“ULTRA DARE” presents “CHRISTMAS CHOAS: REINDEER SNOTS VS COOKIE CRUMBS”
Steve: On your mark, Get Set, and Go!
(We see one member of each kid team tossing cherries and chocolate chips peaces to their team mate on the other side of the stage.)
Thomas: These two teams are making chocolate cherry ice cream. The first team to toss four cherries and four chocolate pieces and dump milk on themselves will “Ho Ho Ho!” in the lead with $10 dollars on the only show that suits wish they had coal in their stockings: Ultra Dare!”
(The blue team member dumps milk on herself.)
Steve: We got a winner: the Blue Team. Now let's go play some Ultra Dare.
Thomas: And here some the Master of the Mess, Steve Slyme.
Steve: Thanks, Thomas Talk. Do you know where Santa is at?”
(Pan to Thomas dresses up as Santa Claus)
Thomas: (jokingly) I still got a lot of gift making to do, but don't worry, Santa will come whether it's high water or a blizzard.
(Pan back to Steve who's at his Ultra Dare host platform.)
Steve: Welcome to a special episode, the network suit called “Christmas Chaos”: We got two teams to meet. Our first team is dress is blue and they call themselves the “Reindeer Snot”. They are Jessica and James. Jessica has a weakness that reminds me of Santa Claus: what is it?
Jessica: I never meet a cookie I didn't like.
Steve: James wants to a host show. What's show is that.
James: Ultra Dare.
(The audience laugh out loud.)
Steve: The “Reindeer Snots” had $10 for winning the first round toss-up. Now, we going over to our team dressed in red which is called “Cookie Crumbs” – Carol and Trent Carol, you have a weird event from last year's Christmas season – what was it.”
Carol: I played Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer in a school play. During opening night, the person who played Santa Claus knocked the fake red nose off me. When Santa Claus got around to asking Rudolph to glide his sleigh, I replied, “As soon I catch my nose, it's running away.”
(The audience laugh out loud.)
Steve: Ho Ho Ho! Looks like the audience is a jolly mood today. Speaking of weird things, Trent. You meet Santa Claus in your own house last Christmas season.
Trent: That's right. I was sick around Christmas season. On Christmas Eve, I sleep from 6:00 PM to 11:59 PM. On awaking, Santa Claus dressed up in his usual red outfit. He said, “Your mother left the front door open for me.” I fell back to sleep thinking meeting Santa was dream but it turn out it was real when I saw the note from Santa when I woke up on Christmas morning....
Steve: Nice story. You don't have any money on the door, but that could change any moment. Here's how we play Ultra Dare: I'm going to ask you a question for 10 dollars. If you don't know – you dare the other team – but beware they can Ultra Dare you back – then you either had the answer the question or take a physical challenge. When you heard this (instead of the regular buzz a spooky voice says “I am the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come”. The “Reindeer Snots” have control of this $10 dollar question: Where does Santa Claus live?
Jessica: The North Pole.
Steve: Correct! What do you call Santa's workshop helpers?
James: Elves.
Steve: Correct!
Steve: Who is the first ghost to visit Ebeneezer Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol”?
James: Dare.
Steve: Chance for you to get into the game, Cookie Crumbs”: Who is the first ghost to visit Ebeneezer Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol”
James: Jacob Malory.
Steve: Correct. You on the board. You can tie the game up. Who hosted the Franklin/Bass special, “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer”?
Trent: Sam the Snowman.
Steve: Correct. This Christmas cult classic movie was a failure at the box office, but it become a holiday favorite on television. Name the movie?
Carol: Dare
Steve: You can take some cash and control if you can answer the question: This Christmas cult classic movie was a failure at the box office, but it become a holiday favorite on television. Name the movie?
James: Ultra Dare.
Steve: Even you can answer the question or take the physical challenge.
Carol: Physical challenge!
Steve: Ok. The answer we looking for is “It's a Wonderful Life.” Let's get messy. We call this one, “Snowball Fright”. Carol, go see Dove, Trent go see Biff.
(Two crew members pull in a bar with nine reindeers toys on it.) Steve walks to Trent and Biff. Trent is holding a bar.
Steve: As you see the goal is to knock down four of the nine reindeers here. How are you going to knock them down? With frozen vanilla puddling. If you two can knock four out of the nine reindeers in 20 seconds – you earn 40 bucks for yourselves. On your mark, get set, go!
(The Cookie Crumbs – Carol and Trent – start throwing the frozen vanilla puddling at the reindeers toys – knock them all done before the five second mark.)
Steve: Nice work! We will be right back after this commercial break with more of round #1.
=UD=
Steve: Ok. We are still in round #1. Mental Note to myself: Do not get into a Sword ball fight with the Cookie Crumbs – as they give Rudolph and his pal a snowball fright worry of Nick Nightmare. THAT earn them $70 and they get this question: What is the animal is mention at the start of Twas The Night Before Christmas?”
Trent: A muse.
Steve: Correct. Name the ill boy from “A Christmas Carol.”
Carol: Tiny Tim.
Steve: Correct. Black Friday is takes place after this holiday – name the holiday.
