Dan Vs Jon: s17 Mid Season Special

The s17 mid season special is here.  We here at The Splat! Show like to make our mid season specials BIG. Last season it was Phil who had honour to star in our mid season special but this year we were looking for something a bit different. Having already staged a Brother Vs Brother show earlier in the season with Gabriel and Ureil, we thought it would be great if we could finally arrange for Jon and his brother Daniel to star, something we have been talking about close to two years now. Well the stars aligned and our dates matched, it was on. 

This mid-season Brother Vs Brother show is staged as a head to head show. Every round, apart from the Gunge Tank Interview, is open ended. It could either be Jon or Daniel Gunged. We certainly thought it would make a better show if Jon won nearly all the rounds so we could see new guy Daniel in the tank, but we didn’t expect this to actually happen. In fact, Daniel lost every single head to head round! Even in the Pass The Pie Round, where you would both expect to get pied, Daniel came off worse!

We are really proud of this mid season special and we hope it goes some way to make up for the less than usual number of releases so far this season. Jon is again on top form and it was a pleasure to have him back at his natural Gunge Gameshow home and working with the fabulous Daniel for the first time (not the last time) was amazing. He really is a Splat! Star in waiting…now there’s an idea!  

Download today and enjoy this mid-season special, a show extremely worthy of the mid-season moniker.

Daniel Vs Jon Mid-Season Special Features The Following…

Daniel’s Gunge Tank Interview: There is a new guy on The Splat! Show. Sorry Jon, you are not the main attraction in this show. Daniel’s Gunge Tank Interview is the only part of the show where he was guaranteed a gunging. This is the Gunge Tank Interview after all. The Splat! Team with the help of Jon interview Daniel and we talk about why he has come on the show with his Brother and what he expects from the show. Jon is clearly not enjoying having his younger bother take all the limelight as Jon talks nearly as much as Daniel. Of course the interview ends with Daniel’s first (and only guaranteed) Gunging of the show. Watch Jon’s face as he pulls the cord…you will be seeing that expression a lot during this show.

The Buzzer Round:  It’s time for the first head to head game of the show. Remember, we haven’t planned in advance who will get the Gungings, so it’s down to Jon and Daniel to do their best to avoid getting sent into the Gunge Tank. So which bother is best at general knowledge? They have to hit the one buzzer when they think they know the answer. Get it right and score a point, get it wrong and you lose a point. The player with the most correct answers at the end wins with the looser getting sent to the Gunge Tank. 

Race From The Gunge Tank: You could say that Jon has the advantage here having already played this game with Adam in their final head to head feature but maybe that also adds pressure  to perform. Daniel and Jon can only start cycling on the Gunge Bikes when their opponent is answering a question. They must stop when their opponent gives the correct answer. Answer fast to hinder your rival and his distance. Jon and Daniel cycled really hard to try and be the furthest away from the Gunge Tank at the end of the round (even breaking a bike mid game, but we fixed it) but who didn’t go the distance and will instead have to cycle back to get their Gunging!?

Pass The Pie, Brother!:  Pass The Pie is a game that in theory means both participants get messy. The chances that you stay clean and dry are slim. But this round of pass the pie is the first one to be very one sided, with Daniel losing out big time. Daniel doesn’t have luck on his side as he is mercilessly pied by Jon after each question with Jon seemingly avoiding the Pies. Thankfully Daniel does get a bit of payback towards the end landing some killer pie Splats on Jon. But sadly for Daniel this wasn’t enough to stop yet other trip into The Gunge Tank. It’s worth mentioning that Pass The Pie features more than one pie each, contrary to what you might of guessed from the one or two pictures we post to promote our shows.

Tour De Gunge:  Season 17 will feature a season wide competition between select season 17 guests in Tour De Gunge. A exciting, messy and crazy new game with physicality at it’s heart. Each guest has five minutes to cycle as far as they can. The catch? This is Tour De Gunge so the cyclist will have to contend with massive amounts of Gunge, which will hinder their progress. With Daniel getting Gunged in every single game of the show so far, we had Jon take on the Tour De Gunge for our Mid Season Special. With Daniel on hand to try and hinder the ride with lots of gunge and foam, how well will Jon do? Will the golden boy of Splat! Take the top spot? Click here to view the TOUR DE GUNGE LEADER BOARD
