I'll try Gary's pillow!

Day, because I don't LIVE in a city where there are things open 24/7.

I'm surprised that there isn't a topic for these two characters yet. They originally appeared in "Kamp Koral", but since they have now made at least two appearances in "Spongebob Squarepants", I'm counting them as being characters from this show. Please use this topic to discuss anything you like about these characters, and any potential ideas you have for them, regarding future episode ideas.

"Plane To Danny Devito" ("Plane To Sea").

(Insert David Bowie's "Starman" song, here).

I'll pick Mr. Krabs' pillow!

Well, it took the eliminations of 38 contestants, but we are finally at the team merge! See what things are about to CHANGE! / Sniz is standing in front of two giant emblems, of the Green Monkeys, and the Red Jaguars! Sniz says: "Previously on Total Cartoon Legends, the two teams that really dominated this season, more than any other, have been the Green Monkeys and the Red Jaguars! Of course, it eventually got to the point; where the only teams left in the competition, were THOSE two teams! In the last challenge, it was another point accumulation challenge; as well as the LAST team challenge for this season! Whether by lack of necessary skills, or a stroke of bad luck; Wally and Future Rube found themselves with the least amount of points at the end of the last challenge! Buhdeuce won the Temple Run and shared the reward with Chameleon, while Wally and Future Rube ended up taking one last Double Elimination ride, in the Mine Cart of Shame. Now, we are down to just eight contestants! Spongebob and Bubble Bass representing Spongebob Squarepants! Dudley and Chameleon representing TUFF Puppy! Buhdeuce representing Breadwinners! Marlene representing The Penguins of Madagascar! Yakkity Yak representing...well, Yakkity Yak! And Po representing Kung Fu Panda: Legends Of Awesomeness! Eight contestants are entering the team merge, but only two of them will make it to the Final Challenge! Find out what happens when the contestants have to depend on their own skills, on today's episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "It's not just a change, it's an EVOLUTION!" / Instead of the normal show open, it shows a montage of how Spongebob, Marlene, Buhdeuce, Po, Dudley, Chameleon, Bubble Bass, and Yakkity Yak have all changed from when they first arrived as contestants, to who they have become now, all set to the tune of David Bowie's "Changes"! / David Bowie sings: "Oh, yeah! Mm...still don't know what I was waiting for! And my time was running wild, a million dead-end streets and; Every time I thought I'd got it made, it seemed the taste was not so sweet! So I turned myself to face me. But I've never caught a glimpse of how the others must see the faker! I'm much too fast to take that test! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange! Ch-ch-changes, don't want to be a richer man! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange! Ch-ch-changes, just gonna have to be a different man! Time may change me, but I can't trace time! Oh, yeah! I watch the ripples change their size, but never leave the stream of warm impermanence and; so the days float through my eyes, but still the days seem the same! And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds, are immune to your consultations. They're quite aware of what they're going through! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange! Ch-ch-changes, don't tell them to grow up and out of it! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange! Ch-ch-changes, where's your shame? You've left us up to our necks in it! Time may change me, but you can't trace time! Strange fascination, fascinating me! Ah, changes are taking the pace I'm going through! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange! Ch-ch-changes, oh, look out you rock 'n rollers! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange! Ch-ch-changes, pretty soon now, you're gonna get older! Time may change me, but I can't trace time! I said that time may change me, but I can't trace time!" (Musical Solo as the montage and song ends) / "The Legend Of The Lost Journal of Charles Darwin!" / It is night time, and the show opens up in a hotel room being shared by Bubble Bass and Yakkity Yak. Bubble Bass walks over to wake Yakkity, and Bubble Bass says: "Okay Yakkity. My shift is over. It's your turn to watch over Infant Rube now." Yakkity yawns, as he takes the ear-plugs out of his ears, and he says: "Okay." Bubble Bass yawns, as he starts climbing into bed, and he says: "It sure is amazing how quickly Infant Rube is getting a little bigger and smarter! It wasn't that long ago when he was so small and helpless!" Yakkity says: "Well, you can rest easy, knowing that as long as you're both here, I'll do my best to keep Infant Rube safe! I mean, I guess I kind of HAVE to, seeing what Infant Rube will eventually grow up to!" Bubble Bass sighs, and says: "Even though it's still kind of weird, that I got to see what my son grows up to be LONG before I'm supposed to; it still feels WEIRD to know that he's out of the competition! It's going to be a LONG 20 years for ME to wait, to; before I finally see Rube in that same way again, the way that Wally did!" Yakkity says: "Look, I know you're going to miss having the Future Rube around. I'll miss him, to! But if you miss what you're LONGING for, you'll miss out on what you already have! You have a WHOLE 20 years to raise Rube, give or take, before he comes back to this competition! Just...try not to think TOO hard about the logic of that! In any case, you're going to want to use all that available time, to help Future Rube grow up to be the man he's GOING to become! And I'm PRETTY sure you're going to use that time wisely! I mean, why else would Future Rube go out of his way just to come back in time to spend more time with you?! I mean, BESIDES the fact that Future Rube has TECHNICALLY already done it!" Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "You're right, Yakkity! The future isn't going to come any faster, or slower; so I have to enjoy the time I have now! I mean, I'm NOT going to be one of those OBSESSIVE parents; but I will make sure Future Rube has the chance to enjoy everything HE wants to enjoy! It's the least I can do, to show MY appreciation for him coming to help me realize what I TRULY need to do as a parent!" Yakkity says: "Sounds good to me! Anyways, I'll let you go to sleep while I stay by stand-by; in case Infant Rube needs anything. Say good-night to your daddy, Rube!" Infant Rube says: "I...I love you, daddy!" Bubble Bass sighs in contentment, as he says: "I love you, to! It's the LITTLE things that really make this work all worthwhile!" (Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "The team portion of this competition? That was actually the EASY part! Because we had our fellow team-mates to fall back on! Now, it's just going to be us, versus seven other contestants! And I'm the biggest target out of any of them, seeing as how I'm the only former champ left! But I'm not just going to 'Let' them eliminate me! If they want to PROVE they are more worthy to win this season than me, they'll have to EARN it! I think that's more than fair! After all, if someone CAN prove they are better than me; I'll be able to leave this competition with my head held high! After all, if I've gotten THIS far; it means that I'll ONLY lose to someone who honestly IS better than me! It's just that simple!" / Yakkity says: "To be honest, I never thought that my personality would've EVER allowed me to get this far! I mean, I made an alliance with BULMA of all contestants! Every other contestant who tried THAT in season three, ended up sealing their OWN fates! But somehow, I survived when every other contestant didn't! And...if I can outlast BULMA; I really have a chance to WIN this whole thing! And why not? I've come THIS far, and I didn't come this far, just to quit! So, I'll have to use all the skills I have within my fur and body; if I want to say that I'm a TRUE legend!" (End Confessional) It is early morning, and Po gathers the remaining Red Jaguars together in the Hotel lobby room. Po says: "First off, I'd like to say welcome back, Buhdeuce and Chameleon! Did you enjoy your trip out into the desert?" Chameleon says: "I certainly did! It was so GREAT to see all my relatives again!" Buhdeuce says: "Eh, it was a trip!" Po says: "In any case fellow Red Jaguars, this will probably be our last team meeting together. I just want to say, this competition has been nothing short of being surprising! I mean, together; we've outlasted NUMEROUS contestants that some of us thought that we would HAVE no chance of outlasting! Private, Aang, Darwin, Squidward, Dora, even Tigress, Dog, Zarbon, Jenny, Gerald, Fee, Bulma, Stimpy, Sandy, and Future Rube. Now, it's down to just eight of us. I won't pretend that the three of you won't try your hardest to try to eliminate me. I fully expect that, and I'd expect nothing less. You want to win this competition just as much; or possibly, more than I do! And if that HAPPENS to be the case, I expect NOTHING but your best from you!" Buhdeuce says: "You don't have to worry about THAT! I ALWAYS give out MY best whenever possible!" Chameleon says: "I probably WON'T use my transformation skills; but I'll still use plenty of my OWN skills for as long as I can!" Dudley says: "And you can expect an honorable challenge from me! When it comes to honor, I am LITERALLY the top dog!" Po says: "Very well, than! Even if we face off against each other in the challenge arena, let's still display the same sense of honor, that we always have!" Everyone puts their hands, or wings together, and they simultaneously say: "Agreed!" (Confessional) Po says: "Even if that team meeting WAS a rather moot point, I still felt like I had to make it; if for no other reason than to let everyone else know, that I fully expect them to target me. After all, why should I expect any different? I know, and I think THEY all know, that I'm the strongest challenger left in the competition! And if any of them WANT a chance at getting to the Final Three, than they'll HAVE to eliminate me before they can get there! I think this might be Buhdeuce's BEST opportunity to show off the TRUE extant of his skills! I want to see just how good he's become, and how good he truly IS!" / Buhdeuce sighs, and he says: "I'm not going to lie. Up until now, I've had it pretty easy being a member of a team! I feel like I've always made sure that I've done good enough job, that other contestants would NOT consider me as a liability, and would vote off someone else! But now that the teams are ending, just being THAT good won't cut it anymore! I'll have to perform at 110% for the remainder of the competition, if I'm going to be WORTHY of being called a TRUE legend! I mean, I think it would be amazing, if I could bring home the gold! And be considered a TRUE Breadwinner, even in Sway-Sway's eyes!" / Chameleon says: "With Dudley's help, we have somehow BOTH made it to the Team Merge again! But now, comes the TOUGH part! How are the two of US going to make it to the Final Three?! It's hard enough just trying to protect myself; let alone, having to think about Dudley! Even so, I've already gotten fifth place LAST time! I feel like I've had my share of winning! So, if one of us has to be eliminated before everything is said and done; I'm okay if it ends up being me. If it gives Dudley a chance of getting to the Final Three, I'm perfectly okay with that!" / Dudley says: "I obviously can't predict how this final portion of the competition is going to go; I've never GOTTEN this far in the competition before! I'll just have to take each challenge as they come, and do the best that I can! Of course, I'm NEVER going to vote off Chameleon just to get MYSELF further; I could NEVER do that! And that is NOT tempting fate, that's a GENUINE promise!" (End Confessional) It is breakfast time, and everyone is eating breakfast! Spongebob sighs, and says: "It still feels WEIRD to know, that Wally and Future Rube are really gone!" Marlene says: "I wish I could say the same about Wally; but it's HARD to just forgive someone who HELPED vote me off in season THREE!" Dudley says: "Hey! Chameleon and I were BOTH there, remember? He ONLY voted you OFF, because you LIED to Captain Retro about truly LOVING him, and thought you could use his powers to help you get an easy win in season three! I'm not saying Captain Retro was perfect by ANY means, but you didn't have to be THAT harsh to him!" Marlene groans, and she says: "And that move, is PRECISELY why I have REMOVED any and ALL flirtation based strategies OUT of my various sets of plans in THIS endeavor, as well as any other that I make!" Chameleon says: "At least for THAT much!" Than unexpectedly, Sniz personally comes INTO the cafeteria, brings the gong WITH him, and rings it! Sniz says: "Attention contestants! At the last challenge, Wally and Future Rube were automatically eliminated, due to having the least amount of points! Also, here is the IMPORTANT part of this announcement! As of right now, the two teams of the Green Monkeys and Red Jaguars, are NO more! From now on, it's EVERY contestant for themselves!" Yakkity says: "Not for US, Bubble Bass! I won't abandon helping YOU and your child! You can still count on me!" Bubble Bass says: "That's good to know!" Sniz says: "The team colors are no more! From now on, you're ultimately playing for yourself! That being said, the way the challenges will work, WILL change a little! Please head to the Moat to hear more details! That is all! Johnny Krill, this gong is ALL yours!" Johnny says: "All right! I've been looking FORWARD to spicing up my rim shot a little!" Po sighs, and he says: "Well, I guess this is it; Buhdeuce! If you plan on eliminating me, it's now or never!" Buhdeuce says: "I STILL expect your best, Po! Don't let me win without giving it your all! Tigress would NEVER let you hear the END of it!" Po THINKS about it, and he says: "Thanks for reminding me of that, Buhdeuce! In that case, I'm going to go all out, to!" (Confessional) Po says: "It looks like Tigress DIDN'T rub off on Buhdeuce as much as I thought! He was willing to remind me that I still have a duty to do my best as will! After all, nothing is over until the Fat Lady sings!...Not that I personally KNOW of any! I'm just saying!" / Buhdeuce says: "It wouldn't feel as satisfying to win, unless I'm able to beat someone at their absolute best! I know it won't be easy, but I HAVE to beat Po first! After all, if I can't beat Po; how could I possibly EXPECT to win against anybody else?! Sure, it will be a difficult task; but no season of this show has ever been an easy win for ANYBODY, no matter WHO they might have been!" (End Confessional) The contestants all head for the Moat to find Sniz, but instead find General Barracuda! Bubble Bass says: "Hi, dad! I made it all the way to the Team Merge again!" General Barracuda says: "I would've expected no less from a son of mine! Even so, don't expect ANY of these challenges to be EASY!" Spongebob says: "Don't worry! The LAST thing we expect from YOU, is 'Easy'!" General Barracuda chuckles, and he says: "And I'm proud of that, to! In any case, this next challenge is going to be really FUN, for ME! Because this challenge combines cunning, determination, and intelligence!" Chameleon suspiciously asks: "YOU like intelligence?" General Barracuda says: "You don't know EVERYTHING about me!" Dudley scoffs, and he says: "Obviously!" General Barracuda says: "Noted! Moving on, the way the Moat will work from now on; is that everyone will be competing to form a group of two, in order to take on the Steps of Knowledge, the Challenge Arena, and the Temple Run! Of course, only the group that wins two Pendants of Life; will get to compete in the Temple Run, and be safe from elimination! Everyone else, will have to vote against each other in an Elimination Ceremony! At least from now on, only ONE of you will be eliminated at a time! So at least, you won't have as MUCH pressure on you to do well; HOPEFULLY!" Yakkity says: "I still don't KNOW General Barracuda as well as YOU guys do; but when he said 'Hopefully' like that, it wasn't a GOOD sign! Am I right about that?" Marlene says: "You catch on fast, Yakkity!" General Barracuda says: "In any case, it's time to hear about today's Legend! Olmec, tell us what it is!" Sniz finally comes up, and says: "Hey! That's MY line! Olmec, tell us what today's legend is!" Olmec says: "Today's legend, is The Legend Of The Lost Journal of Charles Darwin!" General Barracuda asks: "And what was so wrong about ME saying that line?" Sniz says: "Nothing! It's just that you KNOW I'm supposed to say it!" General Barracuda says: "I just wanted to try it out, so SUE me!" Sniz says: "Well, I won't! In any case, for the Moat challenge today; you will re-enact Charles Darwin's voyage to the Galapagos Islands, aboard the Beagle! Of course, since a simple 'Ship' journey would be a little BORING; we've decided to turn it into a meatball cannon fight between all eight of you! Your job, is to fire at the other contestants, without getting hit yourself! If you are hit, you are OUT; and you can't fire anymore meatball cannon shots! You will continue firing until only two of you remain! The last two contestants left in a functional boat will be grouped together, and receive a Pendant of Life! And where you finish, such as 3rd place and 4th place; you two will be grouped together! Oh, and don't worry about what's going to happen to the meatballs! We'll scrape together whatever meat you've fired, clean it up, and use it to make DELICIOUS lasagna later! It's for THAT reason, we'll be playing Weird Al Yankovic's hit song, 'Lasagna', for your listening pleasure during this Moat Challenge!" Po says: "Good! A food song! That should DEFINITELY motivate me!" Sniz says: "Okay, everybody grab a boat and do your best! Go ahead, head out and get some distance from each other! Good! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" / While everyone starts off firing as many meatballs as they can at the other contestants, the two contestants that do the BEST jobs, end up being Buhdeuce and Marlene! / Weird Al Yankovic sings: "La-la-la-la-lasagna! You want-a some-a lasagna, magnifico! Or a-maybe spaghetti! Ay, you supper's a-ready now, where you go? Mama mia, bambino! Mama mia bambino, 'samatta you? 'Samatta you? 'Samatta you? You should-a taste my lasagna! Ay, you no like-a lasagna? That's okay, too. How about-a Calzone? Some-a nice minestrone, its good for you. Have-a some marinara! Have-a some marinara; I know-a you like! I know-a you like, I know-a you like! La-lasagna! La-lasagna! La-lasagna! Would you like some-a zucchini? Or-a my homemade linguini, it's hard to beat! Have-a more Fettuccini. Ay, you getting too skinny, you gotta to eat! Ay, mange, mange! (Musical Break) (Gargling occurs, as some contestants lose their ships, and fall into the Moat) Ay, you-a pass the lasagna! A-don't you get any on ya, you sloppy pig! Have-a more ravioli! You will get roly poly, and nice and-a big, like your cousin Luigi! Luigi, Luigi! Capisce paisan? Capisce paisan? Capisce, paisan! La-lasagna! La-lasagna! La-lasagna! La-lasagna! Hey! Hey!" / And the music ends as Buhdeuce and Marlene end up being the LAST contestants left with functioning boats! Sniz says: "And the challenge is over! Marlene and Buhdeuce are the last contestants left with functioning boats, so they will be teamed up together, and they receive a Pendant of Life! Now, here's where everyone else stands! Po and Chameleon will team up together since they placed 8th and 7th, Yakkity and Dudley will team up together since they placed 6th and 5th, and Spongebob and Bubble Bass will team up together since they placed 4th and 3rd!" Marlene says: "Well, this is different and unexpected! Where was THAT hustle back in season three?" Buhdeuce says: "I hadn't FOUND it back than, so sue me!" Marlene says: "Well, I won't! The important thing is, you have it NOW; when it will come in MOST handy!" (Confessional) Marlene says: "On the hand, I would rather NOT have to face off against somebody who has SUDDENLY discovered that they're really a GREAT contestant! But on the other hand, the LAST time I tried to go up against two 'Easy' goats, they ended up BOTH beating me for the Grand Prize! So, I'm NOT going to say anything about whether this is a bad thing or not! I mean, for all I know, this MIGHT actually work in MY favor!" / Buhdeuce says: "At this point, it's hard to say who would win, if the Final Two came down to being me and Marlene! I'm honestly not sure WHO would win! At least, I would certainly try my best!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Buhdeuce and Marlene are in the lead with a Pendant of Life, but everyone still has a chance to win! We've got to get some of our contestants dried up, but be sure to come back after the commercials, for more Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / I'll break here, and stop for now. Enough said, for now!

Yes, yes I am.

I'll try Patrick's pillow.

