It's time for the second part of my latest episode, "Break-Your-Neck Mesa!" / The contestants are standing around at what looks like a horse corral. Sandy asks: "Lil, did you run into Angelica BEFORE you came back here? Did you happen to overhear whether or not she had any plans AGAINST us?" Lil answers: "Oh, sure! During my brief time when Angelica and I were in the same place, Angelica just couldn't stop talking about how she was going to get revenge against all the contestants who tried to thwart her from winning the prize money, and had all sorts of evil schemes to use against you!" And this gives Sandy Cheeks an epiphany! (Confessional) Sandy says: "So THAT'S what Larry meant by FAR worse things than his grudge against me; he must have known about Angelica Pickles returning! Why else would he be so confidant in his ability to try to get rid of me? Not only that, but Patrick started to ACT smart the very same episode Angelica CAME back! It can't JUST be a coincidence! Angelica HAS to be stopped in order to get the Patrick I know and like back! And I think I know how to do it!" (End Confessional) All the contestants see Susie, with her puffed-out afro hair-do, walking towards them, and some of them snicker and giggle.

 

Susie stops walking and asks: "I'm sorry, you see something FUNNY with my hair?!" Otto takes a look through Susie's hair and says: "Not from where I'M standing!" Angelica says: "Susie, you are PRICELESS! You should TOTALLY be on the cover of MAD magazine!" Susie retorts: "You should TALK; you William Shatner hair-piece wearing REJECT!" Sandy pulls Susie towards her and whispers: "Susie, you know this grudge against Angelica you have?" Susie asks: "What of it?" Sandy says: "I suggest you use it in order to help the Network Noobs get RID of Angelica! If you trash her in the challenges, they won't WANT her to stay in the game!" Susie says: "I LIKE the way you think!" Angelica says: "Ix-nay on the onspiracy-cay! Sandy has OBVIOUSLY told Susie a plot to UNFAIRLY get me out! Get out your RULEBOOK and RULE already!" Sniz says: "There's no rule against the opposing team forming plots to take CERTAIN Pickles--I mean, 'Opponents,' down!" (Confessional) Angelica says: "Conspiracy or NO conspiracy, I'm NOT going to let SUSIE cheat ME--AGAIN!" / Susie says: "Mark my words, Angelica is going DOWN!!!!" / Rocko says: "I'd feel sorrier for Angelica if she was faultless, but she DID bring this upon herself. Better that SHE get negative attention over me ANY day!" (End Confessional)

 

Sniz says: "It's time you found out what the first part of the challenge is. All contestants will have to try to mount a horse!" Larry says: "Is that all? We'll be finished by lunch!" Sniz says: "But you won't just be climbing on the horse, you're going to have to JUMP on it!" Sniz points to the roof-top of a nearby barn and says: "Not from UP there..." and Sniz points up EVEN higher, to the top of a high-dive diving board held up by a ladder and continues: "But from WAY up there! And you have to jump on THAT horse!" And Sniz points to Mr. Horse, who inappropriately farts and says: "No sir, I don't like it." Sniz asks Fondue: "THAT'S the BEST steed we COULD afford?!" Fondue is punching numbers on a calculator and says: "You want a genuine French Toast breakfast from FRANCE in bed, unlimited massages, Paris Purple Flurp, and humanely raised caviar on a daily BASIS?! I HAD to make a budget cut SOMEWHERE!" Sniz says: "It's PERFECT! Don't change a thing! And now it's time to decide who will be the FIRST contestants to make the leap for their team!" (Confessional) Larry says: "I WOULD jump off...IF I were still interested in trying to impress Sandy. But since THAT endeavor would be a WASTE of my time, I'm not EVEN going to bother!" / Ren says: "I can't allow Stimpy to go, not when he has SO much going for him! I HAVE to protect him!" (End Confessional)

 

Larry pulls out a stack of papers and says: "Excuse me, but my modeling contracts STRICTLY stipulate, that I am NOT to participate in ANY events that might cause the scratching, maiming, cutting, bruising, burning, breaking, lacerating, and/or hurting of my VALUABLE exo-skeleton. Sorry." Ren nervously says: "Excuse me, but Stimpy's in a BAD position for competing in this challenge! His cold will probably cause him to sneeze his way right ONTO the horse!" And Ren futilely covers his mouth, realizing he just said the completely WRONG thing! (Confessional) Stimpy screams: "What was THAT?!!!" / Ren slaps his head and says: "D'oh, STUPID!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "It's settled then! Stimpy, as team captain, you shall climb FIRST for YOUR team, with Ren following after!" Larry snidely says: "Nice GOING, Ren!" To which Ren can only look on in horror. As Stimpy begins to climb the ladder, Otto says: "We're going to need a NEW team captain!" Stimpy yells: "I heard that!" / As Stimpy continues to climb the ladder he hears Ren shouting: "Hey, Stimpy! Break a leg!"

 

(Confessional) Stimpy screams: "BREAK a LEG?!!! That's what Ren says to me as I'm about to plunge hundreds of feet to what might potentially be one of my NINE deaths?!!!" / Ren slaps his head twice and says: "Stupid, STUPID!!!!" (End Confessional) Stimpy finally gets to the top of the diving board, and he looks down from the DIZZYING height, to the small-looking figure of Mr. Horse. Stimpy tries to turn around and says: "Stinky, I can't DO this! Ah, ah--CHOO!!" And Stimpy SNEEZES himself backwards, RIGHT off the diving platform and as he falls, screams: "AHHH!!!!" (Confessional) Sandy is punching a bunch of numbers on a calculator and says: "Rate of falling velocity times the amount of gravitational force exerted by the Earth, adding in the amount of Stimpy's weight, compounded by the ratio of Stimpy's downward motion equals--not GOOD, people!" (End Confessional) Stimpy continues screaming: "AHHH!!!!" Which stops, when Stimpy actually MANAGES to land safely on Mr. Horse, albeit, facing backwards. Mr. Horse briefly tries to buck and shake Stimpy off, but Stimpy manages to hold on until Fondue can get him off. Stimpy lies on the ground with his arms folded, Ren comes running up to Stimpy and asks: "Buddy; are you okay?!" Stimpy, panting and breathing hard, says: "I'm fine. Just watch my left--." Ren unfolds Stimpy's left arm, only to hear a TERRIBLE cracking noise, which causes Stimpy to yell: "ARM!!!!" (Confessional) Ren slaps himself in the head THREE times, causing a hand imprint to start showing on his head. Ren says: "Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!!" (End Confessional)

 

Sniz says: "Fondue, you might want to check Stimpy out, just to be on the safe side." And Fondue helps escort Stimpy to the First Aid room, with Stimpy looking back at Ren in disgust. Ren sighs in defeat and says: "Well, at least today CAN'T POSSIBLY get ANY WORSE!!!!" / The scene cuts to Ren falling and screaming: "AHHH!!!!" Only Ren MISSES Mr. Horse, completely, and slams with his legs SPREAD apart, on a WOODEN post in the horse corral! Ren weakly says: "Or, maybe it CAN!!!!" And Ren falls over in pain! Sniz says: "I'll bet THAT was pretty painful! But I wouldn't WORRY about it, because I DIDN'T do IT!!!!" / Spongebob is on top of the diving platform and says: “All right Mr. Horse, I'm landing on YOU!!!!” Mr. Horse looks up and says: “No sir, I don't like THAT!” Spongebob jumps, but Mr. Horse runs AWAY from his designated spot, and Spongebob lands in the water trough, absorbing some water! Spongebob runs after Mr. Horse and says: “No fair! You're not supposed to move! Let me on you!” Sniz says: “You already LOST a chance to score a point for your team! There's no need to humiliate yourself any further!”

 

A montage of some of the contestants jumping can be seen. Dog jumps and lands on Mr. Horse safely, Gerald jumps and lands on Mr. Horse safely, Otto jumps and lands on Mr. Horse safely, Marlene jumps and lands on Mr. Horse safely. Treeflower jumps, but as she is falling, Angelica motions to Mr. Horse and says: "Oh, BUDDY! I got some CARROTS for you!" Mr. Horse walks towards Angelica and says: "Now THOSE I DO like!" And Treeflower lands in the water trough, and screams: "You miserable TWIT!! You did that on PURPOSE!!!!" Angelica smugly says: "All is fair in love and war, and THIS happens to be WAR!!" (Confessional) Treeflower is fuming and says: "Angelica is SO going to pay for making ME look foolish!" (End Confessional) Rocko and Reggie are at the top of the diving board at the same time. Rocko asks: "Reggie, are you ready to do this?" Reggie says: "As ready as I'll EVER be!" And they both jump off at the same time, holding hands. They both safely manage to land on Mr. Horse at the same time! / Pearl and Craig are at the top of the diving board at the same time. Craig asks: "Pearl, in case YOU die, is it all right if I have your hair, so I know what it's like to have it?" Pearl incredulously answers: "No! And I'm certainly not going to give UP any hair until I find out what Patrick KNOWS about my mother!" Craig says: "Just thought I would ask, and good luck TRYING! I offered Patrick a friendship bracelet, and he wouldn't even tell ME about your mother!" Pearl asks: "Why do YOU want to know about my mother?" Craig says: "From the little we've heard about her, she sounds like a nice lady. She reminds me of MY mother!"

 

(Confessional) Pearl says: "It's strange. I didn't think that Craig and I would share something in common, such as wanting to know about one's own mother. At least HE has an advantage; he still HAS a mom to TALK to!" / Craig says: "I just feel so bad for Pearl. It must be tough living in a single parent house-hold, and not knowing who one of your parents were. If I could, I would GLADLY share my mom with Pearl...if my mom would let me." (End Confessional) Pearl and Craig BOTH jump off of the diving board at the same time holding hands, and they both safely land on Mr. Horse at the same time! / Haggis says: "I CAN'T jump! I haven't been able to ride horses ever since my 1995 audition for Braveheart. I'm sorry!" Another montage of contestants jumping can be seen. Skipper jumps and lands on Mr. Horse safely, Rancid jumps and lands on Mr. Horse safely, Lil jumps and while she falls completely CRAZY, she lands on Mr. Horse safely. Patrick tries to jump using a giant leaf as a glider, but the wind picks up and lifts him BEYOND the corral. Patrick screams: "PLEASE! Not in the ELECTRIC wires!" And an off-screen zapping is heard as Patrick screams: "AHHH!!!! Ah, ah, AHHH!!!!" Dog asks: "Sniz, is Patrick going to be all right?" Sniz starts to laugh derisively: "HA--!"

 

The scene suddenly pauses and zooms out of a monitor, to show Sniz in front of a desk, BADLY reading a prepared bunch of pages. Sniz boringly says: "We here at Total Cartoon Action studios wish to state that we only have the utmost care and respect for our contestants, and no animals were harmed in the making of this picture. Like that?" Sniz gets up, starts to walk away and says: "I can't believe I HAD to say that STUPID C--" / The scene suddenly cuts back to Sniz in the corral as Sniz says: "CUT! THAT...didn't just happen!" Skipper says: "But we ALL just saw--." Sniz interrupts: "It DIDN'T happen! With the score tied six to six, we're down to our LAST two jumpers; Angelica and Susie!" Susie and Angelica both give FIREY looks at each other as dramatic Western music starts to play, and the crack of a whip is heard in the background! Treeflower says: "Just the way it SHOULD be!" / Spurs can be heard clanging, even though nobody is WEARING any spurs, except for Lil. Susie and Angelica meet each other at the bottom of the ladder, with Susie saying: "May the BEST Susie win!!!!" Angelica retorts: "And you WON'T!!!!" /

 

The two rivals climb up the ladder, with Angelica higher, and Susie lower. Angelica asks: "How does it feel, having already gone through the rigors of FIVE challenges, worn out and weary, while this is just my FIRST challenge THIS season, and I have LOADS of energy to SPARE?!" Susie retorts: "As if I WANT to become a SPOILED stuck-up like YOU!" Angelica replies: "Don't you know that hard work gets you NOWHERE in this world? You have to be BORN with greatness, like ME!" Susie snaps back: "At least I still HAVE my real HAIR!!!!" The two young ladies get to the top, and Angelica sarcastically says: "PLEASE! Your hair-do has its OWN gravity!" Susie gets mad and says: "That DOES it! I'm teaching YOU some MANNERS!!!!" Susie moves forward to try to SLAP Angelica, only to have Angelica try to TRIP her. But as Susie falls, she GRABS onto Angelica's right arm, and takes Angelica WITH her, as they BOTH fall down, only to end up stuck! Angelica winds up hanging from the pointed end of a weather vane, while the back of Susie's pants has snagged onto a loose nail on the barn. Susie then hears the unmistakable sound of fabric TEARING, and says: "That's not good!" A piece of Susie's pants rip off, and as Susie continues to fall to the ground she says: "Wait! I've got it!" Susie uses her BIG afro hair to land on the ground HAIR first, which she uses to BOUNCE back up and land SAFELY on Mr. Horse! Susie rides around on Mr. Horse a bit, and then jumps off!

