:32 > 0:05:36I honestly don't know what's worse, Tinkor singing or Skabb screaming.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- They're both too much for Margaret. - No wonder the poor girl's confused.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Nothing confusing about that time, though.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45A very fast round from Margaret, with 3:23,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47and Carmen doing pretty well with 6:07.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Here's our next Attacker, Sam. - Purple walrus!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- What is it with purple today? I smell a rat.- Purple rat?
0:05:53 > 0:05:58- My first cousin was a purple walrus. - That would explain a lot, Tinkor.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01OK. Here's Sam on the mace. Sam crossing the mace...
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- HE YELLS - And there's Sam off the mace!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Girdle cheese! Whoa, there. Rewind.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09See? Another logo impression. What does it all mean?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11It means you're losing it, mate.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15He's over the battleaxes. Now sprinting over the bridge...
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Donkey pong!- Well, Thorne thought that was a blast.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23You can see why. That blast from his cannon contributed to that splat,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- and that will slow Sam down. - Not by much,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27because it's the third-fastest time today.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Unicorns!
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- SHE SCREAMS - Uh-oh! Scream alert!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- And she sets Skabb off. - This is really tricky!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Yeah, I know!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39OK. Calm down, everyone.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Go!- Stephanie has got some thinking to do.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47But Skabb's got some splatting to do. Eggy niblets!
0:06:47 > 0:06:51In all this confusion, perhaps the safest place is in the moat.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Not before she gets an additional splatting from the axe-blade.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Not the sharpest tool in the box. - Stephanie?- No, the axe!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I love her spirit, but I don't like her time of 9:55.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- And that's the first half. - So let's check out the leaderboard!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Less than 30 seconds separates the top three,
0:07:06 > 0:07:11and, as Emily didn't finish, Steph's 9:55 is the time to beat.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14But remember, only the six fastest will make it to round two.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18So with six more Attackers to come, it's anybody's game for the taking.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20And the splatting.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23We're halfway through round one, so let's play a picture game
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- I call Know Your Attacker.- OK!
0:07:25 > 0:07:30"Skabb smells". Oh, right. That's a taunting purple puppy,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33which is Erik, our fastest Attacker so far.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Yes! It's the world-famous saying, isn't it?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41"If in doubt, narwhal it out." Carmen currently in fourth place.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- OK. One more. - OK. Purple wall, R, us.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Purple Walls R Us. - Just say what you see.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- That never helps, does it? - It's not... It's "rus".
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Purple walrus. It's Sam's battle cry!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Why didn't you just draw a purple walrus?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I had enough trouble with a narwhal! I'm not Rolf Harris.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Sometimes you make me want to... Yes. Exactly.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Erik is in the lead with 3:10, and because Emily did not finish,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Stephanie has the time to beat of 9:55.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09So let's go back down to the moat for the second half.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- So, Thorne back on the water. - HE BREAKS WIND
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Did he just...- Yes, he had a chilli taco during the break.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- Skabb doesn't look too pleased. - Tinkor is singing to his slime ball.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Not sure if the Defenders are focussed.- How about Michael?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Green!- What did he just scream?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- He screamed the word "scream". - He's at the last battle ball.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Trumpton-fuddle! That's quite a way to start the second half.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I hope he splatted on an empty stomach.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Stornoway!- Oh, wow!
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Well, we'll soon know if Michael has eaten. A splat straight to the belly
0:08:42 > 0:08:44straight after that belly flop on the slope.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Everything's stayed down so far. - Ooh, Piffington!
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Another stomach-churning moment for Michael.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- And another top splat from Tinkor. - That one's going to leave a mark!
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Tinkor's left his mark on all of us. - Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Oh, dear. Looks like Sharon's a bit shy.- Go!
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- Skabb doesn't do shy. - What are you doing standing there?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Go!- And Skabb gently encourages Sharon in his own sweet day.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10This might take a while. Here's Zaryn.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Oh, look, a taco!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15And Zaryn's spotted a taco!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- What are you doing? - Thorne gave it to me.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- HE BREAKS WIND - Right, back to the moat.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Slipper-scuff! - Tell me I'm being foolish...
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- You're foolish.- ..but doesn't that pose look like our logo?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Not that again! Here's Zaryn at the mace.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- Swazzlecuff!- But she has no trouble with the battleaxes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- How about the rope bridge?- Not bad, but she wants a word with Thorne.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- What? Sorry, I can't hear you. - What? Sorry, Thorne. She's finished.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47And that time of 3:41 is pretty impressive.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Michael's done even better with 3:20.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Meanwhile, how would you sum up Sharon's round so far?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- HE BREAKS WIND - Yeah. Interesting, interesting.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58What can you do when nerves get the better of you?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- HE BURPS - Yeah, I suppose you could do that.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I'm not sure if that advice is going to help Sharon.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06What's happening?!
