0:00:02 > 0:00:03Welcome to Splatalot!
0:00:03 > 0:00:06The magical, mythical, extremely messy kingdom where ten brave
0:00:06 > 0:00:09young warriors go head to head with those despicably devious defenders,
0:00:09 > 0:00:12as they compete to capture the much-treasured Splatalot crown!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Faetal's on the way!
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Can the defenders keep the castle safe from the attackers,
0:00:17 > 0:00:19or will our young warriors overcome every hurdle,
0:00:19 > 0:00:22and find a true champion to rule the kingdom?
0:00:22 > 0:00:25So who will tumble? Who will tilt? Who will teeter?
0:00:25 > 0:00:27And who will go...? BOTH: Splat!
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Hello! I'm Teardrop Bumble-Hive-Overlord.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And I'm Fondue Praline Fountain-Pen Rothschild.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Now, in your world, you might know us as Dick and Dom.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40But in the splendidly silly kingdom of Splatalot,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43we can call ourselves anything we like, can't we, dear?
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Could you call me by my Splatalot name, please?
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Teardrop.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49No, my full Splatalot name.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Teardrop Bumble-Hive-Overlord!
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Now, the reason we're all here is to find a new ruler for this kingdom.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57So we've set three challenges.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00In the Moat Challenge, all ten attackers compete, but only
0:01:00 > 0:01:04the six fastest will progress to our second round, Ditch The Dungeon.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Four will survive that and battle it out in the final
0:01:06 > 0:01:08until one attacker emerges victorious.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10And that victorious "emerger" will become
0:01:10 > 0:01:13the new ruler of Splatalot, not something to be sniffed at.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Here's the Moat Challenge in more detail.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19'We start with the baffling barrels and piercing pellets.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22'Then it's up the slippery slope, but beware the vile volley.'
0:01:22 > 0:01:25'The rolling mace is next, followed by the impossible incline,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27'and the beastly battle-axes.'
0:01:27 > 0:01:29'The bridge of disaster, guarded by the aqualizer,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31'takes you to the debilitating disc, which is
0:01:31 > 0:01:33'the final obstacle before the finish line.'
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Talking of obstacles,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38let's introduce the little darlings who'll defend the moat today.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41'Skabb, the barbarian, whose interests include Tai Chi
0:01:41 > 0:01:43'and toe cheese(!)'
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- 'Thorne...'- My name is Thorne, and I'm here to splat you.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48And Vane, who's gone for the sports-casual modern-day
0:01:48 > 0:01:50archer look.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Oi, where's Vane?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I think we'll get more done without him.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Great(!) The defenders are one man down before we've started!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58But the show must go on. Skabb on the vile volley,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and Thorne on the slimy slicer will just have to cope on their own.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Here's our first attacker, Bailey.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Gingers have souls!
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Apparently she likes creepy crawlies.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08She'll love the defenders, then(!)
0:02:08 > 0:02:11You have to get past me and Thorne, and...
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Oh, Vane's still not turned up!
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Did he forget to set his alarm?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Thorne, where's Vane?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Bailey's on the slope.- Heads up!
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Skabb splats Bailey, but she hangs on.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Now, can she capitalise on the lack of defenders?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24The short answer is no. The long answer is no, she can't.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27You know what, Thorne? I'm going to, yeah? Then...
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- You're going to switch up? - I'll do it, I'll do it.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Not exactly the most co-ordinated plan!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Howling-bishop! Not too well co-ordinated by Bailey either!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I think the incline deserves most of the credit.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- And as if by magic...- See that, Thorne? I'm like lightning.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Yes, but before Skabb can strike,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Bailey needs to weather this slime storm from Thorne!
0:02:45 > 0:02:46And it's too much for her!
0:02:46 > 0:02:48She loses her footing, rebounds off the axe,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- and takes a plunge into the moat. - Have you seen Vane yet?- I haven't.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Don't look for him in there, Bailey!
0:02:53 > 0:02:55It looks like it's just you and me.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I doubt that will make Bailey's life much easier.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58- Fall, Bailey!- And she does.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00She also finishes,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02although 10:56 might not be a very competitive time.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Here's attacker number two, Jade.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Why am I here right now?!
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Well, let's show you.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11That's why, Jade.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- You have ugly hair!- Careful, Jade!
