It's Time To Face The Holes

Hole in the Wall. The title is self explanatory. Make the shape. Get through the hole and you get points. Get dumped in the pool and you get no points. That’s it. Really.

One particular Hole in the Wall episode features the Six Packs vs. the Beer Bellies. For any other competitive sport it might be clear who the victor would be, but when it comes to fitting through holes, it is equal opportunity for all players.

The Six Packs comprise of an Iraqi War veteran (Jake), a body builder (Anu), and a national arm wrestling competitor (Aaron). All of these skills being completely unnecessary for Hole in the Wall, but they do make them look good in those jumpsuits. Who says sheer, silver fabric can’t be manly?

The Beer Bellies are a group of beer drinking, morning drive DJ’s named Omar, Jonathan, and David. They’re sporting the same jumpsuits as the Six Packs. Not as flattering. Just as silver.

Round One- Solo Wall

First up is Omar. Right away you know that he is headed for the bottom of that pool when you see his hole in the wall- it looks like a cut out of someone doing a backwards high kick.

This will require balance and standing with a leg held in the air. Are you up for the task, Omar? No? Okay. Into the pool it is. Maybe the next hole will be in the shape of a La-Z-Boy, Omar.

“Mom, I let you down.”

Let’s not bring mom into this, Omar. But yes you did.

Next up we have the Six Pack team captain, the Brad Pittesque Jake. Jake’s hole in the wall has Jake sitting in a C-shape. Of course the hottie clears it. Is there anything a six pack can’t do?

Six Packs 1, Beer Bellies 0.

Round Two- Double Holes. Double Ridiculous.

This is a partner round. Up for the Six Packs we have Aaron and Anu. Their hole in the wall is the shape of an upright snow angel. Precious.

Instead of the obvious position, they try a back-to-back strategy. I may not have passed my calculus class, but good luck trying to fit your 5 foot long legs through a 2 foot long hole. We could use a little less six pack and a little more brain. Hope you brought a towel boys, ‘cuz you’re about to get wet.

Jonathan “Beer Mug” and David are up for the Beer Bellies. Their hole in the wall looks a lot like Omar’s, except this time the cut out figure is kicking towards the front. Again, flexibility and balance will be a key factor for the team’s success. Dang it, Beer Bellies! Will you ever catch a break?

Not only do the Beer Bellies not fit through their hole in the wall, but they both get stuck in it, break the wall in two, and go crashing into the water. Is it possible to lose points? Let’s do some stretches before the next hole, boys.

Triple Wall- There’s More?

This round is all in. First up we have the Six Packs. Their hole in the wall is three different jagged line shapes. Squatting, kneeling, and bending, the Six Packs are able to contort their bodies and fit all 18 abs through those holes.

Shake it off, Beer Bellies. Shake it off.

The triple hole in the wall challenge for the Beer Bellies is, well, a hole in the wall. It is one single, circular hole that requires these three grown men to lay one beer belly on top of another. No flexibility required here- success.

Six Packs 4, Beer Bellies 3. The game continues.

Speed Wall- How Fast Can A Wall Move?

The speed wall challenge is double wall speed, double points. Up first are the Six Packs. Captain Jake makes it though his hole, but Aaron and Anu forget about trying to fit through the designated hole and try to jump through the wall and make their own hole. No good, boys. No good. But two more points for the Six Packs.

Beer Bellies up. Their hole in the wall looks like a three-figure progression of someone doing a flip. A challenge that doesn’t require laying down, the Beer Bellies are destined for water. At least they swam as a team. Let’s hit the kegs boys, you lose.

The Six Packs move on to the blind wall. Only one person faces the wall wearing the blackout goggles and their teammates direct them through the hole. A Recipe for disaster. And $100,000. Bring it on.

Doing exactly the opposite of what he’s told, Jake goes right in the water. It’s okay though, they just won $25,000 for fitting through holes in walls.
