Poundabout

The Poundabout is an obstacle, used as the third obstacle in the Qualifier of Season 5’s Summer Wipeout, replacing the Snow Fall from Winter Wipeout. It was interchanged with a modified Jiggle-ator as the first post-Big Balls obstacle for the rest of the season.

Contestants must run across the beam and around three holes to the other side while avoiding a series of objects rotating towards them. There is a stationary bar at the beginning that makes the objects swing.

The objects vary in each episode:

Season 5’s Poundabout (with swinging sweeper bars)

• In episodes 9 and 14, there were swinging sweeper bars that contestants must jump over.

Season 5’s Poundabout (with eyeglasses)

• In episodes 11 and 17, there were eyeglasses that contestants must jump through.

Season 5’s Poundabout (Lover's Lane) (with swinging sweeper bars and wind chimes)

• In episodes 15 and 20, there were swinging sweeper bars and wind chimes that contestants must avoid, while in the former episode, it was renamed Lover's Lane, because it was a Blind Date episode.

Season 5’s Poundabout (with spinning blocks)

• In episode 22, there were spinning blocks that contestants must jump over.

Season 5’s Poundabout (with swinging sweeper bar, eyeglass, and wind chimes)

• In episode 24, there was a swinging sweeper bar, an eyeglass, and wind chimes that contestants must avoid.

Only two contestants cleared this obstacle:

• Alec Morse (S5E9)
• David Rios (S5E11)

Coincidentally, the latter later went on to win his respective episode.

It was replaced by both the Trippity Skippity Flippity Doo and the Tongue Twister in Season 6.
