0:00:02 > 0:00:03Buenos Aires, Argentina,
0:00:03 > 0:00:067,000 miles from home.
0:00:06 > 0:00:0820 ordinary British men and women,
0:00:08 > 0:00:13including a company director, a gymnastics coach and a pub landlord,
0:00:13 > 0:00:17are about to put their courage, their strength
0:00:17 > 0:00:19and their bodies to the test
0:00:19 > 0:00:21on one of the biggest,
0:00:21 > 0:00:22boldest,
0:00:22 > 0:00:25and daftest obstacle courses ever created.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Who will emerge victorious?
0:00:29 > 0:00:31And who will totally wipe out?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let the games begin.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hello and welcome to Total Wipeout,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40a truly global event.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41People come from all over the world
0:00:41 > 0:00:44to take on the incredible Wipeout obstacle course.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Now, 20 lucky Brits have journeyed to South America
0:00:48 > 0:00:50to test themselves to the limit.
0:00:50 > 0:00:5319 of our 20 will return to the UK
0:00:53 > 0:00:57with nothing but throbbing bruises and a massive laundry bill.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00But one will be crowned today's Total Wipeout champion
0:01:00 > 0:01:02and walk away with £10,000.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07But to do that, they're gonna have to survive the Qualifier,
0:01:07 > 0:01:08the Sweeper...
0:01:10 > 0:01:11..Dizzy Dummies
0:01:11 > 0:01:14and the grand finale, the Wipeout Zone.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Only the 12 fastest competitors will make it past the first round,
0:01:18 > 0:01:19the Qualifier,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22which works a little something like this.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29First today, it's the Topple Towers,
0:01:29 > 0:01:33some precariously balanced squidgy blocks in a pit of mud.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Then it's the Sucker Punch,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39a wall of boxing gloves, in a big pit of mud.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Next it's the Big Balls.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45So far, nobody has managed to clear all four.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51And finally, new this week, it's a swing on the Leap Of Faith.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55To get today's event started,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57let's go over to my co-host at ringside.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00She's there to give our competitors her support,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03not just laugh at them falling in the water.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05It's the caring, sharing Amanda Byram.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10I'm here now with Emma, who is a student of forensics.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Emma, do I understand then you will be
0:02:13 > 0:02:14analysing this course
0:02:14 > 0:02:16with absolute precision?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Erm, I think it will be quite hard when you're up there.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22I'm just gonna see how it goes and get on with it and try my best.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25First onto the course, it's Emma.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I'm gonna tackle this course like I tackle my men.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31With a bit of grit and determination!
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Crikey.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35BUZZER
0:02:37 > 0:02:40So, Emma likes to tackle her men by throwing herself straight in
0:02:40 > 0:02:42at the deep end.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Time is of the essence here as Emma makes her way
0:02:45 > 0:02:49around to the first major obstacle, the Topple Towers.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51The key here is in the name.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Don't topple over.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Whoa!
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Yeah, like that.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04I wonder if Emma also likes her men the way she likes her mud? Thick and hard work.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08The clock is still ticking, so Emma needs to haul herself
0:03:08 > 0:03:10out of that swamp as quickly as she can.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12This is crucial.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Her first chance to apply some learning on the course.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18She's done these blocks once.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19She can learn to do it right.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20No, no.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24On to the Sucker Punch.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28This obstacle combines the sports of rock climbing and boxing.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Often with a bit of mud wrestling thrown in as well.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Emma, though, is staying stuck to that wall.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35That's...
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Ah! Ooh!
0:03:39 > 0:03:40That's gotta hurt.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Yes, Amanda, that probably did.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Despite taking all those blows, she's not budging. Nice work!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Ow!
0:03:52 > 0:03:53And she's across!
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Getting past those gloves is no mean feat.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Emma's set a really high standard there.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Now onto the Big Balls.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Last week, nobody made it across.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Could this be Emma's day?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05DRUM ROLL
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Aargh! Whoa!
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Maybe not.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15If she's treating the course like she does her men,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17looks to me like she's on the rebound!
0:04:17 > 0:04:20With the seconds slipping away, forensic Emma
0:04:20 > 0:04:23must climb her way back up to the podium for the final obstacle,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25the Leap Of Faith.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31To do this perfectly, she just has to swing round
0:04:31 > 0:04:33and land on this red platform in front of us.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Just land...
0:04:34 > 0:04:36in...in...the water.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44With 19 more contestants to go,
0:04:44 > 0:04:49missing that podium could cost Emma a valuable place in the top 12.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54So, 5:36, but will it be enough to make it into the next round.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Only time will tell.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Next up is 31-year-old support worker David,
0:05:01 > 0:05:05whose hobbies include drawing, salsa dancing and playing the violin.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I have the power!
0:05:09 > 0:05:10If I won today,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I think I'd dedicate it to my cat, Rupert.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Ahhhh. I'm sure Rupert's at home, egging you on.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I've the cunning of a tiger and the stealth of a slug.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23This is for you, Rupert! Wooo!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26There's kind of an animal theme developing here.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I should call him Dr Dolittle.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Technically, this isn't an obstacle.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37This is just to get to the obstacle. Topple Towers next.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Woo! David, almost surfing the Topple Towers.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- The second set.- Here we go, bad boy!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Oh. No. Not so good now, David.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Now, David approaches his prize bout
0:05:52 > 0:05:53with the Sucker Punch.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56He's on. He's bobbing.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58He's weaving.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01He's... Oh, he's taken a dive in the first round!
