'Chapel Challenge' -- an unusual event involving a conveyor belt, water and 'Mad Hatter' costumes. The guy (mad hatter) seated the girl (Alice) on a seat on a conveyor belt leading to the small pool, while he ran through an obstacle course to obtain spires for the chapel. The rest is too complicated to explain.
'Musketeers', a weirder than usual event, in which competitors dressed as musketeers and suspended by cables, attempted to pierce opposition musketeers' plastic water-containing abdomens with their fencing swords. Get it?
Now, we don't dispute the referee's decision often, but the lineslady had A LOT to answer for on this one. (Go Vermont).
'Peanuts', known in some series as 'Family', presented great scope for (hem hem) cheating (and injuries). Just don't try and run too fast, or you'll bring down your whole team and probably end up salted.

Note the colourful backdrop of the stadium, which was a common sight in the show, and influenced our tastes in interior decoration.
In 'Springball', team members launched balls through a suspended hoop while standing on the galleon's 'plank'...
...jump off the plank onto the water and push the ball (while in the air) to a pontoon lady, who has a lacrosse-type stick to catch it with.
She then deposits the ball into a counting device.
In the background are the flats, the residents of which (we believe) are partly to blame for It's a Knockout's axing.
An unprecedented and exciting three-way tie for Eltham, Toowoomba and Norwood. As a result of this unusual situation, each team was awarded four state points (equivalent to an outright second placing). This also cleared the show out of its supply of board games, which were usually given to the winning team. This prompted Billy J. Smith to say "Bring on the semi-finals!". I suppose you had to be there.
