Episode 8: Wipeout Couples

 * Notes: In this episode, married couples competed together as teams, with minor rule changes. In the qualifier, both members had to complete the course (although they performed each obstacle one-by-one). In "King of the Mountain" and the "Dizzy Dummy", a couple only advanced if both of their members completed the challenge (but the tasks were still done as in a normal episode). In the Wipeout Zone, both members of the remaining couples played the course separately, scored by their total time. * Shane Harris became the second person to successfully clear the Big Balls and the Fender Bender, and although it wasn't shown, he also cleared the Diving Board Trapeze. Later in the episode, Jenni Johnson became the first female and third overall to conquer the Fender Bender. ** Shane's individual run was the fastest time in the Wipeout Zone in Season 2. *** Brian Schwab became the second contestant to clear the Diving Board Trapeze.

Cara and Stephanie are twins. ** First person to cross the Log Roll successfully. *** Susie Packard became the 4th person, and 2nd female to cross the Fender Bender. **** 3rd to cross the Breakaway Planks.