It's a long re-run, so I'll just get right to it! / Sniz is standing in front of the NEWLY refurbished Temple, and he says: "Last time, on Total Cartoon Legends, we were down to a DOZEN contestants, vying to win up to $44.44 million in cold, hard cash! Larry, decided that he HAD enough of Sandy NOT keeping the Red Jaguars safe from elimination, and attempted to stage a COUP to take the leadership away from her! BAD idea, Larry! And NOT just for the OBVIOUS reasons! Sandy decided, that she wasn't going to LET Larry humiliate Spongebob in the competition, and a FIGHT broke out! It would've been a LOT more funny, if Sandy and Larry didn't TRASH half of the Challenge Arena, and Olmec's Temple in the process! I had to FIRE six of the panelists, in order to PAY for all the damages, as well as install a new, steel gate, to the entrance of Olmec's Temple! Anyways, because they inflicted all that property damage; Sandy and Larry each received four penalty votes, which ended up costing them a chance at winning $44.44 million dollars, when they BOTH got eliminated at the Elimination Ceremony! Now, we are down to ten contestants, and it's time for the FINAL team challenge, and the FINAL Double Elimination of this half-season! Which two contestants will take a ride together THIS time? Which ancient legend will we unearth and discover within Olmec's Temple? And, will I EVER get tired of FIRING Cosmo for every stupid thing he does?! I highly DOUBT that last one, but for all other questions, stay tuned to find out the answers on today's episode, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where historic stories, can always be found within!" / Instead of the normal show open, it shows the remaining contestants, dressed in the garb of archeologists, and carrying their gear, as they do an excavation of the ancient area of Mesopotamia, as The Real Breadwinners sing THEIR version of The B-52's hit song, "Mesopotamia"! / Monster sings: "Turn your watch, turn your watch back; about a whole four thousand years. A whole four thousand years. I'll meet you by the third Ziggurat, I'll meet you by the third Ziggurat. Oh come on, that's what I want; we'll meet in Mesopotamia. Oh, oh, oh!" Heffer and Sway-Sway sing: "I ain't no student, (Feel those vibrations) of ancient culture! (I know a neat excavation)! Before I talk, I should read a book! But there's one thing I do know, there's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia!" Heffer sings: "It was a whole four thousand years ago, they laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! It was a whole four thousand years ago, they laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa!" Sway-Sway sings: "I'll meet you by the third Ziggurat. I'll meet you by the third Ziggurat. Oh come on, that's what I want; we'll meet in Mesopotamia. Oh, oh, oh!" Heffer and Monster sing: "Now I ain't no student, (Feel those vibrations) of ancient culture! (I know a neat excavation)! Before I talk, I should read a book! (Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go)! But there's one thing that I do know, (Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go)! There's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia!" Heffer sings: "It was a whole four thousand years ago they laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! It was a whole four thousand years ago, they laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! In Mesopotamia! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! They laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! In Mesopotamia! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa!" / And the epic song and montage ends! / "The Legend Of The Lost Code of Hammurabi!" / It is night-time, and the scene opens up in the hotel room of Wally and Future Adult Rube Goldfish. They're playing checkers together, but they're CLEARLY not in a competitive mode, and are just playing for fun! Future Rube says: "Wally, we might have been through some tough times in these challenges together, but I feel that having gone through them with you, it's made this experience much better, than I ever thought it could be!" Wally asks: "Don't they have experiences like THIS in your time?!" Future Rube says: "Well...that's something I'm not sure I should say. Besides, it won't be relevant to YOU for another 20 years anyways!" Wally says: "Fair enough!" Future Rube sighs, and says: "As much as it pains me to say this, I have a feeling that we might be coming up to our LAST team challenge together! I'm not sure what's going to happen to the unity that everyone has established together! All I know is, I simply CAN'T endure the thought, of having to go through a challenge without you." Wally says: "Rube, you're a good man, and a REALLY good contestant! I mean, you have magic, and despite that; you've never used it ONCE while you have been a contestant! I'm not sure a lot of contestants, if they were in YOUR position; would've shown such self-restraint! Even Captain Retro had trouble figuring out when was the BEST time to use his abilities!" Future Rube says: "Well, I'm sure that's probably the reason WHY Captain Retro became a contestant when he did. He needed to figure THAT tricky problem out! And the fact that he didn't KNOW how to be humble, or let other contestants figure out problems on their own initially; is no indication that he wasn't smart, he simply didn't know HOW to be humble until he learned THAT lesson for himself! I mean, this might be a somewhat EXTREME example; but WE'RE learning how to be better, by discovering what is right for US!" Wally says: "You're probably right. But why would you THINK that this would be OUR last team challenge?" Future Rube sighs, and says: "I came back here, to spend time with my dad. And as I've found out, help HIM become the best version of himself. I feel like I've done all I can for my dad, here. Besides, I didn't START this challenge at the beginning, the way YOU did! It wouldn't be RIGHT for me to try to win this!" Wally sighs, and he says: "I guess I can understand that. I mean, you ALSO have to do; what you think is right for you!" Future Rube says: "When I get back to my time, only a few seconds will have passed from the perspective of my dad in the future. I know it won't be the same for you. Are you going to be all right without me?" Wally says: "Rube, the thought of someday being able to get back together with you, will power me through any and ALL of my adventures, until we meet again!" Future Rube sighs in relief, and he says: "Thank you! I certainly needed to hear that!" (Confessional) Future Rube says: "If there's one thing I've learned from my experience on this show, is that MOST people have something they're really WILLING to fight for! It might be what they personally believe in, or in my case; it's someone I truly love! But more important than finding someone that YOU really love, is making sure that THEY really love you in return! Otherwise; the whole thing really doesn't work! After all, relationships can only TRULY work, if BOTH partner's are equally committed to the endeavor! And from what I've seen Wally would be willing to travel to the known edge of the universe and back, just to be with me! Now THAT; is a REALLY awesome guy!" / Wally says: "Before I met Future Rube, I never really felt like I could truly be the most honest VERSION of myself; if only because I didn't really know WHO the most honest version of myself WAS! But after being together with him all this time, I learned that I don't HAVE to act like a naive fool, the way I did on my own show! I AM capable of being smart, competent, and a very capable monkey capable of handling challenges that are both physical and mental! Even though it will take me 20 years to get back together with him, I know that I'll be able to handle ANY challenge that comes my way in the meantime!" (End Confessional) The sun rises up, and the action focuses on the remaining Red Jaguars, in the hotel lobby room. Po says: "Red Jaguars, we are in a REALLY tricky situation right now!" Dudley says: "No kidding! Not only have we lost our LEADER, we lost our second-in-command, to! We are a team without leadership!" Buhdeuce says: "To be honest, I have conflicting emotions about this whole thing. On the one hand, even though I felt like Sandy and Larry didn't respect ME as a contestant; mostly due to what I HAD to do on MY show, I still wish I had been able to HONESTLY show them what I was capable of!" Chameleon says: "Well, TECHNICALLY; you still CAN show them what you're capable of, they just can't see it in person!" Buhdeuce says: "Good point!" Dudley says: "Regardless of how we feel, we still need a team leader for this team; even if we're only together for one more episode!" Po says: "Well, a team leader needs certain qualities! A team leader needs to be strong, smart, competent, capable, and have a high, moral character! I think under the circumstances, I think I'm the best candidate to be the new team leader!" Chameleon says: "I certainly can't argue with that! I wouldn't know HOW to!" Buhdeuce says: "And if YOU'RE the team leader, does that mean that you're going to listen to, and respect ALL of our opinions equally?!" Po says: "Of course! That's what being a GOOD leader is all about! Even if you don't AGREE with someone else's opinions; you should at LEAST listen to them! And if they are well-REASONED opinions based on FACTS, you should DEFINITELY respect them!" Buhdeuce says: "That's all the convincing that I need!" Dudley says: "And Po is DEFINITELY our best bet to help us through this last team challenge! So, congratulations Po! Our fate lies in your hands!" (Confessional) Dudley says: "The amazing thing about the TUFF agency, is that even though our Chief is only a cockroach, he's still a really tough, strong individual! There's practically NOTHING you can throw at him, that will slow him down! And he really let's everyone play to their own strengths! I think that's the reason why I'm able to work so well together with the rest of TUFF! It took me a while to catch up with everyone else, but I finally feel like I've mastered my OWN strengths, and can now use them when the right opportunities arise for me!" / Buhdeuce says: "When I started this season, I honestly never thought I could COME this far on my own! I always thought that I would need Sway-Sway to help me get through the TOUGH challenges! But after I beat Tigress, the possibilities of what I could do, really opened up for me! And now I've become a capable contestant in my own right! Don't get me wrong; I want to WORK with Sway-Sway for as long as I can! But at least, I now know that I can handle problems on my own; if that is what is required of me!" / Chameleon says: "Before Dudley gave me the chance to work with TUFF, I never really HAD a direction, or a sense of purpose! But my experience of working together with Dudley and all his friends, have made me realize that THOSE guys, like and respect me MORE, than Snaptrap and the OTHER recurring villains of Petropolis EVER did! I mean, they NEVER gave ME my own parking space and personalized locker! I'm just saying that little things, can add up to a lot; when they are done with LOVE!" / Po says: "Look, I was NEVER going to come out, and just ASSUME that team leadership would EVER be mine! Tigress TRIED that, and NOBODY ever really respected her for HER decisions! Of course, no one was EVER going to argue with HER strength, but that's BESIDES the point! I wanted to be a team leader, only if everyone else WANTED me to be a team leader! And even if this position doesn't require me to protect the Valley of Peace, I'm still going to do the best job that I can, of keeping my fellow team-mates safe!" (End Confessional) It is breakfast time, and everyone is in the cafeteria, eating breakfast! Yakkity looks to Marlene, and he asks: "Are you worried?" Marlene says: "About being the only female left in the competition? Of COURSE not! This isn't the FIRST time that I've been a party of one! Although, I am a little worried about how Spongebob will fare! I...have a feeling that something might have happened to Sandy and Larry!" Bubble Bass asks: "You sensed it TO?! I'm glad I wasn't the only one! I mean, this is probably going to be our LAST team challenge together! And going into the Merge, we'll need to be at the best condition we can possibly be in; in order for ANY of us to have the best chance at winning this game!" Future Rube says: "I just want to let you know something right now, Dad." Bubble Bass asks: "What's that?" Future Rube says: "Regardless of the outcome today, I just want to let you know that coming back in time, to spend more time with you; was an AMAZING experience, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!" Bubble Bass says: "Well...it's going to be a little WEIRD, for ME; to know what you will eventually grow UP to be, and not being able to tell you!" Future Rube sighs, and he says: "I...can certainly understand THAT feeling! I had my OWN issues I had to struggle with! But, if it's any consolation, I think we BOTH helped each other figure out the BEST versions of ourselves!" Wally says: "I certainly think so!" A gong rings, and Sniz's voice comes over the loud-speakers: "Attention Green Monkeys! Due to Penalty Votes, Sandy and Larry were eliminated at the last Elimination Ceremony! And everybody; today WILL be our last team challenge for this half-season, so let's end it on a high note! Please report to the Moat to find out about today's challenge! That is all!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Well, I can't pretend I didn't see THIS coming! I mean, I've been without Sandy BEFORE; but I was totally PREPARED for it in season three! But now; I've got to face it WITHOUT Larry to back me up! I'm in uncharted waters!" Future Rube says: "What are YOU worried about? You're a SPONGE! If anyone is equipped for uncharted waters, it's YOU!" Bubble Bass says: "And you don't need to worry about ANYTHING; Spongebob! I promised Sandy, that as long as I was here; that I would help you out in ANY way I could!" Spongebob's eyes brighten up, and he asks: "Do you REALLY mean that?!" Bubble Bass says: "Of course! It's the LEAST I can do for all the times you SELFLESSLY cooked Krabby Patties for me, even when I WASN'T being the most congenial!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Thank you, Bubble Bass. I really needed to hear that! You're REALLY the BEST naked fish that a sponge could hope to have for a PRESENT friend!" Bubble Bass says: "Unusual compliment; but since I haven't really gotten many, I'll take what I can get! Thank you, Spongebob!" (Confessional) Yakkity says: "Bravery and honesty, as displayed by Bubble Bass; is a rare and precious gift. It's something that's definitely not seen THAT often during competition's of this nature! I hope someday, such bravery and honesty will be rewarded as a VIRTUE; and that NOBODY will try to hide behind LIES and deceit! Because in the end, lies can only hurt YOURSELF in the long run; and that's the TRUTH!" / Spongebob says: "It always amazes me, how each of my season experiences in this show have been SO different from each other! That being said, I really feel that this season; I have NEVER been more competent than I am now! And...I learned that I am capable of being strong, of being smart; and also, that I've made mistakes. But, mistakes don't DEFINE who you are! It's the ability to LEARN from them, that TRULY makes all the difference in the world! Bubble Bass has DEFINITELY shown me, what can happen WHEN you learn from your mistakes, and make an honest effort to BECOME the best version of yourself! And, if I'm not the best version of myself YET; I feel like I definitely soon WILL be! Bubble Bass has SHOWN me what is possible! Now, it's my duty to live up to HIS example, the best way that I personally can!" (End Confessional) The contestants suit up into their team colors, and head for the Moat! Sniz says: "Welcome contestants, to the challenge most of you have been waiting for! You've beaten 36 other contestants so far, but those have all been team challenges! After today, you will all be on your own! And after eliminating two more contestants today, each contestant will have seven other contestants to compete against! This game is not over yet! It is still ANYONE'S game to win or lose! And to help us find out what kind of game we're going to play today; we'll be going to Olmec, who will tell us about today's legend!" Olmec says: "Today's Legend, is The Legend Of The Lost Code of Hammurabi!" Johnny Krill says: "THAT...is a PRETTY old legend!" General Barracuda chuckles, and he says: "It's even OLDER than Haggis McHaggis!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! Sniz says: "Hyperbole jokes about OLD people besides, it's time to reveal how you'll be getting across the Moat! In ancient Sumerian times, back in the old civilizations of Ur, Assyria, and Babylon; the way to travel across water, was by building a make-shift boat raft; out of bundled thrush reeds! However, seeing that only MARLENE has the skills to actually MAKE such a boat raft; we decided to MERCIFULLY cut out THAT part of the challenge, so that you only have to row the boat raft across the moat! Each team will row across in groups of two! And since EVERYONE will have to participate in this challenge, that actually GIVES the Red Jaguars an advantage; since they only have TWO groups to get across, instead of three! Oh, and one more thing! This challenge will be ANOTHER point accumulation challenge! The two contestants with the LOWEST total scores, unless they have an Immunity Pendant; than regardless of team standings, those two contestants WILL be automatically eliminated! So, no Elimination Ceremony! Do not pass go! Do not pass go, do not get the chance to collect up to $44.44 million dollars!" Marlene says: "Another automatic elimination!" Yakkity asks: "What are we going to do?" Wally turns to Future Rube, and Wally says: "Rube, we're in this together. For better, or worse. And if we lose, at least we'll lose together." Future Rube says: "I can live with that." Bubble Bass says: "Well, I was hoping to team up with my son; but I guess I'll have to team up with Spongebob!" Yakkity says: "Which means I get to team up with 'Funny Otter', herself!" Marlene asks: "Funny Otter?!" Yakkity says: "If they ever remake 'Funny Girl', and they cast it with YOU as the lead star, that should TOTALLY be the name of YOUR movie!" Marlene says: "I'm going to have to remember that!" Dudley says: "I'm teaming up with Chameleon!" Po says: "So by default, that means that I'm with Buhdeuce!" Sniz says: "Okay! Everybody has a partner! The first group to get across will receive 30 points, the second group to get across will receive 25 points, and so on to the last group to get across, will receive only 10 points. And to help EVERY group cross, we'll be playing Fleetwood Mac's hit song, 'Hold Me'!" Wally says: "Now THERE'S a song, I don't mind listening to!" Sniz says: "Everyone get into positions! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" / While every other group tries to go at their fastest to get to the other side of the Moat first, Wally and Future Rube seem more content with enjoying each other's company, and simply enjoying their boat ride. / Fleetwood Mac sings: "Can you understand me? Baby, don't you hand me a line. Although it doesn't matter, you and me got plenty of time! There's nobody in the future, so baby, let me hand you my love! There's no step for you to dance to, so slip your hand inside of my glove! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Me! I don't want no damage, but how'm I gonna manage with you? You hold the percentage, but I'm the fool payin' the dues! I live just around the corner, if you've got a minute to spare! I'll be waitin' for you, if you ever wanna be there! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Me! (Instrumental Break) Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me!" / And the song fades out as the challenge ends as Wally and Future Rube are the last group to finish crossing! / Sniz says: "Okay! The Moat Challenge is over! So, let's tally up the points! Po and Buhdeuce are first with 30 points, Spongebob and Bubble Bass are second with 25 points, Marlene and Yakkity are third with 20 points, Dudley and Chameleon are fourth with 15 points, and Wally and Future Rube are fifth with 10 points!" Bubble Bass asks: "Are you all right, son? I thought you'd be trying HARDER than this at THIS point of the game!" Future Rube says: "I'm fine, dad! I...guess I just really miss MY own time! And besides, the sooner I get back to MY time, the sooner I can be back together with Wally; even if it isn't SOON from his perspective!" Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "Well, I certainly understand it!" Sniz says: "Well, since the Green Monkeys scored five more points, they will receive a Pendant of Life that they will need for the Temple Run!" Marlene says: "Awesome! Yakkity, you are a REAL fine rower!" Yakkity says: "I'm also a REAL fine FUR grower, but that's BESIDES the point!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! Sniz says: "We've got to get everyone dried off! But don't go away, because we'll be right back with MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / After the commercials end, the contestants are beginning to gather at The Steps of Knowledge. Marlene asks: "Yakkity, which side do you think is my BETTER looking side?" Yakkity looks at BOTH her left and her right side, and he says: "I honestly DON'T know! They book look EXACTLY the same to me! Why do you even WANT to know?" Marlene says: "Well, in case I actually WIN; I want to be PHOTOGRAPHED with MY best looking side as much as possible! Maybe I should photograph BOTH sides, and me facing forward, just for the sake of having complete coverage!" Po turns to Buhdeuce, and Po says: "Buhdeuce, in case you were wondering just WHY I loved Tigress enough to marry her, the fact that she DOESN'T obsess over which side is her best side, is just ONE of the many reasons why!" Buhdeuce says: "As far as I'm concerned, the fact that you even FOUND one reason is impressive to ME!" Po says: "Just don't let TIGRESS hear YOU saying that!" Buhdeuce says: "Fair enough!" Bubble Bass turns to Spongebob, and Bubble Bass asks: "Spongebob, you're not worried about TODAY'S challenge, are you?" Spongebob says: "Not really! I mean, it is an AUTOMATIC elimination this time, so I have no control over who is leaving or not! I'm just wondering if YOU'LL be all right if Future Rube has to leave!" Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "Well, I never expected that a future version of MY son would come from the future to be here in the first place. But, in a weird way, I've learned a lot from him. And...I thought that because I had learned so much from him, that he actually KNEW more than me! It...would be kind of awkward for me, if I happen to do better than him NOW, right before the Team Merge! I wish I knew if there was anything I could do or say, to find out if I what I THINK that I WANT to do, is the right thing to do for Rube!" Dudley says: "Well, you can take comfort in the fact that you're HARDLY the only one who's ever wondered about that, at some point in their lives! It took me a LONG time, just to figure out how to act around Kitty!" Chameleon says: "Kind of the same way it took HER a long time, to figure out how to act around ME!" Wally says: "Well, I think the BIGGEST reason that we've all gotten as FAR as we have, is because we HAVE all taken the time to take all the lessons we've HAD to learn this season, to heart! We've learned from our mistakes! And regardless of what happens, I feel like even IF I have to leave after this challenge, I can leave knowing that I gave it my best effort!" Future Rube says: "And dad, I honestly had NO intentions of trying to win this season! The only reason I came back to this time, is because I felt it was the RIGHT thing to do! Well, THAT; and to ensure a Stable Time Loop!" Bubble Bass says: "Fair enough!" Sniz says: "Okay, contestants! That's enough chatting! It's time to get onto the Steps of Knowledge! I ASSUME everyone wants to stick with the partners that they already have!" Yakkity says: "Well, I'm pretty sure that the saying GOES; if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Bubble Bass asks: "Is 'Ain't' even considered proper ENGLISH anymore?!" Marlene says: "Who CARES?! You UNDERSTAND what he means!" Sniz says: "Precisely! And seeing as I have no takers for switching, we'll stay with the groups we have! Now, we have FIVE groups of two, but only EIGHT contestants can go down the Steps of Knowledge! One group of Green Monkeys will have to sit this challenge out." Future Rube says: "I think it's best if I sit this one out. Since I'm from the future, I don't know if I know any knowledge that Olmec hasn't found out yet!" Spongebob asks: "Rube! Are you SURE about that?!" Future Rube says: "Spongebob, you've come a LONG way since the beginning of this season, but you still NEED to accept the fact that OTHERS have wants and needs of their own. And sometimes, maybe THEIR wants and needs aren't the same as yours! And that's usually completely FINE! As long as you're not hurting anybody or oppressing them, everyone should have the freedom to have their own desires!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "You're right! That...is one of the issues that I've had trouble dealing with. But...if it IS your decision, I accept it!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "That doesn't necessarily mean that it's easy for me to DO so!" / Bubble Bass says: "The truth is, I think I needed to learn THAT lesson to! I mean, Future Rube IS my son! But that doesn't mean he's exactly like me, and that's perfectly fine! I just want him to be happy with his OWN decisions!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Okay! Well, hopefully Wally and Future Rube will be able to catch up in the refurbished Challenge Arena! As for everyone else, it's time to find out about Hammurabi's Code!" Olmec says: "Around 1810 B.C.E., a man known to historians simply as Hammurabi, was born into the First Babylonian dynasty of the Amorite Tribe! The Babylonians gained prominence, due to the fact, that many of their own, were of the literate class! Although Hammurabi was actually the SIXTH King of the dynasty, he is arguably one of the better known ones! This is due to the fact, that during the reign of Hammurabi, which lasted from about 1792 B.C.E., to 1750 B.C.E., Hammurabi managed to bring nearly the entire region of Mesopotamia, under his rule by 1763 B.C.E.! Unfortunately, not much is known about Hammurabi's early life, due to the fact that he grew up during peaceful times. What is known, is that sometime around 1790 B.C.E., Hammurabi claimed to receive a vision, from the Mesopotamian Sun God Shamash, a code of 282 laws; that would collectively be known as The Code of Hammurabi. While this code, was by no means the first rule of laws ever written; it is significant, as it was the first REAL prototype, for many of the modern laws used by many nations today! While some of the laws are harsh by today's standards, they set a precedent. While previous codes of laws would only compensate the victim of a crime if they lost something; the Code of Hammurabi detailed on 12 Cuneiform Stone tablets, the details of what crimes were against the law, and the punishment a person would receive for committing such a crime! It was also the first code of laws, that a person would always be presumed innocent, unless proven guilty. Because Hammurabi brought unity and stability to ancient Mesopotamia, he eventually began to be viewed as the equivalent of a God within his own life-time. Even after his death at the age of 60, from currently unknown causes, he was still revered as a great conqueror. While most of Hammurabi's Code of Laws was eventually rediscovered in modern day Iran in 1901, with a copy now residing in the Louvre, a tablet of the Code of Hammurabi was lost to the mists of time, until it found it's way to the Temple. Your job, is to retrieve the Cuneiform Stone tablet, of the Code of Hammurabi, and bring it back here!" Sniz says: "Thanks, Olmec! Where can the Cuneiform Stone tablet, of the Code of Hammurabi be found?" Olmec says: "The lost Cuneiform Stone Tablet, can be found in the Chamber of the Sun!" Sniz says: "All right! You guys know the drill! Each correct answer will net you ten points, and the first group down will receive a Pendant of Life! Olmec, take it away!" Olmec asks: "True or false; as far as historians know, Hammurabi IS his only known name?" Yakkity rings in, and Marlene says: "True!" Olmec says: "That is correct! And Yakkity and Marlene move down a step! Marlene says: "Wow, Yakkity! You're quite the HUSTLER for a yak!...Uh, THAT came out wrong!" Olmec asks: "What is the estimated birth date for Hammurabi?" Chameleon rings in, and Dudley says: "1810 B.C.E.!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Dudley and Chameleon move down a step! Dudley says: "All right! We are ONE step closer to a Temple Run!" Chameleon says: "I am SO excited!" Olmec asks: "What tribe was Hammurabi born into?" Spongebob rings in, and Bubble Bass answers: "The Amorite Tribe of the first Babylonian Dynasty!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "We definitely compliment our skills together WELL in THIS challenge!" Spongebob says: "I'm a little CONFUSED by that statement, but I'm pretty sure that it's a GOOD thing!" Olmec asks: "Hammurabi became WHICH numbered King, of the First Babylonian Dynasty?" Buhdeuce rings in, and Po answers: "The SIXTH King!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Buhdeuce and Po move down a step! Marlene says: "Po and Buhdeuce are now AHEAD of us in points! We need to step up our game!" Yakkity says: "No kidding!" Olmec asks: "How long did Hammurabi's reign last?" Yakkity rings in, and Marlene answers: "From 1792 B.C.E., to 1750 B.C.E.!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Marlene and Yakkity move down a step! Wally says: "All things considered, I'm not sure who I want to WIN the Steps of Knowledge!" Future Rube says: "I know I'm a little biased, but I REALLY want my DAD to win this challenge!" Wally says: "That's understandable!" Olmec asks: "How many laws, did the Code of Hammurabi have?" Spongebob rings in, and Bubble Bass answers: "282 laws on 12 Cuneiform Stone Tablets!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "And to THINK, it won't be long before Spongebob Squarepants has 282 EPISODES, one episode for EACH of those laws!" Olmec asks: "Which God did Hammurabi claim to receive his code of laws from?" Buhdeuce rings in, and Po answers: "The Mesopotamian Sun God, Shamash!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Po and Buhdeuce move down a step! Wally says: "This is DEFINITELY one of the closer Steps of Knowledge challenge that I've seen in quite a while!" Future Rube says: "Quite understandable! I mean, I figure we MUST be pretty smart if we've made it THIS far!" Olmec asks: "When did Hammurabi bring nearly the entire region of Mesopotamia, under his control?" Chameleon rings in, and Dudley answers: "1763 B.C.E.!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" Sniz says: "All right! This question is FOR the Pendant!" Olmec asks: "True or False; The Code of Hammurabi was one of the FIRST code of laws, that presumed a person was innocent until proven guilty?" Buhdeuce rings in and answers: "True!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Po and Buhdeuce move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "The Red Jaguars did it! They receive a Pendant of Life! Everything is tied up 1 to 1! That means we now move to the Challenge Arena to figure out who gets the Final Pendant! But first, let's tally up our scores! Po and Buhdeuce are first with 60 points, Spongebob and Bubble Bass are second with 45 points, Marlene and Yakkity are third with 40 points, Dudley and Chameleon are fourth with 35 points, and Wally and Future Rube are still in fifth with just 10 points! Hopefully, they'll be able to turn their luck around during the Challenge Arena!" Marlene looks to Yakkity, and she asks: "Yakkity, would YOU have ever guessed that Buhdeuce could be THIS good?!" Yakkity says: "Don't ask ME! How would I know?! For all intents and purposes, we're in the same BOAT together!" Marlene says: "Good thing we BOTH know how to SWIM!" (Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "One of the things that was HARDEST about being on my show, was having to hold BACK my true level of intelligence, for the sake of my show! But now that I don't have to WORRY about staying to the standards of JUST my show, I can finally show EVERYONE just how smart and capable I am!" / Po says: "I NEVER thought I would say this, but I think I've finally FOUND another challenger, who might be able to handle my FULL amount of physical prowess, the way Tigress can! It will be interesting to see what Buhdeuce can do, once we HAVE to go head to head against each other!" / Marlene says: "Buhdeuce DEFINITELY needs to get a better agent, if he was THAT competent and capable of handling himself all ALONG! Just so long as it's not MY agent!" / Yakkity says: "While I've always fashioned myself as my OWN agent, I probably WOULD be able to discover MORE potential offers, if I found an ACTUAL agent of my own!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Okay! It's time to reveal what the plan for the Challenge Arena is! Hammurabi's reign lasted for 42 years! And during his reign, one of the things that the Babylonians were known for, is building Ziggurats! Therefore, your challenge, is that each group is to build up to five Ziggurats, EACH with seven levels of building; to total up to 42 levels, one for each year of Hammurabi's reign! Each level you complete will equal one point! And by the end of this challenge, the group that has the most points, will get to go on a Temple Run! Not only that, they will be competing for a reward! Johnny Krill, tell our challengers what the Reward is THIS time!" Johnny Krill says: "Well, our sponsors WOULDN'T okay a trip into the Middle East, but we've got what is probably the NEXT best thing! A trip into beautiful Death Valley, California! To see the late summer flowers bloom, with an all expenses paid trip to Barstow, California to cap it all off! Barstow, California; where the number one thing MOST people want to do when they get there, is to figure out how to get the HECK out of there!" Marlene says: "They expect ME; to work MY tail off just to visit some city that I've ALREADY seen back in season three of this show?! HARD PASS!!!!" Yakkity says: "Come on! I've never been there! We could at LEAST try to win it!" Marlene sighs, and she says: "Okay! I'll try to win it, but only because YOU'VE never been there!" (Confessional) Marlene says: "The things I do, to endear myself to potential friends!" / Yakkity says: "From Marlene's perspective, it HAS been over two years since she has LAST been there! For all SHE knows, Barstow might be a happening place, now!" (End Confessional) Future Rube asks: "Wally, have YOU ever built a Ziggurat before?" Wally says: "No! As a matter of fact, I never even HEARD of such a building until this very EPISODE!" Future Rube says: "Well, it doesn't matter! Let's just try to do our best! You're not REALLY worried about this challenge, right?" Wally says: "No, of course not! Besides, as long as I get to have fun with you, that's the most important thing!" (Confessional) Wally says: "I always get a lot of satisfaction out of having as much fun with my friends, when I'm able to be with them. I think THAT'S the reason why a good number of former contestants like me so much! It's because I'm loyal to those who EARN my loyalty, and I try to be as honest as I possibly can, in any and ALL of my endeavors!" / Future Rube says: "Even though I won't be able to SEE this season for 20 years, I still feel that this season is something I can be proud of, because I've learned how to be the BEST version of myself, thanks to Wally and my dad!" (End Confessional) Spongebob turns to Bubble Bass, and Spongebob says: "Bubble Bass, you're not REALLY interested into going to Death Valley, are you?!" Bubble Bass scoffs, and he says: "PLEASE! Death Valley is like the complete ANTITHESIS of the ocean! There's not enough sun-screen in the WORLD that could get me to JUST go there!" Spongebob says: "Me, neither! But we should STILL try to score some points so we don't end up dead last!" Bubble Bass says: "It's STRANGE when you want to do well, but not THAT well!" (Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "Seeing as how this is a challenge where I don't NEED to tackle it at full throttle, it would be a GOOD opportunity to see just how PHYSICAL and capable the OTHER challengers are; if for no other reason except to help Spongebob out!" / Spongebob says: "I heard that LONG ago, Death Valley, and other places that are now desert; were once either temperate forests or inland seas. It really makes one stop and think, just how much can change; when given enough time." (End Confessional) Po asks: "Buhdeuce, do you think we can win this challenge?" Buhdeuce says: "Po, building is ONE of my specialties! I mean, I HAVE helped Sway-Sway build AND maintain MILES of mine-cart rail tracks around Pondgea! I mean, building Ziggurat's might be a LITTLE different; but it's nothing I can't handle!" Po says: "Good! That's practically HALF of the battle won, right there!" Chameleon says: "It would be nice if WE could win, so I could go to Death Valley and visit some of my relatives!" Dudley says: "It won't be an EASY task! We'd have to finish building at LEAST 26 levels of Ziggurats, just to get ahead of Po and Buhdeuce; and there's no telling how much THEY'LL be able to build! Still, I'll help you win that reward if I possibly can!" Chameleon says: "Thank you, Dudley! You're the best!" Dudley says: "Well, I certainly TRY to be!" (Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "I have to be honest; even I'M amazed at just how competent and capable I've become! Now that I've come this far, I want to see if I can take it all the way! I think it would be AWESOME, if I could go back to Pondgea, as a TRUE legend!" / Dudley says: "Even if something is HARD to do, you should STILL try to make sure that you tackle any task that comes your way, as well as you possibly can! Besides, if I can win Chameleon something nice in the process; it would make my effort SO much more rewarding!" / Chameleon says: "That's one of the many things I LOVE about Dudley! Whatever is thrown his way, he ALWAYS tackles it with as much enthusiasm and energy as he possibly can!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "All right! Everyone is as ready as they possibly CAN be! And to make everyone feel as energetic as we possibly can, we'll be playing the Katrina and the Waves' hit song, 'Walking On Sunshine!' Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" / While most of the other contestants, ESPECIALLY Buhdeuce and Po, work really well at building Ziggurat levels, Wally and Future Rube keep faltering due to not having the first CLUE as to how to put even a MOCK Ziggurat together! / Katrina And The Waves sing: "Ow! Mm, yeah! I used to think maybe you loved me; now, baby, I'm sure! And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door! Now every time I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down! 'Cause I just can't wait till you write me, you're coming around! And I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! And don't it feel good! Hey, all right now! And don't it feel good! Hey, yeah! I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it's true! And I don't want to spend my whole life just a-waiting for you! Now, I don't want you back for the weekend; not back for a day! No, no, no! I said; 'Baby, I just want you back, and I want you to stay'! Oh yeah; now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! And don't it feel good! Hey, all right now! And don't it feel good! Yeah; oh yeah, now! And don't it feel good! (Musical Break) Walking on sunshine! Walking on sunshine! I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that's really real! I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that's really real! I'm on sunshine baby, oh! Oh yeah, I'm on sunshine baby! Oh, I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! And don't it feel good! Hey, all right now! And don't it feel good! I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll say it again now! And don't it feel good! Hey, yeah now! And don't it feel good! Now don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it; and don't it feel good! I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll say it again now! And don't it feel good! Now don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it; and don't it feel good! Now tell me, tell me, tell me again now; and don't it feel good! Oh yeah, now! And don't it feel good! Oh don't it feel good, don't it feel good! Now, don't it feel good! Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah! And don't it feel good! Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah!" / And the song ends as the challenge ends! Sniz says: "The challenge is over! It's time to reveal how many Ziggurat levels each group managed to build! Spongebob and Bubble Bass built 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32 levels; so they now both have 77 points. Marlene and Yakkity built 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 37 levels; so they now both have 77 points. Dudley and Chameleon built 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 29 levels; so they now both have 64 points. Wally and Future Rube built 1, 2, 4, 6 levels; so they now both have 16 points. Po and Buhdeuce built 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 levels; so they now BOTH have 100 points! Po and Buhdeuce win a Pendant of Life, which means the Red Jaguars are going to the Temple! Wally and Future Rube, I'm very sorry; but since you both only scored 16 points, you will face the Mine Cart of Shame once the Temple Run is completed! For now, it's time to find out which order you will tackle the Temple in!" Po says: "I'll go first!" Sniz says: "Which means Buhdeuce will go second! Now listen closely, as Map's visual information will fill in, as Olmec reveals the way to get through the Temple!" Map says: "I'm on it!" / And Map's visual information fills in, as Olmec explains the Temple layout! / Olmec says: "First, you will pass through the Mummy's Crypt! Pull on the right book, but beware of a Temple Guard! Next, go onto the Ledge! Knock over the Column, and climb up into the Buddha's Temple! Light up the correct statue of Buddha, and climb down into Medusa's Lair! Place the snakes into Medusa's hair, than head into the Arid Desert! Fill up the Cactus with enough water, and head into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! Assemble the Monkey in the correct order, and head into the Room of Tones! Find the right note within the room, that will allow you to slide down, into the Murky Bog! Break down the Stone Wall, and head into the Chamber of the Sun, where you can find the Lost Cuneiform Stone tablet, of the Code of Hammurabi! Spin the sun display until it shines, than head into the Snake Pit! Manuever your way through the maze, than head into the Room of Panels! Make sure all the panels surrounding the ladder match each other; than, head back through the Pit! Climb through the Cave of Sighs, and back to the Temple Entrance! The choices are yours, and yours alone! Good luck!" Sniz says: "All right! Remember, if you complete the Temple Run in three minutes; you'll get to go on the trip to Death Valley and Barstow, California! Olmec, lower the steel gate!" Olmec groans as he lowers the steel gate! Sniz says: "Po, get ready, and let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!" / And Po takes off, and Sniz narrates the action as he goes along! / Sniz says: "Po enters the Mummy's Crypt, and a Temple Guard right off the bat! He gives up his pendant, and he's found the right tablet! Onto the ledge where...Po is clapping loudly! He's knocked down the column with his sound vibrations! Very clever! Now he climbs up into Buddha's Temple! He's got to light up the right statue, and he's found it! Down he climbs into Medusa's Lair! Another Temple Guard! Go, Buhdeuce, go! He's making up good time as he goes through the Mummy's Crypt! Across the Ledge! Up into Buddha's Temple, and down into Medusa's Lair! He's got to put the snakes into her hair, and he's done it! Into the Arid Desert! He's got to fill up the cactus with enough water! And he's done it! Into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! It's Johnny Krill as a Temple Guard! Buhdeuce gives up his Pendant! Now Buhdeuce has got the base, he's got the stomach and the head; he's putting them together, and it connects! Into the Room of Tones! He's got to find the right note, and he's done it! Down he slides into the Murky Bog! He's got to break down the Stone Wall, and he's done it! He's in the Chamber of the Sun! He's got the lost Cuneiform Stone Tablet! All the doors are open! Through the Snake Pit, moving pretty fast, there! Now through the Room of Panels, and back through the Pit! He's got to climb through the Cave of Sighs, and Buhdeuce has made it out with 20 seconds to spare! Buhdeuce, you've won the reward to Death Valley, and Barstow, California! With the exception of Wally and Future Rube, you can take anybody!" Buhdeuce says: "Is it all right if I take Chameleon?" Chameleon gasps, and he says: "Dudley, do you mind?" Dudley says: "Of course not! I WANT you to enjoy yourself! We don't have to do EVERYTHING together!" Chameleon says: "Thank you, Dudley!" Sniz says: "Very well, than! Buhdeuce and Chameleon, you two enjoy yourselves! As for Wally and Future Rube, it's time to send them off on the Mine Cart of Shame!" (Confessional) Wally says: "I'm not upset. All in all, I had a good run." / Future Rube says: "I certainly did a lot better than I ever THOUGHT I could! Not BAD for a first timer!" / Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "It's going to feel a little weird only having the INFANT version of my son around! I mean, I KNOW he's going to BECOME Adult Rube EVENTUALLY; but still...it's the waiting AROUND for 20 years that will be the HARD part!" / Spongebob sighs, and he says: "So now, it's down to just Bubble Bass and me. Up until now, it's been the EASY part of the game! Now, comes the REALLY tricky part; dealing with the MERGED portion of the game!" / Buhdeuce says: "Well, I'm heading into uncharted territories; metaphorically speaking. I've never GOTTEN to the MERGED portion of this game before! It will be a little scary, but also kind of exciting; to see just how FAR my skills will take me!" / Marlene air-fist pumps, and she says: "Yes! I made it to the team merge AGAIN! It might have taken me a while to pick up speed, but now the Final Three is within my sight! And THIS time, I don't plan on tripping up a THIRD time!" / Yakkity says: "I was a little worried when Bulma got eliminated. I thought for SURE I lost my best chance at the team merge! But against all odds, I managed to survive the past few challenges all on my OWN merits! I have a chance to become a TRUE legend! Grandma, your Yakkity is going to make you proud! I mean, I already have by being HER grandson! I mean...she knows what I mean!" / Po says: "This is the first time I've ever made the team merge WITHOUT Tigress! Even though this hasn't been easy for me, I STILL got to persevere for HER sake as well, and try my best to make it as far as I possibly can! Hopefully, I'll also impress Taotie while I'm at it!" / Dudley says: "Well, I've officially made it further than I did in season three! I don't know what's going to happen now, but I know that Chameleon and I will face the remaining challenges together the same as we always have!" / Chameleon says: "Dudley and I have six other contestants to compete against! It will be hard without a team, but we'll do our best to persevere for as long as we can!" (End Confessional) It is night-time! All of the contestants except Wally and Future Rube, have received a chocolate Pendant of Life! Bubble Bass hugs Wally and Future Rube. Bubble Bass says: "Thank you SO much for coming back to help ME become a better father, son! I appreciate what you've done for me, in more ways than I know how to express!" Future Rube says: "Trust me; with the ways that you'll eventually help ME out in life, this is just a SMALL token of MY appreciation for you!" Bubble Bass says: "Wally, when you eventually see Future Rube again; you make sure to take good care of him, okay?" Wally says: "Absolutely! Admiral Wally, his SMARTNESS, will not let you down!" Wally and Future Rube put their helmets on, and get themselves strapped into the Mine Cart of Shame! Sniz says: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!" And Wally and Future Rube rocket down the mine rails, and through the Mine Shaft of Losers! Sniz says: "And than there were eight! Spongebob, Marlene, Buhdeuce, Po, Dudley, Chameleon, Bubble Bass, and Yakkity Yak! Four Green Monkeys and four Red Jaguars are entering the team merge, but they will all exit as their OWN contestants! The team challenges may be over, but the game is NOT over yet! Stay tuned, and find out who emerges triumphant, in the next exciting challenge, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where our legends, TRULY stand the test of time!" / Stinger: Buhdeuce and Chameleon take a look around Barstow, trying to find something interesting, before eventually settling on eating at a Jack In the Box! Chameleon says: "Well, from what I personally saw on season three, Barstow has DEFINITELY been built up a little bit since Marlene has been here; but I personally don't see much in the way of fun!" Buhdeuce says: "I heard that there USED to be a Water Park not too far from here; but the COVID Pandemic pretty much brought an end to THEIR business, such as it was!" Chameleon says: "At least TUFF has figured out a way to survive these trying times! We've become pretty SKILLED at solving mysteries remotely! It's our way of keeping safe, and STILL getting paid!" Than who of ALL characters EXCEPT Gordon Quid should appear, and he says: "And guess who's getting paid to SERVE you?!" Buhdeuce says: "Gordon Quid?! We've REALLY got to STOP meeting like this!" Buhdeuce sighs, and says: "Look! I only have ONE solid joke on this show! Now, it is a STUPID and over-used joke, but I'M going to use it!" Chameleon says: "Of course, if Gordon Quid is now the Manager of THIS restaurant; than I'm pretty sure THAT means--." (CRASH!!!!) And who should break THROUGH a wall of the restaurant, except Wally, and Future Rube?! Gordon Quid yells: "COME ON!!!! One time? OKAY! Two times? FINE!!!! But WHY has this happened to ME a whole THREE times?!" Future Rube says: "Come on! Even I can't predict the future, and I actually COME from there!" Wally says: "Besides, if it's ANY consolation; Admiral Wally, his SMARTNESS, and his friends; will all work together to FIX the broken wall of your restaurant!" Buhdeuce says: "Chameleon, you think your relatives will be willing to help us out?!" Chameleon says: "I have the feeling that they've been waiting for an opportunity as exciting like this for LONGER than YOU'VE been a Breadwinner!" / Episode Notes: Final Team Challenge of this half-season, and the second Automatic Elimination.

Yakkity Yak, Green Monkeys. / Personal Notes: Even though I felt like I wrote Wally pretty good during season three, I do feel like I didn't give him that much to do, except for being friends to Marlene and Captain Retro. Not to mention, he didn't really go through that much angst and personal growth until near the end of his time as a contestant. I felt like having Wally develop, and eventually grow into an honest relationship with Future Rube, would not only help Wally become a much more compelling character, it would give them BOTH a reason to get through these challenges together! And the reason I introduced Future Rube, is to help Bubble Bass learn and grow, in order to become a better father! Once I took the character arc's of Wally and Future Rube as far as they could go, it was time for them to move on from the competition, which is why they ended up leaving this time! It will be interesting to see what happens during the merged portion of this competition! I hope you enjoyed reading this episode, as much as I did writing it! Enough said, true believers!

