CBBFDI5: The Malfunction (Part 1)

The Malfunction (Part 1) is the 5th episode in CB Battle For Dream Island. It was released on Monday, October 12, 2020.

Before The Elimination
Golf Ball encourages Needle that she won't be eliminated. Spongy gets mad, thinking they forgot he had the least as well. Pen doesn't know for sure if Golf Ball thinks Needle's safe, as he shows her the spoilers. Golf Ball gasps in surprisement, then yells at Pen for showing them. Pencil shows up to tell him not to be rude to Golf Ball, then he apologizes.

Elimination Highlights
Announcer told everyone the record of 43 votes, but then realizing it said 43 before, but as a mistake. The results were in, and Needle was shocked to see her 10 vote record. Golf Ball tells her she (Golf Ball) sucks at predicting. Snowball was upset about what happened. Pencil was confused why she got hated, and Pen wasn't sure, but he know she did nothing wrong. Firey hopes he's right, while Coiny was glad his bud Firey wasn't voted off.

The Challenge?
Announcer then announces the next challenge...but then he felt tingly. Match wondered what was going on with him, and Blocky himself wasn't sure either. Announcer starts to static, trying to say "HELP MEEE!!" The static was done but when he was about to talk...his voice changed into a computer voice. He was very upset and told them his voice turned into The Mike voice from NaturalReaders. He then tells them that we lost a "human voice line category" then questions why he said that robotically. Eraser didn't seem to know and care. Pen wasn't ready for the thing to happen either.

Pencil walks up to Announcer, hugs him, and then asks if he's okay. He replies, but not sure if he is. With Flower's first line as htheh1, she wonders who caused it, and if she finds them, she'll crush them, but Match then interrupts her, thinking the plan is going too far. Flower goes back to CodeBlox's voice, telling her she's only finding the imposter. She then says bye to Flower unintentionally, with Flower herself doing the "weird" shrug.

Real Announced Challenge
Announcer announces a new challenge, to see if they can get the bad person who changed his voice. Bubble wasn't happy with Flower's plan first, as she sighed. Match and Pencil walk together, while Match wonders if they can get the bad guy. Pencil knows but not why, as it's for "Announcer's sake." Pencil then sighed, but then an explosion happens. They both look at the red leafy structure, and then looks back at them, smirking. They both scream, and ran to seek Bubble and Flower's help. Eraser hated the fact and called them "crybabies", and encouraged Pen to come with him somewhere else. He was fine with it.

Leafy walks up to Firey and asks him what's going on. He answered with him laying down, but Leafy told him he needs to do the challenge, which leads to him not knowing and apologizing. Golf Ball states that Firey's not doing so well, which made Tennis Ball slap her for the first time. Woody angrily "meh"s, then TB telling GB not to talk to Firey that way. Match appears from a long walk back to agree. Pencil asks what's going on. (same with Leafy but earlier) With a first ever mistake in lines, Match told her that [Tennis Ball] disrespected Firey instead of Golf Ball. Pencil then realized and understands.

Goofs
0:47 - Needle's vote count doesn't show.

2:38 - Match doesn't burn when holding the Firey.

Continuity References
Eraser calling Match and Pencil "crybabies" when they screamed for help is a reference to jacknjellify's BFDI1 where Eraser also complained about Woody screaming.

Announcer's new voice is from original BFDI.

Flower willing to crush the bad guy was from original BFDI where she wanted to crush the Announcer if she got eliminated. (Flower in my series won't crush Announcer.)

Evil Leafy here shows earlier than BFDIA Evil Leafy.
