0:00:02 > 0:00:03Welcome to Splatalot!
0:00:03 > 0:00:05The mysterious and messy kingdom
0:00:05 > 0:00:07where ten brave young warriors go head-to-head
0:00:07 > 0:00:09with those despicable defenders, as they compete to capture
0:00:09 > 0:00:12the greatest treasure in the land - the Splatalot crown!
0:00:12 > 0:00:15That's what I call Barack O-bam-a!
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Can the defenders keep the castle safe from the attackers?
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Or will our young warriors overcome every hurdle
0:00:20 > 0:00:22and find a true champion to rule the kingdom!
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Good thing I'm indestructible!
0:00:24 > 0:00:27So who will tumble? Who will teeter? Who will tilt?
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- And, who will go... - Splat?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Hello, I'm Dick, which means by a simple process of deduction,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37he's Dom.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And this is Splatalot - the magical and mysterious kingdom that
0:00:40 > 0:00:43changes its ruler more often than he changes his under-crackers.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hey, I change them every month!
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I think that proves my point. This place changes their King and
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Queen on a daily basis.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I don't think they actually need to.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55It's just that they really like to hold the tournament that
0:00:55 > 0:00:56surrounds the selection process.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And this tournament is made up of the following three rounds.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00In the Moat Challenge, ten attackers will enter,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02but only the six fastest will survive.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Ditch The Dungeon will reduce that number down to four.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07And Capture The Crown is the final round,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10where one brave attacker will claim the majestic Splatalot crown.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12So, three top tests await our brave young warriors,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15and each one is packed full of awkward obstacles.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Let's show you what we're talking about.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Here's the Moat Challenge in more detail.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21The attackers start in the splatapult,
0:01:21 > 0:01:22which hurls them into the moat.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25They then head up the slippery slope, and cross the rolling mace.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28The impossible incline is next, followed by the beastly battleaxes.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31The bridge of disaster then leads to the debilitating disc
0:01:31 > 0:01:32which completes the course.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34To make it even harder, it's all against the clock.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Yes, only the six fastest will make it through, so the attackers
0:01:37 > 0:01:40will be trying to keep the splats down to a minimum. The last
0:01:40 > 0:01:42thing any of them want, is to be wasting valuable time in the moat.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45The thing is, the kingdom has employed
0:01:45 > 0:01:48a bunch of ne'er-do-wells to slow them down at all costs.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50We are of course talking about the defenders!
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Here's all six of them. But the ones defending the moat are...
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Skabb - he's a big, bad barbarian.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Madeva - she's a chain-mailed mischief maker, and...
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Thorne - he's, he's just annoying.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Who ordered the pain cakes?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Thorne scorns!
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Skabb stabs!
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Madeva weaves!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I've changed my mind. They're all annoying!
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Down in the moat, the defenders are in position. Thorne's priming
0:02:13 > 0:02:16his splatzuka, Madeva's taking aim, and Skabb's getting angry.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Here's Paige.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19- Grapes! - I think she likes grapes.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Well, I hope she likes splats too. Wamoongle!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Well, it's always important to get the tournament off to good start,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28and I think our first attacker has just done that perfectly.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Nice one, Paige.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Come on, Paige, where are you?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Rule number one - before you start any day,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36you must have your pain cakes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Paige ignores Thorne's dietary advice,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41but the mace gives her food for thought.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Chalooda berries! - She nearly made it,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46but as they say, a miss is as good as a splat in this tournament.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Paige, is it true that you play the splatsaphone?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Yeah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56Oh, I play it too! Wow-a-woo, wa-wa-wa splat!
0:02:56 > 0:02:58You're embarrassing yourself!
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Who are you talking to? You know I'm Madeva, girl!
0:03:02 > 0:03:03You're going to get it now!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Oh, ram-ba-ba! - Paige rattled Madeva's cage there,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08but it just led to a splat on the incline.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Yes, the defender went on a slime spree,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13making the incline extra slippery for our young attacker.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15At the battleaxes now.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Oh, a water blast, and she's down again!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20You know I think the moat gargoyles are the unsung heroes in this round.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Their cheeky little water blasts almost always catch
0:03:22 > 0:03:24the attackers out.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Paige is back up, oh, it's another water blast, but she survives,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29and prepares to take on the first axe.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Wait I think there's more, yes!
