1) Slippery Stairs:
AKA: The Obstacle So Bad We Used It Twice
First the contestants have to get up and over this greased slanted foam staircase. The steps upwards are less steep than the set going down on the other side.
2) Sucker Punch:
Next the contestants have to cross a thin ledge against a wall. In the wall are 22 mechanical boxing gloves that will randomly pop out to push the contestants off and into the mud. To help, there are rock-climbing handles on the wall.
3) Big Balls:
This is a row of four giant inflatable rubber balls. To cross a stretch of water, the contestants have to jump from one to another, across the top, to reach a platform at the other end.
4) Wall Swing:
AKA: Washout Cookie Cutter - Just We Couldn't Be Bothered To Cut Out The Hole
To finish, the contestants have to use a rope to swing from a small ramp over, over a stretch of water, and land on a narrow ledge at the bottom of a tall wall. If they don't manage to land on the ledge the contestants must swim around the back and climb some steps to reach the other side of the wall.
Sweeper - Crowbar... Oh, Wait. That's Just A Real Bird On The Arm:
The twelve contestants each stand on a tall podium and have to jump over a rotating arm as it sweeps past them. If they don't, they'll be knocked off and out of the game. The arm gets faster and higher the longer it goes on. The last six remaining on their podiums move onto the next round, but the arm continues to rotate until there is just one person left. This last person wins nothing at all.
Dizzy Dummies - Watching Is More Punishing Than Doing:
The six contestants are strapped into a 'human merry-go-round' and spun at speed for a short time. After being released they have to try and reach the other side of a pool of water.
First they must try and make their way across course A. The last person to the other side loses and is out of the game; the others are spun again. They then have to use course B to make their way across the water. Again the last across is out. Finally they are spun once more and have to cross course A again. The first three across here are though to the next round.
If a contestant falls into the water at any time they must swim back to the beginning and start again.
A) Doughnuts:
AKA: Because The Australians Have Just Blown Them Up For Us
Here there are three massive doughnut-shaped inflatables in a row, making a path across the water. The contestants have to jump from one to another and then onto the finishing platform. To make this harder, the doughnuts are covered in grease so it's really easy to slip off them.
B) Tippy Tables:
AKA: Haven't These Broken Yet?..
These are two rectangular platforms, one after another, that are only secured in the middle. This means that when they're trodden on either side they will tip up. The contestants need to make their way over both, stepping from one to the other, and then jump onto the finishing platform.
1) Killer Surf:
To start, the contestants sit in a giant rubber ring and slide down this tall steep water slide. At the bottom they fly off the end and land in the water below.
2) Barrel Run:
Next, the contestants have to run up a long ramp while jumping over barrels that are being rolled down towards them.
3) Wipeout Wall:
Under a waterfall is a wall with rock-climbing handles and a tiny ledge at the bottom. The contestants need to use this to reach the next obstacle.
4) Spinner:
AKA: Slowly-Turning-er
Now the contestants need to jump onto this turning sloped disk, and then leap off again at the other side. There are ten pillars spread around on the top, so the contestants need to time their jump on right or they won't get on.
5) (Non-)Rolling Beam:
This is a horizontal cylinder that, despite the name, doesn't move at all. The contestants need to cross it to reach the final obstacle.
6) Launch Pads:
These are two small trampolines, one after another. The first is lower down than the second. The contestants need to jump from one to another, and then onto the finish platform where they hit a button to stop the clock.
