0:00:02 > 0:00:05- It's splat time!- Splatalot opens its drawbridge once again,
0:00:05 > 0:00:08inviting 12 brave-hearted battlers to battle brave-heartedly
0:00:08 > 0:00:10with those dastardly Defenders.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14The aim - to claim the crown of Splatalot.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The Defenders will stop at nothing to protect their kingdom.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20And the Attackers know no fear.
0:00:20 > 0:00:25- So who will emerge victorious? - The outcome is uncertain
0:00:25 > 0:00:30- but we can state for a fact that someone will go... BOTH:- Splat!
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Hi. We're...Dick and Dom.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Thank you. And this is Splatalot,
0:00:35 > 0:00:38a clever combination of the words "Camelot" and "splat".
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Ah, so we could have called it Splatcamel.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Look, we've discussed this. I do the thinking stuff.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- You just look at the camera and smile.- Oh.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48So, here we are, atop the moat,
0:00:48 > 0:00:53- looking out onto the majestic Splatcamel course.- Splatalot.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Splatalot course. It's the castle entrance, guarded by the Defenders,
0:00:57 > 0:00:58so it's tough enough.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00But it's also a Time Trial.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Only the six fastest Attackers will make it to the second round.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06There they will face the foam-filled Stockade,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09where two more Attackers will perish, leaving a total of four.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13They get the honour of navigating the world's messiest obstacle course
0:01:13 > 0:01:16while competing for the coveted Splatalot crown.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Here's today's qualifier.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Our courageous Attackers will begin with the battling barrels.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22But it doesn't get any easier.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25The Slippery Slope leads to the Rolling Mace,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- where our soldiers are guaranteed to get wet.- Not necessarily.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Well, it hardly matters, because the Beastly Battleaxes are next.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- You're beastly.- Followed by the Rope Bridge of Disaster.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- You're disastrous. - And the Perilous Pole Vault.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- You're...Polish.- What?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Anyway, the long, tall and short of it is that they're doomed.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44You can be so negative at times.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And they're even more doomed now, because here come today's Defenders.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51She likes flower arranging and skipping in sunlit meadows.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I am Knightriss!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Next, the fragrantly named Crocness.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Half-human, half-croc, I'm all danger.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01She's lovely when you get to know her, and so is Shaiden,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03whose favourite colour is pink.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- You keep coming.- And we'll keep knocking you down.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Ahh. They actually sound really nice.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Course they're not. I was joking.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16They only want to make the Attackers' lives as tough as possible.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Feel so foolish.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19I love grapes!
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Our first Attacker is Ivanka. She plays the trombone,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24so Dick has decided it would be helpful
0:02:24 > 0:02:26if he provided a musical accompaniment.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yes, here we go, are you ready?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31LOW BRASS NOTE
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Barrels and brass instruments, my favourite combination.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38You can stop now, otherwise you'll put her off.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41BRASS NOTES No, apparently I can't stop.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43This looks more promising.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46BRASS PARPS
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Do you realise how annoying that is?
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Ooh, yes.- Time for Ivanka to prove himself on the battleaxes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Yes, but they're one of the toughest obstacles out there.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00No, look. Looks like she was born to do this.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Born to step awkwardly across two oversized axes and fall into a moat?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Cue trombone. - LOW NOTE
0:03:07 > 0:03:09She may be down, but she's not out yet.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I'm fine!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- But will she be after Shaiden's finished with her?- I can do this.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Yes, I'm sure you can.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- No, you can't.- Where's me trombone?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20FEEBLE NOTE
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Never mind. There's still time for a big finale...