0:03:31 > 0:03:33A third water blast, and this time Paige can't hold on,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35and she's back in the gloink!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Well, the gargoyles are certainly having a blast today!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Hey, Paige, I play instruments too.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44All you need is a shield, and a sword, eh?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46How annoying!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Paige agrees, and jumps in the moat. Please stop, Skabb!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- How's that? - Thank you.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Paige finishes in 9:36.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57But we like to finish with some goo. Lovely!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59It's peanut butter jelly time!
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Is it?!
0:04:00 > 0:04:01- Hello, Teah.- Hello.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Pain cakes are better than peanut butter and jelly.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Peanut butter and jelly's better than you!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- No, it's not. Pain cakes are better! - Peanut butter jelly!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Teah decides to win the argument by shouting,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13but the ever so quiet rolling mace has other plans.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Yes, the big old mace quietly goes about its business,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18and splats yet another attacker.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Teah now, at the bridge of disaster.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21How will she cope with Skabb?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Easily.- Oh, of course!
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Great! And just like Paige, Teah decides it's quieter in the moat.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Now this is what you need to cross the bridge - total silence,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32not some barbarian banging on a drum!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Yes, but if the round were distraction free,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- you wouldn't have splats like this. - True.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Teah crosses the finish line in 8:33, and celebrates in style.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Ready for the battle!
0:04:41 > 0:04:45OK, Giancarlo, but are you ready for the splattle?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Hey, Giancarlo, I heard you like your hair.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Yeah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I like my hair. It's unbe-weave-able, child!
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Yeah, right!
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Something tells me Giancarlo doesn't want to chat about hair right now.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I agree. Flopsie pat bams!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Rinse and repeat! That's what I always say.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Wrong way round, Thorne.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04More like repeat, repeat, repeat, and then rinse.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Giancarlo finishes in 5:26 - the fastest time so far.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11So to complete that winning look, how about some conditioner!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Otay!
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Here's lifeguard, Jen.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16She must be quite used to this -
0:05:16 > 0:05:18looking out across stretches of water.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I hope her view's normally nicer than this though!
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Let's get on with it. Monkey face prittle bat!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Her goggles need adjusting, but as Jen would say, she's "Otay."
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Here's her view from the bridge.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Doesn't that moat water look inviting!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Oh, Jen slips!
0:05:32 > 0:05:35She tries to hold on, but the bridge tilts, and she's in the hawango!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38But she seems "Otay" with that. Jen completes the course in 7:46.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Right in the donkey!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Here's our fifth attacker Jake,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44who's about to take on the battleaxes.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Oh, here comes another water blast!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Jake lands on the incline, then continues into the grilk.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Once again the gargoyles deliver.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53They're behaving quite spritely today. A water joke, yes?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- As in "water bad gag?" - Moving on.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Jake survives the next water blast, but struggles on the axes,
0:05:59 > 0:06:00and slip diddly daddy!
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Yes, it was all bit hoppy, springy and eventually, splatty!
0:06:05 > 0:06:07But Jake recovers to finish in 6:44,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09and his round completes the first half.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11So, let's check out the leaderboard.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Giancarlo is out in front with 5:26 followed by Jake, Jen, Teah
0:06:14 > 0:06:17and Paige, who's in the danger zone.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18So, Giancarlo is leading,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21but to be honest, his time of 5:26 isn't that fast.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24In fact, all the first half attackers have been a bit slow.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Well, to be fair the conditions are different each time.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30The course could be extra slippery today, or -
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and I know this sounds unlikely - the defenders could be on fine form.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Well, I suppose the conditions are the same for everyone,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39so the next five attackers should find it just as tough.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Yes, they'll have one eye on those water blasts,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43but the other eye on the clock.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Remember only the six fastest attackers will survive!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Now, before we start the second half,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51let's stop for a moment to consider the state of play.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53We know that the six fastest attackers will
0:06:53 > 0:06:55stay in the tournament.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57In other words at the end of this round the four slowest will be
0:06:57 > 0:06:59leaving - they will be toast.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02We also know that five attackers have already attempted
0:07:02 > 0:07:05the course and Giancarlo is the fastest so far.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Let's say this slice of bread is him.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11That leaves us with at least four attackers,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13who are all slower than Giancarlo.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16So whatever happens in the second half,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19we can say for certain that Giancarlo will not be toast.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Let's have a slice?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22No. Let's go to the leaderboard first.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25So, confirmation that Giancarlo's in first place,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27followed by Jake, Jen,
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Teah and Paige.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29What do you want on yours?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I'm having some of Teah's peanut butter jelly.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Forget that - the defenders are back,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34so it's time to meet our next attacker.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Brown squirrels!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Hailey, I'm not putting that on my toast!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Here she is, about to tackle the battle axes. Oh, wonton!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43No-one's getting past those gargoyles today.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Hailey struggles back up. Oh, and she's immediately back down!
