Hey guys, to pass the time, we could try to finish these jigsaw puzzles on the floor.
 
Leafy

"Puzzling Mysteries" is the 7th episode of Battle for Dream Island, uploaded on Thursday, July 1, 2010. In this episode, another Squashy Grape is finally eliminated, and no one is up for elimination.

Plot[]

Before the intro[]

The episode starts with the competitors spinning basketballs on their fingers and/or feet. Pen starts with spinning one, and Eraser impresses everyone by spinning three. Golf Ball is shown that she can even spin seven, much to Snowball's jealousy. Eraser asks Needle how many she can spin, while calling her "Needy". The clip is played back and slowed down several times for comedic emphasis. This frustrates Needle, causing her to do the obligatory slap defense. The Announcer then announces that it is time for Cake at Stake.

Cake at Stake[]

Needle, Ice Cube, and Coiny were up for elimination. The Announcer mistakenly (or purposely) calls Needle "Needy" before she slapped him to the Cake at Stake area. A key-lime pie was used for the cake again. For the votes, there was a total of 18. Ice Cube got one vote. A long pause of silence occurs, which Coiny points out. The Announcer then points out that Coiny has never spoken once at his Cake at Stakes and that he was contributing to the silence. Coiny says that the Announcer should be glad that he was contributing instead of doing what he wanted to do. As the Announcer tries to speak, Coiny shushes him, telling him that they had to contribute to the silence. The Announcer then calls Needle "Needy" again and gets out of the way, causing Needle to slap Coiny instead, sending him to fly off into the horizon.

The Announcer then says that Coiny had gotten five votes while Needy had only gotten twelve (reduced to six with her Win Token). She slaps Announcer again. Even though Needle had her votes cut in half, she is still eliminated. The Announcer says that Needle has slapped exactly 13 times, afterwards showing an appropriate montage of Needle slapping multiple contestants, while noting that thirteen is an unlucky number. Before being flung into the TLC, Coiny asks Needle why she didn't like being called Needy, but Needle is flung to the TLC before she could explain.

The Announcer then realizes that the TLC wouldn't shut completely and Pencil points out that the carrying capacity was six. Even though there were six people inside, Spongy was much larger than the average contestant. So, the Announcer then declares that no one would be eliminated in the next episode and that the winners would get an eliminated contestant onto their team (being represented as a pile of blue fluff with the word "Winners" on it taking a yellow crystal from a pile of yellow crystals labeled "Losers").

Contest[]

Eraser asks what the contest is, which the Announcer responds to by telling everyone to go into a single-room building. When everyone is inside, the Announcer locks the door, deliberately trapping everyone in. Bubble asks if they will starve to death in there, only to leave the Announcer saying that they will find out after the break.

After a random commercial advertising Bubble Transformer comes up, everyone is freaking out. The Announcer states that there is a way out, but Pencil disagrees by calling him a liar. Leafy then explains that they could solve a jigsaw puzzle to pass the time, which Announcer says is the seventh contest and that no one could leave until they've completed their puzzle.

Each jigsaw puzzle had 9 pieces. All of the Squishy Cherries' pieces were upside-down, which no one had noticed yet. Snowball quickly completes the Squashy Grapes' puzzle and their team begins to leave. The Announcer halts them, causing another freak out. The Announcer tells them to choose one of the Cherries to be on their team. Everyone but Coiny and Ice Cube choose Firey. Coiny complains, stating that he hates Firey, while Firey becomes upset that he had to be on Coiny's team. Pencil and Match begin gossiping about what Eraser did in "Take the Plunge: Part 2", which also angers him.

Pencil then finally realizes that all the pieces were upside-down and the Announcer says that the Cherries couldn't leave until they have finished their puzzle.

Stinger[]

The episode ends with Pen finally connecting two of the puzzle pieces at night. Some cheer for him while the others jeer.

Deleted scene[]

Originally, the Announcer was going to allow each team to gain an eliminated contestant to join their team. Leafy and Snowball decide to re-recruit Spongy, asking each other if he would like it. The Announcer misinterprets this as choosing Woody, allowing him to bring him back. After that, the Squishy Cherries immediately pick Blocky to rejoin.

Trivia[]

  • As of Needle's elimination, she will be the 6th and last contestant to be eliminated while the series used the older arms and legs.
    • The streak of the Squishy Cherries members being eliminated (Spongy, Blocky, Woody, Pin) is broken.
  • This is the 2nd time a commercial was in an episode and a Squashy Grapes' member was eliminated, the first time being in Episode 2 of the same season.
  • This is the first episode that has no Cake at Stake theme.
  • This is the first appearance of Yellow Face and his commercial, if one does not count his debatable appearance in "Barriers and Pitfalls".
  • This is the first time the voter's names were shown.
  • Loser first appears as a yellow crystal block among a pile of them. However, he would not make any speaking role until 7 years later in Getting Teardrop to Talk.
  • This is the first time that a contestant used a Win Token on elimination.
  • There were 2 scenes that were ultimately cut from the episode, according to the storyboard. The first was about The TLC being changed to a smaller size to only 4 contestants by accident and how 2 contestants would rejoin, and how Spongy would rejoin by Leafy and Snowball, and which the Announcer heard wrong and thought of Woody, while the second was about Blocky rejoining by Pen and Eraser.
  • This is the first episode without voting. "Return of the Hang Glider" is the only other episode of the season without voting, due to it being the Season 1 finale.

Continuity references[]

  • Needle uses the Win Token that she won in "Barriers and Pitfalls".
  • The episode flashes back to the many episodes that had Needle slapping the other characters.
  • The TLC is unable to close due to the build up of eliminated players from previous episodes.
  • The Snowball chasing Golf Ball in circles animation from "Bridge Crossing" is randomly reused.
  • Pencil and Match chat about the time Eraser stepped on a nail in "Take the Plunge/Part 2".
  • A flashback of Pin's elimination is briefly shown when Match says that she was happy when she was eliminated.

Cultural references[]

  • At Cake at Stake, Coiny says "The sound of silence" with the same intonation as the song The Sounds of Silence.

Goofs[]

  • This episode has a minor audio lagging issue.
  • At Cake at Stake, when there was an awkward silence, Coiny has three arms.
  • Ice Cube's cake has the cream on top of it, but when it shows the remaining cake it has the cream, while there was only one cream.
  • At 6:12, when Pencil holds one of a piece of the jigsaw puzzle, it inclined to the right. However, when Pencil flipped it, it stayed the same.
  • At 4:28, Pen has no mouth.
  • The diagram showing the 1 vote for Ice Cube prematurely shows the full voting results, as 5 bronze colored votes (representing Coiny) as 12 silver colored votes (representing Needle) are also shown on screen.

Deaths[]

  1. Announcer popped Bubble when he fell from the sky.
  2. Yellow Face mentioned that his costumers popped with the Bubble Transformer before he could contact them and he doesn't sell personal bubble recovery centers.
  3. A dead stickman is shown in the Bubble Transformer ad.
