Insectophobe's Nightmare


 * For later episodes with the same title, see Insectophobe's Nightmare 2 and 3.

Insectophobe's Nightmare is the ninth episode of Battle for Dream Island. In this episode, Blocky rejoins, and the Squashy Grapes have split into two teams called "Squashy Grapes" and "Another Name". The title refers to the fear of insects, insectophobe, because they did a 6 legged-race, get it? 6 legs are the usual number of insect feet!

Before the Intro
Pencil is reading a book named "How to Be Dumb" and she thinks this book is good. She then hears construction noises. She go with Match to see what that sound is, and notice the Ice Cube Recovery Center on a spring on a tree (continued from last episode, during another one of Blocky's pranks). They see Ice Cube falling. Pencil says that Ice Cube is shrinking but Match disagree and say that she is falling. When Ice Cube comes out, she knocks Pencil and Match, making both of them fall off the cliff.

Cake at Stake
Coiny and Snowball talk about the contestant who will join the Squashy Grapes. Announcer then tells him that he's about to find out. During Cake at Stake, one of the the contestants will join the Grapes (which now seem to be freaking out). One contestant gets a WT, if they rejoin. Coiny says that it's not fair, and at the rejoin, there were 28 votes. Luckily, everyone got at least 1 vote. But, Woody got 1 vote. Announcer sends him to the TLC (now bigger). However, 3 contestants are tied for third place. Pin, a member of the tie, has 3 votes. Also, Spongy does. The final 3 remain. Flower says if he kicks her out, she will crush the announcer with her recently refurbished Announcer Crusher. And yes, she got also 3 votes; before she can trigger the announcer crusher, she gets flung away. The final 2 remain. ''"It's down to Needy..." *slap* "Don't call me Needy!" "...and Blocky, the Stabber, and the Stabable." *slap* "Don't call me stabable!"'' As a result, Blocky gets 8 votes, while Needle has 7 votes, and she does not rejoin. Blocky then joins the Squashy Grapes. As a reward for making it to the final 15, Announcer gives all of them a BFDI poster.

Revising the teams
Since the Squishy Cherries are half as big as the Grapes, the Speaker decides to have the Grapes break into two teams of five (which Coiny disagreed because he likes bigger teams), making Leafy and Rocky the team leaders for their respective team. On Leafy's team is Ice Cube, Teardrop, Snowball, and Blocky. On Rocky's team is Tennis Ball, Golf Ball, Coiny, and Firey. Leafy decides to name her team the "Squashy Grapes" once again, while Golf Ball accidentally names the team Another Name.

Contest
For the challenge, the teams had to compete in a six-legged race. Snowball yells at the team to tie themselves up, while the Cherries garner the lead (with Pen being dragged along on his back). Because the Grapes were taking too long to tie, Snowball then ties the team into one huge ball, with Snowball dragging them. Pen is knocked by the tree that Eraser avoided it. Bubble was so talkative it made her team fall to second place. Another Name takes the lead from the Cherries. They see the bridge, and due to Firey being afraid of heights, he screams, making the Cherries know and quickly run toward them. Team No-Name sees a finish button, but loses when Rocky pukes and the teams slips on his vomit. The Cherries win, leaving the Names in second. The Grapes lose the challenge by default.

Ending
At nighttime, Snowball is tired and exhausted. Snowball falls asleep while crossing the tight rope, and falls along with his team. Leafy says "When you fall in a bottomless pit, you die of starvation." And the Announcer says the votes are in for the 5 eliminated players/contestants.
