0:00:02 > 0:00:04Welcome to Splatalot, a mythical medieval place,
0:00:04 > 0:00:06where 12 young warriors, brave and true,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09take on a horde of deadly defiant defenders
0:00:09 > 0:00:12to see who will emerge victorious to lay claim to the Splatalot crown.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16The outcome is uncertain, but one thing is for sure...
0:00:16 > 0:00:18the attackers are about to experience their greatest challenge
0:00:18 > 0:00:22on the toughest obstacle courses in the kingdom.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26There will be scrapes, knocks and, yes, there'll be lots of splats!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Hello! We are Dick and Dom
0:00:31 > 0:00:35and welcome to the one, the only, the unmistakeable
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Spatula!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- Splatalot.- Splatalot.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44The show that asks 12 young attackers if they've got what it takes
0:00:44 > 0:00:48to conquer three of the most demanding courses ever created.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51They will be tested physically, but will they cope mentally?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53It's that combination of fear and fun
0:00:53 > 0:00:55which makes each course so exciting.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And here are those courses in more detail.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59The first challenge is to cross the moat.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02The six fastest attackers will survive and move on to...
0:01:02 > 0:01:06The Stockade, this time sporting the wheel of certain doom...
0:01:06 > 0:01:08That's what a wheel of certain doom looks like.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Then only the top four will progress to the final course
0:01:12 > 0:01:15where one of them will wear that crown!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Do you like it? I was after the mock-castle effect!
0:01:17 > 0:01:22Lovely! Well, the moat challenge starts with the baffling barrels.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Hop, skip and splat across these
0:01:23 > 0:01:27and you're one slippery slope away from the terrifying rolling mace.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30It's a mace, it rolls, and I think it's terrific!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33The impossible incline leads to the unbalancing battle-axes.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Then the bridge of disaster
0:01:36 > 0:01:39take you to the perilous pole vault
0:01:39 > 0:01:41which carries you over the moat to the castle entrance
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and the finishing line.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Tricky enough, but it's just about to get trickier!
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Here are today's defenders. Looks like they haven't been fed again.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51In the moat challenge, he's a little tinker... It's...
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Being half crocodile can make her snappy. It's...
0:01:56 > 0:01:59And an unlikely name for an evil villain, it's...
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Welcome to Splatalot!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Watch your backs!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08So the course is set and the defenders look ready for battle.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Time for our gutsy attackers to give everything they've got.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13First up is Aileen.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I love purple carrots!
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Now, that is a scary battle cry!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21At the very least it could baffle the defenders!
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Sadly the only baffling out there is from the baffling barrels!
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Get you with your baffling barrels!
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Where is she?- There you are!- Here she is! How are you doing, mate?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Nice aim, Crocness!- I know.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36The defenders already have their sights set on Aileen.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Accurate and cruel, top marks!
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Purple carrots!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Purple carrots again! Does she know she's saying it out loud?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Come on, Aileen!
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Purple carrots!
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Do we have a worthy challenger? - Do we? Where?
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Maybe she's visualising the carrots to get her around the course.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Well, it's not working.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Here we go!
0:03:01 > 0:03:03There he is, Tinkor!
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Tinkor doing his best to knock Aileen down, but she's through
0:03:07 > 0:03:09and on to the bridge.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13She's not taking any of this lying down! Actually she is, bless her!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Just the perilous pole vault to go now.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Limbers up, she's ready...
0:03:18 > 0:03:21and she's off...and not over!
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Wrong way, sweetheart!
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Maybe she'll use a different technique this time.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Here she goes! Looks like she's gone for the sliding down the pole
0:03:29 > 0:03:32and into the leek-and-potato soup technique!
0:03:32 > 0:03:35So what does the action replay tell you, then, Dick?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Well, it generally tells me what's happened, Dom!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Thank you! So, Aileen manages a respectable...
0:03:40 > 0:03:42That...that...that...victory dance.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Our next attacker is Marlin.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47This, this is nothing!
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Well, you can't knock his confidence or enthusiasm...
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Down he goes!
0:03:54 > 0:03:56And if that doesn't knock it, then nothing will!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00And he's battling on. Well done, Marlin.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Slippy, slippy, jumpy...
0:04:03 > 0:04:05holdy-onny...splashy...
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Well, coverage from all angles,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11but, however you look at it, he's got oxtail soup all over it.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Can Marlin handle the perilous pole vault or will he go for a Burton?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Oh, yes, not bad at all!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19But 1 second behind Aileen.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Still very early days and ten more attackers to go.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Next up, it's Jennifer.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I'm a klutz!
