This is a comprehensive list of all of the episodes from the fifth season of American game show Wipeout.
*Gabrielle Johnson crossed Weasel Wheel, the Big Balls, and Ballsy's Ski Shop. **Blondie Shana and Diva Amanda both quit during the Cold-Hearted Snake, but Shana and her sister quit first, so the Divas advanced. Since the Winter brothers were the only team to complete the Cold-Hearted Snake, they won $25,000. This was the first episode to have a shocker. *** It wasn't shown, but Vision crossed Ballsy's Ski Shop.
*Jordan Lott and Dorean Amaya each crossed the Big Balls, earning them 500 dollars.
**Even though it wasn't shown Joseph Velazquez, Monica Smith, Jordan Lott, and Steph Sklar each crossed the Buzz Saw.
***Stacey Pearce had a different profile picture shown before the break than the one after the break.
*Eric & Katie Poole earned 1,000 dollars for both completing the Cold-Hearted Snake.
**Jacqueline was the second person to not compete in the Wipeout Zone in a team episode. (Tony Juarez was the first.)
* Katie and Jason both grabbed the penguin on the fourth ball, earning them each 500 dollars.
*Alec Morse was the only contestant to cross Ghoul Trouble and it wasn't shown, but he also crossed the Pound About. He also posted the fastest qualifying time in Season 5.
*Jonathan Wong and Johnny Huston, as well as three unmentioned soldiers, tagged Smallsy on the fourth ball, collecting 500 dollars. **Mark was the first Wipeout Zone quitter this season.
*David Rios was the second contestant to clear the Pound About (Alec Morse was the first). **Dan and Christy were the only team to have both members clear Scaregrounds. Since only one member of each team was necessary to advance, they each collected 1,000 dollars. ***This was the first team Wipeout episode to have only one individual contestant collect the 50 grand, which was a twist. **** The cool coaches came first in every round (which only goes for David Rios). This technically made David Rios the 6th contestant to win every round. (Chuck Trout, Dana Logsdon, Skip Dickinson, Travis Dixon, and Mark Holwick were the others.)
*A.J. Smith tagged Smallsy on the fourth ball, and collected 500 dollars. Travis also tagged smallsy, but did not collect the 500 dollars. This was the first time this happened. *Travis Woiemberghe was the first to clear Spinergy.
*Julian McFadden collected 500 dollars for tagging Smallsy. He was also the first to clear Monkey Business.
** Michael Ayoob was the second to tag Smallsy, although this wasn't seen.
Title quotation from: John Henson, rapping about the "Monkey Business" course in the qualifying round.
*Jeremy, Sara and Marcus each tagged Smallsy on the fourth ball and collected $500. **Jeremy crossed Head Over Heels and the Wipeout Nursery. Chad also crossed the Wipeout Nursery and Ashley also crossed Head Over Heels. Head Over Heels is an obstacle very similar to the Panic Hammocks. ***The Samurai Ninjas were the only team to have both members complete the Scaregound. Since only one member was necessary to advance, they collected 1,000 dollars. ****The Big Ball Bonanza was a bonus round, where the team that travelled the farthest on the Big Balls would collect 5,000 dollars. Zach and Elaina traveled the farthest, and thus they won the bonus cash. In the Big Ball Bonanza nobody gets eliminated.