0:07:48 > 0:07:51They're just starting to show off now - especially that
0:07:51 > 0:07:52one on the right.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Hailey tries again. Oh, I don't believe it!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58But she's making great strides on the bridge, ah!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Yes, if you speed a lot, you splat a lot.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Splat a lot - that's a good name for a show!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Hailey can be the logo!
0:08:04 > 0:08:05And despite all that splatting,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Hailey still manages 5:57 - good enough to see her through.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12In that case, bring on the twip plap. Lovely.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15You defenders will splat today!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Now, Rahul's hero is American president, Barack Obama.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Hello, Rahul.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Good luck getting me!
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Woops! Look's like Thorne doesn't need to.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Rahul's taken care of it himself.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Yes, that cheeky little backchat has cost him dearly.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Now, can he claw back some time on the incline?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Dinky doo diner!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33What was Rahul's battlecry again?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35"You defenders will splat today."
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Mmmm.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39That's what I call Barack O-bam-a!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Your insults are as lame as your skills.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Ooh, we got a fresh mouth in the moat.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49You know, I think we just might have something to wash that mouth clean!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Trout spout!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Yes, the water blast deals with Rahul's backchat,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56and he once more pays the price.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Will his time suffer too much? - Well, he's safe for now,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00but there are still three more attackers to come.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03OK, so here's some slop just in case he's through,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06and how about some more slop just in case he's out. Marvellous.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Does anybody else think this is a bad idea?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10No, Arran, we love it!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Let's catch up with him at the incline.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Hey, Arran, how are you doing, child?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I'm doing good.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Well, he seems a little grumpy.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Don't know why - he's just cleared the incline with ease.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24But now he's about to face the all conquering water blast.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Oh, he survives!
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Here's an onslaught of slime from Madeva, but again he stands tall.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31So the gargoyles have finally been defeated.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34He steps triumphantly onto the axes, but Madeva's still sliming him!
0:09:34 > 0:09:37It's having an effect. He's beginning to wobble a bit, and, oh!
0:09:37 > 0:09:40He slips, but somehow manages to hold on!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Arran, do one of your creepy voices for me.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45You gets meats fried and mash potatoes!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Well, it's not very often you see Skabb lost for words.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Everyone's been left open-mouthed.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Yeah, well, I don't think the gargoyle has a choice!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Come on, Skabb, my brother's more dirty than you!
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Your brother's more dirty than me! Fantastic.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Well, Arran will be the cleanest of them all
0:10:01 > 0:10:02once Skabb's finished with him.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04He's also achieved the cleanest round,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06with no splats whatsoever.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08And that's reflected in the fastest time
0:10:08 > 0:10:10so far today - an impressive 4:15.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13OK, here's one splat he can't avoid.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14I'm going to show you the wall.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Here's attacker number nine, Breanne.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18SHE SCREAMS
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Oh-oh, screamer!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Well, we don't mind a screamer as long as they're a good splatter.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24But any splat is a good splat.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Then she's fine.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Up the slippery slope now.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Hey, Breanne, you like the wall?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Well, allow me to show you the dark side of the moat.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35That's not the friendliest invitation I've ever heard!
