Same, I always thought competing on this one would be better and less painful than in Wipeout, which is pretty much like hell on earth (except the first two seasons, those seem doable and enjoyable to run at least!)
This Episode either feels a Nice Conclusion of the Whole show, or as it Aired a Nice Introduction to the New Season!!! Gildor Left this Episode, Leaving Scabb, Throne and Kook as the Turn to Season 1 to 2...And had the New Defenders/New Courses and the Splatdown *AKA the Episode Episodes* of Season 2!!! I wish This Episode Aired in Australia, you are Lifesaver!!! I loved this so much as an Australian Girl, with ABC3's Kanye and Scotty, and funny with their Fellow Co-Star James as Kook...Even though this Was before he was on ABC3 for him!!! I wish Kook was in the Shack to it's the Main 3 ABC3 Guys Together and 1 has to Act!!!
It really felt like a special episode and a wonderful introduction for the second season of the show. This one was never shown in the Spanish dub either so, when I found it, it felt surreal to see a brand new Splatalot episode after almost a whole decade. I specially liked the entire interview gimmick; also all the interactions between Gildar and Vane, I really wish they could have had that in the rest of the series, but with Gildar leaving, it was impossible. I'm glad you had a good time watching!