 

Susie shouts: "HA!! Bet you're not laughing at MY hair-do now!" But then the camera pans to show that the ripped part of Susie's pants, now expose her Reptar underwear! Sniz says: "WOW! You sure showed 'HER,' and by 'HER,' I mean the ENTIRE viewing AUDIENCE!" Susie starts to growl angrily and Rocko says: "Chill! You DID just help us WIN one part of this challenge!" Sniz says: "Very true! Onto the second part!" And they leave, only to forget that Angelica is LITERALLY, still hanging! Angelica shouts: "Somebody better get me DOWN!!!! HELLO? ANYONE?!!!" / That's it for the second part of this episode, stay tuned for the third and final part! / Enough said, for now!

[4EverGreen]

At long last, here is the third and final part of "Break-Your-Neck Mesa", enjoy. / In the middle of a Western town set-up, Sniz has gathered the contestants in a circle, minus Angelica, who is STRANGELY absent. Sniz says: "Good news for you folks at home. Sniz has checked Ren, Stimpy, and Patrick out, and they are all completely FINE for competing in the remainder of this challenge! Now, the second part of this Western challenge will have us getting back to the basics of a Western. What do ALL good Western's have in common?" Marlene answers: "Pretty women like ME?!" Larry answers: "Vultures!" Haggis answers: "Uncomfortable stereotypes about certain people?" Sniz answers back: "Not the answer I was looking for; unrelated; and we don't like to talk about that LAST one! We're treading on thin ice as it IS with the episode title alone!" Skipper says: "Please! This isn't going to turn out to be like that one Fanboy & Chum-Chum episode segment that had the two boys doing the INCREDIBLY controversial thing from James Cameron's Avatar movie!" Marlene shouts: "Skipper! We're trying to lay LOW this episode!" Skipper protests: "WHAT?!!! It happened on-screen! Therefore, it's completely CANON!" Patrick says: "Even I'M not stupid enough to make THAT kind of mistake! Why, I'm not even STUPID enough to reveal how Pearl's mother was shot at!" Sandy yells: "Pearl's Mother was WHAT?!!!" Patrick realizes his blunder and with his lips trembling, shouts: "I wasn't SUPPOSED to DO that again!" Pearl screams: "My mother was SHOT?!!! With what?!" Patrick says: "I can't tell you!" Pearl sternly says: "This is the second time in two episodes where you've SAID something about my Mother! I WANT to know!"

 

Patrick nervously says: "But if I tell YOU, I'll be PUTTING you in danger!" Craig asks: "Danger from who and/or what?" Larry snidely answers: "I KNOW what Patrick is hiding from YOU, Pearl!" Patrick gasps in horror and says: "You DON'T!!!!" Larry chuckles confidently and says: "But I do! Patrick, Pearl, Craig, what do you say we ALL have a conversation in 'private?' And when I say 'private,' I mean letting EVERYONE who is NOT a contestant, get to SEE the reaction that PEARL makes when Patrick spills the beans to HER!" Patrick says: "I won't do it! I have TOO much at steak!" Larry says: "I believe you WILL! Because I personally guarantee that if you DON'T tell us what we want to know, than PEARL is the one who will pay the PRICE with elimination!"

Patrick looks at Pearl, than looks at Larry, and Patrick realizes that Larry ISN'T bluffing! Patrick sighs in defeat and says: "Fine! Take us somewhere 'private.'" And as Larry, Patrick, Pearl, and Craig walk off, Sniz says: "By the way, the answer I WAS looking for was a good old fashioned duel at high noon!" / Meanwhile, Angelica is STILL hanging from the weather vane and she says to herself: "Sniz and Fondue can't expect to break ME! I'm too STRONG for them! This 'hanging around' is kind of relaxing! I think I can even catch up on some valuable beauty sleep!" Angelica briefly closes her eyes, but she opens them again in worry, and nervously asks: "Where are THEY?!" / Larry, Patrick, Pearl, and Craig have arrived inside the safety of the Network Noobs' trailer, and Larry says: "Patrick, it's time for the TRUTH! And don't think that I won't know if you're LYING! I know more than you THINK I do!" Patrick asks: "But what if HE shows up and LEARNS what I SHARE?!" Larry says: "Oh, I'll PROTECT you AND Pearl from him, as long as you agree to MY condition!" Pearl suspiciously asks: "And what condition is THAT?" Larry answers: "You will BOTH give up any INSANE ideas you have for getting RID of me, and support me in EVERY single thing I WANT to have achieved! No questions asked!"

 

Craig protests: "But LARRY! I don't think that's fair--." Patrick quickly answers: "We'll take it!" Pearl asks: "Are you SERIOUS?!" Patrick answers: "I'm sorry, Pearl. But I really don't have a choice anymore. Here's the truth; General 'Horatio' Barracuda is back. He FORCED me into an illegal alliance with him! I wasn't going to be a part of it, until your health and safety were put on the line! So he forced me to sabotage the Boom Vets in the Retro American Movie challenge, and forced me to sabotage Ren and Stimpy so they would be separated from each other!" Craig asks: "Did he force you to get Lil Deville back in, to?" Patrick answers: "No. And quite frankly, I don't know what part Lil Deville would play in any plans of General Barracuda." Pearl asks: "Why are you acting so different?" Patrick sighs and says: "It's the brain coral General Barracuda FORCED on my head! He removed the top of my head and replaced it with the brain coral that looks like my head, and he did that once I learned the truth about Pearl's Mother; he thought it would make it so that I would NEVER tell anybody." Craig asks: "But why would General Barracuda be SO concerned about keeping whatever happened to Pearl's Mother a secret?" Patrick says: "My guess is that the only way General Barracuda even KNOWS what happened to Pearl's Mother, is because General Barracuda was RESPONSIBLE for whatever happened to Pearl's Father!" Pearl asks: "Why would you think that?" Patrick says: "General Barracuda claims that he wasn't responsible for your Mother's...untimely death by illegal javelin whaling hook shot." Pearl gasps in horror and Patrick says: "I'm sorry you had to find out that way, but Mr. Krabs is not your biological father."

 

Pearl, still in shock, says: "Deep down, I ALWAYS knew SOMETHING didn't add up! It ALWAYS seemed strange to me that I had Eugene as a dad. At least he cared enough about me to keep me safe for close to 16 years. Do you know what happened to my REAL father?" Patrick says: "I think it's fairly obvious that General Barracuda BETRAYED and MURDERED your father! It makes perfect sense! Why else would he be SO interested in KILLING all of us?! I mean, General Barracuda always DID have a long-standing grudge against Mr. Krabs! The fact that you were RAISED by him only gives him more reason to be AFTER you!" Pearl angrily says: "I can't believe it! My Mother is dead, General Barracuda killed my REAL father, and I don't even know my Mother's name!" The door opens unexpectedly, and who walks IN the trailer except General Barracuda?!!! General Barracuda says: "Her NAME was Ambrosia; a whale like YOU, Pearl. And to be honest, you inherited your eyes and your good looks from her!" Craig says: "So YOU'RE the General Barracuda that Spongebob and Sandy are so worried about! What do YOU want HERE?!" General Barracuda angrily answers: "Merely to make the soon to be DEAD Patrick SUFFER for his LAST mistake!!!!" Larry says: "You're NOT going to DO that!" General Barracuda looks at Larry suspiciously and says: "Oh; CAN'T I?!"

 

Larry says: "You're NOT if you want to keep WORKING on this show! I was WILLING to work with you, until you REFUSED my offer and went with Patrick! That's why when you WEREN'T looking, I managed to SNEAK a mini-camera with visual and recording capabilities ONTO your body! Every single THING you've been SAYING and DOING has been recorded; and is automatically transferred to a remote, undisclosed location where I can FIND and TRANSFER the footage onto master DVD copies!" General Barracuda starts to angrily say: "When I FIND the camera AND the DVD copies; you are SO going to--!" Larry scoffs and says: "Please! UNLIKE you, I'm NOT a 2-dimensional comic book villain! Do you think I would TELL you this if I THOUGHT you COULD ruin my plans? The camera is hidden where you will NEVER find it, and I'M the ONLY one who knows where the DVD copies are kept! And I can assure you, that you can NEVER force me into doing things LIKE you've done to Patrick!" General Barracuda angrily says: "YOU said that you didn't CARE either way WHAT I did with Patrick Star!" Larry says: "That was BEFORE I knew that you were putting OTHER lives on the line! That's NOT the way I work! Nobody is DYING, and if YOU even THINK about trying anything GRUESOME; I'll show ALL the footage I've acquired of you to Sniz, and he will lock you back UP forever! Do you want to go through THAT again?!"

 

General Barracuda looks at the quartet angrily, but realizes that Larry HAS gotten the better of him. General Barracuda says: "FINE! You can eliminate the contestants your OWN way; but you've only WON a single BATTLE, Larry! The WAR is FAR from over yet! Besides, you'll NEVER be able to restore Patrick to NORMAL!"

Pearl asks: "Why is that?" General Barracuda maliciously says: "Because I DESTROYED Patrick's original head top the FIRST chance I got! Patrick will NEVER be stupid AGAIN!!!! Although from my perspective; that's NOTHING but an IMPROVEMENT!!!!" And General Barracuda chuckles malevolently as he throws down a smoke bomb and escapes before the quartet can gang up on him. Patrick sighs in sadness and says: "I don't believe it. I'll NEVER become MYSELF again!" Pearl says: "At least you did the right thing. Unlike General Barracuda, you still HAVE your soul! Larry, I can't believe you did this great favor for us. Thanks!" Pearl extends her flipper to Larry's claw, but Larry pushes it aside and says: "Don't thank me, because I DIDN'T do it FOR you! I did it so you would JOIN me in MY alliance! And Patrick has already PROMISED me that YOU two would FOLLOW orders, no questions asked!" Craig says: "I really think that's unfair to them!" Larry says: "It's the LEAST they can do, I just technically SAVED their lives, not to mention yours!" Pearl says: "He's right, Craig. Unfair, or not. We DO owe Larry some form of payment. Just tell us what you want and we'll see what we can do to help." Larry chuckles in triumph and says: "Right now, there's just one thing I want more than ANYTHING else in this competition!" Patrick asks: "What is that?!" Larry answers: "The ELIMINATION of Sandy Cheeks!!!!" Craig is shocked and asked: "Why do you want HER gone?! She's smart!"