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Breanne steps carefully onto the rolling mace.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Oh, but she slips, and I'm sure she'll soon be in the...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Oh, no, she's made it!- Woo!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I don't think we've ever seen that before.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Oh, but we've seen plenty of that!
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Back to that brilliant moment on the mace roll.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52It's almost impossible to survive if you slip, but she just did.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Shame she then ruined it on the incline with a sloppy slippy splat!
0:10:55 > 0:10:59She won't mind, though, because she's finished in an amazing time - 2:47!
0:10:59 > 0:11:01That's the fastest round by far!
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Here's our final attacker, Michael,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06who's already having a spot of bother on the axes.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I'm going to scale these walls like my favourite plumber!
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- He's means Super Mario.- Other plumbers are, of course, available.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Michael, say, "I'm a-gonna win!"
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Going to be the winner!
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Yeah, kind of. Now you will win, cos you said it.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Michael tackles the bridge.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Oh, he slips, but just about hangs on!
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Not for long, though. Jabber plop wop!
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Yes, Super Michael tried to avoid the mucky moat water,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- but was soon up to his neck in it! - Looks like he needs a good plumber.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I think Peach is in another castle, Michael.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Peach will have to wait because Michael's still in the game,
0:11:37 > 0:11:38and will be moving on to the next level.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40So Round One is complete
0:11:40 > 0:11:42and our six fastest attackers are...
0:11:44 > 0:11:47So the tournament's off to a great start. The moat challenge had
0:11:47 > 0:11:50that perfect combination of splatty resistance from the defenders
0:11:50 > 0:11:53and athletic ability from the attackers.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Six now remain to take on our next challenge - Ditch The Dungeon.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58This round is critical. It determines who'll be making it
0:11:58 > 0:12:02to the grand final, so there really is everything to splat for.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Yes, at the end of Round Two,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07we will be left with just four attackers.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10So far they've raced as individuals round the moat,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13but Ditch The Dungeon is a different challenge entirely.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16For the first time, they will be competing in the same space together,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19and that can lead to all sorts of splatty wondrousness.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Here's a reminder of the six attackers who've made it this far.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24They are Breanne, Arran,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Giancarlo, Michael, Hailey, and Jake.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Now, many delights await them in the next round,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32so I think we should take another look at the course.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Good idea. Here's Ditch The Dungeon in more detail.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38The challenge begins beneath the castle walls. The attackers must
0:12:38 > 0:12:40escape from the stock market, break through the gate,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42cross the splatwalk, then climb the loathsome ladder.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Trying to slow them down will be three new defenders,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47armed with a host of grimy slimy weaponry.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49They'll also be guarding four flags,
0:12:49 > 0:12:50the all-important tickets to the final.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54The maths is simple. With six attackers and four flags,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56there aren't enough flags to go round
0:12:56 > 0:12:59so if they can get to the top and claim one, they're in the final.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00If they can't, they're out.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02We also just mentioned three new defenders,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05so let's check out who's guarding the dungeon.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- I'm the Kookaburra!- That's one.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09I'm Vane!
0:13:09 > 0:13:11That's two.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- I'm Faetal.- That's three.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Time for a faet...
0:13:15 > 0:13:17SHE COUGHS
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Here, do you need this?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22No, I got it.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24..Faetal distraction...
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Yes, three of the kingdom's finest!
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Down in the stocks we have Arran,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Jake, Michael, Breanne,
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Giancarlo, and Hailey.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Kook's got the frothbrother, Faetal's got a slime stick,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36and Vane's got to get his act together.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37And they're off.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39They shake off the stocks and head for the gate.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41All pretty easy so far.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Things tend to get messy right about now.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Yep. Cue the froth!
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be water, so don't taste it!
0:13:48 > 0:13:50That sounds like pretty good advice to me, Kook.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Boys, so you know, the ladies are beating you right now.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- Oh, dear.- Spoke too soon, Hailey.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Breanne's now out in front on her own.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Look what I have here. It's a rotten avocado.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I can't eat this. Have some!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Ergh! Well I'm hoping that was just a goo grenade.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Whatever it was, it sent Breanne back into the bapoodle.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Now that's what I call a good old splat on the back.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Breanne will not be thanking Vane for that.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Hailey builds up a head of speed,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18oh, and then heads back into the swicket.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Kook has his sights set on Arran now, and so has Vane.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24It's a double splat attack, and down the ladder he goes!
