Previous Episode: Roleplay the Wrong Character / Next Episode: One Platform Problem

Cold Open
Golf Ball tells Leafy to stop losing. She knows, but then remarks that she sucks due to Eraser becoming the new team leader. Firey tells her that they could be better, and that there's only one thing that caused a bad result. Pen. He listed all the challenges they lost in, then he slapped Snowball afterward, telling him that it isn't fair to find all three fakes at once. Golf Ball with Tennis Ball raged at him for winning the previous contest.

Elimination Highlights
25 votes. Tennis Ball was first safe. Due to Ice Cube leaving for her revenge in the later episodes, Golf Ball and Tennis Ball remain as the only armless people left.

Rejoin Highlights
31 votes. Spongy thought he'd come back, but he had the least at 5. Flower, Needle and Rocky all had 6, and Pin came back with 8. She was automatically transferred to Leafy's Team due to less members than the other.

Maze? With Keys?
Announcer usually announces the next challenge, but Firey and Match somehow interrupted him for the first time. He announced the maze challenge, calling it (obstacle course puzzle) by accident. All the contestants were all apart in grouping. (go to the bottom of the page to see the groups). Blocky and Pin awkwardly greet each other when paired. Blocky wanted to show Pin something on the dirt, and she was puzzled. (This will fully show what it is in BFDI10.) Tennis Ball asked Bubble why they were together, and Bubble doesn't know, and wants her alliance, while Tennis Ball wants Golf Ball. Golf Ball now was very aware. Woody was worried too. Golf Ball told him to hold on a bit longer and to avoid the eliminations. Firey asked Leafy how in all people, he got to be with her and Teardrop. Leafy then said, "What are the odds?" Teardrop then cross-armed, raising an eyebrow and smirking. Match and Pencil with Eraser and Pen were seen chatting to each other, but then they all split up in the maze. Pin told Blocky that they were in a maze, but it didn't surprise him. Pin was then mad at him, and asked why it didn't surprise him. She went on telling him that it was a maze, and a challenge, and they had to win it, but Blocky reminded Pin that if she acts like that, she'll be eliminated again. Pin was then losing it, then stopping and sighed. Match and Pencil were then seen in the maze. Match asked Pencil if they were escaping the maze, but Pencil replied, making somehow Tennis Ball run past her, making her confused and dodging him. Golf Ball then was seen with Woody. Golf Ball sighed, but looked to her left and saw the yellow key. She took it and told Woody that they then had to find a door. Then finding a door, unlocking it, quickly dashing through the door, and they were the first ones safe. They met Announcer who was already outside waiting, and told them they were safe. Firey was wondering where the key is, but Bubble snatched it from a nearby corner, answering the question that she has it. Leafy gasped, then stuttered, then finally remarked the group to get Bubble. All three of them pop Bubble, making the blue key fling out of reach and landed on the floor near Teardrop. Leafy was then being burnt by Firey but then acting fast by throwing Teardrop at her. Firey then apologized. Announcer was back in the scene with Golf Ball and Woody. They told them that only 4 groups can be safe, while the rest were UFE. Snowball appears with Coiny, telling him that he found the red key. Coiny was happy and told him to hear to a door. Snowball jiggered with the lock, unlocking the door and coming out of it. They were the second ones safe meeting Announcer. Snowball then asked how many groups there are, and Announcer said that there were seven. Match saw the currency on her phone screaming to Pencil, making her appear. The phone saw Coiny and Golf Ball's groups safe. Match and Pencil then both screamed in fear. Firey then told them he had the blue key, making Leafy start wanting to head to a door. Firey jiggered the lock, unlocking the next door, as they head outside to be the third group safe. Blocky then was with Pin shortly after, jiggering the lock, and unlocking the last door with their green key (unseen). Bubble, Tennis Ball, Match, Pencil, Eraser and Pen had been UFE.

Theory
Because of Pin rejoining,


 * All red contestants are back in play.
 * Both the original team members would be competing (however Pin was moved to Leafy's Team due to less people)
 * She would've been the 2nd eliminated. Now Needle appears to be 2nd.

Rejoin Trivia: Vote Period Ends
This is the first time a second eliminated contestant rejoins.


 * This is also the first time a team leader rejoins, except joins the other team.

ELIMINATION
25 votes have been cast.

Theory
Because of Ice Cube's elimination,


 * Tennis Ball and Golf Ball are the only armless contestants left.
 * The female count on this team dropped to 3. (then back at 4 because of Pin's rejoin)
 * The boy-girl pattern of Needle-Spongy-Flower has been broken.

This has been noted that the rest of the episodes, CodeBlox will voice act everyone.

This episode has so far the longest delay at 2 months. The second episode with a delay is only one day.

Trivia: Voting Period Ends
This is the third time a contestant from their previous elimination, they get into the opposite rank of votes. The first being Needle in The Malfunction (Part 1), and the second being both Bubble and Pen at the same time in Roleplay the Wrong Character.


 * Ice Cube had 1 vote on her previous elimination, but now she merely has 8.
