Plot
Start Your Metaphorical Engines
The episode begins with Announcer stating the rules of the challenge. Flower objects to this, and decides to take a leisurely walk through the course instead. The course begins with a straight walkway. At 500 feet, the walkway has a steep 20° decline, which leads off a cliff, which Spongy falls right off of. Blocky and Coiny bounce off Spongy, which creates a small hole at a little over 900 feet.
Rough Terrain Ahead
At the halfway point, Spongy complains. At 3200 feet, the walkway turns into rough terrain. Blocky and Snowball race each other to the finish, leading to them having the quickest times, with 7:31 for Snowball and 7:33 for Blocky. The rest of the contestants finish, with the last ones being Woody and Flower, with 10:21 and 26:32 respectively.
Slow and Steady Doesn't Win the Race
The averages for the Yelling Beavers and Murderer Trout are 11:15 and 8:56, respectively. At the elimination, Snowball and Blocky both receive 0 votes for finishing the course in the shortest amount of time. Rocky gets one vote. Ice Cube, Match, and Tennis Ball all get four votes respectively. With seven votes, Flower is eliminated for the very first time. Flower complains about being the only one who admires the scenery, which Match counters with "You didn't try."