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Garibaldi. That is a splat, slam or a slap.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Whatever it is, she's finished.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32With a time of 8 minutes 34, I think she might be.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Time to meet Sarah.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I love mountain goats!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Good. This is more like it.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Yep... Oh, no, she loses her footing.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46It's probably the round, slippery barrels and all that water.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Nothing gets past you, Einstein.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51How's your aim, Knightriss?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53And very little gets past that giant pea cannon.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57That's right, Sarah. Scream, girl, scream. You'd better be scared!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Officially it's a Splatzooka. The usual welcome from Knightriss,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03and the intimidation has obviously worked.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07It's been a brave effort so far, and a very tired Sarah gets to the end,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11but it doesn't get easier. There's Shaiden with the water cannon.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Shaiden, stop. Can't you see poor Sarah's spent?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Oh, thank you. Ohhh...custard creams.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20It's not a bad time, but it is a bad dance.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Can Shaqeel do better?
0:04:22 > 0:04:23I like to cook!
0:04:23 > 0:04:27He also loves video games but hates vegetables.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Well, he's vegetating now. Come on, Shaqeel!
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- He's a sitting target.- Standing target.- Standing target.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36And Knightriss has got him.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39The giant pea cannon does its job,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and Shaqeel gets quite a splatting.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Such skill!
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Shaqeel needs to remember this is against the clock.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Oh, and another direct splat from Knightriss.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52He really needs to get out of there.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Come on, Shaqeel, move, move, move!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I'm not sure I can watch any more of this.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00This poor guy's really being picked on. That's better.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- That's it, one step at a time. - Foot on, and...
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Oh, in he goes!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Right, I definitely can't watch any more of this.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Can we go to the finishing line?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14OK, 11:49. Let's just say he will be
0:05:14 > 0:05:16very lucky to qualify with that time.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Anything can happen on Splatalot.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I love raspberries!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- OK, then, Tariq. - HE BLOWS RASPBERRY
0:05:22 > 0:05:27You can't put him off. Look at him dance across those barrels. Oops!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Look at that, is that the splat dance?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Let's just say dance can take many forms.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36What's he doing now? One, two, three, one, two, three...
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Not exactly Swan Lake, that, was it?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41You're all mine now.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Well, Tariq will need some fancy footwork here.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Looking good, looking good... Ooh!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Wang-twacker!- Again, again! - You are evil.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- But he recovers and puts in a good time.- Shame about the dance.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It's not Strictly Come Dancing, it's Strictly Come Splatting.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Anyway, here's Denver.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I am a ladies' man!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03That's as may be, but what will you make of our lovely ladies?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06You haven't gotten very far, Denver.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Because the ladies are slowing him down, that's why.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Denver's got their attention for all the wrong reasons
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- but he crosses and survives! - Shailen, we need you!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18The girls are ganging up on him.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20And Denver makes his first mistake.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22But he recovers.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Onto the battleaxes... and into the dirty brew.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27The classic slip-splash there.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30While he recovers, let's move on to Michael.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34I'm a basketball and I'm gonna bounce all over this course!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Bounce all over this course?- Yes, I reckon he will.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- You mean that in a bad way, don't you?- Watch out, Michael.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44And he's been hit. Knightriss using that Splatzooka to full effect.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47It says here Michael's into magic.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Let's see some magic on the Rolling Mace.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Ooh, spanking flanker!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Not one of his best tricks. Now you see him...now you don't.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Hang on. He really has disappeared.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Either that or he's doing the rest of the course underwater.- Where is he?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Oh, there he is. And not a bad time.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08But another silly little victory dance.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21That's the time to beat, but no-one's completely safe,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23as only the fastest six go through.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25And there are six more to come.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29The brave warriors will be overcoming the odds, taking some hard knocks
0:07:29 > 0:07:31and defying those Defenders,
0:07:31 > 0:07:35with one goal in mind, the prized Splatalot crown.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40What have been your highlights so far?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42The Defenders can do no wrong for me.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- The more splats the better.- What is it with you and the Defenders?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Well, I've always wanted to be one. - Oh, right, OK.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51So what dark and dastardly name would you give yourself?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Colin.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Colin the Defender?- Yes.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58So we'd have Skabb, Thorne, Ballista, Crocness, Tinkor,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Gildar, Knightriss and...- Colin.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Yeah. Back to Planet Earth. We're halfway through round one.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Six Attackers have run the course, six to come. We are on a knife-edge.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Tell them why, Colin. - We're on a knife-edge
0:08:10 > 0:08:14cos only the six fastest Attackers will qualify for the next round.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Speed is everything!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Thank you. Here's a reminder of the times posted so far.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Colin!