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- What's a klutz?- You change gears with it. It's next to the brake pedal.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Thanks.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Oh, that's a backa-wacka-knacka! Yeah, I felt that!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Not as much as she did!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40She's putting on a brave face, though!
0:04:40 > 0:04:41How are you doing there?
0:04:41 > 0:04:46- Eeeek!- Oh, you scared me. You scared me every time!
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Classic! Nice to her face and then it's splat in her face.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51She's recovered and she's made it across the rolling mace.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55She's too nice. Let's move on to our next attacker, Arnay!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I believe I can fly!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Well, I believe you're heading for a fall, my son!
0:05:00 > 0:05:01That's the spirit!
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Hey... Down! I believe you're right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12Another corker of a fall. The attackers taking some hard knocks.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13It's so slippy out there.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16There he is, putting his slippers back on. Slippers, get it?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19And over the bridge.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23There he goes, he slips again. Maybe he's wearing his slippers.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- I just said that.- I know. It wasn't funny the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Jennifer over twice as fast as Arnay.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32And he could be in trouble with that time.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35So, then, what's your favourite obstacle?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37The rolling mace or the battle-axes?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Oh, definitely the rolling axes.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I'm really tall!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Oh, dear, Janice is struggling.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Any uplifting words of encouragement?- Next!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48You know!
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Erblin's also struggling on the mace.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Splat!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Both Janice and Erblin getting splatted like there's no tomorrow.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58That's lots of splats.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01On to the battle-axes. Erblin taking his time.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Must have a strategy.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05And, yes, Erblin choose to just lower himself
0:06:05 > 0:06:09safely and steadily into the water. Very good!
0:06:09 > 0:06:10What will Janice try?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Looks like a leaping lollipop lizard!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16That's different to Erblin's approach! Must have hurt.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19We're awaiting a sign that she's OK. Give us a sign.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20- I'm OK.- Thank you.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22So halfway through round 1...
0:06:25 > 0:06:28That is the time the remaining six attackers have to beat.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Remember, only the six fastest go through to round 2.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34But the course is proving very tricky
0:06:34 > 0:06:37which is why we'll be seeing a lot more of this.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38It's a splat fest!
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Splat!- Are you going to spend the rest of the show over there?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46No, son, I'd like to proudly present a new defender.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Pants and socks man, protector of the crown!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57In case you're wondering, this is still Splatalot.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01So far six attackers have taken the moat challenge...
0:07:01 > 0:07:04The all-important time to beat is Arnay's.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Don't forget they've still to deal with the defenders.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Guarding the moat, we have Tinkor, Crocness and Kookaburra.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15By the end of this round only the six fastest attackers will survive.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17So it's still all to play for.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20It's anyone's game, and here's the next attacker, Matt.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21My name's in the Bible!
0:07:24 > 0:07:27You've got a little food on your face. Thought I'd wash it off!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Does anyone else find Kookaburra irritating?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32No, he's a barrel of laughs. Don't drink that beefy broth, Matt!
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Matt now at the mace.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Matt still at the mace.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40And he makes a move...
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- which doesn't work.- Yes, Matt's heading for another mouthful.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47But it's very tasty! It tastes like chicken!
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Well, the battle-axes have proved tricky today.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Matt goes for a new approach, the belly hop, and it's worked.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Tinkor stops him on the bridge! - Matt goes splat!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Tinkor there, a little man of few words. A bit like myself.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02He lets his splats do the talking,
0:08:02 > 0:08:07but Matt just qualifies, knocking Arnay out of the contest.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Next we have Ala.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Do you know a vet? Because these puppies are sick!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15What? Her puppies aren't well?
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Now, apparently Ala is a keen scuba diver, which could come in handy.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Don't spend too long in that water! - Don't spend too long in that water!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Is that all you've got for me? - What have you got?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31There she goes up the slippery slope. Do not slip!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33There she goes again! She must really love it in there!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Don't think she had much choice. Ooh!
0:08:36 > 0:08:40An attacker is actually attacking a defender!
0:08:40 > 0:08:41I hate to say it, but I'm impressed.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Feeling sinky? Here comes sinky!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Tinkor now getting positively chatty
0:08:48 > 0:08:50and once again his water cannon doing the trick.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Don't drink the water, whatever you do!
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Well, despite Tinkor's efforts, she completes the course in...