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- I feel like asking that too. Have you finished that taco yet?- Yes.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Good.- Elijah at the incline.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15He gradually makes his way down. Gentle but effective!
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Skabb is rarely either of those things.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Now onto the battleaxes. Mushy funk!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Now, let's see. Gentle? No.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Effective? No. Splat of the Day? Quite possibly.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- KLAXON BLARES - Surely that's some kind of clue.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Bless her. We needed someone like Sharon
0:10:32 > 0:10:35just to show how challenging this tournament is.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- I can't do it!- So Sharon creates a brand-new category of her own.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42We've had "did not finish". Now we've got "did not start".
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Here's Ellen!- I don't think so.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- But what's the question? - "Can you make it up the slope?"
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- HE CHATTERS - Or "can anyone understand Tinkor?"
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Another belly splat from Tinkor there,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59and back goes Ellen, down into the moat.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02But she got back up and actually made it round in 4:49,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- putting her in sixth place. - OK, can we stop now, please?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I've got a theory about this logo conspiracy.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- What logo conspiracy? - Well, it all stared with cheeky Erik
0:11:12 > 0:11:14when he jumped off the mace. See? Right there.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18And then a pattern started to form. Zaryn struck her pose at the start,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21which led to quite a splat at the battle balls,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23but Erik left his impression right until the end,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25coming face to face with the logo itself.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28And finally Sam had a go. I think they're auditioning
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- to be the next Splatalot mascot. - Lovely. Can we continue?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Aaargh! - Here's final Attacker, Marcus!
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Quick, like a bunny! - Marcus takes Tinkor's advice
0:11:36 > 0:11:39and hops like a bunny right over the mace.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41What I like about you is your war cry!
0:11:41 > 0:11:46What's your war cry again? Aaaargh! That's how it's done.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Oh, nibbler! Incredible tactics from Skabb there.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53He has a scream-off with Marcus, who valiantly joins in.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55But Skabb shouts him into the moat.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Marcus take on the bridge and Thorne's water cannon.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Drivel-swallower! - Well, he got halfway,
0:12:00 > 0:12:04but that bridge doesn't do things by halves. What a drivel-swallower!
0:12:06 > 0:12:08That's what you get for being too cocky.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12All right, Thorne! But Marcus makes it in the fastest time of the day.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Wow!- What a way to end round one. Marcus leaves the best till last.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18So, let's see who's through to round two.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Which means we say goodbye to narwhaley Carmen,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25and who can forget shy Sharon?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Don't start. - Precisely! That was the problem.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Anyway, back to round two, which is the stockade.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34This must be the only show that rewards good competitors
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- by throwing them into jail.- Aaargh!
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Don't worry. They all get a chance to escape.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45So, what have we learned about our Attackers after round one?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Splat-stat hat! - This may be a new world record.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51All six finished within 45 seconds of each others,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54so this could be the tightest contest we've ever had.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Favourite battle cry? - "I'm confused!"- Simple question.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00No, that was Margaret's battle cry. "I'm confused!"
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- I don't think so.- Yes, it was. - No, "I don't think so"
0:13:02 > 0:13:05was my favourite battle cry, from Ellen.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Leaderboard?- Leaderboard!
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Here are the top six who will be advancing to round two,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- where they must escape the stockade. - It's ape-man Marcus,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Erik, Margaret, Zaryn, Sam and Michael.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20They took some serious splatting in the moat challenge,
0:13:20 > 0:13:24but it's nothing compared to the sliming they're about to get.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26And then there's the grand final to follow,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29when the splatting takes on an almost magisterial quality.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31So they're all still quite a few splats away
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- from that much-treasured crown. - Here's the stockade.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37The Attackers start by crossing the hexagon
0:13:37 > 0:13:40and grabbing the rungs to build their ladders.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44The stockade will be filling up with foam and water, slime and goo.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Once their rungs are in place, they can take one of four flags
0:13:48 > 0:13:52and make their escape. Next stop, the grand final.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56With only four flags, two of the Attackers won't make it.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Tricky!- It's about to get trickier.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Bring on the new Defenders. - The name's Kook!
0:14:02 > 0:14:06How do you follow Kook? Easy, if you have no shame.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- It's Gildar. And finally it's our sugary-sweet slayer...- Shaiden.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14You'll never get past us. We are fearless.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Agh!
