 	COLD OPEN 	What's the Word on the Street?: Champion
 	SCENE 	Abby and Elmo welcome the viewer as they play Hot Potato (using a real potato). As the games pass, Elmo continually loses, much to his frustration. He suspects it's the potato's fault and has them play the game using an especially large one, then a tiny one, losing both times. Elmo tries to have Abby move closer and pass faster, still losing. Elmo gets more and more frustrated and Abby, feeling uncomfortable, leaves for lunch.
 	SCENE cont'd 	Telly happens by and learns about Elmo's problem. He recalls when he wasn't good at hot potato, but by practicing, he has become a self-proclaimed "Hot Potato Expert." Elmo begs him to help his skills and Telly agrees. Elmo and Telly exercise and train in a Rocky-esque montage, complete with rock song ("Eye of the Potato").
 	SCENE cont'd 	Telly has taught Elmo everything he knows, so he's ready to play again. Elmo calls Abby back and they play another game of hot potato and Elmo wins! As they keep playing, Elmo continues to win and brag about his victories. His arrogance drives both Abby and Telly away ("You know what, Elmo? You may be good at this game, but you don't have the eye of the potato at all.").
 	SCENE cont'd 	Leela appears, delivering laundry to Gordon and Susan, and learns of Elmo's victories and the problem with his friends. Leela, a big fan of the game, plays Elmo in the game and Elmo wins. Leela points out that winning isn't always everything and that being a good sport is more important. Elmo realizes he never considered his friends' feelings during the game and sings about his mistakes ("Elmo Didn't Mean To"), hoping his friends will take him back.
 	SCENE cont'd 	Elmo finds Abby and Telly and apologizes for the way he acted, vowing to be a good sport from now on. They forgive him and they all play a round of hot potato. Elmo loses, but shakes it off and enjoys the game.