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Let's have another look.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I just want to see him being punched!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Now, here come the big red balls. Good luck, David.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14We're with you.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Woo hoo!
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Yes!
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Ye... Ye... No.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Amanda, always offering support when our competitors are down.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Was funny though. Let's watch it again.
0:06:31 > 0:06:37Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the amazing bouncing man!
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Yes, folks, it was men like him that truly put the "Great" into Britain.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I feel abused.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50And I like it.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53At 3:10, David's no slow coach,
0:06:53 > 0:06:57but will that be fast enough to put him through to the next round?
0:06:57 > 0:06:58That's not salsa that he's doing.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Now, meet 25-year-old Steve from London.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Steve is an extreme sports enthusiast,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08so I reckon he might be rather good.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Being an all-round athlete,
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Steve should be making mincemeat of the Topple Towers.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17And he is!
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Sort of.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Steve lists wakeboarding, mountain biking and snowboarding
0:07:28 > 0:07:29as some of his hobbies.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35None of which have come in useful on the Big Balls.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Clinging desperately!
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Onto the Leap Of Faith.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Can Steve be the first person to land on the podium?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43No.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Despite that howler,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Steve crashes home with a blistering time of 1:56.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Woooo!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Next, we have Tor, an energetic PR executive
0:08:00 > 0:08:02from London.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Woo hoo! This is for my family.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07And all those gingers out there,
0:08:07 > 0:08:08wear sun lotion!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10She's happy here, isn't she?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Not... Not now.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Oh, my goodness.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I can't get out!
0:08:14 > 0:08:17How on earth do you get out of this mud?!
0:08:18 > 0:08:24She's had a mud bath. I wonder how she'll fare on the Big Balls.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Could this be her moment of glory?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Her greatest triumph. Her finest hour.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Whoa!
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Sadly not.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Tor joins the ranks
0:08:34 > 0:08:37of gallant Big Ball failures.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41But our next contender might avoid the same fate.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Because if scientists were to create
0:08:45 > 0:08:48the perfect athlete to take on the Total Wipeout course,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50he might look at bit like this.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54I'm a soda-drinking, pasty-eating, assault course-smashing machine.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57When the ground shakes, that ain't no earthquake.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01That's Big Rich coming to get ya. Hear me roar!
0:09:01 > 0:09:02He's scaring me!
0:09:02 > 0:09:05We bring you Bristol pub landlord, Rich.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Now, technically, this is the easy bit.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17But nobody had the nerve to tell him.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Maybe we'll come back to him a bit later.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26I think Rich is gonna be taking some time to get round,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29but others don't finish this course at all.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30It really is that tough.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34After five and a half minutes in the mud,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Sarah eventually throws in the towel.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I wonder if 35-year-old mum Lisa can do any better?
0:09:45 > 0:09:46No.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52After that encounter, a breathless Lisa calls it a day.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Let's take a look at today's leaderboard.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Extreme Steve is basking at the top of the table.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Dr Dolittle and The Tornado in second and third.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Of those that actually finished, "Forensic" Emma is in last place.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Let's find out where Bristol pub landlord Rich has got to.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19It's early days, and he's looking pretty tired already.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Here come the Topple Towers.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Come on, Rich.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25We're with you. We're scared, but we're with you.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28DRUM ROLL
0:10:32 > 0:10:34We'll come back to Rich later.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Now this is more like it.
0:10:37 > 0:10:3820-year-old
0:10:38 > 0:10:39gymnastics coach Justine.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42My aim in life is to give men a run for their money.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Impressive.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Justine's hobbies of free running and kick boxing
0:10:51 > 0:10:54mean she is perfectly suited to Total Wipeout.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Let's see how those pastimes help "Judo" Justine on the Big Balls.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Here she goes!
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Hang on!
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Can we see that again?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07What happened there?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10She's... She's folded in half! She's all crumpled up.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14She didn't list contortionism as an interest. Clearly it is.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Justine romps home
0:11:17 > 0:11:20in a more than respectable second place with a time of 2:56.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22But where's Rich?
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Nobody laugh.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37This mud is causing huge problems today.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39It's time to bring out the big guns.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Big things come in small packages.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I'm definitely the dark horse of the competition, so watch out.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47It's 28-year-old Northampton PA Alex.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Will her thoroughbred legs get her over the Towers?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57No. Or should I say "neigh"?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I shouldn't. No, I should just say no.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02This is Annwen,
0:12:02 > 0:12:06a 31-year-old British Forces radio presenter from Wales.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Looking good as she approaches the Topple Towers.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Oh! Looking worse now she's covered in mud.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Not gonna let mud get the better of me.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20No. I can't believe it!
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Second set of Topple Towers now
0:12:24 > 0:12:26and Annwen has lost the ability to move forward.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28She's just sort of hovering.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Come on, Annwen. Go!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Yes! No.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36The Sucker Punch awaits
0:12:36 > 0:12:40and DJ Annwen has the look of a rabbit staring into the headlights.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Come on, grab.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Ooh!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51There's falling in the mud
0:12:51 > 0:12:54and then there is really FALLING in the mud.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55That was a whopper.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Still, she's bound to get a bath as we move on
0:13:01 > 0:13:02to the Big Balls.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05OK, one, two...
0:13:05 > 0:13:06In.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Clean as a whistle.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Finally, Annwen finishes in 7:23.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Will she make the top 12 qualifiers?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Maybe not, with men like these.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Father and son rivalries don't come much bigger than this.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Forget Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26here come Alan and Matt
0:13:26 > 0:13:27from just outside Portsmouth.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32I am a natural athlete and I deserve to be here. I really want to win.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Age before beauty,
0:13:34 > 0:13:38so up first is 56-year-old company director, dad Alan.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42To boldly go how no man has gone before!
