## Description

Someone has taken over the show!? OH NO! How will Paper Puppets Take 2 ever continue… but wait, where is Gold Ingot going? UGH! Problems like these keep happening all over again! Find out how our final 10 contestants will overcome this, and their most complex challenge YET!

## Plot

### After intro

The contestants are seeing Platinum pathetically crying, saying that Gold Ingot and his two wonderful cousins have left the show.

Basketball brings up that Platinum can host, and he immediately stops crying. Platinum then starts the challenge.

### Elimination

Post-It Note jumps off the cliff, leaving Bottle reduced to tears as a result at losing her friend, and Chainsaw smiles.
