**EPISODE CHANGE**

A GINGERBREAD HOUSE AND THE NEW WIPEOUT ICE ARENA ARE FEATURED ON ABC'S WINTER "WIPEOUT"

"Winter Wipeout: Hockey Pucks and Bieber Fever" - "Remember the 'Agony of Defeat' guy? It's like that for a whole hour!," says host John Henson. Contestants pay a visit to the Gingerbread House, guaranteed to hit them right on the sweet spot, which in turn earns them a one-way ticket to Big Ball-ville. Players will also face the Yule Log Jam, which was liked so much that a ring was put on it. Meanwhile, John Henson catches Bieber Fever which quickly goes to his head -- Henson then steps out of the warm and cozy booth he's accustomed to and makes his way down on to the cold and frozen course. Upon joining the contestants, he helps break the ice among them by flinging over-sized hockey pucks at their heads with amazing accuracy as they strive to make it past the obstacles in the Wipeout Ice Arena. Only three tough contestants will move on to the Winter Wipeout Zone, battling it out for $50,000. Hosted by John Anderson (ESPN's "SportsCenter"), John Henson (E! Entertainment's "Talk Soup") and co-hosted by Jill Wagner, "Wipeout" airs SATURDAY, JANUARY 14 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. (Rebroadcast. OAD 2/3/11)

Note: This episode replaces "A Sight for Sore Ice" which moves to Jan. 26 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET)

Each week, 24 energetic new contestants of all ages, shapes and sizes go head to head through four rounds of demanding but hilarious obstacle courses to win the title of "Wipeout Champion" and the $50,000 grand prize. In the end only one contestant will be victorious; everyone else will Wipeout!
