**Mean Comment Mania** is the 2nd episode of the Level Up series.

## Plot

### Start

We are given an advisory on the following scenes of extreme stunts it contains and the biggest reality television egos. All of this which are are performed by *animated objects,* as we're told **not to attempt what we see to do it at home.** What we can instead do is enjoy the episode. We are then given a recap of the previous episode.

### Recap

The narrator says that it was time to make a new file to create a new game. It then tells us that 12 contestants were having a *peaceful flight* when the host who was "controlling the plane" had told them to parachute themselves to the **ground.** They then had to land to be placed into ***2*** separate teams, the colors red and blue. The narrator then introduces the contestants one by one per team. The Red Team's descriptive contestants were:

* The Loud and Proud Performer
* The Poker Player
* The Fumbling Fiddler
* The Psychopath
* The Troublesome Trio
* The Jock

Blue Team's descriptive contestants were:

* The Madpiper
* The Plastic Princess
* The Candied Cutie
* The Beverage Holder
* The Fighter
* The Sassy Fashionista

The 2 teams of 6 were now set, as the battle began. The first contest was *hot and sandy,* as it was **too hot** for the Red Team. Examples of how Red Team showed off when angry were - Belly: "You *Silver Jerk!"* Silver Trophy: "Got any other **genius ideas dweeb?**" Luckily, Blue Team was able to ride the waves, as Gummy Bear was put on a **Sugar Rush** to make their team win and have victory. It meant that Red Team had to face their first loss. Belly was optimistic, telling her team to have better luck next time.

For Bagpipes, he had gotten the first Power Up of the game, as for him helping out the team *the most.* We then jump to what the current episode's contest would be: Having the mentality to look past the haters: Facing hate comments. Or will they fall in the piranha pit and become fish food. We then jump to the elimination, who is saved and who will **Game Over.** Additionally, we need to know if this will have a team of allies for power. Or just pure paranoia. We then are finished with the recap and preview for the episode. The intro then plays.

## Cold Open

We are outside of the team's cabins at 6 AM, and Switch teleports to have a megaphone and an air horn. He then closes the air horn to the megaphone, and **blasts it,** *causing the teams to wake up and scream.* We then are shown inside of the Blue Team's cabin, where Pridey, Gummy Bear and Mug are in their sleeping bags. It seems to the expression of Pridey's and Gummy Bear's face, that they must feel tired because of ***how late they slept,*** or they were just uncomfortable due to the rock-solid ground. GB yawns, and Pridey complains the game show being a "crappy summer camp".

Plate then says what they're gonna do, admire at Switch's "punchable" face for a whole hour. Pridey says *it's not* a horrible idea. We then go back outside, where Silver Trophy slightly laughs and claims that she was **awake and ready** the whole night. We then switch to a Diary Room session where Sliver Trophy says that she indeed was up all night, not worrying about the elimination as she *already knew that* she wasn't going to be game over. We then switch scenes and go to a cafe-like restaurant. Inside we see some of the contestants eating breakfast - corn, peas, white rice, brown beans and a juice box.

Dolly and Silver Trophy are just getting their food served while Card goes upstairs to a chill room with his team. In a room we see Bagpipes and Plate playing Pool. In the chill room balcony we see Belly, Card and Fiddle having a small discussion on how the 3 should work together, as the rest of the team *is seeming to be a bit unstable.* She then states that she trusts the 2 the most out of the others. Before Belly could say something and get too loud, Card silences her and says that is a great idea Fiddle had in mind. Belly then asks the alliance what they should call themselves.

Card says that the alliance name **isn't really nessecary,** Fiddle stating that she has no clue whatsoever. Belly suggests "The Jingle Bells", but Card says "The Three Aces". Belly agrees on Card's decision and Fiddle says **it's perfect.** We then go to a DR where Card says that him being in the alliance is perfect as he has 2 other trusted pals to work with. Belly says how her small group will *dominate the challenges with ease.*

Fiddle gossips to us about how Card is "shady". She says how Card must be kept on the good side, and to keep her enemies close, likely to avoid interference with any ongoing challenges. She then adds on how she's more likely to stay in the game in terms of relationships with others and forming small alliances. We then switch scenes to where Dolly complains to the chef about how she can't eat any dairy and greasy foods due to her **plastic body.** The chef is upset by this complaint, and backlashes at her stating that whatever is served *must be consumed.*

Silver Trophy then comes behind Dolly and knocks her down, as she tells the chef that **proteins are the only thing that she eats.** Switch then asks the contestants how the food is. Gunny states it's "delicious". Switch then introduces the chef. His name is "Chapeau". He then says that he's known to make **the finest prison food ever.** Gummy Bear then tells how it explains why it's awful, therefore not eating it. Gunny then asks what prison is Chapeau from.