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Alan misquoting Star Trek,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46but we'll forgive him, he's under pressure.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Oh, and he's in!
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I think he's lost his keys in there maybe.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Here comes son Matt.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57That is a much better run across the Topple Towers.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02That's just showing off!
0:14:06 > 0:14:11Meanwhile, Pops tries to find his glasses, and his best comb.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Matt's off and tackling the Big Balls.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Here we go.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Ooh. Ooh! Oooh!
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Very nearly keeps his balance on there.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Surely the Sucker Punch wall
0:14:26 > 0:14:28wouldn't hit an old man without glasses?
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Yeah, it would.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Son Matt powers through the final obstacle.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37And overshoots quite badly.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38The enthusiasm of youth.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Maybe Wonder Dad Alan can demonstrate
0:14:46 > 0:14:47fatherly wisdom
0:14:47 > 0:14:50and tackle the Leap Of Faith properly.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Sadly not.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59We are at the halfway point of today's Qualifier.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Let's see where that's put Wonder Dad Alan
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and his Wonder Son, Matt, on our leaderboard.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Matt storms into the lead, two seconds ahead of "Extreme" Steve,
0:15:08 > 0:15:09with "Judo" Justine third.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Matt's dad, Alan, is in fifth place.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Annwen is now lagging behind in ninth
0:15:20 > 0:15:23and in real danger of not qualifying for the next round.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25But hold on, aren't we missing someone?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Rich has been on the go
0:15:27 > 0:15:29for nine minutes.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Come on, Rich. Focus now. You can do this. You can do this!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Let me catch my breath a minute.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Don't let the side down.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I think I already have.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42If you don't do this, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44If I do this, I might have a very short life.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48You have to wonder what Rich could possibly be afraid of?
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Could it be this?
0:16:02 > 0:16:0543-year-old housing project worker Paul wasn't afraid
0:16:05 > 0:16:06of the big, red balls.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Neither was the flying recruitment consultant, Mike.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16No fear at all.
0:16:16 > 0:16:1934-year-old Brummie Alison
0:16:19 > 0:16:20wasn't scared.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23She loses it a bit at first,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26but then regains her composure in time to hold her nose gracefully
0:16:26 > 0:16:28as she falls in the water.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Rich, are you ready to give up?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Yep. Positive.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42You're gonna kick yourself.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Yeah, I know. I'll be the ridicule of my friends for years to come.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I'll get balls for Christmas,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49for Easter and for me birthday.
0:16:49 > 0:16:5115 down, five to go.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Meet Graznia, an events organiser from Newmarket...
0:17:00 > 0:17:03..who's just been punched in the face!
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Let's see if BA cabin crew member George can take the flak any better.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Ow!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Cabin crew, prepare for landing.
0:17:22 > 0:17:2522 high-speed hydraulic gloves have taken their toll
0:17:25 > 0:17:27on our contestants.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31So far, only "Forensic" Emma has actually made it past the wall.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Oh, doesn't look good.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Doesn't taste good.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38So, friends, what's needed at this point
0:17:38 > 0:17:40is a real-life boxing hard man.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42There's only one guy for the job. William.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I'm just gonna duck, weave, punch.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I'm gonna destroy it. I'm here to win.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Don't break it. We need it.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53William is a boxer and father of two,
0:17:53 > 0:17:54determined to win
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Total Wipeout for his family.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Going so well across the Topple Towers until then.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Lost his balance on the very last tower.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Do us proud.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Let's see how a professional boxer takes on Sucker Punch.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13See, just riding the punch.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14If being hit in the face
0:18:14 > 0:18:16is part of your day job,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18this obstacle is probably less scary.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23He's across. Well done, William.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Another clear run. Could this be the man to conquer the Big Balls?
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Yes, yes...
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Oh, no!
0:18:33 > 0:18:36It definitely was a case of yes, yes...
0:18:36 > 0:18:38No.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I'm here, I'm fit, I'm ready and I'm going to win!
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Yeeeeeaaaah!
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Hercules is coming!
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Yes! Well, he's not really Hercules.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52It's actually 44-year-old
0:18:52 > 0:18:54hairdressing salon owner
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Panos.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Blimey, what happened there?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Oh, it was his shoes. I thought his feet had come off!
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Both shoes though. That is a Total Wipeout first.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Despite his de-shoeing, Panos has put in a sterling effort
0:19:18 > 0:19:22and finishes with a very respectable 3:47.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Yeeeessss!
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Come on! Huh!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28It's 22-year-old
0:19:28 > 0:19:29holiday park rep Liam.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Our last, and I'm already thinking, most irritating competitor.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I'm gonna totally wipe the floor with this course. Rock on!
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Ooh, I hope he doesn't get punched in the face.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Liam's job is to bring laughter and smiles to the Great British public.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46That should do it, Liam.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51We still haven't seen one person cross these Big Balls.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Liam is our last chance.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Can he do it?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58No, he really can't!
0:20:08 > 0:20:10He doesn't land it either.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Still, it was an impressive run for Liam.
0:20:12 > 0:20:162:41. That means you'll be seeing plenty more of him.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Come on!
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Great(!)
