0:00:00 > 0:00:02It's Splat time!
0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today, the Splatalot Kingdom invites five pairs of brave best friends to
0:00:06 > 0:00:08go head-to-head with those despicable defenders,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11as they compete to capture the greatest treasure in the land -
0:00:11 > 0:00:13the Splatalot crown!
0:00:13 > 0:00:14That's my best friend, you guys!
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Can the defenders keep the castle safe from the attackers?
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Or will our BFFs overcome every hurdle,
0:00:20 > 0:00:24and ultimately find a true champion to rule this messy kingdom?
0:00:24 > 0:00:26So, who's going to tumble? Who's going to tilt?
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Who's going to teeter? And who's going to go...
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Splat!
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Hello! He's my best mate, Dick.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- He's my best mate, Dom. - And this is Splatalot -
0:00:37 > 0:00:39the messiest kingdom in the land, by far.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Today, we have a special edition for you.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Yes, instead of inviting ten total strangers to take on the kingdom,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47we've gone for the much friendlier approach of asking
0:00:47 > 0:00:48five pairs of best buddies.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51That will leave us in the rare position of crowning two rulers
0:00:51 > 0:00:54at the end of the tournament. But, hey, they're best friends,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56so I'm sure they won't mind sharing.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Three challenges stand between them and that crown,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01and they are far from friendly.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03In the moat challenge, all five teams will attempt to
0:01:03 > 0:01:05complete the course as quickly as possible.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Only the three fastest pairs will advance to our
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Ditch The Dungeon round.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11And the first two teams to escape will move on to
0:01:11 > 0:01:15the Capture The Crown final, where the Splatalot crown awaits.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18The friends that eventually win will thoroughly deserve their victory,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20because those challenges are full of obstacles.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23They certainly are. Here's the moat challenge in more detail.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26The attackers begin with a fling from the splatapult into the moat.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Then they must get up the slippery slope
0:01:28 > 0:01:31and across the terrifying rolling mace, but on guard is the splaken!
0:01:31 > 0:01:34If they survive that, they head down the impossible incline.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Then they have to tackle the beastly battle axes.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39The wobbly bridge of disaster follows, and finally
0:01:39 > 0:01:42the wavering warhead stands between the attackers and the finish line.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Don't forget, both team members have to complete the course,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47and only the three fastest pairs will qualify.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49So, teamwork will definitely come into play here.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Well, they are best mates. Teamwork shouldn't be a problem.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55That might explain why this lot hardly ever work well together.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Yes, it's the defenders.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59"Friendly" is not a term that springs to mind.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02In Round One today we have the barbarian buddy-basher, Skabb.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Then it's Thorne.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I'll be your thorn in your quest for the crown.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- And finally... - I'm Vane.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10That's his name!
0:02:10 > 0:02:11We don't need no best friends.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Don't worry, Thorne, I can't see anyone queuing up.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Down on the course, Skabb's on the splatzooka,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Thorne's on vaporiser, and Vane's on aqualiser.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- BOTH:- Purple penguins named Hermaficula!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Here's our first BFF, Dominique... Hedge pog!
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Now, Vane's switched over to the vile volley,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30and is quick off the mark with his first splat of the tournament.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Success!
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Dominique, how are you? - Oooof!
0:02:34 > 0:02:36No time to find out. Here's Krystal.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Ohbagenie!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Here, I'll give you one simple rule - duck!
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Croky poke!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Krystal, nice of you to join us.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Hey, Dominique, what's the one rule I told you?- Duck.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Well, duck, then!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Bad, bad weekly! - Should have ducked!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52That's it run, run...oh, dear.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Overhandy!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- That was cruel. - What are you most afraid of?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Perhaps barbarians who won't stop talking?!
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Obviously, water!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I'd think the mace roll would be high on the list.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04When you get up, you must face me. Stand up.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- No way!- Look out...
0:03:06 > 0:03:07SPLAKEN!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Well, at least this time, Dominique remembered to duck,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13but that just meant poor Krystal had to face the splaken on her own!
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Stand up! Now look at me!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Don't listen to him! Duck! Oohh!