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Vane's now after Breanne. Kook too!
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Oh, and Arran gets caught again!
0:14:28 > 0:14:31He was trying to splat Kook, but Vane put him off!
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Good thing I'm indestructible!
0:14:32 > 0:14:35You look disgusting. You've got green all over you. Green is out!
0:14:35 > 0:14:37So why is your hair green?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I...I dunno!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- He's the only guy who can do it. - Yeah, I can pull it off!
0:14:41 > 0:14:43You keep telling yourself that, Kook.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Well, he might have dodgy hair, but he and the other defenders
0:14:46 > 0:14:48are on top of the attackers at the moment.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Yes, Michael slides, feet first, and upends Giancarlo.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Meanwhile, Arran grabs Breanne, and Jake just joins them for the ride!
0:14:55 > 0:14:58They all look pretty tired, but this round is far from over.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Faetal, engage switcheroo.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- OK.- Three, two, one.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Surely not.- Wow, they did it!
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Yeah, but why?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Faetal swiftly pokes Michael,
0:15:08 > 0:15:09who then nudges Giancarlo.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Tickle, tickle, tickle!
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Kook's tickling stick then sends Breanne and Arran on their merry way.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15Nice dodge from Hailey, too.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Laughter is the best medicine. Ha-ha-ha!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20But Arran might not be laughing when he watches this back.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Breanne was slipping, but she made sure Arran was going with her.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24How naughty.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Vane has something for you guys.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27It's the...
0:15:27 > 0:15:29DICK AND DOM: Ball of Doom!
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Hailey goes down, but the ball's still after her!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34She slides on the splatwalk, and frang-moggle!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- Crushed by the Doom! - Actually, in the end,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39I think Hailey caused as much mayhem as the Doom Ball!
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Yes, it splatted her and Breanne,
0:15:41 > 0:15:42but Hailey went on to splat the boys.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45So I make that Doom Ball two, Hailey two.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Uh-oh, look what I have!
0:15:46 > 0:15:47This isn't like Vane,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50he's so focused today. I don't think he's mentioned food once!
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Michael's down in the sploosh.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Then Hailey's on her way, and she's soon followed by Giancarlo and Jake.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57But Breanne and Arran are still up there.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Vane fends off Breanne, but there's nothing he can do to stop Arran.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02And he's the first attacker to claim a flag,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04which guarantees him a place in the final!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Now, why aren't Kook and Faetal helping Vane?
0:16:07 > 0:16:08The attackers are all over him!
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I think Michael's broken through. Oh, and so has Breanne!
0:16:11 > 0:16:13In fact, she claims a flag before him.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Now, is Hailey up there too?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Giancarlo thinks so. He's already taking his slide of shame.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Yes, she has a flag, so Jake also slides out of the tournament.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Nice try, defenders.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Well, it was from Vane. Not sure about the other two, though.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Jake and Giancarlo do the honourable thing
0:16:27 > 0:16:30but the winners do the "whooping and cheering" thing.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31And why shouldn't they? Because
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Arran, Breanne, Michael and Hailey
0:16:33 > 0:16:34know they've made it to the final.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37What a great round! The defenders were on top early on,
0:16:37 > 0:16:39but the attackers came back strongly.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Tough on Vane at the end, though. No-one came to help him.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Don't start feeling sorry for the defenders.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Anyway, I'm sure they won't be so disorganised in the final.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Yes, each defender knows one slip could cost them the crown.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Funny, that's probably what the attackers are thinking, too!
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Time now for that part of the show where we give you
0:16:57 > 0:17:00an informative guide on the sporting merits of each attacker.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02We like to call it the Splat Stat Attack.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Once my colleague places the Splat Stat Hat on his head,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08then the Splat Stat Attack shall commence.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12So far, Hailey has finished fifth and fourth
0:17:12 > 0:17:14and Michael has managed a fourth and third.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17But Arran and Breanne can't be separated.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19They have both won a round and have both finished second,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21so that makes them joint favourites.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Excellent news! Usually, when we have joint favourites,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28we end up with a gripping final that's just too close to call.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Here's a reminder of our four contenders.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32In the Capture The Crown round,
0:17:32 > 0:17:33we have Arran, Breanne,
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Michael and Hailey.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37But that's not all we have!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Ah, yes, this lot want to play too!