0:14:17 > 0:14:20So, the Attackers are ready to go down in the stockade.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Erik's in red. Zaryn has an all-blue combination.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Sam has gone for orange. Margaret's in purple.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Michael sports yellow, and Marcus is green for go.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Gildar looks ready to go too, with a double-barrelled splatzooka,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35and Shaiden looking as menacing as ever.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36All right! Fun time.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39It certainly is, as the Attackers head for the hexagon.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43This isn't against the clock. It's against each other.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Sam breaks from the pack, and leaps.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48From there he'll be able to reach up for a rung.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50It's getting pretty foamy down there.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Yes! Sam has the first rung. - What are you doing? Give it back!
0:14:54 > 0:14:58And back he goes! Zaryn now has her first rung.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01These Attackers are evenly matched, and quick too.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Sam and Zaryn have the first rungs in their ladders.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Where are the Defenders? - Foot-in-mouth!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Here's Marcus, who will demonstrate how to get splatted
0:15:09 > 0:15:11in four easy moves. One, you leap.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Two, you land on the slippy platform.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Three, you forget the brakes and overbalance.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Four, you end up in the foam. Splat accomplished. Thank you, Marcus.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Now, that's foamy Erik with his first rung,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25and here's an even foamier Margaret, leaping like a foamy frog.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Who's Shaiden after? - I think it's Marcus.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31It's getting pretty hard to tell who's who out there.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Aaargh!- What happened? - It's the abominable snowman!
0:15:34 > 0:15:38It's the abominable snowman! Oh, my good... Gildar!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40They're Attackers covered in foam!
0:15:40 > 0:15:43They're all Attackers covered in your foam.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45My mistake. Sorry.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Kook keeps getting kookier, and Gildar always acts abominably.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Well, that was pretty abominable too.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Zaryn gets up close and personal with the mini-hexagon.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Extra-foamy and extra-splatty.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00While Zaryn splats and stumbles, her main rival Sam has another rung.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- Again, where are the Defenders? - Are we allowed to do the course
0:16:04 > 0:16:08with no shoes? You know what I always say, Gildar?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- What do you always say? - Kid's got no "sole" without a shoe.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I don't... I don't follow you.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- The sole of a shoe. - Yes. What about it?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20You don't have a...
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Yeah.- Good defending, everyone.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Well, that was pretty painful all round.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Not for the Attackers. The Defenders get distracted
0:16:28 > 0:16:31in their own little world, and forget about defending.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35The Attackers won't mind. It leaves them free to keep leaping.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37That's a nice landing from Erik.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Are we all watching this? Is everyone watching? I hope you are.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Finally, some defending!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Erik was our chief taunter in round one,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47but Gildar has found a way to silence him.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Ooh, and unbalance him. - Back to the hexagon,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52and Sam, our front runner, is still in the lead.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55He grabs the flag and sprints to his ladder.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Sam's the man. He's first to escape the stockade,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and the first to make it through to the final.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Marcus won't be too far behind. He has the second flag.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05That's made life much harder for the others,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- who still have ladders to finish. - Squeezy beans!
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Shaiden slimes Marcus. That will leave a nasty aftertaste,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15but it won't stop him completing the challenge.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Now Erik gets his balance and claims the third flag,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21which leaves three Attackers fighting over the last flag.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Margaret leaps and splats. It's getting a bit frantic down there.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28And Erik climbs, and makes it to the top,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30so only one place in the final remains.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34That's Michael's last rung. How will the Defenders respond?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- # Gildar, you're handsome - # Gildar, you're gorgeous
0:17:37 > 0:17:41# Gildar, you make my dreams come true #
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- That's how they respond. - They serenade each other,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46and allow Michael to take the last flag!
0:17:46 > 0:17:49It's all too little, too late from the Defenders,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53as Michael makes it to the top. We have our four finalists!
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Farewell to Zaryn and Margaret, and hello, final,
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- for Erik, Michael, Sam and Marcus. - Another memorable stockade.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02That song was great. # Gildar, you're amazing... #
0:18:02 > 0:18:05No! I was talking about our finalists,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07who will soon attempt to capture the crown.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10But they'll have to cross the biggest obstacle course
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- in the land.- It will get splatty.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16So, what did round two teach us?
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Very little defending gets done when Gildar and Kook get together,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23not so much arguing, more fooling around, really.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26But that's why we love them. Well, I say "love".
