BOTB 5

The information in the article below contains spoilers for the BOTB (Battle of the Blocks) series. Please watch the episode(s) in question if you haven't seen them already.

BOTB 5 is the 5th episode of BOTB Season 1.

## BOTB 5A

Blocky decided to make the challenge not a quiz, but a challenge depending on activeness because he thought people hated the quiz challenges. The challenge was to "Jump" hurdles. TNT was the only one to jump 10 hurdles, which was the maximum. People got 5 points per hurdle.

## BOTB 5B1

Blocky said that he was going to add points to certain people. The table below shows how many hurdles people jumped:

## BOTB 5B2

Free points were added to armless, and legless contestants, and many people's scores went up by a lot. Some people were mad at this because having no arms nor legs doesn't have a problem with the owner, but Yin-Yang was the most mad of them.

The table below shows the score bonuses. (+10 for no arms, +20 for no legs, and +30 for both.)

(Also, +0.1 to Lantern because of the decimal and +40 for Lantern doing "Good", and 0.5 for the rest of the people who have decimals in their score. +25 points for people in the danger zone after these steps, +30 points for people in the green/safe zone, and the people in the top 5 before the spots were changed got 50 points.)

The steps are shown consecutively from the left to right:

## BOTB 5B3

It was unfair to some people because Lantern didn't do good on challenges. Also, having no arms or legs or both no arms nor legs isn't a disadvantage for the owner of the character, acting like if it were free points. But the most furious of them was Yin-Yang. Because Yin-Yang moved down so many places, he was furious. Emerald and Yin-Yang asked for free points so Blocky gave them the points for free. The table below shows the scoreboard for 5B3:
(+40 for "Good at challenges", +40 for bottom 3, and custom for free points.)

This caused some people to get angry, for example, Snow, TNT, and mostly Pumpkin and Glass, all which said that people UFE shouldn't get points for doing challenges bad. Also, Cyan and Wood didn't do all challenges almost perfect. The selfishness caused TNT to move to The Big Brains, and was in unstable position. Yin-Yang was in a fight against Pumpkin. Eventually, they truced on 5D, which caused a lot of Alliance One and The Big Brains to be part of both alliances, just like how Cyan did 3 episodes earlier. Yin-Yang and TNT joined the Big Brains, and Pumpkin and Emerald joined Alliance One. Later, Snow realized that the scores were close to each other, so the top 9 is AEAP (as even as possible.)

## BOTB 5C

On 5C, tokens were given out. It wasn't much, but Yin-Yang got a first token, TNT got an OOF token, Cyan got an enderman token, Pumpkin, Brick, and Titanium got lose tokens, Wood got a gratitude token, and the rest got "a stupid token", which in fact, Glass used it on Blocky and did this UNO reverse card thing with multiple characters.

## BOTB 5D

On 5D: Here were the confessionals:

1. Help me alliance! (Wood, 5B1/5B2)
2. I really don't wanna use my selfish token, I'm actually kind of nice...but this game isn't all about being nice. Well, one thing's for sure, I need to protect my friends ALAP. I think that alliance one might be trying to eliminate us! (Emerald, 5C)
3. Emerald said he would do anything to get me safe from being eliminated. I have a lot of hope in myself, I really hope I'm safe. (Pumpkin, 5C)
4. I'll have 2 number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda. Also, I'm UFE again which is cool. (Brick, 5B3)
5. \*hiding in a cave\* no, it's snowing...if the snow covers me, i will dissolve away and vanish from this world forever... (Snow, 5B3)
6. I got tied with the second highest score in 5A because I chose 9 hurdles. AND NOW THAT I DID GOOD ON THE CONTESTS, I GOT A LOWER SCORE JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR MORE SCORE. If I do good on a contest, but people are asking for more score and I am up for elimination. I'm swear I'm quitting. I'll be eliminated anyway cuz I was first place in BOTB 2. (Glass, 5B3)
7. I think I might try a yoyle token \*eats yoyle token\* (Lava, 5C)
8. Why is pumpkin saying I'm selfish even if it was unfair? (Yin-Yang, 5B3)
9. I don't want the show to be cancelled, but please do not give people free points that have nothing to do with the challenge. Either that or the removal of points and creation of immunity and losing (TNT, 5B3)

5D had the most confessionals ever out of any episode part, at 9.

## BOTB 5E

On 5E, the confessionals were shown.

1. I'm sad that one of my alliance members is going home, as Titanium used his first token... ;-; I need some more alliance members (Emerald, 5D)
2. I may be 4th place, but I am happy I'm not UFE! => Also, I really want a yoyle token. Idk why (TNT, 5D)

Because of the truce, The Big Brains and Alliance One were trying to save Pumpkin. In fact, Pumpkin got no votes. The Big Brains were originally planning to eliminate Brick, until Brick saw that and joined the Big Brains. Then the Big Brains were going to plan to eliminate Titanium, but Titanium used his first token, so the Big Brains were not happy. The thing that saved them is that it would be a double elimination (As said in 5B3)! The thing is that it eliminated Brick too, not just Titanium.

Lantern tried to steal the show on this episode on a comment that only he and Blocky saw since it was the bottom comment. He claimed that he had a "lucky token" that he was hiding for years, and Blocky said that Lantern was acting like he was trying to host the show. Lantern admitted it and said that Blocky can't be hosting since he is in the BRB, which is not true since BOTB is not part of the BFB world. It was until BOTB 7 when Lantern was eliminated/arrested for trying to steal the show.

## Trivia

* This episode was the peak of Pumpkin and Yin-Yang's conflict, but they truced on BOTB 5D.
* This was the first double elimination.
* Glass subtracted points from Emerald and Yin-Yang in BOTB 8 because they got free points in this episode.

Emerald didn't ask for free points. Blocky said that Emerald would originally be in second place, but due to some technical difficulties and such, it caused him to get a lower placing.
