Season 3's Overdrive

The Overdrive is an obstacle, used as the second round in Season 3, replacing both the Sweeper and King of the Mountain from the previous season. It was interchanged with the Double Cross throughout the season.

The twelve contestants stand on a 10-foot-high starting platform as a steering wheel moves in a circular motion. They must enter the steering wheel on the green spot, exit off the red spot, and cross one of the three obstacles: the Unstable Table, the Banana Hammock, and the Spinning Green Ball to the finish platform. They also have to avoid the nasty yellow windshield wipers and four sweeper arms rotating in the opposite direction. If they wipeout or go under one of the sweeper arms, they must head back and start all over. The first six contestants to make it across move on to the next round.

It was first introduced in the Wipeout Blind Date episode, and then became a regular seen obstacle in Season 3.

Variations:
In episodes 1 and 12, blind date couples or families had to have both members make it across to advance, while in the latter episode, there was water raining down on the contestants.
In episode 4, there was paint raining down on the contestants.
In episode 5, there was water and foam raining down on the contestants.
In episode 17, there was foam raining down on the contestants.

In Season 4, it was replaced by the Ski Lift.