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- I've got the funk.- Yes.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21I've got the funk.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24The Qualifier over, let's see the leaderboard.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Some bad news for William though.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47He took a nasty hit to the knee on the Topple Towers.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49The doctors have taken a look at it
0:20:49 > 0:20:51and advised him to retire.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Really tough luck for William.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54He was in third place.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58That means 13th placed PR executive Tor,
0:20:58 > 0:21:02who we like to call the "Tor-nado" will take William's place.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03But that's not all.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06After losing his shoes on a big ball,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Panos, the hairdressing Hercules,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11also injured his knee and had to retire,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13which means housing project worker Paul
0:21:13 > 0:21:16moves up from 14th to replace Panos in the next round.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21There are 12 contestants left, which is way too many.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23We need to knock out a few.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26The best way to do that is with a giant spinning stick.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28The stick that we call the Sweeper.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36As the name suggests,
0:21:36 > 0:21:37the Sweeper is designed
0:21:37 > 0:21:41to sweep our 12 remaining contestants from their podiums.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45The last six still standing progress to the next round.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- The others are eliminated. - Come on!
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It's all about balance and timing
0:21:50 > 0:21:53as the increasingly fast, increasingly high Sweeper arm
0:21:53 > 0:21:55carries on relentlessly.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Let's meet the Sweeper's dozen.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07On Podium 1, it's "Extreme" Steve.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Matt, you may have beaten me by two seconds in the Qualifier,
0:22:11 > 0:22:12but I'm gonna beat you now.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17On Podiums 2, 3, 4 and 5,
0:22:17 > 0:22:18it's Alison...
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Come on!- Mike...
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Woo!- David...
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Get me off here!
0:22:23 > 0:22:24And George.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27On 6, it's Wonder Dad, Alan.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30This time, I'll show you who's the daddy.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Then, on 7, ready to bolt, it's our dark horse, Alex.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35If I move, I'm gonna fall.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39On 8, 9 and 10, we have lovely little Liam...
0:22:41 > 0:22:42- Yeah!- Yep.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43"Judo" Justine and Paul.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Come on!
0:22:45 > 0:22:48And finally, on 11 and 12, we have the "Tor-nado"...
0:22:48 > 0:22:53I've been given a second chance and I'm gonna show you I'm worthy. Yeah!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55And our top qualifier, Matt.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57So there's our 12.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Not looking at all tense.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00# Always
0:23:00 > 0:23:03# Look on the bright side Of life... #
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I can't. I feel sick. I just don't want...
0:23:06 > 0:23:07I don't want to.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09How are you all feeling? Are you ready?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11THEY CHEER
0:23:11 > 0:23:15All right, well, brace yourselves, it's coming round.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Three,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18two, one!
0:23:19 > 0:23:20And we're off.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22A nice gentle pace to start with.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Ooh, that's Alex!
0:23:28 > 0:23:30She forgot to jump.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36That's the most petrifying thing I have ever done.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38It was awful!
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Unbelievable. Absolutely horrendous.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I don't know how them guys are doing it.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Alex has gone and 11 competitors are still standing.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Yet again, Steve clears it, as does Alison, Mike,
0:23:53 > 0:23:54David...
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Ohhh!
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Alan the Wonder Dad is off.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Who's next?
0:23:58 > 0:23:59It's Paul. And Matt's down!
0:23:59 > 0:24:04He was our fastest in qualifying, so that is the favourite out.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10There goes Wonder Dad.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Then Paul does an impression of a windmill.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15And then it's son Matt.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I don't know what happened to Matt, I didn't see.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22I just got caught on the foot. What happened to you?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Exactly the same. I saw you go, then it came round.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28It hit me on the foot and took me out. I was gutted.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I would have tried to hold on, but I couldn't. Never mind.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34So, there are eight still standing,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36but there are only six places in the next round.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39The next two to fall will be eliminated.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Well done, George.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Two left to go, guys. Two left.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45It's Steve, Alison,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Mike, David, George,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Liam, Justine and Tor.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52This is awesome!
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Come on, gang!
0:24:54 > 0:24:56We can do this.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Come on, guys.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Faster and higher.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Balance, focus and timing are all key to the Sweeper.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13And there go Steve, Alison and Mike,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15delivering a masterclass.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Next two people are out.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Whoa!
0:25:34 > 0:25:36With nobody showing signs of weakening
0:25:36 > 0:25:39it's time to step the Sweeper up a gear.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42With ever spin, the arm will get faster and higher.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48How are they staying on?!
0:25:48 > 0:25:51It is only a matter of time before the Sweeper claims its next victim.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54It must be, and when it does, it's likely to be very messy.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58It's too fast!
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Oh, my God!
0:26:06 > 0:26:09This is terrifying to watch. Oh, we've got one!
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Two are down!
0:26:10 > 0:26:11That's six down!
0:26:11 > 0:26:14We're playing for last man standing.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17So our fifth casualty is Alison.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20I'm really proud of what I achieved. Definitely.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I truly thought I was gonna be off on the first jump.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25It was brilliant! I'd do that all over again.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Alison is then followed by Mike,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30who's the last of the 12 qualifiers to be knocked out.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34The remaining six will all go ahead into the next round.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37To get that close makes it worse, to be honest. It's very frustrating,
0:26:37 > 0:26:39but I'll put a smile on it and move on.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43And lucky little Liam is knocked off just moments later.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46But he's already done just enough to secure himself
0:26:46 > 0:26:49a place in the next round. And sorry about that!
0:26:49 > 0:26:51HE ROARS
0:26:51 > 0:26:55So, five remain playing for the glory that is last man standing,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59a title that carries with it a psychological advantage
0:26:59 > 0:27:01going into the next round.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Oh, no!
