Match/Relationships



This page is about the relationships between and other characters.

Match is sometimes a good person to everyone. However, her selfishness makes some contestants see her as an enemy.

Note that interactions from long ago may no longer affect these relationships.

Blocky
In Take the Plunge, when picking teams, Pen and Eraser pick Blocky, their friend! Match is not happy about this. Blocky says "Well, we definitely don't want to pick Spongy," causing Spongy to be picked, to Match's immediate dismay. Later, after the boats are built, Blocky is holding Match, asking "These are our oars?" Match glares at Blocky. When they're rowing the boat, Blocky keeps Match underwater for thirty seconds. Match catches her breaths and tells blocky not to keep her underwater for thirty seconds. However, when Blocky gets shot into the air by the fish bite, Match looks scared. This could be due to the giant sea monster, though. In Return of the Hang Glider, at the sight of Tennis Ball, Snowball, Match, and Woody being abducted, Blocky is only able to say "...um." Later, when Match wants to know who got killed under the massive machine, Blocky tells her that it was Flower, and the two of them high-five.

Book
In Insectophobe's Nightmare 3, Pencil lets Book and Ice Cube into her alliance.

In Get in the Van, Pin tells Book and Ice Cube that Match is a real meanie. Later, in the Van, Book slaps Match because they passed a library, because of the rules, Match can slap her if they pass a matchstick factory.

In BFDIA 5b, Book and Match exchange a friendly greeting and then progress through several stages together, including ones where they must die for each other. Later, Waffle introduces Book to Tune. Match interrupts Waffle, and Book tells her to be nice.

In No More Snow!, Match and Pencil laugh at Book when she considers rescuing Golf Ball, Tennis Ball, and Rocky from Evil Leafy. Match tells Book to shush. Later, Book excitedly shouts Match's name upon her return. Book is shocked and then sad when Match puts out her fire using Ice Cube. In It's a Monster, Match invites Book and Ruby to break time. Book thinks Nickel might be right about the break time being too long, but Match tells her "No, Book, no." When Match's second break time starts, Book lets out a unique sigh that could mean second-hand embarrassment, frustration in her inability to speak up, or something else entirely.

In The Long-lost Yoyle City, Match slaps Book because they passed a matchstick factory. Shortly afterwards, Match tells Book not to worry.

In Welcome Back, Book talks with Pencil about bringing Match back from the TLC. Book is under the impression that Match and Pencil are best friends. Pencil tells Book that they don't need Match and that she is needy, which Book seems shocked by.

In Getting Teardrop to Talk during the formation of teams, Book rejects being on the new Free Smart, therefore making Match and Pencil freak out.

Bubble
In Take the Plunge: Part 1, Bubble decides to form an alliance that includes her, Match and Pencil. Match thinks that there is no harm in doing that. Boy, she has no idea what Season 4 will cause...

In Barriers and Pitfalls, Match wonders what is taking Pencil so long to come back with Blocky. Bubble says to be patient, because only 5 minutes had passed.

Status: Best Friends

In Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?, Match slaps Bubble, popping her. This was due to Bubble saying, "Hi guys!". Bubble then says popping herself is easy. She popped herself before she got to 3. Pencil decided to rip up her test, thinking she was dumb.

Status: Neutral

In Sweet Tooth, Bubble died again before she could count to 3. Match says,"Yeah she's really dumb, dumb for sure." Bubble then starts counting to 8. Match and Pencil think that Bubble isn't dumb after all. Match even buys a cake for Bubble with her 20 bucks. When Bubble is up first, Match wishes her good luck. But when Bubble gets a lower score than Coiny, Match tells Bubble not to worry, and that she just bakes at a sub-dirt level.

Status: Friends

In Power of Three, Match and Bubble find the raft. In Cycle of Life, when Pencil accuses Announcer of murdering Bubble, Match acts indifferent. At the contest, Match expresses elation over "only" having to carry Bubble. However, when it actually comes time to carry her, Match ends up holding on too hard and popping her. She carries Bubble more gently on the second try.