0:08:57 > 0:08:58That means Matt's a goner.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Here's Megan.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I talk a lot!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06She talks a lot. Well, that's tough, cos it's not Talkalot,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09it's Splatalot! Oh, barra-wanga-tanga-wanga!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12You can talk the talk, but can you splat the splat?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- You know you're talking out loud, don't you?- How you doing, mate?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18My name's Kookaburra and I'm just here for you!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20LAUGHTER
0:09:20 > 0:09:21I'm so sorry!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- That's so mean! - I know, that is very mean,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26but so is your outfit!
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Oh, what a combination!
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Lethal accuracy from Crocness and scathing put-downs from Kookaburra!
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Yes, the poor girl is shell-shocked and doesn't last very long.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Let's move on.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Our next attacker is George.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43This is for Albania!
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Here's George at the impossible...
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Hey!
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Is it possible he doesn't know it's impossible?- Possibly.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55He made it over the battle-axes and the bridge
0:09:55 > 0:09:58so now he just has the perilous pole vault to go.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Here he goes! Big, strong, brave man.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Go on!
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Well, I'm sure he would rather us see
0:10:03 > 0:10:07how well he did on the battle-axes and the bridge, but no...!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Defenders!
0:10:09 > 0:10:11That was you, Tinkor! Air high five!
0:10:12 > 0:10:17George and Megan have decent times, and maybe the best is yet to come.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Or maybe not. What about Stephanie?
0:10:19 > 0:10:20I have a mouth guard.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Well, that's just about the most sensible thing I've heard all day.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I saw her for a second there.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Stephanie is struggling with the slippery slope...
0:10:29 > 0:10:31so what's she going to make of the rolling mace?
0:10:31 > 0:10:36- Oh, Stephanie...down she goes. - She's down again!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39They say I'm good with magic, you know, make people appear.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I can make them disappear too, Tink. I'll show you.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45On the weekend, I was just chilling in my nest and...
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- boom! - Kookaburra's just toying with her.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- It's not nice to watch. - Well, don't, then.- I have to.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Now, after a series of splats, splishes and splashes,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Stephie is OK, but has decided she can't finish the course.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- I hope you're happy with yourself. - Nothing to do with me.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Here's the last attacker, Rob, AKA Roberto Sanchez.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07The beach is that way!
0:11:07 > 0:11:10That's as may be, Roberto, but the course is this way!
0:11:10 > 0:11:14And doesn't he know it? He's just sprinted over the barrels!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Slippy, slippy...
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Crocness doing her best to slow him down.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Keep going, Rob.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23And there he is, just as fast over the rolling mace.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Is this really the same course everyone else was struggling with?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29On to the battle-axes and again making it look so easy!
0:11:29 > 0:11:31He even does a little bit of showboating!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Our hi-tech equipment reveals an impressive drop of 10 feet!
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Here, can I splatustrate something?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Look!- It's not a toy! I'm going to tell if you don't give it back.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42They said I could have it for the weekend, but you broke it!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44All right, back to Rob.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46He makes it over the bridge and just the pole vault to go.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Oh, and finally something he's struggling with.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52But, no, it's only a minor setback. Good lad.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- That is a truly amazing time.- The defenders should be embarrassed.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59But all credit to Rob who is through!
0:11:59 > 0:12:02So, some pretty impressive attackers through to round 2.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04But the defenders will be eating humble pie,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08followed by a slice of awkward silence tart!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Here's the leader board.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24So, they may be the best, but is that good enough for round 2,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26where'll come face to face with the stockade...
0:12:26 > 0:12:30plus a new bunch of deadly defenders, intent on slowing them down?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Have you decided who you'd like to see win, then?- Yes, I have.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Aileen! Come on, Aileen!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Well, I'm backing Marlin.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42He's around my height, therefore...have at you!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Now, there was no need for that, was there?- No.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Well, wipe it, then.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- Who's through to round 2?- I forget. I've got pie on my head.- Oh, yes...
0:13:00 > 0:13:01- Got it?- Got it.- Good.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- What happened to Colin?- Colin? - Yeah, he was good, Colin.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08We didn't have any attackers called Colin. There's never been a Colin.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- Tell them about round 2. - Ah, yes, it's the stockade.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12And the attackers have to escape from it.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I call it escape the stockade.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Did you think that up on your own? - Yeah.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21It's now on my head.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Welcome to the stockade! - See? Got that bit right.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26The centrepiece is the wheel of certain doom
0:13:26 > 0:13:29which will slow down the attackers as they gather their kit.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33The kit is made up of ladder rungs of various lengths
0:13:33 > 0:13:35which slot into ladders waiting on the other side.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37You then need a flag and if you carry it up the ladder,
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- you're through to the finale.- With only four flags and six attackers,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43it's going to end in tears for two of them.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47They might all be crying when they see the next gang of defenders.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Well, what a charming bunch, although Thorne looks a bit mardy!
