The episode titled East vs. West aired Sunday, May 8, where Trent "The Sailor" Taylor, representing the East, came out on top completing the obstacles ‘Sucker Punch’, ‘Big Red Balls’ and ‘The Sweeper’. Having accomplished all of these, he was the last one standing and therefore got an automatic "bye" to the Final Wipeout Zone. In the Wipeout Zone, the contestant who reaches the final platform and hits the buzzer in the quickest time is declared Wipeout Champion and takes home the spectacular grand prize of $50,000.

Trent is a former resident of Raleigh, a small fishing community on the Northern Peninsula. He now lives in Torbay with his wife and six-month-old daughter and has a career as a second officer on a ship. He watched the show faithfully and wanted someday to take the obstacle course for himself. When auditions for Wipeout Canada, Trent got his chance and he went all the way. He is now Wipeout Canada Champion and the winner of $50,000. As for what he is going to do with his winnings, he intends for one-half to go towards his daughter’s education; he will have some fun with the rest, he says.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join with me in congratulating Mr. Taylor on his accomplishment and to wish him well in his future endeavours.
