## Plot

### Picking the teams

The episode starts with the word "So..." (the same one used in XFOHV) sliding across the screen. Teardrop and Blocky get to choose the teams because they were the last two contestants standing on the balance beam from the previous part. Teardrop chooses Tennis Ball to be on her team. When Tennis Ball thanks Teardrop for picking him as Woody rejected him from his alliance, Blocky suddenly chooses Woody. Teardrop wondered who should she choose, to which Tennis Ball replies that it was up to her. Teardrop then chooses Eraser, calling him the "noisy type", to which Eraser glares at Teardrop. When Flower hears this, she calls Eraser stupid for being too loud. Bubble told Flower to be nice. Flower tells Snowball to beat Bubble up, but Snowball refuses, so Flower calls him a wimp. Snowball then tells Coiny and Pen that Flower is starting to get on his nerves. Pen decides to beat up Bubble for Flower, whilst cornering and forcing her to sit on the Announcer. Flower cheers Pen on, as the Announcer calls for Blocky to choose another teammate, and ends up popping her with a kick.

When it is Blocky's turn to pick someone to be on her team, Woody requests Blocky to choose Coiny, which he does, so Coiny jumps out of his recovery center and onto his new team. Then, Teardrop starts thinking of another teammate to join. She chooses Pen (Tennis Ball seems to agree as well) as he excitedly runs towards Teardrop's team. Woody chooses Pencil to be on Blocky's team to complete Woody's alliance, to which Pencil is happy that she remembers their alliance. Announcer then suggests for them to pick a boy. When Pen chooses Needle, Snowball says that Pen and Needle are in love, which Pen answers he likes Pencil more. Needle and Pencil gasp, and Snowball furiously says, "Did you just say that?" but he states that it was an accident. Blocky then asks his team if he could choose Flower for her team, to which Pencil agrees, so he invites him over. Needle then angrily glares at Pen for the comment he made, but then Teardrop breaks off the argument (while pushing Pen off) and tells them to settle down as it was time to pick someone else. Needle requests Pin on her team since Pencil wasn't available to be chosen, to which Pen stands up and apologizes and asks if it was really a big deal. Pencil wants Bubble to be on her team, but Blocky disapproves. Pencil retorts what makes him the leader of the team. Despite the argument, she joins in anyway.

After that, Bubble says that Pencil made a good choice after choosing him, and Pin disagrees. The screen shows who was left, and Pen was wondering who would be the next person to be chosen, Teardrop said "There's always SB. He's smart." When it is Blocky's turn again, Blocky didn't know who to choose because he thought they were all pretty bad, and his only choices to pick from were Spongy (wouldn't choose for "obvious reasons"), Match (thinks she's cool to do anything), Ice Cube (she has issues), Leafy (she's too nice), Golf Ball (too bossy), Rocky (no arms), and Firey (too hot). After Blocky pointed out the remaining contestants' weak points, Announcer asks who he is choosing. Blocky chooses Golf Ball as she was the smartest out of all of the people left. Teardrop, along with Pen, and Snowball, choose Firey. The screen pans to the final 5, who aren't chosen in a team yet. When it was Blocky's turn to choose someone to be on her team, Flower and Golf Ball choose Rocky, their friend, much to Pencil's dismay. Rocky then shares a high-five with Pencil. Snowball then discusses with Pen how Ice Cube is vengeful at everyone, to which Pen does not like where "this is going". Snowball says Ice Cube could become more of an enemy if Blocky's team gets her and suggests that they pick her for their team, much to Pen's dismay, but Firey agrees with him, and Pin teases them about having a crush on each other. Firey then argues that they are only friends. Rocky barfs vomit in the shape of Leafy, and she joins in anyway. Pencil gets mad at him and asks "What was that for?". When Spongy and Match are left, Teardrop chooses Spongy over Match. Therefore, Match is the only choice for Blocky, and he starts going uneasy and barfs on her in disgust.

### Naming the teams

When it is time for them to name their teams, both teams start saying lots of team names, but when the Announcer sees that both teams are far from an agreement, he chooses the names for them. He says that Blocky's team will be called the Squishy Cherries (to which Flower protests), and Teardrop's team will be called the Squashy Grapes.

