The first slider into the MCG ice bath is …
NIC NAITANUI
Dressed as: Buffalo Soldier
Draped in Jamaican colours and channelling the classic film Cool Runnings, it was a very classy dismount from Nic Nat!
Best quote: “I just wanted to make sure I could kiss my lucky egg!”
SALLY PEARSON
Dressed as: Madonna
Olympic champion Sally Pearson let out a massive screech as the made her way down the slide! She looked awfully cold as she exited the bath.
Best quote (via Tim Watson): “No hurdles to clear today.”
Scores: Jason: 7, Kingy: 8, Joey: 9 — Total: 24/30.
