## About

Depths Of The Diamond is the fourth episode of the first season of Objects At Gaming. It released on March 27th, 2021.

## Story

Spaghetti discovers the new team cabins after the contestants leave the High Score Shore, but is sad upon entering because he still misses Mustache and Shelfy said something about the team that he didn't really like. Speaking of Shelfy, he approaches him and talks to him about the possibility of seeing him again, which he gives enough motivation to make him feel better. Both of these boys however, are surprised by Cookie, who goes up to them and makes a really funny face, even causing Shelfy to fall down.

At the elimination, Blueprint wins the prize with 48 out of 178 votes. He wins a spotlight. He, along with Socky, Mustache, Sombrero, Lampy, Orangey, Cardy, and Medaly are the first safe with no votes. Watery is safe with one, likely from Lampy. Wrenchy survives the bottom two with four votes and Grapey is eliminated with six. She expected this outcome and apologized for her rude remarks in the past. Medaly still doesn't know what to say about the outcome. Meanwhile at the Contestant Crybaby Cage, Blender loses once again to a board game against Broccoli.

Red announces that he lost a diamond to save for his friend Cyan's birthday the following day and the next challenge is to find a backup in a nearby mineshaft. Socky is very excited and leads his team into the entrance. Lampy has another negative encounter by Watery. Pinata and Illuminati plan to have the team split into separate groups to find the diamond faster, but Dead Football goes by himself so he doesn't cause his team's downfall again. Pink Sunglasses, Cactus, Illuminati, and Spaghetti find a minecart and ride it, but Cactus sees the diamond and tries to alert the group, but can't due to his lack of voice and his only communication with his legs. They eventually crash and Pink Sunglasses joins Toilet Paper and Shelfy.

Medaly is upset about the elimination, as examined by Lampy and Cardy. Once again, Watery jumps in and annoys Lampy. Pinata, Snowflake, and Cookie start to worry about if DF is doing okay. Plant informs them about the situation with Wrenchy and discover a brand new path, which happens to be where DF is. Wrenchy attacks him once again however. After Wrenchy runs away, Cookie comforts Dead Football and promise to stick together for the rest of the game. Mustache, Sombrero, and Blueprint head to the minecart trail from earlier. Orangey and Socky make a brand new path, in which Socky finds a bowtie and decides to wear it permanently.

Toilet Paper, Shelfy, and a now joined Pink Sunglasses manage to find the diamond Cactus saw, but Wrenchy tries to stop them. He hurts Pink Sunglasses but isn't able to catch Toilet Paper in time. Team Birthday Party wins once again. Wrenchy has a plan that has yet to be revealed.

## References

### Continuity

* Spaghetti brings up when Shelfy was not happy with the Fix-Its near the end of the previous challenge.
* Cardy noticed that during the eliminations of Broccoli and Blender, there were no prize votes then.
* Grapey remembers what Snowflake and Pinata said about spending time happier and more positive, not being a grumpy grape, from Day One Of Fun.
* Dead Football is tortured the same way he was by Wrenchy, also in In The Heat Of Battle. Plum would later describe the incident in slightly greater detail and Cookie also said that Spaghetti told her about DF's backstory.
* Cardy brings up two things about Medaly. The first was about her now disbanded friend group with Grapey and Blender before they both were eliminated. He also brings up the time she delivered Watery to Lampy in Day One Of Fun.

### Cultural

* Entering the mineshaft, Socky told his team "Off to work we go". This is ALMOST an exact callback to a lyric in "Heigh Ho," a song from Walt Disney Animations' first ever feature film, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, released in 1937.
* After Cookie and Dead Football hug, Toilet Paper walks off excitedly doing the famous "pogchamp" expression.
