Sugar Rush

**"Sugar Rush"** is the 7th episode of *Inanimate Insanity*, and the 7th overall episode of *Inanimate Insanity*, released on October 31, 2011.

In the special Halloween episode, Team Chickenleg had to vote off a contestant. The remaining contestants had to collect candy hidden around the island in the spirit of Halloween. Salt and Pepper didn't participate due to being on a diet, while Apple collected garbage instead of candy. Meanwhile, an unknown red MePhone made his way onto the set of Inanimate Insanity. Marshmallow managed to collect two hundred pieces of candy, winning the challenge. Every member of the losing team was up for elimination, Minus Bomb and OJ, MePhone4S then confronts MePhone4, leaving the episode on a cliff hanger.

## Plot

***"We signed a no spoiler contract!"***
The following information may contain spoilers. Please read at your own risk if you have yet to watch the content the following information originates from.

### Picnic with Pickle

The episode starts off with Pickle at a picnic with cucumber, which Marshmallow gave him last episode. Even though the cucumber was obviously non-sentient, Pickle thought of it as his own girlfriend.

He claimed to bring sandwiches, but soon realized he forgot them. Being so hungry as to hear his stomach growl, Pickle jumps at the cucumber and eats it. Marshmallow appears and yells at Pickle for eating her gift.

The two hear a noise from a nearby bush, but Marshmallow excuses it for nothing, and they both walk back to the set. Behind the bush, MePhone4S is hiding and flips on his sunglasses.

### Elimination Time!

MePhone4 asks the group if they're ready for the next challenge, but Pepper replies that it's too early, since it's 10:32 on Halloween night and they'd compete tomorrow, and Salt agrees. MePhone4, regardless, announces that Team Chickenleg was up for elimination. Once at the scene, Salt points out that the area looks different, but MePhone4 says that it was only for that episode.

He also announces that he has cookies for prizes, but he ate them, to Team Chickenleg's despair. But he then says that he has candy-corn, but he ate that too. Angering the team again, he reveals he was joking and has the candy corn but attempts to eat them until OJ slaps him. The elimination begins with Taco voting for Pickle. In return, Pickle votes for Taco. Salt and Pepper both votes for Taco. OJ, Bomb, and Balloon all vote for Taco as well. MePhone4 announces that Taco is eliminated.

### MePhone4S

The scene then switches to MePhone4S talking to Cheesy, explaining that he is a recommended character. But Cheesy responds that he can't go in without identification and tells him to go to a bench where Magnifying Glass, Teddy Bear, and TV were sitting. MePhone4S replies, "I'll be back", referring to *The Terminator*. He walks away but re-appears in a car and runs into Cheesy.

### New Alliance

OJ and Bomb were seen talking about how happy they were that Taco was eliminated. But OJ soon realized that their alliance was gone as well. He notices Pickle asks him to be in the alliance, which Pickle agrees to. Then OJ turns to Balloon and asks him as well, and he responds with "Oh, yeah!". The new alliance now consists of OJ, Bomb, Pickle, and Balloon.

### The Challenge

MePhone4 tells everyone that he was going to take them Trick-Or-Treating, but that there were no houses on the island, so he scattered candy all around and the teams had to collect the candy in Candy Bags. Whichever team had the most candy at the end wins. The challenge starts off with Pickle collecting candy with Taco not far behind. Bomb asks OJ if the two can work together, which OJ happily agrees too.

Apple notices a garbage can and calls it a "candy bin", to which she throws the candy she was already holding behind her to hit Paintbrush. She dumps the garbage inside her bag and runs up to MePhone4 expressing how much "candy" she got, but MePhone4 explains to her that its garbage. Apple denies the fact and eats a metal can to prove it. OJ points out to Bomb that he found a candy tree, to which Salt explains how she hates candy because she is on a diet, and Pepper decides that she will go on a diet too. Baseball sees a cave and tells Paintbrush that there should be plenty of candy in there.

Paintbrush nervously tells Baseball that it is too dark in the cave, but Baseball flicks a flashlight switch and turns it on, giving off light to see inside the cave. But once inside, red eyes start to appear and the two run out, but in the process, Paintbrush trips and is dragged back inside by a large purple hand.

Baseball runs in fear but crashes into a candy tree and multiple pieces fall out. OJ and Bomb were seen again helping each other with a different candy tree. Balloon points out to Pickle that there is some candy at the bottom of The Crappy Cliff, and Pickle jumps off, attempting to retrieve the candy, but fails once again, just like in Episode 1. Balloon then jumps after him and sinks in as well. Just as MePhone4 announces the competition is over, Paintbrush, beaten and bitten, although with a large bag of candy, is dumped outside of the cave by the purple hand.

### Results

The time is up and it is time to measure the candy, but MePhone4 points out that Pickle, Balloon and Paintbrush are missing. Back at the cave, the purple hand drops Paintbrush, who has many bites, outside the entrance along with a huge bag of candy. Team Epic dumps their candy and scores are as shown:

Nickel: 25

Baseball: 10

Apple: 0

Paintbrush: 200

Total: 235

Because of Paintbrush bringing back so much candy, Team Epic had a total of 235. MePhone4 also said that they would have had more if Apple didn't bring back garbage, to which Apple slapped him. Bomb and Balloon dump they're candy and the scores for Team Chickenleg are as shown:

Salt, Pepper, Pickle, Balloon: 0

OJ, Bomb: 20

Total: 40

Every team member of Team Chickenleg didn't bring any candy, except for OJ and Bomb, they won immunity, but the rest of the team are up for elimination.

In the end, Apple is shown eating more garbage and MePhone4 yells at her to go away, but MePhone? interrupts him and says "Perhaps it is you who should go away, MePhone4..."