0:03:13 > 0:03:15The thing is, if you're a barbarian,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17then having ugly hair might be a compliment.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Oh, and Jade can't manage the mace!
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Do you think she's worked out why she's here yet?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Jade down the incline. Oh, ripsnorter!
0:03:24 > 0:03:27That splat certainly put a spring in her step!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Oh, here's Mr Sleepyhead. He's in so much trouble right now.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Oh, look who decided to show up!
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Jade strolls casually over the bridge. Vane needs to wake up fast!
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Vane!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- Time is it?- Wow, hey, where'd you come from?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Finally Vane realises what's going on.- Lemon-sucker!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46At least that humongous splat from Jade saved Vane's embarrassment.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49She finishes with 7:12. Causing her to dance in a silly way.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51For the fellas!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I'm sure the fellas will be very happy about that(!)
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Heads up, Cameron! - Splat fact - Cameron can unicycle.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I wouldn't advise that right at this very moment.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01He's over the moat and down the incline. Good so far.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Argh!- Skabb senses this could be a fast round.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Well, he's already over the axes!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08The bridge poses no problems for him, either!
0:04:08 > 0:04:11What's the deal? Slow down, it's not a race.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- No, Vane, that's precisely what it is.- Wet-suitcase!
0:04:13 > 0:04:16See what happens when you rush it, bro?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19This is what happens - a fantastic time of 2:22.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Let's throw in some goo.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23You can call me "William Splatner"!
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- OK, "William," let's see if splats ARE the final frontier.- What?!
0:04:25 > 0:04:28William Shatner, the original Captain Kirk in Star Trek.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Our mission - to boldly splat where no attacker has gone before.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Oh, I really hate Star Trek.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36All right, how about "Splat Trek"?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Don't be illogical. That is not William Splatner,
0:04:39 > 0:04:40it's a girl called Emma.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Beam me up, Skabby!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Emma had fun with her battle cry but less fun round the moat,
0:04:45 > 0:04:46and does not finish.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- I don't want to be here! - Hey, no-one's forcing you, Griffen!
0:04:49 > 0:04:50If you don't want to be here now,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52wait till you encounter us defenders.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I think Griffen's kidding around, but, oh, nose-goblin!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I don't think the barrels were kidding around!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Looks like he "don't want to be" on the mace much, either.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03But the incline's going to catch him out - "Crab C Nesbitt"!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Well, he was way too pacey, across the, err, macey.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08And now he's got egg on his facey?
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Shut up.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Thorne tries to slow Griffen down, but he's too quick for him.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Vane's going to be in trouble, then!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16The drowsy defender really needs to focus now.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18And he's loosened Griffen's grip!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20But that time of 2:34 is still very fast.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23So halfway through, what does Vane have to say for himself?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Well, I guess I better go get my uniform.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Maybe a sandwich, too.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31That did NOT sound like a full apology to me.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Maybe he can't say sorry on an empty stomach.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Back to the attackers, and so far we've had a bit
0:05:35 > 0:05:37of everything as the leaderboard can now reveal.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Cameron and Griffen finished in well under three minutes,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Jade and Bailey could be struggling with their times,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Emma, sadly, could not complete the course.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48The six fastest go through, so with only five attackers remaining,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50our current leader, Cameron, is already safe.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53But the other five places are anybody's for the taking!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Yes, splat fans, it really doesn't get any more exciting than this!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Right now we really need to talk about Vane.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Let's do more than that.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06The Dick and Dom Amateur Dramatic Theatre Company proudly
0:06:06 > 0:06:09presents, Mr Vane...
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Once upon a time there was a dude called Mr Vane.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Dude, dude!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Mr Vane had a best friend called Mr Mayonnaise.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Mr Mayo, dude!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21One afternoon, Mr Mayonnaise introduced Mr Vane
0:06:21 > 0:06:23to his other friends, Mr Cheese and Mr Toast.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Cheese on toast, bro!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29But later that same day, the naughty Mr Vane ate all of his new
0:06:29 > 0:06:32friends, had a disturbing dream, overslept and was late for work.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Oh, Dude!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38The end. Right, now that's all cleared up,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- here's a reminder of the leaderboard.- Dude!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Cameron has already qualified with 2:22,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Griffen looks safe with 2:34, Jade
0:06:46 > 0:06:49and Bailey might struggle with their times, and Emma did not finish.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Dude, dude!