On the one hand, I'm GLAD that the structure of "Legends of The Hidden Temple" helps me get my mind easily set for writing my episodes of "Total Cartoon Legends". But MAN!!!! It is NOT easy to make the episodes sound DIFFERENT from each other! In any case, here's the second and final part of "The Legend Of The Lost Code of Hammurabi!" / After the commercials end, the contestants are beginning to gather at The Steps of Knowledge. Marlene asks: "Yakkity, which side do you think is my BETTER looking side?" Yakkity looks at BOTH her left and her right side, and he says: "I honestly DON'T know! They book look EXACTLY the same to me! Why do you even WANT to know?" Marlene says: "Well, in case I actually WIN; I want to be PHOTOGRAPHED with MY best looking side as much as possible! Maybe I should photograph BOTH sides, and me facing forward, just for the sake of having complete coverage!" Po turns to Buhdeuce, and Po says: "Buhdeuce, in case you were wondering just WHY I loved Tigress enough to marry her, the fact that she DOESN'T obsess over which side is her best side, is just ONE of the many reasons why!" Buhdeuce says: "As far as I'm concerned, the fact that you even FOUND one reason is impressive to ME!" Po says: "Just don't let TIGRESS hear YOU saying that!" Buhdeuce says: "Fair enough!" Bubble Bass turns to Spongebob, and Bubble Bass asks: "Spongebob, you're not worried about TODAY'S challenge, are you?" Spongebob says: "Not really! I mean, it is an AUTOMATIC elimination this time, so I have no control over who is leaving or not! I'm just wondering if YOU'LL be all right if Future Rube has to leave!" Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "Well, I never expected that a future version of MY son would come from the future to be here in the first place. But, in a weird way, I've learned a lot from him. And...I thought that because I had learned so much from him, that he actually KNEW more than me! It...would be kind of awkward for me, if I happen to do better than him NOW, right before the Team Merge! I wish I knew if there was anything I could do or say, to find out if I what I THINK that I WANT to do, is the right thing to do for Rube!" Dudley says: "Well, you can take comfort in the fact that you're HARDLY the only one who's ever wondered about that, at some point in their lives! It took me a LONG time, just to figure out how to act around Kitty!" Chameleon says: "Kind of the same way it took HER a long time, to figure out how to act around ME!" Wally says: "Well, I think the BIGGEST reason that we've all gotten as FAR as we have, is because we HAVE all taken the time to take all the lessons we've HAD to learn this season, to heart! We've learned from our mistakes! And regardless of what happens, I feel like even IF I have to leave after this challenge, I can leave knowing that I gave it my best effort!" Future Rube says: "And dad, I honestly had NO intentions of trying to win this season! The only reason I came back to this time, is because I felt it was the RIGHT thing to do! Well, THAT; and to ensure a Stable Time Loop!" Bubble Bass says: "Fair enough!" Sniz says: "Okay, contestants! That's enough chatting! It's time to get onto the Steps of Knowledge! I ASSUME everyone wants to stick with the partners that they already have!" Yakkity says: "Well, I'm pretty sure that the saying GOES; if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Bubble Bass asks: "Is 'Ain't' even considered proper ENGLISH anymore?!" Marlene says: "Who CARES?! You UNDERSTAND what he means!" Sniz says: "Precisely! And seeing as I have no takers for switching, we'll stay with the groups we have! Now, we have FIVE groups of two, but only EIGHT contestants can go down the Steps of Knowledge! One group of Green Monkeys will have to sit this challenge out." Future Rube says: "I think it's best if I sit this one out. Since I'm from the future, I don't know if I know any knowledge that Olmec hasn't found out yet!" Spongebob asks: "Rube! Are you SURE about that?!" Future Rube says: "Spongebob, you've come a LONG way since the beginning of this season, but you still NEED to accept the fact that OTHERS have wants and needs of their own. And sometimes, maybe THEIR wants and needs aren't the same as yours! And that's usually completely FINE! As long as you're not hurting anybody or oppressing them, everyone should have the freedom to have their own desires!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "You're right! That...is one of the issues that I've had trouble dealing with. But...if it IS your decision, I accept it!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "That doesn't necessarily mean that it's easy for me to DO so!" / Bubble Bass says: "The truth is, I think I needed to learn THAT lesson to! I mean, Future Rube IS my son! But that doesn't mean he's exactly like me, and that's perfectly fine! I just want him to be happy with his OWN decisions!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Okay! Well, hopefully Wally and Future Rube will be able to catch up in the refurbished Challenge Arena! As for everyone else, it's time to find out about Hammurabi's Code!" Olmec says: "Around 1810 B.C.E., a man known to historians simply as Hammurabi, was born into the First Babylonian dynasty of the Amorite Tribe! The Babylonians gained prominence, due to the fact, that many of their own, were of the literate class! Although Hammurabi was actually the SIXTH King of the dynasty, he is arguably one of the better known ones! This is due to the fact, that during the reign of Hammurabi, which lasted from about 1792 B.C.E., to 1750 B.C.E., Hammurabi managed to bring nearly the entire region of Mesopotamia, under his rule by 1763 B.C.E.! Unfortunately, not much is known about Hammurabi's early life, due to the fact that he grew up during peaceful times. What is known, is that sometime around 1790 B.C.E., Hammurabi claimed to receive a vision, from the Mesopotamian Sun God Shamash, a code of 282 laws; that would collectively be known as The Code of Hammurabi. While this code, was by no means the first rule of laws ever written; it is significant, as it was the first REAL prototype, for many of the modern laws used by many nations today! While some of the laws are harsh by today's standards, they set a precedent. While previous codes of laws would only compensate the victim of a crime if they lost something; the Code of Hammurabi detailed on 12 Cuneiform Stone tablets, the details of what crimes were against the law, and the punishment a person would receive for committing such a crime! It was also the first code of laws, that a person would always be presumed innocent, unless proven guilty. Because Hammurabi brought unity and stability to ancient Mesopotamia, he eventually began to be viewed as the equivalent of a God within his own life-time. Even after his death at the age of 60, from currently unknown causes, he was still revered as a great conqueror. While most of Hammurabi's Code of Laws was eventually rediscovered in modern day Iran in 1901, with a copy now residing in the Louvre, a tablet of the Code of Hammurabi was lost to the mists of time, until it found it's way to the Temple. Your job, is to retrieve the Cuneiform Stone tablet, of the Code of Hammurabi, and bring it back here!" Sniz says: "Thanks, Olmec! Where can the Cuneiform Stone tablet, of the Code of Hammurabi be found?" Olmec says: "The lost Cuneiform Stone Tablet, can be found in the Chamber of the Sun!" Sniz says: "All right! You guys know the drill! Each correct answer will net you ten points, and the first group down will receive a Pendant of Life! Olmec, take it away!" Olmec asks: "True or false; as far as historians know, Hammurabi IS his only known name?" Yakkity rings in, and Marlene says: "True!" Olmec says: "That is correct! And Yakkity and Marlene move down a step! Marlene says: "Wow, Yakkity! You're quite the HUSTLER for a yak!...Uh, THAT came out wrong!" Olmec asks: "What is the estimated birth date for Hammurabi?" Chameleon rings in, and Dudley says: "1810 B.C.E.!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Dudley and Chameleon move down a step! Dudley says: "All right! We are ONE step closer to a Temple Run!" Chameleon says: "I am SO excited!" Olmec asks: "What tribe was Hammurabi born into?" Spongebob rings in, and Bubble Bass answers: "The Amorite Tribe of the first Babylonian Dynasty!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "We definitely compliment our skills together WELL in THIS challenge!" Spongebob says: "I'm a little CONFUSED by that statement, but I'm pretty sure that it's a GOOD thing!" Olmec asks: "Hammurabi became WHICH numbered King, of the First Babylonian Dynasty?" Buhdeuce rings in, and Po answers: "The SIXTH King!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Buhdeuce and Po move down a step! Marlene says: "Po and Buhdeuce are now AHEAD of us in points! We need to step up our game!" Yakkity says: "No kidding!" Olmec asks: "How long did Hammurabi's reign last?" Yakkity rings in, and Marlene answers: "From 1792 B.C.E., to 1750 B.C.E.!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Marlene and Yakkity move down a step! Wally says: "All things considered, I'm not sure who I want to WIN the Steps of Knowledge!" Future Rube says: "I know I'm a little biased, but I REALLY want my DAD to win this challenge!" Wally says: "That's understandable!" Olmec asks: "How many laws, did the Code of Hammurabi have?" Spongebob rings in, and Bubble Bass answers: "282 laws on 12 Cuneiform Stone Tablets!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "And to THINK, it won't be long before Spongebob Squarepants has 282 EPISODES, one episode for EACH of those laws!" Olmec asks: "Which God did Hammurabi claim to receive his code of laws from?" Buhdeuce rings in, and Po answers: "The Mesopotamian Sun God, Shamash!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Po and Buhdeuce move down a step! Wally says: "This is DEFINITELY one of the closer Steps of Knowledge challenge that I've seen in quite a while!" Future Rube says: "Quite understandable! I mean, I figure we MUST be pretty smart if we've made it THIS far!" Olmec asks: "When did Hammurabi bring nearly the entire region of Mesopotamia, under his control?" Chameleon rings in, and Dudley answers: "1763 B.C.E.!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" Sniz says: "All right! This question is FOR the Pendant!" Olmec asks: "True or False; The Code of Hammurabi was one of the FIRST code of laws, that presumed a person was innocent until proven guilty?" Buhdeuce rings in and answers: "True!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Po and Buhdeuce move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "The Red Jaguars did it! They receive a Pendant of Life! Everything is tied up 1 to 1! That means we now move to the Challenge Arena to figure out who gets the Final Pendant! But first, let's tally up our scores! Po and Buhdeuce are first with 60 points, Spongebob and Bubble Bass are second with 45 points, Marlene and Yakkity are third with 40 points, Dudley and Chameleon are fourth with 35 points, and Wally and Future Rube are still in fifth with just 10 points! Hopefully, they'll be able to turn their luck around during the Challenge Arena!" Marlene looks to Yakkity, and she asks: "Yakkity, would YOU have ever guessed that Buhdeuce could be THIS good?!" Yakkity says: "Don't ask ME! How would I know?! For all intents and purposes, we're in the same BOAT together!" Marlene says: "Good thing we BOTH know how to SWIM!" (Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "One of the things that was HARDEST about being on my show, was having to hold BACK my true level of intelligence, for the sake of my show! But now that I don't have to WORRY about staying to the standards of JUST my show, I can finally show EVERYONE just how smart and capable I am!" / Po says: "I NEVER thought I would say this, but I think I've finally FOUND another challenger, who might be able to handle my FULL amount of physical prowess, the way Tigress can! It will be interesting to see what Buhdeuce can do, once we HAVE to go head to head against each other!" / Marlene says: "Buhdeuce DEFINITELY needs to get a better agent, if he was THAT competent and capable of handling himself all ALONG! Just so long as it's not MY agent!" / Yakkity says: "While I've always fashioned myself as my OWN agent, I probably WOULD be able to discover MORE potential offers, if I found an ACTUAL agent of my own!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Okay! It's time to reveal what the plan for the Challenge Arena is! Hammurabi's reign lasted for 42 years! And during his reign, one of the things that the Babylonians were known for, is building Ziggurats! Therefore, your challenge, is that each group is to build up to five Ziggurats, EACH with seven levels of building; to total up to 42 levels, one for each year of Hammurabi's reign! Each level you complete will equal one point! And by the end of this challenge, the group that has the most points, will get to go on a Temple Run! Not only that, they will be competing for a reward! Johnny Krill, tell our challengers what the Reward is THIS time!" Johnny Krill says: "Well, our sponsors WOULDN'T okay a trip into the Middle East, but we've got what is probably the NEXT best thing! A trip into beautiful Death Valley, California! To see the late summer flowers bloom, with an all expenses paid trip to Barstow, California to cap it all off! Barstow, California; where the number one thing MOST people want to do when they get there, is to figure out how to get the HECK out of there!" Marlene says: "They expect ME; to work MY tail off just to visit some city that I've ALREADY seen back in season three of this show?! HARD PASS!!!!" Yakkity says: "Come on! I've never been there! We could at LEAST try to win it!" Marlene sighs, and she says: "Okay! I'll try to win it, but only because YOU'VE never been there!" (Confessional) Marlene says: "The things I do, to endear myself to potential friends!" / Yakkity says: "From Marlene's perspective, it HAS been over two years since she has LAST been there! For all SHE knows, Barstow might be a happening place, now!" (End Confessional) Future Rube asks: "Wally, have YOU ever built a Ziggurat before?" Wally says: "No! As a matter of fact, I never even HEARD of such a building until this very EPISODE!" Future Rube says: "Well, it doesn't matter! Let's just try to do our best! You're not REALLY worried about this challenge, right?" Wally says: "No, of course not! Besides, as long as I get to have fun with you, that's the most important thing!" (Confessional) Wally says: "I always get a lot of satisfaction out of having as much fun with my friends, when I'm able to be with them. I think THAT'S the reason why a good number of former contestants like me so much! It's because I'm loyal to those who EARN my loyalty, and I try to be as honest as I possibly can, in any and ALL of my endeavors!" / Future Rube says: "Even though I won't be able to SEE this season for 20 years, I still feel that this season is something I can be proud of, because I've learned how to be the BEST version of myself, thanks to Wally and my dad!" (End Confessional) Spongebob turns to Bubble Bass, and Spongebob says: "Bubble Bass, you're not REALLY interested into going to Death Valley, are you?!" Bubble Bass scoffs, and he says: "PLEASE! Death Valley is like the complete ANTITHESIS of the ocean! There's not enough sun-screen in the WORLD that could get me to JUST go there!" Spongebob says: "Me, neither! But we should STILL try to score some points so we don't end up dead last!" Bubble Bass says: "It's STRANGE when you want to do well, but not THAT well!" (Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "Seeing as how this is a challenge where I don't NEED to tackle it at full throttle, it would be a GOOD opportunity to see just how PHYSICAL and capable the OTHER challengers are; if for no other reason except to help Spongebob out!" / Spongebob says: "I heard that LONG ago, Death Valley, and other places that are now desert; were once either temperate forests or inland seas. It really makes one stop and think, just how much can change; when given enough time." (End Confessional) Po asks: "Buhdeuce, do you think we can win this challenge?" Buhdeuce says: "Po, building is ONE of my specialties! I mean, I HAVE helped Sway-Sway build AND maintain MILES of mine-cart rail tracks around Pondgea! I mean, building Ziggurat's might be a LITTLE different; but it's nothing I can't handle!" Po says: "Good! That's practically HALF of the battle won, right there!" Chameleon says: "It would be nice if WE could win, so I could go to Death Valley and visit some of my relatives!" Dudley says: "It won't be an EASY task! We'd have to finish building at LEAST 26 levels of Ziggurats, just to get ahead of Po and Buhdeuce; and there's no telling how much THEY'LL be able to build! Still, I'll help you win that reward if I possibly can!" Chameleon says: "Thank you, Dudley! You're the best!" Dudley says: "Well, I certainly TRY to be!" (Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "I have to be honest; even I'M amazed at just how competent and capable I've become! Now that I've come this far, I want to see if I can take it all the way! I think it would be AWESOME, if I could go back to Pondgea, as a TRUE legend!" / Dudley says: "Even if something is HARD to do, you should STILL try to make sure that you tackle any task that comes your way, as well as you possibly can! Besides, if I can win Chameleon something nice in the process; it would make my effort SO much more rewarding!" / Chameleon says: "That's one of the many things I LOVE about Dudley! Whatever is thrown his way, he ALWAYS tackles it with as much enthusiasm and energy as he possibly can!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "All right! Everyone is as ready as they possibly CAN be! And to make everyone feel as energetic as we possibly can, we'll be playing the Katrina and the Waves' hit song, 'Walking On Sunshine!' Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" / While most of the other contestants, ESPECIALLY Buhdeuce and Po, work really well at building Ziggurat levels, Wally and Future Rube keep faltering due to not having the first CLUE as to how to put even a MOCK Ziggurat together! / Katrina And The Waves sing: "Ow! Mm, yeah! I used to think maybe you loved me; now, baby, I'm sure! And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door! Now every time I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down! 'Cause I just can't wait till you write me, you're coming around! And I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! And don't it feel good! Hey, all right now! And don't it feel good! Hey, yeah! I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it's true! And I don't want to spend my whole life just a-waiting for you! Now, I don't want you back for the weekend; not back for a day! No, no, no! I said; 'Baby, I just want you back, and I want you to stay'! Oh yeah; now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! And don't it feel good! Hey, all right now! And don't it feel good! Yeah; oh yeah, now! And don't it feel good! (Musical Break) Walking on sunshine! Walking on sunshine! I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that's really real! I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that's really real! I'm on sunshine baby, oh! Oh yeah, I'm on sunshine baby! Oh, I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! And don't it feel good! Hey, all right now! And don't it feel good! I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll say it again now! And don't it feel good! Hey, yeah now! And don't it feel good! Now don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it; and don't it feel good! I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll say it again now! And don't it feel good! Now don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it; and don't it feel good! Now tell me, tell me, tell me again now; and don't it feel good! Oh yeah, now! And don't it feel good! Oh don't it feel good, don't it feel good! Now, don't it feel good! Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah! And don't it feel good! Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah!" / And the song ends as the challenge ends! Sniz says: "The challenge is over! It's time to reveal how many Ziggurat levels each group managed to build! Spongebob and Bubble Bass built 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32 levels; so they now both have 77 points. Marlene and Yakkity built 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 37 levels; so they now both have 77 points. Dudley and Chameleon built 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 29 levels; so they now both have 64 points. Wally and Future Rube built 1, 2, 4, 6 levels; so they now both have 16 points. Po and Buhdeuce built 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 levels; so they now BOTH have 100 points! Po and Buhdeuce win a Pendant of Life, which means the Red Jaguars are going to the Temple! Wally and Future Rube, I'm very sorry; but since you both only scored 16 points, you will face the Mine Cart of Shame once the Temple Run is completed! For now, it's time to find out which order you will tackle the Temple in!" Po says: "I'll go first!" Sniz says: "Which means Buhdeuce will go second! Now listen closely, as Map's visual information will fill in, as Olmec reveals the way to get through the Temple!" Map says: "I'm on it!" / And Map's visual information fills in, as Olmec explains the Temple layout! / Olmec says: "First, you will pass through the Mummy's Crypt! Pull on the right book, but beware of a Temple Guard! Next, go onto the Ledge! Knock over the Column, and climb up into the Buddha's Temple! Light up the correct statue of Buddha, and climb down into Medusa's Lair! Place the snakes into Medusa's hair, than head into the Arid Desert! Fill up the Cactus with enough water, and head into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! Assemble the Monkey in the correct order, and head into the Room of Tones! Find the right note within the room, that will allow you to slide down, into the Murky Bog! Break down the Stone Wall, and head into the Chamber of the Sun, where you can find the Lost Cuneiform Stone tablet, of the Code of Hammurabi! Spin the sun display until it shines, than head into the Snake Pit! Manuever your way through the maze, than head into the Room of Panels! Make sure all the panels surrounding the ladder match each other; than, head back through the Pit! Climb through the Cave of Sighs, and back to the Temple Entrance! The choices are yours, and yours alone! Good luck!" Sniz says: "All right! Remember, if you complete the Temple Run in three minutes; you'll get to go on the trip to Death Valley and Barstow, California! Olmec, lower the steel gate!" Olmec groans as he lowers the steel gate! Sniz says: "Po, get ready, and let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!" / And Po takes off, and Sniz narrates the action as he goes along! / Sniz says: "Po enters the Mummy's Crypt, and a Temple Guard right off the bat! He gives up his pendant, and he's found the right tablet! Onto the ledge where...Po is clapping loudly! He's knocked down the column with his sound vibrations! Very clever! Now he climbs up into Buddha's Temple! He's got to light up the right statue, and he's found it! Down he climbs into Medusa's Lair! Another Temple Guard! Go, Buhdeuce, go! He's making up good time as he goes through the Mummy's Crypt! Across the Ledge! Up into Buddha's Temple, and down into Medusa's Lair! He's got to put the snakes into her hair, and he's done it! Into the Arid Desert! He's got to fill up the cactus with enough water! And he's done it! Into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! It's Johnny Krill as a Temple Guard! Buhdeuce gives up his Pendant! Now Buhdeuce has got the base, he's got the stomach and the head; he's putting them together, and it connects! Into the Room of Tones! He's got to find the right note, and he's done it! Down he slides into the Murky Bog! He's got to break down the Stone Wall, and he's done it! He's in the Chamber of the Sun! He's got the lost Cuneiform Stone Tablet! All the doors are open! Through the Snake Pit, moving pretty fast, there! Now through the Room of Panels, and back through the Pit! He's got to climb through the Cave of Sighs, and Buhdeuce has made it out with 20 seconds to spare! Buhdeuce, you've won the reward to Death Valley, and Barstow, California! With the exception of Wally and Future Rube, you can take anybody!" Buhdeuce says: "Is it all right if I take Chameleon?" Chameleon gasps, and he says: "Dudley, do you mind?" Dudley says: "Of course not! I WANT you to enjoy yourself! We don't have to do EVERYTHING together!" Chameleon says: "Thank you, Dudley!" Sniz says: "Very well, than! Buhdeuce and Chameleon, you two enjoy yourselves! As for Wally and Future Rube, it's time to send them off on the Mine Cart of Shame!" (Confessional) Wally says: "I'm not upset. All in all, I had a good run." / Future Rube says: "I certainly did a lot better than I ever THOUGHT I could! Not BAD for a first timer!" / Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "It's going to feel a little weird only having the INFANT version of my son around! I mean, I KNOW he's going to BECOME Adult Rube EVENTUALLY; but still...it's the waiting AROUND for 20 years that will be the HARD part!" / Spongebob sighs, and he says: "So now, it's down to just Bubble Bass and me. Up until now, it's been the EASY part of the game! Now, comes the REALLY tricky part; dealing with the MERGED portion of the game!" / Buhdeuce says: "Well, I'm heading into uncharted territories; metaphorically speaking. I've never GOTTEN to the MERGED portion of this game before! It will be a little scary, but also kind of exciting; to see just how FAR my skills will take me!" / Marlene air-fist pumps, and she says: "Yes! I made it to the team merge AGAIN! It might have taken me a while to pick up speed, but now the Final Three is within my sight! And THIS time, I don't plan on tripping up a THIRD time!" / Yakkity says: "I was a little worried when Bulma got eliminated. I thought for SURE I lost my best chance at the team merge! But against all odds, I managed to survive the past few challenges all on my OWN merits! I have a chance to become a TRUE legend! Grandma, your Yakkity is going to make you proud! I mean, I already have by being HER grandson! I mean...she knows what I mean!" / Po says: "This is the first time I've ever made the team merge WITHOUT Tigress! Even though this hasn't been easy for me, I STILL got to persevere for HER sake as well, and try my best to make it as far as I possibly can! Hopefully, I'll also impress Taotie while I'm at it!" / Dudley says: "Well, I've officially made it further than I did in season three! I don't know what's going to happen now, but I know that Chameleon and I will face the remaining challenges together the same as we always have!" / Chameleon says: "Dudley and I have six other contestants to compete against! It will be hard without a team, but we'll do our best to persevere for as long as we can!" (End Confessional) It is night-time! All of the contestants except Wally and Future Rube, have received a chocolate Pendant of Life! Bubble Bass hugs Wally and Future Rube. Bubble Bass says: "Thank you SO much for coming back to help ME become a better father, son! I appreciate what you've done for me, in more ways than I know how to express!" Future Rube says: "Trust me; with the ways that you'll eventually help ME out in life, this is just a SMALL token of MY appreciation for you!" Bubble Bass says: "Wally, when you eventually see Future Rube again; you make sure to take good care of him, okay?" Wally says: "Absolutely! Admiral Wally, his SMARTNESS, will not let you down!" Wally and Future Rube put their helmets on, and get themselves strapped into the Mine Cart of Shame! Sniz says: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!" And Wally and Future Rube rocket down the mine rails, and through the Mine Shaft of Losers! Sniz says: "And than there were eight! Spongebob, Marlene, Buhdeuce, Po, Dudley, Chameleon, Bubble Bass, and Yakkity Yak! Four Green Monkeys and four Red Jaguars are entering the team merge, but they will all exit as their OWN contestants! The team challenges may be over, but the game is NOT over yet! Stay tuned, and find out who emerges triumphant, in the next exciting challenge, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where our legends, TRULY stand the test of time!" / Stinger: Buhdeuce and Chameleon take a look around Barstow, trying to find something interesting, before eventually settling on eating at a Jack In the Box! Chameleon says: "Well, from what I personally saw on season three, Barstow has DEFINITELY been built up a little bit since Marlene has been here; but I personally don't see much in the way of fun!" Buhdeuce says: "I heard that there USED to be a Water Park not too far from here; but the COVID Pandemic pretty much brought an end to THEIR business, such as it was!" Chameleon says: "At least TUFF has figured out a way to survive these trying times! We've become pretty SKILLED at solving mysteries remotely! It's our way of keeping safe, and STILL getting paid!" Than who of ALL characters EXCEPT Gordon Quid should appear, and he says: "And guess who's getting paid to SERVE you?!" Buhdeuce says: "Gordon Quid?! We've REALLY got to STOP meeting like this!" Buhdeuce sighs, and says: "Look! I only have ONE solid joke on this show! Now, it is a STUPID and over-used joke, but I'M going to use it!" Chameleon says: "Of course, if Gordon Quid is now the Manager of THIS restaurant; than I'm pretty sure THAT means--." (CRASH!!!!) And who should break THROUGH a wall of the restaurant, except Wally, and Future Rube?! Gordon Quid yells: "COME ON!!!! One time? OKAY! Two times? FINE!!!! But WHY has this happened to ME a whole THREE times?!" Future Rube says: "Come on! Even I can't predict the future, and I actually COME from there!" Wally says: "Besides, if it's ANY consolation; Admiral Wally, his SMARTNESS, and his friends; will all work together to FIX the broken wall of your restaurant!" Buhdeuce says: "Chameleon, you think your relatives will be willing to help us out?!" Chameleon says: "I have the feeling that they've been waiting for an opportunity as exciting like this for LONGER than YOU'VE been a Breadwinner!" / Episode Notes: Final Team Challenge of this half-season, and the second Automatic Elimination.

Yakkity Yak, Green Monkeys. / Personal Notes: Even though I felt like I wrote Wally pretty good during season three, I do feel like I didn't give him that much to do, except for being friends to Marlene and Captain Retro. Not to mention, he didn't really go through that much angst and personal growth until near the end of his time as a contestant. I felt like having Wally develop, and eventually grow into an honest relationship with Future Rube, would not only help Wally become a much more compelling character, it would give them BOTH a reason to get through these challenges together! And the reason I introduced Future Rube, is to help Bubble Bass learn and grow, in order to become a better father! Once I took the character arc's of Wally and Future Rube as far as they could go, it was time for them to move on from the competition, which is why they ended up leaving this time! It will be interesting to see what happens during the merged portion of this competition! I hope you enjoyed reading this episode, as much as I did writing it! Enough said, true believers!

I'll try Sandy's pillow!

I MUST be a star; how else could I be awake THIS late?!

It REALLY boggles my mind as to HOW both Disney and Warner Bros. can POSSIBLY think that all they need to do is to MAKE a show, and people will come and watch it! Making a new show does NOTHING if you don't PROPERLY advertise it! Or WORSE; advertise only ONE horrible show to the detriment of ALL others! It doesn't matter how OFTEN you advertise and/or SHOW a HORRIBLE show, it will still ALWAYS be a horrible show! At least THIS show was interesting, even if the names of the puppies and the Dalmatian parents aren't the same as the animated movie of "101 Dalmatians". I've enjoyed the episodes I have seen, and I'll probably catch the rest on Disney Plus when I have the time. Enough said, true believers!

For the last team challenge of this season, we're going way, WAY back in time for this one! See what legend Sniz and the crew has in mind for us THIS time! / Sniz is standing in front of the NEWLY refurbished Temple, and he says: "Last time, on Total Cartoon Legends, we were down to a DOZEN contestants, vying to win up to $44.44 million in cold, hard cash! Larry, decided that he HAD enough of Sandy NOT keeping the Red Jaguars safe from elimination, and attempted to stage a COUP to take the leadership away from her! BAD idea, Larry! And NOT just for the OBVIOUS reasons! Sandy decided, that she wasn't going to LET Larry humiliate Spongebob in the competition, and a FIGHT broke out! It would've been a LOT more funny, if Sandy and Larry didn't TRASH half of the Challenge Arena, and Olmec's Temple in the process! I had to FIRE six of the panelists, in order to PAY for all the damages, as well as install a new, steel gate, to the entrance of Olmec's Temple! Anyways, because they inflicted all that property damage; Sandy and Larry each received four penalty votes, which ended up costing them a chance at winning $44.44 million dollars, when they BOTH got eliminated at the Elimination Ceremony! Now, we are down to ten contestants, and it's time for the FINAL team challenge, and the FINAL Double Elimination of this half-season! Which two contestants will take a ride together THIS time? Which ancient legend will we unearth and discover within Olmec's Temple? And, will I EVER get tired of FIRING Cosmo for every stupid thing he does?! I highly DOUBT that last one, but for all other questions, stay tuned to find out the answers on today's episode, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where historic stories, can always be found within!" / Instead of the normal show open, it shows the remaining contestants, dressed in the garb of archeologists, and carrying their gear, as they do an excavation of the ancient area of Mesopotamia, as The Real Breadwinners sing THEIR version of The B-52's hit song, "Mesopotamia"! / Monster sings: "Turn your watch, turn your watch back; about a whole four thousand years. A whole four thousand years. I'll meet you by the third Ziggurat, I'll meet you by the third Ziggurat. Oh come on, that's what I want; we'll meet in Mesopotamia. Oh, oh, oh!" Heffer and Sway-Sway sing: "I ain't no student, (Feel those vibrations) of ancient culture! (I know a neat excavation)! Before I talk, I should read a book! But there's one thing I do know, there's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia!" Heffer sings: "It was a whole four thousand years ago, they laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! It was a whole four thousand years ago, they laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa!" Sway-Sway sings: "I'll meet you by the third Ziggurat. I'll meet you by the third Ziggurat. Oh come on, that's what I want; we'll meet in Mesopotamia. Oh, oh, oh!" Heffer and Monster sing: "Now I ain't no student, (Feel those vibrations) of ancient culture! (I know a neat excavation)! Before I talk, I should read a book! (Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go)! But there's one thing that I do know, (Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go)! There's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia!" Heffer sings: "It was a whole four thousand years ago they laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! It was a whole four thousand years ago, they laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! In Mesopotamia! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! They laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! In Mesopotamia! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa!" / And the epic song and montage ends! / "The Legend Of The Lost Code of Hammurabi!" / It is night-time, and the scene opens up in the hotel room of Wally and Future Adult Rube Goldfish. They're playing checkers together, but they're CLEARLY not in a competitive mode, and are just playing for fun! Future Rube says: "Wally, we might have been through some tough times in these challenges together, but I feel that having gone through them with you, it's made this experience much better, than I ever thought it could be!" Wally asks: "Don't they have experiences like THIS in your time?!" Future Rube says: "Well...that's something I'm not sure I should say. Besides, it won't be relevant to YOU for another 20 years anyways!" Wally says: "Fair enough!" Future Rube sighs, and says: "As much as it pains me to say this, I have a feeling that we might be coming up to our LAST team challenge together! I'm not sure what's going to happen to the unity that everyone has established together! All I know is, I simply CAN'T endure the thought, of having to go through a challenge without you." Wally says: "Rube, you're a good man, and a REALLY good contestant! I mean, you have magic, and despite that; you've never used it ONCE while you have been a contestant! I'm not sure a lot of contestants, if they were in YOUR position; would've shown such self-restraint! Even Captain Retro had trouble figuring out when was the BEST time to use his abilities!" Future Rube says: "Well, I'm sure that's probably the reason WHY Captain Retro became a contestant when he did. He needed to figure THAT tricky problem out! And the fact that he didn't KNOW how to be humble, or let other contestants figure out problems on their own initially; is no indication that he wasn't smart, he simply didn't know HOW to be humble until he learned THAT lesson for himself! I mean, this might be a somewhat EXTREME example; but WE'RE learning how to be better, by discovering what is right for US!" Wally says: "You're probably right. But why would you THINK that this would be OUR last team challenge?" Future Rube sighs, and says: "I came back here, to spend time with my dad. And as I've found out, help HIM become the best version of himself. I feel like I've done all I can for my dad, here. Besides, I didn't START this challenge at the beginning, the way YOU did! It wouldn't be RIGHT for me to try to win this!" Wally sighs, and he says: "I guess I can understand that. I mean, you ALSO have to do; what you think is right for you!" Future Rube says: "When I get back to my time, only a few seconds will have passed from the perspective of my dad in the future. I know it won't be the same for you. Are you going to be all right without me?" Wally says: "Rube, the thought of someday being able to get back together with you, will power me through any and ALL of my adventures, until we meet again!" Future Rube sighs in relief, and he says: "Thank you! I certainly needed to hear that!" (Confessional) Future Rube says: "If there's one thing I've learned from my experience on this show, is that MOST people have something they're really WILLING to fight for! It might be what they personally believe in, or in my case; it's someone I truly love! But more important than finding someone that YOU really love, is making sure that THEY really love you in return! Otherwise; the whole thing really doesn't work! After all, relationships can only TRULY work, if BOTH partner's are equally committed to the endeavor! And from what I've seen Wally would be willing to travel to the known edge of the universe and back, just to be with me! Now THAT; is a REALLY awesome guy!" / Wally says: "Before I met Future Rube, I never really felt like I could truly be the most honest VERSION of myself; if only because I didn't really know WHO the most honest version of myself WAS! But after being together with him all this time, I learned that I don't HAVE to act like a naive fool, the way I did on my own show! I AM capable of being smart, competent, and a very capable monkey capable of handling challenges that are both physical and mental! Even though it will take me 20 years to get back together with him, I know that I'll be able to handle ANY challenge that comes my way in the meantime!" (End Confessional) The sun rises up, and the action focuses on the remaining Red Jaguars, in the hotel lobby room. Po says: "Red Jaguars, we are in a REALLY tricky situation right now!" Dudley says: "No kidding! Not only have we lost our LEADER, we lost our second-in-command, to! We are a team without leadership!" Buhdeuce says: "To be honest, I have conflicting emotions about this whole thing. On the one hand, even though I felt like Sandy and Larry didn't respect ME as a contestant; mostly due to what I HAD to do on MY show, I still wish I had been able to HONESTLY show them what I was capable of!" Chameleon says: "Well, TECHNICALLY; you still CAN show them what you're capable of, they just can't see it in person!" Buhdeuce says: "Good point!" Dudley says: "Regardless of how we feel, we still need a team leader for this team; even if we're only together for one more episode!" Po says: "Well, a team leader needs certain qualities! A team leader needs to be strong, smart, competent, capable, and have a high, moral character! I think under the circumstances, I think I'm the best candidate to be the new team leader!" Chameleon says: "I certainly can't argue with that! I wouldn't know HOW to!" Buhdeuce says: "And if YOU'RE the team leader, does that mean that you're going to listen to, and respect ALL of our opinions equally?!" Po says: "Of course! That's what being a GOOD leader is all about! Even if you don't AGREE with someone else's opinions; you should at LEAST listen to them! And if they are well-REASONED opinions based on FACTS, you should DEFINITELY respect them!" Buhdeuce says: "That's all the convincing that I need!" Dudley says: "And Po is DEFINITELY our best bet to help us through this last team challenge! So, congratulations Po! Our fate lies in your hands!" (Confessional) Dudley says: "The amazing thing about the TUFF agency, is that even though our Chief is only a cockroach, he's still a really tough, strong individual! There's practically NOTHING you can throw at him, that will slow him down! And he really let's everyone play to their own strengths! I think that's the reason why I'm able to work so well together with the rest of TUFF! It took me a while to catch up with everyone else, but I finally feel like I've mastered my OWN strengths, and can now use them when the right opportunities arise for me!" / Buhdeuce says: "When I started this season, I honestly never thought I could COME this far on my own! I always thought that I would need Sway-Sway to help me get through the TOUGH challenges! But after I beat Tigress, the possibilities of what I could do, really opened up for me! And now I've become a capable contestant in my own right! Don't get me wrong; I want to WORK with Sway-Sway for as long as I can! But at least, I now know that I can handle problems on my own; if that is what is required of me!" / Chameleon says: "Before Dudley gave me the chance to work with TUFF, I never really HAD a direction, or a sense of purpose! But my experience of working together with Dudley and all his friends, have made me realize that THOSE guys, like and respect me MORE, than Snaptrap and the OTHER recurring villains of Petropolis EVER did! I mean, they NEVER gave ME my own parking space and personalized locker! I'm just saying that little things, can add up to a lot; when they are done with LOVE!" / Po says: "Look, I was NEVER going to come out, and just ASSUME that team leadership would EVER be mine! Tigress TRIED that, and NOBODY ever really respected her for HER decisions! Of course, no one was EVER going to argue with HER strength, but that's BESIDES the point! I wanted to be a team leader, only if everyone else WANTED me to be a team leader! And even if this position doesn't require me to protect the Valley of Peace, I'm still going to do the best job that I can, of keeping my fellow team-mates safe!" (End Confessional) It is breakfast time, and everyone is in the cafeteria, eating breakfast! Yakkity looks to Marlene, and he asks: "Are you worried?" Marlene says: "About being the only female left in the competition? Of COURSE not! This isn't the FIRST time that I've been a party of one! Although, I am a little worried about how Spongebob will fare! I...have a feeling that something might have happened to Sandy and Larry!" Bubble Bass asks: "You sensed it TO?! I'm glad I wasn't the only one! I mean, this is probably going to be our LAST team challenge together! And going into the Merge, we'll need to be at the best condition we can possibly be in; in order for ANY of us to have the best chance at winning this game!" Future Rube says: "I just want to let you know something right now, Dad." Bubble Bass asks: "What's that?" Future Rube says: "Regardless of the outcome today, I just want to let you know that coming back in time, to spend more time with you; was an AMAZING experience, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!" Bubble Bass says: "Well...it's going to be a little WEIRD, for ME; to know what you will eventually grow UP to be, and not being able to tell you!" Future Rube sighs, and he says: "I...can certainly understand THAT feeling! I had my OWN issues I had to struggle with! But, if it's any consolation, I think we BOTH helped each other figure out the BEST versions of ourselves!" Wally says: "I certainly think so!" A gong rings, and Sniz's voice comes over the loud-speakers: "Attention Green Monkeys! Due to Penalty Votes, Sandy and Larry were eliminated at the last Elimination Ceremony! And everybody; today WILL be our last team challenge for this half-season, so let's end it on a high note! Please report to the Moat to find out about today's challenge! That is all!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Well, I can't pretend I didn't see THIS coming! I mean, I've been without Sandy BEFORE; but I was totally PREPARED for it in season three! But now; I've got to face it WITHOUT Larry to back me up! I'm in uncharted waters!" Future Rube says: "What are YOU worried about? You're a SPONGE! If anyone is equipped for uncharted waters, it's YOU!" Bubble Bass says: "And you don't need to worry about ANYTHING; Spongebob! I promised Sandy, that as long as I was here; that I would help you out in ANY way I could!" Spongebob's eyes brighten up, and he asks: "Do you REALLY mean that?!" Bubble Bass says: "Of course! It's the LEAST I can do for all the times you SELFLESSLY cooked Krabby Patties for me, even when I WASN'T being the most congenial!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Thank you, Bubble Bass. I really needed to hear that! You're REALLY the BEST naked fish that a sponge could hope to have for a PRESENT friend!" Bubble Bass says: "Unusual compliment; but since I haven't really gotten many, I'll take what I can get! Thank you, Spongebob!" (Confessional) Yakkity says: "Bravery and honesty, as displayed by Bubble Bass; is a rare and precious gift. It's something that's definitely not seen THAT often during competition's of this nature! I hope someday, such bravery and honesty will be rewarded as a VIRTUE; and that NOBODY will try to hide behind LIES and deceit! Because in the end, lies can only hurt YOURSELF in the long run; and that's the TRUTH!" / Spongebob says: "It always amazes me, how each of my season experiences in this show have been SO different from each other! That being said, I really feel that this season; I have NEVER been more competent than I am now! And...I learned that I am capable of being strong, of being smart; and also, that I've made mistakes. But, mistakes don't DEFINE who you are! It's the ability to LEARN from them, that TRULY makes all the difference in the world! Bubble Bass has DEFINITELY shown me, what can happen WHEN you learn from your mistakes, and make an honest effort to BECOME the best version of yourself! And, if I'm not the best version of myself YET; I feel like I definitely soon WILL be! Bubble Bass has SHOWN me what is possible! Now, it's my duty to live up to HIS example, the best way that I personally can!" (End Confessional) The contestants suit up into their team colors, and head for the Moat! Sniz says: "Welcome contestants, to the challenge most of you have been waiting for! You've beaten 36 other contestants so far, but those have all been team challenges! After today, you will all be on your own! And after eliminating two more contestants today, each contestant will have seven other contestants to compete against! This game is not over yet! It is still ANYONE'S game to win or lose! And to help us find out what kind of game we're going to play today; we'll be going to Olmec, who will tell us about today's legend!" Olmec says: "Today's Legend, is The Legend Of The Lost Code of Hammurabi!" Johnny Krill says: "THAT...is a PRETTY old legend!" General Barracuda chuckles, and he says: "It's even OLDER than Haggis McHaggis!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! Sniz says: "Hyperbole jokes about OLD people besides, it's time to reveal how you'll be getting across the Moat! In ancient Sumerian times, back in the old civilizations of Ur, Assyria, and Babylon; the way to travel across water, was by building a make-shift boat raft; out of bundled thrush reeds! However, seeing that only MARLENE has the skills to actually MAKE such a boat raft; we decided to MERCIFULLY cut out THAT part of the challenge, so that you only have to row the boat raft across the moat! Each team will row across in groups of two! And since EVERYONE will have to participate in this challenge, that actually GIVES the Red Jaguars an advantage; since they only have TWO groups to get across, instead of three! Oh, and one more thing! This challenge will be ANOTHER point accumulation challenge! The two contestants with the LOWEST total scores, unless they have an Immunity Pendant; than regardless of team standings, those two contestants WILL be automatically eliminated! So, no Elimination Ceremony! Do not pass go! Do not pass go, do not get the chance to collect up to $44.44 million dollars!" Marlene says: "Another automatic elimination!" Yakkity asks: "What are we going to do?" Wally turns to Future Rube, and Wally says: "Rube, we're in this together. For better, or worse. And if we lose, at least we'll lose together." Future Rube says: "I can live with that." Bubble Bass says: "Well, I was hoping to team up with my son; but I guess I'll have to team up with Spongebob!" Yakkity says: "Which means I get to team up with 'Funny Otter', herself!" Marlene asks: "Funny Otter?!" Yakkity says: "If they ever remake 'Funny Girl', and they cast it with YOU as the lead star, that should TOTALLY be the name of YOUR movie!" Marlene says: "I'm going to have to remember that!" Dudley says: "I'm teaming up with Chameleon!" Po says: "So by default, that means that I'm with Buhdeuce!" Sniz says: "Okay! Everybody has a partner! The first group to get across will receive 30 points, the second group to get across will receive 25 points, and so on to the last group to get across, will receive only 10 points. And to help EVERY group cross, we'll be playing Fleetwood Mac's hit song, 'Hold Me'!" Wally says: "Now THERE'S a song, I don't mind listening to!" Sniz says: "Everyone get into positions! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" / While every other group tries to go at their fastest to get to the other side of the Moat first, Wally and Future Rube seem more content with enjoying each other's company, and simply enjoying their boat ride. / Fleetwood Mac sings: "Can you understand me? Baby, don't you hand me a line. Although it doesn't matter, you and me got plenty of time! There's nobody in the future, so baby, let me hand you my love! There's no step for you to dance to, so slip your hand inside of my glove! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Me! I don't want no damage, but how'm I gonna manage with you? You hold the percentage, but I'm the fool payin' the dues! I live just around the corner, if you've got a minute to spare! I'll be waitin' for you, if you ever wanna be there! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Me! (Instrumental Break) Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me!" / And the song fades out as the challenge ends as Wally and Future Rube are the last group to finish crossing! / Sniz says: "Okay! The Moat Challenge is over! So, let's tally up the points! Po and Buhdeuce are first with 30 points, Spongebob and Bubble Bass are second with 25 points, Marlene and Yakkity are third with 20 points, Dudley and Chameleon are fourth with 15 points, and Wally and Future Rube are fifth with 10 points!" Bubble Bass asks: "Are you all right, son? I thought you'd be trying HARDER than this at THIS point of the game!" Future Rube says: "I'm fine, dad! I...guess I just really miss MY own time! And besides, the sooner I get back to MY time, the sooner I can be back together with Wally; even if it isn't SOON from his perspective!" Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "Well, I certainly understand it!" Sniz says: "Well, since the Green Monkeys scored five more points, they will receive a Pendant of Life that they will need for the Temple Run!" Marlene says: "Awesome! Yakkity, you are a REAL fine rower!" Yakkity says: "I'm also a REAL fine FUR grower, but that's BESIDES the point!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! Sniz says: "We've got to get everyone dried off! But don't go away, because we'll be right back with MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / I'll break here, and stop for now. Enough said, for now! /

