Plot

Cold open

Gelatin inspects Fries' fries, stating that some of them seem to be "swollen". Fries gets mad, believing that "swollen" is Gelatin's new slang word for "overweight". Gelatin denies this, but Match walks by, stating that Bubble has been looking swollen lately. Gelatin then says that two of Fries' fries looked "yellowed", "bulbous", and seem to be "wiggling". Fries is now visibly angry, and tells Gelatin to "eat someone else's innards". Gelatin then slides over to Barf Bag, implying that Gelatin wants to eat the barf that is in her, who greets Gelatin while doing the intro pose Four would normally do.

Before Cake at Stake

Donut and Cake look at Clock, who's being used as a Cake at Stake alarm clock. He ticks, and then he tocks. When Clock's alarm goes off, Donut says that Cake at Stake is beginning.

Cake at Stake (on the Moon)

On the Moon, which A Better Name Than That and are still stranded on it, watch Donut broadcasting himself through TV. Donut, calling himself a "bagel brain", announces that he will host the Cake at Stake through there, which makes Lollipop from laugh since "bagel brain" was the nickname she gave him. Donut's arms pass through the TV screen as he forcefully grabs her lips and shuts her mouth to make her stop. Tennis Ball asks Donut how he's doing this despite him being on Earth. Donut attributes this ability to his new camera, which can also transmit matter along with light. Basketball, acknowledging this, then tells him to get both teams back on Earth, but he can't, for the transmission only goes one way. Lollipop uses that to her advantage and bites Donut's hands. Donut's hands swell up and when Donut tries pulling his hands out, they are stuck in the camera and therefore stuck on the moon.

Donut exclaims that he cannot hold this position and then finds out a way to unite the Earth with the moon. Donut clips some grass in between his legs and then starts to warp Earth through his camera. This is successful, as after this is done, the Earth's surface is now right above the Moon. TV comes back to everyone else from space. The camera is floating around the earth. The objects then jump back onto Earth, and with A Better Name Than That back, Cake at Stake can continue.

Cake at Stake (on Earth)

Donut begins Cake at Stake near the Lavatories. The whole ABNTT launch themselves into Donut's hole, making it harder for him to speak. 22,238 votes were cast, and the cake for the Cake at Stake is the Firey Speaker Box, chopped up into seven pieces. Firey is shocked, and Donut says it's just "tit for tat", which is a reference to Donut's chopped corpse being used in "Get in the Van".

Tennis Ball, Blocky, TV, Grassy, and Basketball are all safe, getting Firey Speaker Box pieces. While Robot Flower broke the signal due to an "explosive" that would later kill Remote, she was safe anyways. It narrowed down to Golf Ball and 8-Ball. Donut announces that Golf Ball is safe and 8-Ball is out.

8-Ball is launched between the Earth and the Moon, and Donut teases him for being eliminated in the eighth episode. 8-Ball denies having a favorite number, but Donut interrupts and eliminates him by turning gravity back on. 8-Ball is crushed between the Earth and the Moon and Saw accidentally inhales the fumes from 8-Ball being crushed.

The contest

The contest is a quiz show, and getting one question right would result in the team that answered correctly, safe. As Donut is about to announce the first question, Bubble has a flashback to "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?" in BFDI, where she remembers Pencil saying that she is so dumb she can't even count to three. However, before she can answer question one, Pen buzzes in the correct answer, making his team, Death P.A.C.T. safe.

As a result, Bubble is belittled by Match and Snowball. After Donut announces question two, Bubble gets nervous, as both Match and Snowball give her the evil eye. When Bubble buzzes her answer, it is wrong, making Match demote Bubble from a "bember" to a "bemb". This made Bubble scream "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" in dismay.

Meanwhile, at Free Food, Stapy, instead of answering the question, is building something resembling a buzzer made with a popper, cardboard box, and tape that was removed from Puffball. Cloudy buzzes in his answer, and gets it correct, making Beep safe and Fries upset. Meanwhile, Barf Bag continues to struggle, despite Donut giving her easy questions, attempting to ensure his team safety. She blames it on her reflexes, but Lollipop states that it's her "barf molecules".

Question three is the result of snow and gasoline being mixed. Barf Bag still can't figure out the answer, and Saw attempts to buzz in "glue", the correct answer, but accidentally says "eight" instead. Book comforts her, saying that everyone makes mistakes occasionally.

Barf Bag is still struggling. Meanwhile, Cake knows the answer but is scared to buzz his answer in fear due to Loser's elimination and Loser not being there to support him. That's when Pin gives a motivational speech, motivating Cake to buzz in his answer, getting it correct.

