'Screaming Lord' Thomas

**'Screaming Lord' Thomas** was an account manager and part-time model who lived in London, England. He competed in Series 1 Episode 1. He got his nickname because he screamed and squealed around the qualifier course.

## The Qualifier

During the qualifier, Thomas failed the first set of the Topple Towers but cleared the second set. He then cleared the Sucker Punch, but failed the Big Red Balls, touching the third ball. He quickly recovered to attempt the Wall Swing, but he failed that as well. He finished the course with a time of 2:16, the third fastest time of the episode.

## The Sweeper

In the Sweeper, Thomas clapped and screeched throughout the duration of the round and ended up getting third place.

## Dizzy Dummies

### Round 1

In round one of Dizzy Dummies, Thomas was not the first person to get onto the Tippy Tables, but he passed the other competitors while on the obstacle and was the first to make it to the finishing platform.

### Round 2

In round 2, Thomas attempted to use the same aggressive strategy to get a second consecutive win, but it backfired on him as he was the first to fall on the Crazy Beams. He attempted the same technique again, by using his feet only, but failed a second time. On his third attempt, he used a more cautious approach and finished the obstacle, getting fourth place.

### Round 3

During round 3, Thomas was more calm but still failed his first attempt on the Tippy Tables. Since he failed the obstacle near the starting platform, he was able to recover quickly and have the whole obstacle to himself on his second attempt, where he sprinted across the tables, becoming the first competitor to qualify for the finale.

## Wipeout Zone

Thomas was the third competitor to attempt the Wipeout Zone this episode. In order to win the episode, he had to beat 'Handsome' Oliver's time of 1:48. Thomas quickly got through the Barrel Run and took a steady approach on The Wipeout Wall. On the Spinner, he waited 1.5 revolutions to attempt his dismount, but he failed, having to swim back to the beginning of the obstacle. He cleared the obstacle on his second attempt, only using 0.5 revolutions this time around, and barely staying on the finishing platform. He cleared the Rolling Beam and went into the Launch Pads with no hesitation to make up for lost time, clearing the obstacle. He finished the course with a final time of 2:37, giving him second place, not enough to win the episode.