 

Larry adds: "And ON the OTHER team! That MAKES her a THREAT to us! If WE let her stay in the game, she's going to pick YOU guys off one by one with her superior intelligence! That's why we need to strike while the iron is HOT, when she DOESN'T see it coming!" Pearl says: "I don't know if I can commit to going after one of my friends, even if we're competing." Larry says: "Look at it this way; it's either HER, or US! And I don't know about you, but I have NO intention of it being ME!" Patrick says: "I hate to admit it, but he HAS a point! Sandy IS pretty much the smartest contestant this season, maybe smarter than me! If ANY of us want to have a CHANCE of making it to the team merge, than Sandy HAS to go!" Craig says: "But how can we get rid of HER? We can't control HOW her team votes!" Larry says: "If we use our heads, we won't HAVE to! The way I see it, the rest of her team needs to see how...unreliable she can be. And I think we can use Ren and Stimpy as PART of the plan!" Pearl asks: "How would we do that?" Larry answers: "Ren isn't willing to let STIMPY be eliminated; he will throw the challenge and let Stimpy be safe! We use THAT fact as a weapon AGAINST Sandy! We will ELIMINATE Ren, and threaten Stimpy's immunity, UNLESS Sandy agrees to TAKE Stimpy's place in an elimination!" Craig asks: "But will she be crazy enough to GO for it?" Larry answers: "If I know Sandy as WELL as I do, and I KNOW that I DO, she won't LET Stimpy suffer for HER mistakes, the way I SUFFERED for the mistakes SHE made with me!" Patrick asks: "What mistakes were those?" Larry answers: "Never mind that! We ALL know the FIRST thing we have to do to make a path to the team merge, correct?" And the rest of the quartet nods their heads in agreement. Larry says: "It's settled, then. Step one, we REMOVE Ren from the game! Step two, we see to it that Sandy follows!" (Confessional)

 

Larry says: "There's an old saying that goes that there is SAFETY in NUMBERS! I'm certainly safe now that Patrick and Pearl are IN my clique! They should be VERY useful to me! I'm not above HELPING other people...as long as I benefit in the process! I just wish that General Barracuda's PRICELESS expression; when I revealed to him that his plan was thwarted by ME, was all caught on CAMERA!!!!--Oh, wait; it WAS!!!!" /

General Barracuda says: "Curses, curses, CURSES!!!! That meddling lobster has the AUDACITY to stand in the way of MY revenge! But I will PERSONALLY make HIM sorry, if its the LAST thing I do! Nobody gets in the way of General Barracuda's REVENGE and gets to live for LONG!!!!" / Patrick says: "So now I've got Larry's protection, and I no longer have to lie to Pearl to protect her. I mean, it's not going to get my OLD head back, but at least now I don't have to feel like a heel anymore. The truth has set me free, and I don't EVER plan on being a pawn of General Barracuda AGAIN!" (End Confessional) / Angelica is STILL hanging from on top the weather vane and asks: "Did Sniz and Fondue REALLY leave ME up here on PURPOSE?! All because I THREATENED to SUE them?! For that ONE, itty, bitty, mistake?! Okay, maybe it was a HUGE mistake; because here I am, being left to HANG until I'm NOTHING but a decomposed, skeleton of lavish beauty! What do those guys expect from ME?!" Than the light hits on Angelica Pickles, and she actually HAS an EPIPHANY! Angelica says: "All right. Lying, bullying, AND cheating everybody else on my LAST season was a BAD thing; I get IT!!!! I DID a LOT of LOUSY things! Now, how about some forgiveness?! Show a girl some LOVE! A drop!" / Larry, Craig, Pearl, and Patrick return to Sniz and the others after having their 'private' conversation, and Rancid asks: "What did YOU guys, talk about?!" Larry says: "If you're NOT part of MY alliance, you're NOT going to know! And quite frankly, you're NOT going to get to stay LONG in the game as a result!" (Confessional)

 

Rancid rhetorically asks: "Not going to last long? I lasted THREE whole seasons on Catdog as a regular character on that show! Larry's lucky if he gets one REGULAR appearance on a whole SEASON on Spongebob! I'm more likely to win the game than HE is! I'm SO not worried about him!" (End Confessional)

Sniz says: "It's about time we got EVERYBODY back here, it's time to explain how the duel is going to work! We're going to be using water pistols; that way, nobody will ACTUALLY get hurt! Someone on each team will have to be chosen to duel, and whoever gets LUCKY enough to have their TARGET acquired; wins a part of this three part challenge! The question is; who wants to do the dueling selection?" (Confessional) Ren says: "Finally! I have a chance to set things RIGHT with Stimpy! I'll pick someone lousy, they'll lose, and I get to keep Stimpy around for another challenge!" / Larry says: "This is where Ren's game will break down. Ren can't think STRAIGHT as long as he's thinking about Stimpy! Come to think of it, I don't think Ren can think STRAIGHT about ANYTHING!!!!" Larry chuckles derisively and says: "Oh, yeah! I went THERE!" (End Confessional) Ren nervously says: "Right! As team leader, I choose Dog to be our dueler!" Larry suspiciously asks: "You want to use DOG, as target practice; just LOOK at him!" And everyone looks at the naked Dog, playing with a tennis ball and frolicking around with a bunch of desert hares and a Jackalope! (Confessional) Dog says: "Cat says that I have a hard time focusing, or taking a lot of things seriously, but I think I have a good chance to make it far in this game! I'm FAR more capable than he gives ME credit for! I can take care of myself!" /

 

Stimpy says: "Ren's THROWING the challenge for me; doesn't he REALIZE the DANGER he's putting HIMSELF in?" Stinky says: "I don't think he does, Dad." Stimpy says: "This relationship with Ren, why does it have to be SO confusing?! I thought that a romance with Lil would put me on the RIGHT path! I can't understand why I CAN'T stop being concerned about him!" / Haggis says: "I'm starting to think I was right! Stimpy DOES have certain feelings for Ren! But he's obviously afraid! Stimpy doesn't want to break convention! I don't know the reason WHY; but Stimpy SHOULD know that its not HEALTHY to keep his emotions bottled up! I know Stimpy LIKES to be HAPPY; but Stimpy HAS to know that nobody can be happy all the time; not even him!" (End Confessional) Larry says: "Face it, Ren. Dog is a guaranteed hit!" Dog says: "Don't worry about it! I'd be HAPPY to duel! As soon as I get a drink of water!" And Dog starts gulping water from the water trough, and Sniz shouts: "NO!!!! That water was supposed to be used in the WATER pistols! Now it's got your saliva and who knows what else in there! We can't POSSIBLY use it now!" Fondue says: "And I'm certainly NOT lugging water all the way from Lake Okeefenokee back HERE again!" Sniz says: "And quite frankly, I can't blame you!" Treeflower says: "Big deal! Just have the Fairy God-parents poof the water back to normal!" Sniz says: "I would, but we've got a TIGHT schedule to keep, and we're running WAY behind as it is! So let's just split the difference and call THIS part of the challenge a draw. Next part of the challenge!" / The rest of the group is in a corral, only to see a bunch of wild buffalo roaming around. Haggis asks: "How did you get a bunch of buffalo to make their home in Florida?" Sniz says: "They were left-overs from the movie version of The Lone Ranger. Johnny Depp didn't know what to do with them, so we took them off his hands, for free!"

 

Marlene says: "I'd be MORE impressed if he got the buffalo from Nicole Sullivan for free!" Gerald asks: "Who's Nicole Sullivan?!" Marlene says: "Only the successful actress who's going to play ME in my EVENTUAL multiple Oscar-winning movie biopic! She used to be on MadTV!" Gerald asks: "What's MadTV?" Marlene scoffs and says: "You are SO out of sync!" (Confessional) Marlene says: "Some cool guy GERALD is! Doesn't even know who Nicole Sullivan is!" / Gerald says: "So I've never watched MadTV before! How was I supposed to know it was 'cool' and 'popular'?!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "In any case, you contestants will be on a home where the BUFFALO roam, and maybe some deer and antelope play where the sky is not cloudy all day!" Rancid adds: "Or cloudy at all!" Sniz says: "Don't be snide! California is having a difficult drought situation right now." Darwin asks: "What does that have to do with us?" Sniz says: "Just trying to stay topical! One team will be the buffalo rustlers, the other team will be the buffalo." Sandy says: "You forgot to pluarlize it." Spongebob says: "Actually Sandy, according to the English dictionary, a single buffalo is often referred to a bison, and a group of bison are referred to a Buffalo herd. What's REALLY interesting though, is that American Buffalo's aren't ACTUALLY related to African Water Buffalo's; but it's a common mistake." (Confessional) Sandy says: "I REALLY love Spongebob; but he doesn't know WHEN to withhold information." / Spongebob says: "Yeah, I think I kind of shot myself in the foot there; metaphorically speaking of course. I REALLY need to develop my communication skills better!" (End Confessional) Sniz asks: "Can we PLEASE STOP dragging conversations out?!" Fondue answers: "I don't know. It is YOUR show!"

 

Sniz face-palms himself and frustrated, says: "That was a RHETORICAL question!" Fondue says: "Sorry!" Sniz says: "In any case, the Network Noobs will be the rustlers, the Boom Vets will be the Buffalo!" A strange humming sound that Rocko hears, seems to mesmerize him, and he begins to shake and his eyes glaze over. Reggie notices this and asks: "Rocko? What's happening?" Haggis says: "It's no use talking to him; I've seen this before! His walk-about vision quest has started! Once the trance takes him, he's going to be on his own existential plane, and he won't come out of it until he has his epiphany!" Reggie asks: "You've SEEN this before?!" Haggis answers: "Eleven times, as a matter of fact!" Stimpy says: "At least it's not nine!" Rocko, unaware of his own actions, walks up to Rancid and TEARS the clothes off of him! Rancid screams: "Hey! What gives?!" Rocko, entranced says: "Wild Australian Hare, must have race against Australian Wallaby." Rancid asks: "What is he talking about?" Craig answers: "He must think that you're an Australian rival of his! Just go along with it!" Larry is all decked out in his cowboy gear and says: "Suits me just fine! Where would a GREAT cowboy be without a noble steed? Since I don't HAVE a noble steed; Rancid will do just fine!" Rancid growls angrily says: "Fine! But don't think that you getting to RIDE me means anything to me! This is just to further my OWN chances of winning this game!" Larry snidely says: "Sure! Whatever you say!" Rocko points to Reggie, and entranced says: "You come with me." Reggie quickly looks at her friends and nervously says: "No way I'm NOT sticking with you!" Stimpy is looking at his Buffalo gear strangely, but Ren says: "Don't worry about your horns and fur! It makes you look like a strong guy! You know, BUFF as a BUFFALO!!!!" (Confessional)

 

Stimpy strangely shouts: "Buff as a BUFFALO?!!!" / Ren slaps himself in the head three times, FURTHER making his fore-head hand print more evident and says: "Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!! I'm blowing my relationship with STIMPY AGAIN!!!! BLOWING IT!!!!" / Larry snidely says: "I bet that's not the ONLY thing of Stimpy's that Ren has BLOWN!!!!" Larry chuckles derisively and says: "Oh, yeah! I went THERE!!!!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "All right! Everyone get in position! Get ready to ride it like its Sweeps Week, because it's time to bring in the ratings!" Reggie is holding onto Rocko, like a person holds onto a horse, and Reggie says to herself: "I wonder if Mark Hamill felt this nervous before riding HIS first Taun-Taun? Oh, Rocko! I sure wish I knew what was going on in that mind of yours! I hope you KNOW what you're doing!" Rocko, of course, doesn't answer as he's still entranced. Sniz says: "Whichever team rounds up the most contestants, wins the challenge and invincibility! On your mark, get set--" And Sniz shoots a pistol, but it turns out to be a toy pistol with a deployment flag that comes out and says: "Bang!" Larry snidely asks: "Oh, REN!!!! Does that SIGN give you any ideas on WHO--I mean, 'WHAT,' to DO?!!!" (Confessional) Larry chuckles derisively and says: "Oh, yeah! I went THERE!!!!" (End Confessional) Ren can only look on nervously, worried about how HE'S going to throw the challenge, and NOT get eliminated himself! Sniz sighs and says: "Someone replaced my PISTOL again!" Larry shouts: "Wouldn't be the FIRST time!" Sniz shouts: "Stop making under-the-radar jokes! And go!" The Network Noobs race around, trying their hardest, but they keep MISSING the Boom Vets and only rope the REAL Buffalo!