In A Leg Up in the Race, when Bubble reaches the top of the ladder, Match tells her she did a good job.

In Don't Lose Your Marbles, when Bubble makes it out of the Danger Zone, it pushes Match into the Danger Zone, which strikes fear into her eyes.

In Half a Loaf Is Better Than None, Bubble agrees with Match that nobody likes fruitcake.

In Reveal Novum, Bubble tells Ice Cube that she wonders what Match is doing at the moment.

In Return of the Hang Glider, Match says she wants Bubble to win Dream Island. When Match suggests that they find out who has Dream Island, Bubble agrees.

In Get Digging, Match gets the idea to blow bubbles to bring Bubble back to life.In Insectophobe's Nightmare 3, Match assures Ruby that the alliance can sustain all four of them. When Pencil recovers Bubble, Match comments that Pencil has no technique, and she replies that she was self-taught. Match asks Bubble if it's nice to be back. Match tells Bubble to watch out for the flying shards of glass but is too late. Bubble is popped. Match looks very sad when this happens. She walks over to Tennis Ball and demands that he build a recovery center, since Bubble, among others, is dead.

In Insectophobe's Nightmare 3, when Pencil bring back Bubble, Match is glad to see that Bubble is alive again.

In Zeeky Boogy Doog, when presented with the Hand-powered Recovery Center, the first person Match thinks to bring back is Bubble. Bubble immediately pops upon being recovered, so Match and Pencil have to recover her again. In Get in the Van, when Bubble gets called out by Firey Speaker for participating in the challenge, Match helps Bubble disguise herself as a tree. During the challenge, Bubble sees Puffball and Team No-Name flying ahead of them, and asks "what's that?" to which Match replies "It's, like, Puffball."

In It's a Monster, Bubble agrees with Match that the desert is boring. Match is the one to recover Bubble after the snowball fight.

Status: Friends

In Questions Answered, Bubble didn't get the first two questions. After she answers the 2nd question wrong, Match demoted her from Bember to Bemb.

In "Enter the Exit", Match seems to be on friendly terms on Bubble, but Bubble ignores her - due to what Match has done in "Questions Answered" - when Match greets her. Match also seems to be saddened after Bubble pops and resolves to look for someone who can recover her.

Shortly after Bubble is recovered, she ignores Match, making her sad. In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", Bubble confronts Match about her harsh and strict leadership, claiming that it hurt everyone, including herself.

In "Crybaby!", Match tried to get Eraser to cry, but he refused to.

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare", Eraser and Ice Cube caused the indirect (possible) death of Match by pushing her off a cliff, along with Pencil.

Match's and Eraser's eliminations are consecutive. Match was eliminated in "Half a Loaf Is Better Than None", while Eraser was eliminated in the next episode. This is probably a coincidence.

In "A Leg Up in the Race", Match was almost holding hands with Eraser when Rocky reached the top, though this may be a coincidence too.

In "Don't Lose Your Marbles", Match called Eraser "IMP" and Eraser didn't look happy about it. Also, Eraser got the same maroon ball as what Match turned in, but this is probably just a coincidence also.

After that, Pencil seemed disappointed when finding out that Match got at least a vote. In the challenge, Match and Pencil are still at the thought of Bubble being dumb, thinking she can't count to three. They are both amazed when Bubble counts to three. The three then work together to get some of Leafy's cakes for the challenge.

In Bridge Crossing, when Needle comes to the elimination area and destroys the ice cream cake that was supposed to be passed to Bubble, Match finds her gross, but Pencil goes against her by saying that she "loves Needies".

They later get angry when Ruby says that she has a confession to make to them. They later get worried for Bubble when she is about to get hit by a glass.

In Zeeky Boogy Doog, Match and Pencil, along with Ruby, their new alliance member, are seen at the beginning.
