I think it's another good example of the rules somewhat hampering an event: had Pauline swung back on the last pole like Fox did, she wouldn't have won. Fox swung back like the rules state, and therefore should have won.

John Anderson... I never liked him.

@jaradoref Apologies for the delay. The rules state that there should be at least one swing backwards before traversing to the next pole. If you look at about 4:20, David doesn't swing backwards at all - I believe Ace was DQ'd for something similar in the same series.

wow you guys over in the UK really took our show and ran with it. you guys added some cool events i gotta hand it to ya. Pendulum is crazy and this is just nuts

[jaradoref]

@AddersP I never really watched the later series, what is the backswing rule?

[AddersP]

Looking at David vs Wolf, I'm sure David should have been DQ'd because of the backswing rule. Never mind tho, it's over 12 years ago now.

ha, thats so weird, i saw this episode 2day on challenge, think vertigo was a good game and i thought the music during it was really gd, shame that it was only around 4 a couple of seasons.

Great music, but is it me or does the opening refrain sound like Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding Out For a Hero'?