It's time for the second, and final half of the re-run of the episode, "Performance Review: The Legend Of The Brains!" I hope you enjoy reading it, as much as I did writing it! / After the commercials end, the show opens up back on Norbert and Eliza in their host couches. Norbert says: "Welcome back to our Performance Review!" Eliza says: "Now, one of our next guests that we're going to be interviewing, displayed some RATHER impressive intellectual strategies!" Norbert says: "Which is ESPECIALLY impressive, considering that it's my brother DAGGETT that we're talking about!" Eliza: "So, it's to that end, The Real Breadwinners are now going to play the Jefferson Starship hit song, 'Stranger', to introduce him!" Kaput shakes his head, and he says: "SERIOUSLY?!" / A montage of all of Daggett's greatest moments, from his own show, and the "Total Cartoon" seasons, is played, as The Real Breadwinners perform their own version of Jefferson Starship's hit song, "Stranger"! / Sway-Sway sings: "Raindrops falling; summer feels so gloomy. Hear a knock upon my door! Stranger calling, eyes that look like mine! He said, 'You know I've called before!' What is veiled now, soon will be shown! Come walk with me through the unknown! Familiar stranger, should I know your name? Did we meet some time ago?! I feel uncertain, shadows whisper to me now! Sudden wind begins to blow! What is veiled now, soon will be shown! Come walk with me through the unknown; stranger! Darkened doorways, strangest things can happen! Don't know who you're talking to! Find yourself when lightning strikes you now! You could be looking back at you! What is veiled now, soon will be shown! Come walk with me through the unknown! What is veiled now, soon will be shown! Come walk with me through the unknown; stranger! Familiar stranger, should I know your name? Did we meet some time ago?! Are you someone I should know, did we meet some time ago? Did we meet some time ago?!" / And the epic montage and song ends! / Daggett walks onstage to thunderous applause, as Norbert hugs him! Pearl walks onstage, as she says: "Hey! What about ME?! I was eliminated in the same episode Daggett was!" Gerald scoffs, and he says: "Join the club! I was eliminated in the SAME episode Treeflower was, and I BARELY got Squiddly Diddly!" Norbert says: "Lucky for you, Pearl; I bear no ill will against you, MOSTLY since it WAS his fellow Purple Parrots' fault that HE got eliminated!" Daggett says: "THANK YOU! It's so nice to hear from MY own brother, that he acknowledges the fact that not every SINGLE misfortune that happens to me is MY fault!" Haggis says: "To be fair, I'm not SURE if Norbert EVER said that every single misfortune that happened to you, WAS your fault!" Gonard says: "And I don't think anyone ELSE here, ever said that either!" Eliza says: "In any case, I think we need to talk about the 'Incident' that brought your sudden winning streak to a screeching halt!" Daggett groans, and he says: "Do we HAVE to TALK about that?! It took me FOREVER just to make the SMELL of it go away; let alone, having to LIVE through it and be REMINDED of it!" Zarbon says: "HEY! I LITERALLY got CRUSHED by a whale who weighs like, 8,000 POUNDS, yet you don't hear ME constantly WHINING about it!" Darwin says: "That's NOT even 'Apples and Oranges'!" Zarbon says: "Irrelevant!" Norbert says: "Noted! Can we move on?" Dog says: "I don't know?!" (SPLAT!!!!) And Green Slime falls on him! Daggett yells: "THAT?!!! THAT'S what you decided to try to DUMP on me if I LIE?!!!" Norbert says: "I didn't decide it, Eliza did! She wanted to bring back some old-school humor to this show!" Daggett says: "Well, it's hard to get MORE old-school than, 'You Can't Do That On Television'!" Eliza says: "What can I say? I'm a fan of old-school!" Daggett groans, and he says: "Well, if we MUST talk about the 'Incident', I consider it the most HUMILIATING and DEGRADING experience of MY whole life!" Norbert says: "Come on! WORSE than the time you KEPT getting knocked BACK a week into the past?!" Daggett says: "ESPECIALLY worse than the time I kept getting knocked back a week into the past!" Super Chum says: "SHEESH! And I thought KYLE had problems!" Daggett says: "Don't get me wrong, I am GLAD that Bubble Bass went out of his way to save me; just don't expect me to go anywhere NEAR a beach where Fire Urchins live EVER again!" Eliza says: "Fair enough! In any case, how do you feel about the fact that Bulma's been eliminated?" Pearl asks: "Can I actually ANSWER this one?" Norbert says: "Of COURSE you can answer this one! We ENCOURAGE it!" Pearl says: "Well, I don't find it too surprising! While Bulma was smart, she didn't HAVE the necessary athletic streak to REALLY prevail in physical challenges the way I did! In fact, the only thing I DO find surprising, is the fact that Bulma managed to make herself STAY a relevant factor in the competition for as LONG as she did!" Daggett says: "You SAID it! And it serves Bulma RIGHT for her role in eliminating me! It didn't even DO much for her, except buy her ONE, lousy more episode!" Norbert says: "In any case, now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Daggett says: "Probably Marlene. She IS the closest to me, aquatic mammal wise!" Pearl says: "I have to go with Spongebob! Now that Sandy and Larry are ALSO out of the competition, he has the best chance for WINNING this season out of the remaining contestants!" Eliza says: "Thank you, you may take your seats!" Pearl WISELY takes a seat on the bottom, so as not to make the bleachers lop-sided, while Daggett takes a seat in the middle, above Tigress! Tigress asks: "Enjoying the VIEW, are we?!" Daggett says: "Well, SOMEBODY has to!" Pearl says: "BURN!!!!" Norbert says: "Now, the next pair of contestants is kind of hard to talk about; mostly because they were BOTH so smart, and we NEVER predicted that they would be here THIS soon!" Eliza says: "I mean, since we didn't PREPARE any questions for them in advance, we REALLY had to work HARD to get questions prepared for them!" Treeflower says: "And when she says 'We', she REALLY means WANDA!" Norbert says: "Semantics, Treeflower!" Eliza says: "Thank you! Moving on, it's time we introduced Bulma, and Keswick!" And Bulma and Keswick walk on-stage, to scattered applause. Keswick says: "Huh! I thought we would get a louder reception than that!" Bulma groans, and she says: "It's probably mostly MY fault! If I hadn't have been SO arrogant in season three, people might ACTUALLY be more willing to cheer for me!" Zarbon sarcastically says: "NO! REALLY, do you THINK?!" Norbert says: "IGNORE HIM!!!!" Eliza says: "Right! Time for relevant matters! We are here to discuss, just WHY you two got eliminated!" Keswick says: "Well, for STARTERS, I had to start off with the HANDICAP that I was in an ALLIANCE with Treeflower for the BETTER part of this half-season, so that was ALREADY a factor against MY favor!" Treeflower says: "COME ON!!!! Who in the WORLD thought that I was a DETRIMENT to Keswick's ability to get through the game?!" And to her astonishment, everyone ELSE on the stage EXCEPT for Norbert and Bulma, raises their hands! Bulma says: "I had no stake in the outcome, I just enjoyed WATCHING your dumpster fire of an exercise in futility, go up in flames!" Treeflower scoffs, and she says: "At least not ALL of you are total SELL-OUTS!" Sway-Sway scoffs, and he says: "PLEASE!!!! If I WANTED to 'Sell-out', I would've done what the creators of 'Teen Titans Go!' did, and CONSTANTLY scream my favorite source of FOOD into MY personal network's head, just so they would cave in and play only MY show for 15 hours a day!" Monster says: "You have to admit, Breadwinners NEVER did THAT!" Bulma says: "Agreed! And, if I didn't realize the FULL ramifications of what my actions caused on season three before, I do NOW! Your mistakes, especially BIG ones like mine, can REALLY linger with you LONG after you've committed them! But, I never thought they might cause even the only friend I ever genuinely MADE in the competition, to doubt my word! I couldn't BEAR to go through the agonizing process of what happened in season THREE again; so I HAD to willingly make a fool of myself, and vote myself off, so Yakkity would realize I was telling the truth!" Norbert says: "Right! That move REALLY caught everyone off guard!" Bulma says: "Well, I expected there to be contestants who WEREN'T going to believe me at all, but I never expected TEN whole contestants, INCLUDING Yakkity, to vote me off! And...I feel really sorry for any contestants remaining, if they feel guilty for committing THAT action! I mean, I'm not sure if I would've felt the same way, if my position had been switched with someone else." Eliza says: "You didn't have any problem trying to get rid of Aang and Dora!" Bulma says: "That was DIFFERENT! I could CLEARLY tell that even by MY standards, those two contestants would be no good to ANYBODY in the long run! I wasn't so much trying to get rid of them because I enjoyed it, I was merely trying to make the game SAFER for everyone else, INCLUDING myself!" Zarbon gasps, and he says: "So, Bulma CAN be altruistic! Who knew?!" Daggett says: "I don't know!" (SPLAT!!!!) And green slime falls on Daggett! Kaput says: "Yeah, that one got ME by surprise, to!" Bulma shudders, and she says: "I'm sure glad I learned MY lesson on season three! Hopefully, I hope that I have completely LEARNED from my mistakes once and for all, and that I've TRULY become a better person, who's a little more humble and WISER for the wear!" Keswick says: "And I learned, that if you PLAN on going onto a game show where athletic skills WILL be required, you SHOULD come prepared, and NOT try to learn your skills as you go along!" Norbert says: "Right! One last question. Now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Keswick says: "Either Dudley, or Chameleon." Bulma says: "It's got to be Marlene! I think she's the SMARTEST remaining contestant out of all of them!" Eliza says: "Thank you both, you may take your seats!" Keswick sits next to Kitty, and Bulma sits next to Zarbon! Bulma flirts, and says: "Be HONEST, Zarbon! You SO missed having ME around!" Zarbon, dead-pan, says: "I can LITERALLY think of ten OTHER people I'd rather have NEXT to me than you, and they AREN'T members of the Ginyu Force!" Bulma says: "WORTH a shot!" Norbert says: "Now, one of our NEXT contestants is someone that Tigress has been looking FORWARD to seeing!" Tigress says: "I'm pregnant, so you'll have to IMAGINE me doing a victory dance to celebrate the occasion!" Eliza says: "Still a snark knight, the same as ever! And the other contestant, is a fellow feline, who in spite of missing Ren; still did his best to last as long as he could in the competition." Norbert says: "Please give it up for Taotie and Stimpy!" And Taotie and Stimpy walk out to thunderous applause! Taotie says: "They LIKE me! They REALLY like me!" Stimpy says: "Hi, Haggis! How have YOU been feeling?!" Haggis says: "Pretty good! Thanks for asking!" Tigress yells: "Hey, Taotie! What stupid move did YOU pull to get yourself eliminated THIS time?!" Taotie scoffs, and he says: "Oh, wouldn't YOU like to know?!" Tigress scoffs, and she says: "Come on! We ALL know I'm just going to get slime on you, so you might as well save FIVE minutes of your life, and just SAY it!" Taotie says: "I'm NOT as predictable as you THINK I am! I am NOT going to say THOSE words!" Tigress asks: "WHAT words?!" Taotie groans, and he says: "I don't KNOW!" (SPLAT!!!!) And he gets covered with Green Slime! Tigress laughs, and she says: "Ha, ha, ha! I TOLD you he'd FALL for THAT!" Taotie groans as he towels himself off, and he says: "Very funny! Let's all LAUGH at the Warthog!" Stimpy sighs, and he says: "Come on, Tigress! Don't you EVER get tired of being demeaning towards Taotie?" Tigress says: "Tell you what; I'll STOP being demeaning to Taotie, ONCE it stops being funny!" (Confessional) Tigress says: "As in, NEVER!!!!" (End Confessional) Eliza says: "In any case, now that YOU two are here, we have personal witnesses, and an outside look, on the whole Bulma ordeal. Is there anything, in retrospect, that would've made you reconsider voting Bulma Briefs off?" Taotie says: "Well, certainly the fact that even AFTER 11 opportunities to do so, Bulma NEVER voted me off! Probably because I was actually useful AND sane, but that should go without SAYING!" Tigress scoffs, and she says: "YOU?! Useful and SANE?! Don't make ME laugh! Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Stimpy says: "Come on! I saw what he did after YOU left! Taotie REALLY composed himself, for the most part! I mean, he really ONLY slipped up when he let Bulma GOAD him into getting angry at Daggett, AND for voting Bulma off!" Taotie groans, and he says: "Oh, you had to bring THOSE two incidents up!" Stimpy says: "Hey! I was just as much of a part in that mistake as YOU were! Besides, the only reason WE even got eliminated, is that it just HAPPENED to be an Automatic Elimination we were faced with! It's not that we were the WORST; we just weren't the BEST!" Zarbon says: "You COULD say the complete ANTITHESIS of being the best!" Gonard says: "IGNORE HIM!" Norbert says: "Noted, moving on!" Stimpy says: "Well, even though she really only had two opportunities against me, she didn't take them; despite the fact that she KNEW I was a former champion! Clearly, she didn't target me just BECAUSE she could! She only targeted contestants, because it was the most pragmatic move she could make, at any given time!" Bulma says: "Well, let's just say I was 'Taught by Experience!' It was CERTAINLY a better plan than being vindictive, just for the sake of being so! If it didn't work ONCE, it certainly wasn't going to work a SECOND time, when MOST contestants already WITNESSED what I was capable of!" Kaput says: "I just want you to know, that if you had kept me ON, you would've AVOIDED most of YOUR team's eliminations, and the Purple Parrots would still BE a team!" Heffer says: "Sheesh! And I thought that I sometimes had delusions of grandeur!" Sway-Sway says: "Yeah! Spoiler alert, Kaput! If even HEFFER can see through your delusions, you're REALLY not doing that well!" Eliza says: "Taotie, one of the most SURPRISING moves you made this season, is that you pulled a genuine 'Heel-Face Turn', and you became friends with Po!" Tigress, in dissonant serenity, gets up from her seat, walks to where Treeflower is sitting; Tigress whispers something into Treeflower's ear, and Treeflower screams: "Taotie did WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Norbert says: "SHEESH! Why did THAT make you scream?!" Treeflower says: "I was ONLY screaming, because Tigress didn't want to RISK hurting Po's children!" Tigress says: "Exactly. Taotie, I don't know WHAT you could've POSSIBLY been thinking, IF anything; would come to fruition, by PRETENDING to be friends with Po!" Stimpy says: "Taotie didn't DO anything! And that's ME saying that! If you can't trust me, who CAN you trust?!" Tigress, in dissonant serenity, gets up from her seat, walks to where Super Chum is sitting, whispers something into his ear, and Super Chum says: "I don't know?" (SPLAT!!!!) And Green Slime falls on Super Chum! Taotie slow-claps, and he says: "Well-played, Tigress. Well-played." Eliza says: "Last question. Now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Taotie says: "I know it's a little biased, but I want Po to win." Stimpy says: "I want Marlene to win! I think now that she's wiser and more humble than she was in season two, she has a better chance to win!" Norbert says: "Thank you both, you may take your seats." Taotie sits on the opposite side that Pearl is sitting, to help balance the weight of the bleachers out, while Stimpy sits next to Haggis! Haggis says: "It's good to have you back, Stimpy!" Stimpy says: "It's good to be back, Haggis!" Eliza says: "Last, but certainly not least; we have two heavy-hitters from Spongebob Squarepants!" Norbert says: "One is a karate-chopping, scientist squirrel from Texas; the other is a REAL rock-hard rock lobster from Bikini Bottom! Give it up for Sandy and Larry!" Sandy and Larry both make acrobatic flips coming in, and everyone applauds at their agility! Tigress says: "Yeah, I could STILL do that! I just choose NOT to!" Taotie says: "Don't write checks that your mouth CAN'T cash!" Zarbon says: "And I'm surprised that I AGREE with him!" Eliza says: "In any case, I have to wonder about something. After Tigress left, you both seemed pretty FINE with Sandy taking charge, and Larry being second-in-command. Yet near the end of your runs as contestants, you turned against each other. What happened?" Sandy sighs, and she says: "Well, I think the pressure of the competition eventually GOT to us, in different ways! I was SO concerned with trying to keep Spongebob safe, and NOT have him freak out and turn Super Saiyan 2, I was willing to sacrifice my OWN game, just so that Spongebob wouldn't DO that! I NEVER thought that Buhdeuce could actually beat ME and Larry at the same time; otherwise, I would've tried a DIFFERENT strategy!" Larry sighs, and he says: "It's so WEIRD! Earlier this season, I actually PREDICTED that the contestant, we would've thought the LEAST likely to eliminate us, WOULD be the one to eliminate us! It's...still a bit of a shock to me, that it turned out to be BUHDEUCE, who would've been the one to eliminate us! If I HAD lost to anyone, I would've thought that it would've been from Po!" Tigress says: "SEE?! Somebody else GETS it!" Taotie asks: "So what do YOU want, a prize for saying the most INANE thing EVER?!" Tigress says: "I'm not EVEN going to ANSWER that one!" Stimpy says: "Nobody was REALLY expecting you, to!" Norbert says: "In any case, is there anything that either of you wished that you had done differently in the competition?" Sandy says: "It's hard to say. On the one hand, I could fantasize about what would've happened if I had kept either Johnny Krill or Pearl on, instead of somebody else; but for all I know, that could've presented an entirely different set of problems of their own!" Larry says: "And if I had KNOWN that Buhdeuce would've been ABLE to convince Dudley, Chameleon, and Po to help vote AGAINST us, I would've taken at least Bubble Bass WHEN I had the chance!" Eliza says: "One last question. Now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Larry says: "I guess I got to go with Po. He's the strongest challenger LEFT in the competition!" Tigress says: "Go, Po!" Sandy says: "And I got to go with Spongebob! He's a LOT more capable than what SOME contestants think that he is!" Norbert says: "Thank you for your interviews, and thanks to YOU, our loyal viewers at home, for watching us!" Eliza says: "In the next regular episode of Total Cartoon Legends, it will be the FINAL Team Challenge episode of the season, as well as the FINAL Double Elimination!" Norbert says: "So be sure to tune in, as we say good-bye to the teams, and hello to the MERGED portion of this show, on the next episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Sway-Sway says: "All I know for sure, is that I won't miss it!" / Episode Notes: It's revealed in this episode that Kowalski, Private, Judy, Zim, Otto, and Jenny, had to be let go from the panelists list, due to Sniz needing to be able to afford the repairs needed for the Challenge Arena, Olmec's Temple, and installing a steel gate to the start of Olmec's Temple. Featured Songs in this episode: Jefferson Starship's "Be My Lady" and "Stranger", both performed by The Real Breadwinners! / Personal Notes: I think the biggest reason why I write these "Performance Reviews", is to demonstrate the fact, that no two contestants experience, and deal with the fall-out of their actions, good or otherwise, in the same way. Everyone copes with loss, failure, mistakes, and learning from them, in their own unique ways. And being able to learn and grow from any mistakes you make, is what makes you a better person in the long run. In any case, I hope that this episode served as a relaxing breath of fresh air, as we get set on tackling the fate of the final ten contestants, left on "Total Cartoon Legends"! Enough said, true believers!

The only LITERAL star I've ever seen, that helps educate people!

I'll pick the Spongebob pillow.

It's time for the second, and final half of the episode, "Performance Review: The Legend Of The Brains!" I hope you enjoy reading it, as much as I did writing it! / After the commercials end, the show opens up back on Norbert and Eliza in their host couches. Norbert says: "Welcome back to our Performance Review!" Eliza says: "Now, one of our next guests that we're going to be interviewing, displayed some RATHER impressive intellectual strategies!" Norbert says: "Which is ESPECIALLY impressive, considering that it's my brother DAGGETT that we're talking about!" Eliza: "So, it's to that end, The Real Breadwinners are now going to play the Jefferson Starship hit song, 'Stranger', to introduce him!" Kaput shakes his head, and he says: "SERIOUSLY?!" / A montage of all of Daggett's greatest moments, from his own show, and the "Total Cartoon" seasons, is played, as The Real Breadwinners perform their own version of Jefferson Starship's hit song, "Stranger"! / Sway-Sway sings: "Raindrops falling; summer feels so gloomy. Hear a knock upon my door! Stranger calling, eyes that look like mine! He said, 'You know I've called before!' What is veiled now, soon will be shown! Come walk with me through the unknown! Familiar stranger, should I know your name? Did we meet some time ago?! I feel uncertain, shadows whisper to me now! Sudden wind begins to blow! What is veiled now, soon will be shown! Come walk with me through the unknown; stranger! Darkened doorways, strangest things can happen! Don't know who you're talking to! Find yourself when lightning strikes you now! You could be looking back at you! What is veiled now, soon will be shown! Come walk with me through the unknown! What is veiled now, soon will be shown! Come walk with me through the unknown; stranger! Familiar stranger, should I know your name? Did we meet some time ago?! Are you someone I should know, did we meet some time ago? Did we meet some time ago?!" / And the epic montage and song ends! / Daggett walks onstage to thunderous applause, as Norbert hugs him! Pearl walks onstage, as she says: "Hey! What about ME?! I was eliminated in the same episode Daggett was!" Gerald scoffs, and he says: "Join the club! I was eliminated in the SAME episode Treeflower was, and I BARELY got Squiddly Diddly!" Norbert says: "Lucky for you, Pearl; I bear no ill will against you, MOSTLY since it WAS his fellow Purple Parrots' fault that HE got eliminated!" Daggett says: "THANK YOU! It's so nice to hear from MY own brother, that he acknowledges the fact that not every SINGLE misfortune that happens to me is MY fault!" Haggis says: "To be fair, I'm not SURE if Norbert EVER said that every single misfortune that happened to you, WAS your fault!" Gonard says: "And I don't think anyone ELSE here, ever said that either!" Eliza says: "In any case, I think we need to talk about the 'Incident' that brought your sudden winning streak to a screeching halt!" Daggett groans, and he says: "Do we HAVE to TALK about that?! It took me FOREVER just to make the SMELL of it go away; let alone, having to LIVE through it and be REMINDED of it!" Zarbon says: "HEY! I LITERALLY got CRUSHED by a whale who weighs like, 8,000 POUNDS, yet you don't hear ME constantly WHINING about it!" Darwin says: "That's NOT even 'Apples and Oranges'!" Zarbon says: "Irrelevant!" Norbert says: "Noted! Can we move on?" Dog says: "I don't know?!" (SPLAT!!!!) And Green Slime falls on him! Daggett yells: "THAT?!!! THAT'S what you decided to try to DUMP on me if I LIE?!!!" Norbert says: "I didn't decide it, Eliza did! She wanted to bring back some old-school humor to this show!" Daggett says: "Well, it's hard to get MORE old-school than, 'You Can't Do That On Television'!" Eliza says: "What can I say? I'm a fan of old-school!" Daggett groans, and he says: "Well, if we MUST talk about the 'Incident', I consider it the most HUMILIATING and DEGRADING experience of MY whole life!" Norbert says: "Come on! WORSE than the time you KEPT getting knocked BACK a week into the past?!" Daggett says: "ESPECIALLY worse than the time I kept getting knocked back a week into the past!" Super Chum says: "SHEESH! And I thought KYLE had problems!" Daggett says: "Don't get me wrong, I am GLAD that Bubble Bass went out of his way to save me; just don't expect me to go anywhere NEAR a beach where Fire Urchins live EVER again!" Eliza says: "Fair enough! In any case, how do you feel about the fact that Bulma's been eliminated?" Pearl asks: "Can I actually ANSWER this one?" Norbert says: "Of COURSE you can answer this one! We ENCOURAGE it!" Pearl says: "Well, I don't find it too surprising! While Bulma was smart, she didn't HAVE the necessary athletic streak to REALLY prevail in physical challenges the way I did! In fact, the only thing I DO find surprising, is the fact that Bulma managed to make herself STAY a relevant factor in the competition for as LONG as she did!" Daggett says: "You SAID it! And it serves Bulma RIGHT for her role in eliminating me! It didn't even DO much for her, except buy her ONE, lousy more episode!" Norbert says: "In any case, now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Daggett says: "Probably Marlene. She IS the closest to me, aquatic mammal wise!" Pearl says: "I have to go with Spongebob! Now that Sandy and Larry are ALSO out of the competition, he has the best chance for WINNING this season out of the remaining contestants!" Eliza says: "Thank you, you may take your seats!" Pearl WISELY takes a seat on the bottom, so as not to make the bleachers lop-sided, while Daggett takes a seat in the middle, above Tigress! Tigress asks: "Enjoying the VIEW, are we?!" Daggett says: "Well, SOMEBODY has to!" Pearl says: "BURN!!!!" Norbert says: "Now, the next pair of contestants is kind of hard to talk about; mostly because they were BOTH so smart, and we NEVER predicted that they would be here THIS soon!" Eliza says: "I mean, since we didn't PREPARE any questions for them in advance, we REALLY had to work HARD to get questions prepared for them!" Treeflower says: "And when she says 'We', she REALLY means WANDA!" Norbert says: "Semantics, Treeflower!" Eliza says: "Thank you! Moving on, it's time we introduced Bulma, and Keswick!" And Bulma and Keswick walk on-stage, to scattered applause. Keswick says: "Huh! I thought we would get a louder reception than that!" Bulma groans, and she says: "It's probably mostly MY fault! If I hadn't have been SO arrogant in season three, people might ACTUALLY be more willing to cheer for me!" Zarbon sarcastically says: "NO! REALLY, do you THINK?!" Norbert says: "IGNORE HIM!!!!" Eliza says: "Right! Time for relevant matters! We are here to discuss, just WHY you two got eliminated!" Keswick says: "Well, for STARTERS, I had to start off with the HANDICAP that I was in an ALLIANCE with Treeflower for the BETTER part of this half-season, so that was ALREADY a factor against MY favor!" Treeflower says: "COME ON!!!! Who in the WORLD thought that I was a DETRIMENT to Keswick's ability to get through the game?!" And to her astonishment, everyone ELSE on the stage EXCEPT for Norbert and Bulma, raises their hands! Bulma says: "I had no stake in the outcome, I just enjoyed WATCHING your dumpster fire of an exercise in futility, go up in flames!" Treeflower scoffs, and she says: "At least not ALL of you are total SELL-OUTS!" Sway-Sway scoffs, and he says: "PLEASE!!!! If I WANTED to 'Sell-out', I would've done what the creators of 'Teen Titans Go!' did, and CONSTANTLY scream my favorite source of FOOD into MY personal network's head, just so they would cave in and play only MY show for 15 hours a day!" Monster says: "You have to admit, Breadwinners NEVER did THAT!" Bulma says: "Agreed! And, if I didn't realize the FULL ramifications of what my actions caused on season three before, I do NOW! Your mistakes, especially BIG ones like mine, can REALLY linger with you LONG after you've committed them! But, I never thought they might cause even the only friend I ever genuinely MADE in the competition, to doubt my word! I couldn't BEAR to go through the agonizing process of what happened in season THREE again; so I HAD to willingly make a fool of myself, and vote myself off, so Yakkity would realize I was telling the truth!" Norbert says: "Right! That move REALLY caught everyone off guard!" Bulma says: "Well, I expected there to be contestants who WEREN'T going to believe me at all, but I never expected TEN whole contestants, INCLUDING Yakkity, to vote me off! And...I feel really sorry for any contestants remaining, if they feel guilty for committing THAT action! I mean, I'm not sure if I would've felt the same way, if my position had been switched with someone else." Eliza says: "You didn't have any problem trying to get rid of Aang and Dora!" Bulma says: "That was DIFFERENT! I could CLEARLY tell that even by MY standards, those two contestants would be no good to ANYBODY in the long run! I wasn't so much trying to get rid of them because I enjoyed it, I was merely trying to make the game SAFER for everyone else, INCLUDING myself!" Zarbon gasps, and he says: "So, Bulma CAN be altruistic! Who knew?!" Daggett says: "I don't know!" (SPLAT!!!!) And green slime falls on Daggett! Kaput says: "Yeah, that one got ME by surprise, to!" Bulma shudders, and she says: "I'm sure glad I learned MY lesson on season three! Hopefully, I hope that I have completely LEARNED from my mistakes once and for all, and that I've TRULY become a better person, who's a little more humble and WISER for the wear!" Keswick says: "And I learned, that if you PLAN on going onto a game show where athletic skills WILL be required, you SHOULD come prepared, and NOT try to learn your skills as you go along!" Norbert says: "Right! One last question. Now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Keswick says: "Either Dudley, or Chameleon." Bulma says: "It's got to be Marlene! I think she's the SMARTEST remaining contestant out of all of them!" Eliza says: "Thank you both, you may take your seats!" Keswick sits next to Kitty, and Bulma sits next to Zarbon! Bulma flirts, and says: "Be HONEST, Zarbon! You SO missed having ME around!" Zarbon, dead-pan, says: "I can LITERALLY think of ten OTHER people I'd rather have NEXT to me than you, and they AREN'T members of the Ginyu Force!" Bulma says: "WORTH a shot!" Norbert says: "Now, one of our NEXT contestants is someone that Tigress has been looking FORWARD to seeing!" Tigress says: "I'm pregnant, so you'll have to IMAGINE me doing a victory dance to celebrate the occasion!" Eliza says: "Still a snark knight, the same as ever! And the other contestant, is a fellow feline, who in spite of missing Ren; still did his best to last as long as he could in the competition." Norbert says: "Please give it up for Taotie and Stimpy!" And Taotie and Stimpy walk out to thunderous applause! Taotie says: "They LIKE me! They REALLY like me!" Stimpy says: "Hi, Haggis! How have YOU been feeling?!" Haggis says: "Pretty good! Thanks for asking!" Tigress yells: "Hey, Taotie! What stupid move did YOU pull to get yourself eliminated THIS time?!" Taotie scoffs, and he says: "Oh, wouldn't YOU like to know?!" Tigress scoffs, and she says: "Come on! We ALL know I'm just going to get slime on you, so you might as well save FIVE minutes of your life, and just SAY it!" Taotie says: "I'm NOT as predictable as you THINK I am! I am NOT going to say THOSE words!" Tigress asks: "WHAT words?!" Taotie groans, and he says: "I don't KNOW!" (SPLAT!!!!) And he gets covered with Green Slime! Tigress laughs, and she says: "Ha, ha, ha! I TOLD you he'd FALL for THAT!" Taotie groans as he towels himself off, and he says: "Very funny! Let's all LAUGH at the Warthog!" Stimpy sighs, and he says: "Come on, Tigress! Don't you EVER get tired of being demeaning towards Taotie?" Tigress says: "Tell you what; I'll STOP being demeaning to Taotie, ONCE it stops being funny!" (Confessional) Tigress says: "As in, NEVER!!!!" (End Confessional) Eliza says: "In any case, now that YOU two are here, we have personal witnesses, and an outside look, on the whole Bulma ordeal. Is there anything, in retrospect, that would've made you reconsider voting Bulma Briefs off?" Taotie says: "Well, certainly the fact that even AFTER 11 opportunities to do so, Bulma NEVER voted me off! Probably because I was actually useful AND sane, but that should go without SAYING!" Tigress scoffs, and she says: "YOU?! Useful and SANE?! Don't make ME laugh! Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Stimpy says: "Come on! I saw what he did after YOU left! Taotie REALLY composed himself, for the most part! I mean, he really ONLY slipped up when he let Bulma GOAD him into getting angry at Daggett, AND for voting Bulma off!" Taotie groans, and he says: "Oh, you had to bring THOSE two incidents up!" Stimpy says: "Hey! I was just as much of a part in that mistake as YOU were! Besides, the only reason WE even got eliminated, is that it just HAPPENED to be an Automatic Elimination we were faced with! It's not that we were the WORST; we just weren't the BEST!" Zarbon says: "You COULD say the complete ANTITHESIS of being the best!" Gonard says: "IGNORE HIM!" Norbert says: "Noted, moving on!" Stimpy says: "Well, even though she really only had two opportunities against me, she didn't take them; despite the fact that she KNEW I was a former champion! Clearly, she didn't target me just BECAUSE she could! She only targeted contestants, because it was the most pragmatic move she could make, at any given time!" Bulma says: "Well, let's just say I was 'Taught by Experience!' It was CERTAINLY a better plan than being vindictive, just for the sake of being so! If it didn't work ONCE, it certainly wasn't going to work a SECOND time, when MOST contestants already WITNESSED what I was capable of!" Kaput says: "I just want you to know, that if you had kept me ON, you would've AVOIDED most of YOUR team's eliminations, and the Purple Parrots would still BE a team!" Heffer says: "Sheesh! And I thought that I sometimes had delusions of grandeur!" Sway-Sway says: "Yeah! Spoiler alert, Kaput! If even HEFFER can see through your delusions, you're REALLY not doing that well!" Eliza says: "Taotie, one of the most SURPRISING moves you made this season, is that you pulled a genuine 'Heel-Face Turn', and you became friends with Po!" Tigress, in dissonant serenity, gets up from her seat, walks to where Treeflower is sitting; Tigress whispers something into Treeflower's ear, and Treeflower screams: "Taotie did WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Norbert says: "SHEESH! Why did THAT make you scream?!" Treeflower says: "I was ONLY screaming, because Tigress didn't want to RISK hurting Po's children!" Tigress says: "Exactly. Taotie, I don't know WHAT you could've POSSIBLY been thinking, IF anything; would come to fruition, by PRETENDING to be friends with Po!" Stimpy says: "Taotie didn't DO anything! And that's ME saying that! If you can't trust me, who CAN you trust?!" Tigress, in dissonant serenity, gets up from her seat, walks to where Super Chum is sitting, whispers something into his ear, and Super Chum says: "I don't know?" (SPLAT!!!!) And Green Slime falls on Super Chum! Taotie slow-claps, and he says: "Well-played, Tigress. Well-played." Eliza says: "Last question. Now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Taotie says: "I know it's a little biased, but I want Po to win." Stimpy says: "I want Marlene to win! I think now that she's wiser and more humble than she was in season two, she has a better chance to win!" Norbert says: "Thank you both, you may take your seats." Taotie sits on the opposite side that Pearl is sitting, to help balance the weight of the bleachers out, while Stimpy sits next to Haggis! Haggis says: "It's good to have you back, Stimpy!" Stimpy says: "It's good to be back, Haggis!" Eliza says: "Last, but certainly not least; we have two heavy-hitters from Spongebob Squarepants!" Norbert says: "One is a karate-chopping, scientist squirrel from Texas; the other is a REAL rock-hard rock lobster from Bikini Bottom! Give it up for Sandy and Larry!" Sandy and Larry both make acrobatic flips coming in, and everyone applauds at their agility! Tigress says: "Yeah, I could STILL do that! I just choose NOT to!" Taotie says: "Don't write checks that your mouth CAN'T cash!" Zarbon says: "And I'm surprised that I AGREE with him!" Eliza says: "In any case, I have to wonder about something. After Tigress left, you both seemed pretty FINE with Sandy taking charge, and Larry being second-in-command. Yet near the end of your runs as contestants, you turned against each other. What happened?" Sandy sighs, and she says: "Well, I think the pressure of the competition eventually GOT to us, in different ways! I was SO concerned with trying to keep Spongebob safe, and NOT have him freak out and turn Super Saiyan 2, I was willing to sacrifice my OWN game, just so that Spongebob wouldn't DO that! I NEVER thought that Buhdeuce could actually beat ME and Larry at the same time; otherwise, I would've tried a DIFFERENT strategy!" Larry sighs, and he says: "It's so WEIRD! Earlier this season, I actually PREDICTED that the contestant, we would've thought the LEAST likely to eliminate us, WOULD be the one to eliminate us! It's...still a bit of a shock to me, that it turned out to be BUHDEUCE, who would've been the one to eliminate us! If I HAD lost to anyone, I would've thought that it would've been from Po!" Tigress says: "SEE?! Somebody else GETS it!" Taotie asks: "So what do YOU want, a prize for saying the most INANE thing EVER?!" Tigress says: "I'm not EVEN going to ANSWER that one!" Stimpy says: "Nobody was REALLY expecting you, to!" Norbert says: "In any case, is there anything that either of you wished that you had done differently in the competition?" Sandy says: "It's hard to say. On the one hand, I could fantasize about what would've happened if I had kept either Johnny Krill or Pearl on, instead of somebody else; but for all I know, that could've presented an entirely different set of problems of their own!" Larry says: "And if I had KNOWN that Buhdeuce would've been ABLE to convince Dudley, Chameleon, and Po to help vote AGAINST us, I would've taken at least Bubble Bass WHEN I had the chance!" Eliza says: "One last question. Now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Larry says: "I guess I got to go with Po. He's the strongest challenger LEFT in the competition!" Tigress says: "Go, Po!" Sandy says: "And I got to go with Spongebob! He's a LOT more capable than what SOME contestants think that he is!" Norbert says: "Thank you for your interviews, and thanks to YOU, our loyal viewers at home, for watching us!" Eliza says: "In the next regular episode of Total Cartoon Legends, it will be the FINAL Team Challenge episode of the season, as well as the FINAL Double Elimination!" Norbert says: "So be sure to tune in, as we say good-bye to the teams, and hello to the MERGED portion of this show, on the next episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Sway-Sway says: "All I know for sure, is that I won't miss it!" / Episode Notes: It's revealed in this episode that Kowalski, Private, Judy, Zim, Otto, and Jenny, had to be let go from the panelists list, due to Sniz needing to be able to afford the repairs needed for the Challenge Arena, Olmec's Temple, and installing a steel gate to the start of Olmec's Temple. Featured Songs in this episode: Jefferson Starship's "Be My Lady" and "Stranger", both performed by The Real Breadwinners! / Personal Notes: I think the biggest reason why I write these "Performance Reviews", is to demonstrate the fact, that no two contestants experience, and deal with the fall-out of their actions, good or otherwise, in the same way.

