Lightning Round
Round three was called the "Survival Round". One contestant from each team had to answer questions (at 150 points each) while the other contestant was "imprisoned". At the end of 39 seconds (not a typo), the team in the lead won the game. The "imprisoned" contestant on the losing team was then "trashed" him/herself by being either publicly humiliated or made to come face to face with their "worst fear" by Mark the Trasher and several supporting comedians.
Examples included:
- Getting doused with slime, gravy, milk, eggs, chocolate syrup, etc.
- Getting his/her head shaved.
- Male contestants wearing dresses.
- Mark and his fellow cast members would have a party in which they would each too much junk food and vomit on the contestant.
- Mark and several others spitting tobacco on the contestant.
- A very bad singer serenades the contestant while the contestant is being humiliated.
- A old lady (played by Mark the Trasher in drag) would force the contestant to eat spoiled food.
- At one point, Mark the Trasher appeared out of a box and took off one contestant's shoes and socks, messaged his feet, and doused them with cheese sauce.
The winners moved on to the final round, while the losers left with a tacky parting gift such as a Simpsons chess set and were also required to do 10 hours community service (to go with the "trash" theme.)

Famous quotes containing the word lightning:
“We sail across dominions barely seen, washed by the swells of time. We plow through fields of magnetism. Past and future come together on thunderheads and our dead hearts live with lightning in the wounds of the Gods.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“God from the mount of Sinai, whose grey top
Shall tremble, he descending, will himself
In thunder lightning and loud trumpets’ sound
Ordain them laws; part such as appertain
To civil justice, part religious rites
Of sacrifice, informing them, by types
And shadows, of that destined seed to bruise
The serpent, by what means he shall achieve
Mankind’s deliverance.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