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Steve's over.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06And David. And George isn't!
0:27:06 > 0:27:10A reminder for cabin crew, George, that the exits are here...
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Here...
0:27:12 > 0:27:14And here!
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Now we're down to four.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20David clears it.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Justine.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Tor...Tor's gone!
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- SHE LAUGHS - Don't forget, all these six are through to the next round.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30We're just doing this for fun!
0:27:30 > 0:27:33So their spectacular falls and loss of dignity
0:27:33 > 0:27:34are for your entertainment.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Our final three...Steve's over.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39But he's having problems!
0:27:39 > 0:27:44Comes round fast. Steve again. And he's off!
0:27:45 > 0:27:47And David's gone!
0:27:47 > 0:27:49So it's Justine!
0:27:49 > 0:27:55Justine is last woman standing! CHEERING
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Extreme Steve here finally loses composure
0:27:59 > 0:28:02and wobbles his way into the water.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06David goes, with a lovely head butt. Nice try, but no cigar!
0:28:06 > 0:28:08He'd have swallowed it anyway there.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12So it's gymnastic coach Justine's moment of glory.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15She is the last woman standing.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Well, those six are now one step closer
0:28:17 > 0:28:21to today's Total Wipeout title and that £10,000 prize money.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25But only the toughest three will make it through our next round.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28It'll disorientate them, it'll make them confused.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31It might make them a little bit sick on their trainers.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32It is, Dizzy Dummies!
0:28:39 > 0:28:40This is how it works...
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Our six semi-finalists are spun in this roundabout
0:28:43 > 0:28:45for a mind-bending 40 seconds.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Once they've lost all of their balance, they're set free
0:28:48 > 0:28:52to gracefully glide over some very ungraceful obstacles.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54THEY SCREAM
0:28:54 > 0:28:57The last dummy to make it to the other side is eliminated.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03Then we go through the process twice more until only three are left,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05and they'll be tonight's finalists.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08So really, there is just one rule... Don't come last!
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Let's meet our dizzy dummies!
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Come on!
0:29:11 > 0:29:13First up, it's lovely little Liam!
0:29:13 > 0:29:15He's still quite irritating!
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I got the funk! Yeah!
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- Yeah! Yeah!- Harnessed within her tiny frame, is enough energy
0:29:21 > 0:29:23to power a small city.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25It's the Tornado!
0:29:25 > 0:29:27This is for you, Rupert!
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Next up, he talks to the animals, it's Dr Dolittle, David!
0:29:33 > 0:29:36My aim in life is to give men a run for their money!
0:29:36 > 0:29:39She's lean, she's mean, it's Judo Justine!
0:29:41 > 0:29:43I'm taking no prisoners! Come on!
0:29:43 > 0:29:46He does extreme sports and he's called Steve.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48It is Extreme Steve!
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Wooh!
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Get me off here!
0:29:50 > 0:29:52And ready for take-off,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55it's flight attendant, George.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57SHE SCREAMS
0:29:57 > 0:30:00So here we are at the most disorientating stage
0:30:00 > 0:30:02of Total Wipe Out, Dizzy Dummies.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04I think it speaks for itself.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Let's just hope these six contestants behind me
0:30:07 > 0:30:10have a stronger stomach than I do. Are we ready?!
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- ALL:- No! - THEY LAUGH
0:30:12 > 0:30:16That did not sound very enthusiastic! Three!
0:30:16 > 0:30:17Two! One!
0:30:17 > 0:30:20HOOTER BLARES
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- THEY SCREAM - And so the spinning begins.
0:30:23 > 0:30:2740 seconds of intense G-force and extreme disorientation!
0:30:27 > 0:30:30THEY SCREAM
0:30:36 > 0:30:38THEY CONTINUE TO SCREAM
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- HOOTER BLARES - Where am I?- Right, time to go.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Our final six competitors, well, most of them,
0:30:47 > 0:30:49make their way over the turntables.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55SHE LAUGHS
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Doctor Dolittle David, taking on the Dock Maze first.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Good job!
0:31:01 > 0:31:02If they fall off the Dock Maze,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04they'll have to go back to the start.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09And David has fallen in! He has to join the back of the queue.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Now Justine's in front.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16It's gonna be a human pile-up any second.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26And she's through!
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Steve's across.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Who's gonna be next?
0:31:36 > 0:31:39It's Liam! He's made it!
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Three across! Three to go!
0:31:43 > 0:31:48Disaster for the Tornado. She's gonna have to go back to the start.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50CHEERING
0:31:50 > 0:31:53George flies across!
0:31:53 > 0:31:58So we're left with Tor and David. Remember, the last one over is out.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00I don't see how Tor can catch David now.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Mind you, David looks in trouble.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04If Tor can make this jump,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07and she can! She actually climbs over David to the finish line!
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- David is out of the game. - CHEERING
0:32:09 > 0:32:11I'm sorry.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15I don't believe it!
0:32:15 > 0:32:19That was the most excruciating, painful thing
0:32:19 > 0:32:21I've ever had to watch in my life!
0:32:21 > 0:32:27Tor practically stood on your back, and head and jumped over you. What have you got to say about that?
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Luck and fate have been on her side, so good on you. Well done.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33I don't have to do it again - yes!