0:03:17 > 0:03:19And just when you think she's got the hang of it,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Dominique doesn't duck and ends up in the duck pond.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Krystal heads down the incline... Steady. Oh, flump brigade!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27What a top splat!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Ja-making me crazy here. Come on!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Thorne vaporises the girls.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Dominique ignores him and makes it onto the first axe.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36But not for long! Onion-budgie!
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Oh, Dominique nearly took out her best friend there,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40but Krystal just about hung on.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41- This looks better. - Come on, Krys.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43You girls are real supportive of each other.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46It's called "friendship", Vane, you should try it some time.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49But Dominique can't do anything about Krystal's trip to the moat.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52A splat-free bridge of disaster would be handy, but it's not to be!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Better hurry up, the splaken's coming!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Vane steps up the pressure but Kristal is over.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Just the warhead to go. Oh, and Dominique takes a pop at Vane!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Come on, you can do it!
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Yeah, come on, Dominique!
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Almost there. Come on!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07It's quite a struggle, but Dominique eventually makes it over!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09And they complete the course in 11:51!
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Here come Jared and Rajan.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Battle cries are for chumps!
0:04:13 > 0:04:14So, guys, what does that make you?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Hey, Rajan, I heard you're not afraid of anything!
0:04:17 > 0:04:18I'm here to change that.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Oh-oh. - Nice make-up!
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Thank you, thank you.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I see someone put a... Was that an insult?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27That's one-nil to Rajan. Now here's Jared.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- This is great, don't move, OK? - How about you throw it like a man?!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Man?! What is this "man" business, I'm a barbarian.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Rajan's really taunting Skabb, but that could backfire. Hippy finger!
0:04:36 > 0:04:40It does. Rajan slips into the moat, but not before Skabb splats him.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Oh, I see you like dancing, too!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Nice footwork from Jared, there, over the mace.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Now, just, hey... You like this...
0:04:46 > 0:04:47SPLAKEN!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49It's the old Skabb/splaken combo Skabb distracts,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51and the splaken splats!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Yes, very mean, but also very entertaining!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Now what's he up to? - Something to do with his splatzooka.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Jared approaches the wavering warhead.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Rajan's almost over, but his landing is off
0:05:01 > 0:05:03and he slides down into the frothy barber.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05And that slip could cost them valuable time.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Yes, 12:34 might not be fast enough.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09BOTH: Yeah, buddy!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Hey, Kyle, my splatzooka doesn't work,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14so, in the interim, let's do a little beat boxing, shall we?
0:05:14 > 0:05:161, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18KYLE BEAT BOXES
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Kyle, it's against the clock!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Yeah.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Ripper-rapper!
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Oh, ho-ho-ho!
0:05:25 > 0:05:26We're not friends, anymore.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Here's his real buddy, Taylor.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Skillet! - Good splatting technique.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Taylor, are you embarrassed, right now?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Watching your friend getting splatted is
0:05:33 > 0:05:35nothing to be embarrassed about!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Hey, Tay-Tay.- Tay-Tay?- Nice shot.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Tay-Tay tackles the mace roll, but no!
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Nice splat!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Nice? It was splatacular!
0:05:43 > 0:05:47At the battle-axes now. Thorne vaporises Taylor and drizzle waps!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Yes, in all that fog, Taylor never saw the water blast coming.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53But she's back up and striding across the bridge.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Oh, but she slips, and eventually splats.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Yes, the moat beckons once again for Taylor.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00And to add insult to splattery, she gets a mouthful of goo.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02She won't mind, because that's the quickest time so far.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Well, that completes the first half of Round One.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Three teams have finished the course, leaving two more to come.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I think it's even at the moment between the attackers and defenders -
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Kyle and Taylor rounded off the first half in style, but Skabb
0:06:14 > 0:06:17and his best friend, the splaken, produced some excellent splats.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Here's the leaderboard.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Taylor and Kyle are out in front with 7:56, followed by
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Dominique and Krystal and Jared and Rajan, who are in the danger zone.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Yes, if they're going to stay in the tournament,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31they have to hope the next two teams don't beat their time of 12:34.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I don't think they're fast enough, but anything is possible out there.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37All we really know for sure is that there will be splats.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Oh, yes, my friends, there will be splats!