0:17:39 > 0:17:40The defenders!
0:17:40 > 0:17:43All six will be on duty, guarding this splatacular course.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45They're looking out for the attackers, who start with
0:17:45 > 0:17:48a trip to the dire mire, and the barrier of all barriers.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50They'll then try to cross the terrifying Ts,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53but need to avoid the splaken on their way to the scary-go-round.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55The attackers must then climb up over the annihilating arm,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57and land on the gruesome twosome.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58The clobbering cannons are next,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00followed by a leap onto the royal ramps.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Once they've climbed the slippery rock wall,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05they'll find what they're looking for - the majestic Splatalot crown.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Down on the course, Madeva and Skabb have teamed up,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Faetal's on her own, and Kook and Vane are a pair,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- which leaves him.- My name is Thorne.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Thorne, Thorne.- How dramatic!
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Here are the attackers.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Breanne braves yellow, Hailey's proud in pink,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Michael's ready in red, and Arran is appealing in orange.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24And they're off! Their first port of call is the dire mire.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Hailey is stopped in her tracks
0:18:26 > 0:18:28but Breanne simply glides over the barrier!
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Her extra height really helped there, and she's first to the Ts.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Come on, Breanne! You gots to run!
0:18:33 > 0:18:36She takes their advice and takes one step at a time,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38but the water blast gets her!
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Now it's Michael's turn.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43He makes it to the second T, but, whoa, sprocket box!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Apparently there's only two of them. There's three.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47What a warm welcome!
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Come on, Hailey, run!
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Well, she does, and surprise surprise, it ends in a splat.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Arran takes a different approach.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Not a total success, but at least he hasn't fallen yet.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Breanne's not prepared to wait, though. She bumps into Arran,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01and eventually they both end up in the hickey splots!
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Michael tries a second time.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05He slips, but makes a good recovery.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Oh, but has he overbalanced?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10No, he recovers a second time, and somehow makes it over!
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Now it's Hailey's turn to try.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Oh, this looks better, and yes, she's over too!
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Michael leaps for the scary-go-round,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17but crabsy-ka!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Back to Arran at the Ts.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22He's down to one shoe, and that's bound to make him even grumpier!
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Hailey now leaping, and landing.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Breanne tackles the Ts again, and this time she makes them look easy.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Back to Hailey. She approaches the arm, but she's under pressure.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Floppy one! What a splat from Skabb!
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Just as she reaches the arm!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37You look pretty in green, Hailey.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- She also looks pretty wet! - Thanks, Skabb.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Back to joint favourite Arran, who's still on the Ts.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44But this time he makes it over.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Now, can Michael make it over the arm?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48No, not yet, anyway.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Arran's catching up, but Michael's falling down!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53And the two of them simply swap places!
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Arran now tries his luck on the arm.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Skabb and Kook pelt him with slime.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59He survives that, but he can't make his landing!
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Here's Breanne, and she also makes it onto the scary-go-round!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05She reaches the annihilating arm, but look out!
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Sausages!
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Double sausages! Triple sausages!
0:20:09 > 0:20:10It's an all-out slime attack,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13but she survives, and she also clears the arm.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Next stop, the gruesome twosome. She leaps, and...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Oh, can she hold on? Not quite!
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Michael's also at the twosome.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22He leaps, and he does make it!
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Arran avoids a collision with Hailey.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Oh, and he avoids the splaken too!
0:20:25 > 0:20:28This is the scary-go-round, not the lie-down-and-go-around!
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Hailey's now ready for a big leap.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31She's on!
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- She's off!- Slime time!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Oh! And Breanne's back in the biltong.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37DICK AND DOM: Splaken!
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Oh, it could have been so much worse, but it still puts Arran off!