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Back to the course.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'm as sweet as apple pie!
0:08:33 > 0:08:37As sweet as apple pie and apparently very scared of sharks,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Kristen gets us under way.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41The thing about sharks is they're only scary if you're near water.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Oh, look, water.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46You say you're sweet as apple pie, do you?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Well, I don't like cooked fruit.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52A fruit-based put-down from Knightriss, but will it work?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Well, yeah, looks like it has.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Everything is padded on this course, including knobbly bits here, here,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01here and here.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- But what a splat.- More of a knee-knee-head-back splat.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Knee-knee-head-back-splat. Knee-head- knee-knee-knee-head-back splat.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Knee-knee-head-back-splat.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Knee-knee-head-head...
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Embarrassing.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I like sushi!
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Kayla also likes music and is double-jointed.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Nice technique on the first battleaxe
0:09:23 > 0:09:25but she's got stuck on the second!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27The only way is down.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Yes, but Kayla is not a quitter.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31At least, I think she isn't. Er...
0:09:33 > 0:09:37No, she isn't! Kayla's on the Perilous Pole Vault, and...
0:09:37 > 0:09:39she's made it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Ah...no...I don't think she has, mate.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47I...I'm sure she'll do it. That's it. Good old girl, go on.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Oh...
0:09:49 > 0:09:51SHE WAILS
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Well, if she does make it we'll let you know. Yes!
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Moving on to our next contestant. Here we have Samantha.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I love zebra stripes!
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Samantha is into '80s music and ants.- Why?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- I don't know, you ask her.- OK.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Oi! Samantha! Why are you into '80s music and...
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Oh, and splat.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13That was your fault for shouting.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17If you look closely, you'll see it's another deadly splat from Knightriss.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Oooh!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21She's scary in slo-mo.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Back to Kayla. How's she doing?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Well, she hasn't given up, I'll say that much for her.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Come on, Kayla. Hang in there, old girl.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33OK, let's give Liam a friendly splat. Welcome.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'm going to dominate this course!
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Liam says he wants to be a pilot but he's scared of birds.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Don't slip!- To be honest it's Knightriss he should be scared of.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Look at that, a double splat. Oooh!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Double ouch!
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Onto the Battleaxes now. He's just checking...
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Yes, Liam, Knightriss is still there.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Halfway across the axes now, and...ooh!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00And on top of that landing Liam still has Knightriss to contend with,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02not that Shaiden seems to care.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Ooh, crunchy!- Splatacious!
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Not again. It's almost like he believes he can fly.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- What, like this?- Very good.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Well...he can't. Sorry, Liam.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Oh, guess who.- Kayla?- Kayla.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Somehow she's still holding on.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Why doesn't she just give up?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24This is why. Because she can do it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Come on, Kayla. Yes! She's made it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I never doubted her for a minute, but will that time be good enough?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32We'll have to wait and see.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Our 11th Attacker, Cole, is now ready on the course.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Asian warrior!
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Cole can burp the alphabet. - I like him already.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I hope you're thirsty.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Shailen looking menacing as usual and Cole steps onto the bridge...
0:11:45 > 0:11:48The water cannon puts him off his stride.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Yes, here's Cole on the rope bridge catwalk.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Strike a pose, Cole. I've never seen so much splatulence.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Splatulence?- Mm.- Anyway, Cole makes it in at 9:29.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Look at that - not again! Did you teach him that dance?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Shut up! Here's Ashley.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05I love rainbows!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07But does she love barrels?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Well, I think she's doing very well so far. On to the final barrel...
0:12:11 > 0:12:13and off it!