## Elimination

We are then introduced to the elimination area. Each one of the contestant's stands are lit up, then the room itself is. Switch's face then shows up on the screen, and welcomes them to the "Game Over Zone". He then says that for this elimination to be planned, the order will be:

1. Reveal the votes from the fans
2. Do a contestant vote on who should be eliminated
3. Reveal the final vote count

First, Switch reveals the votes. It is shown the Gunny has gotten the most, at 184. However, Card and Silver Trophy will have to **battle** to earn their safety immunity. We are then taken to a special room where the 2 are put in a breakout, and whoever can solve the puzzle first is *granted the safe immunity.* We then see that Card has gotten the safe immunity. Eventually the contestant vote begins. Card starts off. He chooses Silver Trophy out. As each contestant goes, they cast their vote and then are returned to the main room, where Switch tells how this will work:

1. Reveal the top 2 voted
2. Show the difference of a score. (Like a tie, e.g. 2 to 3)
3. Announce who's game over.

Switch then displays that Fiddle and Silver Trophy have gotten the top 2 placements. It is then shown that Silver Trophy is officially *Game Over.* Switch then says welcome back to reality. She then is teleported. Switch then makes a pun out of her stating how good it was to know for her loss.

## Challenge

We are taken outside of a lake where Switch is standing, and the remaining 11 contestants are in a platform, with an individual buzzer that corresponds to their team color. Pridey compliments Dolly's purple dress, and Dolly compliments Pridey back about her bunny sticker. Plate then tells the two to shut up, calling them losers. Switch thanks Plate, and tells that the challenge is "Mean Comment Mania" . Bagpipes makes a sarcastic comment about how "*it's not related to mean comments."*

Switch then tells how **nobody's perfect.** He then tells about the horrible impressions of last challenge had made him gather up mean comments stated by the fans. Plate then goes on and rhetorically says that who cried the most would win, and Switch said it was not what it would be about. He then goes on to explain that a comment will be given, and a contestant must guess about this comment's appearance, and who it might correlate to. He then says that whoever answers it correctly will have the option to knock a point off of a person, and what happens if it reaches 0 (everyone has 3 points by default) will mean that the platform itself will disappear, as the knocked out contestant is fallen to the piranha pit. The Peas became scared when they noticed how venomous the piranhas looks.

Fiddle gulps hoping to not lose. Gunny states how she once had a pet piranha, but it kept bitting her. Gummy Bear complains if being thrown off a plane was enough, but Switch says that he decided to step it up. He said that some comments told that there wasn't enough pain, and thought of this now "good TV content". He claims how better Level Up is getting because of this. He then goes on with the challenge, stating that the team who has all of the members knocked out will be UFE, going to the Game Over Zone soon.

He then says that the last person standing will win a power-up. We then switch to a Diary Room where Bagpipes said that he'll not need another power-up due to his team doing very well. Gummy Bear says that she'll love to have 1 or 2 power-ups, considering she feels like she’s a big target on her team. Card says that he as a gambler will have to make the riskiest of decisions to win the power-up and be a "threat", but on the contrary he assumes that the power-up *needs to land in one of the 3 Aces' hands.* The challenge begins with the first comment - "Out of each of them, I can tell that their mom's least favorite is a 3 way tie!" The contestants think, while Belly guess Peas.

She is correct, and the Peas tell her it's not cool. She then chooses to knock out a point out of Dolly. The next comment is "He's probably on the show because, he makes the drinks sour!" Dolly guess plates, and is incorrect. That was Mug. She automatically loses another point for failure of correctly guessing.

Next comment is "They must've mistaken her for luggage because of how forgettable she is!" Plate guesses Fiddle, and is correct. He knocks out a point of Gunny. She then has a gasoline container, telling that she'll burn down Fiddle's cabin later. Next comment is "The only thing she's killing, is my involvement in this show!" Pridey guesses Gunny, and is "correctamando".