 

Skipper says: "These are sure BIG pieces of meat!" Larry snidely says: "I bet Ren wishes he had SOME 'kitty' meat right now! Don't you?!" (Confessional) Larry chuckles derisively and says: "Oh, yeah! I went THERE!!!!" (End Confessional) Darwin suspiciously asks: "Kitty meat?" Larry sighs and says: "I WOULD have said something else, but standards won't let me!" Ren is trembling with nervousness, but he says: "I don't need my medicine, I don't need my medicine, I don't need my medicine, I DEFINITELY don't need my medicine, I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it..." But at that precise moment, he walks backwards and bumps INTO Stimpy, and Stimpy asks: "Ren, what's on YOUR mind?!" Ren, shaking all over, realizes that he can't CONTAIN himself anymore and screams: "I NEED IT!!!!" And he runs toward Larry and says: "You HAVE to give my medicine back!" Larry says: "Not a chance! You made me promise to hold ONTO your medicine; and I quote, no matter how much you 'begged,' or 'pleaded,' or 'whined', or 'complained', to NOT give your medicine BACK EVER! You made me PROMISE that, Ren! And THAT'S a promise, I intend on KEEPING!!!!" Ren gasps in horror, realizes that he's out of options! Ren says: "When all else fails, go for BROKE!!!!" And Ren rushes back to Stimpy, and puts his hands on him! Ren nervously says: "Stimpy! You're the most important cat in the entire UNIVERSE to me! You HAVE to know I don't value ANYONE over you! I would do ANYTHING for you!" Stimpy asks: "Is your medication NOT working?" Ren says: "I can't HAVE my medication! I NEED to HAVE you! Don't you understand?! You COMPLETE me!" Stimpy says: "You CAN'T be thinking what I think you're thinking!" Ren says: "If Fanboy and Chum-Chum can do the James Cameron Avatar hair thing; then THIS won't be a problem!" Stinky asks: "WHAT thing?" Ren says: "Feel THIS and TRY to tell me it DOESN'T mean something to YOU!!!!"

 

And in a GREAT big GASP; it seems that the rest of the world slows down and STOPS; except for Ren, whose mouth makes his way for Stimpy's! In slow motion, Marlene screams: "Don't do it, REN! Larry wants to ELIMINATE YOU!!!!" But Ren no longer cares, and before anyone else has anytime to BLINK, Ren PLANTS a BIG KISS on Stimpy, right in PLAIN view of Lil and the ENTIRE viewing audience! Ren holds this kiss for a good 30 seconds, although the slow motion makes it FEEL a lot longer! Finally, Ren breaks away from Stimpy, and the slow motion finally stops, and everybody GASPS at what Ren has just done! (Confessional) Larry chuckles derisively and says: "Oh, yeah! I TOTALLY called it!" / Lil, in an unusual complete shock, says: "What just HAPPENED there?!" / Sandy gasps in horror, face-palms herself, and says: "You DIDN'T take your medicine! You just COULDN'T take your medicine; could you?!" / Gerald says: "Two words: Freak-KEY!!!! What?! I'm cool with THAT!" / Haggis says: "Well, I suppose that having broken every OTHER barrier, Ren and Stimpy WOULD have to break THAT one sooner or later; but was it WORTH it?!" (End Confessional) Otto screams: "What ARE you THINKING?!!! What in the ENTIRE world were you POSSIBLY thinking?!" Ren falls down to his knees and sadly screams: "I couldn't HIDE it any longer!" Otto says: "It's not like you were doing a stellar job of HIDING it before!" Meanwhile, the rest of the contestants almost fail to notice Rocko and Rancid racing against each other, with Reggie and Larry riding them respectively, each trying to rope the other! Larry says: "Give it up, girl! You're WAY out of your league!" Reggie says: "Not if that league is the top surfing league in Ocean Shores, California! Only the BEST get in THAT league!" Larry asks: "Do you think THAT worries me?!" Reggie answers: "You're foolish if you're NOT worried!"

 

Rancid, in an unusual, optimistic matter, says: "You know, this is kind of a RELAXING race. I think I'm ENJOYING this. I'm ACTUALLY ENJOYING this! Who knew living like this would make me SO happy?!" Larry stops Rancid racing and angrily says: "Don't tell ME what YOU'RE enjoying, because I don't CARE about it! All I care about is WINNING and I will ELIMINATE anyone who gets in the WAY of THAT!!!!" And as Larry raises his left claw, prepared to strike Rancid, Rocko FINALLY snaps out of his entrancement and says: "I KNOW my purpose!!!!" Larry gets startled, lowers his claw, and shouts: "WHAT?!" Rocko, with a great wallaby side leap, jumps toward Larry and EPIC KICKS Larry in the FACE!!!! Rocko says: "It's all clear to me, Reggie! If I'm going to be big, I'm going to use my bigness for good, just like Really, Really Big Man! I'll help those not as fortunate to be vertically gifted, and protect them from those who would use THEIR bigness to bully and push others around! And THAT is the epiphany I learned in my walk-about!" Rancid chuckles happily and says: "I'm glad you're willing to be a good guy, even to someone like me!" Rocko says: "Everyone deserves a chance to redeem themselves, even someone like you!" And Rocko notices that Larry is getting up and Larry says: "You are SO lucky I DIDN'T lose a TOOTH!!!!" Rocko says to Larry: "And I'd like to say that you've gotten what YOU deserve, but you're not off the hook of karma yet! However, I don't believe in bad karma myself, so I'll split the difference!"

 

And before Larry can react, Rocko uses his tail to balance on the ground, and uses his legs to kick Larry back DOWN to the ground, hard! Rocko says: "Don't look down on others Larry; one day, you may be DOWN with them! You may be BIG on the outside, but NOT on the inside! Only when you find out what TRUE bigness is, will you be able to learn WHY I beat you today!" (Confessional) Larry says: "Note to self, NEVER make fun of Rocko's BIGNESS again!" / Reggie cheers: "Yes! Rocko did it! He sure taught Larry a thing or two! That Wallaby of mine is all KINDS of AWESOME!!!!" / Rocko says: "The walk-about I took felt intense. I wasn't quite sure how it was going to go, but I'm definitely glad that I faced that challenge like a true Australian would. I definitely feel better about my chances of winning this season than I did last season; as long as I can have Reggie of course!" / Ren slaps himself in the head FOUR times, and says: "Stupid! Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!! Why didn't I KEEP myself under control?! I gave myself ONE task; and I couldn't even stay committed to THAT one task!" / Stimpy nervously says: "Mother, father, I want to let you know RIGHT now that I did NOT plan that! Ren KISSED me! I'm the kissed or whatever it's called! You know I would NEVER have thoughts like that! It's like you always tell me; be the GOOD boy everyone KNOWS you are! And I AM a GOOD boy, right?!" Stinky says: "I think the HARD truth is staring you right in the face!" Stimpy sighs and says: "I am in SO much TROUBLE with my team!" / (End Confessional) Sniz says: "I think we've had ENOUGH controversy for ONE day! CLEARLY, Ren couldn't keep his ACT together! Therefore, I decree that the Network Noobs have FORFEITED this challenge, and victory goes to the Boom Vets! So someone's going to be BRANDED the LOSER!" Sniz points over to a selection of cattle branders and asks: "Who's going to take one for the team?!"

 

Ren raises his hand and says: "I'll do it! But can I have a choice? Maybe an 'S' shaped cattle brander, for 'Stimpy'?!" (Confessional) Stimpy shouts: "S for STIMPY?!!! Okay, this has GOT to STOP!!!!" / Ren slaps himself in the head FIVE times, making his hand imprint on his fore-head red from bruising, and says: "Stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid; and STUPID!!!!" Wanda appears in the Confessional, and poofs an ice pack on Ren's head. Ren says: "Thank you, Wanda." (End Confessional) The cattle branders are ALL in a recycling bin, and Sniz says: "Apparently, cattle branding is out. So Network Noobs, you're going to face an old-fashioned elimination! Someone is heading to the LAST round-up! Boom Vets, clean yourself up! Just use the water trough! It's clean now!" / Stimpy heads over to the NORMAL showers, only to see Ren coming out of there. Stimpy asks: "You're not at the water trough, cleaning up with the others?" Ren says: "I'm taking a NORMAL shower. I feel like I've made ENOUGH of a fool of myself for ONE day!" Stimpy looks down, sad, and says: "Ren, you know I have to talk to you." Ren nervously says: "Please TELL me this ISN'T what I think it is!" Stimpy looks up, sighs, and says: "It's what you think it is." Ren shouts: "I TOLD you not to TELL me that!" Stimpy says: "It's not you, it's me. Well, it's mostly you. But you HAVE to understand! I'm the ONLY male heir to my family's fortune! The entire clan is relying on ME to get married, have a kid, and live life just like they ALL have! And believe me, I WOULDN'T even consider this unless I THOUGHT that you COULD fit into that equation!" Ren nervously asks: "What are you SAYING; Stimpy?!" Stimpy sighs, and finally says: "It's over, Ren. I HAVE to be the GOOD boy EVERYONE knows I AM! The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few." Ren sadly adds: "Or the one." Stimpy says: "If it's any consolation, if this were under ANY other circumstances..."

 

Ren asks: "Which circumstances?" Stimpy shakes his head and says: "I should have learned how to quit you a lot sooner." Stimpy walks away, and doesn't even look back; Stimpy tries to fight back his tears and says: "Don't let him see you cry; don't EVER let him see YOU cry!" And as Stimpy sadly walks back to his trailer, he begins singing the Eurythmics 2005 hit song, "I've Got a Life." / Turn it down so I can tear it, turn it up so I can see it.
It's just useless to ignore. We're goin' down, you don't feel it, turn it around, because you don't mean it.
And I can't stand it anymore. When the whole world sighs, And it's makin' you feel so deflated.

I've got a life, though it refuses to shine. (Got a life) I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over. (Got a life)
I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine. (Got a way) All I'm asking for is tenderness, a little tenderness, tenderness. Ooh, it's a cruel place, you never asked to be here. Nobody cares, and no one's gonna help you now, oh no. It's dog eat dog, (dog eat dog) the human race (the human race), the only thing they'll do is hate you, hate you. Such a crime to be unkind, you turn your cheek, pretend you're blind. I've got a life, though it refuses to shine (Got a life) I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over (Got a life) I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine. (Got a way) All I'm asking for is tenderness, a little tenderness (tenderness)

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, ohhh...I've got a life, though it refuses to shine (Got a life) I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over (Got a life) I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine. (Got a way)

All I'm asking for is tenderness, a little tenderness. Be strong now baby, oh, you gotta be strong now, baby.
Gotta be strong now, baby. Oh, you gotta be strong. Strong now baby, oh you gotta be strong now, baby.
I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine. All I'm asking for is tenderness, a little tenderness.

 

/ Stimpy is back outside the Boom Vets trailers, when Sandy, Spongebob and Lil come to him, only to see him crying his heart out! Spongebob asks: "Stimpy, whatever is the matter?!" Stimpy bawls: "It was AWFUL!!!! I hope I NEVER have to BREAK up with another friend EVER again! I don't think my heart can TAKE it!" Sandy shouts: "How could you DO that?!" Lil asks: "Why DID you do that?!" Stimpy cries and says: "I HAD to! I had no choice!" Sandy defiantly says: "Of course you had a choice! You ALWAYS had a choice! You CHOSE to ignore your feelings, you CHOSE to act out your ANGER, and now you've CHOSEN to end a friendship just because you THINK that you CAN'T admit your feelings for Ren! You've had a LOT of choices, Stimpy! And you didn't have to let it COME to this!" Stimpy is still sniffling, but stops crying long enough to say: "What else could I have done? What else could have anyone done?!" Lil says: "You could've chosen to do the right thing in the first place!" Stimpy shouts: "I DID do the right thing! It's what's best for everybody!" Spongebob asks: "Best for everyone, or best for your family?" Stimpy blows his nose and says: "It doesn't matter, does it? It's over now. No amount of apologizing could repair what I've done to Ren!" Sandy asks: "Why? What DID you to do Ren?" Stimpy stops crying briefly and says: "It's all my fault! I should've said something the first chance I got in the Jungle episode! When Ren was acting up, I thought his medicine wasn't working AGAIN, and that he needed some help with his attitude." Sandy says: "Stimpy, you have to KNOW something. Ren hasn't been taking his medicine. I don't know for how long or why; but he just CAN'T seem to take it." Stimpy angrily says: "I should've KNOWN something was up by the way Ren was acting, but I just took Ren for his word again, like a stupid child! Why do I ALWAYS trust the very characters that are so OBVIOUSLY the ones that I can't and shouldn't TRUST?!"