0:06:43 > 0:06:45We also know for sure that Taylor and Kyle
0:06:45 > 0:06:48have already qualified for the next round, Ditch The Dungeon.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51That's right - the three fastest teams make it out of the moat.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54So, with only two more pairs to come, the current leaders
0:06:54 > 0:06:57are automatically guaranteed third place, at least.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Actually, I think Taylor and Kyle
0:06:58 > 0:07:00have done enough to win this round outright.
0:07:00 > 0:07:037:56 doesn't sound that fast, but when you consider that every
0:07:03 > 0:07:06obstacle has to be tackled twice then it's not too shabby at all.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Here's confirmation of all the times posted so far.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Taylor and Kyle have 7:56, Dominique and Krystal have 11:51,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16and Jared and Rajan have 12:34.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18The defenders are back in position.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21So, it's time to welcome our next pair of friends, Mary and Connor.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- BOTH:- We're going to slay this course!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Well, at least, they sound confident!
0:07:25 > 0:07:26You like skating?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Oh, yeah, I was there yesterday.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Mary!- Oh, Mary slips at the sound of her own name!
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Connor!- Skabb tries the same trick on Connor. Evil bee!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Wow! Connor does a 360 spin before splatting into the moat.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Oh, was that a triple-tail-slide with a side-twist?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Oh, yeah, definitely.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Mary! Can you say hello in barbarian?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Ah-uh!
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Hey, that was close.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Mary's language skills impress Skabb, but collie wobble!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Her splatting skills are pretty good, too!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55What do you call it when you fall down when you're ice skating?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57A fail!
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Look out! Ooh!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00This is what we call a splat!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Careful, Connor. Fish-toot!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Double fish-toot!
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Oh, this is amazing first Connor has a full on collision,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09and then Mary is splakened.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Well, it's the splat of the day, for me, so far.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13In fact, it's a double splat of the day!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16It could be the splat of the month! The timing couldn't have been better!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Talking of which, 7:16 is the best time today!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Thorne, do you want to be my best friend?- I'll be your best friend.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Yes! I now have another best friend.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25I mean, you're my first best friend!
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Oh, dear.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28- BOTH:- We're the kings of the castle!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Hey, Noah, I heard you can do voices, yes?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Maybe. - Do mine. Go on, do Skabb.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35On the count of three... One, two, three.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Skabb rules! - That was excellent!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Can someone just splat, please? Thanks, Wyatt.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Hello, my name's Thorne.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43This is how you do Thorne.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47You see? Why don't you step on the mace roll, my friend?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Flunge-wongle!
0:08:48 > 0:08:50More like the face roll!
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Now, can Noah do an impression of an attacker falling in the moat?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Yes, he can, great impression!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Wyatt tries to show his pal how it's done,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59but he falls in just about the same place!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Hey, maybe that's why they're such good friends.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Hey, Wyatt, let's change the colour of your hair, shall we?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Noah's about to fall.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08SPLAKEN!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Just when you think you've seen the splat of the day,
0:09:10 > 0:09:11another one comes along!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Skabb used that distraction technique again,
0:09:14 > 0:09:15and it led to another double-whammy.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I will be the thorn in your impressions.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19What?!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Salmon-ark! - Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Nice to see him so happy in his work.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Thorne keeps sliming. And Wyatt is down.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27It's another impressive splat.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30In fact, it was so good, his right leg nearly patted him on the back.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Do you want to see my impression of Vane?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- Yeah. - Everybody get on the Vane train.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36HE IMITATES A TRAIN
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Erm, that's awful.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Back to the action. Noah makes it over the finish line.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43But the clock's still running until Wyatt crosses. He's over, too.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Stop the clock!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Oh, it's good. 8:42 sees them through to the next round.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51So our three fastest best buddies are Mary and Connor, Taylor and Kyle
0:09:51 > 0:09:53and Wyatt and Noah.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55They are all one step nearer to the crown!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Ta-da! So, Round One is complete, and it had a bit of everything -
0:09:58 > 0:10:01great attacking and sneaky defending,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04but above all, some of the best splatting we've ever seen.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Yes, maybe these best friends are bringing out the best in everybody.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10But their friendships are about to be put to the test again,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12as we challenge them to Ditch The Dungeon.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Before we proceed with the next round,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I would just like to re-enact, if I may, one of my favourite tactics
0:10:20 > 0:10:23from Skabb, along with the help of two of my best friends.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25My little pal, Lionel - hello, Lionel,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28who will be representing the attackers,
0:10:28 > 0:10:29and my big pal,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31who will be representing Skabb.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Agh! Skabb rule number 547.3 -
0:10:35 > 0:10:37how to distract a defender!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Little Lionel, look at me.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42That's it - just keep looking at me,
0:10:42 > 0:10:43whatever you do, don't look at him.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I said, "Don't look at him!"