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Oh, I say. She's our most graceful Attacker so far!
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Can I be frank? Grace isn't important, surely.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Grace IS important, and don't call me Shirley.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Right, comedy aside, Ashley continues,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27and heads towards the impossible incline...
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Oh!
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Splurge.- Here's where she forgot to put the brakes on.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34There she goes - gracefully into the moat, and...
0:12:34 > 0:12:36a big fat splurge.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Even so, she's made it in a very respectable time of 6:29.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Well, that's the end of a very exciting first round -
0:12:44 > 0:12:48six Attackers are about to go through and six will go home.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Thoughts?- Oh! Well, I think the all-female Defenders
0:12:51 > 0:12:55covered themselves in glory, and the Attackers in splat-related wetness.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Beautifully put.- Thank you.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59So moving on will be...
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- They'll face the foam-filled Stockade...- New Defenders...
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- And a lot more splatulence! - That word scares me.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Well, after all that action, time for a quick break.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17- Mmm!- What have you got?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Ham.- Oh!- I like ham-a-lot. Ha! What have you got?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Spam! I like Spam-a-lot.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Actually, I can't stand Spam. - I'm vegetarian.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Back to business! Round two beckons,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30and 12 Attackers have been whittled down to six.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Ladies' man Denver is still the fastest so far,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35but '80s girl Samantha and raspberry-loving Tariq
0:13:35 > 0:13:36weren't too far behind.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- Don't forget Kristen.- Kristen, hmm.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Knee-knee-head...
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Er, forget about that. Here's the line-up.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48These are the Attackers who made it through.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51We're about to say goodbye to two of them,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53as only four will survive the Stockade.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55This round is all about hexagons.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58The Attackers make their way across a giant spinning hexagon
0:13:58 > 0:14:01and on to the smaller ones. There, they grab a ladder rung.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Once they've slotted the rungs into their ladders,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06they grab a flag and make their way to the top.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Sounds easy, but there are only four flags,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10the course will be covered in foam,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12and they'll be slimed by the Defenders.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Talking of which, let's add three new Defenders to the mix.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Welcome to Handsomeville,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21population...Gildar.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Joining Gildar will be weapons master Tinkor, and Skabb.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Skabb rules!
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Arr! Rah!
0:14:28 > 0:14:32So here are the remaining Attackers, all focused and ready to go.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Samantha in purple with the green stripe,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37air pilot Liam in blue,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39graceful Ashley in violet,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41ladies' man Denver sporting dark blue,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Tariq in light green,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45and don't forget Kristen in orange!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Don't worry, that's all behind me now.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Besides, she'll be unrecognisable when the foam starts.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- KLAXON - And they're off!
0:14:53 > 0:14:54On to the hexagon.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Those mini-hexagons are spring-loaded, to make it more fun.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Ashley has our first rung!
0:15:04 > 0:15:06After wiping her nose, Kristen has one too.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11The surface is getting slippy and on top of the foam Skabb is adding
0:15:11 > 0:15:13gunge grenades to the mix.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Look!
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Ah, wacky!
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Now that's just showing off.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Doesn't matter - it's a perfect splat on the back for Liam.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Even so, Liam has his first rung.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27However, almost totally unnoticed to anyone,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Tariq has nearly completed his ladder.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Oh, look, Gildar's seeking something out!
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Who do you think has his attention?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Are we all impressed
0:15:37 > 0:15:40at how quickly I went from the foam gun to the water gun?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Isn't that impressive? - Yeah, I was right.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Meanwhile, Skabb's spotted Tariq's progress
0:15:45 > 0:15:47and splatted him with his slime stick.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50You won't see a better slime-stick splat than that anywhere.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Back to the hexagons, and Kristen overshoots dramatically!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Listen out for that landing. Boing! Boing! Boing!
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Crunch!
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Tariq has his flag, and he's off. Remember there are six Attackers
0:16:02 > 0:16:05but only four flags. He climbs to the top,
0:16:05 > 0:16:06and he's through!