0:18:26 > 0:18:30I actually mean "put up with". Well, what I actually mean is -
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Back to the Attackers. Erik, Sam, Michael and Marcus
0:18:33 > 0:18:36have earned the right to take on all six Defenders, and each other,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38in a bid for that Splatalot crown.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43Hang on! I have some breaking news coming in from the Defenders' camp.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46It appears that, after the nonsense in the Stockade,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Gildar has been put on the naughty step,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- and Crocness will take his place. - So, that last-minute substitution
0:18:52 > 0:18:55might make them a more balanced defensive unit.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58This requires balance, too - the Capture the Crown course.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00The Attackers start in the funky foam.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Then it's over the slides to the teeter-totters.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Where the barrier of all barriers and the lily pads await.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09And they still have to climb the water wall
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- before seizing the crown. - Back to the Defenders.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- What's Kook thinking? - Safety...first.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18So the Defenders are taking this final seriously.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Here are the Attackers - Marcus in green, Sam in orange,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Erik in red and Michael in yellow.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27And they're off! Heading straight down in the funky foam.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Welcome to Foam Town, population you!
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Kook managing to be focussed, foamy and funny.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Try again, matey!- Look out, Kook! The abominable snowman is back.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Oh, no, it's just Erik.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Tinkor, as always, looking happy in his work.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Marcus heads for the slime. Trumpington!
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- And slide he does.- There he goes - slippier than a slippery eel
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- and a kipper wearing slippers. - Not a familiar saying.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Onto the teeters. Clockhangers! The first to totter is Erik.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Three splats for the price of one. One, two, three.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Great value. - Now, who's Thorne aiming at?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Melton Mowbray! It's Marcus. Thorne gets him just above the knee.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Marcus loses his balance and down he goes.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Then Tinkor vaporises him for good measure.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Skabb splats Erik at the barrier.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14The Defenders have really raised their game now.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Fluggle-paps!- Michael has to plant both feet on the barrier.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- No sliding allowed. - Looking good for the Defenders.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Ooh, but Thorne won't thank Tinkor for that. Rotherham!
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Great throw from Skabb. Let's see that again.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Wow! The paintball has actually wedged into Erik's visor!
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Ooh! Note to self - do not high-five Skabb.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Something tells me Erik's not quite finished.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Hello, sweetheart. - Ooh, Uncle Squirty!
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Kook slimes Marcus, and also calls him sweetheart.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- This game can be so cruel at times. - Crueller than you think.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Thorne splatted him too. It's a triple-splat Thorne sandwich.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Teamwork!- Teamwork indeed. The Defenders are working as a unit.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57And the Attackers are pinned down on the teeters.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Oh, Erik seems to be struggling! He needs to find inspiration.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Will he make it this time? Oh, wait. Something's inspired him!
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- It's his four-legged friend! - He's over the barrier,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11and he and his purple pal make it to the lily pads.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Which triggers the water wall. The final is hotting up!
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Erik losing his balance. - Maybe Sam can catch him up.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Wibble! No, he can't.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Splatalot rules require both elbows to make contact
0:21:22 > 0:21:26with the platform - just like that! Erik can move to the water wall.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Skabb's not happy, and splats Erik under the armpit.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- This is getting personal!- Oi, Skabb! Pick on someone your own size.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Fortunately neither of us are, so he can't pick on us.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Kook splats Marcus at close range with a giant paintball.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Marcus loses his balance - a possible Splat of the Day.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48How about Mistake of the Day? Kook should be at this end of the course,
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- trying to stop Erik.- The other Attackers are still trying,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55but Erik has made it to the top, and claims the crown.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Game over! We have a new king in town,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01and his name is Erik!
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Uh-oh!- Don't say things like that!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- I'm the king!- Yes, he certainly is.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- Skabb, calm.- Skabb needs to calm down and accept defeat.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17He lost, and Erik rules, quite literally.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- The blue ninja tries to calm Skabb down.- Good luck with that!
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Wow! King Erik claims the crown,
0:22:24 > 0:22:28and wins his own personal battle with Skabb. Victory is splat.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- Don't you mean sweet?- I never miss an opportunity for a splat,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35especially when it's time for Splat of the Day.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Yes, inevitably Skabb was involved, with Stephanie on the battleaxes.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41She lost her balance, and on the way down
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- she got to know those axes a little better.- A great splat!
0:22:44 > 0:22:47But we also loved her calm response straight after.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Yeah, she's got that. And now she's also got Splat of the Day.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56But this guy got so much more. Here's Erik's journey to the crown.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59In round one, he auditioned as the Splatalot mascot.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03After taunting Skabb, he escaped the stockade,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05then slipped, teetered, tottered, splatted
0:23:05 > 0:23:09and climbed his way to victory. A true Splatalot champion.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12We'll have plenty more splats for you very soon.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15But for now we'll leave you with the flag-raising ceremony,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18and our new ruler. Take it away, King Erik!
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I'm the king of the castle!
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Till next time, keep splatting!
