Assault Course (Italian Version From 2010)
In the Assault Course round, approximately six selected contestants from each team have to make their way around an assault course consisting of:
- A slippery slope and slide
- A pool crossed by jumping on to floating pontoons
- A pool crossed by leaping across padded rollers
The contestants remain fully dressed and must participate in the clothes that they were already wearing to the show, although they are given trainer shoes, and elbow and knee protectors.
Some contestants cannot make it up the slippery slope and are eliminated from the round. Almost all contestants fall into one of the two pools in clothes ranging from casualwear or fancy dress to expensive dresses or suits which are ruined by the water. The pools are approximately 1.3m deep and filled with cold water, and falling from the rollers results in total immersion.

Famous quotes containing the words assault and/or version:
“Among women.—”The truth? Oh, you don’t really know what ‘the truth’ is! Isn’t it an assault on all our pudeurs?””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