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Ah, thanks, mate.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Let's see if the real Vane's better prepared for the second half.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00There's Skabb on the vile volley, Thorne on the slimy slicer,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02and, wait for it, yes, there's Vane in his proper uniform.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04It's my Bar Mitzvah!
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Attacker number six, Elijah, gets the second half underway with
0:07:07 > 0:07:09a gentle slip, slide and shimmy off the barrels.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It's your Bar Mitzvah, yes?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13You are now a man, so run like a man!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Loin-trooper!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Fish-toot!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Nicely done, Skabb!
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I think it's fair to say Skabb is fired up for the second half.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25But Elijah is bouncing back. He's over the mace, and the incline!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Not so steady on the axes, though. Battered-sausage!
0:07:28 > 0:07:32He slips on some slime, and try as he might, he just can't hang on.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Might make a man out of you after all!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36He's on the bridge now... but not for long.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38At the disc. Over-handy!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Well, despite that splatty round,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Elijah might just scrape through with 5:50.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Mazel tov, you're now a man!
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I'm already tired!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Amanda's about to get a wake-up call!- Dish-fud!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Cannonball!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh, Skabb's way off target!
0:07:54 > 0:07:56But Amanda finds the moat with incredible accuracy.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Move, Amanda!- He misses again!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02It's not a joke, just squirt some smoke! Here, have this!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Thorne, the slime slicer of rhyme,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06tries to put Amanda off with poetry, and it's worked!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I think the battle-axes may have contributed, too.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11And Amanda completes the course in 9:15.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12That puts her in fifth place,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15so she's still in with a chance of qualifying. Here's Chami.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18This is the most embarrassing day of my life!
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Now, is Chami just kidding with us?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23No. After one look at the barrels Chami calls it quits.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24So that's our second DNF today.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Actually, it was more of a DNS - Did Not Start.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27I'm solid!
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Yes, but you'll be liquid in a minute, Ryan!
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Told you!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Let's see how solid you are!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Skabb taunts karate black belt Ryan, and puts him off his stride.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Skillet! But he's fine down the incline.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41If you're solid, how about a little bit of gas?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Ryan ignores Thorne, but he can't ignore the battle-axes!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46The axes give Ryan the ultimate karate chop.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48It's also a less than solid performance on the bridge.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Solid splat, bro(!)
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Just the debilitating disc to go. Nuff-hanky!
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Well, after that karate move,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I'm surprised the finish platform has survived!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Ryan has survived with 4:22. - The slime missed him!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02You're not supposed to dodge it, kid, it's Splatalot!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04That's better!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I'm in the middle of nowhere!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08You're about to be in the middle of the moat, Joshua.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09See, right again!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11There you are!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Skabb launches a paint ball, then a slime ball.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15It's an all out splat attack from the barbarian!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Oh, Joshua leaps, and just about hangs on.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21It was a near-perfect hurdle but his lead leg slipped.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- He slides down the incline. - Hippie-finger!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Well he tried the feet first approach,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28and he ended up feet-first into the bilge.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Joshua tries the "hanging on" approach this time.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Thorne tries to loosen his grip. - Oh, rankee-doodle!
0:09:33 > 0:09:34They're throwing everything at Josh
0:09:34 > 0:09:37and all this time in the moat is slowing him down.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40He needs to beat Amanda's time of 9:15.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Again, it's an unusual approach on the disc.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44But the usual splatty result.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46He won't mind, though, because 8:39 is good enough.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49And that calls for some celebratory slime.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51What's this? He wants to share the celebration with Vane!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Dude, you almost got that in my hair!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55So through to Round Two are
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Cameron, Griffen, Ryan, Elijah, Jade and Joshua.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59They were the fastest round the moat,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02so do we reward them with a nice hot drink and a biccie?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04No, we stick them in a dungeon!
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Yes, all six will enter,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09but only four will survive this seriously splatty challenge.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- So, Teardrop...- Yes, Fondue?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15..Do you think it would be fun to reveal
0:10:15 > 0:10:17the full Splatalot names of all the defenders?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Wouldn't that make them look silly, and ultimately lead to us
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- losing all respect for them?- Yeah. - All right, then.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Good. You go first. Vane?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Splatalot name - Vainglorious Staple Gun Brunch Tickler.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Thorne?