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Come on, mate, cheer up.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Now, for added cruelty, the attackers have to remain strapped
0:14:03 > 0:14:06to the spinning wheel until they hear the claxon.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- This makes them nice and giddy. - Glad I didn't have any lunch!
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Get ready for foam!
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- Like a big washing machine.- Apart from the contestants, foam guns
0:14:23 > 0:14:27and TV cameras, yes, it is! And they're off!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Get ready, attackers!
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Erblin... struggling at the wheel there,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37but Megan is the first to break free with a rung.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Still a long way to go, though.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46A bit of argy-bargy there, but I'm sure they like each other really.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52And Knightriss using the foam stick to great effect there.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57And Erblin is ambling and scrambling at the top of the wheel
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- and now he's on his way back down to the bottom.- He's splat too!
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Thorne now starting to make his mark on Marlin.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09That's it, hang on for dear life, attacker!
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Here's Rob. He was the favourite after round 1,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13but now he's not looking too confident.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Maybe he needs to remember he is also...
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I still don't know what that means.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Well, Erblin is consistent.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26He's still taking the knicky-knocks!
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Would you like to try one of my slime balls?
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Knock it off, you lovebirds! We have attackers to take care of!
0:15:34 > 0:15:35This happens too often.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Defenders start bickering and let attackers off the hook.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Try telling that to Jennifer.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42She's getting well and truly slimed!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Oh, Aileen takes a knicky-knock to the helmet there.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Will that affect her? She's struggling to get her first rung in.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Come on, Aileen!
0:15:58 > 0:16:01The wrong rungs in the wrong ladders. Do you suspect cheating?
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Yes, I do. This will become known as laddergate!- Confusing.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Well, the defenders are back on track, foaming and slime-balling
0:16:09 > 0:16:12like foaming slime-ballers. The splat rate is off the chart.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Erblin has his last rung in place, but Mr Sanchez has also caught up,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20and is trying a new tactic.
0:16:20 > 0:16:26Well, he's not getting anywhere, but at least he's taking out the others.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28So no-one's getting anywhere fast.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Yes, but they're getting nowhere in a very entertaining way.- Right!
0:16:33 > 0:16:36So which attacker will be first to grab a flag?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38This one's getting away!
0:16:39 > 0:16:44The defenders have targeted him, but it's too little, too late.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- He's the first through. - Knightriss is fuming and foaming,
0:16:46 > 0:16:50she's really taking this out on the attackers.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55But ambling Erblin is an ambler no longer.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57He's the second one through which means two flags remain.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00And the remaining contestants are losing it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04There's a scramble for the flags, but it's all too frantic and foamy!
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Well, Marlin's got a grip and now he's got a flag.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11He's one ladder away from victory.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14And so too is Jennifer!
0:17:14 > 0:17:16She's taken the last flag.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- Marlin celebrates, but he's holding the flag upside down.- That's treason!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Great! First laddergate, now flag-gate!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Aileen and Megan are still trying to finish their ladders...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35But it's all too late as Jennifer reaches the top.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37There we have it, our four successful attackers!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39And all the flags are the right way up.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Which means it's bye-bye to Megan and Aileen.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48For the second time today, Rob has finished on top.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50But that will mean nothing if he fails the next round,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52because it's...
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Purple carrot time?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57No, crunch time.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59It isn't even purple.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Yes, the course gets trickier, the defenders get meanier,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06and the splats get splattier! I like it!
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Aw!- Down he goes!
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Boom!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Shall we get ready?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Doesn't get better than this, does it?- Too right.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Although I'd like to think the Splatalot grand finale
0:18:58 > 0:18:59will be a slightly bigger spectacle
0:18:59 > 0:19:03than two blokes with fake taches taking cover in couple of dustbins!
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Fair point. OK, so here are the final four.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09They have the honour of competing for the Splatalot crown,
0:19:09 > 0:19:10but only one of them will succeed.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Trying to stop them at all costs will be all six defenders.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- How many?- All six.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18OK, Gildar and Skabb have come out to play alongside...
