**"To Be or Not to Be**" is the seventh episode of *Recommended Rumble*, the first episode of the series not in the viewer voting style, and the 7th episode of the overall series. It was released on March 1st, 2020.

## Plot

### **Opening**

The episode opens with the normal intro of the previous episodes, which were viewer votings. A white screen appears with black text saying that Recommended Rumble was a real show and the old teams were back, as new teams were formed in the previous episode, Recommended Rumble 6.

### **Credit Card appears**

We next see the first appearance of our host, Credit Card. He says hello to the contestants and announces his name. Bunk Bed appears asking him if Recommended Rumble is an actual show. Credit Card tells Bunk Bed she's right. Then, he announces that The Winners, who were only a trio at that time, lost in the previous episode and that it was time for the elimination.

### **Elimination**

Fez, Winner, Sandwich, and Credit Card all appear on floating platforms that appear to be connected to each other. Credit Card announces that they got 7 votes and that he thinks it's a new record (which it's not since it's the same amount of votes they received in the previous episode). Two cookies appear next to Credit Card and he tells everyone that they'll get one if they're safe. He announces that the first contestant safe is Fez and his vote count shows next to him, which is 1 vote. Fez gets a cookie.

It is revealed that the bottom two is Winner and Sandwich. Credit Card says Winner gets the last cookie, which he does, and it is revealed he got 2 votes. Winner says this is what he expected. Credit Card says Sandwich is eliminated and the number 4 appears next to him, indicating that he got 4 votes.

Sandwich appears disappointed that he didn't get a chance to be developed as a character. A strange pipe-looking thing appears above him. Sandwich questions the existence of this pipe, but before he gets an answer, he gets sucked in by an unknown force, much to Winner's dismay.

### **Before the challenge**

Honeycomb appears looking strangely, prompting Watermelon to ask what she's doing. Honeycomb states that she'll make it far in the game if she doesn't make any negative relationships. She says that the best way to do that is simply to not talk to anyone. Watermelon points out that she just talked to him, which causes Honeycomb to "run". Watermelon says the conversation was weird.

### **The challenge**

Credit Card appears, announcing that the challenge is to exist. All the teams are shown with all their members, but Swappy's arm seems to be missing. However, Credit Card does not notice this and says that they all exist, prompting a new challenge. However, he ends up finally noticing, announcing it to all the contestants that Swappy's arm does not exist, making The Dislikers up for elimination, much to Ringy's dismay.

The voting screen then appears, ending the episode.

## Credits

* jacknjellify (the creator of a show called BFB) for all the characters' assets (and the art of the cookie).
* "Backgrounds and everything else" by the creator, turtlegunner95.

## Trivia

* Credit Card mentions that 7 votes is probably a new record of votes, but in reality, the show has gotten 7 votes in an episode before.
* The episode was meant to be longer than it originally was but the creator got lazy.

## Continuity references

* Honeycomb vaguely lacks personality, just as it seems in her only pose in the previous episodes.

## Goofs/Errors

* Swappy's arm being missing is actually a mistake. Credit Card was actually supposed to come up with a new challenge.
* Despite the rest of the episode being in its own style, the voting screen at the end of the episode has a style that's the creator's BFB style at the time.