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Just keep looking at me.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48That's it, good lad,
0:10:48 > 0:10:49nothing will go wrong.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Marvellous. Please don't worry about Little Lionel,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59he's a fully-trained plastic doll.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Now, here's a reminder of the best friends, who've made it so far.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05By the way, that hair really suits you.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Thank you, darling.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11We have Noah and Wyatt, Taylor and Kyle
0:11:11 > 0:11:12and Mary and Connor.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15If they get through the next round, they'll be in the final,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17but first they need to Ditch The Dungeon... Get off!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Here's what they're up against. They start beneath
0:11:19 > 0:11:20the castle walls,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22where they must escape the stockmarket.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Once across the slippery splatwalk, they climb the loathsome ladder.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28The two teams that make it to the top first can claim
0:11:28 > 0:11:29one of two flags.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31But the defenders will be slowing them down
0:11:31 > 0:11:34at all times with a host of slimey weaponry.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Remember, both team members have to get over the finish line.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41And with only two flags, one of the teams won't be making it through.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44This round also signals a changing of the guard for the bad guys,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47so let's meet the new Splatalot defenders.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50First, it's Faetal - she winks a lot. Then it's...
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Madeva!
0:11:51 > 0:11:53She laughs a lot. And finally...
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Kookaburra! - He jokes a lot.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Today is a Splatterday.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Nope, no, it's a Wednesday. It's a Wednesday, today.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Thanks for that, Kook. The attackers are down in the stockmarket.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08In yellow, we have Taylor and Kyle. In blue, we have Mary and Connor.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10And in purple, it's Wyatt and Noah.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Faetal's on the froth-brother, Madeva's un-knotting her hair,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16and Kook is getting warmed up, so we're just about ready.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19And they're off. The teams rush out of the stocks
0:12:19 > 0:12:22and have little trouble getting through the gates.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Onto the splatwalk now, and here comes the froth.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26We're all friends here.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29A friendly welcome from the defenders, but I doubt it'll last.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- Crank-handle!- Oh, that was fantastic! Thank you very much, I do try.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Can Kook match Madeva?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Yes, he can.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Oh, Madeva with some showboating. Tiddle-push.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41As your friend, I'd like you to step back!
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Well, he sounds friendly, but then Kook nudges Mary,
0:12:44 > 0:12:45and she collides into Kyle!
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Oh, they're making new friends, how cute!
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Ha-ha-ha!
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Nothing cute about Kook's defending. It's a cruel poke from the pike,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53and they all return to the splatwalk.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Friendship test - what's your favourite colour?
0:12:55 > 0:12:56- H2 oh, dear.- Is that a colour?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59No, it's a splat. Connor survives, but Mary is back in the sploosh.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Now, who's Kook got his eye on?
0:13:01 > 0:13:02It's Taylor! And she's down.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Kyle tries to catch her, but she's in the fish-toot.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Yes, the slimeball takes her feet from under her,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09and that leads to a dip in the dirty water.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Faetal's spotted Mary. She's at the top and battling with Kook!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15It's a real struggle, but he fends her off, and she's down.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17What a game! One second, Mary's at the top, the next,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20she's bouncing off Taylor into the brew.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Oh, it's a plague, it's a plague.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Look out, attackers, it's the purple plague and it's coming your way!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Well, the plague acts slowly at first,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29but then, one by one, the attackers start dropping.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32And, eventually, they all get infected!
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Yes, once the plague gets you, you go downhill pretty fast.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Purple plague strikes again!
0:13:38 > 0:13:42OK, the first person to get to the top gets to be my best friend!
