(hence the episode title reference). This episode also saw the first ever all-female Wipeout Zone. This is the 2nd time it rained on Wipeout. In this episode, two-thirds of the qualified contestants were female.

Episode 4: The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Hot Pants

• Notes: * The first siblings on Wipeout, the three Gipe sisters were dubbed "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Hot Pants" by the two Johns (hence the episode title reference). ** Scotty Granger is the brother of Indiana Pacers' Danny Granger and great-nephew of the "Queen of Gospel", Mahalia Jackson, and the first person able to cross the Sweeper Run successfully.

The 6 eliminated players from the King of the Mountain were then put into a random draw to take his place in which Catherine Jansen won. This is the first time a situation like this happened. *** Jason Goldman said "This is the most ridiculous thing I ever done!" just like it was heard on the Title.

Episode 6: Celebrity Style

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. 3:23.9 is the fastest team qualifier in Wipeout history!

Episode 9: Stop, Listen & Wipeout

She also became the first female Wipeout champion in Season 2 in regulation episodes where there were men in the Wipeout Zone. ** Although he lost, Dr. Skinny still finished the Wipeout Zone. *** Caleb Guevara became the third person to easily clear the Big Balls. **** Blake Snedeker became the first person to cross the Sucker Punch in Season 2 (Conrad Maag also cleared, but it wasn't shown). ***** Tanya Perrin became the only Canadian contestant to be allowed in the series. Keven Lavis came in with the worst time in the Bucking Bull other than WIlliam Hill who will have the very worst time in All Stars episodes.

Episode 10: Wipeout, Like A Brother

Notes: * Cara & Stephanie Berline became the first set of twins to compete on Wipeout. John Henson can't tell which is which, so when John Anderson said that Stephanie was starting the course, John Henson said that Cara's at the start again. 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.
