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:
“Language is the amber in which a thousand precious and subtle thoughts have been safely embedded and preserved. It has arrested ten thousand lightning flashes of genius, which, unless thus fixed and arrested, might have been as bright, but would have also been as quickly passing and perishing, as the lightning.”
—Richard Chenevix Trench (1807–1886)
“The lightning there is peculiar; it is so convincing! When it strikes a thing, it doesn’t leave enough of that thing behind for you to tell whether—well, you’d think it was something valuable, and a Congressman had been there.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