She knocks off a point of The Peas, and the say "rats". Next comment is "He already has a boyfriend, he's called the wind!" Bagpipes guesses Plate, and bingo is he correct. He knocks off a point of Gunny. She now has a match lit, and is guaranteed to burn down Red Team's cabin at some point. During a cut scene, Pridey complains about their "boyfriend" about how they broke up years back, stating how aggressive he is.

Pridey then accidentally falls after some wind comes into place. The next comment is "Her voice is higher than her string!" The Peas guess Belly (obviously) and is correct. The trio knock out Dolly's last point, and falls to the piranha pit. She is then bit constantly by the fishes as Pridey and Gummy Bear watch in shock.

She is then seen trying to escape the "deadly waters". Switch laughs for a bit, stating "how good" it is. Dolly is now out of the lake and is utterly disgusted by how her dress is ruined. The next comment is "My faith in you winning, is more broken than your arm could ever be!" Pridey tries to assume the Fiddle is named "Viola" but Switch accepts the nickname and guesses correctly.

They then say how they're going to target someone not yet selected, so it was Belly. She thought about something that made her happy, but then realizes what occurred. Next comment is "This competition is for WINNERS ONLY!" The Peas guess Silver Trophy and are correct. The 3 knock out a point of Bagpipes, and is offended by this.

He "challenges" the trio to a fight off. The Peas "accept". During a cut scene Pea 1 says how they have a huge advantage - Triple Brain set. Back to the challenge, next comment is "Pretty sure they're only there to fill a character slot!" Pridey guesses Mug and is incorrect. It was Dolly. Pridey has a point negated for failure to guess correctly. Next comment is "They have more fashion sense than actual strategy!"

Gunny guesses Dolly but is wrong. It was Pridey. Gunny has now lost all of her points and falls to the piranha pit. She then comes back up with a piranha bitting her head, claiming that it likes her. She then sinks back down. Next comment is "Sorry! Can't think of an insult dumb enough for him to understand!" Gummy Bear guesses Plate and is correct. She then knocks out a point of The Peas.

Pea 1 says it's on, calling GB a "Gummy loser". Next comment is "She shakes up the competition every time she walks!" Gummy Bear guesses **her own self,** and is correct. She then adds on how "unoriginal" the fat joke was to her. She then knocks out the Peas' point... again.

Now the 3 lost and go into the lake. Each one is eaten by a piranha, but then spit out moments later. Dolly who was standing there, saw when the 3 were spit out and claims how they don't like peas. Cut Scene time, Card is now predicting that he'll be able to win the power-up since he was not chosen yet to lose a point. If not Belly or Fiddle could if not fully out yet.

He then says the one of them will have to do "dirty work". Back to the challenge, next comment is "She looks like she came from a weirdo art site!" Card guesses Dolly but is wrong, as it was **everyone's favorite - Gummy Bear.** Switch then brings up how consecutive Gummy Bear is hated. She says that the haters will hate.

Next comment is "He's just mad because nobody can understand him when he talks!" Belly guesses Bagpipes and is correct. She knocks off a point of Gummy Bear, and says "Sugar Sticks". Next comment is "Consider turning down the sassiness and turning up the helpfulness!" Plate definitely guesses Pridey and is indeed *definitely correct.* He knocks off a point of Belly. Next comment is "Can't believe how much your parents must've hated you to name you after what toddlers call their stomach!"

Fiddle guesses Belly and starts to say how it's "considered disrespectful" to her family. Plate says that no one would care about it. Bagpipes tells him that he cares about it, and says he'd be interested to learn more about Belly's family. This made Belly fell better. Anyways, Switch asks Fiddle who's point to knock off, and chooses Plate. Cut Scene time, Fiddle says that she wants to win the power-up to show how worthy of a team member she is and to control on fate.

Next comment, "He literally will be carried through the competition!" Card chooses Mug and is correct. He knocks off a point of Plate. He says it's a "lousy move", calling him a dork. Next comment, "She's a candy reject because to be honest, she ate all the other ones!" Card chooses Gummy Bear and is correct. He then fully knocks out Plate's last point, and falls into the piranha lake.

He splashes into the water knocking out the piranhas trying to eat him. He then comes out with one bitten on him, and throws it out. It hits Fiddle which knocks her out of her platform. Eventually she had to be rescued, and a medical operation had to go underway. Due to what had happened to Fiddle, she has been placed out.

