Once the Hot Spot was uncovered, Tomarken would take a token from inside his podium and place it on the desk of the contestant that found it. One of the eleven correct answers was referred to as the "Hot Spot", with a prize attached to it. If all eight correct answers were found, the contestant who gave the last one advanced. They alternated choosing one answer at a time, with a coin toss to decide who would start, and the first contestant to find a wipeout was eliminated. If there was a tie for low score, the tied contestants were given a new category and shown 12 answers (eight right, four wipeouts).
The two contestants with the highest money totals kept their earnings and continued on, while the third place contestant left with parting gifts and, if the contestant had been the champion, any prior winnings.
The round ended once all eleven correct answers were found or if all five wipeouts had been selected. The first correct answer of the round was worth $25, and the value of each subsequent answer increased by $25, with the last one worth $275. After each correct answer, the contestant could either choose again or pass control to the next contestant. The contestant in control chose one answer at a time each correct answer awarded money, while finding a wipeout reset the score to zero and ended his/her turn. The contestant in the leftmost position began the round. Eleven answers were correct, while the five incorrect ones were referred to as "wipeouts". The contestants were given a category and shown 16 possible answers on a 4-by-4 grid of monitors. After several weeks, a returning champion and two new contestants competed. Initially, each game featured three new contestants. Three contestants competed on each episode. The series was produced by Dames-Fraser Productions, and was distributed in first-run syndication by Paramount Domestic Television. Wipeout is an American game show that aired from September 12, 1988, to June 9, 1989, with Peter Tomarken as host.
