Synopsis[]

The challenge is simply to cross a bridge, which proves to be a great struggle.

Plot[]

Before the intro[]

The episode begins with Needle's cake having expanded to be larger than Earth and suddenly undergoing nuclear fusion, causing a massive windstorm on Earth. Teardrop, who is sitting on the lawn, is blown into a tree, and it breaks down. The tree lands above Pin, looking confused, who is standing on the side of a wall, indicating that the winds are very powerful. Leafy and Needle are standing against a large rock. After an argument between the two from her cake and then by calling her "Needy", Leafy then gets angered at Needle and slaps her, causing her to float away in the wind and head towards her cake, popping it. This causes the storm to cease. Pin then falls from the wall.

Cake at Stake[]

The Announcer says it's time for Cake at Stake for the Squishy Cherries. He mentions how there are eight members of the team now but only seven eventually. 14 votes are cast. The Announcer says that he was going to have an ice cream cake, but forgot the ice cream and has to use a chunk of ice again. Pencil overreacts and collapses, making Pin mention she was overreacting, but it turns out that Announcer is just kidding, and actually has an ice cream cake this time. He asks Pin if she wants to use one of her Win Tokens, but Pin denies this again, trying to explain, but being cut by the Announcer again, much to her anger. Bubble is safe with 0 votes again. As Announcer throws the ice cream cake, Needle falls and pops Bubble before she can get her cake. Match shows her disgust at Needle, but Pencil says she loves "needies." Needle slaps Pencil for this. Match protects herself by saying that she said Needle. Firey, Pen, and Pencil also get 0 votes. Unfortunately for Pencil, the piece of cake hits her back, and as for Firey, the Announcer forgets to give him his cake, and mistakenly throws it to a house with a fireplace, angering Firey and threaten to crush the Announcer. Announcer sees Needle and flings her back to her team after she again says "Aw, seriously?". The Announcer says that Match and Eraser got 1 vote a piece, but cuts himself off mid-sentence and corrects his sentence to omit the phrase "a piece". Match thanks him for this.

Pin and Woody remain. The Announcer says Woody's name, causing him to sigh in relief. However, it is revealed that he is eliminated with nine out of the fourteen votes, causing him to freak out. He apologizes, saying he didn't do anything to help the team. Announcer states that he will be sent to the TLC, which prompts Pen to ask him if it is an object since he has always referred to it as one. Announcer explains that the TLC stands for the Tiny Loser Chamber and thinks is an object. He flings Woody using the Sender Scoop Thrower, causing him to scream. After he's thrown, Flower and Blocky realize that the lid is closing, leading to Blocky complain about only having five minutes of sunlight every day, Flower then pushes Blocky over urging him to move over.

Snowball's face while experiencing a flashback.

For the challenge, the teams had to cross a bridge. The team that had more people that crossed the bridge wins, and the first person to cross the bridge gets a Win Token. The teams then begin, and Leafy tells Needle with her real name (very reluctantly) that the bridge doesn't look strong enough, and she can't see the bottom of the gorge, which sure enough, is many feet below the mountains. Eraser urges and pushes Bubble to go across the bridge. While Coiny and Snowball where talking, Snowball notices Golf Ball comments on how Snowball's brain is small, and immediately is attacked by Snowball. He throws Rocky at her but misses. Rocky ends up colliding with the bridge, causing it to collapse with Bubble on it. Pencil and Match follow Bubble as a part of their alliance. Pen then notices a second bridge.

Do do do do, do do do!

Leafy asks Ice Cube whether she wants revenge or not, and luckily for her, she does not. Leafy says that Ice Cube and Needle can go together. Snowball then hurls Golf Ball into Leafy, Ice Cube, and Needle, causing them to fall off the bridge. Tennis Ball then gets Snowball angered again and wants to throw him off the cliff. Snowball removes the poles of the bridge in order for this to happen. Eraser then asks if Pen sees the third bridge, but he doesn't see one around. With no bridge to cross, the teams had to now use the ropes to cross. Eraser doesn't feel like doing it, but Pen tells him he wants to win to get Dream Island, stating that if he did, he would name it with a big sign that reads "Pen Island" except with no spaces and all caps (reading "PENISLAND"). He then tells Eraser that they go ahead and try to win it. Coiny persuades Snowball not to throw him, but Snowball tells him not to worry as he is his friend. Coiny then questions if he'll throw Teardrop, to which Snowball says that he won't as long as she doesn't say he's bad, to which Coiny corrects him stating that Teardrop can't talk. While Pen is on the ropes, Eraser notice that the rope is actually a bunch of black bendy straws taped together. Because of Pen's weight, the rope collapses and he falls.