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Yes, as splakens go, that was pretty mild -
0:20:42 > 0:20:45just a little tap on the shoulder to remind him it's still around.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Hailey now approaches the cannons.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Hailey, you're doing a great job so far, OK? Just run right through.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Don't listen, Hailey!
0:20:52 > 0:20:53- Bobby bash box!- Referee!
0:20:53 > 0:20:57All aboard the Vane Train! Oh, here comes another dude.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Double bobby bash box! - Michael gets a clobbering!
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Vane shouldn't get away with that.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Yes, but all this place cares about is results.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06In fact, the kingdom has spoken - Vane's just been named...
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Seriously?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Back to the action. Oh, Hailey's down!
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Blabber moose! So's Arran!
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Back to Breanne.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Oh! No, she can't make it onto the royal ramps either!
0:21:17 > 0:21:19But Michael can! He's now in the lead!
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Faetal springs into action.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24And Hailey springs into second place! Things are hotting up!
0:21:24 > 0:21:25Michael makes a leap for the wall.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27He tries to cling on, but he's down.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Come on, Hailey! Do it for the ladies!
0:21:30 > 0:21:33She leaps, but she bounces straight off! This final is wide open!
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Breanne's now on the ramps, so she'll be next to try the wall.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- But Michael's closing in! - Breanne, you can be a princess!
0:21:39 > 0:21:41I think Faetal means queen.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43But Breanne might have missed her chance!
0:21:43 > 0:21:45So it's Michael's turn to try the wall again,
0:21:45 > 0:21:46but the slime is raining down!
0:21:46 > 0:21:48He steadies himself, leaps,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50and this time he makes it!
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Arran's now made it onto the ramps, but is it all too late?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Hailey's back on the ramps too!
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Faetal turns up the pressure on Michael!
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Oh, Hailey's down again!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Now, can the Defender Of The Month save the day?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03It's good, but not good enough, and Michael is over the wall!
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- He takes the crown and becomes the new King of Splatalot!- Woo!
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Yeah! Woo!
0:22:08 > 0:22:09- What a race.- Indeed, Kook.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Bad luck to Breanne, Arran, and Hailey. They played their part,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15but here's the real star of the show!
0:22:15 > 0:22:17All hail King Michael!
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Well done indeed to our new king.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21He didn't have it all his own way, though.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Both Breanne and Hailey had their chances at the wall,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26but he was the only one who could stick his landing.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Yes, but sticking one's landing isn't always a good thing, is it?
0:22:29 > 0:22:30I mean, if no-one ever fell down,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33then we'd never have a Splat of the Day!
0:22:35 > 0:22:37It's pretty rare for anyone to withstand
0:22:37 > 0:22:40the charms of the Ball of Doom, and today was no exception.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Four attackers fell victim here, and for that,
0:22:42 > 0:22:47along with many other contributions over the series, we're naming it...
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Who's coming up with these bogus awards?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I didn't see one for best presenters of the month!
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- We didn't even make the shortlist. - What? We're the only presenters!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Let's get back to King Michael's journey to the crown.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Going to be the winner! - Now you will win, cos you said it!
0:22:59 > 0:23:02So Skabb had spotted Michael's potential as early as Round One.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04But his results suggested otherwise.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07He didn't do that well in either of the first two challenges
0:23:07 > 0:23:08and wasn't a favourite to win.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11But he saved his best till last and thoroughly deserved his victory!
0:23:11 > 0:23:13So let's hear from the man of the moment.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15My first act as King of Splatalot
0:23:15 > 0:23:17is to have one of you thrown into the moat.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I wish it could be all of you, but today...
0:23:20 > 0:23:22it will be you, Kook!
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Yes!
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Well, Kook seems extremely happy about that.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Well, you know Kook. He's always unpredictable.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30In fact, that's the only predictable thing about him.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34So another superbly splatty tournament draws to a close.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37We'll have plenty more mess and mayhem for you soon,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39but for now, we'll leave you with the Splatapult ceremony.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Take it away, Kook!
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Aagh!
0:23:43 > 0:23:44So, until next time...
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- DICK AND DOM: Keep splatting! - Where's the lifeguard?