Enough said, true believers!

MAN! I've got to start writing shorter episodes, this re-run needs to be broken up into two parts, to! I hope you enjoy it, anyways! / Instead of the normal show open, a tropical jungle setting is shown, and the words: "Total Cartoon Legends: Performance Review" appear in solid gold, and clips from the previous six episodes are shown! / Wally says: "A lot can change in 20 years, but one thing that will NEVER change, is the love that I feel for Rube! And I don't want to jeopardize that future for anything!" / Stimpy asks: "Speaking of teaming up, don't you think it's high time to get into an alliance with me, Marlene, Wally, and Future Rube in order to vote the IRRITANT off?!" Marlene whispers to Spongebob, and she says: "And by 'Irritant', he MEANS Treeflower!" / Spongebob breathes a deep sigh, and he says: "Only IF Treeflower does anything bad to me, and ONLY than; than I WILL vote with Stimpy, Marlene, Wally, and Future Rube." / Treeflower gets MAD, and she SCREAMS: "I WAS BEING RUDE TO YOU!!!!" Keswick groans, and he sarcastically says: "GEE, that was a REALLY smart thing to say just now. And you WONDER why everyone else HATES you!" / Keswick mocks Treeflower, and he says: "Oh, Keswick; I'm so SMART and PRETTY! Everyone else is so UGLY and STUPID!! EVERYONE ought to listen to me and respect me, because I USED to be a C.I.T. at a REAL summer camp!" Keswick resumes his normal voice, and he says: "Does SHE even LISTEN to herself when she TALKS?!!! Someone PLEASE remind me to NEVER work with such a stuck-up snob EVER AGAIN!!" / Keswick says: "Hey! If she IS going to TRY to eliminate me anyways, I hardly think it matters WHAT I say! I just want to let HER know, SHE'S eliminating the ONLY contestant BESIDES Norbert who was EVER willing to TOLERATE her!" Stimpy says: "OOH, BURN!!!!" / Treeflower's demeanor changes, and dead-pan, she says: "Oh, look. It's Daggett; the Anti-Norbert. How YOU'VE managed to last THIS long is BEYOND me!" / Treeflower sputters, and she says: "ME?! APOLOGIZE?! As IF! What would I HAVE to apologize for?!" Pearl says: "Do you want the LONG list, or the SHORT version? And SPOILER alert; even the SHORT version goes on for 15 minutes!" / Marlene incredulously asks: "Are you SERIOUSLY trying to get ME to help you?! Besides, I would HONESTLY rather have DAGGETT win than YOU!!!!" Treeflower YELLS: "Are you CRAZY?!!!" Marlene winces, and she says: "And in CASE you were WONDERING, WHICH I highly doubt; your SCREAM is just ONE of the many reasons WHY!" / Treeflower groans, and she screams: "I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!!!!" And her voice echoes off the walls: "IDIOT! Idiot! Idiot..." Keswick pops his head in, and he says: "But I think you DO mean well!" Treeflower says: "Not now, I'm having a moment." Keswick says: "Got you!" / Bulma says: "It's about time SOMEONE realized who the MOST valuable member on this TEAM is! I mean, SERIOUSLY people!" / Treeflower sighs, and she says: "I TRIED playing it Tigress' way; it DOESN'T work, at ALL! At least THIS way, I get a little bit of respect back!" Spongebob's eyes well up, and he says: "You DO care!" / Treeflower sighs, and says: "I KNOW this is the right thing to do; doesn't make it FEEL any less AWFUL having to wait for the OTHER shoe to fall!" / Gerald nervously asks: "WHY isn't Treeflower freaking OUT?!!!" Buhdeuce rhetorically answers: "Maybe her INTENTION of LETTING Spongebob answer every question was GENUINE?!" Gerald says: "She's GOT to FREAK out! She ALWAYS freaks out!" Buhdeuce says: "That's STUPID!" Gerald says: "I'll PROVE it!" Buhdeuce says: "Oh, you don't HAVE to prove it; I believe you're being STUPID!" / Gerald scoffs, and he says: "No BEAVER is going to make ME look like a fool!" Daggett says: "Of course not! You're DOING a pretty good job of that, yourself!" / Gerald groans, and he nervously says: "Oh, that's it MAN! Game over, man! GAME OVER!" / Future Rube says: "Regardless of what happens, I feel like Wally is ALREADY a winner in MY books! He is AMAZING to me!" / Keswick asks: "You're REALLY willing to give me a second chance?!" Spongebob says: "I believe EVERYONE deserves a second chance, as long as they EARN it, first!" / Taotie asks: "A surprise? I don't like the SOUND of that!" / Yakety asks: "Has everyone REALLY been spelling my NAME wrong this WHOLE time?!" Johnny Krill is with him, and he sighs, and says: "Well, yes." Yakety yells: "FIX IT!!!!" Johnny groans: "FINE...Yakkity!" Yakkity says: "That's BETTER!" / Pearl reaches into her purse, and she says: "I've got some bobby pins I can fire at DAGGETT! And believe me, if you STEP on a fire urchin, you're GONNA have a bad time!" / Daggett scoffs, and says: "Figures! As soon as I feel the SLIGHTEST bit GOOD about my own intelligence and confidence, some SPOOTY thing has to come around and kick me DOWN a peg! I mean, if somebody WAS going to have to do a 'NASTY' on my foot in order to save me, that's SOMETHING I should be WARNED about, TEN YEARS IN ADVANCE; MINIMUM!" / Daggett says: "At least MY show actually LASTED for five seasons; which is THREE more than YOURS did!" Fee sarcastically says: "Oh, ow. I'm SO hurt! By the way, IF you die; can I have your stuff?" Harvey says: "Fee, that's BAD!!!!" Fee says: "Oh, RIGHT! WHEN you die!" Harvey says: "FEE, that's even WORSE!!!!" / Daggett says: "If you flunk THIS one, Fee; you are SO going to have to repeat a grade!" Fee says: "I'm NOT being graded!" Yakkity says: "Except for a railroad GRADE!!!!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! / Fee says: "The one thing I would LIKE to know, is when am I EVER going to need to know THAT history in REAL life?!" / Fee says: "Ix-nay on the onspiracy-cay! Johnny is OBVIOUSLY going to team up with Bulma and HELP her dig MORE than me! Get out your RULE book, and RULE check already!" / Harvey face-palms himself, and yells: "Fee, we are STRUGGLING TOGETHER!!!!" / Fee THINKS about it, and she asks: "What's the AMENDMENT that prevents me from incriminating myself in a trial AGAIN?!" / Harvey gulps nervously, and he gets an Anime sweat drop, and he says: "Boy, did I EVER pick the wrong time to put MY foot down! I did NOT think that plan through WHATSOEVER!" / Bulma turns to Bubble Bass, and she asks: "So, Bubble Bass; now that you're on OUR team, how does it feel to FINALLY be able to have conversations WORTH talking about?!" Daggett yells: "What's THAT supposed to MEAN?!" Bulma mockingly says: "What's that supposed to mean?" Than Bulma SERIOUSLY says: "SERIOUSLY, that's what you SOUND like! Do you even LISTEN to yourself when you TALK?!" / Pearl says: "Bubble Bass and I could NEVER betray each other! It's kind of a common courtesy for family members to NOT betray each other!" / Bulma says: "I will do the leading, if you don't mind! I WAS voted most LIKELY to lead at my high school graduation class WHEN I turned 14!" Daggett asks: "Leading WHAT?! A group of people TRYING to be most annoying?! Because I THINK you've already won BRONZE, Silver, AND Gold in doing THAT!" Yakkity asks: "Who WON the gold?!" / Bulma says: "You know, I WAS considering making Daggett PROVE himself in this competition! But NOPE!!!! He just HAD to open up his mouth! Bye-bye Daggett; HELLO Bubble Bass! At least HE knows knowledge when he SEES it!" / Yakkity asks: "WHAT?! 'Cryptic'? Is THAT what he's calling it now?" / Bulma opens up a bag of popcorn, and she says: "I am SO going to ENJOY this!" / Sandy says: "Showing up and potentially HUMILIATING Spongebob during a Steps of Knowledge Challenge? HARD PASS!!!!" / Daggett says: "Come ON; get the next one RIGHT already!" Taotie says: "Don't boss ME around; you're not the BOSS of me!" Daggett ruefully says: "Of COURSE I'm not; because Bulma is already doing that FOR you!" Taotie says: "In your DREAMS; you FREAKY little SHREW!" Daggett screams: "THAT DOES IT!!!!" And he engages Taotie in a "Big Ball of Violence!" Bulma laughs with glee, and she says: "I haven't had THIS much fun since I watched Barack Obama first take office on January 20, 2009!" / Taotie turns to Daggett, and Taotie angrily screams: "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!" Daggett sputters, and he replies: "MY FAULT?!" Bulma says: "Well, DUH; you idiotic, moronic, stupid, imbecilic, chuckle-headed DOPE! I TOLD you that you would BLOW that challenge for us! Now, how are we SUPPOSED to win two Pendants NOW?" Daggett says: "How about from your BIG, FAT, MOUTH?!!!" / Johnny says: "Well, folks; it seems as though we're experiencing some technical difficul--." (BOOM!!!!) / Yakkity says: "Even so; Bulma has ALWAYS been nice to me! I'm not SURE if I could just turn on her, like that!" Bubble Bass says: "Use your head! She's ONLY looking out for ONE person; and THAT'S herself! If she HAD to make a choice between YOU and herself to get to the Goddess Slot, she will ALWAYS pick herself first! And you can bet your button-up FUR on that!" / Bubble Bass says: "Thank you, Yakkity! I always KNEW you were one of the GOOD guys!" / Bulma scoffs, and she says: "I WOULD be actually WORRIED about being ELIMINATED, if I THOUGHT anyone had an ACTUAL chance of doing it! But since I WILL inevitably FIND the Immunity Pendant FIRST; that chance IMMEDIATELY drops to ZERO!" / Bulma scoffs, and she says: "I've already lost ONCE! If I'm going to LOSE again; it's NOT going to be against a DUMB-BUTT like you!" / Buhdeuce says: "You know, I WAS going to go EASY on her on the Steps of Knowledge! But NOPE!! She HAD to use the 'D' word; so now the metaphorical kid gloves are OFF!!!!" / Taotie defiantly says: "NO!!!!" Bulma ANGRILY breaks her lip-stick in two, and she angrily says: "Like; WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!!" Taotie says: "Oh, I'm SORRY! Was THAT too complicated for you? I'll TRY dumbing it down to YOUR level! DUH!!!!" / Bulma screams: "I have WORKED my fingers to the BONE to GET this FAR; and SUCK up the WORST aspects of my PERSONALITY, just so you would be willing to GIVE me the TIME of DAY!!!! After everything I've DONE for this TEAM; I DESERVE to GET THE GODDESS SLOT; and I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!!!" / Bubble Bass leans in, and yells: "WELCOME TO REAL LIFE! You want the Goddess Slot so badly? EARN IT! And SHOW some FREAKING Empathy for once!" / Bulma says: "How DARE you; you INSOLENT PEASANT?! NOBODY talks to ME that way! Nobody! NOBODY!!!!" Her voice echoes: "NOBODY! Nobody! Nobody..." / Bulma groans, winces, and she says: "Today, is SO not going to get any better for me, is it?" Bubble Bass says: "Well, I would SAY that it WOULD; but realistically, probably NOT!" Bulma says: "I'll give you points for honesty!" / Bulma nervously says: "Okay! There's NO pressure, and NO obligation to give ME anything; but will you...PLEASE answer the next question? If you do, you can keep...the Immunity Pendant!" Yakkity says: "Promise, PROMISE?!!!" Bulma exclaims: "If I'm LYING, I hope to be struck by LIGHTNING!!!!" And she ACTUALLY braces herself, as if EXPECTING lightning to hit her REGARDLESS, but NOTHING happens! Bulma says: "SEE?!!!" / Bulma groans, and she says: "It's official! I've hit ROCK bottom!" Yakkity says: "Well, if it's any consolation; when you've hit rock bottom, the only place left to go is UP; but you've got to put down the SHOVEL, first!" Bulma asks: "You...KNOW about that metaphor? Why didn't you EVER tell me?" Yakkity says: "Well, you NEVER asked!" Bulma gasps, and she says: "I'm...practically SPEECHLESS!!!!" / Keswick gasps, and he says: "Did Bulma ACTUALLY say she was practically SPEECHLESS?! IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!" And Handel's "Hallellulah Chorus" plays in the background! A choir sings: "Hallellulah! Hallellulah! Halle-halle-halle, halle-halle-halle, halleluh-lulah! Hallellulah! Hallellulah! Hallellulah..." / Marlene says: "Let's just say the reason that I'm voting off Bulma, is PAYBACK for season three!" / Bubble Bass says: "Wow! I managed to beat the BRAINIAC herself! No EASY task, I might add! From now on, everything is a personal BEST for me!" / Stimpy says: "Bulma...WAS telling the truth!" Keswick says: "Even after ALL the visual evidence, we STILL didn't believe her!" Marlene says: "It...wasn't supposed to end like THIS!" Taotie sadly says: "This...is the WORST villainous thing I have EVER done, and I wasn't even TRYING be EVIL!" Po says: "How could WE have all gotten this...so WRONG?" / Bulma says: "One last thing! I KNOW you all think that I WAS a very bad girl! But you've GOT to admit; I was very, VERY good at it!" / Future Rube gives his father a hug, and he says: "Dad...a wise man once told me; 'You can never know for SURE which decisions you make, will end up being the right ones. But, you will ALWAYS miss 100% of the time on the chances you DON'T take in life'!" Bubble Bass's eyes widen up, and he says: "Me! I'm...going to say that someday, aren't I?" / Taotie says: "I don't think we've EVER been in a scenario, where NINE contestants were tied in the karma department. There's no telling WHO Karma might decide to strike first! And since I don't want to tempt fate, I can only safely say; it COULD be ANY of us!" / Stimpy says: "Oh, GREAT! A challenge about that CRAZY French guy! I'm in trouble!" / Taotie chuckles, and he says: "Hunch is actually a pretty funny word! I wonder who thought of that?" Bubble Bass snarks back and says: "Your MOM!!!!" Yakkity says: "BURN!!!!" / Larry says: "It's getting to the point, where BUHDEUCE is honestly looking like a BETTER partner to take to the Final Three than SANDY is!" / Sandy says: "You know, it's become INCREASINGLY apparent to me, that I could actually LOSE to Buhdeuce!" / Infant Rube suddenly squeals, and he says: "D...d...d...d...DADDY!!!!" Bubble Bass gasps, and he says: "NEPTUNE! He said his FIRST word! And it was ME!!!! And it was CAUGHT on camera! I wonder how BLONDA is going to feel about that?" / Sandy says: "Well, if it's SO easy to beat Spongebob, why don't YOU do it?! Put your money where your MOUTH is, why don't you?!" / Sandy says: "I've got to say it; it SUCKS to be STUCK in the middle the way I am!" / Sniz says: "Take a look! We put the series' name on EVERYTHING! Merchandising, merchandising! Where the REAL money from the series is made! Total Cartoon the lunch-box, Total Cartoon the breakfast cereal, Total Cartoon the coloring book, Total Cartoon the T-Shirt, Total Cartoon the FLAMETHROWER!!!! The kids really LOVE that one! And last but not least, Total Cartoon the Talking Toy, ME!" / Larry says: "The rock lobster, is TAKING over!" Sandy scowls, and she angrily yells: "NO one double crosses a squirrel from Texas, and walks away without a THRASHING! Po, partner up with ME! Larry, you just BOUGHT yourself a challenge THROW DOWN!" Larry scoffs, and he says: "Fine with me! It makes the challenge more interesting, for ME!!!!" / Sandy says: "Mark my words; if you TRY to beat Spongebob, you're GOING to have a bad time!" Buhdeuce says: "Even I know what THAT'S a reference to!" / Sandy yells: "Why don't YOU just talk to my FISTS?!!!" / Larry stares in disbelieving shock, and he says: "I've been ELIMINATED, by a DUCK?!!!" Buhdeuce says: "A Breadwinner duck!" Sandy shakes her head, and she says: "If we hadn't been so FOCUSED on destroying each other, we would STILL have a CHANCE against that guy!" / The clips finally end, and the words "Total Cartoon Legends: Performance Review", flies right toward the screen to end the show open! / "Performance Review: The Legend Of The Brains!" / The show opens up proper, focusing on Norbert and Eliza sitting on their host couches, but some of the panel has notably gone MISSING from the bleachers! Norbert says: "Welcome to another Performance Review, for Total Cartoon Legends!" Eliza says: "You might have noticed that some of the panelists who HAVE been with us on the bleachers, are not here anymore." Norbert says: "That's because unfortunately, due to events that took place in the last regular episode; namely, Larry and Sandy engaging in a 'Big Ball of Violence' which destroyed HALF of the challenge arena and the insides of Olmec's Temple; Sniz needed to find a way to get some money in the budget to FIX it all, and install a new steel gate to the entrance of Olmec's Temple, so that no one can wreck it AGAIN! So, Kowalski, Private, Judy, Zim, Otto, and Jenny, sadly had to be let go." Kaput says: "It serves Zim RIGHT, I should say! Acting like he's superior to everyone else! At least I'm actually SOMEWHAT competent and sane!" Gonard says: "That really isn't SAYING much when you're using ZIM as a measuring stick of what NOT to be like!" Dog says: "And I'm surprised to say this, but I think Gonard is RIGHT!" Eliza is stunned, and she says: "Well, THAT'S surprising!" Norbert says: "That's HARDLY the only surprising thing that has happened since the LAST time we've had a Performance Review! Not only have we lost 12 MORE contestants, some of the contestants we lost, were some real HEAVY hitters, that I thought we might NEVER get to interview!" Eliza says: "While some of them were physical threats, most of them were intellectual heavyweights!" Norbert says: "That's why we're naming tonight's Performance Review, The Legend Of The Brains!" Zarbon chuckles and he says: "No wonder Judy, Zim, and Otto aren't here than. They don't have the BRAINS to qualify for BEING here!" Darwin says: "Watch yourself! You BARELY qualified to remain on the panel yourself!" Norbert says: "Speaking of panel, it's time to reveal the list of eliminated contestants, that we'll be adding to the panel tonight!" Eliza says: "Some were Green Monkeys, some were Red Jaguars, some were Orange Iguanas, and some were Purple Parrots. But however you slice it, a good number of them lasted a LOT longer than anyone thought they would!" Norbert says: "That is correct! And the list begins as follows. Someone who I REALLY wanted to make it all the way this season, TREEFLOWER!" Tigress scoffs, and she says: "THAT'S hardly surprising!" Eliza says: "Gerald, Fee, and Harvey Beaks." Norbert says: "A contestant who actually impressed me in ways I NEVER thought possible, Daggett!" Monster says: "How come he's impressed by Daggett, and NOT me?!" Heffer says: "Probably because you were ONLY eliminated in the third episode of this half-season?!" Monster says: "It's a fair cop." Eliza says: "Pearl, and someone who I thought would NEVER be eliminated the way she WAS, Bulma!" Zarbon gasps, and he says: "Bulma was ELIMINATED?! And NOT by me?! Which BRAINIAC accomplished that?!" Norbert says: "We'll find out soon enough! Keswick was eliminated." Kitty says: "Although I must say, it's impressive that he managed to outlast 31 other contestants!" Eliza says: "Taotie was eliminated." Tigress scoffs, and she says: "TOOK him long enough!" Norbert says: "Stimpy was eliminated." Haggis says: "And by an automatic elimination, no less! Otherwise, I don't see any other scenario where he COULD'VE been eliminated!" Eliza says: "And sadly, Sandy and Larry were eliminated as well." Dog shakes his head, and he says: "Poor Spongebob. I can't imagine that such an elimination WON'T upset him!" Norbert says: "Well, in any case, we're going to start with a contestant that I'VE been wanting to talk to for quite a while! And to introduce her, I'll have The Real Breadwinners, play Jefferson Starship's 'Be My Lady' for your listening pleasure!" Sway-Sway says: "All right! You heard him boys, it is TIME to get PAID!!!!" / A montage of Treeflower's best moments from her own show, as well as some from the "Total Cartoon" seasons, play, as romantic flowers surround the scenes. / Sway-Sway sings: "I just look at you and I'm hypnotized. Like I'm drowning now, drowning in your eyes. You are beautiful, past imagining. And I want you more, more than anything. And I cannot speak, and I've lost my sight! All my senses gone, lost in you tonight! And I want your love! Be my lady, be my lady, be my lady tonight! All right! Be my lady! Do I ask too much, do I want too much? Want to know you now, want to feel your touch. You just look at me, feel the fire start! Want to make you burn, want to touch your heart! And I cannot speak, and I've lost my sight! All my senses gone, lost in you tonight! And I want your love! Be my lady, be my lady, be my lady, lady; c'mon girl, be my lady tonight! All right! Be my lady! (Instrumental Break) Got a racing heart and my mind's a roar. Never felt like this, never loved before. And it's dangerous, I would willingly burn to ashes now, if you'll stay with me! And I cannot speak, and I've lost my sight! All my senses gone, lost in you tonight! And I want your love! Be my lady, you know I love you now! Be my lady! Won't you be my lady; tonight?!" / And the montage ends as Treeflower walks onstage, and Norbert gives her a hug! Gerald walks onstage, and he says: "Hey! Where's MY song?! I was eliminated in the same episode SHE was!" Norbert says: "If it were UP to me, you WOULDN'T be interviewed at ALL! It's partially YOUR fault that Treeflower is here in the FIRST place!" Darwin scoffs, and he says: "Like she could have EVER actually won even WITHOUT the Gerald factor!" Eliza says: "Not now, Darwin! I REALLY had to STRUGGLE to convince Sniz and the executives to keep you ON! Don't give them a reason to RECONSIDER that decision!" Darwin sighs, and he says: "Oh, all right!" Norbert says: "On the one hand, Treeflower! I am GLAD to have you here! But another, I'm sad that you didn't last longer!" Gerald scoffs, and he says: "Well, we all KNOW why she DIDN'T last longer!" Eliza says: "GERALD!" Gerald says: "COME ON! Drop the charade already! We all know that the REAL reason Treeflower is here, is because she's a pretentious, snobbish, vain, conceited, narcissistic DIVA that has EVER graced a competitive show!" Sway-Sway says: "Except for DIVA, don't the OTHER words all mean EXACTLY the EXACT same thing?!" Gerald says: "Irrelevant, because it's STILL all true!" Norbert says: "You're LUCKY that I CAN'T eliminate you a SECOND time!" Treeflower sighs, and she says: "No, he's right. It's all true!" Gerald says: "See?! I told you she would never--WHAT?!!" Super Chum flies in, and he says: "Stop the PRESSES! Did Treeflower just ADMIT that Gerald was RIGHT?!" Eliza says: "Not now, Super Chum! But I am glad to see you here! We'll be interviewing you a little later, okay?!" Super Chum says: "No problem, I can wait!" And he flies to the backstage area! Norbert says: "Now, why DID you say that Gerald was right, Treeflower?" Treeflower says: "Well, I THOUGHT it would be a good idea to emulate Tigress' game plan strategy!" Tigress scoffs, and she says: "Don't know how she ever got it into her head that she could POSSIBLY pull THAT idea off! There's only ONE contestant who can play the TIGRESS way, and it's ME!" Kaput scoffs, and he says: "And even YOU couldn't do that forever! In fact, you were out just ONE episode after you beat ME up as a Temple Guard!" Tigress says: "If it WEREN'T for the fact that I'm currently pregnant, I'd RIP out ALL of your hair right now, and NOT quickly, EITHER!" And Kaput grabs hold of his hair, as if NOT wanting Tigress to even TRY to carry out her threat! Treeflower says: "Look, the fact of the matter is, while it's true that I DID outlast Aang, Snaptrap, Darwin, Zim, Blonda, Dora, SOMEHOW Tigress, Dog, SOMEHOW Zarbon, and Super Chum; I don't think there was EVER an elimination that I was personally proud of, mainly because I never played to have fun! And it kind of stings me a little, to know that a good number of contestants who outlasted me, and some who continue to remain in the competition, had the secret figured out so EASILY! Honestly, I don't think I could've gotten ANY respect back, if I hadn't have given my Immunity Pendant to Spongebob! It was the first completely decent move I made during that season! And for what it's worth, I hope Spongebob wins this half-season of Total Cartoon Legends!" Norbert says: "All I know is, now I have to give some serious THOUGHT as to who I want to win this season, Treeflower! Thank you for interviewing us!" Gerald says: "Wow! I...thought you were going to interview BOTH of us?" Eliza says: "Um, it's ONLY a half-hour show!" Norbert says: "And besides; what could YOU do if we DON'T interview you?" Gerald is ACTUALLY stumped, and he says: "I don't KNOW?!" (SPLAT!!!!) And green slime rains down on him, as the "You Can't Do That On Television" theme plays! Eliza says: "And thank you, for revealing TODAY'S game that we're playing!" Norbert says: "This time, we're playing TRUTH, or SLIME!!!!" An Image of the Statue of Justice is shown, until it gets COVERED with green slime! Treeflower and Gerald take their seats, and Gerald cleans himself up, and he says: "Man! The SCHNOZBERRIES really DO taste like SCHNOZBERRIES!" Eliza says: "As Gerald has demonstrated, anytime someone tells a lie, OR; whenever WE need a good laugh after someone says; I.D.K., the slime will come down!" Norbert says: "In any case, it's time to bring out our next set of contestants!" Eliza says: "She was a girl, he was a boy. Can I make it ANYMORE obvious?" Kaput scoffs, and sarcastically says: "GEE, I DON'T Know!" (SPLAT!!!!) And green slime rains down on Kaput, to! Kaput says: "COME ON!!!! How is THAT even possible?!" Norbert says: "The slime tubes run pretty much EVERYWHERE in this building, so it can even SLIME the panel, if it wants to!" Zarbon shudders, and he says: "I'm so glad I DIDN'T say it! I'm too FOND of MY beauty!" Norbert says: "In any case, they both came from the show of Harvey Beaks! One is a sassy girl with a lot of attitude, the other is a pretty good boy with a little streak of adventure of him; give it up for Fee and Harvey Beaks!" Fee and Harvey walk onstage to thunderous applause! Haggis says: "They're only 12, and they're already THAT popular?! Usually, you have to pay EXTRA for THAT!" Eliza says: "So, it's nice to have you here, Harvey and Fee!" Harvey says: "It feels pretty good to be here, especially now that Fee is FINALLY taking history and reading SERIOUSLY!" Norbert says: "That's right! The last we heard, Sandy wouldn't rescue Fee until she answered a history question. How did THAT go?!" Fee groans, and she says: "Well, it took me FOREVER, but I FINALLY figured out the answer to the question Sandy asked me! Needless to say, I'm actually STARTING to take studying SERIOUSLY now, just so I NEVER have to be STUCK in a scenario like that again!" Eliza says: "Now, we will be interviewing Bulma later, but I want to get your thoughts right now. How do you feel about Bulma Briefs being eliminated?" Harvey says: "Quite frankly, not a lot! I mean, Bulma really didn't DO much this season, in terms of targeting Fee and me! I don't HAVE a personal vendetta against her the way I did in season three?" Norbert asks: "So, do you HAVE any feelings about Bulma one way or the other?" Harvey says: "You want to know the honest truth? I DON'T KNOW!!!!" And for some reason, a (SPLAT!!!!) happens to Haggis McHaggis! Harvey says: "You IDIOTS!!!! That SLIME wasn't for him, it was for ME!!!!" Cosmo says: "Well, your names BOTH start with an 'H', and there's like, 46 different contestants to keep track of, I can't keep EVERYONE straight!" Wanda says: "ONE would be nice!" Cosmo says: "Oh, don't pretend you don't LOVE it when I make YOU be the smart one!" Wanda says: "Which is ALL the time!" Cosmo says: "Irrelevant!" Eliza groans, and she says: "Remind me, to remind Sniz to FIRE Cosmo, AGAIN!!!! And this time, maybe see if he can STAY fired!" Norbert says: "Well, I'll try, but Cosmo SURE has a lot of DUMB luck in NOT staying fired!" Cosmo says: "And PROUD of it, to!" Eliza says: "In any case, if you don't have any strong feelings about Bulma; is there anything you wish you had done differently during the competition?" Fee says: "Well, for starters, I would've studied BEFORE coming here, so that I wouldn't have been stumped by the questions!" Harvey says: "And I would've been more patient with Fee! Not everyone is as fast as a reader as I am!" Norbert says: "Now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Fee says: "It's got to be Marlene! She's the only female left in the competition!" Harvey says: "Either Spongebob or Buhdeuce, depending on which one of them makes it to the Final Three!" Eliza says: "Thank you for your time, you may take your seats!" And Harvey and Fee take a low seat next to Tigress! Tigress says: "Do you two HAVE to sit next to me?!" Fee says: "Why not? You've GOT to get used to children being around YOU sooner or later, since you WILL be having them!" Tigress groans, and she says: "Now I know the TRUE drawbacks of being pregnant!" Norbert says: "Back from cleaning the Pacific Ocean as much as he could, he's a super-hero, and a paragon of virtue and justice, give it up for Super Chum!" And Super Chum flies on-stage to loud applause! Treeflower says: "It's AMAZING how such a strong superhero, didn't manage to make his show last longer!" Harvey says: "I blame executive meddling!" Eliza says: "So, now that you're here, you have to tell us if there was something you WISH you could've done during the competition?" Super Chum says: "Well, if I had known that Jenny was going to malfunction and say a 'No-no' word, I would've stuck around to stop it! Such language is unacceptable in a world like ours, or any other for that matter!" Norbert says: "Very true! And I hear we have YOU to thank for bringing Sandy and Larry here!" Super Chum says: "It's true! It's the least I could do for them, after they helped me sort all of the recycling I collected!" Eliza says: "One last question; since you're out of the competition, who do you want to win it?" Super Chum says: "Either Spongebob or Po. They're the two most powerful contestants in the competition after me!" Norbert says: "Thank you for answering our questions, please take a seat!" And Super Chum takes a seat at the top! Darwin says: "So, you like heights, TO?!" Super Chum says: "Mostly, I want to be able to see everything AS it happens! That's why I have the best seat in the house!" Gerald says: "Good call!" Eliza says: "We've got to take a short break right now!" Norbert says: "But don't go away! Because we'll be back with some MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / I'll break here, and stop for now. Enough said, for now!