 

Spongebob says: "Stimpy, there's nothing WRONG with looking for the good in ANYBODY! Ren wasn't TRYING to be malicious." Lil says: "Even I tried to help him out. I thought if I took the moniker of one of his alter-egos, he wouldn't act as desperately as he has been." Stimpy says: "But Ren doesn't know what to do if he actually GOT help! During the Jungle episode, I...did something TERRIBLE!!!! Instead of reacting loving and kindly, Stinky's presence broke a NERVE inside me! It's like, I FINALLY understood that Ren's behavior wasn't GOOD for Stinky! So...I punched Ren in the FACE! I just couldn't keep my emotions bottled up ANY longer, and it just EXPLODED, on the one guy I NEVER wanted it to explode on!" Spongebob shouts: "How could you EXPLODE on Ren?! You should know that you CAN'T keep your emotions bottled up on the inside! I spent a lot of my OWN life trying; it DOESN'T work!" Stimpy says: "But my mom told me that the best thing in life was to be happy. I thought that if I was ALWAYS happy, everything would work out. But recently, everything has been going wrong ever since I punched Ren, and all because I was afraid to confront my own feelings about Ren. I've been so torn. On the one hand, I wanted to be happy. But on the other hand, I wanted to be good. I had a terrible choice to make; so in my mind, I chose the lesser of two evils." Sandy says: "If you make choices like that, you're not making a good choice at all." Stimpy sighs and says: "You're right. But I wanted to save my relationship with Lil, and save my standing with my family. Those things were important to me. Do you think I WANT to take the chance that when I get old enough to be on my own, that I WON'T have my money waiting for me?!" Lil says: "You could've said something to ME, if nothing else. We could've worked something out." Stimpy says: "Figures! The story of my life! I do something that I think is GOOD, and it blows up in my face! And other than me, nobody else has EVER been loyal enough to EVER be THERE for Ren, unconditionally and in every way."

 

Sandy sighs in sadness and says: "I was." Stimpy gets stunned and says: "You were?!" Sandy sheds a tear and says: "Stimpy, I told Ren he should be concentrated on thinking about you. I was WORRIED about him. I thought I was doing the RIGHT thing!" A voice from the shadows, coming from Larry, says: "It wouldn't be the FIRST time you made such a blatant mistake like that!" Spongebob says: "If it isn't Larry, the anti-me! If you've come to make US feel bad, it's pointless! There's no WAY we could feel any worse than we are now!" Pearl, Patrick, and Craig all come out of the shadows to join Larry, and Larry says: "Oh, but you're SO wrong, Spongebob! You can ALWAYS feel WORSE! Trust me, Sandy has done it to me, she's done it with EVERY other guy she dated before; how long before she does it to you?!" Sandy gets up, and in defiance, says: "I've NEVER treated a guy badly a day in my life!" Larry says: "That's a lie! How do you think I FELT when you flat-out broke up with ME?! Four MONTHS we dated! Than you don't call, you don't write, you don't even have the courtesy to TEXT me that you had moved on with someone new! Do you think it makes me HAPPY that I had to hear it from SQUIDWARD of ALL the Bikini Bottom creatures that you were NOW dating Spongebob?! How much of a slap in the FACE do you think THAT felt like to me?!" Sandy asks: "Is that the only reason you've been going after me? Because of ONE incident of neglect?!" Larry says: "My relationship was much more than that! You were strong, you were athletic, and your brains complimented my beauty! I knew I found the perfect MATCH when I met you, I fell in LOVE with you, I did NOTHING but kiss the ground you WALKED upon, and THIS is how you REPAY me?!"

 

Sandy says: "You're not faultless, either! Showing off on the beach, hitting it off with EVERY single female that came within ten FEET of YOU!" Larry gasps and shouts: "I was a LIFEGUARD!!!! Those women meant NOTHING to me! I had to SAVE most of them at least ONE point during the summer! You were the ONLY women I EVER had real feelings for, but now that I know that you're the type of girl who AUTOMATICALLY jumps to conclusions without even CONSIDERING how it makes others FEEL when you WON'T even TALK to them about it, than it makes me ASHAMED to admit that I was EVER once in love with you!" Sandy gets shocked; backs up, and asks: "You mean, all this time, I was the one in the WRONG?!!!" Patrick says: "It's sad, but true." Sandy falls to the ground and pleads: "I'm SO ashamed! Larry, don't you know I would NEVER intentionally hurt someone else's feelings. I just automatically assumed you moved on with your life, so I was doing the same! But I would NEVER turn my back on Spongebob!" Pearl asks: "Why should we believe YOU?! Haven't you turned your back on Ren Hoek?! When he needed someone's help the most, you weren't there to help him!" Sandy says: "That wasn't my fault! There was no way I could've known that he was going to take my advice THAT literally! I just couldn't have predicted THAT!" Larry asks: "Why should WE believe THAT?! For all WE know, this is all just part of your OWN plot to advance YOUR game and get closer to winning the prize money!" Craig adds: "And for what it's worth, that's NOT a nice thing to do!" Sandy says: "I had NOTHING to do with the way Ren acted, I swear!" Larry says: "It's too late to regret YOUR mistakes! When I tell the truth about this WHOLE thing to Sniz and Fondue, Stimpy is going to PAY the price!" Sandy looks at Stimpy, and desperately says: "Oh, there must be SOME way to SPARE him...WAIT!!!!" And Larry looks back at Sandy, and Sandy, with a heavy heart, sighs and says: "I'll take the fall instead." Larry rhetorically says: "YOU?!!!"

 

Than Larry gets a genuine, concerned look on his face, almost refusing to believe what he just heard, and asks: "You WOULD take Stimpy's place?" Spongebob says: "Don't DO it, Sandy! You don't know what you're saying!" Sandy asks: "If I did, would you spare Stimpy and Spongebob?" Larry answers: "Yes. But after the team merge, I can't be held responsible for what happens to them." Sandy looks at Larry suspiciously and says: "Show me how strong you are again." And Larry, in one of the ultimate FORMS of physique show-off, slowly pumps up EVERY single muscle in his body, revealing there's not ONE weak spot for ANYONE to exploit, and Sandy gasps in horror, realizing that Spongebob doesn't have a PRAYER against Larry's superior strength! Spongebob says: "No, Sandy! I CAN'T let you do this!" But Sandy gets up, realizing that there IS no other way to keep Stimpy out of harm's way. And without even opening up her eyes, Sandy walks up to Larry and says: "You have my word." Larry says: "Done! But remember, you OWE me, Sandy!" (Confessional) Patrick says: "I was just as surprised as everybody else there. I REALLY didn't think Sandy would take the brunt of Larry's attack. But now that I've heard Larry's side of the story, it makes me realize that Larry knew what he was talking about. I would've never guessed that Sandy was actually in the WRONG to treat Larry the way she HAS been treating him!" /

 

Larry says: "On the one claw, I don't like this bargain! It makes it so I have to keep Spongebob and Stimpy around! But I promised myself that Sandy would see how ERRONEOUS her mistakes were, and pay the price for making them! Now I've finally CAUGHT Sandy, and I've got her RIGHT where I WANT her! All that's left now, is for me to REEL her in!" / Sandy says: "What other choice did I have? If I didn't make that bargain, Stimpy would be the one suffering, and I couldn't let him suffer anymore! I guess that old saying from my Pappy in Texas was true; always look before you leap! Now I KNOW why that statement is true!" / Spongebob says: "It's not over for Sandy, and it's DEFINITELY not over for me! No matter HOW insurmountable an obstacle may seem, I will NEVER give up on Sandy OR my own dreams! If Larry wants to have a fight with me, I WILL give him one! I'm no longer the little yellow sponge he can just brush aside! I have TWO movies to my resume now! If he wants to rumble with me, than a rumble is what HE is going to get!" / Pearl says: "As far as I figure, it's all over but the shouting." / General Barracuda shouts: "This is SO unfair!!!! It should've been MY plan that's going to get Ren Hoek eliminated and set up Sandy so that SHE would take the fall for Stimpy! I will make Larry pay DEARLY for this!!!!" / At the Silver Sniz stage, Sniz says: "Network Noobs, it's time for another edition of team-mate vote off!"

 

And as the Silver Sniz theme plays, it wakes up Angelica Pickles, who is STILL hanging from the weather vane, and Angelica asks: "Now TELL me that is NOT the Silver Sniz Theme?! This ISN'T funny anymore, this is DOWNRIGHT CRUEL!!!!" / Sniz says: "Before we go any further, I regret to announce that because of recent actions that you took Ren, I'm afraid you broke the rules. And you can't break the rules and stay on this show, so I'm afraid you'll have to be REMOVED from it!" And Sniz snaps his fingers, summoning gorillas Bada and Bing from "The Penguins of Madagascar," who grab Ren. And Ren shouts: "Wait! I can't leave without saying good-bye to Stimpy!" Bada and Bing take no heed of Ren's words, and cart him off to the Limo of Loser's. And as they carry him, Ren shouts out: "STIMPY!!!!" And Bada and Bing THROW Ren into the Limo of Loser's, but the Limo doesn't take OFF yet! Patrick asks: "Since you just technically REMOVED Ren from the game, that means we don't ACTUALLY need an elimination ceremony tonight, right?" Sniz makes a buzzing sound and says: "EHHH!!!! Wrong! With Lil Deville back in the game, our contestant quota is one person extra from where we need to be. We need to vote off ONE more contestant in order to get our numbers to where they need to be! So we'll just remove Ren Hoek from the list of choices as to WHO you can eliminate, and you can pick your loser!" Larry whispers to Pearl, Patrick, and Craig: "Vote off Rancid." And everyone makes their choices as to WHO will have to go. Sniz says: "Voting's over! So now it's time--." Rancid says: "Wait! I have an announcement to make to everybody!" Larry asks: "And what announcement is that?!" Rancid says: "I know that you think VERY little of me, and you down-right hate my guts! But that no longer matters to me anymore! You want to know WHY?!" Larry answers: "Because I just PERSONALLY made sure--."

 

Rancid TEARS off his suit, making him completely naked and shouts: "I QUIT!!!! All these years as Mayor of Nearburg, it never occurred to me as to WHY I was feeling so nasty! But thanks to Rocko, I finally realized that I absolutely HATED wearing those stiff, bland, clothes! Hated, hated, hated, HATED them! But I no longer have to put up with them! Like Dog, I'm free to be who I WANT to be, and I no longer have to BE Rancid, even if THAT'S my name! Dog, don't EVER stop being yourself!" Dog happily looks on and says: "You got it! My fellow, naked mammal!" Rancid says: "All right, Sniz. I'm ready to depart!" And Rancid happily hops naked to the Limo of Losers, and it finally takes off! Larry bitterly says: "Spoil-sport! Doesn't even let me have the COURTESY to let ME vote him off!" Sniz says: "Not that it matters to me, because we've FINALLY finished another episode with absolutely NO loose ends to tie up, RIGHT?!" And Fondue thinks about it, completely IGNORING the fact that Angelica is STILL hanging from the weather-vane and shouting: "Yoo-hoo! Guys! Can anybody HEAR me?!!!" Fondue stops thinking and says: "No!" Sniz says: "Good! I didn't think so either!" / Episode Notes: This episode marks the first time that someone has been eliminated for breaking the rules, as opposed to having to be voted off or eliminated by med-evac. First on-screen kiss between TWO guys on "Total Cartoon Action" (and it won't be the last!) Lil Deville comes BACK into the game due to a technicality. General Barracuda's evil plan is FOILED, and Patrick is released from General Barracuda's control. The name of Pearl's Mother is revealed to be Ambrosia. / That wraps up THIS exciting story-line from "Total Cartoon Action!" Enough said, true believers!