0:10:29 > 0:10:34Splatalot name - Ringbinder Melchet Thornedyke Bubblejet the Fifth.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I can see why he shortened it to Thorne!
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Skabb?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Splatalot name - Skabb.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Skabb? Bit disappointing! - Only joking.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It's Lacewing Skabbernackle Dot Matrix Treacle Drizzler.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48That's more like it. What about the others?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Let's leave the rest till later. Special treat.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Back to the attackers. Here's the ones who've made it to Round Two.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58'We have Ryan, Joshua, Elijah, Jade, Cameron...'
0:10:58 > 0:10:59'And Griffen.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02'Once they've escaped the stock markets,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05'they must cross the splatwalk and climb the loathsome ladder.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07'The first four to make it to the top of the dungeon,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09'claim a flag and earn a place in the final.'
0:11:09 > 0:11:12But in their way will be three slime-fuelled defenders.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13- Three defenders, you say?- I do.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17OK, so out of Kookaburra, Faetal and Madeva,
0:11:17 > 0:11:21whose Splatalot name is Vuvuzela Gold Leaf Pugil Stick Eye Winker?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I'd say that was Kookaburra?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26No, he's Blue Jay Camembert Synth-Drum.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Of course!
0:11:27 > 0:11:28That leaves Faetal.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Faetal. If at first you don't succeed, just maybe give up.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Or Madeva.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36OK, Vuvuzela Gold Leaf Pugil Stick Eye Winker.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- It could be either of them! - Here's a clue.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Ah, clever.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41So down in the stock market,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44we have Griffen, Ryan, Joshua, Elijah, Jade and Cameron.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47The defenders have slime ball-slinging Madeva at the top
0:11:47 > 0:11:49with Faetal and Kookaburra splatting from the sides.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52And they're off.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54They break free of the stocks, then spring the lock on the gate.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57That gives them a free run at the splatwalk, and look at Ryan go.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00The rest form a disorderly queue behind him.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02OK, it's time to get messy.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Kook unleashes the froth proper,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Faetal gets to work with the slime stick.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Underneath all that icing is Ryan!
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Cameron tries something but it leads to nothing.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Griffen also loses his grip, and heads for the moat.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Jade follows suit.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18But Ryan is still making progress. It's slow but he hasn't slipped yet.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- It's a yeti! - OK. Kook, he "hasn't slipped yeti."
0:12:21 > 0:12:23It wasn't that funny, Faetal?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Ben-sandwich! Kook splats Joshua, and down he goes.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Ooh, bye-bye!
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Here's Madeva with a slime ball.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Easy, Cameron, she hasn't done anything yet!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Kook still frothing, and finally Ryan loses his footing.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Griffen's hanging on but inevitably the froth proves flummoxing,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39and down he goes all the way back to the splatwalk.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42There's "snow way" he's getting back up!
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Oh, Blue Jay Camembert Synth-Drum, you're so funny(!)
0:12:45 > 0:12:47I don't see Cameron laughing.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Madeva loves to bowl, baby.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Madeva goes for a slime strike, and, well,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53it doesn't really bowl the attackers over.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Yes, Ryan stands tall once again.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Kook has more success with Cameron,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59who is spending a lot of time in the moat.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Griffen's almost over!- Madeva needs to do something!
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Push comes to shove, and down goes Griffen.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05He takes the rest with him!
0:13:05 > 0:13:07That's the strike Madeva wanted earlier!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Fantastic! Hands on!- Poor child!
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I'm not sure if I respect her methods but she does get results.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- That's enough, child! - Guess what? Ryan's back!
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Give me high-five!
0:13:16 > 0:13:19High-fiving and high-powered frothing.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Oh, but Madeva gets a face full of foam from Ryan.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23He's using the defenders' weapons against them!
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Faetal manages to dislodge Griffen...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- I'm a-coming, Madeva! - Faetal's on the way!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Get out of here, you beast, you green beast!
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Kook brandishes the pokey pike
0:13:33 > 0:13:35and sends Joshua down the loathsome ladder.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37But there are plenty more attackers in strong positions!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Kooks seems to be on his own.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- But he's managed to send Griffen packing too!- Faetal's on the way!