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Thorne, Tinkor, Knightriss and Crocness.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25What a lovely bunch. And this is what they'll be defending.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29It's the obstacle course of obstacle courses. Only 1 of our 4 finalists
0:19:29 > 0:19:32will finish and claim the crown.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35They all start at the pole drop, then it's into the funky foam
0:19:35 > 0:19:37and over the terrible tottering teeters.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39The bouncy buoys are next
0:19:39 > 0:19:42which lead to the water wall and the crown of Splatalot.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Here's how they line up.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Rob in blue, Erblin in green,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Jennifer in purple and Marlin in orange.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53We defend, you attack, take that back!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56The defenders are really charged up now.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- KLAXON - There goes the klaxon.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Down the pole and into the foam.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Oh, and a nasty helping of slime from Tinkor there.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05How does the slime taste?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08They make their way to the teeters. First to totter is...
0:20:09 > 0:20:11..splooshy!
0:20:12 > 0:20:14..splashy!
0:20:15 > 0:20:16..slimy!
0:20:17 > 0:20:18..oops!
0:20:18 > 0:20:20All four really making hard work of this.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23You could spend ages trying to describe this show,
0:20:23 > 0:20:27but these pictures say it all, really.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- Actually quite poetic in its own way. - Mmm!
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I think that's pushing it a bit.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32No, bear with me.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35If you slow it down and add some classical music...
0:20:35 > 0:20:37CLASSICAL MUSIC
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- What a lovely piece of music. - It's beautiful.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- You won't get past us without a fight!- Skabb is angry, very angry!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58How rude! Totally ruined the atmosphere.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Jennifer really paying for that classical interlude! Oh, da-da-da!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Now, can Roberto Sanchez show them how it's done?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Yes, yes, yes...no.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Well, now here's Jennifer taking it nice and slow...
0:21:11 > 0:21:13and Marlin taking it nasty and fast.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Erblin also going for the fast approach...equally unsuccessful.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23Sorry, Erblin...it doesn't get any better in slow motion.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25But slow definitely working for Jennifer.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Despite Skabb, her sour-faced approach has really paid off.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Attackers! Come out, come out wherever you are!
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Not a good sign when the defenders are so cheerful.- It put Marlin off.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Time for you to let off a little steam!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Don't worry, it's not real steam, but Erblin didn't know that
0:21:41 > 0:21:43and suddenly he's over the barrier.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45That's the fastest he's moved all day.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47You could cut the tension here with a knife
0:21:47 > 0:21:50and eat the atmosphere with a spoon!
0:21:50 > 0:21:52What have you got against forks? Don't be cutlerist!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Now, don't ask me how...- Why...? - I said don't ask me how!
0:22:00 > 0:22:05- I didn't.- But Jennifer is in the lead. She's at the water wall!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08The others have made it to the buoys but it could be too late.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12I think you might be right. She's halfway up! And...
0:22:12 > 0:22:13look...
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- yes, she captures the crown! - Jennifer...
0:22:16 > 0:22:19is the queen of Splatalot!
0:22:19 > 0:22:21JENNIFER SQUEALS
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Oh, she's broke my glasses! That isn't exactly queen-like behaviour!
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- Yeah, a bit weird.- Stop kicking barrels! That's naughty.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- Stop crying!- Yeah, stop crying. - Pull yourself together!
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Pull yourself together! Stop crying!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Yeah, yeah, stop crying!
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Pull yourself together!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39JENNIFER SQUEALS
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- Has she stopped?- Pardon?- What?- Eh?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- I said, "Has she stopped?"- Yes!
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Good.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51Well, who'd have thought runaway success Rob would run out of steam?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53And that Erblin would win the contest?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56He didn't, Jennifer won, but in a way we all won,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58because the splats just kept on coming.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03But one splat stood out from the rest...it's splat of the day.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07She left us early on,
0:23:07 > 0:23:11but Stephanie's contribution will stay with us for ever.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- I hate it! - I love it, it just confuses me!
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Will you get your act together
0:23:18 > 0:23:20and we'll take a look at how Jen became the champion!
0:23:20 > 0:23:22SQUEALING
0:23:22 > 0:23:24I'm a klutz!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37SQUEALING
0:23:37 > 0:23:40So if you missed the show, that was pretty much it in ten seconds.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- One formality remains.- Oh, yes!
0:23:42 > 0:23:48- The changing of the underpants. - No. It's time to raise the flag.- Oh!
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I'm the queen of the castle!
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Good! Now you can go and change your underpants!- Splat!