0:32:33 > 0:32:37An inspiring blend of sportsmanship and cowardice there.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40So, just five remain, and they must now face
0:32:40 > 0:32:45the most terrifying obstacle known to man - the Teeter Totters.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50Seriously, no-one thought of a scarier name than Teeter Totters?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Satan's Seesaws would be better. No? OK, fine.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57Again, the slowest of or five dizzy competitors after this round
0:32:57 > 0:33:01will be eliminated from the show. Let's go back down to the course.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09The dizzy dummy piece of equipment was developed to train astronauts,
0:33:09 > 0:33:14although the Argentinian space programme never really took off... literally.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Too dizzy. - HOOTER
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Here they go again.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Just five contestants remain. The last one across is eliminated.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29- Ooh, Stevie!- Stevie's straight in there.- Oh!
0:33:29 > 0:33:33The others seem to be dancing around on the turntable.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Like zombies from the Michael Jackson Thriller video.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Steve's making this look easy.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51One leap to go and Steve will be through.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Come on, Steve. It's a big leap - leap!
0:33:57 > 0:33:58He's done it!
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- He's done it!- Oh, yes!
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Justine and Liam try the team approach.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Oh, that's gotta hurt.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Yes, Amanda, that probably did.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Oh, and a huge leap from Justine. She's made it as well.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Can Liam make it into third?
0:34:24 > 0:34:27I hope he does. Come on, lovely little Liam!
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Will his little legs carry him?
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- Oh, no!- Ohh!
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Tor is making good use of her second chance.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Well, Tor is on the final table.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Can she tip it and make the leap? - Come on, this is...
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- Oh!- Oh!
0:34:46 > 0:34:48So near!
0:34:48 > 0:34:51It seems we have a bit of a problem on our hands.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56With no-one else making it over, they've been given a five-minute limit to complete the course.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00If they don't manage it in that time, we'll go to sudden death.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Oh, this is going to be a disaster! - Don't you dare fall!
0:35:04 > 0:35:09So, one way or another, one of the remaining three is going out.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19What do I do now?!
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Desperation is setting in.
0:35:21 > 0:35:27With the seconds ticking away, Liam and Tor are launching a final assault on the Teeter Totters.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Two people working together,
0:35:30 > 0:35:32united against the odds.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35It's like Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid
0:35:35 > 0:35:37but in knee pads and life jackets.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40He needs her to drop off the other side to tilt it.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42He's gone in!
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Oh, that was painful to watch.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- HOOTER - That's it, that's the horn.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51The five minutes is up and only Justine and Steve made it across.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53We must now enter sudden death.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58We'll re-spin Liam, George and Tor before sending them back over the Dock Maze.
0:35:58 > 0:36:03The first to cross will join Judo Justine and Extreme Steve in the Wipeout Zone.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05HOOTER
0:36:05 > 0:36:10So, it's another spin cycle for Liam, George and Tor.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Remember, this is the third time they've been spun.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16I don't think this'll be feeling good right now.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19But at stake is that last remaining place in the final.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24HOOTER
0:36:24 > 0:36:26This is it.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28First one over.
0:36:29 > 0:36:34Tor is the first one to set off, looking like she means business...
0:36:34 > 0:36:35if a bit dizzy.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Oo-ooh!
0:36:36 > 0:36:41Remember, only the first across will make it through to the Wipeout Zone.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43So, George, you might want to get moving.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- Liam wobbling up in the background. - Come on, it's sudden death!
0:36:47 > 0:36:51In a last-minute push, Liam is trying to get back in the game.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53There's a sense of desperation.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Liam is getting feisty!
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Three people competing for one place.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00There IS desperation here.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04Tor in front, Liam following George at the rear,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06but the order could yet change.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Scrambling for that place in the final,
0:37:09 > 0:37:11and the Tornado has run away with it
0:37:11 > 0:37:14and secured her place in the final.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Oh, Liam is gutted.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17Never mind.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20So that's it. We have our three finalists -
0:37:20 > 0:37:23the Tornado, Judo Justine and Extreme Steve.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25But their journey isn't over yet.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28In fact, things are just about to step up a gear.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36I did get a second chance, but I made it through two further rounds
0:37:36 > 0:37:42and, yeah, a bit jammy, but I owe it to myself. I'll try my hardest.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50To get through to the Wipeout Zone, I'm just...ecstatic, really.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56I've never been so tired in my entire life. It looked so easy.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57I totally underestimated it.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Just think of the hardest thing you've ever done in your life
0:38:01 > 0:38:04and times it by a million and that's still not hard enough.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08I think it's fantastic that there are two girls in the final.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13The boys are all so tall and strong that, for Justine and I to be here
0:38:13 > 0:38:15is just amazing.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19I think it shows that girls are just as good as blokes.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27My strongest competition going into the Wipeout Zone is Justine.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31I won't write off Tor. She's come through and surprised us all.
0:38:31 > 0:38:37She's been sneaky, Tor, getting up here. I'm worried about her too.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41It'll be hard. My heart will be in my mouth, but I'll give it a shot.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44We'll just hope the others fall off a lot.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Getting this far and not winning will be a bit sad.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Everyone wants to win. Second and third place is toughest, I think.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56I would love to win this competition. The money is great,
0:38:56 > 0:39:01but the competition element of it is driving me more than the money.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05It's just about proving to myself that I can beat whoever I want to.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11I know that when I'm sat at the top of that slide, my heart will be
0:39:11 > 0:39:16jumping through my wetsuit. I'll be loving every moment of it,
0:39:16 > 0:39:18but it's gonna be pretty scary.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22I think it'll be really loud, but strangely deafeningly quiet as well.
0:39:22 > 0:39:28I'm gonna beat that boy. He's gonna give me a good run for his money.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30It's still anyone's game.
