A Leg Up in the Race

"A Leg Up in the Race" is the 12th episode of Battle for Dream Island. In the beginning Leafy saw Bubble reading a book called "How to Be Dumb". Leafy wants to get a closer look so she walks over right behind Bubble and pops her. Leafy then sits down reading the book. Next the intro starts to play.

Cake at Stake
Another Name is up for elimination for the 2nd time in a row, and only one of their members is safe, and that safe person happens to be Firey with only 9 out of the 61 votes, which means Coiny and Tennis Ball leave the team with 22 and 30 votes respectively. It was up to the Squashy Grapes who should be on their team. Coiny wanted to stay very badly! Blocky said that Coiny's speech about wanting to stay was the worst speech he's ever heard. Tennis Ball gave the Squashy Grapes a point, and it was if Coiny stays on their team, he won't do them any good, and he'll just slap Firey all day long. Leafy said it was a good point, so they picked Tennis Ball, and Coiny was eliminated.

News
All the teams were broken up, and the contestants got a prize for making it to the Final 12, and it was BFDI DDSes, and it allowed them to play the most fun handheld games, and they are foldable, but they can play with those later because they have to get to the contest.

Contest
The contest is to climb a set of ladders. Here is the order of contestants that made it: 1st: Pen. 2nd: Snowball. 3rd: Blocky. 4th: Ice Cube. 5th: Leafy. 6th: Match. 7th: Pencil. 8th: Eraser. 9th: Firey. 10th: Bubble. 11th: Rocky. 12th(Last) Tennis Ball. Soon, Speaker said,"OK. So now that we're here, except for "that clumsy Tennis Ball", let's see the results".

Results
Leafy is wondering why the contestants are standing on gray squares. Speaker will get to that later, also, he gave everyone 30 bonus points. Even though BFDI doesn't have points, it does now, and no more win tokens. Eraser asked "What happens to the 2 Win Tokens I already have?". Speaker said that each win token you have will be traded for 15 points each. Also the contestants get points on how well they did in the contest, which means Pen get 30 points, Snowball gets 20 points, Blocky gets 15 points, Ice Cube gets 12 points, Leafy gets 10 points, Match gets 8 points, Pencil gets 6 points, Eraser gets 4 points, Firey gets 3 points, Bubble gets 2 points, Rocky gets 1 point, and Tennis Ball does not receive any points, and any elimination votes a contestant received means -1 point a vote, but Pencil did not have to worry because she never even received a vote, so that's -0 points for her, however, Bubble received 1 vote (-1), Ice Cube received 2 votes (-2), Leafy and Eraser both received 3 votes (-3), Match and Pen both received 4 votes (-4), Blocky received 10 votes (-10), Firey received 14 votes (-14), Rocky received 15 votes (-15), Snowball received 18 votes (-18), and Tennis Ball received 25 points (-25). So the voting will always be between the bottom third, and the 4 contestants in the bottom third are Snowball, Bubble, Rocky, and Tennis Ball.