Carol: Dare.
Steve: You can get to catch up, Reindeer Snots,if you can the question: Black Friday is takes place after this holiday – name the holiday.
Jessie: Ultra Dare.
Steve: Answer the question or take the physical challenge.
Trent: Thanksgiving.
Steve: Nice move. You are correct.
Voice: “I Am The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come!”
Steve: That means Round #1 is done. It's 140 to 30 in favorite of the Cookie Crumbs – but the point are double in Round #2 – so it can anyone's game.
=UD=
Steve: Welcome back. The Cookie Crumbs' are leading with 140 to the Reindeer Snots' 30. But the point double are in Round #2 – 20 for a question, 40 on a Dare, and 80 for a Ultra Dare or Physical challenge. When you heard this....
Voice: “I Am The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come!”
Steve: That means the game is over!
(Walks over to Dove's side of the stage to see a two eight platters plate hook to a pole in to look like a pair of un-ornament-ed in the form of a Christmas and James and Trent of the teams ) As you can see we have a plastic Christmas tree here, but aren't any ornaments on the tree. That's going to change soon.
(Walks over to Biff's side of the stage to see Jessica and Carol standing near a top of red and green slime-covered Christmas ornaments.)
Steve: We have the ornaments – since since this Ultra Dare, we like slime – we make sure to cover the ornaments in a red and green slime. When I said “Go”, you two will grab a ornament and toss to their teammate who must catch them in the air and then place them on the tree. The first person to get eight Christmas ornaments on the Christmas gets $20 bucks and control of Round #2. Good luck to both of you. On you mark, get set, go! (The kids start to work on the stunt. Things go slowly for a while but soon Carol starts tossing two at team – and Trent catching them. Soon, the Cookie Crumbs has eight slime-covered ornaments on their Christmas.) We have a winner, it's the Cookie Crumbs. You get the $20 dollars. Let's play Round #2.
(Everyone returns to their locations: Steve Slyme to his host platform, the Reindeer Snots to the blue team's platform, and the Cookie Crumb to the red team's platform.)
Steve: Answer this question: Mt. Crumpet, the
home of The Grinch, is near what fictional town?
Carol: Dare
Steve: You catch up with this question, Reindeer Snots: Mt. Crumpet, the home of The Grinch, is near what fictional town?
Jessica: Whoville?
Steve: Correct. You stolen money and the questions – and here's your next one: What fictional creature is the Bumble from “Rudolph, Red Nose Reindeer” TV special is based on?
James: The Yeti?
Steve: We take that. Here's your next question? What is Christmas call in the “Star Wars” galaxy?
James: Dare.
Steve: Cookie Crumbs, you can steal money and control if you answer this question: What is Christmas call in the “Star Wars” galaxy?
Carol: Ultra Dare.
Steve: Either you can answer the question or take the $80 physical challenge.
Jessica: Physical challenge!
Steve: The answer is “Life Day”. So Reindeer Snots, come on down – we got a physical challenge. (The Reindeer Snots comes down to the physical challenge area.) I got a question, what do your parents drink around the holiday?
Jessica: Root beer.
James: Diet soft drink.
Steve: Well, we thinking more of an alcohol base: wine.
(Dove pushes out a aquarium with a hose attach. The aquarium is fill with purple balloons.)
Steve: Jessica take a sit down. (Dove puts a plastic cup on Jessica head. Dove hands two fake legs to James.) This purple balloons are fill with grape juice. Jessica use those fake legs to crush the balloon to unleash the grape juice which will flow though those hose and into the cup that James's plastic cup. If you can fill the plastic cup past the red line in 30 second, you will be only 40 dollars behind the Cookie Crumbs. On you mark, get set, go!
(Jessica uses the fake legs to squash the balloons, trying to get as much juice as she can before time is up)
Steve: Time up. (Check as Steve the cup. It's not even near the red line – though they is few holes in the hose.) That means the #80 dollars go to the other team! Let's go play some more Ultra Dare.
Voice: “I Am The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come!”
Steve: (blinks). It's the end of the game. And with $240 – that would the usually allows Carol and Trent, the Cookie Crumbs to run the Ultra Dare Obstacle by themselves – but this is the season of giving – I'm going to allow the Reindeer Snots to go to.
Biff: (Voice) Don't go away, the Christmas theme Ultra-Dare Obstacle Course is coming your way next.

Oh, he found just as I was making my last remark at the 50 second marking. Looks like Jessica open up the Santa's Mailbox and dive right in the Mailbox, a little dangerous stand-up but she got the flag and passed to James. James quickly climb up the up- slide by putting his foot into the slide's railings, up the ladder to the top of the platform and he goes down. Standing up in the turkey mess, he grapes the flag for this obstacle, and passes the flag to Jessica. Jessica rushes to the Elf Stuffed Toy Testing Room, get past the stuff animals to get a flag and rushes outside to meet one of her ex-competitor – it's seems to be Trent! Trent grabs the flag. We at the half-way point of both time and the course as Trent hits “Gift Hunt” he tosses out all the clothing and items in the truck to find the orange flag and he founds it in 7 seconds.