0:39:33 > 0:39:38To find the ultimate champion, we need the ultimate test - the Wipeout Zone.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Only the best of the best will become today's
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Total Wipeout champion and carry home that £10,000 prize.
0:39:49 > 0:39:55So, Tor, Steve and Justine will hit the course with a 50ft slide down the killer surf.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Then it's on to the barrel run.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Then they must edge their way along the Wipeout Wall
0:40:06 > 0:40:10and jump onto the fast-revolving spinner,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13traverse the rolling beam...
0:40:13 > 0:40:18and finally face the launch pads leading to that finish podium.
0:40:18 > 0:40:25The person with the quickest time will be crowned Total Wipeout champion and walk away with £10,000.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27That's almost 3½ euros.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31So, they've made it through the mud, they've spun themselves dizzy
0:40:31 > 0:40:35and they're at the final hurdle, but the big question is,
0:40:35 > 0:40:37will they be fast enough?
0:40:37 > 0:40:41We're just about to find out because first up is Tor.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47HOOTER
0:40:47 > 0:40:50And there goes Tor, down the killer surf.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Nice landing!
0:40:53 > 0:40:56She must move as quickly as possible through that water.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00She has two very fit people in the queue behind her.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Now she has to face the first major obstacle -
0:41:05 > 0:41:07the barrel run.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11Each oil drum, rolling towards her, weighs 50 kilos.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Oh, no! Oh!
0:41:15 > 0:41:20Forget jumping them, Tor can barely see over them! That's gotta hurt.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35Such a brave effort. Tor makes it safely over to the Wipeout Wall.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38This is a climbing wall with a difference
0:41:38 > 0:41:41because there are 2,000 litres of water
0:41:41 > 0:41:44pouring over the top of it every minute.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48To make it through here, our competitors need
0:41:48 > 0:41:50serious upper-body strength.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52And even more...
0:41:52 > 0:41:54well, just determination.
0:41:56 > 0:42:01As she's first up, Tor is setting the benchmark for the others.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05The slower she goes, the easier it is for her fellow competitors.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09She's cleared the wall,
0:42:09 > 0:42:13now she has to catch a ride on the 25ft-wide spinner.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14Come on, Tor.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Great jump! She's on.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Oh, she's...!
0:42:21 > 0:42:23That is precarious.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27She's got to time her leap onto the platform.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30I can hardly watch!
0:42:31 > 0:42:34She's got to find grip somewhere.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Oh, she's fallen!
0:42:38 > 0:42:42Now Tor has to swim all the way back to the wall
0:42:42 > 0:42:45to start that obstacle again.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50This could be a huge problem.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Tor's spent a lot of her strength after that fall.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58The Wipeout Wall was difficult enough on the first attempt.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01I can't see anything!
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- To have to do this again now... - I have got nothing in me.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Oh, this isn't looking good for Tor. She's...
0:43:10 > 0:43:12She's exhausted.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16It's just gotta be sapping everything she's got.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18- She's throwing in the towel.- Oh, I'm sorry!
0:43:23 > 0:43:26And that proves just how difficult this Wipeout Zone really is.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36Oh, you poor, poor thing!
0:43:36 > 0:43:40Tor, I mean... You just ran out of puff, didn't you?
0:43:40 > 0:43:41What happened?
0:43:41 > 0:43:44- BREATHLESSLY:- There weren't enough little cubbyhole things
0:43:44 > 0:43:47for me to grab on to whilst climbing up the ladder.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50All right, Tor, go join the rest of the guys. Thank you.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54Well, the underdog didn't make it. Poor Tor!
0:43:54 > 0:43:57The next contender for Total Wipeout glory
0:43:57 > 0:43:59has been one of the strongest competitors all day.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01It's "Judo" Justine.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04So, Justine's up next, and is in the unusual position
0:44:04 > 0:44:06of not having a time to beat.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09She's also in the unusual position of being on top
0:44:09 > 0:44:12of a massive flaming slide in a big rubber ring!
0:44:12 > 0:44:14A great start
0:44:14 > 0:44:17as she cuts through the water at a fast pace.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25She's looking strong already.
0:44:25 > 0:44:27Onto the barrel roll.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30Justine doesn't know that Tor has given up.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32So, as far as she's concerned,
0:44:32 > 0:44:34she's got to be as quick as possible.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36And here come the barrels.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41And she IS being quick.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43She looks steady and strong.
0:44:43 > 0:44:44Onto the wall.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47Will she succeed here
0:44:47 > 0:44:49where Tor struggled so valiantly but failed?
0:44:49 > 0:44:51Keeping her centre of gravity low -
0:44:51 > 0:44:53clever thinking there.
0:44:56 > 0:44:592,000 litres of freezing water a minute.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02It just wants to knock you off.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16She looks like she's gonna make it, and she has.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18Now the spinner.
0:45:18 > 0:45:20Will Justine be able to grab onto something
0:45:20 > 0:45:22if she makes the initial leap onto it?
0:45:23 > 0:45:27- She's on - strong jump. - She's landed in one piece.
0:45:29 > 0:45:34She looks secure on there. Now she has to jump off.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37Where she'll stop, nobody knows!
0:45:37 > 0:45:38She's got to leap.
0:45:38 > 0:45:39And she's...
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Oh, she's off!
0:45:41 > 0:45:43She seemed so in control,
0:45:43 > 0:45:45but her judgement was a tiny bit out, and that was enough.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53We've been here before, and we know how hard it can be
0:45:53 > 0:45:57to get back onto that wall and haul yourself across.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00under the weight of that water.
