Spiked Fenders

The Spiked Fenders are an obstacle, used as the first obstacle in the Qualifier during episodes 7 and 11 of Season 2.

It is similar to the Fender Bender (which was used as the fourth and final obstacle in the Qualifier of the same season, being interchanged with the Swing Set as the second post-Big Balls obstacle).

It is two sets of three spinning spiky boat fenders placed at different heights that contestants must cross to get to the other side. The heights of the fenders are also at the same heights of the Banana Hammocks (which was used as the first obstacle in the Qualifier during episode 3 of the same season).

Only two contestants cleared this obstacle:

Mona Mahani (S2E7)
Chris Kinyon (S2E11; who later won that episode)

It was replaced by the Diving Board Trapeze and the Sweeper Run (which was used as the first obstacle in the Qualifier during episode 4 of the same season) in both episodes 8 and 12 respectively.

Other Season Appearances[]