0:13:42 > 0:13:44On the way, or running away, Faetal?
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Cameron's sliding away.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I take it all back. Faetal's returned with a ball of doom!
0:13:48 > 0:13:50And the doom ball does what the doom ball does best!
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Look at Kookaburra!
0:13:52 > 0:13:55He's exhausted after that onslaught from the attackers.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57But they just keep coming back for more.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Faetal's really fired up now.- She needs to be. Madeva's disappeared!
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Kook sees off Elijah with a bucket of slime.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05And he quickly reloads for Ryan, but it's Cameron who succumbs
0:14:05 > 0:14:08slippily to a slide with a southern slant.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- With Jade for company. - But Kook can deny Ryan no longer.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13He's over the finish line - the first one through to the final!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Griffen could be next but no, he slips and down he goes.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Didn't your mother teach you any manners?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21What about Madeva's manners? She was off duty for ages!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Why not look at the camera?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Kook tries to trick them, and it's worked!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Griffen slips and it's a splatalanche - all five
0:14:27 > 0:14:28attackers end up in the moat!
0:14:28 > 0:14:30It's not even a camera!
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Three places in the final are still up for grabs.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34But Cameron can't grab hold of anything at the moment.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Surely someone will join Ryan soon.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Not Joshua, not yet, anyway.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Get me some balls of doom, baby!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Here comes another doom ball.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It goes straight for Jade. Nothing lucky about that rollover.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- She won't be in the third round! - Don't underestimate her, Kook.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50She's climbing that ladder with the other attackers -
0:14:50 > 0:14:51they're coming back at ya!
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Kook and Faetal once more defend the finish line.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56And Joshua heads back down into the moat.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Kook uses the pokey pike again
0:14:58 > 0:15:00and Griffen, then Elijah, return to the splatwalk.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Kook splats Joshua now. He and Faetal have been amazing today!
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Even more credit for Ryan for finishing so quickly.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Here comes Cameron, but once again Kook repels him!
0:15:09 > 0:15:12And Cameron helps the defenders by dislodging Griffen.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Can anyone get past Kook now?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Well, Elijah might, but Kook's switched places
0:15:17 > 0:15:19and splats him from the side.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Oh, dear. Cameron once more heads moatwards.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Faetal's spotted a strong run from Joshua. She tries to hose him down,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27but he's broken through and we have our second finalist!
0:15:27 > 0:15:29He joins Ryan at the top and grabs his flag.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32And Griffen is hot on his heels. Three finalists.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34One place remains.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- It's going to go to Elijah!- Yes, that's it. Round Two is complete!
0:15:37 > 0:15:39We have our four finalists!
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Which means we have to say farewell to Jade and Joshua,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43but hello to the slide of shame!
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Jade's first. She slides, and I, for one, see no shame in that!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Cameron's turn - slippy, slidey, shamey.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50No shame for this lot - just plenty of celebrating.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53'Here's confirmation of the fab four who will
0:15:53 > 0:15:54'feature in the final -
0:15:54 > 0:15:56'Ryan, Griffen, Joshua and Elijah.'
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Now, THAT is how to ditch the dungeon.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Ryan must be our fastest attacker ever!
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Yeah, he did brilliantly, but so did Kook
0:16:03 > 0:16:05and Faetal, holding the others off for so long.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08So, that kind of attacking, up against that kind of defending,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11should make for a truly gripping final.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Time for a Splat stat attack,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19with up-to-the-minute stat facts from the splat stat hat.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Elijah has finished fourth in both rounds.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Joshua is our most improved attacker with a sixth
0:16:26 > 0:16:30and a second place. Griffen has done well coming second, and third, and
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Ryan is the overall favourite with a third and first place to his name.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38And that was the splat stat attack.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Here's a reminder of the finalists.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43We have Griffen, Elijah, Ryan and Joshua.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47And here is the course that stands between them and the crown.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50'The obstacles are many, starting with the dire mire
0:16:50 > 0:16:51'and the barrier of all barriers.'
0:16:51 > 0:16:53'Then it's a trip across the terrifying tees,
0:16:53 > 0:16:55'which lead to the scary-go-round.'