### Contest

The first contest is to build a boat, get in it, and row it across the Goiky Canal and the first team to make it across the Goiky Canal wins, and the losing team gets one of their members kicked out. The Squashy Grapes start chatting. Firey tells all him teammates that he plans to build a motorboat. The Squashy Grapes continue chatting, to which he asks if anyone is listening to him. Needle retorts how confusing the plan is, but Firey doesn't care about what she says. Needle threatens him that she would push him off the cliff. Firey doesn't believe it and proceeds to mock that Needle's brain wouldn't allow such insanity. Enraged, she charges directly at him, causing him to fly off from the cliff and fall into the water below. Everyone, except for Ice Cube, who just walks away, and Spongy, who instead gets knocked into the air, run away in fear. Then Spongy falls onto Needle and gets knocked off the cliff. Bubble tries to bang a hammer on a nail on the boat, but the nail falls, and she instead slams the hammer onto her other hand. Blocky tells her to be more careful, and Golf Ball steps on the nail that dropped. Golf Ball shoots up in pain and falls back first on a bed of nails.

15 minutes later, the Squishy Cherries finish their boat, and Coiny says that it looks boxy but says it's okay. The Squashy Grapes start to build their boat except for Ice Cube, who refuses to help and is instead, waiting for it to be finished. Meanwhile, the Squishy Cherries decide Pencil, Match, and Woody to be their oars. Rocky doesn't seem excited about that, but Match is. Coiny then tells the rest of the team to get in the boat. Back to the Squashy Grapes, Teardrop puts a motor on the boat. Teardrop and Tennis Ball get on first while the rest of the team starts chattering away. Pin warns Ice Cube that the boat starts drifting away, and the Squashy Grapes rush to get in. Pin managed to get in, but Pen and Eraser instead fall into the water. Ice Cube refuses to jump. Snowball instead swims over. Teardrop says that she feels bad, but Pin doesn't care and starts the motor. Snowball is right behind the motor at that moment, and he has propelled away from the boat.

Meanwhile, back to the Squishy Cherries, Rocky uses Match as an oar. After Match gasps for air, she tells Rocky not to leave her underwater for more than 30 seconds. Just then, a hole opens up in the boat, sending water into the boat. Bubble yells "LEAK!!" and Coiny blocks the hole with his edge corner. Just then, a fish comes along and bites Coiny's rear causing him to shoot up in the air in pain, and he apparently gets eaten by a giant Fish Monster. Pencil appears out of the water in the hole that the leak is in, and Bubble says for her to stay there, as they need a plug.

Soon, Teardrop, Tennis Ball, and Pin's boat arrives, and they scream because their boats are about to crash, but instead, The Grapes' boat uses the Cherries' as a ramp and starts to fly in the air. The Cherries' boat starts to break. Meanwhile, Teardrop, Tennis Ball, and Pin and their boat fly over a bunch of random things. Tennis Ball gets scared, and they fly past the finish line. They fly through several trees. Eventually, one catches them and sends them into a different pool of water, to Pin's disappointment. Meanwhile, the Squishy Cherries panic as their boat is breaking. Blocky says there is too much weight on the boat, and they have to throw someone overboard. They make a good choice and throw Leafy overboard. An out-of-breath Woody swims under the boat to the other side and says they could swim to the finish line because it is 20 or so yards away. Rocky says that he can't swim. Just then, the boat breaks completely and separates, leaving some contestants on the Cherries on each of the platforms. A few of them jumped off or were in the water already.

Pencil tells Match to swim with them, but Match says she doesn't have any energy left. Then Match hears some chattering and sees the Squashy Grapes except for Teardrop, Tennis Ball, Pin, and Ice Cube floating on Spongy.

Back to the Grapes, Teardrop, Tennis Ball, and Pin swim back to land and spot the Cherries swimming toward the finish line where the Announcer is standing. Blocky starts floating towards Bubble. Bubble tells Blocky to slow down as he's about to pop her, but it was too late. He ended up popping Bubble. As Teardrop, Tennis Ball, and Pin run to the finish, a gust of wind comes and blows Teardrop away due to her lightweight. Flower makes it to land, with Golf Ball floating towards the coast. Tennis Ball slides across the grass to get to the finish, leaving a trail of slippery water, which Pin slips onto it. Flower and Golf Ball run towards the finishing line, with Blocky and Woody behind. Tennis Ball slides into the finish line, but the finish line ribbon stretches against him, and Pencil knocks him away by using her eraser before he rips it. Blocky reaches the surface and runs towards the finish line to rip the ribbon and cause it to break apart.

That makes the Squishy Cherries win and puts the members of the Squashy Grapes up for elimination. Voting is revealed to end on January 10th, and the 2nd episode is announced for February 1st, 2010.