She was put in a wheelchair but then fell from it. Switch then says that it's half over, and now it's "Sudden Death" mode as everyone now has been reducted to 1 point. Cut Scene time, Belly says that it's all coming down to the wire as she's 1 point away from losing it all. She says that she'll now need to kick into high gear in order to survive **and possibly win.** She then says it's either go big or go home, like a sporting game.

Gummy Bear then says how brutal and mean all the hate comments are but according to her, she's got her cool, is calm and has her eyes on the prize. She then says that fat shaming won't affect her from being prevented to win. Pridey then says about her hate comments, only driving them *to do better.* They then say that they want to win the competition for the game and for their team. Pridey then says that they want to show all the boys how they too can be competitors like Pridey themselves.

Next comment is "He seems so strong for someone who can break easily after they fall from a sink!" Mug answers, but got it incorrect and falls to the piranha pit. A piranha leaps to swallow Mug. Next comment, "She's got more plastic surgeries than wins!" Card guesses Dolly and is correct. He chooses to knock out Bagpipes and falls to the piranha pit. Switch then tells him if he knows to swim.

We then see how Bagpipes is falling in slow motion as if it were to be an action film. We then get a cut scene of Bagpipes playing a song and then tells the camera is **he can't pay respect *to his own death.*** Next comment is "Oh my cornstarch! What's next? Oh my chocolate bars?" Card guesses Gummy Bear and is correct. He then knocks out Gummy Bear as she falls to the pit. Cut Scene time. Pridey says it's all down to themselves now.

They say that they really need to win. They then state that **if they don't win, they'll be going home.** Next comment, "Step aside Gunny, a size changing, plastic house is the deadliest weapon!" Card chooses Dolly before Pridey could, and Card knocks out Pridey. Pridey slowly falls to the pit, making the Blue Team UFE, going to the Game Over Zone soon. Even though Red Team won, one still has to be knocked out.

Before the final comment: We get a cut scene where Card tells how Blue Team is out and it's down to him and Belly. Him telling that Belly winning the power-up would be perfect because he would have the influence on what she'll do with it. Final comment: "Having hearts on your body sure makes you threatening!" Belly guesses on his own ally, Card and is out. Belly now won, and has obtained the power-up.

Belly is happy over her power-up that she dings. Switch congratulates the Red Team for winning the challenge. He then states that they'll receive a **special dinner** later on from Chapeau himself. Switch then "congratulates" The Blue Team's loss as their "reward" is a one-way ticket to the Game Over Zone. Cut Scene time, Gummy Bear is sad on how she was close on winning, that she ends up slightly crying.

She then complains that she listen to mean comments for nothing. She then states it hurts the most, as it can't prove the people wrong. Pridey fells like "colorful crap" after the contest. They say that they just gave their team the first loss. They say that they'll turn upside down the outcome of winning.

Plate says how he doesn't feel good losing. He says that he wants to give everyone who said mean stuff about him a knuckle sandwich, but says that there's a good chance he'll be voted off. He then mentions how Dolly and Pridey are close together in relationship, as he'll put the target to the 2.

## Stinger

It's night time, and Pridey is already sleeping in her team's cabin while her team is outside the piranha lake, having a discussion about something. Bagpipes then says what they'll be doing now, and Plate says that during the elimination that he'll vote off the weakest member - Dolly that is in particular. Bagpipes brings up how she wasn't very helpful during the challenge. He then brings up that Pridey costed them the challenge. Plate says that he doesn't care which of the 2 leaves, but cares more about Dolly's "princess privilege" and her "big dumb house" leaving would be considered **pretty dope.**

Bagpipes agrees on Plate's situation where he can't stand her. He then says that she has more clothes in game play, but says that if Pridey and Dolly's relationship gets stronger it'll be an issue. Plate says that the 2 dorks aren't loyal to him, as they're loyal to each other. Gummy Bear then asks Mug what he thinks and "replies" Cut Scene time, Bagpipes says that he's got a big decision to make since Pridey lost, as he'll have to work with them in the future, but is unsure since he says that the Pridey-Dolly duo needs to be split up. Dolly then says it's very bad, as she's very nervous.

She says that she's in danger and says that if she can't figure what to wear during the elimination she's doomed. The voting screen then appears. A robotic-like voice says to vote a member of the Blue Team safe. It then says that the 2 with the most votes will be safe **UNLESS** a power-up is used. The voting ended on October 26, 2022. A banner then appeared saying to use the voting poll link in the description.