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Once on board, the attackers face the annihilating arm,
0:16:58 > 0:16:59then the gruesome twosome.'
0:16:59 > 0:17:02'They lead to the clobbering cannons, then down the royal ramps,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04and over to the rock wall.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07'And, at the top of that wall, the crown awaits its new champion.'
0:17:07 > 0:17:09But the course wouldn't be complete without this lot!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12'Yes, it's the defenders, all six of them,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14and what a mixed bunch they've been today.'
0:17:14 > 0:17:16'Skabb and Vane are on the splatzookas,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18'Madeva and Faetal are at the clobbering cannons,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21'Kook's at the aqualizer, and Thorne's on the vaporizer.'
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Elijah's in yellow, Joshua's in red, Ryan's in green,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26and Griffen's in orange!'
0:17:26 > 0:17:28They head for the dire mire.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Oh, and Elijah's down,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31leaving Griffen to make it to the barrier first.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33He clears it with ease, and so too does Ryan.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Not so easy for Elijah.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Griffen at the tees now.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39One, two, three!
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Yes! That's what we do, because we are men!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Thanks for that, Skabb.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Elijah and Joshua, now successfully over the barrier.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Griffen tries the tees. - He trips, but holds on.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Heads up!
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Ryan avoids a Skabb splat.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Griffen's back up now, and he's making great progress.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Yes, he's the first one over!
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Ryan, now. Oh this is new - he tries sliding across.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59The slow-and-steady approach.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Bog-flap!
0:18:01 > 0:18:04It's on your face still. That's how awesome I am.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Back to Ryan. And he's made it over!
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Oh, but they've ruled he didn't land properly on his feet
0:18:10 > 0:18:11and so he has to do it again!
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- So Griffen could extend his lead here.- He's on the scary-go-round.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Now he must get up and over the annihilating arm.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20He's up and over! He's having a fantastic round so far!
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Well, Skabb's seen him and Thorne's waiting at the gruesome twosome.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Griffen leaps, and finally he splats!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Back to Joshua on the tees. Look at him avoid the water blast!
0:18:29 > 0:18:31He's over and the landing is good, too!
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Griffen makes it back onto the scary-go-round,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- after he fell in. - And Joshua's joined him!
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Elijah now, and, oh, that's a step in the wrong direction!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Griffen's already completed the arm.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43But Joshua hasn't. So he needs to go over it. But he's stuck.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Griffen returns to the gruesome twosome.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46This time, he's made it!
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Thorne tries to vaporize him, but Griffen shrugs him off
0:18:49 > 0:18:50and firmly holds on to his lead.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Splat!- Me-daddy!
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Elijah stands still at the Tees and becomes a sitting target.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Thought you said he was standing(?)
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Now, Joshua comes unstuck
0:18:58 > 0:19:01and Thorne finally dislodges Griffen.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Hey, splatter!
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I don't think Elijah feels at ease on the tees.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Griffen gets past the cannons without even being clobbered!
0:19:07 > 0:19:11But our red-hot favourite, Ryan, is still a long way behind on the Tees.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Griffen reaches out for the Royal Ramps. Oh, zucchini-bluffer!
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Yes, time for a spell in the moat.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19S-P-L-A-T!
0:19:19 > 0:19:22OK, Faetal, you don't have to take him literally!
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Finally Ryan's made it over the tees.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Elijah still finds the tees troubling, though.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Now, can Ryan make up for lost time?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30He's on the scary-go-round and approaching the annihilating arm.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Back to Elijah, who gave his all on the tees,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34and he's decided to call it a day!
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Ryan now on top of the arm.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38He waits for the scary-go-round, and lands,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41but Griffen is still a long way ahead, approaching the rock wall.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43My name's Kookaburra.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I like long walks on the beach and small dogs.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Kook's tried talk Griffen into the moat, and it's worked!
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Ryan can claw back some time now.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51He's got his claws in the twosome.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54You don't understand, I could have been an attacker!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I could have been somebody!
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Not sure this is the best time to reflect on your
0:19:58 > 0:19:59career choices, Thorne.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Griffen is back on the ramps.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Trespassing on girl territory, Griffen!
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Faetal's getting all territorial.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I'm sure Griffen wouldn't mind relocating to the rock wall.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08But he slips again!