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Gildar's up to his tricks again on the frother.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13And Skabb is still splatting! This time it's a perfect splat
0:16:13 > 0:16:16for Ashley. Splat-at-at-at-at-at-at-at!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Did everyone see how fast I was?
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- He's very needy, isn't he? - The slime buckets are out,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24but Denver escapes just in time!
0:16:24 > 0:16:27A lucky escape, because Skabb's having a great game.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Tinkor is now starting to deliver.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Kristen tries to shrug him off but the pressure is mounting.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35She goes for another amazing leap
0:16:35 > 0:16:39but it ends in a fantastic splaaaa-aaat.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42No coming up the ladder without getting slime in the face!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Aaah!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Skabb is such a nasty piece of work. Great to watch, though,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- and he slimes Ashley. - But he missed Denver!
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Skabb! Skabb!
0:16:52 > 0:16:56A schoolboy error from Skabb there, and Denver is also through.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58You're a typical barbarian!
0:16:58 > 0:17:01You're a Viking standing there doing nothing!
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I'm looking handsome on the foam!
0:17:03 > 0:17:04You've got to love him.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07"I've got a headache." Handsome look to the camera.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Ashley now has a flag and is making her way to the top,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13which means there's only one flag left for the others.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17She celebrates! Looks like Liam
0:17:17 > 0:17:18isn't too far behind.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Kristen, however, is still hitting those hexagons,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23and now wants to take out a camera too!
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Now, that is an expensive splat.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- That's embarrassing. - Yeah, that didn't work.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Liam now has the last flag.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33He's also on his last legs, bless him.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Samantha belly-flops on to a hexagon,
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- just for fun.- And Liam joins the other successful Attackers!
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Which means Samantha and Kristen are out, but it was a clean contest.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45And there they are.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Tariq, Denver, Ashley and Liam -
0:17:47 > 0:17:50the Splatalot crown is just one step away.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52So, any thoughts?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Jam doughnuts.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- No, about the second round.- Oh!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I'd never normally hear a bad word said about the Defenders,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- but if I'm frank...- I don't like it when he's frank.- ..they're rubbish!
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Arguing amongst themselves and letting the Attackers off the hook.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08But that will only make them more determined in the finale.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Here's a taste of what's to come in that finale,
0:18:11 > 0:18:16the round where we reveal the new king or queen of Splatalot!
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's Splat Time!
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Why don't we just take a moment to celebrate some classic splats?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Don't slip!
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Such skill!
0:18:49 > 0:18:51And that's why we call it Splatalot!
0:18:51 > 0:18:54So, 12 in the Splatalot Moat, halved it to six in the Stockade,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- then subtracted two leaving us with...?- 27?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58- Four.- Ah.- In the grand finale.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01And here are some Splat Stats about those four.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Denver was ahead of Tariq after round one,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05but Tariq finished first in round two.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Might be a personal battle emerging there.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Poor old Liam finished last in both rounds.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13But he's in the final and still in with a chance.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16And Ashley completes that all-important line-up.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19On to the toughest course yet - and up against all six Defenders.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24Skabb, Knightriss, Tinkor, Crocness, Gildar and Shaiden!
0:19:24 > 0:19:25And then the course itself.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Not exactly a walk in the park.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30The Attackers slide down the pole into a mud bath.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Then they'll make their way over the Slippery Slides
0:19:33 > 0:19:34and on to the Titanic Teeters.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Scramble over the Barrier Of All Barriers,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40hop across the Lily Pads, scale the Water Wall
0:19:40 > 0:19:42and Capture the Crown.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44So here are the Attackers -
0:19:44 > 0:19:46a determined-looking Liam, and Ashley,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- and Tariq, and Denver. Looking determined.- Great commentary.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Gildar! What's on your face?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Gildar has grown a "mistoush".
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Look at that crumb-catcher.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Alisha!