Donut tells Barf Bag he can't take her struggling anymore, so he asks her to recall what he sees when he looks at his teammates, which he said in a speech only his teammates heard. Saw says "eight", which is debatably correct, but wrong. Then Barf Bag gets the answers correct, giving Team Ice Cube! safety. Donut is overjoyed, but Stapy complains the question was biased.

Question five is 1 + 1, which even Saw herself can't answer due to her only saying "eight". Donut says that his duty as a host is to punish Saw for this, and plays an audio tape of Four's screech. However, it does not affect Saw. When Donut points the recorder towards himself, he gets screeched anyway. Golf Ball buzzes in her answer, which is correct.

The sixth question is to name the past tense of "eat". Saw buzzes in "eight" once again, due to 8-Ball's fumes, and Donut is about to call her out for being wrong. However, since the correct answer "ate" and response answer "eight" sound alike, Saw gets it correct.

Final two

The final two teams yet to get an answer a question correctly are iance and Free Food. The final question is to name Donut's favorite season and Stapy guesses winter. He is incorrect, and while Puffball pushes the fake buzzer to iance, he pretends to be dismayed.

Bubble knows the answer, but the fake buzzer doesn't work and gives Stapy time to buzz in the correct answer - summer. Donut announces that iance is up for elimination, but Match objects and shows Donut the footage via Camera of Stapy cheating, resulting in Free Food being disqualified and up for elimination instead.

Stinger

Fanny approaches Bubble, telling her that Match didn't know the answers either and calls Match a hypocrite. Bubble thanks her for the information, and Fanny says that she hates Match.

Trivia

• This is the second BFB episode not written by Michael Huang. The first was "Four Goes Too Far".
• Barf Bag triggers the intro for this episode, making her the first female to do so.
  • She is the fifth contestant to do that as well. The first four are Snowball, Spongy, Grassy, and Bomby.
  • She is also the third Team Ice Cube! contestant to do it.
• This is the last time the contestants are shown sitting based on the alphabetical order of their bracketed letters for Cake at Stake. Afterwards the contestants simply pick where they want to be.
  • Although this isn't the first time this has happened as most of Team Ice Cube! was climbing Bell's string during their Cake at Stake.
• This marks the first time A Better Name Than That lost a member.
• 8-Ball was the third male contestant eliminated in a row, along with Loser and Roboty.
• 8-Ball's elimination is coincidental, considering that the number 8 is on him and that he was eliminated in BFB 8. This would be the second coincidental elimination in a row.
• The least and most voted contestants, Tennis Ball and 8-Ball, are both voiced by Cary Huang. They are also balls.
• Death P.A.C.T. is the first team to ever get 3 wins and get 2 wins in a row.

• This is Barf Bag and Lollipop's first fight since "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset".
• This is the second time voting icons have been revealed of contestants who weren't up for elimination in the episode. The first time was in "Getting Teardrop to Talk" with Book and Ice Cube's icons.

• This is the first time in BFB that the votes have gone down.
• Although some of the contestants are still dead and most of them haven't changed (like in BFB 7), Needle somehow managed to detach herself from Naily.
• When Saw answered question 4 with "Eight", Donut said "Debatably correct, but no". Cary explained in a Humany video that this is because at the time there were 8 members of Team Ice Cube! (including himself) that Donut can see.
• This is the first even-numbered episode of Battle for BFDI without recommended characters.
• Around 3:20, the Liar Ball made a cameo on TV during the Cake at Stake.
• It is revealed in this episode that Match is flexible.
  • This doesn't make any sense because she's made out of wood.
  • She is possibly made of Pinewood, a type of wood that is flexible.
• Match pushing the voting screen and jumping out may be a reference to "Thanks for 4 years!" because in that video, Pen does something similar.
  • Coincidentally, in "Thanks for 4 years of Thanks for 4 years!", Match mentions Pen.
• Despite Donut's favorite season being summer, he was eliminated back in "Get Digging", which happened in summer 2012.

• Donut's snap is the same sound from Ballers.
  • Another sound is when Saw inhales the fumes, which is the "snatch" sound from "Take the Plunge/Part 1."
• 8-Ball is the first ball to be eliminated from BFB.
• Cloudy saying "Gluck Gluck Hork Pork" is a reference to one of the Cake at Stake songs (hork hork hork glorp glorp...).
• In the .fla files when Match shows Donut the footage at the end of the episode, there is an extended version of Donut watching the footage.
• This is the first BFB episode to be released on Saturday in the Pacific Time Zone.
• While Donut was displaying the 8th challenge, Bozo's asset could be seen when A Better Name Than That's buzzer appears.
• Lollipop has Spongy's BFDI asset when Donut jams her lips closed.
• This was the first episode in which an eliminated contestant, in this case being 8-Ball, was confirmed to be killed during his elimination.
• Fanny stares angrily at Match in almost every background shot she's in.
• Dissecting Fries' asset in Adobe Animate CC will reveal the swollen fry to be a heart-shaped message reading "This is not X".