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Is that supposed to be an incentive?!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45You wouldn't splat your best friend!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47You're not my best friend yet, sweetheart!
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Looks like Kook doesn't want any friends for the moment.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52He sends all of them on a slippy slide back down to the splatwalk!
0:13:52 > 0:13:56It seems his offer of friendship was almost as devastating as the plague!
0:13:56 > 0:13:58But the attackers just keep coming back for more.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Connor, now, follows Mary's footsteps, and grapples with Kook.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05But just like his BFF, he loses out and down he goes.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Check this out, though - what an amazing slide!
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I put it all down to his splatacular skating skills.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Guys, I want to introduce you to my best friend!
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Oh-oh.- He's big, he's green. It's the ball of doom!
0:14:17 > 0:14:20But that's not fair! We've only just had the purple plague!
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Run, corn on the cob!
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Well, Connor had just done that super slide and his reward?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27The ball of doom!
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Faetal's spotted someone - it's Mary.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31And now it's her turn to slide on the splatwalk.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32That was fierce, girl.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Can we be best friends now? - We is best friends. Yes, we is!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38It's a best friends' dance.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40A best friends' dance? Has this been authorised?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Looks like it, they've released the emergency glitter balls.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I often wondered what they were for. Now, I know!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48All these guys are the attackers. You want to meet them?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Oh, my bestie wants to meet you guys. Here we go!
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Ball of doom!
0:14:53 > 0:14:56And, once again, the attackers are left floundering!
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Yes, the doom balls and purple plague have been effective today.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01They've kept the attackers trapped at the foot of the ladder
0:15:01 > 0:15:03for much of this round.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I think that the look on Noah's face sums it up.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08The ball of doom takes him out and he starts a splatalanche!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10It's a pool of friendship at the bottom.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12That was epic!
0:15:12 > 0:15:14It certainly was "epic", Taylor.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Noah now is on the receiving end of a serious shower from Madeva,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18and down he goes.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20That's my best friend, you guys.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Now, surely the attackers can make some kind of impact from here.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24They're almost at the top.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27But Kook's getting ready with the pokey pike again.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29And he uses it on Kyle, who in turn takes out Connor.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Mary resumes her grapple with Kook.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33But, once again, he pushes her away!
0:15:33 > 0:15:35So, who's left on the ladder now?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38It's Wyatt! He's been quiet so far, but might become the first to finish.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40And yes, he's made it!
0:15:40 > 0:15:43But remember his best friend, Noah, has to finish, too!
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Kyle has also finished!
0:15:44 > 0:15:46The defenders need to step up, but Kook's gone missing!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Here come the blues, climbing as a team,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51and they might make it over together!
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Hurry up, Noah!
0:15:52 > 0:15:54And yes, the blues are the first team to finish!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Mary and Connor claim their flag!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Taylor just makes it for the yellows,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00and they are the second team through!
0:16:00 > 0:16:01So, well done to the yellows and blues,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04but that means the purple team must take the slide of shame.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Bad luck to Wyatt and Noah. Sadly for them, their journey is over.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10But the journey for this bunch of flag-waving friends
0:16:10 > 0:16:11is about to continue.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Let's get confirmation of all of that on our leaderboard.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Heading for the final, we have Connor and Mary
0:16:16 > 0:16:18versus Taylor and Kyle.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20What an incredible round that was!