"Performance Review: Ren's Descent" A special intro is played at the beginning of this episode, as the words "Total Cartoon Action" appear on-screen, followed by the words "Performance Review." Clips of Ren talking about Stimpy, followed by Stimpy sighing, are seen. Ren says: "You truly are my best pal, Stimpy!" Stimpy sighs. Ren shouts: "I do NOT have a PROBLEM Stimpy!" Stimpy EPIC punches Ren in the face, than it shows Stimpy sighing. Ren says: "I don't think Stimpy even thinks of me as STRONG anymore!" Stimpy sighs. Ren shouts: "Look at Stimpy!" Stimpy sighs. Ren says: "It's not enough for our car to just drive good, it has to look good, like Stimpy!" Stimpy sighs. Ren shouts: "Stimpy! You can't just walk off of a movie set!" Stimpy sighs. Ren asks: "It was a good movie! Right, Stimpy?" Stimpy sighs. Ren shouts: "Wait! I can't leave without saying good-bye to Stimpy!" Stimpy sighs. Ren shouts: "STIMPY!!!!" The intro cuts back to the words "Total Cartoon Action: Performance Review," and the CGI words make a fancy exit off the screen as the special intro music is played. /

 

The episode opens up properly, in what looks like a talk show setting, and sitting on two opposing sides, is Norbert Beaver on the right side of the screen sitting in a green couch; and Daggett Beaver on the left side of the screen sitting in a green couch. The non-returning contestants from season one, are seen in bleachers on the far left and right side of the screen. Norbert says: "Welcome to the Total Cartoon Action Performance Review! I'm your handsome main host Norbert McHandsome, and this is my SOMEHOW related, yet not as handsome co-host Daggett!" Daggett says: "Exscuse me?! How did I get lumped into this with you?!" Norbert says: "Sniz and Fondue felt really bad about the way I had to leave Total Cartoon Action without a proper vote-off. They both thought that it wasn't a dignified way for me to be eliminated, so they asked if I would host this special performance review thing for them! I agreed, but only if I could get someone with curves to bounce off of! I didn't think they would choose YOU for that position!" Daggett says: "Spooty Fairy Godparents! I wish they had found some other musical monkey or something to host this...what is a Performance Review anyways?!"

 

Norbert says: "A Performance Review" is a way for us to recap the events of the previous six episodes. We take a look at the contestants who have been eliminated, interview them, and have a LOT of fun in the process!" Aang angrily says: "Speak for YOURSELF!!!!" Norbert says: "I WAS speaking for myself, but I'm glad you brought yourself up! Audience, meet our panelists, who appeared as contestants on Total Cartoon Island!" And the in-studio audience cheers, as a spotlight shines on each of the contestants that Norbert mentions. Norbert says: "Aang the Avatar! Roger Plotz! Helga G. Patacki! Chuckie Finster! Doug Funny! Phoebe Hyerdahl! Bunny the Giant Rabbit! Jimmy Neutron! And Patty Mayonnaise!" Patty stops messing around with her hair and says: "Wait a minute! Was I supposed to be doing something?!" Norbert shakes his head and says: "Poor Patty, she just hasn't been the same ever since she accidentally got hid in the head with a baseball bat." Daggett says: "You said it!" Norbert says: "And we OBVIOUSLY would've included Angelica Pickles, but thanks to her knowledge of a certain Lawyer named Johnathan, she managed to finesse her way onto another Total Cartoon season!" Aang sarcastically says: "And that's what everyone REALLY wants; another season focused on that JERKFACE Angelica!"

 

Norbert says: "I'm sensing some hostility, Aang. Why don't you tell us what has got you so upset?" Aang rolls his eyes and says: "Oh, nothing much; except for the fact that Angelica HUMILIATED me during TCI immunity challenge #4! FIFTEEN contestants HUMILIATED me when we played "Super Street Fighter II Turbo" when I WOULD'VE WON in a FAIR fight! But on top of ALL that; EVERYONE HERE HUMILIATED ME BY LYING TO ME ABOUT MY LIVE-ACTION MOVIE!!!!" Helga says: "Sheesh! And I thought that I was the definition of anger problems!" Norbert says: "Aang, we cannot be held responsible for what the WORLD thought of that live-action movie. And if you don't like it, you can go on the Internet and complain!" Aang angrily says: "Oooh, I'm going to do SO much more to complain, I'm going to take CARE of BEING humiliated; and get REVENGE on ANY and ALL who HUMILIATED me, ONCE AND FOREVER!!!!" Jimmy says: "Aang! That's not the Avatar way to think!" Phoebe says: "Jimmy has a point!" Bunny says: "Revenge is NOT the answer, Aang! It's not going to CHANGE anything that's already happened, and it WON'T make you FEEL any better! Both Jimmy and I KNOW this from personal experience!" Aang gets a deliciously EVIL look on his face and says: "Oh, I think it will make me feel VERY MUCH better! VERY MUCH better INDEED!!!!"

 

Doug Funny suddenly pops up and says: "Hi, there; I'm Doug Funny, and this is my one line this season!" Prompting unusual laughter from the audience. Norbert says: "Talk about another country heard from! Hopefully, Aang's anger ISN'T going to amount to ANYTHING significant! We WERE going to interview Blue Arrow and Judy Funny!" Daggett says: "But they've disappeared to parts unknown! Even the Fairy Godparents can't seem to find them!" Norbert says: "Either that, or Timmy Turner is keeping them FAR too busy making his trillion or so UNNECCESSARY wishes!" Roger says: "That's a show that SHOULD'VE been cancelled...THIRTEEN YEARS AGO!!!!" Norbert says: "Roger, you know that's not a nice thing to say...even if SOME of us think that it's true!" Daggett says: "Our show deserved to stay on longer!" Norbert says: "Also, Lil Deville was scheduled to make an appearance, but thanks to a helpful loophole she found, she's now back IN the game!" Chuckie sarcastically asks: "Gee, I wonder HOW she figured THAT one out?" Norbert says: "We'll get to that later. For now, it's time to announce WHO'S going to be in the hot seat tonight!" Daggett says: "Rhonda Lloyd Wellington!" Norbert says: "Rancid Rabbit!"

 

Daggett says: "And our star interviewer for tonight; Ren Hoek!" Norbert says: "Daggett and I are going to get the inside story of what we have decided to call; Ren's Descent!" Daggett says: "Find out how Ren's devotion to his friend Stimpy, and listening to the advice of Sandy, turned out to be Ren's undoing as Ren descended into madness because of his inability to win Stimpy's love, and how Stimpy and Sandy played a role in being responsible for Ren's elimination!" From backstage, and on a TV hanging above Norbert and Daggett; Ren screams: "Stimpy and Sandy were responsible for WHAT?!!!" Norbert slaps Daggett with his Beaver tail and sarcastically says: "Nice discretion, brother!" Daggett says: "It's not my fault; I thought he already knew!" Ren cries and almost incoherently says: "Why? WHY?!!!" Helga says: "Annie Lennox, he isn't!" Roger says: "At least Stimpy can actually sing!" Patty says: "I remember! I'm supposed to SAY things!" Norbert says: "Except we don't have time right now. Seeing as how Daggett has made Ren...somewhat indisposed at the moment; we'll get back to him after he's calmed down a bit. For now, let us talk to our first interviewer; Rhonda!" And the audience cheers as clips from Rhonda's run on T.C.A. are shown.

 

Daggett says: "A lovely human woman who has no shortage of human money or influence!" Norbert says: "You said it, brother! Rhonda initially entered the competition to compete for her favorite charities! Daggett says: "She thought her devotion to charities would translate into an EASY path for her to get to the Final Three and WIN the whole game!" Norbert says: "But Rhonda found out the HARD way, that Sniz and Fondue weren't JUST going to LET Rhonda win!" Daggett says: "The number of challenges she was in wasn't a lot, but she soon found them to be MUCH harder than she had ever bargained for!" Norbert says: "And she was ill-prepared in both skill and physical abilities to face them!" Daggett says: "In the end, it was Rhonda's complete INABILITY to be of any USE to her team that ultimately did her in!" Norbert slaps his beaver tail into Daggett's face again, and scolds: "DAGGETT!!!!" Daggett protests: "Well, it WAS!!!!" Norbert says: "I think you should remember what our MOM told us when we were young; and mind your manners!" Daggett says: "I just wish Sniz and Fondue minded them more often!" Norbert says: "That's irrelevant to our job! We've got an interview to do! I've got to get paid!" Daggett shouts: "WAIT!!!! YOU'RE getting PAID?!!!" And Rhonda walks on-screen, to scattered applause and fan-fare.

 

Norbert says: "Weird. I thought there would be a bigger response to that. Welcome to the Performance Review, Rhonda. How are you getting along?" Rhonda folds her arms and says: "Hardly!" Daggett says: "You can hardly blame your former team-mates; I would've voted YOU off to had I been on your team!" Rhonda SLAPS Daggett in the face and Rhonda screams: "DAGGETT!!!!" Daggett protests: "Well, I would've! Why do I keep getting HIT in the face?!" Norbert answers: "Because you keep SAYING the WRONG things, my spooty beaver brother!" Rhonda nods her head in approval and says: "Thank you, Norbert! At least ONE of you knows how to PROPERLY treat a lady of MY high standing!" Daggett asks: "What is THAT supposed to mean?!" Phoebe shouts: "Ignore him, Rhonda! He's just trying to be an irritant!" Norbert says: "Clearly! So Rhonda, you and I have BOTH suffered an elimination from Total Cartoon Action. Admittedly, I didn't suffer TOO badly, seeing as how I was technically NEVER voted off!" Jimmy says: "Which reminds me; why are you suddenly in such good looks and health? You were pretty banged up at the end of the Retro Movie challenge!"

 

Norbert says: "Sniz wanted to take a healthy 'precaution.' He wanted to make sure that I didn't want to sue him, the way Angelica threatened him! So he decided to let the Fairy Godparents poof me back to good health AND good looks, so i would look good as the main host for this segment!" Rhonda says: "I'm just surprised by how little my fellow team-mates thought of me! It's getting so that money doesn't mean as much to anybody to certain kinds of people!" Norbert says: "I wasn't really in it for the money, I was in it for the one I loved!" And the audience "Awwws," at that statement. Daggett sarcastically says: "Oh, sure! Give HIM the positive feed-back!" Norbert motions and readies his Beaver tail, but Daggett looks up and says: "All right! I'm a shutting! I'm a shutting!" Rhonda says: "But I guess if I had to be eliminated, better it be done earlier than later. This way, I don't have to be suffering anymore unlike those OTHER contestants still in the game!" And the audience laughs at that statement! Norbert says: "Speaking of other contestants, we also have Rancid Rabbit and Ren Hoek to talk to, plus our comprehensive Performance Review Stat List, where we take a look at how the remaining contestants currently stack up against each other! But first, we must take a pause, for some important commercial announcements!" Daggett says: "You're seriously getting PAID?!!!" /

 

(Commercial Break) I'll write the rest of this later. / Enough said, for now!