0:19:57 > 0:19:58KLAXON
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Down the pole and into the mud. - But Shaiden is there
0:20:01 > 0:20:02to clean them up with foam.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Which helps make these Slippery Slides even slippier and slidier.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09The slides are being pelted with foam by Gildar!
0:20:09 > 0:20:11He could use it to shave his mistoush off.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Oh, and a lovely slip-slide-splat there from Denver!
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Fatty bum-bums.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22The Attackers now making their way up the Teeters,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- but Ashley is struggling and... - Take it away, sound effects.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Pythagorean whacker.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Tariq, looking good, but oh!
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- Gildar showing no mercy with the slime stick.- I want one of those.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- A slime stick?- No, a mistoush.- Oh!
0:20:38 > 0:20:41That looked like a fall, but in slow motion,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43the low-tech arrow, and thwack! An ankle-biter.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Back to the battle between Gildar and Tariq.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50And Tariq's coming off second best to the Viking of Vanity.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58This is a tight race, all four Attackers neck and neck,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01but Tariq makes another run for it... Oh! Lucky splatter.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04This time he hangs on. Maybe his luck is changing.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Gildar does his worst, but Tariq shrugs him off.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11And he's even taunting Gildar! Well played, Tariq!
0:21:12 > 0:21:15O-ho, but it doesn't get any easier!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Skabb just takes over where Gildar left off.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Denver now trying to catch up, but Tariq is still well ahead.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Trouble is he's getting attention from all the Defenders.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Liam doesn't need the Defenders, the Teeter is hard enough on its own.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Crocness is now pulling out all the splats, Tariq definitely struggling.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Bogies!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40We don't do that any more. They are Goo Grenades.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43They're bogies. Splatalot's turned into Snotalot.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Tinkor looks happy at his work.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49The other Attackers are now way behind,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52but Knightriss still has Tariq in her sights!
0:21:52 > 0:21:56What a splat! Accurate and evil, leaving Tariq with a snotty back.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59But it's not stopping him from climbing the Water Wall.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02This tournament is almost over...
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Yes! Ladies and gentlemen, there is a new king in town.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Make the most of it, Tariq.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10What is that thing on your face?!
0:22:10 > 0:22:13It's a traditional Viking rite of passage.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15It means I'm entering manhood.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- Ow!- Nice on, Tariq.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19King Tariq.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Sorry, Your Splatness. - It's been quite quite a tournament.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Have you got any more interesting Splat Stats?- Yes!
0:22:25 > 0:22:27We've had 248 oofs,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29127 ker-plops,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31only 58 b-b-b-b-bs,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33our first ever um-zing-quarter-doink,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35and...oh. How do you pronounce that.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Oh, yes. That's... - BLOWS STREAMER
0:22:37 > 0:22:3823 of those.
0:22:38 > 0:22:4041... ROAR
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Eh?- You know, remember. We had onion bhajis for lunch.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46And finally, 1,283 splats.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48That's an awful lot of splats!
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Well, Dom, that's why they call this show... BOTH:- Splatcamel.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Here's Splat of the Day.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58It's straight out of the manual, this one.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Final round, and the pressure is on.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03The way Ashley topples off that giant wooden pole,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- you'll never forget that skill. It's like...- Falling off a log?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Thanks a lot, mate. You ruined my punchline.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12No, no, I was just saving you from the embarrassment.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Aww. Cheers, mate. Mwah!
0:23:14 > 0:23:18So after all the thrills and spills, celebrate the skills of King Tariq.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20He danced through the first round...
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Was the first to capture a flag and climb out of the Stockade...
0:23:23 > 0:23:24And after a bit of teetering,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27he overcame the Defenders and claimed the Crown,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29which is what it's all about.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Well, that's all for now.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33But remember, we are trained professionals!
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Please do not try to present Splatalot at home. It's our job.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Yeah, get your own show!
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Take it away, Your Majesty.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- I'm the king of the castle! - Come on, Tariq,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- put some effort into it! - You know what this deserves?