0:16:20 > 0:16:22For a long time, the defenders had the upper hand, especially
0:16:22 > 0:16:25when the purple plague and balls of doom came into play.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27But then the attackers came back strong.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30You've got to feel sorry for Wyatt. He was the first to finish,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32but his best buddy, Noah, was just too far behind.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35I think Mary and Connor got it right,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38by completing the course together - like best friends should.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Well, that friendship is about to be tested to breaking point.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Yes, because their biggest challenge,
0:16:43 > 0:16:44by far, is just around the corner.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Time now to provide you with some vital
0:16:51 > 0:16:53information about the two teams in today's final.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Yes, it's splat-stat time, and for that we need the splat-stat hat.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00The stats for today's tournament are very clear and simple.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Taylor and Kyle have finished second in both challenges -
0:17:03 > 0:17:04a fine achievement.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06But Connor and Mary have finished first -
0:17:06 > 0:17:09both in the moat challenge, and in Ditch The Dungeon.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Therefore, they are the outright favourites.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Well, that couldn't be clearer, but sometimes
0:17:13 > 0:17:16the pressure of being favourite can get to you, plus the final
0:17:16 > 0:17:20has some pretty major obstacles that could upset anyone's game.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Here are our two teams again, in action.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26We have Mary and Connor, who'll be competing against Taylor and Kyle.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27So those are the finalists.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29And this is what they're up against.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32In Capture The Crown, the attackers start by taking a trip to
0:17:32 > 0:17:35the dire mire, where they'll find the barrier of all barriers.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Then they head for the terrifying tees.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Then, they must leap onto the scarygoround,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42climb over the annihilating arm, and land on the gruesome twosome.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44The clobbering cannons are next, then it's a leap onto
0:17:44 > 0:17:47the royal ramps, followed by a climb up the slippery rock wall,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51where the much-coveted Splatalot crown awaits its new rulers.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54But in the final, all six defenders will be on duty.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Our bunch of best buddies look pretty confident, though.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Connor and Mary are in blue, and Kyle and Taylor are sticking with yellow.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Kook and Faetal have splatzookas, Madeva and Skabb have cannon duty,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Thorne's on the vaporisers, and Vane has the aqualiser.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07And they're off!
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Remember, just like before, both team members have to finish to win.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11They wade through the mire.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Ew, what is this?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15The contents of the mire are best kept a secret, Taylor.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17She just beats Connor over the barrier.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Both stop to help their best friends, nice to see,
0:18:20 > 0:18:21but the yellow team clear the barrier first.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Next stop, the terrifying tees.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26BFFs, yo!
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Oh, angry-skenk!
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Kyle gets a double-whammy of a splat,
0:18:29 > 0:18:30and he's teetering on the tees.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Floppy-paradise!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Can Taylor do any better? No.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Teeters, too!
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Here comes Connor. Slippery-blimp!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40His skating skills deserted him this time.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Faetal splats Kyle again,
0:18:42 > 0:18:44but this time he just about manages to hold on.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Oh, all this best friend talk!
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I want to go get my best friend.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I think he's out the back. Let me just get him.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Back to the action - Kyle has made it over the tees!
0:18:53 > 0:18:54What is Kook up to?
0:18:54 > 0:18:55And now Connor's clear!
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Hello, Kook?- What?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Kook, are you there?- Erm.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03I'm not sure where Kook's gone, but he's my best friend.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Scary! Mary clears the tees, but Taylor is down.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Oh, so close!
0:19:08 > 0:19:09OK, Kook, explain yourself.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- It's me! - Sadly, it is. Back to the course.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Mary's at the scarygoround.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16She leaps and she lands.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Kyle needs to make his landing, too.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- And he does! - Check out the slow one.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I don't think Kook's talking about Kyle,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23who's about to splat into the moat.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26No, he's spotted and splatted Taylor, who's still at the tees.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28So it's a double splat for the yellow team.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31But then Mary joins in the fun by falling off the annihilating arm!
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Connor, Mary, what have you guys got in common?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Losing! Haha!
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Harsh, and also untrue, Kook! They're the favourites!
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Connor leaps, but he can't land on the twosome!
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Shame. He'll have to go back and try again.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Now it's Kyle's turn. He leaps, and he holds on!
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Feel the splats!
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Well, I think he's still holding on!
0:19:50 > 0:19:54His BFF, Taylor, has made it to the scarygoround. But... Munchy-toad!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Meanwhile, Kyle's still hanging in there.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Woah! Woah, woah! Sweet attacker of mine!
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Well, his random references often cloud the issue,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05and now Thorne's treating Mary to a dense layer of fog!
0:20:05 > 0:20:08No touching, no touching, no touching!
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Oh, spangly-tat!
0:20:10 > 0:20:13And the cannon, with a little help from Madeva, clobbers Kyle.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Double spangly-tat! Connor gets a clobbering, too!
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- BOTH:- Ah! Da-da-da-da! Ow!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Ooh! Remind me never to shake hands with Skabb!