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Double moisture - you're in the water, and I'm spraying you.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13So the other attackers are still in with a chance.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Joshua's back on the scary-go-round, and just about keeps
0:20:15 > 0:20:18his balance, as he heads over to the annihilating arm.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20But he just can't get over it.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21And once more he's in the bilge.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Which means he'll have to try the arm all over again.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26And Griffen has to try the royal ramps again.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28He's made it over comfortably,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30but he knows the rock wall is different entirely.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Here comes Ryan. He's past the cannons...
0:20:32 > 0:20:34And has almost caught up with Griffen!
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Faetal gives him pause for thought with an earful of slime,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40but he leaps and makes it onto the ramps! The final's really hotting up!
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Ryan and Griffen are pretty much head-to-head!
0:20:42 > 0:20:44The defenders are throwing everything they have
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- at the attackers. - Griffen tries again, and falls again.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Maybe it's Ryan's day after all. - But Ryan can't hold on, either!
0:20:50 > 0:20:52So they both have to get back onto the ramps.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Griffen's already there. Surely this time!- Dish-foot!
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Well, the defenders aren't making it any easier for him.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Griffen tries the wall for the fourth time.- And falls for the fourth time.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Meanwhile, Joshua tries one more time to get past
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- the annihilating arm. - I think he's about to come unstuck!
0:21:07 > 0:21:10He came unstuck, by getting stuck, and down he goes again!
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Despite an unhelping hand from Faetal, Ryan is back on the ramps.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Griffen is right behind him.- There's still little separating them.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Faetal still defends her territory.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Griffen needs to concentrate on Ryan...
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Who's made it onto the wall!
0:21:23 > 0:21:27How will Griffen respond? He's made it, too! What an incredible race!
0:21:27 > 0:21:29It's all down to their climbing skills now.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Who's going to win it? Oh, I'm frustrated!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Kook was so caught up in the excitement,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35he almost forgot to keep defending.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37That aqualizer could make all the difference.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39One slip and it's all over for one of them.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41The defenders give everything they have.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43But it looks like Griffen will defy both them
0:21:43 > 0:21:45and Ryan, as he makes it to the top first!
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Griffen is our new king, but look at Ryan's sportsmanship.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50The defenders could learn a lot from that.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- 'Joshua also pays tribute to the Griffen.'- 'All hail the king.'
0:21:54 > 0:21:57That must go down as one of the best finals in Splatalot history!
0:21:57 > 0:21:59We'd predicted that Ryan had the edge,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01but Griffen started the final so well!
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Ryan clawed back the lead, and even then, both had chances to win.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07But Griffen emerged triumphant and truly deserved his victory.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09So that's a pretty tough act to follow.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Who can possibly compete with Griffen, in the Splat Of the Day?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17'The answer is not one, but five attackers.'
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Back in Round Two, Madeva was desperately defending the dungeon.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21One nudge from her sent five of them
0:22:21 > 0:22:23splatting all the way back to the moat.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25And that's why we call it Splatalot!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Back to our new king, and his journey to the crown.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Griffen splatted his way round the moat
0:22:33 > 0:22:36and finished with the second fastest time of the day.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38He progressed to Round Two
0:22:38 > 0:22:39and succeeded in claiming the third flag!
0:22:39 > 0:22:43But he came to life in the final and thoroughly deserved his victory.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45So here's our new ruler.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47What are your plans, Griffen?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50My first act as king is to throw one of you into the moat.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I wish I could do it to all of you, but today it will be you, Vane.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56That's the right decision.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59'That's what you get if you turn up late for work.'
0:22:59 > 0:23:01'Remind me never to work for you!'
0:23:01 > 0:23:03So, what have we learned today?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Don't be lazy like Vane, and never give up like Griffen.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08How would you sum it up in a few words?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Marzipan Crystal Whisk Hole-Puncher! - Pardon?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Madeva's Splatalot name. We never mentioned it earlier.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Ah, yes. Back to Vane's splatapult ceremony!
0:23:17 > 0:23:19How's my hair?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Well, I suppose "wet" is one way to describe it, Vane.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Great landing!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26We'll have more splats for you next time, but until then...
0:23:26 > 0:23:27BOTH: Keep splatting!