The Speaker notices that no one had crossed the bridge, and had to go on to a tiebreaker due to there being no way for the remaining 6 contestants to cross. The Squashy Grapes won the tiebreaker, sending the Cherries to Cake at Stake.

A face appears, mentioning that the last day to vote is on May 10th and that episode 6 would come out on June 1st, 2010.

Stinger[]

In the end, Match asks where Golf Ball is since she was sure she fell too. Pen states that golf balls sink, and Tennis Ball says that rocks sink as well.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode in which the following occurs:
    • The first appearance of the Tiny Loser Chamber.
    • The first episode where nobody insults Spongy.
    • The first episode in which no one gets a Win Token.
    • No new characters are introduced.
  • Squashy Grapes NEVER lost the necktie tiebreaker.
  • Innuendo: Pen says, "When I win, there will be a big sign in front saying 'Pen Island!' No spaces, all caps!" According to what he said, the sign will say "PENISLAND".
  • Out of the 16 contestants in the episode, 9 of them fall off the bridge. 8 fall because of Snowball, either indirectly or directly.
  • If Golf Ball and Rocky drowned, this would be the first episode to have a character besides Ice Cube, Bubble, or Firey die.
  • This is Woody's third time in a row in the bottom two.
  • When the screen shows Tennis Ball, Ice Cube, Eraser, Bubble and Rocky's icon, it actually spells out "TIEBREAKER" when the Announcer said they needed a tiebreaker, which is why there is an A and a K.
    • T - Tennis Ball
    • I - Ice Cube
    • E - Eraser
    • B - Bubble
    • R - Rocky
    • E - Eraser
    • R - Rocky
    • (No one's name started with an A or a K)
  • The storyboard for this episode was uploaded to YouTube on August 18th, 2018.
  • From this episode on, any contestant that gets eliminated will not rejoin in a future episode.
  • In "Seasonal Shift", CloudYAY time-travel to this episode using the Yoylite to collect Scissors, after they and the other failed debtors get scattered across different periods in the timeline.

Continuity references[]

  • The yeast cake that Needle made starts to go into effect as it has become a star and starts to cause windstorms on Earth.
  • The Announcer jokes with the contestants by saying he got a chunk of ice again.
  • Pin once again declines using her Win Token and attempts to explain why, but the Announcer cuts her off again.
  • The Announcer asks Needle what she's doing at Cake at Stake when she's on another team in the same manner that he said to Ice Cube previously.
  • The Announcer respects Match's wishes of not being referred to as "a piece".
  • Eraser eats his ice cream cake in the same way that he ate his key lime pie.
  • Woody sighs in relief too early when his name is called out in the bottom two, and then panics when he learns he's eliminated.
  • Snowball starts to have flashbacks about Golf Ball saying his brain is small back in "Take the Plunge/Part 2".
    • While this goes on, Coiny rants to Snowball about how the Announcer wouldn't try his dirt cake in "Sweet Tooth".
  • Bubble hums the same tune from "X Finds Out His Value".
  • Despite what Ice Cube said in "Sweet Tooth", she no longer wants revenge on Leafy.
    • It's possible that Ice Cube changed her mind.
  • Snowball once again rips his team's necktie.

Goofs[]

  • When Needle's Cake is undergoing nuclear fusion, electrons are seen orbiting the deuterium and helium atoms. In reality, this is not the case, as temperatures and pressures in a star are too high for electrons to orbit atomic nuclei.
  • Pencil is not at the Cake at Stake place after Needle slaps her.
  • Pin's mouth was backwards during the whole challenge.
  • When Pencil says "Bubble, gotcha!", Her voice cracks.
  • When Leafy says "I'll help you cross the bridge", she appears on screen without her mouth moving.
  • During the tiebreaker, Pencil, Match, Golf Ball, Leafy, Needle, and Rocky are seen, even though they fell down the gorge.
  • At 5:33, Golf Ball disappears when she was thrown in the gorge.
  • When Snowball takes the sticks of the second bridge the wooden planks seem to have vanish.

Deaths[]

  1. Bubble is popped by Needle when she falls from space.
  2. Golf Ball and Rocky drown off screen.