0:46:00 > 0:46:01But she does it.
0:46:05 > 0:46:06She clears the wall.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10Readies herself for the leap onto the spinner.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13Come on, Justine! You can do it!
0:46:15 > 0:46:18She's gotta time this jump... And she's made that.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20Falling off is not an option
0:46:20 > 0:46:22if she wants that £10,000 prize.
0:46:22 > 0:46:23The 15-foot rolling beam now.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25It's free-moving, this,
0:46:25 > 0:46:28so it requires balance and, well, amazing speed.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Good work.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34Just the launch pads left now.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36Onto the second one,
0:46:36 > 0:46:39and then she'll make the leap to the podium.
0:46:39 > 0:46:40She's on...
0:46:40 > 0:46:43She's overshot! So near!
0:46:43 > 0:46:47Just threw herself onto it a bit too hard,
0:46:47 > 0:46:48shot off the other edge,
0:46:48 > 0:46:50and that will cost Justine valuable seconds.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53Back onto the launch pads.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55Come on, Justine.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57First one dispatched.
0:46:57 > 0:47:02She still looks strong after all she's been through.
0:47:02 > 0:47:06- Come on, Justine! - Second launch pad now.
0:47:11 > 0:47:12Yes!
0:47:12 > 0:47:15One last leap
0:47:15 > 0:47:18and Justine will complete the Wipeout Zone
0:47:18 > 0:47:22and make it to that podium and stop the clock.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28She made it. She made it!
0:47:28 > 0:47:30And now we have a time to beat.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Justine looked like she might fail,
0:47:37 > 0:47:41but her grit and determination saw her through
0:47:41 > 0:47:43to the bitter end.
0:47:47 > 0:47:51Why are you annoyed? I heard you say you were so annoyed.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53I just kept falling!
0:47:53 > 0:47:55I fell, like, three times.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58The one thing that you don't know right now
0:47:58 > 0:48:02is that Tor actually quit halfway through.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04- Oh!- She threw in the towel.
0:48:04 > 0:48:05- Yeah.- So...
0:48:05 > 0:48:07You wanna know your time?
0:48:07 > 0:48:10You made that...
0:48:10 > 0:48:13- in 6:51.- Thank you.
0:48:13 > 0:48:17It's anybody's game. Stay with me here, because Steve is up next.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20HEARTBEAT THUMPS
0:48:20 > 0:48:24So, it's our final competitor - Steve.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28He has no idea how the other two finalists did,
0:48:28 > 0:48:33so he's got to throw everything he's got
0:48:33 > 0:48:36at getting around this course in the fastest time.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43Well, it was a strong start and a strong swim.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46How will he fare on the barrel run?
0:48:52 > 0:48:54He's not even giving
0:48:54 > 0:48:56the barrels a chance to start rolling!
0:48:57 > 0:48:59This is looking very fast straight away.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02Steve could already be posing a serious threat
0:49:02 > 0:49:03to Justine's 6:51.
0:49:11 > 0:49:16Choosing his handholds carefully on the wall.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26He's cleared the wall. It's the spinner next.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28Tor and Justine both fell off this.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Can Steve make it?
0:49:31 > 0:49:33He's on.
0:49:33 > 0:49:34He's got to time his jump.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44- Aaah!- He's off! He's gone as well.
0:49:44 > 0:49:45Yes!
0:49:45 > 0:49:47Justine's looking happy back there.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50The jump slightly mistimed.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52His legs go wide and he's in the water.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56Back to the wall, then, for Steve.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59He's not letting that affect his confidence.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01Still looks strong.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12Pretty much just stepping onto the spinner there.
0:50:12 > 0:50:16Now timing the exit to be ready for the rolling beam.
0:50:17 > 0:50:19Yep, he's made it.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26Harder than it looks, the beam. It rolls free.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29But, well, you couldn't make it look much easier!
0:50:29 > 0:50:31Nearly lost it at the end, though.
0:50:33 > 0:50:34Onto the launch pads.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36Focusing himself.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42Onto the first pad, onto the second...
0:50:42 > 0:50:43He's straight off!
0:50:43 > 0:50:45He could be in trouble here.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51Just straight off the edge.
0:50:54 > 0:50:55As Steve climbs up the ladder,
0:50:55 > 0:50:58the seconds now ticking away.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01He must be feeling every one of them.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06Final run across the launch pads now.
0:51:11 > 0:51:12Oh!
0:51:12 > 0:51:13I don't believe this!
0:51:13 > 0:51:17Steve's actually trying to throw the title away.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20Justine very much back in contention here.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Aaah!
0:51:23 > 0:51:26This is where the Wipeout Zone gets you.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28It's simple enough - it just hurts.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38Come on! You can do this.
0:51:38 > 0:51:40As he climbs back onto those launch pads,
0:51:40 > 0:51:42he can't make the same mistake three times?
0:51:42 > 0:51:46Well, there's nothing in the rule book that says he can't.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Focusing now.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51£10,000 at stake, and he knows it. Making his move!
0:51:52 > 0:51:54He's made it!
0:51:56 > 0:51:58And with a time of 4:53,
0:51:58 > 0:52:00he has done it!
0:52:00 > 0:52:04Steve Appleby is Total Wipeout's second ever champion.
0:52:04 > 0:52:09But he doesn't know that yet, so back to the course.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14Steve, you're the Total Wipeout champion!
0:52:14 > 0:52:17Ye-e-ah! Whoo!
0:52:17 > 0:52:19Yeah!