All right! We finally have a break (if you want to call interviewing a bunch of eliminated contestants a break), in the action! It's time to catch up on what's happened to the contestants, eliminated since the last "Performance Review", on this episode of "Total Cartoon Legends!" / Instead of the normal show open, a tropical jungle setting is shown, and the words: "Total Cartoon Legends: Performance Review" appear in solid gold, and clips from the previous six episodes are shown! / Wally says: "A lot can change in 20 years, but one thing that will NEVER change, is the love that I feel for Rube! And I don't want to jeopardize that future for anything!" / Stimpy asks: "Speaking of teaming up, don't you think it's high time to get into an alliance with me, Marlene, Wally, and Future Rube in order to vote the IRRITANT off?!" Marlene whispers to Spongebob, and she says: "And by 'Irritant', he MEANS Treeflower!" / Spongebob breathes a deep sigh, and he says: "Only IF Treeflower does anything bad to me, and ONLY than; than I WILL vote with Stimpy, Marlene, Wally, and Future Rube." / Treeflower gets MAD, and she SCREAMS: "I WAS BEING RUDE TO YOU!!!!" Keswick groans, and he sarcastically says: "GEE, that was a REALLY smart thing to say just now. And you WONDER why everyone else HATES you!" / Keswick mocks Treeflower, and he says: "Oh, Keswick; I'm so SMART and PRETTY! Everyone else is so UGLY and STUPID!! EVERYONE ought to listen to me and respect me, because I USED to be a C.I.T. at a REAL summer camp!" Keswick resumes his normal voice, and he says: "Does SHE even LISTEN to herself when she TALKS?!!! Someone PLEASE remind me to NEVER work with such a stuck-up snob EVER AGAIN!!" / Keswick says: "Hey! If she IS going to TRY to eliminate me anyways, I hardly think it matters WHAT I say! I just want to let HER know, SHE'S eliminating the ONLY contestant BESIDES Norbert who was EVER willing to TOLERATE her!" Stimpy says: "OOH, BURN!!!!" / Treeflower's demeanor changes, and dead-pan, she says: "Oh, look. It's Daggett; the Anti-Norbert. How YOU'VE managed to last THIS long is BEYOND me!" / Treeflower sputters, and she says: "ME?! APOLOGIZE?! As IF! What would I HAVE to apologize for?!" Pearl says: "Do you want the LONG list, or the SHORT version? And SPOILER alert; even the SHORT version goes on for 15 minutes!" / Marlene incredulously asks: "Are you SERIOUSLY trying to get ME to help you?! Besides, I would HONESTLY rather have DAGGETT win than YOU!!!!" Treeflower YELLS: "Are you CRAZY?!!!" Marlene winces, and she says: "And in CASE you were WONDERING, WHICH I highly doubt; your SCREAM is just ONE of the many reasons WHY!" / Treeflower groans, and she screams: "I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!!!!" And her voice echoes off the walls: "IDIOT! Idiot! Idiot..." Keswick pops his head in, and he says: "But I think you DO mean well!" Treeflower says: "Not now, I'm having a moment." Keswick says: "Got you!" / Bulma says: "It's about time SOMEONE realized who the MOST valuable member on this TEAM is! I mean, SERIOUSLY people!" / Treeflower sighs, and she says: "I TRIED playing it Tigress' way; it DOESN'T work, at ALL! At least THIS way, I get a little bit of respect back!" Spongebob's eyes well up, and he says: "You DO care!" / Treeflower sighs, and says: "I KNOW this is the right thing to do; doesn't make it FEEL any less AWFUL having to wait for the OTHER shoe to fall!" / Gerald nervously asks: "WHY isn't Treeflower freaking OUT?!!!" Buhdeuce rhetorically answers: "Maybe her INTENTION of LETTING Spongebob answer every question was GENUINE?!" Gerald says: "She's GOT to FREAK out! She ALWAYS freaks out!" Buhdeuce says: "That's STUPID!" Gerald says: "I'll PROVE it!" Buhdeuce says: "Oh, you don't HAVE to prove it; I believe you're being STUPID!" / Gerald scoffs, and he says: "No BEAVER is going to make ME look like a fool!" Daggett says: "Of course not! You're DOING a pretty good job of that, yourself!" / Gerald groans, and he nervously says: "Oh, that's it MAN! Game over, man! GAME OVER!" / Future Rube says: "Regardless of what happens, I feel like Wally is ALREADY a winner in MY books! He is AMAZING to me!" / Keswick asks: "You're REALLY willing to give me a second chance?!" Spongebob says: "I believe EVERYONE deserves a second chance, as long as they EARN it, first!" / Taotie asks: "A surprise? I don't like the SOUND of that!" / Yakety asks: "Has everyone REALLY been spelling my NAME wrong this WHOLE time?!" Johnny Krill is with him, and he sighs, and says: "Well, yes." Yakety yells: "FIX IT!!!!" Johnny groans: "FINE...Yakkity!" Yakkity says: "That's BETTER!" / Pearl reaches into her purse, and she says: "I've got some bobby pins I can fire at DAGGETT! And believe me, if you STEP on a fire urchin, you're GONNA have a bad time!" / Daggett scoffs, and says: "Figures! As soon as I feel the SLIGHTEST bit GOOD about my own intelligence and confidence, some SPOOTY thing has to come around and kick me DOWN a peg! I mean, if somebody WAS going to have to do a 'NASTY' on my foot in order to save me, that's SOMETHING I should be WARNED about, TEN YEARS IN ADVANCE; MINIMUM!" / Daggett says: "At least MY show actually LASTED for five seasons; which is THREE more than YOURS did!" Fee sarcastically says: "Oh, ow. I'm SO hurt! By the way, IF you die; can I have your stuff?" Harvey says: "Fee, that's BAD!!!!" Fee says: "Oh, RIGHT! WHEN you die!" Harvey says: "FEE, that's even WORSE!!!!" / Daggett says: "If you flunk THIS one, Fee; you are SO going to have to repeat a grade!" Fee says: "I'm NOT being graded!" Yakkity says: "Except for a railroad GRADE!!!!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! / Fee says: "The one thing I would LIKE to know, is when am I EVER going to need to know THAT history in REAL life?!" / Fee says: "Ix-nay on the onspiracy-cay! Johnny is OBVIOUSLY going to team up with Bulma and HELP her dig MORE than me! Get out your RULE book, and RULE check already!" / Harvey face-palms himself, and yells: "Fee, we are STRUGGLING TOGETHER!!!!" / Fee THINKS about it, and she asks: "What's the AMENDMENT that prevents me from incriminating myself in a trial AGAIN?!" / Harvey gulps nervously, and he gets an Anime sweat drop, and he says: "Boy, did I EVER pick the wrong time to put MY foot down! I did NOT think that plan through WHATSOEVER!" / Bulma turns to Bubble Bass, and she asks: "So, Bubble Bass; now that you're on OUR team, how does it feel to FINALLY be able to have conversations WORTH talking about?!" Daggett yells: "What's THAT supposed to MEAN?!" Bulma mockingly says: "What's that supposed to mean?" Than Bulma SERIOUSLY says: "SERIOUSLY, that's what you SOUND like! Do you even LISTEN to yourself when you TALK?!" / Pearl says: "Bubble Bass and I could NEVER betray each other! It's kind of a common courtesy for family members to NOT betray each other!" / Bulma says: "I will do the leading, if you don't mind! I WAS voted most LIKELY to lead at my high school graduation class WHEN I turned 14!" Daggett asks: "Leading WHAT?! A group of people TRYING to be most annoying?! Because I THINK you've already won BRONZE, Silver, AND Gold in doing THAT!" Yakkity asks: "Who WON the gold?!" / Bulma says: "You know, I WAS considering making Daggett PROVE himself in this competition! But NOPE!!!! He just HAD to open up his mouth! Bye-bye Daggett; HELLO Bubble Bass! At least HE knows knowledge when he SEES it!" / Yakkity asks: "WHAT?! 'Cryptic'? Is THAT what he's calling it now?" / Bulma opens up a bag of popcorn, and she says: "I am SO going to ENJOY this!" / Sandy says: "Showing up and potentially HUMILIATING Spongebob during a Steps of Knowledge Challenge? HARD PASS!!!!" / Daggett says: "Come ON; get the next one RIGHT already!" Taotie says: "Don't boss ME around; you're not the BOSS of me!" Daggett ruefully says: "Of COURSE I'm not; because Bulma is already doing that FOR you!" Taotie says: "In your DREAMS; you FREAKY little SHREW!" Daggett screams: "THAT DOES IT!!!!" And he engages Taotie in a "Big Ball of Violence!" Bulma laughs with glee, and she says: "I haven't had THIS much fun since I watched Barack Obama first take office on January 20, 2009!" / Taotie turns to Daggett, and Taotie angrily screams: "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!" Daggett sputters, and he replies: "MY FAULT?!" Bulma says: "Well, DUH; you idiotic, moronic, stupid, imbecilic, chuckle-headed DOPE! I TOLD you that you would BLOW that challenge for us! Now, how are we SUPPOSED to win two Pendants NOW?" Daggett says: "How about from your BIG, FAT, MOUTH?!!!" / Johnny says: "Well, folks; it seems as though we're experiencing some technical difficul--." (BOOM!!!!) / Yakkity says: "Even so; Bulma has ALWAYS been nice to me! I'm not SURE if I could just turn on her, like that!" Bubble Bass says: "Use your head! She's ONLY looking out for ONE person; and THAT'S herself! If she HAD to make a choice between YOU and herself to get to the Goddess Slot, she will ALWAYS pick herself first! And you can bet your button-up FUR on that!" / Bubble Bass says: "Thank you, Yakkity! I always KNEW you were one of the GOOD guys!" / Bulma scoffs, and she says: "I WOULD be actually WORRIED about being ELIMINATED, if I THOUGHT anyone had an ACTUAL chance of doing it! But since I WILL inevitably FIND the Immunity Pendant FIRST; that chance IMMEDIATELY drops to ZERO!" / Bulma scoffs, and she says: "I've already lost ONCE! If I'm going to LOSE again; it's NOT going to be against a DUMB-BUTT like you!" / Buhdeuce says: "You know, I WAS going to go EASY on her on the Steps of Knowledge! But NOPE!! She HAD to use the 'D' word; so now the metaphorical kid gloves are OFF!!!!" / Taotie defiantly says: "NO!!!!" Bulma ANGRILY breaks her lip-stick in two, and she angrily says: "Like; WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!!" Taotie says: "Oh, I'm SORRY! Was THAT too complicated for you? I'll TRY dumbing it down to YOUR level! DUH!!!!" / Bulma screams: "I have WORKED my fingers to the BONE to GET this FAR; and SUCK up the WORST aspects of my PERSONALITY, just so you would be willing to GIVE me the TIME of DAY!!!! After everything I've DONE for this TEAM; I DESERVE to GET THE GODDESS SLOT; and I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!!!" / Bubble Bass leans in, and yells: "WELCOME TO REAL LIFE! You want the Goddess Slot so badly? EARN IT! And SHOW some FREAKING Empathy for once!" / Bulma says: "How DARE you; you INSOLENT PEASANT?! NOBODY talks to ME that way! Nobody! NOBODY!!!!" Her voice echoes: "NOBODY! Nobody! Nobody..." / Bulma groans, winces, and she says: "Today, is SO not going to get any better for me, is it?" Bubble Bass says: "Well, I would SAY that it WOULD; but realistically, probably NOT!" Bulma says: "I'll give you points for honesty!" / Bulma nervously says: "Okay! There's NO pressure, and NO obligation to give ME anything; but will you...PLEASE answer the next question? If you do, you can keep...the Immunity Pendant!" Yakkity says: "Promise, PROMISE?!!!" Bulma exclaims: "If I'm LYING, I hope to be struck by LIGHTNING!!!!" And she ACTUALLY braces herself, as if EXPECTING lightning to hit her REGARDLESS, but NOTHING happens! Bulma says: "SEE?!!!" / Bulma groans, and she says: "It's official! I've hit ROCK bottom!" Yakkity says: "Well, if it's any consolation; when you've hit rock bottom, the only place left to go is UP; but you've got to put down the SHOVEL, first!" Bulma asks: "You...KNOW about that metaphor? Why didn't you EVER tell me?" Yakkity says: "Well, you NEVER asked!" Bulma gasps, and she says: "I'm...practically SPEECHLESS!!!!" / Keswick gasps, and he says: "Did Bulma ACTUALLY say she was practically SPEECHLESS?! IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!" And Handel's "Hallellulah Chorus" plays in the background! A choir sings: "Hallellulah! Hallellulah! Halle-halle-halle, halle-halle-halle, halleluh-lulah! Hallellulah! Hallellulah! Hallellulah..." / Marlene says: "Let's just say the reason that I'm voting off Bulma, is PAYBACK for season three!" / Bubble Bass says: "Wow! I managed to beat the BRAINIAC herself! No EASY task, I might add! From now on, everything is a personal BEST for me!" / Stimpy says: "Bulma...WAS telling the truth!" Keswick says: "Even after ALL the visual evidence, we STILL didn't believe her!" Marlene says: "It...wasn't supposed to end like THIS!" Taotie sadly says: "This...is the WORST villainous thing I have EVER done, and I wasn't even TRYING be EVIL!" Po says: "How could WE have all gotten this...so WRONG?" / Bulma says: "One last thing! I KNOW you all think that I WAS a very bad girl! But you've GOT to admit; I was very, VERY good at it!" / Future Rube gives his father a hug, and he says: "Dad...a wise man once told me; 'You can never know for SURE which decisions you make, will end up being the right ones. But, you will ALWAYS miss 100% of the time on the chances you DON'T take in life'!" Bubble Bass's eyes widen up, and he says: "Me! I'm...going to say that someday, aren't I?" / Taotie says: "I don't think we've EVER been in a scenario, where NINE contestants were tied in the karma department. There's no telling WHO Karma might decide to strike first! And since I don't want to tempt fate, I can only safely say; it COULD be ANY of us!" / Stimpy says: "Oh, GREAT! A challenge about that CRAZY French guy! I'm in trouble!" / Taotie chuckles, and he says: "Hunch is actually a pretty funny word! I wonder who thought of that?" Bubble Bass snarks back and says: "Your MOM!!!!" Yakkity says: "BURN!!!!" / Larry says: "It's getting to the point, where BUHDEUCE is honestly looking like a BETTER partner to take to the Final Three than SANDY is!" / Sandy says: "You know, it's become INCREASINGLY apparent to me, that I could actually LOSE to Buhdeuce!" / Infant Rube suddenly squeals, and he says: "D...d...d...d...DADDY!!!!" Bubble Bass gasps, and he says: "NEPTUNE! He said his FIRST word! And it was ME!!!! And it was CAUGHT on camera! I wonder how BLONDA is going to feel about that?" / Sandy says: "Well, if it's SO easy to beat Spongebob, why don't YOU do it?! Put your money where your MOUTH is, why don't you?!" / Sandy says: "I've got to say it; it SUCKS to be STUCK in the middle the way I am!" / Sniz says: "Take a look! We put the series' name on EVERYTHING! Merchandising, merchandising! Where the REAL money from the series is made! Total Cartoon the lunch-box, Total Cartoon the breakfast cereal, Total Cartoon the coloring book, Total Cartoon the T-Shirt, Total Cartoon the FLAMETHROWER!!!! The kids really LOVE that one! And last but not least, Total Cartoon the Talking Toy, ME!" / Larry says: "The rock lobster, is TAKING over!" Sandy scowls, and she angrily yells: "NO one double crosses a squirrel from Texas, and walks away without a THRASHING! Po, partner up with ME! Larry, you just BOUGHT yourself a challenge THROW DOWN!" Larry scoffs, and he says: "Fine with me! It makes the challenge more interesting, for ME!!!!" / Sandy says: "Mark my words; if you TRY to beat Spongebob, you're GOING to have a bad time!" Buhdeuce says: "Even I know what THAT'S a reference to!" / Sandy yells: "Why don't YOU just talk to my FISTS?!!!" / Larry stares in disbelieving shock, and he says: "I've been ELIMINATED, by a DUCK?!!!" Buhdeuce says: "A Breadwinner duck!" Sandy shakes her head, and she says: "If we hadn't been so FOCUSED on destroying each other, we would STILL have a CHANCE against that guy!" / The clips finally end, and the words "Total Cartoon Legends: Performance Review", flies right toward the screen to end the show open! / "Performance Review: The Legend Of The Brains!" / The show opens up proper, focusing on Norbert and Eliza sitting on their host couches, but some of the panel has notably gone MISSING from the bleachers! Norbert says: "Welcome to another Performance Review, for Total Cartoon Legends!" Eliza says: "You might have noticed that some of the panelists who HAVE been with us on the bleachers, are not here anymore." Norbert says: "That's because unfortunately, due to events that took place in the last regular episode; namely, Larry and Sandy engaging in a 'Big Ball of Violence' which destroyed HALF of the challenge arena and the insides of Olmec's Temple; Sniz needed to find a way to get some money in the budget to FIX it all, and install a new steel gate to the entrance of Olmec's Temple, so that no one can wreck it AGAIN! So, Kowalski, Private, Judy, Zim, Otto, and Jenny, sadly had to be let go." Kaput says: "It serves Zim RIGHT, I should say! Acting like he's superior to everyone else! At least I'm actually SOMEWHAT competent and sane!" Gonard says: "That really isn't SAYING much when you're using ZIM as a measuring stick of what NOT to be like!" Dog says: "And I'm surprised to say this, but I think Gonard is RIGHT!" Eliza is stunned, and she says: "Well, THAT'S surprising!" Norbert says: "That's HARDLY the only surprising thing that has happened since the LAST time we've had a Performance Review! Not only have we lost 12 MORE contestants, some of the contestants we lost, were some real HEAVY hitters, that I thought we might NEVER get to interview!" Eliza says: "While some of them were physical threats, most of them were intellectual heavyweights!" Norbert says: "That's why we're naming tonight's Performance Review, The Legend Of The Brains!" Zarbon chuckles and he says: "No wonder Judy, Zim, and Otto aren't here than. They don't have the BRAINS to qualify for BEING here!" Darwin says: "Watch yourself! You BARELY qualified to remain on the panel yourself!" Norbert says: "Speaking of panel, it's time to reveal the list of eliminated contestants, that we'll be adding to the panel tonight!" Eliza says: "Some were Green Monkeys, some were Red Jaguars, some were Orange Iguanas, and some were Purple Parrots. But however you slice it, a good number of them lasted a LOT longer than anyone thought they would!" Norbert says: "That is correct! And the list begins as follows. Someone who I REALLY wanted to make it all the way this season, TREEFLOWER!" Tigress scoffs, and she says: "THAT'S hardly surprising!" Eliza says: "Gerald, Fee, and Harvey Beaks." Norbert says: "A contestant who actually impressed me in ways I NEVER thought possible, Daggett!" Monster says: "How come he's impressed by Daggett, and NOT me?!" Heffer says: "Probably because you were ONLY eliminated in the third episode of this half-season?!" Monster says: "It's a fair cop." Eliza says: "Pearl, and someone who I thought would NEVER be eliminated the way she WAS, Bulma!" Zarbon gasps, and he says: "Bulma was ELIMINATED?! And NOT by me?! Which BRAINIAC accomplished that?!" Norbert says: "We'll find out soon enough! Keswick was eliminated." Kitty says: "Although I must say, it's impressive that he managed to outlast 31 other contestants!" Eliza says: "Taotie was eliminated." Tigress scoffs, and she says: "TOOK him long enough!" Norbert says: "Stimpy was eliminated." Haggis says: "And by an automatic elimination, no less! Otherwise, I don't see any other scenario where he COULD'VE been eliminated!" Eliza says: "And sadly, Sandy and Larry were eliminated as well." Dog shakes his head, and he says: "Poor Spongebob. I can't imagine that such an elimination WON'T upset him!" Norbert says: "Well, in any case, we're going to start with a contestant that I'VE been wanting to talk to for quite a while! And to introduce her, I'll have The Real Breadwinners, play Jefferson Starship's 'Be My Lady' for your listening pleasure!" Sway-Sway says: "All right! You heard him boys, it is TIME to get PAID!!!!" / A montage of Treeflower's best moments from her own show, as well as some from the "Total Cartoon" seasons, play, as romantic flowers surround the scenes. / Sway-Sway sings: "I just look at you and I'm hypnotized. Like I'm drowning now, drowning in your eyes. You are beautiful, past imagining. And I want you more, more than anything. And I cannot speak, and I've lost my sight! All my senses gone, lost in you tonight! And I want your love! Be my lady, be my lady, be my lady tonight! All right! Be my lady! Do I ask too much, do I want too much? Want to know you now, want to feel your touch. You just look at me, feel the fire start! Want to make you burn, want to touch your heart! And I cannot speak, and I've lost my sight! All my senses gone, lost in you tonight! And I want your love! Be my lady, be my lady, be my lady, lady; c'mon girl, be my lady tonight! All right! Be my lady! (Instrumental Break) Got a racing heart and my mind's a roar. Never felt like this, never loved before. And it's dangerous, I would willingly burn to ashes now, if you'll stay with me! And I cannot speak, and I've lost my sight! All my senses gone, lost in you tonight! And I want your love! Be my lady, you know I love you now! Be my lady! Won't you be my lady; tonight?!" / And the montage ends as Treeflower walks onstage, and Norbert gives her a hug! Gerald walks onstage, and he says: "Hey! Where's MY song?! I was eliminated in the same episode SHE was!" Norbert says: "If it were UP to me, you WOULDN'T be interviewed at ALL! It's partially YOUR fault that Treeflower is here in the FIRST place!" Darwin scoffs, and he says: "Like she could have EVER actually won even WITHOUT the Gerald factor!" Eliza says: "Not now, Darwin! I REALLY had to STRUGGLE to convince Sniz and the executives to keep you ON! Don't give them a reason to RECONSIDER that decision!" Darwin sighs, and he says: "Oh, all right!" Norbert says: "On the one hand, Treeflower! I am GLAD to have you here! But another, I'm sad that you didn't last longer!" Gerald scoffs, and he says: "Well, we all KNOW why she DIDN'T last longer!" Eliza says: "GERALD!" Gerald says: "COME ON! Drop the charade already! We all know that the REAL reason Treeflower is here, is because she's a pretentious, snobbish, vain, conceited, narcissistic DIVA that has EVER graced a competitive show!" Sway-Sway says: "Except for DIVA, don't the OTHER words all mean EXACTLY the EXACT same thing?!" Gerald says: "Irrelevant, because it's STILL all true!" Norbert says: "You're LUCKY that I CAN'T eliminate you a SECOND time!" Treeflower sighs, and she says: "No, he's right. It's all true!" Gerald says: "See?! I told you she would never--WHAT?!!" Super Chum flies in, and he says: "Stop the PRESSES! Did Treeflower just ADMIT that Gerald was RIGHT?!" Eliza says: "Not now, Super Chum! But I am glad to see you here! We'll be interviewing you a little later, okay?!" Super Chum says: "No problem, I can wait!" And he flies to the backstage area! Norbert says: "Now, why DID you say that Gerald was right, Treeflower?" Treeflower says: "Well, I THOUGHT it would be a good idea to emulate Tigress' game plan strategy!" Tigress scoffs, and she says: "Don't know how she ever got it into her head that she could POSSIBLY pull THAT idea off! There's only ONE contestant who can play the TIGRESS way, and it's ME!" Kaput scoffs, and he says: "And even YOU couldn't do that forever! In fact, you were out just ONE episode after you beat ME up as a Temple Guard!" Tigress says: "If it WEREN'T for the fact that I'm currently pregnant, I'd RIP out ALL of your hair right now, and NOT quickly, EITHER!" And Kaput grabs hold of his hair, as if NOT wanting Tigress to even TRY to carry out her threat! Treeflower says: "Look, the fact of the matter is, while it's true that I DID outlast Aang, Snaptrap, Darwin, Zim, Blonda, Dora, SOMEHOW Tigress, Dog, SOMEHOW Zarbon, and Super Chum; I don't think there was EVER an elimination that I was personally proud of, mainly because I never played to have fun! And it kind of stings me a little, to know that a good number of contestants who outlasted me, and some who continue to remain in the competition, had the secret figured out so EASILY! Honestly, I don't think I could've gotten ANY respect back, if I hadn't have given my Immunity Pendant to Spongebob! It was the first completely decent move I made during that season! And for what it's worth, I hope Spongebob wins this half-season of Total Cartoon Legends!" Norbert says: "All I know is, now I have to give some serious THOUGHT as to who I want to win this season, Treeflower! Thank you for interviewing us!" Gerald says: "Wow! I...thought you were going to interview BOTH of us?" Eliza says: "Um, it's ONLY a half-hour show!" Norbert says: "And besides; what could YOU do if we DON'T interview you?" Gerald is ACTUALLY stumped, and he says: "I don't KNOW?!" (SPLAT!!!!) And green slime rains down on him, as the "You Can't Do That On Television" theme plays! Eliza says: "And thank you, for revealing TODAY'S game that we're playing!" Norbert says: "This time, we're playing TRUTH, or SLIME!!!!" An Image of the Statue of Justice is shown, until it gets COVERED with green slime! Treeflower and Gerald take their seats, and Gerald cleans himself up, and he says: "Man! The SCHNOZBERRIES really DO taste like SCHNOZBERRIES!" Eliza says: "As Gerald has demonstrated, anytime someone tells a lie, OR; whenever WE need a good laugh after someone says; I.D.K., the slime will come down!" Norbert says: "In any case, it's time to bring out our next set of contestants!" Eliza says: "She was a girl, he was a boy. Can I make it ANYMORE obvious?" Kaput scoffs, and sarcastically says: "GEE, I DON'T Know!" (SPLAT!!!!) And green slime rains down on Kaput, to! Kaput says: "COME ON!!!! How is THAT even possible?!" Norbert says: "The slime tubes run pretty much EVERYWHERE in this building, so it can even SLIME the panel, if it wants to!" Zarbon shudders, and he says: "I'm so glad I DIDN'T say it! I'm too FOND of MY beauty!" Norbert says: "In any case, they both came from the show of Harvey Beaks! One is a sassy girl with a lot of attitude, the other is a pretty good boy with a little streak of adventure of him; give it up for Fee and Harvey Beaks!" Fee and Harvey walk onstage to thunderous applause! Haggis says: "They're only 12, and they're already THAT popular?! Usually, you have to pay EXTRA for THAT!" Eliza says: "So, it's nice to have you here, Harvey and Fee!" Harvey says: "It feels pretty good to be here, especially now that Fee is FINALLY taking history and reading SERIOUSLY!" Norbert says: "That's right! The last we heard, Sandy wouldn't rescue Fee until she answered a history question. How did THAT go?!" Fee groans, and she says: "Well, it took me FOREVER, but I FINALLY figured out the answer to the question Sandy asked me! Needless to say, I'm actually STARTING to take studying SERIOUSLY now, just so I NEVER have to be STUCK in a scenario like that again!" Eliza says: "Now, we will be interviewing Bulma later, but I want to get your thoughts right now. How do you feel about Bulma Briefs being eliminated?" Harvey says: "Quite frankly, not a lot! I mean, Bulma really didn't DO much this season, in terms of targeting Fee and me! I don't HAVE a personal vendetta against her the way I did in season three?" Norbert asks: "So, do you HAVE any feelings about Bulma one way or the other?" Harvey says: "You want to know the honest truth? I DON'T KNOW!!!!" And for some reason, a (SPLAT!!!!) happens to Haggis McHaggis! Harvey says: "You IDIOTS!!!! That SLIME wasn't for him, it was for ME!!!!" Cosmo says: "Well, your names BOTH start with an 'H', and there's like, 46 different contestants to keep track of, I can't keep EVERYONE straight!" Wanda says: "ONE would be nice!" Cosmo says: "Oh, don't pretend you don't LOVE it when I make YOU be the smart one!" Wanda says: "Which is ALL the time!" Cosmo says: "Irrelevant!" Eliza groans, and she says: "Remind me, to remind Sniz to FIRE Cosmo, AGAIN!!!! And this time, maybe see if he can STAY fired!" Norbert says: "Well, I'll try, but Cosmo SURE has a lot of DUMB luck in NOT staying fired!" Cosmo says: "And PROUD of it, to!" Eliza says: "In any case, if you don't have any strong feelings about Bulma; is there anything you wish you had done differently during the competition?" Fee says: "Well, for starters, I would've studied BEFORE coming here, so that I wouldn't have been stumped by the questions!" Harvey says: "And I would've been more patient with Fee! Not everyone is as fast as a reader as I am!" Norbert says: "Now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Fee says: "It's got to be Marlene! She's the only female left in the competition!" Harvey says: "Either Spongebob or Buhdeuce, depending on which one of them makes it to the Final Three!" Eliza says: "Thank you for your time, you may take your seats!" And Harvey and Fee take a low seat next to Tigress! Tigress says: "Do you two HAVE to sit next to me?!" Fee says: "Why not? You've GOT to get used to children being around YOU sooner or later, since you WILL be having them!" Tigress groans, and she says: "Now I know the TRUE drawbacks of being pregnant!" Norbert says: "Back from cleaning the Pacific Ocean as much as he could, he's a super-hero, and a paragon of virtue and justice, give it up for Super Chum!" And Super Chum flies on-stage to loud applause! Treeflower says: "It's AMAZING how such a strong superhero, didn't manage to make his show last longer!" Harvey says: "I blame executive meddling!" Eliza says: "So, now that you're here, you have to tell us if there was something you WISH you could've done during the competition?" Super Chum says: "Well, if I had known that Jenny was going to malfunction and say a 'No-no' word, I would've stuck around to stop it! Such language is unacceptable in a world like ours, or any other for that matter!" Norbert says: "Very true! And I hear we have YOU to thank for bringing Sandy and Larry here!" Super Chum says: "It's true! It's the least I could do for them, after they helped me sort all of the recycling I collected!" Eliza says: "One last question; since you're out of the competition, who do you want to win it?" Super Chum says: "Either Spongebob or Po. They're the two most powerful contestants in the competition after me!" Norbert says: "Thank you for answering our questions, please take a seat!" And Super Chum takes a seat at the top! Darwin says: "So, you like heights, TO?!" Super Chum says: "Mostly, I want to be able to see everything AS it happens! That's why I have the best seat in the house!" Gerald says: "Good call!" Eliza says: "We've got to take a short break right now!" Norbert says: "But don't go away! Because we'll be back with some MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / I'll break here, and stop for now. Enough said, for now!

13 years, that means this website has been active longer than the combined runs of the original "Ren & Stimpy" series, and "The Angry Beavers" put together! Let's try and stick around to see what other milestones we can accomplish! Enough said, true believers!