[4EverGreen]

Here's the second part of my latest episode: "Performance Review: Ren's Descent." / After the commercials end, the screen opens back up on Norbert and Daggett. Norbert says: "Welcome back to Total Cartoon Action! Next up on this Performance Review, we're going to interview somebody a little GREEN!" Daggett says: "And we don't mean SICK, either!" Norbert says: "Even though he IS Rancid! (Audience laughs) Seriously though, we're talking about; Rancid Rabbit!" And the audience cheers as clips of Rancid Rabbit's performance on TCA is shown on the TV monitors in the studio. Daggett says: "I didn't know bunnies came in the color green!" Bunny says: "Usually, we don't! My guess is; there might be something in the water or the food that makes Rancid have his green fur." Norbert says: "You're probably right, my big, furry friend!" Daggett says: "Clearly, Rancid Rabbit did a good job of living up to his name!" Norbert says: "In terms of personality attitude, he had a LOT of it!" Daggett says: "And not the GOOD kind, either!" Daggett suddenly ZOOMS underneath his couch, and cowers, only to see Norbert not even get up off of HIS couch! Daggett says: "What? No tail slap?" Norbert says: "No, I actually AGREE with you on THIS one!"

 

And the audience gasps in SHOCK at this statement! Norbert says: "WHAT?! We're Beaver BROTHERS! It's not like we have to disagree ALL the time!" Daggett gets out from under his couch, and gets back on it. Daggett says: "Thank you, brother. That means a LOT to me!" Norbert says: "Rancid definitely seemed like the type who would be a nasty thorn that was stuck on the Network Noobs team." Daggett says: "Especially as far as Larry was concerned!" Norbert says: "As one of eight contestants that would NOT make an alliance with Larry on the Network Noobs, Larry made Rancid a marked target right from the start!" Daggett says: "But Rancid didn't really TAKE Larry as a serious threat!" Norbert says: "Perhaps he should have; and played a more strategical game." Daggett says: "But in a BIG surprise; Larry ended up NOT being responsible for Rancid's elimination!" Norbert says: "In what SEEMS like an ODD move; after the Cowboy Western Challenge was completed, Rancid was feeling happy and liberated, thanks to the actions of Rocko earlier in that episode!" Daggett says: "At the elimination ceremony, Rancid actually TORE off all his clothes and announced that right then and there; he had QUIT!"

 

Jimmy Neutron says: "He had a pretty good reason to quit; Larry was going to have him voted off anyways." Helga says: "At least by quitting, Rancid didn't GIVE Larry the feeling of satisfaction that he WOULD'VE gotten HAD the vote-off proceeded as planned!" Norbert says: "Very true, Helga. If you can't be happy in your OWN fur; how can you expect to be happy in life?" Patty Mayonnaise says: "But some of us don't HAVE fur!" Norbert says: "It's a figure of speech, Patty! And now, originally from the hit show of Catdog, we present Rancid Rabbit!" And the audience cheers as a now happy Rancid jumps onto the stage, STILL completely naked! Chuckie rudely says: "EXCUSE me, where are your CLOTHES?!" Rancid, in a non-rude matter, replies: "I got rid of them! After all, it's like Norbert just said; if you can't be happy in your OWN fur; how can you expect to be happy in life? I never realized that until just recently!" Norbert says: "In my personal opinion; trying to lie, hide, and conceal the truth from the world can ONLY lead to BAD things no matter WHO you are; while being honest, open, and TELLING the truth will ALWAYS lead to GOOD things in the end!" Daggett says: "It's not easy for me to admit this, but my brother actually HAS a point!" Norbert suddenly DASHES over to Daggett and LOVINGLY says: "Daggett, you don't know how LONG I've been waiting to HEAR that!"

 

And Norbert plants a BIG kiss on Daggett's lips! Daggett coughs, spits, and says: "That was NUTS!!!! What was THAT for?!"

 

Norbert says: "Aren't you HIP?! If Ren Hoek can plant a kiss on Stimpy's lips, a simple kiss between brothers can't be bad! Besides, I always thought you wanted something DIFFERENT from a BIG Beaver hug!" Daggett says: "Well, it was certainly a lot LESS painful than a hug! And kind of nice, I haven't been kissed like that since we became bachelors!" Norbert says: "And I haven't KISSED like that since I left Treeflower!" Daggett says: "But that was only three episodes ago!" Norbert says: "Exactly, and it pains me to think of all the trouble Treeflower must be facing by herself; especially with Angelica in the game. Personally, I'm on TEAM Treeflower all the way!" A phone system, with a portable phone set-up, suddenly rings, and Norbert says: "It looks like we have a caller! I'll get it!" Norbert picks up the phone and says: "Did you want to say something about my comment?!" A disguised voice, COMING from Aang, gruffly says: "I'm on TEAM Aang!" Norbert suspiciously asks: "And why is that?" Aang, still trying to talk incognito, says: "Aang is the STRONGEST, FASTEST, SMARTEST, BEST Nicktoon of ALL time who should have totally WON Total Cartoon Island..." and by this point, Aang DROPS his disguised voice ENTIRELY and shouts: "And I will pound ANYBODY WHO DOESN'T AGREE INTO--!!"

 

Norbert looks at Aang and shouts: "Behave yourself!" Aang turns off his cell phone and says: "Rats!" Helga looks at Phoebe and says: "Some AANG needs to get himself some Anger Management courses! Aang yells: "I HEARD that!" Norbert says: "Need I remind you that this is filming LIVE to television audiences and over the Internet to an estimated 4.4 BILLION people live? Don't do something NOW that you'll regret later! Now then, can we get back to YOU, Rancid?" Rancid happily says: "Sure! I had no idea just HOW good life could TRULY be, until I was freed! Rocko did a really good thing for me, even after I was being so rotten and mean to all the other contestants! I just wish there was a way I could repay Rocko for his kindness." Norbert says: "Well, maybe there IS. You're STILL technically the Mayor of Nearburg, right?" Rancid answers: "Right." Norbert asks: "And YOU have the power to help make LAWS and influence others, right?!" Rancid answers: "Absolutely!" Norbert says: "Than you should use your power influence for good! Think about it; if you feel so GREAT having YOUR freedom, think about how happy everyone else in NEARBURG will feel if THEY feel the same freedom YOU do!" Rancid nervously says: "I'm not sure if everyone will be as eager as I was to EMBRACE this freedom!" Daggett says: "They don't necessarily HAVE to be!"

 

Norbert says: "Daggett is right; again! You're on FIRE today, brother!" Daggett blushes and says: "Well, I do SOMETIMES have my moments!" Norbert says: "First, all you have to do is make Nearburg a clothing OPTIONAL city; if there are those who STILL want to wear clothes, they can; everyone else can choose to BE and LIVE as freely as you do!" Daggett says: "And if there are those who don't even LIKE the idea, they can ALWAYS move; they don't HAVE to live there!" Rancid says: "You know what? I'll do it! Just THINK of the amount of burglaries that will be stopped, as criminals won't be ABLE to hide weapons in their CLOTHES anymore!" And the audience give Rancid a big cheer for that! Rancid wipes a happy tear from his eye and says: "This is the happiest I've ever felt in my life!" Norbert says: "Happiest you have ever felt so FAR!" And Rancid gets up and joins Rhonda, sitting in the right side bleacher. Daggett says: "And finally, it's the moment you've all been waiting for!" Norbert says: "In terms of screen-time, he had a LOT of it!" Daggett says: "But that excess amount of screen-time just MIGHT have helped contribute to his OWN undoing!" Norbert says: "Ren Hoek went OFF the rails in the Jungle episode, and was epic PUNCHED by Stimpy as a result!" Roger says: "I always had a FEELING one day Ren Hoek would PUSH Stimpy to do THAT!"

 

Norbert says: "Ren Hoek did NOT cause Stimpy to PUNCH Ren, it was Stimpy's own inability to confront his own, true emotions to REN that caused him to do that!" From backstage, and on a TV monitor above Norbert and Daggett; Ren Hoek asks: "Stimpy WASN'T expressing his true emotions?!" Daggett answers: "No, Ren; he wasn't!" Ren asks: "Then how DOES Stimpy TRULY feel about me?" Norbert answers: "Why don't you come on-stage and we can talk about it?" Ren replies: "All right. Just give me a minute to freshen up, and I'll talk with you." Norbert says: "Sure. Gives us enough time to properly introduce you." And Ren leaves the make-up room shown on the TV monitor, and the TV monitor switches to saying the words: "Total Cartoon Action." Daggett says: "Originally from the show of Ren and Stimpy, comes one half of the rule-breaking duo, who helped break the mold for Nicktoons, and helped Nickelodeon become a hip, popular network!" Norbert says: "Although he has gone by OTHER alias names such as MARLON Hoek and Mad Dog Hoek, his REAL name is the one that many people recognize; Ren Hoek!" And the audience cheers as a bunch of clips of Ren Hoek's performance on T.C.A. are seen, and Ren Hoek himself comes on stage.

 

Daggett asks: "So, you really LOVED Stimpy, didn't you?" Ren sadly answers: "Yes, I really LOVED Stimpy." Norbert asks: "Then why didn't you just say it? If you would've just told the truth, you might not BE in this situation right now!" Ren replies: "Because I NEVER though my actions would LEAD to this; I thought Stimpy was HAPPY with the way things were. We were ALWAYS expected to have a CLOSED relationship! That is, I would always ACT like I THOUGHT Stimpy was stupid; when in reality, I ALWAYS knew Stimpy was the SMARTER of the two of us! It was STIMPY'S idea for us to audition for Nickelodeon in the first place!" Daggett says: "I think we have a CLIP of that audition ready to roll!" Ren's eyes open in horror and he says: "NO WAY!" Norbert says: "That's right! From 1990, here's a clip of Ren & Stimpy's ORIGINAL audition!" And a video-tape rolls on the TV monitor. Ren and Stimpy are dressed in BRIGHT, Glam, 1980's fashion, and are singing a rendition of Wham's! "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go." /

 

"Jitterbug, jitterbug. Jitterbug, jitterbug. You put the boom-boom into my heart, you set my soul on fire when your loving starts. You put the boom-boom into my brain, it goes a bang-bang-bang until my feet do the same. Something's bugging you, something ain't right, my best friend told me what you did last night. You left me sleeping in my bed. I was dreaming when I should have been with you instead. Wake me up before you go-go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo. Wake me up before you go-go, I don't want to miss you when you hit that high. Wake me up before you go-go, cause I'm not planning on going solo. Wake me up before you go-go, all right? Take me dancing tonight. I want to hit that HIGH, yeah, yeah! You take the gray skies out of my way, you make the sun shine brighter on a darker day. You turn a bright spark into a flame, my heart beats for you, I'm not insane. Come on baby, I'm your fool. It makes me crazy when you act so cool. Come on baby, let's not fight. We'll go dancing, everything will be all right. Wake me up before you go-go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo. Wake me up before you go-go, I don't want to miss you when you hit that high. Wake me up before you go-go, cause I'm not planning on going solo. Wake me up before you go-go, all right? Take me dancing tonight. I want to hit that HIGH, yeah, yeah, yeah! Jitterbug!

 

(Instrumental solo) Jitterbug! Come on baby, move in time, we'll go dancing tomorrow night. It's cold out there, but its warm in bed; they can dance, we'll stay home instead! Jitterbug! Wake me up before you go-go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo. Wake me up before you go-go, I don't want to miss you when you hit that high. Wake me up before you go-go, cause I'm not planning on going solo. Wake me up before you go-go, all right? Take me dancing tonight. Wake me up before you go-go, don't you DARE leave me hanging on like a yo-yo, yo-yo, yo! Take me dancing; a boom-boom, boom-boom! Wake me up before you go-go, cause I'm not planning on going solo! A boom-boom, boom-boom! Wake me up before you go-go, take me dancing tonight, all right!" (Song clip ends) And loud laughter from the audience is heard, as well as some loud clapping! Daggett says: "Well, THAT explained a LOT!" Helga says: "How could people NOT know that you WEREN'T interested in women by THAT audition ALONE?!" Ren says: "The 1980's just ended! EVERYONE was dressed like that! Besides, if I had ADMITTED that fact back in 1990, do you think I would've EVER been employed HERE?!" Norbert says: "Probably not, sadly. The entertainment industry wasn't kind to people of...YOUR status back then. I'm just saying that it's a LOT cooler, now."

