A course filled with new obstacles welcomes 24 competitors, including a John Wayne-abe, a Tiger Lady and a Dog's Best Friend, as they take on new obstacles including Udderly Ridiculous, Swinging in the Rain and Swept Away. The top three will move on to the Swing Blades, Torrential Twisters and Tectonic Planks in the Wipeout Zone, where they will compete for the $50,000 grand prize and a chance to be crowned a Wipeout Champion.

In a special two-hour blind date-themed episode of "Wipeout", co-host Vanessa Lachey introduces single men and women who have never met before, and they are challenged with the toughest first date ever when they run the Wipeout course together as a couple. Just as life presents obstacles that make dating difficult, the Wipeout course this week does the same when couples encounter big challenges while going Head Over Heels promenading down Lovers Lane and eventually land in the Wipeout Nursery. Everybody also gets a chance to show off to their new mate in the first ever Big Ball Bonanza. In the end, only two of the bravest new couples will seal their date fate in the Wipeout Zone. Whether love is in the cards or just money in their hands, two freshly matched people will go home with an enormous $100,000 prize.