It's another long re-run, so I'll just get right to it! / Before the episode starts proper, an episode disclaimer appears at the start of the episode. It reads as follows: "The following episode, based around Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland, contains references to drug usage. The author personally, does not condone the usage of drugs except when used for medicinal, and responsible purposes. Any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental, and should not be inferred. ~ Jason Cantu." / Sniz is on top of the Steps of Knowledge, and he says: "Last time, on Total Cartoon Legends; the Green Monkeys and the Purple Parrots were left reeling, after the discovery that Bulma Briefs had been telling the truth; and they eliminated her for NOTHING! Desperate to heal their Karma, the contestants went to great lengths to make amends for their mistake! Taotie ended up paying for his mistake PHYSICALLY, as nearly EVERY single meatball cannon shot that was fired, ended up hitting him! Stimpy on the other hand, realizing that he was flawed as anyone else, decided that he needed to put HIMSELF on the line, in order to heal his own karma; mostly because, he felt like he needed to talk to Ren again! I don't completely understand his train of thought on that, but that's his OWN personal agenda! In any case, at the end of the challenge, the Red Jaguars won the most points, with Buhdeuce winning the Temple Run! At the end of the challenge, Taotie and Stimpy had the least points out of everyone, and they ended up taking a Mine Cart Ride out of the game! Not only that, but the Purple Parrots were dissolved, with Bubble Bass and Yakkity Yak winding up on the Green Monkeys, and Po winding up on the Red Jaguars! Now, we are down to TWO teams! And only a couple of Double Eliminations remain! In the mean-time, things are about to get surreal, on a very PSYCHEDELIC episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "It's FAR OUT, Man!" / Instead of the normal show opening, it shows all of the remaining contestants' most surreal moments from their own shows, and the "Total Cartoon" series, shown warped and distorted, and set to the tune of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit"! / (Instrumental Opening) Grace Slick sings: "One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small. And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall! And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall, tell them a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call. And call Alice when she was just small. When the men on the chessboard, get up and tell you where to go; and you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low; go ask Alice! I think she'll know! When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead; and the White Knight is talking backwards, and the Red Queen's 'Off with her head'! Remember what the dormouse said; feed your head! Feed your head!" / And the montage and song ends! / "The Legend Of The Lost Teacup of Lewis Carroll!" / Bubble Bass and Yakkity Yak, have brought their belongings from their old trailers, into the area of the hotel, being used by the Green Monkeys! Marlene says: "Welcome to our NOT so humble abode! With any luck, it will be YOUR home away from home, for a good while!" Bubble Bass says: "So, THIS is part of the secret to the Green Monkey's great success! I would've expected no less from Spongebob Squarepants! Truly, reports of your so-called 'Ineptitude', have been GREATLY exaggerated!" Spongebob is puzzled, and says: "Thank you?" Bubble Bass says: "I was HONESTLY giving you a COMPLIMENT! Clearly, if you can last THIS long in a competition, outlasting TWO other champs so far, than Sniz placing you on the Green Monkeys, CLEARLY wasn't a fluke! I mean, I actually had to EARN my right to be on THIS team! But you; it looks like you are where you were ALWAYS meant to be! Spongebob, I've always known you to be a culinary genius; but now, I have to admit that you're a TECHNICAL genius as well!" Spongebob says: "Well, I do spend a lot of spare time reading; I ABSORBED a lot of facts!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! Yakkity laughs, and he says: "Sponge humor! That's clever!" Future Rube says: "Dad, you being in the same team as me, isn't going to be a problem, is it?" Bubble Bass says: "I don't see why it SHOULD be! You want to win, just as much as I do! Now I obviously have no way of KNOWING how it's going to go down; all I know is that, you need to do what you FEEL you need to do! I just want to let you know, that you shouldn't expect me to go EASY on you! After all, you need to learn that you HAVE to earn your wins; even against your dad!" Future Rube says: "I wouldn't expect anything less!" Wally says: "But what can we expect now? I mean, we're down to just two teams. It won't be much longer before the remaining contestants merge!" Yakkity says: "I personally have NO way of knowing! Being a NEW contestant, I honestly never EXPECTED to get this far! But now that I have, I might as well try to EARN my 'Legend' status the best that I can!" Spongebob says: "And personally, I've never been put INTO the role of a leader for my team, before! And I think Sandy has been TRYING to avoid it for as long as she could, but I think we'll soon be pitted AGAINST each other!" Bubble Bass winces, and he says: "THAT...is SO not a good thing! And not just for the OBVIOUS reasons!" Future Rube asks: "Why is THAT?!" Marlene says: "It's a classic 'Catch-22' scenario! If Spongebob BEATS Sandy, she will RESENT him for actually BEING better than her for the REST of his LIFE!" Spongebob says: "Not true! I outlasted Sandy in season two, and SHE didn't get upset, than!" Wally says: "That was different! You didn't personally ELIMINATE Sandy in that season, and she KNOWS it! One way or the other, one of you MIGHT be leaving at the end of this challenge!" Yakkity says: "It's up to you, Spongebob. Just know that whatever choice you make, we're behind you all the way." Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Sandy wouldn't just give up and avoid the challenge. We can't afford to do that either. Even if it SEEMS like a mathematical impossibility, we need to play with 110% of OUR playing ability! It's our best chance of coming out on top over the Red Jaguars!" Marlene says: "WOW! That IS very bold of you!" Spongebob says: "I guess Bubble Bass' bravery is rubbing off on me!" Bubble Bass' eyes widen up, and he asks: "Do you REALLY think I'm brave?!" Spongebob says: "Of course I do! You're honest, you've done an AMAZING job raising Infant Rube, and you've really learned how to be a great father, thanks to FUTURE Rube! Bubble Bass, Rube is LUCKY to have a father like you!" Bubble Bass says: "Wow! Praised by Spongebob himself! Well, I think we all know what we have to do in the upcoming challenge! We ALL have to be the best versions of ourselves, and play to the best of our abilities, whatever comes our way!" Wally says: "No need to worry about me! With Future Rube as my witness, you can count on me; Admiral Wally, his Smartness!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "Admittedly, probably not EVERY contestant who's been ON the Green Monkeys; were equally capable of winning this season! But that doesn't mean that it didn't hurt me a little inside every time our team lost a contestant. But now that the rest of us are still here, there's no more room for second-guessing myself! Sandy's going to come roaring out of the starting gate, and I need to be prepared for that! Even if that's not what Sandy is prepared for, it's what I need to do! Or what kind of a team leader am I? A rhetorical question by the way, don't answer that!" / Marlene says: "I admit, I had TROUBLE getting recognition during the EARLY phase of this season! But now, that it's down to a core 12, I feel like I finally have room to breathe, and be a key player in these games! It won't be easy to make it to the Final Three AGAIN, but I feel like I'm UP to the challenge!" / Wally says: "Now that Bubble Bass is on the same team with Future Rube and me, I feel like our team's bonds, strong as they are; have only gotten that much stronger! I don't know how much unity the Red Jaguars have; but I know that if we face each struggle together, we'll emerge from this game show as STILL great friends! And some of us, even MORE than that!" / Yakkity says: "My personal test this season, has been surviving all the team shuffles that I've had to endure! But despite the constant team changes, the fact remains that I have managed to make it all the way HERE! I'm actually CLIMBING the summit, of the metaphorical mountain of legends! All that's left, is to reach the peak!" / Bubble Bass is feeding Infant Rube a bottle of milk, and Infant Rube IS starting to look a little bigger! Bubble Bass says: "This competition has DEFINITELY been a test of my mental resources, in more ways than one! After all, when a baby needs EVERYTHING from you; any other priorities have to come second! I'm just lucky that I'm as smart as I am; I feel prepared for just about anything!" And Infant Rube suddenly squeals, and he says: "D...d...d...d...DADDY!!!!" Bubble Bass gasps, and he says: "NEPTUNE! He said his FIRST word! And it was ME!!!! And it was CAUGHT on camera! I wonder how BLONDA is going to feel about that?" / Future Rube glances to the camera, and he says: "Even though I lived it and I can SEE it, it's STILL hard to believe I was REALLY that small!" (End Confessional) Meanwhile, the Red Jaguars are having a discussion of their own, in the hotel lobby! Larry sighs, and he says: "Sandy, you know that I COMPLETELY respect you, and all the personal decisions that you have had to make, in order to keep us here." Sandy sighs, and she says: "And HERE'S where the 'But' comes in!" Larry says: "BUT, that does not mean that every decision you have made has turned out well for us!" Buhdeuce says: "We've got Po on our side now! How is THAT not a good decision?!" Sandy says: "If he's referring to the fact that we DON'T have Bubble Bass on our team, I would like to remind LARRY that it was HIS idea, to NOT have another champ on our team!" Larry says: "A decision that I still STAND by, for YOUR information! I'm talking about your decision to NOT directly face off against Spongebob in a competition of this nature!" Sandy shouts: "Spongebob is a DELICATE FLOWER!!!! He would WILT if he was CRUSHED by my full potential!" Dudley asks: "Are you deliberately NOW ignoring the fact that Spongebob ONCE turned FULL Super Saiyan 2? That does NOT scream 'Delicate Flower' to me!" Chameleon says: "And besides, a delicate flower looks like THIS!" And Chameleon transforms himself into a glass tulip, before changing back to normal! Po says: "And let's not forget, Spongebob personally bested Aang, Snaptrap, Darwin, and Treeflower in this competition, and MOST of them weren't exactly lightweights! As a matter of fact, I have to wonder! SURELY those facts haven't slipped your mind! I want to know; what is the REAL reason you're holding back?!" Buhdeuce gasps, and it DAWNS on him as he says: "She's AFRAID that Spongebob WILL turn Super Saiyan 2 again!" Larry gasps, and he asks: "REALLY?! Is that TRUE, Sandy?!" Sandy nods her head sadly, and she says: "Yes." Dudley says: "WOW! No wonder Sandy has been handling Spongebob with kid gloves so far! We had almost FORGOTTEN about THAT elephant in the room!" Chameleon says: "But we don't HAVE any elephant, unless you want ME to turn into one!" Po says: "It's a completely METAPHORICAL elephant!" Chameleon says: "Oh, right!" Larry says: "Sandy, I REALLY don't think Spongebob will go Super Saiyan 2, JUST to win a STUPID competition! Besides, he LOVES you, and he would NEVER want to hurt you!" Buhdeuce says: "Besides; you're only crazy angry the FIRST time you turn into a Super Saiyan 2! On subsequent cases, you're able to control your anger!" Sandy asks: "Have YOU ever personally turned into a Super Saiyan 2?" Buhdeuce says: "No, but that's BESIDE the point!" Larry says: "Sandy, you LOST the game once, because you underestimated MY brains and skills! Don't make the same mistake against Spongebob, because you underestimated HIS brains and skills!" Sandy says: "Well, if it's SO easy to beat Spongebob, why don't YOU do it?! Put your money where your MOUTH is, why don't you?!" Larry is taken aback, but he scoffs, and he says: "FINE! It will be EASY! I outlasted Spongebob in a competition TWICE, I can CERTAINLY do it again! But mark my words; IF I beat Spongebob, you WON'T be far behind, Sandy!" Sandy asks: "But why?!" Buhdeuce says: "I think he's saying that, in terms of team leaders, WE can do BETTER!" Larry says: "Not the way I would've put it, but yes!" (Confessional) Sandy sighs, and she says: "I've been DREADING having to face Spongebob in competition, all because he HAS the ability to turn Super Saiyan 2! Even if he IS able to control the anger impulses, he's STILL far stronger than the rest of us, save MAYBE for Po, put together! If Larry wants a crack at Spongebob, he can have AT it! I personally, want NOTHING to do with it!" / Larry says: "Look; I have spent roughly the past 20 of my 24 years of life, working and training to get the strong body that I have! What kind of athlete would I be, if I let a sponge with LESS than roughly THREE months of training, beat me in a competition?! A rhetorical question by the way, don't answer it!" / Buhdeuce says: "A Super Saiyan 2 Transformation?! That would be a REAL Breadwinner move! The trouble is, you can't just start OFF having that kind of transformation! Like Spongebob, you NEED a traumatic trigger, in order to access that kind of power and strength! Personally, I'd rather NOT have to undergo THAT kind of a transformation unless I really HAD to! After all, it's DANGEROUS to lose yourself to an anger and rage THAT strong!" / Po says: "Can I take on a Super Saiyan 2? That's hard to know. And I personally DON'T want to have to answer that question unless I absolutely HAVE to! The Dragon Warrior DOESN'T fight, just for the SAKE of fighting! He fights to protect those, who can't protect themselves!" / Dudley says: "Personally, I think Sandy and Larry are starting to worry about their chances for winning! And quite frankly, it's hard to blame them! I mean, there ARE only two of them on the Red Jaguars, and four contestants NOT from Spongebob Squarepants, counting me, are competing against them! So, unless we win this challenge; they're going to be on the cutting block, and I DON'T mean for sushi!" / Chameleon says: "Look, if it comes right down to it, I HAVE to vote with Buhdeuce, Dudley, and Po, and vote off Sandy and Larry! Larry, because he's already won; and Sandy will inevitably team up with Spongebob if she makes it to the team merge! It's purely a strategic decision, on my part!" (End Confessional) It is morning, and everyone is in the cafeteria, eating breakfast. Johnny Krill says: "You know, if someone told me at the START of this season, that out of the four teams, we'd wind up with only two; I would've played a LOT harder to make it as a contestant!" General Barracuda scoffs, and he says: "Like you would've had the BRAINS to actually do it! Even BUHDEUCE has more competent skills than you; and he's undergone MORE transformations than you can shake a stick at!" Johnny Krill sighs, and he says: "It's a fair cop!" Suddenly, Sniz rings a gong, and over the loud-speakers, Sniz says: "Attention contestants! Breakfast time is over! Just a reminder, Taotie and Stimpy were eliminated at the last competition; Bubble Bass and Yakkity Yak are now on the Green Monkeys, and Po is now on the Red Jaguars! In other words, the Purple Parrots are no more! Please proceed to the Moat to find out about today's challenge! That is all!" Spongebob looks over to Sandy, and he says: "Well, this is it! No turning back, now!" Sandy sighs, and she says: "Spongebob, I WON'T be challenging you; Larry is!" Spongebob says: "But if you DON'T face me, won't THAT put you at risk?" Sandy says: "Well, we have no way of KNOWING who's going to win THIS challenge; even Future Rube doesn't know! If you WANT to stay, you're going to have to beat Larry! It's that SIMPLE!" Larry says: "HEY! Whose side are you on, ANYWAYS?!" Sandy groans, and she says: "DON'T be like THAT! This is HARD enough for me, as it is!" (Confessional) Sandy says: "I've got to say it; it SUCKS to be STUCK in the middle the way I am!" / Spongebob says: "Sandy doesn't want to confront me! WHY?!" And Spongebob gasps, as it finally DAWNS on him! Spongebob says: "The Super Saiyan 2 Transformation! She must be AFRAID that she'll somehow trigger that form of mine! But I promised I would NEVER use that form unless it was an ACTUAL emergency! And if Sandy doesn't HONESTLY realize that...she's in trouble!" / Larry says: "I think that given the circumstances, I've been EXTREMELY patient and forgiving with Sandy up until now! But, she's GOING to have to make a CHOICE; her team, or her husband! And good luck with coming up with a POSSIBLE third option in THAT scenario!" (End Confessional) The contestants suit up into their team colors, and head for the Moat! Sniz says: "Welcome contestants! At long last, we have FINALLY reached the number of players that an ACTUAL episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple started off with on each episode! Of course, by the end of today, we will be eliminating two more contestants! One team will win, one team will lose. It's that simple! Of course, today's challenge may be ANYTHING but simple! Olmec, tell us what today's Legend is!" Olmec says: "Today's legend, is the Lost Teacup of Lewis Carroll!" Buhdeuce asks: "WAIT! Can we LEGALLY reference that legend?" Po says: "Technically, we can! You see, Lewis Carroll's original book Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, was originally written in 1865! And since we're ONLY referencing the book, we can legally do that, given that the actual book has LONG since fallen into the public domain!" Marlene says: "Thank goodness for the public domain! It's not just for High School Book Reports anymore!" Sniz says: "In any case, we're going to re-enact a scene from the book! At one point, Alice grew SO tall, she LITERALLY cried a lake full of tears, which she later had to get out of, when she shrunk by down to size! Therefore, in crossing the Moat, you will ride in an over-sized bottle, from one of the Moat, to the other! Each team will be divided into groups of three, with the end result being that two bottles from each team gets across! Once every member of each team gets across, they will ring their Gong Pedestal, in order to win a Pendant of Life, that they will need for the Temple Run! Spongebob, Marlene, and Yakkity will be the first group for the Green Monkeys; Larry, Dudley, and Chameleon will be the first group for the Red Jaguars, and the other contestants will be in the second group! And since you'll be traveling in bottles, what better way to mark the occasion, than with The Police song, 'Message In A Bottle'?" Po asks: "Wait! How are WE able to AFFORD to use all of these songs, anyways?!" Sniz says: "MERCHANDISING!" Wally asks: "Merchandising?" Sniz says: "Sure! I'll show you! Johnny Krill, open up the store!" Johnny opens up a HUGE merchandise store, and a BUNCH of "Total Cartoon" related merchandise appears in it! Sniz says: "Take a look! We put the series' name on EVERYTHING! Merchandising, merchandising! Where the REAL money from the series is made! Total Cartoon the lunch-box, Total Cartoon the breakfast cereal, Total Cartoon the coloring book, Total Cartoon the T-Shirt, Total Cartoon the FLAMETHROWER!!!! The kids really LOVE that one! And last but not least, Total Cartoon the Talking Toy, ME!" Sniz pushes a button on his action figure, and it says: "Don't forget to be a loyal viewer, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Sniz kisses it, and he says: "It's POPULAR with the ladies!" (Confessional) Po says: "Well, mystery solved!" / Marlene says: "FIGURES that most of these legends HAVE come from the Public Domain! How ELSE could Sniz AFFORD to give us some REWARD incentives after some of these challenges?!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "In any case, you know the drill, so I'll let you get right to it! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" / During the montage, the first group of contestants get across the moat just fine. But Sandy and Buhdeuce REALLY have to struggle, due to Po's immense MUSCLE weight, slowing their progress down! / Sting sings: "Just a castaway, an island lost at sea! Another lonely day, with no one here but me! More loneliness, than any man could bear! Rescue me before I fall into despair! I'll send an SOS to the world! I'll send an SOS to the world! I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle! Message in a bottle! A year has passed since I wrote my note; but I should have known this right from the start! Only hope can keep me together! Love can mend your life, but love can break your heart! I'll send an SOS to the world! I'll send an SOS to the world! I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle! Message in a bottle. Oh, message in a bottle. Message in a bottle. Walked out this morning; don't believe what I saw! A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore! Seems I'm not alone at being alone! A hundred billion castaways, looking for a home! I'll send an SOS to the world! I'll send an SOS to the world! I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle! Message in a bottle. Message in a bottle. Message in a bottle. Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS!" / And the song fades out, as the challenge ends as the Green Monkeys finish crossing first! Sniz says: "And the Green Monkeys have done it! They have finished crossing, and they win a Pendant of Life, that they will need for the Temple Run!" Spongebob says: "Good work, everybody! We all did it together!" Larry turns to Sandy, and he scoffs: "Hmph! It seems like Spongebob is doing perfectly FINE for himself in this challenge! Maybe YOU'RE worried over NOTHING!" Sandy says: "Super Saiyan 2 ISN'T nothing!" Spongebob says: "You're honestly WORRIED about that?! Sandy, you HAVE my promise! I am not, COULD not, and would NEVER turn into a Super Saiyan 2 against you! There are NO circumstances that could EVER--!" Marlene screams: "DON'T SAY IT!! I know, the possibility is a very, very, TINY possibility; but it STILL exists! If you FINISH that sentence the way you WANT to, you WILL inevitably be FACED with whether you will KEEP your word, or have to BREAK the promise that you made! And I guarantee you, Karma WILL find a way to test your resolve!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "LIKELY make me turn into a Super Saiyan 2 in this competition; but I would NEVER stop being who I am because of that! And THAT is a promise, that I CAN keep!" Marlene nods her head, and she says: "That's better!" Sniz says: "We've got to get everybody dried off, but don't go away! Because we'll be right back with MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / After the commercials end, the contestants have gathered at the Steps Of Knowledge! Buhdeuce asks: "Another SHORT commercial break?!" Po says: "That can only mean that Sniz is worried about the CONTENT of this challenge again!" Wally says: "Well, at least NONE of us are robots; and we ALL know better than to say ANYTHING that's NOT suitable for television!" Bubble Bass says: "Right! Bulma's elimination certainly took care of THAT problem!" Sniz arrives, and he says: "It's true! I want to keep this episode done as quickly as possible! No muss, no fuss, no asparagus, unless you happen to LIKE that sort of thing!" Chameleon says: "Sometimes with butter! I'm pretty sure it helps keep my skin green!" Sniz says: "Well, in any case, seeing as how there are only two teams; we'll have to do the Steps of Knowledge a bit differently! Four contestants from each team will answer questions. HOWEVER, only the two contestants from each team, that make it down to the bottom of the Steps of Knowledge, will get to compete in the Challenge Arena! So, it will take a good combination of knowledge AND skill to prevail in this challenge! With that being said, you shall decide, who will volunteer for the Steps of Knowledge!" Spongebob says: "Bubble Bass, even though we've had some differences in the past, I can think of nobody better to help me win the Steps of Knowledge, than you!" Bubble Bass says: "Well in that case, I will do the best I can to help you!" Future Rube says: "I'm not ready to face against my father just yet. Marlene, will you and Yakkity be the other group?" Marlene says: "Sure! I'll give it a shot! I've never worked with a yak before, but there's a first time for everything!" Yakkity says: "Awesome! I'm with Miss Congeniality herself!" Larry asks: "MISS Congeniality? Is THAT what they're calling her now? In any case, I'm partnering with BUHDEUCE!" Sandy yells in shock: "WHAT?! You'd pick HIM, over ME?! After everything I've DONE for this team?!" Larry scoffs, and he says: "If you did HALF as much for this team as you SAID you did, our team numbers wouldn't have GOTTEN this LOW, at this point in the game! It's OBVIOUS you need a vacation! I think circumstances FORCE us to CHOOSE a new leader! And I pick, ME!!!!" Sandy growls, and she says: "Who does this invertebrate think he's DEALING with, ANYWAYS?!" Larry says: "The rock lobster, is TAKING over!" Sandy scowls, and she angrily yells: "NO one double crosses a squirrel from Texas, and walks away without a THRASHING! Po, partner up with ME! Larry, you just BOUGHT yourself a challenge THROW DOWN!" Larry scoffs, and he says: "Fine with me! It makes the challenge more interesting, for ME!!!!" Dudley turns to Chameleon, and Dudley says: "The Red Jaguars are about to TEAR themselves apart!" Chameleon nods in agreement, and he says: "I think you're right! And I don't know, if there's anything we can do, to STOP it!" Sniz says: "Well, in any case; it's time we get on with the Steps of Knowledge! If either group of Green Monkeys is the first one down, they will receive an Immunity Pendant! Otherwise, they'll have to find it in the Challenge Arena! Olmec, take it away please!" Olmec says: "Although he was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on January 27, 1832 in Daresbury, England; this man would gain literary fame under his pen name, Lewis Carroll! His works have been praised for their word play, and contrasts between logic and fantasy! Lewis Carroll was initially home schooled, and did not go to a proper school until he was 12, when he attended the Richmond Grammar School in Richmond, North Yorkshire. Although he grew to a height of six feet and was rather slender, Lewis Carroll had to struggle with health problems, such as being deaf in one ear, and Lewis Carroll struggled as he spoke with a stammer, and often had to stand up to bullies, who were bullying younger children. Even so, Lewis Carroll excelled scholastically, and in May 1850, he became matriculated at the University of Oxford! In 1852, he obtained first class honors in Mathematics Moderations, and eventually graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1854! Although Lewis Carroll started writing and publishing poetry and short stories for various magazines between 1854 through 1856, it wasn't until Lewis Carroll took a maritime trip with Henry Liddell, and his daughter, Alice Liddell; the later said to be the inspiration for the LITERARY Alice, did inspiration truly strike him! The legend says, that while Lewis Carroll was having a cup of tea in his teacup, that Lewis Carroll imagined the adventures of a girl in a fantasy land, who would grown and shrink in size, based on what she ate or drank! Although it initially had the title of Alice's Adventure's Under Ground, it was published in 1865, as Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland! Despite rumors by some, that the book contained hidden drug references, no serious evidence has even been uncovered to indicate that the actual book HAS any drug usage! Although Lewis Carroll published 29 other literary works, only the sequel to Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland, Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There, ever sold better than his first book! Lewis Carroll passed away due to Pneumonia, on January 14, 1898. His Teacup was nowhere to be found, until it found it's way to the Temple! Your job, is to retrieve the Lost Teacup of Lewis Carroll, and bring it back here!" Sniz says: "Thanks, Olmec! Where can the Lost Teacup of Lewis Carroll be found?" Olmec says: "The Lost Teacup can be found in the Rose Hedge Maze!" Sniz says: "All right! You know the drill, I will let you take it from here! Olmec, start your questions!" Olmec asks: "What was Lewis Carroll's birth name?" Spongebob rings in and Bubble Bass answers: "Charles Lutwidge Dodgson!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move DOWN a step! Larry asks: "WELL? Are you EVER going to make a MOVE, Sandy?" Sandy says: "That depends. When are YOU going to make one?!" Buhdeuce says: "Normally, I LIKE a good challenge, but you're BOTH getting a little TOO intense!" Larry asks: "INTENSE?! I'll show HER intense!" Olmec asks: "When and where was Lewis Carroll born?" Larry ring in and answers: "On January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, England!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Larry and Buhdeuce move down a step! Larry says: "SEE? I'm not AFRAID of Spongebob!" Sandy says: "Mark my words; if you TRY to beat Spongebob, you're GOING to have a bad time!" Buhdeuce says: "Even I know what THAT'S a reference to!" Olmec asks: "True or false, Lewis Carroll was home-schooled until he was 12?" Yakkity rings in, and Marlene answers: "True!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Yakkity and Marlene move down a step! Marlene says: "I know you're both REALLY interested in destroying each other! But don't forget, there ARE other players in this mix as well!" Po says: "I know that, YOU know that! But TRY telling Sandy and Larry THAT!" Olmec asks: "What was the first school that Lewis Carroll attended?" Po rings in and Sandy answers: "The Richmond Grammar School in Richmond, North Yorkshire!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Po and Sandy move down a step! Larry says: "Your answer proves NOTHING, Sandy! It's NOT going to get me to STOP! The only way to make sure that I DON'T beat Spongebob, is to beat him yourself! But are you WILLING to do that, is the question?!" Po says: "Sandy, there's no shame in walking away from a challenge that HAS no winners!" Sandy says: "There is NO one tougher than ME, remaining! I will show YOU what I'm made of!" Wally shakes his head, and he says: "This is SO going to end badly!" Olmec asks: "What were some of the various health problems that Lewis Carroll had?" Spongebob rings in, and Bubble Bass answers: "He was deaf in one ear, and he spoke with a stammer!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "Spongebob, I know you're NOT going to like this idea, but you've GOT to get the next question right, or VIOLENCE will break out between Sandy and Larry!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "You're right, Bubble Bass. It IS the lesser of two evils!" Olmec asks: "In what University did Lewis Carroll get matriculated at?" Yakkity rings in, and Marlene answers: "The University of Oxford in 1850!" Olmec says: "That is correct! And Marlene and Yakkity move down a step! Marlene says: "Hope you don't mind that I join you!" Bubble Bass asks: "Are you CRAZY?! Larry and Sandy are on the VERGE of destroying each other, and they don't need any additional prodding from YOU to stoke their metaphorical fire!" Yakkity says: "Come on! She was JOKING! She does that!" Bubble Bass says: "There is a time and a PLACE for joking, and it is certainly NOT now!" Olmec asks: "What did Lewis Carroll graduate with?" Buhdeuce rings in and answers: "A Bachelor of Arts, in 1854!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Buhdeuce and Larry move down a step! Larry says: "The moment of TRUTH is upon you! What are YOU going to do?" Sandy seriously says: "Oh, you'll SEE what I'll do soon enough!" Po gulps nervously, and he says: "Why do I not like the sound of THAT?!" Wally says: "Probably, for the same reasons I don't!" Olmec asks: "Who was said to be inspiration, for the literary Alice?" Sandy rings in and answers: "Alice Liddell!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Sandy and Po move down a step! Larry says: "Last CHANCE, Sandy! Make a move, or I WILL!!!!" Chameleon says: "This is TOO intense! I can't WATCH this!" And Chameleon turns into a blindfold, and wraps himself around Dudley's eyes! Dudley says: "Look, I LIKE being next to you, but this is a little MUCH!" Olmec asks: "What was the original planned title, of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland?" And while EVERYONE darts for their buzzer, Spongebob ACTUALLY taps into Super Saiyan SPEED to reach his first, and he answers: "Alice's Adventure's Under Ground!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "Spongebob and Bubble Bass are in it for the Green Monkeys! And one of you gets the Immunity Pendant!" Bubble Bass says: "I think YOU better take it, Spongebob! I think you'll need it a LOT more than I will!" Spongebob says: "Thank you; but this challenge is NOT over yet!" Sniz says: "Quite right! TWO Red Jaguars need to FINISH this challenge!" Sandy says: "And Larry, YOU failed! Spongebob is BETTER than you; just ADMIT it!" Larry says: "I'll admit to NOTHING, until I LITERALLY wipe the floor with him on the Challenge Arena! I'm NOT letting him BEAT me!" Sandy says: "Not if I BEAT you first!" Larry says: "You'll do no such thing, because THAN, you'd have to try to beat SPONGEBOB, and YOU would NEVER do that! Now, why don't you just RELAX while I WIN?!" Sandy yells: "Why don't YOU just talk to my FISTS?!!!" And before Larry realizes it, Larry and Sandy are in a "Big Ball Of Violence!" Wally yells: "Out of the WAY! A whirlwind of Tom & Jerry proportions are blowing through!" And everyone quickly GETS out of the way of Sandy's and Larry's melee, as they THRASH their way THROUGH the Challenge Arena, and through MOST of the rooms in Olmec's Temple! They come out of the Temple, and Sniz finally shouts: "ENOUGH!!" And Sandy's and Larry's melee finally dissipates! Sniz yells: "What's the idea of BUSTING up the Challenge Arena and Olmec's Temple?! Just LOOK at the damage you caused! It took Johnny Krill TWELVE hours to set up this entire challenge, now HALF of it's BROKEN!!!! This is UNACCEPTABLE behavior, for BOTH of you! You are BOTH receiving 4 penalty votes IMMEDIATELY at the Elimination Ceremony!" Larry yells: "WHAT?! You CAN'T tell us WE'RE attending the Elimination Ceremony! Our TEAM hasn't even LOST yet!" Sniz says: "Well, if you hadn't have BROKEN the Challenge Arena, you would BOTH still have a chance! But seeing as the Challenge Arena and Olmec's Temple are now in disrepair, we now CAN'T do those challenges, and we don't have the TIME in this episode to fix it up! Therefore, since your team LOST at the Steps of Knowledge, your TEAM loses by default!" Sandy growls at Larry, and she says: "You just HAD to try to take command away from me, DIDN'T you?!" Larry rhetorically asks: "And WATCH as you just SURRENDERED yourself to LET Spongebob win? You WISH!" Sniz sighs, and he says: "Green Monkeys, go ahead and take the night off! The Red Jaguars have an APPOINTMENT with the Elimination Ceremony!" Bubble Bass rushes to Sandy, and Bubble Bass says: "Don't worry about a thing, Sandy! I'm not forgetting the promise that I made to you earlier! If you happen to get eliminated first, I will do what I can to keep Spongebob safe!" Sandy sighs in relief, and she says: "Thank you, I needed to hear that!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Sandy, you shouldn't have HESITATED against Larry! You should KNOW that I wouldn't have felt humiliated if you HAD beaten me in the Steps of Knowledge! I NEVER cared on previous occasions when you were smarter than me, before. You never HAD to hold back!" Sandy sighs, and she says: "I...was so WORRIED that Karma was going to target you, for YOUR role in Bulma's elimination, I guess I internalized YOUR problem, and tried to take care of it myself! I...didn't handle myself well! But Spongebob; you have to promise me that regardless of the outcome of tonight's elimination ceremony, you'll get through the rest of these challenges the best that you can!" Spongebob says: "Don't worry, Sandy. You HAVE my promise!" Sandy says: "Thank you! I'll be all right, ONE way or the other! And I KNOW the same will hold true for you!" (Confessional) Sandy sighs, and she says: "That's the PROBLEM with being in a team full of ALPHA Wolves! Eventually, it gets to the point where every single member of your pack, wants to be the ONLY Alpha Wolf within it! At least, Spongebob didn't end up being demeaned to either Larry OR me, so at least I have a moral victory on my hands!" / Larry exclaims: "Wow! I KNEW Sandy was determined to NOT let Spongebob be humiliated, but I didn't think she would be THAT determined! She COMPLETELY threw away her OWN chance at winning, just so I WOULDN'T show up Spongebob! Although, it remains to be seen if her sacrifice will be WORTH it! After all, she's STILL leaving Spongebob at the potential mercy of nine other contestants! And there is now NOTHING she can do, to stop anything that might come Spongebob's way!" / Po sighs, and he says: "Tigress, WHY did you have to influence the ENTIRE Red Jaguar's team to be like THIS?! I mean, THIS is what happens when OTHERS try to emulate you! It does NOT end well!" / Dudley says: "The damage caused by Larry and Sandy was NOTHING short of AMAZING, in a destructive sort of way! Even so, I can't allow their animosity to run rampant on this team any longer! I HAVE to vote them OFF!" / Chameleon shudders and he says: "To think, I used to do villainous plots like THAT! It's REALLY ugly when you take a long, hard look at it! Regardless of who deserves the most blame, they both played a part in damaging our team's reputation, so they both HAVE to go!" / Buhdeuce sighs, and he says: "I didn't want to beat Sandy and Larry, NOT like this! They deserved a better END than this! But unless we vote them off now, we might not get another shot to do this! Sorry, Sandy and Larry; but the only contestants you have to blame for YOUR elimination, are YOURSELVES!" (End Confessional) The Red Jaguars are at the Elimination Ceremony! Sniz says: "It's REALLY disappointing that it's had to come to this! You started out as 11, highly skilled athletes, and you will soon be down to a paltry four contestants! You know the drill; BUT, Larry and Sandy, you WILL have four penalty votes tacked onto your tally! You would BOTH need every other member of your team to NOT vote you off, to stay here! And BUHDEUCE still has his Immunity Pendant! With that being said, VOTE!" And the Red Jaguars all make their voting choices quickly! Sniz says: "Voting over, so it's time--." Buhdeuce says: "I'm not leaving ANYTHING to chance! I'm PLAYING my Immunity Pendant on myself!" And Buhdeuce slaps it down! And Sandy says: "Oh, MAN!!!!" Sniz says: "The Immunity Pendant is real. That means all votes cast for Buhdeuce will NOT count! Now, it's time to reveal who is safe! Obviously, Buhdeuce! Po! Dudley!" It gets down to Sandy, Larry, and Chameleon, who are the only contestants left! Sniz says: "One final Chocolate Pendant of Life left, and it goes to, CHAMELEON!!!!" Larry stares in disbelieving shock, and he says: "I've been ELIMINATED, by a DUCK?!!!" Buhdeuce says: "A Breadwinner duck!" Sandy shakes her head, and she says: "If we hadn't been so FOCUSED on destroying each other, we would STILL have a CHANCE against that guy!" Po shakes his head, and he says: "I WARNED you about competing in a challenge where NOBODY wins! I'm just sad that it took YOUR eliminations for you to learn it!" Dudley says: "If it's any consolation, the elimination was strategic, and NOT a personal agenda!" Larry says: "A rather SMALL consolation, as it doesn't keep US from having to leave!" Chameleon says: "Even so, I have a feeling that you WILL be missed!" Sandy and Larry put on helmets, and strap themselves into the Mine Cart of Shame. Sniz says: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!" And Sandy and Larry rocket down the rail-ways, and through the Mine Shaft of Losers! Sniz says: "And than, there were ten! One former champ, and nine other potential legends are still standing at this critical point in the game! One Double Elimination remains! We're off next time for a Performance Review, but be sure to tune in, for the next regular episode, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where it is ALWAYS the right time, to enjoy a good legend!" / Stinger: Sandy and Larry exit out of a Mine Portal, and find themselves on a Hawaiian Beach! Sandy looks around, and she says: "That's weird! Given our recent spat, I thought the portal would take us somewhere that was a lot more VIOLENT!" Larry says: "I don't really care WHERE we have wound up, just so long as we're no longer in a competition that pitted the BOTH of us against each other!" A familiar voice says: "Well, long time, no see!" Sandy and Larry both say: "SUPER CHUM?!!!" Super Chum's ship pulls up, and he says: "You know it!" Super Chum weighs anchor, and he slowly descends to shore! Super Chum says: "It's a good thing you BOTH got here! I've got a TON of un-recycled plastic stuff and junk that I collected from the garbage patches in this ocean, and it would be a GREAT help to me if you would help me sort out the piles of recycling, and where they need to go to!" Larry asks: "Do we have to?" Sandy sighs, and she says: "I think we just better do it. After all, it's better that we PAY for our karmic debt to each other NOW, instead of later!" Larry says: "One thing you can say about Karma, it SURE is the Great Equalizer!" / Episode Notes: Featured Songs in this episode include Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit", and The Police's "Message In a Bottle". Sandy and Larry both wind up eliminated via Penalty Votes in this episode, which makes Bubble Bass the LAST former champ still in the game! Eliminated Contestants: 46. Kowalski. 45. Private. 44. Kaput. 43. Johnny Krill. 42. Haggis McHaggis. 41. Monster Krumholtz. 40. Aang. 39. Verminious J. Snaptrap. 38. Darwin. 37. Heffer Wolfe. 36. Judy Funny. 35. Sway-Sway. 34. Invader Zim. 33.

Chameleon, Red Jaguars. Bubble Bass, Green Monkeys. Yakkity Yak, Green Monkeys. (Future Adult) Rube Goldfish, Green Monkeys. / Personal Note: It's one thing to SAY that you're going to play a nice, honorable game. It's quite another to actually stick BY it, especially when there's up to $44.44 Million on the line! The personalities of Sandy and Larry, simply ended up clashing together! Larry wanted to THOROUGHLY beat Spongebob in the competition, while Sandy WASN'T going to let him do it! And when push came to shove, they both ended up brawling against each other, pushing their brawl to the BREAKING point! Unfortunately, this resulted in a case of a "Surprisingly Realistic Outcome", as Sniz gave them BOTH Penalty Votes for breaking HALF of Olmec's Temple and Challenge Arena, and allowing Buhdeuce a rather easy, if unsatisfactory win against them. Now we are down to ten contestants, and ONE final team challenge to go, after another Performance Review! I hope you enjoyed reading this episode, as much as I did reading it! Enough said, true believers!

