The Krypton Factor (1991) - Episode Seven
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1991
In this episode of The Krypton Factor four contestants from Auckland, Hawkes Bay, Dunedin and Wellington tackle 'television's toughest quiz' to decide who will return as a series finalist. The first round focusses on mental agility and word skills. In the second, contestants spot the changes in a mini 'TV detective drama', then the heat is on to correctly assemble a plastic pentagon puzzle. Host Dougal Stevenson's calm commentary reigns throughout. In the fourth round, contestants don track suits and make muddy work of the Burnham Military Camp assault course, before a final general knowledge round.
That's something we don't often see; David's stepped into the water, he must walk the plank again and of course it's still swinging. Steady at first. All this is taking time that he can ill afford to lose...– Contestant David Marrison hits a rough patch on the assault course
