Race to Victory

Season 1, Episode 2

**Race to Victory** is the second episode of Generic Show and the 2nd episode of the overall series. It was released on December 23rd, 2019, two days
before Christmas that year. It is also exactly one day after the last episode was released.

## Plot

### **Opening**

The episode starts with Tree talking to Lollipop. Tree asks Lollipop if everything is okay, and Lollipop tells him that Lipstick forced Lollipop to make an alliance with her. She says that she’s trying to deal with the alliance with Lipstick, but she just can’t.

Tree then asks Lollipop if she wanted to vote out Lipstick the next time their team lost, and that he would vote Lipstick as well. Lollipop admits that she does want Lipstick voted out and thanks Tree, requesting the two form an alliance afterward. Tree agrees, ending the conversation.

After their conversation is over, Lipstick calls Lollipop. Lollipop apologizes to Tree for the interruption and tells him that she has to go and meet Lipstick.

When Lollipop finds Lipstick, Lipstick asks why Lollipop was talking to tree. Lollipop says that Lipstick should know Lollipop makes friends easily. She tells Lipstick that she should also know that having only one friend won’t get you very far, where making more will. Lipstick then gets upset and asks Lollipop if she’s not her BFF. She then states, before Lollipop can answer, that she really wants to stay as Lollipop’s BFF. Lollipop, when she finally has a chance to answer, answers in a clear lie that Lipstick is of course her BFF. Just as she is about to give an excuse on why she was talking to tree, Lollipop is cut off by Computery, who says that it’s time for the challenge.

### **The Challenge**

After Lollipop stops talking, Computery has room to explain the challenge. He tells the contestants that the challenge is a boat race and each team will build a boat that will be
raced across the Rapid River. He then points out that it’s a generic name, which fits with the concept of the show. He tells the contestants that the first team to get to the other side of the river will win and the team that loses will face elimination. After that, the challenge starts.

The Desert Comets are seen doing the challenge first. Cup is seen with her arms inside of a brown blob labelled “box of stuff”. Mirror then asks what Cup is doing, and Cup tells Mirror that he’s trying to see what he can find in his box of stuff. As he’s
talking, Cup finds some planks of wood and announces his findings for Mirror, who praises Cup for his doings and states that they have materials to build the boat.

We then see The Field Meteors with Phone standing next to a .png image of a boat. Balloon asks him where he got the boat, and Phone says that he took a picture of one and used the power of special effects to make it a real sailboat. Phone comments that this task was an easy one, and Balloon says that it’s really cool.

In the next scene, Computery shows up announcing that both teams finished building their boats and it’s time for the race (there’s a note on the bottom of the screen stating “Cup built the Comets’ boat offscreen”). The race starts after Computery says the word “go”.

The two boats are shown (on the white void, no water) racing. The Comets’ boat manages to get ahead of the Meteors’ boat. Phone says that special effects bypass water, and says he forgot the fact. The Meteors then scream as their boat falls into the white void. As they fall in the void across the Recommended Characters, Pizza asks why everyone is screaming. Lipstick tells him that he would scream as well if he was falling to his death, and then Pizza says that he was only trying to help.

When the boat crashes, Ball tells the Meteors that he thinks he’s stopped bouncing. A recommended character, TV (by turtlegunner95), is shown next to the site of the crash and tells the Meteors it’s because they landed in the void. He also tells them that Computery wanted them to know that they lost the challenge and The Desert Comets have just crossed the finish line. He states that Computery will teleport them back to the surface, which he does.

### **Deciding Who to Vote**

After they’re back at the surface, Computery tells the Meteors that they are up for elimination and they have three hours to decide who they will vote for. We see Lipstick
telling Lollipop that she really wants to vote for Pizza and that Pizza is so much of a jerk that she’d rather vote him over Orange. Lollipop hesitantly agrees, knowing that this is a lie.

Afterward, Lollipop talks to Tree and tells him to set their plan in motion. She asks if Tree managed to get anyone else to vote Lipstick with them. He says that he managed
to get Cloudy, Hearty, and Orange to vote with them and asks Lollipop if there’s anyone else they should persuade. Lollipop says they should get Pizza to vote with them, as Lipstick wants Pizza eliminated when he was only trying to help. Tree suggests Lollipop should go talk to him.

Lollipop follows Tree’s suggestion and asks Pizza if they want to vote out Lipstick. She explains that Lipstick is targeting Pizza for being a “jerk”. Pizza asks if Lipstick is really voting him out, and then excitedly says that he’s voting for her and Lollipop should count him in.

### **The Elimination**

Computery first decides to announce the contestants who didn't get any votes at all, which were Cloud, Balloon, Lollipop, Phone, Tree, and Ball. He then called the contestants with only 1 vote, which were Hearty and Orange. He says that the rest of the votes were cast for Pizza and Lipstick, and in a 6-2 vote, Lipstick ended up being eliminated.

Her last words were "What? Why, like, me? I wanted to, like, go far in this game!". Then, she asked where the contestants go when they are eliminated. Comptuery said it was simple, and told her that when contestants get eliminated, they fall into the white void Lipstick's team fell in when they lost. He adds that the eliminated contestants get booted by air, whatever that means.

As Lipstick falls, she calls the word "NO!" and falls through the Recommended Characters again, landing next to TV once again, who says he has to get out of there, seeming annoyed at the constant falling contestants.

Here is a chart of the elimination and who (could've) voted who:

### **What Will Happen Next?**

The next scene shows Computery discussing what could possibly happen next with the viewers, hyping up the third episode, Don't Eat My Apples. He closes Episode 2 and asks a bunch of questions that could be plots for Episode 3 or future episodes: "What will happen next time? Will Lollipop's alliance continue to thrive? What will the next challenge be? Who will be eliminated second? What recommended characters will you recommend for next episode? Find out next time on..."

Finally, instead of simply making Computery say Generic Show, Episode 2's logo is shown (the fact that it's Episode 2's logo is specified because the logo changes every episode).

## Trivia

* Magnifying Glass was the first character ever recommended for Generic Show, along with a character called Wheel who later competed in the debut; however, the recommender was not aware they could only recommend one character per episode. B204CRises ended up randomizing which character appeared, and the randomizer chose Magnifying Glass.