Even though it's only in the game, this STILL marks the first time we've seen Larry the Snail, Spongegar, Patar, Squag, and Spongebuck in ages! It will be interesting to see this game FINALLY come out! Enough said, true believers! Cosmic Jelly #1:

Okay, I said EARLIER that I WASN'T going to do another potentially controversial episode, but even though this IS another potentially controversial episode; at LEAST it will be potentially controversial for completely DIFFERENT reasons! / Before the episode starts proper, an episode disclaimer appears at the start of the episode. It reads as follows: "The following episode, based around Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland, contains references to drug usage. The author personally, does not condone the usage of drugs except when used for medicinal, and responsible purposes. Any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental, and should not be inferred. ~ Jason Cantu." / Sniz is on top of the Steps of Knowledge, and he says: "Last time, on Total Cartoon Legends; the Green Monkeys and the Purple Parrots were left reeling, after the discovery that Bulma Briefs had been telling the truth; and they eliminated her for NOTHING! Desperate to heal their Karma, the contestants went to great lengths to make amends for their mistake! Taotie ended up paying for his mistake PHYSICALLY, as nearly EVERY single meatball cannon shot that was fired, ended up hitting him! Stimpy on the other hand, realizing that he was flawed as anyone else, decided that he needed to put HIMSELF on the line, in order to heal his own karma; mostly because, he felt like he needed to talk to Ren again! I don't completely understand his train of thought on that, but that's his OWN personal agenda! In any case, at the end of the challenge, the Red Jaguars won the most points, with Buhdeuce winning the Temple Run! At the end of the challenge, Taotie and Stimpy had the least points out of everyone, and they ended up taking a Mine Cart Ride out of the game! Not only that, but the Purple Parrots were dissolved, with Bubble Bass and Yakkity Yak winding up on the Green Monkeys, and Po winding up on the Red Jaguars! Now, we are down to TWO teams! And only a couple of Double Eliminations remain! In the mean-time, things are about to get surreal, on a very PSYCHEDELIC episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "It's FAR OUT, Man!" / Instead of the normal show opening, it shows all of the remaining contestants' most surreal moments from their own shows, and the "Total Cartoon" series, shown warped and distorted, and set to the tune of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit"! / (Instrumental Opening) Grace Slick sings: "One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small. And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall! And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall, tell them a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call. And call Alice when she was just small. When the men on the chessboard, get up and tell you where to go; and you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low; go ask Alice! I think she'll know! When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead; and the White Knight is talking backwards, and the Red Queen's 'Off with her head'! Remember what the dormouse said; feed your head! Feed your head!" / And the montage and song ends! / "The Legend Of The Lost Teacup of Lewis Carroll!" / Bubble Bass and Yakkity Yak, have brought their belongings from their old trailers, into the area of the hotel, being used by the Green Monkeys! Marlene says: "Welcome to our NOT so humble abode! With any luck, it will be YOUR home away from home, for a good while!" Bubble Bass says: "So, THIS is part of the secret to the Green Monkey's great success! I would've expected no less from Spongebob Squarepants! Truly, reports of your so-called 'Ineptitude', have been GREATLY exaggerated!" Spongebob is puzzled, and says: "Thank you?" Bubble Bass says: "I was HONESTLY giving you a COMPLIMENT! Clearly, if you can last THIS long in a competition, outlasting TWO other champs so far, than Sniz placing you on the Green Monkeys, CLEARLY wasn't a fluke! I mean, I actually had to EARN my right to be on THIS team! But you; it looks like you are where you were ALWAYS meant to be! Spongebob, I've always known you to be a culinary genius; but now, I have to admit that you're a TECHNICAL genius as well!" Spongebob says: "Well, I do spend a lot of spare time reading; I ABSORBED a lot of facts!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! Yakkity laughs, and he says: "Sponge humor! That's clever!" Future Rube says: "Dad, you being in the same team as me, isn't going to be a problem, is it?" Bubble Bass says: "I don't see why it SHOULD be! You want to win, just as much as I do! Now I obviously have no way of KNOWING how it's going to go down; all I know is that, you need to do what you FEEL you need to do! I just want to let you know, that you shouldn't expect me to go EASY on you! After all, you need to learn that you HAVE to earn your wins; even against your dad!" Future Rube says: "I wouldn't expect anything less!" Wally says: "But what can we expect now? I mean, we're down to just two teams. It won't be much longer before the remaining contestants merge!" Yakkity says: "I personally have NO way of knowing! Being a NEW contestant, I honestly never EXPECTED to get this far! But now that I have, I might as well try to EARN my 'Legend' status the best that I can!" Spongebob says: "And personally, I've never been put INTO the role of a leader for my team, before! And I think Sandy has been TRYING to avoid it for as long as she could, but I think we'll soon be pitted AGAINST each other!" Bubble Bass winces, and he says: "THAT...is SO not a good thing! And not just for the OBVIOUS reasons!" Future Rube asks: "Why is THAT?!" Marlene says: "It's a classic 'Catch-22' scenario! If Spongebob BEATS Sandy, she will RESENT him for actually BEING better than her for the REST of his LIFE!" Spongebob says: "Not true! I outlasted Sandy in season two, and SHE didn't get upset, than!" Wally says: "That was different! You didn't personally ELIMINATE Sandy in that season, and she KNOWS it! One way or the other, one of you MIGHT be leaving at the end of this challenge!" Yakkity says: "It's up to you, Spongebob. Just know that whatever choice you make, we're behind you all the way." Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Sandy wouldn't just give up and avoid the challenge. We can't afford to do that either. Even if it SEEMS like a mathematical impossibility, we need to play with 110% of OUR playing ability! It's our best chance of coming out on top over the Red Jaguars!" Marlene says: "WOW! That IS very bold of you!" Spongebob says: "I guess Bubble Bass' bravery is rubbing off on me!" Bubble Bass' eyes widen up, and he asks: "Do you REALLY think I'm brave?!" Spongebob says: "Of course I do! You're honest, you've done an AMAZING job raising Infant Rube, and you've really learned how to be a great father, thanks to FUTURE Rube! Bubble Bass, Rube is LUCKY to have a father like you!" Bubble Bass says: "Wow! Praised by Spongebob himself! Well, I think we all know what we have to do in the upcoming challenge! We ALL have to be the best versions of ourselves, and play to the best of our abilities, whatever comes our way!" Wally says: "No need to worry about me! With Future Rube as my witness, you can count on me; Admiral Wally, his Smartness!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "Admittedly, probably not EVERY contestant who's been ON the Green Monkeys; were equally capable of winning this season! But that doesn't mean that it didn't hurt me a little inside every time our team lost a contestant. But now that the rest of us are still here, there's no more room for second-guessing myself! Sandy's going to come roaring out of the starting gate, and I need to be prepared for that! Even if that's not what Sandy is prepared for, it's what I need to do! Or what kind of a team leader am I? A rhetorical question by the way, don't answer that!" / Marlene says: "I admit, I had TROUBLE getting recognition during the EARLY phase of this season! But now, that it's down to a core 12, I feel like I finally have room to breathe, and be a key player in these games! It won't be easy to make it to the Final Three AGAIN, but I feel like I'm UP to the challenge!" / Wally says: "Now that Bubble Bass is on the same team with Future Rube and me, I feel like our team's bonds, strong as they are; have only gotten that much stronger! I don't know how much unity the Red Jaguars have; but I know that if we face each struggle together, we'll emerge from this game show as STILL great friends! And some of us, even MORE than that!" / Yakkity says: "My personal test this season, has been surviving all the team shuffles that I've had to endure! But despite the constant team changes, the fact remains that I have managed to make it all the way HERE! I'm actually CLIMBING the summit, of the metaphorical mountain of legends! All that's left, is to reach the peak!" / Bubble Bass is feeding Infant Rube a bottle of milk, and Infant Rube IS starting to look a little bigger! Bubble Bass says: "This competition has DEFINITELY been a test of my mental resources, in more ways than one! After all, when a baby needs EVERYTHING from you; any other priorities have to come second! I'm just lucky that I'm as smart as I am; I feel prepared for just about anything!" And Infant Rube suddenly squeals, and he says: "D...d...d...d...DADDY!!!!" Bubble Bass gasps, and he says: "NEPTUNE! He said his FIRST word! And it was ME!!!! And it was CAUGHT on camera! I wonder how BLONDA is going to feel about that?" / Future Rube glances to the camera, and he says: "Even though I lived it and I can SEE it, it's STILL hard to believe I was REALLY that small!" (End Confessional) Meanwhile, the Red Jaguars are having a discussion of their own, in the hotel lobby! Larry sighs, and he says: "Sandy, you know that I COMPLETELY respect you, and all the personal decisions that you have had to make, in order to keep us here." Sandy sighs, and she says: "And HERE'S where the 'But' comes in!" Larry says: "BUT, that does not mean that every decision you have made has turned out well for us!" Buhdeuce says: "We've got Po on our side now! How is THAT not a good decision?!" Sandy says: "If he's referring to the fact that we DON'T have Bubble Bass on our team, I would like to remind LARRY that it was HIS idea, to NOT have another champ on our team!" Larry says: "A decision that I still STAND by, for YOUR information! I'm talking about your decision to NOT directly face off against Spongebob in a competition of this nature!" Sandy shouts: "Spongebob is a DELICATE FLOWER!!!! He would WILT if he was CRUSHED by my full potential!" Dudley asks: "Are you deliberately NOW ignoring the fact that Spongebob ONCE turned FULL Super Saiyan 2? That does NOT scream 'Delicate Flower' to me!" Chameleon says: "And besides, a delicate flower looks like THIS!" And Chameleon transforms himself into a glass tulip, before changing back to normal! Po says: "And let's not forget, Spongebob personally bested Aang, Snaptrap, Darwin, and Treeflower in this competition, and MOST of them weren't exactly lightweights! As a matter of fact, I have to wonder! SURELY those facts haven't slipped your mind! I want to know; what is the REAL reason you're holding back?!" Buhdeuce gasps, and it DAWNS on him as he says: "She's AFRAID that Spongebob WILL turn Super Saiyan 2 again!" Larry gasps, and he asks: "REALLY?! Is that TRUE, Sandy?!" Sandy nods her head sadly, and she says: "Yes." Dudley says: "WOW! No wonder Sandy has been handling Spongebob with kid gloves so far! We had almost FORGOTTEN about THAT elephant in the room!" Chameleon says: "But we don't HAVE any elephant, unless you want ME to turn into one!" Po says: "It's a completely METAPHORICAL elephant!" Chameleon says: "Oh, right!" Larry says: "Sandy, I REALLY don't think Spongebob will go Super Saiyan 2, JUST to win a STUPID competition! Besides, he LOVES you, and he would NEVER want to hurt you!" Buhdeuce says: "Besides; you're only crazy angry the FIRST time you turn into a Super Saiyan 2! On subsequent cases, you're able to control your anger!" Sandy asks: "Have YOU ever personally turned into a Super Saiyan 2?" Buhdeuce says: "No, but that's BESIDE the point!" Larry says: "Sandy, you LOST the game once, because you underestimated MY brains and skills! Don't make the same mistake against Spongebob, because you underestimated HIS brains and skills!" Sandy says: "Well, if it's SO easy to beat Spongebob, why don't YOU do it?! Put your money where your MOUTH is, why don't you?!" Larry is taken aback, but he scoffs, and he says: "FINE! It will be EASY! I outlasted Spongebob in a competition TWICE, I can CERTAINLY do it again! But mark my words; IF I beat Spongebob, you WON'T be far behind, Sandy!" Sandy asks: "But why?!" Buhdeuce says: "I think he's saying that, in terms of team leaders, WE can do BETTER!" Larry says: "Not the way I would've put it, but yes!" (Confessional) Sandy sighs, and she says: "I've been DREADING having to face Spongebob in competition, all because he HAS the ability to turn Super Saiyan 2! Even if he IS able to control the anger impulses, he's STILL far stronger than the rest of us, save MAYBE for Po, put together! If Larry wants a crack at Spongebob, he can have AT it! I personally, want NOTHING to do with it!" / Larry says: "Look; I have spent roughly the past 20 of my 24 years of life, working and training to get the strong body that I have! What kind of athlete would I be, if I let a sponge with LESS than roughly THREE months of training, beat me in a competition?! A rhetorical question by the way, don't answer it!" / Buhdeuce says: "A Super Saiyan 2 Transformation?! That would be a REAL Breadwinner move! The trouble is, you can't just start OFF having that kind of transformation! Like Spongebob, you NEED a traumatic trigger, in order to access that kind of power and strength! Personally, I'd rather NOT have to undergo THAT kind of a transformation unless I really HAD to! After all, it's DANGEROUS to lose yourself to an anger and rage THAT strong!" / Po says: "Can I take on a Super Saiyan 2? That's hard to know. And I personally DON'T want to have to answer that question unless I absolutely HAVE to! The Dragon Warrior DOESN'T fight, just for the SAKE of fighting! He fights to protect those, who can't protect themselves!" / Dudley says: "Personally, I think Sandy and Larry are starting to worry about their chances for winning! And quite frankly, it's hard to blame them! I mean, there ARE only two of them on the Red Jaguars, and four contestants NOT from Spongebob Squarepants, counting me, are competing against them! So, unless we win this challenge; they're going to be on the cutting block, and I DON'T mean for sushi!" / Chameleon says: "Look, if it comes right down to it, I HAVE to vote with Buhdeuce, Dudley, and Po, and vote off Sandy and Larry! Larry, because he's already won; and Sandy will inevitably team up with Spongebob if she makes it to the team merge! It's purely a strategic decision, on my part!" (End Confessional) It is morning, and everyone is in the cafeteria, eating breakfast. Johnny Krill says: "You know, if someone told me at the START of this season, that out of the four teams, we'd wind up with only two; I would've played a LOT harder to make it as a contestant!" General Barracuda scoffs, and he says: "Like you would've had the BRAINS to actually do it! Even BUHDEUCE has more competent skills than you; and he's undergone MORE transformations than you can shake a stick at!" Johnny Krill sighs, and he says: "It's a fair cop!" Suddenly, Sniz rings a gong, and over the loud-speakers, Sniz says: "Attention contestants! Breakfast time is over! Just a reminder, Taotie and Stimpy were eliminated at the last competition; Bubble Bass and Yakkity Yak are now on the Green Monkeys, and Po is now on the Red Jaguars! In other words, the Purple Parrots are no more! Please proceed to the Moat to find out about today's challenge! That is all!" Spongebob looks over to Sandy, and he says: "Well, this is it! No turning back, now!" Sandy sighs, and she says: "Spongebob, I WON'T be challenging you; Larry is!" Spongebob says: "But if you DON'T face me, won't THAT put you at risk?" Sandy says: "Well, we have no way of KNOWING who's going to win THIS challenge; even Future Rube doesn't know! If you WANT to stay, you're going to have to beat Larry! It's that SIMPLE!" Larry says: "HEY! Whose side are you on, ANYWAYS?!" Sandy groans, and she says: "DON'T be like THAT! This is HARD enough for me, as it is!" (Confessional) Sandy says: "I've got to say it; it SUCKS to be STUCK in the middle the way I am!" / Spongebob says: "Sandy doesn't want to confront me! WHY?!" And Spongebob gasps, as it finally DAWNS on him! Spongebob says: "The Super Saiyan 2 Transformation! She must be AFRAID that she'll somehow trigger that form of mine! But I promised I would NEVER use that form unless it was an ACTUAL emergency! And if Sandy doesn't HONESTLY realize that...she's in trouble!" / Larry says: "I think that given the circumstances, I've been EXTREMELY patient and forgiving with Sandy up until now! But, she's GOING to have to make a CHOICE; her team, or her husband! And good luck with coming up with a POSSIBLE third option in THAT scenario!" (End Confessional) The contestants suit up into their team colors, and head for the Moat! Sniz says: "Welcome contestants! At long last, we have FINALLY reached the number of players that an ACTUAL episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple started off with on each episode! Of course, by the end of today, we will be eliminating two more contestants! One team will win, one team will lose. It's that simple! Of course, today's challenge may be ANYTHING but simple! Olmec, tell us what today's Legend is!" Olmec says: "Today's legend, is the Lost Teacup of Lewis Carroll!" Buhdeuce asks: "WAIT! Can we LEGALLY reference that legend?" Po says: "Technically, we can! You see, Lewis Carroll's original book Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, was originally written in 1865! And since we're ONLY referencing the book, we can legally do that, given that the actual book has LONG since fallen into the public domain!" Marlene says: "Thank goodness for the public domain! It's not just for High School Book Reports anymore!" Sniz says: "In any case, we're going to re-enact a scene from the book! At one point, Alice grew SO tall, she LITERALLY cried a lake full of tears, which she later had to get out of, when she shrunk by down to size! Therefore, in crossing the Moat, you will ride in an over-sized bottle, from one of the Moat, to the other! Each team will be divided into groups of three, with the end result being that two bottles from each team gets across! Once every member of each team gets across, they will ring their Gong Pedestal, in order to win a Pendant of Life, that they will need for the Temple Run! Spongebob, Marlene, and Yakkity will be the first group for the Green Monkeys; Larry, Dudley, and Chameleon will be the first group for the Red Jaguars, and the other contestants will be in the second group! And since you'll be traveling in bottles, what better way to mark the occasion, than with The Police song, 'Message In A Bottle'?" Po asks: "Wait! How are WE able to AFFORD to use all of these songs, anyways?!" Sniz says: "MERCHANDISING!" Wally asks: "Merchandising?" Sniz says: "Sure! I'll show you! Johnny Krill, open up the store!" Johnny opens up a HUGE merchandise store, and a BUNCH of "Total Cartoon" related merchandise appears in it! Sniz says: "Take a look! We put the series' name on EVERYTHING! Merchandising, merchandising! Where the REAL money from the series is made! Total Cartoon the lunch-box, Total Cartoon the breakfast cereal, Total Cartoon the coloring book, Total Cartoon the T-Shirt, Total Cartoon the FLAMETHROWER!!!! The kids really LOVE that one! And last but not least, Total Cartoon the Talking Toy, ME!" Sniz pushes a button on his action figure, and it says: "Don't forget to be a loyal viewer, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Sniz kisses it, and he says: "It's POPULAR with the ladies!" (Confessional) Po says: "Well, mystery solved!" / Marlene says: "FIGURES that most of these legends HAVE come from the Public Domain! How ELSE could Sniz AFFORD to give us some REWARD incentives after some of these challenges?!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "In any case, you know the drill, so I'll let you get right to it! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" / During the montage, the first group of contestants get across the moat just fine. But Sandy and Buhdeuce REALLY have to struggle, due to Po's immense MUSCLE weight, slowing their progress down! / Sting sings: "Just a castaway, an island lost at sea! Another lonely day, with no one here but me! More loneliness, than any man could bear! Rescue me before I fall into despair! I'll send an SOS to the world! I'll send an SOS to the world! I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle! Message in a bottle! A year has passed since I wrote my note; but I should have known this right from the start! Only hope can keep me together! Love can mend your life, but love can break your heart! I'll send an SOS to the world! I'll send an SOS to the world! I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle! Message in a bottle. Oh, message in a bottle. Message in a bottle. Walked out this morning; don't believe what I saw! A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore! Seems I'm not alone at being alone! A hundred billion castaways, looking for a home! I'll send an SOS to the world! I'll send an SOS to the world! I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle! Message in a bottle. Message in a bottle. Message in a bottle. Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS!" / And the song fades out, as the challenge ends as the Green Monkeys finish crossing first! Sniz says: "And the Green Monkeys have done it! They have finished crossing, and they win a Pendant of Life, that they will need for the Temple Run!" Spongebob says: "Good work, everybody! We all did it together!" Larry turns to Sandy, and he scoffs: "Hmph! It seems like Spongebob is doing perfectly FINE for himself in this challenge! Maybe YOU'RE worried over NOTHING!" Sandy says: "Super Saiyan 2 ISN'T nothing!" Spongebob says: "You're honestly WORRIED about that?! Sandy, you HAVE my promise! I am not, COULD not, and would NEVER turn into a Super Saiyan 2 against you! There are NO circumstances that could EVER--!" Marlene screams: "DON'T SAY IT!! I know, the possibility is a very, very, TINY possibility; but it STILL exists! If you FINISH that sentence the way you WANT to, you WILL inevitably be FACED with whether you will KEEP your word, or have to BREAK the promise that you made! And I guarantee you, Karma WILL find a way to test your resolve!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "LIKELY make me turn into a Super Saiyan 2 in this competition; but I would NEVER stop being who I am because of that! And THAT is a promise, that I CAN keep!" Marlene nods her head, and she says: "That's better!" Sniz says: "We've got to get everybody dried off, but don't go away! Because we'll be right back with MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / After the commercials end, the contestants have gathered at the Steps Of Knowledge! Buhdeuce asks: "Another SHORT commercial break?!" Po says: "That can only mean that Sniz is worried about the CONTENT of this challenge again!" Wally says: "Well, at least NONE of us are robots; and we ALL know better than to say ANYTHING that's NOT suitable for television!" Bubble Bass says: "Right! Bulma's elimination certainly took care of THAT problem!" Sniz arrives, and he says: "It's true! I want to keep this episode done as quickly as possible! No muss, no fuss, no asparagus, unless you happen to LIKE that sort of thing!" Chameleon says: "Sometimes with butter! I'm pretty sure it helps keep my skin green!" Sniz says: "Well, in any case, seeing as how there are only two teams; we'll have to do the Steps of Knowledge a bit differently! Four contestants from each team will answer questions. HOWEVER, only the two contestants from each team, that make it down to the bottom of the Steps of Knowledge, will get to compete in the Challenge Arena! So, it will take a good combination of knowledge AND skill to prevail in this challenge! With that being said, you shall decide, who will volunteer for the Steps of Knowledge!" Spongebob says: "Bubble Bass, even though we've had some differences in the past, I can think of nobody better to help me win the Steps of Knowledge, than you!" Bubble Bass says: "Well in that case, I will do the best I can to help you!" Future Rube says: "I'm not ready to face against my father just yet. Marlene, will you and Yakkity be the other group?" Marlene says: "Sure! I'll give it a shot! I've never worked with a yak before, but there's a first time for everything!" Yakkity says: "Awesome! I'm with Miss Congeniality herself!" Larry asks: "MISS Congeniality? Is THAT what they're calling her now? In any case, I'm partnering with BUHDEUCE!" Sandy yells in shock: "WHAT?! You'd pick HIM, over ME?! After everything I've DONE for this team?!" Larry scoffs, and he says: "If you did HALF as much for this team as you SAID you did, our team numbers wouldn't have GOTTEN this LOW, at this point in the game! It's OBVIOUS you need a vacation! I think circumstances FORCE us to CHOOSE a new leader! And I pick, ME!!!!" Sandy growls, and she says: "Who does this invertebrate think he's DEALING with, ANYWAYS?!" Larry says: "The rock lobster, is TAKING over!" Sandy scowls, and she angrily yells: "NO one double crosses a squirrel from Texas, and walks away without a THRASHING! Po, partner up with ME! Larry, you just BOUGHT yourself a challenge THROW DOWN!" Larry scoffs, and he says: "Fine with me! It makes the challenge more interesting, for ME!!!!" Dudley turns to Chameleon, and Dudley says: "The Red Jaguars are about to TEAR themselves apart!" Chameleon nods in agreement, and he says: "I think you're right! And I don't know, if there's anything we can do, to STOP it!" Sniz says: "Well, in any case; it's time we get on with the Steps of Knowledge! If either group of Green Monkeys is the first one down, they will receive an Immunity Pendant! Otherwise, they'll have to find it in the Challenge Arena! Olmec, take it away please!" Olmec says: "Although he was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on January 27, 1832 in Daresbury, England; this man would gain literary fame under his pen name, Lewis Carroll! His works have been praised for their word play, and contrasts between logic and fantasy! Lewis Carroll was initially home schooled, and did not go to a proper school until he was 12, when he attended the Richmond Grammar School in Richmond, North Yorkshire. Although he grew to a height of six feet and was rather slender, Lewis Carroll had to struggle with health problems, such as being deaf in one ear, and Lewis Carroll struggled as he spoke with a stammer, and often had to stand up to bullies, who were bullying younger children. Even so, Lewis Carroll excelled scholastically, and in May 1850, he became matriculated at the University of Oxford! In 1852, he obtained first class honors in Mathematics Moderations, and eventually graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1854! Although Lewis Carroll started writing and publishing poetry and short stories for various magazines between 1854 through 1856, it wasn't until Lewis Carroll took a maritime trip with Henry Liddell, and his daughter, Alice Liddell; the later said to be the inspiration for the LITERARY Alice, did inspiration truly strike him! The legend says, that while Lewis Carroll was having a cup of tea in his teacup, that Lewis Carroll imagined the adventures of a girl in a fantasy land, who would grown and shrink in size, based on what she ate or drank! Although it initially had the title of Alice's Adventure's Under Ground, it was published in 1865, as Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland! Despite rumors by some, that the book contained hidden drug references, no serious evidence has even been uncovered to indicate that the actual book HAS any drug usage! Although Lewis Carroll published 29 other literary works, only the sequel to Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland, Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There, ever sold better than his first book! Lewis Carroll passed away due to Pneumonia, on January 14, 1898. His Teacup was nowhere to be found, until it found it's way to the Temple! Your job, is to retrieve the Lost Teacup of Lewis Carroll, and bring it back here!" Sniz says: "Thanks, Olmec! Where can the Lost Teacup of Lewis Carroll be found?" Olmec says: "The Lost Teacup can be found in the Rose Hedge Maze!" Sniz says: "All right! You know the drill, I will let you take it from here! Olmec, start your questions!" Olmec asks: "What was Lewis Carroll's birth name?" Spongebob rings in and Bubble Bass answers: "Charles Lutwidge Dodgson!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move DOWN a step! Larry asks: "WELL? Are you EVER going to make a MOVE, Sandy?" Sandy says: "That depends. When are YOU going to make one?!" Buhdeuce says: "Normally, I LIKE a good challenge, but you're BOTH getting a little TOO intense!" Larry asks: "INTENSE?! I'll show HER intense!" Olmec asks: "When and where was Lewis Carroll born?" Larry ring in and answers: "On January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, England!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Larry and Buhdeuce move down a step! Larry says: "SEE? I'm not AFRAID of Spongebob!" Sandy says: "Mark my words; if you TRY to beat Spongebob, you're GOING to have a bad time!" Buhdeuce says: "Even I know what THAT'S a reference to!" Olmec asks: "True or false, Lewis Carroll was home-schooled until he was 12?" Yakkity rings in, and Marlene answers: "True!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Yakkity and Marlene move down a step! Marlene says: "I know you're both REALLY interested in destroying each other! But don't forget, there ARE other players in this mix as well!" Po says: "I know that, YOU know that! But TRY telling Sandy and Larry THAT!" Olmec asks: "What was the first school that Lewis Carroll attended?" Po rings in and Sandy answers: "The Richmond Grammar School in Richmond, North Yorkshire!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Po and Sandy move down a step! Larry says: "Your answer proves NOTHING, Sandy! It's NOT going to get me to STOP! The only way to make sure that I DON'T beat Spongebob, is to beat him yourself! But are you WILLING to do that, is the question?!" Po says: "Sandy, there's no shame in walking away from a challenge that HAS no winners!" Sandy says: "There is NO one tougher than ME, remaining! I will show YOU what I'm made of!" Wally shakes his head, and he says: "This is SO going to end badly!" Olmec asks: "What were some of the various health problems that Lewis Carroll had?" Spongebob rings in, and Bubble Bass answers: "He was deaf in one ear, and he spoke with a stammer!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "Spongebob, I know you're NOT going to like this idea, but you've GOT to get the next question right, or VIOLENCE will break out between Sandy and Larry!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "You're right, Bubble Bass. It IS the lesser of two evils!" Olmec asks: "In what University did Lewis Carroll get matriculated at?" Yakkity rings in, and Marlene answers: "The University of Oxford in 1850!" Olmec says: "That is correct! And Marlene and Yakkity move down a step! Marlene says: "Hope you don't mind that I join you!" Bubble Bass asks: "Are you CRAZY?! Larry and Sandy are on the VERGE of destroying each other, and they don't need any additional prodding from YOU to stoke their metaphorical fire!" Yakkity says: "Come on! She was JOKING! She does that!" Bubble Bass says: "There is a time and a PLACE for joking, and it is certainly NOT now!" Olmec asks: "What did Lewis Carroll graduate with?" Buhdeuce rings in and answers: "A Bachelor of Arts, in 1854!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Buhdeuce and Larry move down a step! Larry says: "The moment of TRUTH is upon you! What are YOU going to do?" Sandy seriously says: "Oh, you'll SEE what I'll do soon enough!" Po gulps nervously, and he says: "Why do I not like the sound of THAT?!" Wally says: "Probably, for the same reasons I don't!" Olmec asks: "Who was said to be inspiration, for the literary Alice?" Sandy rings in and answers: "Alice Liddell!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Sandy and Po move down a step! Larry says: "Last CHANCE, Sandy! Make a move, or I WILL!!!!" Chameleon says: "This is TOO intense! I can't WATCH this!" And Chameleon turns into a blindfold, and wraps himself around Dudley's eyes! Dudley says: "Look, I LIKE being next to you, but this is a little MUCH!" Olmec asks: "What was the original planned title, of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland?" And while EVERYONE darts for their buzzer, Spongebob ACTUALLY taps into Super Saiyan SPEED to reach his first, and he answers: "Alice's Adventure's Under Ground!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "Spongebob and Bubble Bass are in it for the Green Monkeys! And one of you gets the Immunity Pendant!" Bubble Bass says: "I think YOU better take it, Spongebob! I think you'll need it a LOT more than I will!" Spongebob says: "Thank you; but this challenge is NOT over yet!" Sniz says: "Quite right! TWO Red Jaguars need to FINISH this challenge!" Sandy says: "And Larry, YOU failed! Spongebob is BETTER than you; just ADMIT it!" Larry says: "I'll admit to NOTHING, until I LITERALLY wipe the floor with him on the Challenge Arena! I'm NOT letting him BEAT me!" Sandy says: "Not if I BEAT you first!" Larry says: "You'll do no such thing, because THAN, you'd have to try to beat SPONGEBOB, and YOU would NEVER do that! Now, why don't you just RELAX while I WIN?!" Sandy yells: "Why don't YOU just talk to my FISTS?!!!" And before Larry realizes it, Larry and Sandy are in a "Big Ball Of Violence!" Wally yells: "Out of the WAY! A whirlwind of Tom & Jerry proportions are blowing through!" And everyone quickly GETS out of the way of Sandy's and Larry's melee, as they THRASH their way THROUGH the Challenge Arena, and through MOST of the rooms in Olmec's Temple! They come out of the Temple, and Sniz finally shouts: "ENOUGH!!" And Sandy's and Larry's melee finally dissipates! Sniz yells: "What's the idea of BUSTING up the Challenge Arena and Olmec's Temple?! Just LOOK at the damage you caused! It took Johnny Krill TWELVE hours to set up this entire challenge, now HALF of it's BROKEN!!!! This is UNACCEPTABLE behavior, for BOTH of you! You are BOTH receiving 4 penalty votes IMMEDIATELY at the Elimination Ceremony!" Larry yells: "WHAT?! You CAN'T tell us WE'RE attending the Elimination Ceremony! Our TEAM hasn't even LOST yet!" Sniz says: "Well, if you hadn't have BROKEN the Challenge Arena, you would BOTH still have a chance! But seeing as the Challenge Arena and Olmec's Temple are now in disrepair, we now CAN'T do those challenges, and we don't have the TIME in this episode to fix it up! Therefore, since your team LOST at the Steps of Knowledge, your TEAM loses by default!" Sandy growls at Larry, and she says: "You just HAD to try to take command away from me, DIDN'T you?!" Larry rhetorically asks: "And WATCH as you just SURRENDERED yourself to LET Spongebob win? You WISH!" Sniz sighs, and he says: "Green Monkeys, go ahead and take the night off! The Red Jaguars have an APPOINTMENT with the Elimination Ceremony!" Bubble Bass rushes to Sandy, and Bubble Bass says: "Don't worry about a thing, Sandy! I'm not forgetting the promise that I made to you earlier! If you happen to get eliminated first, I will do what I can to keep Spongebob safe!" Sandy sighs in relief, and she says: "Thank you, I needed to hear that!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Sandy, you shouldn't have HESITATED against Larry! You should KNOW that I wouldn't have felt humiliated if you HAD beaten me in the Steps of Knowledge! I NEVER cared on previous occasions when you were smarter than me, before. You never HAD to hold back!" Sandy sighs, and she says: "I...was so WORRIED that Karma was going to target you, for YOUR role in Bulma's elimination, I guess I internalized YOUR problem, and tried to take care of it myself! I...didn't handle myself well! But Spongebob; you have to promise me that regardless of the outcome of tonight's elimination ceremony, you'll get through the rest of these challenges the best that you can!" Spongebob says: "Don't worry, Sandy. You HAVE my promise!" Sandy says: "Thank you! I'll be all right, ONE way or the other! And I KNOW the same will hold true for you!" (Confessional) Sandy sighs, and she says: "That's the PROBLEM with being in a team full of ALPHA Wolves! Eventually, it gets to the point where every single member of your pack, wants to be the ONLY Alpha Wolf within it! At least, Spongebob didn't end up being demeaned to either Larry OR me, so at least I have a moral victory on my hands!" / Larry exclaims: "Wow! I KNEW Sandy was determined to NOT let Spongebob be humiliated, but I didn't think she would be THAT determined! She COMPLETELY threw away her OWN chance at winning, just so I WOULDN'T show up Spongebob! Although, it remains to be seen if her sacrifice will be WORTH it! After all, she's STILL leaving Spongebob at the potential mercy of nine other contestants! And there is now NOTHING she can do, to stop anything that might come Spongebob's way!" / Po sighs, and he says: "Tigress, WHY did you have to influence the ENTIRE Red Jaguar's team to be like THIS?! I mean, THIS is what happens when OTHERS try to emulate you! It does NOT end well!" / Dudley says: "The damage caused by Larry and Sandy was NOTHING short of AMAZING, in a destructive sort of way! Even so, I can't allow their animosity to run rampant on this team any longer! I HAVE to vote them OFF!" / Chameleon shudders and he says: "To think, I used to do villainous plots like THAT! It's REALLY ugly when you take a long, hard look at it! Regardless of who deserves the most blame, they both played a part in damaging our team's reputation, so they both HAVE to go!" / Buhdeuce sighs, and he says: "I didn't want to beat Sandy and Larry, NOT like this! They deserved a better END than this! But unless we vote them off now, we might not get another shot to do this! Sorry, Sandy and Larry; but the only contestants you have to blame for YOUR elimination, are YOURSELVES!" (End Confessional) The Red Jaguars are at the Elimination Ceremony! Sniz says: "It's REALLY disappointing that it's had to come to this! You started out as 11, highly skilled athletes, and you will soon be down to a paltry four contestants! You know the drill; BUT, Larry and Sandy, you WILL have four penalty votes tacked onto your tally! You would BOTH need every other member of your team to NOT vote you off, to stay here! And BUHDEUCE still has his Immunity Pendant! With that being said, VOTE!" And the Red Jaguars all make their voting choices quickly! Sniz says: "Voting over, so it's time--." Buhdeuce says: "I'm not leaving ANYTHING to chance! I'm PLAYING my Immunity Pendant on myself!" And Buhdeuce slaps it down! And Sandy says: "Oh, MAN!!!!" Sniz says: "The Immunity Pendant is real. That means all votes cast for Buhdeuce will NOT count! Now, it's time to reveal who is safe! Obviously, Buhdeuce! Po! Dudley!" It gets down to Sandy, Larry, and Chameleon, who are the only contestants left! Sniz says: "One final Chocolate Pendant of Life left, and it goes to, CHAMELEON!!!!" Larry stares in disbelieving shock, and he says: "I've been ELIMINATED, by a DUCK?!!!" Buhdeuce says: "A Breadwinner duck!" Sandy shakes her head, and she says: "If we hadn't been so FOCUSED on destroying each other, we would STILL have a CHANCE against that guy!" Po shakes his head, and he says: "I WARNED you about competing in a challenge where NOBODY wins! I'm just sad that it took YOUR eliminations for you to learn it!" Dudley says: "If it's any consolation, the elimination was strategic, and NOT a personal agenda!" Larry says: "A rather SMALL consolation, as it doesn't keep US from having to leave!" Chameleon says: "Even so, I have a feeling that you WILL be missed!" Sandy and Larry put on helmets, and strap themselves into the Mine Cart of Shame. Sniz says: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!" And Sandy and Larry rocket down the rail-ways, and through the Mine Shaft of Losers! Sniz says: "And than, there were ten! One former champ, and nine other potential legends are still standing at this critical point in the game! One Double Elimination remains! We're off next time for a Performance Review, but be sure to tune in, for the next regular episode, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where it is ALWAYS the right time, to enjoy a good legend!" / Stinger: Sandy and Larry exit out of a Mine Portal, and find themselves on a Hawaiian Beach! Sandy looks around, and she says: "That's weird! Given our recent spat, I thought the portal would take us somewhere that was a lot more VIOLENT!" Larry says: "I don't really care WHERE we have wound up, just so long as we're no longer in a competition that pitted the BOTH of us against each other!" A familiar voice says: "Well, long time, no see!" Sandy and Larry both say: "SUPER CHUM?!!!" Super Chum's ship pulls up, and he says: "You know it!" Super Chum weighs anchor, and he slowly descends to shore! Super Chum says: "It's a good thing you BOTH got here! I've got a TON of un-recycled plastic stuff and junk that I collected from the garbage patches in this ocean, and it would be a GREAT help to me if you would help me sort out the piles of recycling, and where they need to go to!" Larry asks: "Do we have to?" Sandy sighs, and she says: "I think we just better do it. After all, it's better that we PAY for our karmic debt to each other NOW, instead of later!" Larry says: "One thing you can say about Karma, it SURE is the Great Equalizer!" / Episode Notes: Featured Songs in this episode include Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit", and The Police's "Message In a Bottle". Sandy and Larry both wind up eliminated via Penalty Votes in this episode, which makes Bubble Bass the LAST former champ still in the game! Eliminated Contestants: 46. Kowalski. 45. Private. 44. Kaput. 43. Johnny Krill. 42. Haggis McHaggis. 41. Monster Krumholtz. 40. Aang. 39. Verminious J. Snaptrap. 38. Darwin. 37. Heffer Wolfe. 36. Judy Funny. 35. Sway-Sway. 34. Invader Zim. 33.

Chameleon, Red Jaguars. Bubble Bass, Green Monkeys. Yakkity Yak, Green Monkeys. (Future Adult) Rube Goldfish, Green Monkeys. / Personal Note: It's one thing to SAY that you're going to play a nice, honorable game. It's quite another to actually stick BY it, especially when there's up to $44.44 Million on the line! The personalities of Sandy and Larry, simply ended up clashing together! Larry wanted to THOROUGHLY beat Spongebob in the competition, while Sandy WASN'T going to let him do it! And when push came to shove, they both ended up brawling against each other, pushing their brawl to the BREAKING point! Unfortunately, this resulted in a case of a "Surprisingly Realistic Outcome", as Sniz gave them BOTH Penalty Votes for breaking HALF of Olmec's Temple and Challenge Arena, and allowing Buhdeuce a rather easy, if unsatisfactory win against them. Now we are down to ten contestants, and ONE final team challenge to go, after another Performance Review! I hope you enjoyed reading this episode, as much as I did reading it! Enough said, true believers!
