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:
“There is no longer beauty except in the struggle. No more masterpieces without an aggressive character. Poetry must be a violent assault against the unknown forces in order to overcome them and prostrate them before men.”
—Tommaso Marinetti (1876–1944)
“If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotised by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.”
—Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