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Taylor's in the broth again!
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Skabb rules!
0:20:26 > 0:20:27There you go. You may go through.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Yes, Connor, I wouldn't trust them either!
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Thorne slimes Mary, but her best friend has made it to the ramps!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Kyle's not far behind. Oh, but he slips and splats!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38The defenders turn their attention to Connor.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40He leaps and he makes it!
0:20:40 > 0:20:42What about Kyle? Yes, he's now on the ramps.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Go away!
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Kook tries a goo grenade, Madeva's sliming, and Vane is splatting!
0:20:46 > 0:20:50But Connor continues his climb, and is the first attacker over!
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Come on, Mary, let's do this!
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Can Kyle keep the race alive? Yes, he can!
0:20:55 > 0:20:57The defenders begin an all-out attack!
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Oh, this is tense - remember both team members need to finish.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01So where are the others?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Well, Mary's having a little dance with the cannons!
0:21:03 > 0:21:05She makes her move, but it's the wrong one,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07and she splats in the sploosh!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09She needs to get back up and try again.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Now, what's Madeva up to?
0:21:10 > 0:21:11She's got an itch.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14And that's just what Mary and Taylor needed.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Mary takes full advantage and just about clings onto the royal ramps.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20She now steadies herself as she approaches the rock wall.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23She leaps, but she can't hold on.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Yes!
0:21:24 > 0:21:25Come on, Mary, get up there!
0:21:25 > 0:21:27One of these girls needs to make a move.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Oh, Taylor is slimed at close range
0:21:29 > 0:21:32and that gives Mary a second chance to reach the ramps.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35She makes it! So, she'll soon be back at the rock wall!
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Taylor hasn't given up, though.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39She heads for the ramps and she makes it, too!
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Mary leaps again and splats again!
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Taylor's turn now. Oh, she can't hold on either!
0:21:43 > 0:21:44The boys look on, helpless.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47There's nothing they can do to help their friends!
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Mary refuses to give up, though.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51She heads towards the ramps for a third time. She's over!
0:21:51 > 0:21:52The defenders are still defending.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55And Mary is still attacking! She's onto the wall!
0:21:55 > 0:21:57The defenders unleash everything they have!
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Skabb is really going for it now!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02But Mary is almost there - just a couple more steps to go!
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Taylor's ready to leap again, but it's too late -
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Mary is over and the blues are our new champions!
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Yes, Mary and Connor are officially the new joint rulers of Splatalot!
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Taylor tried so hard and Kyle couldn't have done more.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I think the same could be said for the defenders!
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Well done to Queen Mary and King Connor -
0:22:19 > 0:22:20that was a truly gripping final.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It certainly was. Both teams had their chances,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25but I think its fair to say that the right pair won.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Connor and Mary came first in every challenge we threw at them today.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Well, they may have won the cake,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32but what about the cherry to go on top?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34What are you talking about?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I'm talking about the Splat Of The Day!
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Yes, it's a clean sweep!
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Connor and Mary win the cherry, too, with this wonderful double-splat.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Our king gets a right royal splatting on the incline,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47and then our queen has a ball with the splaken.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49It really is splatting at its very best!
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Well, it just keeps getting better for Connor and Mary!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56They are going to make fantastic rulers.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Let's remind ourselves how they got there.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01In Round One, they had a tough time with the splaken,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03but were still the fastest.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04They kept to their winning ways in Round Two -
0:23:04 > 0:23:06crossing the finish line together.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10And in the final - Connor leapt, Mary danced and they both triumphed.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12So, let's hear from our new king and queen!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Our first act as king...
0:23:14 > 0:23:15And queen.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18..of Splatalot is to have one of you thrown in the moat.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23We wish it could be all of you. But today it will be you, Thorne.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26What?! What?! How dare you?!
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Well, that went down well!
0:23:28 > 0:23:29I won't forget this!
0:23:29 > 0:23:32We'll have plenty more splatty action for you soon.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34But for now we'll leave you with the splatapult ceremony.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Take it away, Thorne.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I'll be the thorn...
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Lovely. So, until next time...
0:23:39 > 0:23:41BOTH: Keep splatting!
0:23:41 > 0:23:42What the...?!