• This is the first episode to have a character have a flashback from BFDI.

Continuity references

• Donut using Firey Speaker Box as cake references what Firey Speaker Box did to Donut back in "Get in the Van", as he explains that it's just "tit-for-tat".
• Clock being able to tell when Cake at Stake starts may be a reference to "Get in the Van", where Clock had "CAS" as one of the hours of the day.
• When Free Food was up for elimination, Eraser poses the same way as in "Paper Towel".
• In the beginning, Gelatin was trying to eat Fries's fries and then analyzed them just like in "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3" and "Welcome Back".
• Changes to characters from past episodes are still present.
  • Bomby is still half-exploded from "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset".
  • Cloudy is still taped from "Fortunate Ben".
  • Saw is still missing her handle from "Getting Teardrop to Talk".
  • The members of Beep (except Balloony) are still orange from "Four Goes Too Far".
  • Woody is still dented from "The Liar Ball You Don't Want".
  • Tree and a fortune cookie are still in Bottle from "Fortunate Ben" and "The Liar Ball You Don't Want".
  • Remote, Balloony, Bell, Naily, Taco, and Foldy are still dead from the past episode.
• The answer "glue" for question three is a callback to BFDIA 5, where snow mixed into the FreeSmart Super Van's gasoline.
• Donut saying that they don't have to sit so far away during Cake at Stake is a reference to the previous episode.
• A flashback of "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?" is shown when Bubble remembers what Pencil said about her being dumb.
• A flashback was shown of Donut's speech from "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset".
• A popper from "The Liar Ball You Don't Want" was used to make the fake button for the fake buzzer Free Food built.
• When Match demoted Bubble to "Bemb" status in slow motion, it was a call back to "Getting Teardrop to Talk" when Pencil said "Bember" to Bubble in slow motion.
• When Bubble was demoted to "Bemb" status, Bubble started yelling, "Noooo!!!" in a familiar "posture". while the screens pan out to the remaining iance members. This is a reference to "Power of Three" when Snowball paired up with Golf Ball and Rocky, he started yelling "Noooo!!!" in a similar posture like Bubble while the screen pans out to reveal a few objects surrounding him.
• When TV was inside Donut, his screen was the recording of Loser still in the jawbreaker in space.
• When Match burst out of the voting screen and refused to be up for elimination, Donut said that she just had to deal with it. This is a reference to "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know!" when Pencil told Donut that he just had to deal with his team being smaller.
• When Tennis Ball says, "Don't I get a prize for being safe?", it may be a reference to an episode of BFDI where he says "Don't I get a cake for being safe?".

Cultural references

• When Grassy enters Donut's mouth, the old death sound from Roblox is heard.
  • Similarly, when the rest of A Better Name Than That enters Donut's mouth, the hurt sound from Minecraft Beta is heard.

Goofs

• At 4:55, Woody has no arms.
  • Pie can also be seen with no limbs, and Basketball has no legs.
    • The former could be because Pie was sitting and facing the pedestal.
• During Cake at Stake on the moon, Robot Flower's front position is used whenever the back of the A Better Name Than That members are shown.
• When Lollipop appeared on screen to ridicule Donut for referring to himself as "Bagel Brain," a couple of frames showed the stars from the background in the foreground over her eyes
  • This could possibly be intentional though, as this could just be a glistening effect.
• When Lollipop realizes that the camera screen is only a one-way passage, Basketball is in the background. However, when Lollipop bites Donut's hands, Basketball and TV vanish.
• During the beginning of the challenge, Flower looks a bit smaller than usual.
  • This is also the case for Lollipop.
• At the beginning of the challenge, Firey is not burning.
• From 5:48 to 5:56, Bubble has no legs.
• When Donut is saying the question is supposed to be easy, Barf Bag was talking without moving her lips.
• At 6:35-6:48, Puffball's face is larger than normal.
• When Saw exclaims that the question is easy at 7:11, her teeth are not colored in for a single frame.
• At 9:28, a small section of the right side of the screen is cut off.
• At 9:41-9:50, Bubble's mouth is gray.
• At 10:02, Match is bigger than usual.
• You can hear a thump at the end of one of Match's schedules.
• When Match says "See what Match wants, Match is gonna get!", Eraser's front asset is used for his back asset. However, he must've looked somewhere else, other than facing Match.

Deaths

• Firey Speaker Box is broken into 7 pieces as the cake during Cake at Stake.
• 8-Ball is crushed by the Earth and the Moon's gravitational pulls and his remains, in fumes, get inhaled by Saw.
