The slime tour is like a side game. A group of people travel cross-Canada to different cities and towns. Local kids run an obstacle course (that's usually very messy) with some sort of theme (Sherlock Holmes, for example). The purpose is to have the in-studio teams guess which team will finish the obstacle course first. If they guess correctly, they win 35 points. An incorrect guess, results in no points scored (or lost).
The Slime Tour winner recieves a Samsung
digital camera, runner up gets usually gets clothing (sometimes an electronic
gadget) and the 2nd runner-up gets a Timex watch. Sometimes these
prizes change, but not usually.
There are 4 'cast' members (plus a crew)
that do the travelling. They are:
Ryan
Belleville is the current host of the Slime Tour. He too is a comedian.
The other 3 members (Akua Otupiri, Christian Hagen, Erin Strimatis) describe each obstacle/stunt and referee it, making sure each kid performs it correctly before moving on to the next challenge.
Shaun
Majumder is a comedian who has performed at the Halifax Comedy Festival
and has even had his own nationally broadcast comedy special. He
is usually referred to as 'Slime-Master Shaun' becasue he hosts the Slime-Tour
as it travels around. His last season as host of the Slime Tour was
2000/2001.