 

Daggett says: "What I DON'T understand is, why go crazy for Stimpy?!" Ren answers: "He wasn't just a co-star; he was my friend, my buddy, and my best pal in the whole wide world. No matter HOW I was feeling; Stimpy would ALWAYS know what to say or do to cheer me up! Through thick and thin, Stimpy ALWAYS helped me out during our five season run on Nickelodeon. I just never thought that having a kid could CHANGE him so much! I always thought that if anything; if he ever HAD a kid, it would only STRENGTHEN the relationship between us; not push us apart! I have no idea what makes Lil Deville SO much of a more attractive prospect than me, but it really hurt me when Stimpy BROKE up with ME like that!" Norbert says: "Stimpy didn't WANT to break up with you; it hurt him SO much inside for him to even SAY that he was!" Ren asks: "But if Stimpy didn't WANT to break up, why did he say that we WERE?!" Daggett says: "Stimpy was under the impression that a good number of people, STILL far too many, are under; that is, if you're a man and you're in LOVE with a man, that automatically makes you an EVIL or immoral person!" Norbert says: "And Stimpy's reputation as a GOOD boy who would NEVER do anything EVIL or immoral, made him apprehensive to his own feelings! He wasn't afraid of YOUR love for him; he was afraid of HIS love for you!"

 

Ren happily asks: "You mean he REALLY LOVES me?!" Chuckie Finster sarcastically replies: "Of COURSE he LOVES you! Couldn't you TELL by HOW much he pretended to NOT love you?!" Ren Hoek happily says: "Then there IS hope, after all!" Norbert says: "There's ALWAYS hope to be had, as LONG as you believe there is!" Ren Hoek says: "I don't know if you're watching this, Stimpy, but if you are, I just want to let you know that I forgive you. It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself, because I certainly don't blame you." And the audience cheers and claps loudly at Ren's statement! Norbert says: "Thank you, Ren. And now, we go to our most IMPORTANT segment of the night!" Daggett says: "The Performance Review itself!" The Fairy God-parents poof the words: "Performance Review," inside the TV studio, and the words swirl around until it winds up on the TV monitor! Norbert says: "This is the part of the show where we take a look at the overall standings of the REMAINING competitors, based on their past performances in the LAST six episodes, and from those performances; we gauge just WHO currently is the most likely to WIN this Total Cartoon season!" /

 

Daggett says: "Angelica Pickles!" Norbert says: "Can we say Over the Top NEGATIVE much?!" Daggett says: "And she's only been IN two episodes so far!" Norbert says: "Don't expect HER to make the team merge THIS time!" Daggett says: "Craig Mammalton." Norbert says: "Not the BEST overall performance out there." Daggett says: "But certainly not BAD!" Norbert says: "If he can keep his HEAD in the game, and not LOSE sight of what he wants to achieve, he may end up as a surprise team merge competitor!" Daggett says: "Dog from Catdog." Norbert says: "Certainly not out of the game!" Daggett says: "But he definitely has a LOT of work to do if he wants to remain a TRUE competitor!" Norbert says: "Gerald from Hey Arnold!" Daggett says: "He definitely looks PRETTY solid at the moment!" Norbert says: "But Larry could pose a problem to him! Skipper and Gerald are the only contestants on the Network Noobs who are NOT a part of Larry's alliance!" Daggett says: "Haggis McHaggis!" Norbert says: "He definitely looks like top THREE potential right now!" Daggett says: "He's gotten a good amount of screen-time so far, without it being over-kill!" Norbert says: "I think its safe to say that we HAVE a true contender on our list!"

 

Daggett says: "Darwin the Chimp." Norbert says: "The LEAST stellar performance from the contestants currently in the game!" Daggett says: "Partially due in NO small part that Darwin only HAS four episodes to work with!" Norbert says: "And Darwin certainly hasn't gone out of his way to make himself noticed." Daggett says: "Maybe that's part of his strategy; go Under the Radar, stay relatively obscure and scarce, and end up in the final three as a surprise contender!" Norbert says: "That remains to be seen. Larry the Lobster!" And the audience makes LOUD booing noises at THAT comment. Daggett says: "And I thought ANGELICA had a bad track record!" Norbert says: "Not only is Larry LITERALLY red, his track record is almost ALL red, as well!" Daggett says: "He's certainly getting a lot of screen-time." Norbert says: "But lots of screen-time DOESN'T translate into a final three contender; usually!" Daggett says: "If Larry doesn't manage to get some POSITIVE portrayals in his standings or at the very least; have MORE mixed tone episodes, he could find his prospects of winning diminished very soon." Norbert says: "Lil Deville!" Daggett says: "Completely NUTS!" Norbert says: "But STILL in the game!" Daggett asks: "Has ANYBODY who has been eliminated from a game show AND returned; ever actually MANAGED to WIN the game?"

 

Norbert answers: "Well, I think that if ANYONE could do, Lil Deville probably could; she's diverse enough and talented enough to hold her own!" Daggett says: "Marlene the Otter!" Norbert says: "She TRIED to steal MY heart; figuratively!" Daggett says: "But she MAY end up STEALING the grand prize! Out of ALL the contestants; Marlene currently has the BEST standing AND chance of winning the entire game show!" Norbert says: "Well, that's the way it looks right NOW; but this SHOW is all about ACTION, and it wouldn't BE about Action if the show didn't throw us a curve ball every now and then." Daggett says: "She's team merge material, right?" Norbert says: "DEFINITELY pencil her down as team merge material!" Daggett says: "Otto Rocket." Norbert says: "Hard to say what MY thought about him are. On the one hand, he's already BEEN to the Final Three!" Daggett says: "On the other hand, he has a relatively high standing in the game." Norbert says: "Just the same, don't put any bets on him making or NOT making the team merge just yet!" Daggett says: "Patrick Star!" Norbert says: "Another hard case to figure out." Daggett says: "On the one hand, he LIED to Pearl and sabotaged the Boom Vets in order to get Ren and Stimpy split up!" Norbert says: "But on the other hand, Patrick wouldn't have DONE that if General Barracuda didn't THREATEN Pearl in the first place!"

 

Daggett says: "Why is General Barracuda SO interested in Pearl anyways?!" Norbert says: "Good question! For one thing, she has a high positive standing." Daggett says: "But she's not a Final Four contender!" Norbert says: "At the moment she isn't, but her status is good right now, and SHOULD keep her safe until the team merge!" Daggett says: "Reggie Rocket!" Norbert says: "A more CONSISTENT contestant would be HARD to find!" Daggett says: "She has the SAME tone in ALMOST every single episode so far!" Norbert says: "It's a good strategy to BE good, but its NOT a good strategy to be consistent!" Daggett says: "I think Reggie needs a way to shake up her image if she wants to stay in the game!" Norbert says: "Rocko Wallaby! I still remember when he was only a LITTLE bigger than me!" Daggett says: "And unlike Reggie, he has some variation to his overall performance record, and is currently a final three contender!" Norbert says: "Chances definitely look PROMISING for Rocko right now; let's just hope they STAY promising!" Daggett says: "Sandy Cheeks!" Helga says: "I thought she was ALREADY gone!" Norbert says: "Not YET, she's not!" Chuckie says: "Well, she's already made a DEAL with Larry to take a fall on Stimpy's behalf. She's out of the game anyways!" Daggett says: "Well, we don't know WHEN Larry is going to cash IN Sandy's favor!"

 

Norbert says: "We'll just have to wait and see." Daggett says: "Skipper the Penguin!" Norbert says: "Definitely a mixed bag!" Daggett says: "But a high-ranking mixed bag! I have no idea WHERE he will end up!" Norbert says: "Spongebob!" And the audience cheers and claps loudly. Daggett says: "Definitely high on the positive!" Norbert says: "He's not CURRENTLY one of the Final Four contenders, but that could easily change in the NEXT six episodes!" Daggett says: "Stimpy and Stinky!" Norbert says:  "I definitely NEVER thought I'd see Stimpy HAVE a ranking like this!" Daggett says: "High visibility, and the majority of it is MIXED!" Norbert says: "He still ranks as a Final Four contender, though. If he can just have a good set of low visibility episodes and stay out of the spot-light for awhile, he can recover from his high visibility exploits!" Daggett says: "Susie Carmichael!" Chuckie says: "Go, Susie!" Bunny looks at him weirdly and says: "Seriously?" Chuckie says: "Well, I don't want ANGELICA to win! And who'd pick Lil Deville to be a winner anyways?! Susie has a decent shot, right now!" Norbert says: "I couldn't say it any better, so I won't try to! And last but CERTAINLY not least; is my girlfriend and soul-mate for life, Treeflower!" Daggett says: "For a soul-mate, I'd expect her stats to be more promising than what they are right now!"

 

Norbert says: "Well, don't forget; Marlene AND Angelica have been putting pressure on Treeflower! When you have TWO Alpha types competing against you, its often HARD to think in the heat of the moment! But needless to say, as long as Angelica and Marlene are in the game, Treeflower will probably be there as well!" Daggett says: "Our standings are TOTALLY arbitrary, and have absolutely NO standing on who IS going to win!" Norbert says: "But at the moment, it looks like Marlene is in First Place, Haggis is in Second Place, Rocko is in Third Place, and Stimpy is in Fourth Place! That's all the time we have!" Daggett adds: "Until next time!" Norbert says: "I'm Norbert!" Daggett says: "I'm Daggett!" Both Beavers simultaneously say: "And this has been Performance Review!" And Confetti blows out of air cannons as the over-head lights dim, and the audience clapping fade away. Daggett turns towards Norbert and asks: "Can I also get paid for my role of hosting this Performance Review thing?" Norbert answers: "Give us a few episodes and we'll TALK about it!" / Episode Notes: Featured Song in this episode; "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," originally performed by Wham! It's learned in this episode that Aang is STILL bitter about the results of his live-action movie, and he WANTS to get revenge! Norbert kisses Daggett (playfully) in this episode! /

 

That's it for "Total Cartoon Action" for now! See you next time! 

[4EverGreen]

It's time for a brand new episode of "Total Cartoon Action," with a brand new plot created by me! / "Diva Las Vegas!" / Sniz appears in the TV monitor room and says: "Last time on Total Cartoon Action, we went full on CRAZY for the Western movies, in MORE ways then one! Ren became COMPLETELY unhinged, when who of ALL contestants should return, except for Stimpy's best gal pal, Lil Deville?! Lil exploited a loophole, thanks to a certain General Barracuda, and got herself back in the game! This messed up with Ren's thinking, and Ren totally BLEW any chance he HAD of winning, by trying to WIN over Stimpy! Not your best moments, Ren. Larry forced Patrick to reveal to Pearl, just what exactly Patrick had been told to HIDE from her! Turns out, Larry might not BE the Big Bad everyone thought he WAS! It turns out, Larry was actually ON their side; and even helped PROTECT them when General Barracuda was threatening to MAIM them! Larry managed to outsmart General Barracuda, effectively ENDING any hopes that General Barracuda had of USING Patrick as a tool for winning half of the prize money. Pretty smart move, Larry! There were BIG winners, such as Rocko and Reggie, and BIG losers, namely the Network Noobs!

 

Ren Hoek BROKE the most important rule of Western Movies; Cowboys and Cattles CAN'T mate! Ren planted a kiss on Stimpy, and sealed his OWN fate, as Ren got himself removed from the game! And Rancid shocked EVERYONE, by revealing his HATRED for having to wear clothes, as he tore HIS off, and announced his official quitting of the game! Didn't see THAT move coming! We now have 20 contestants left, and with the exception of Doug, every Nicktoon show with a representative in this season, still has at least one representative remaining! But today, another contestant will have to leave when everything is said and done! Who will be crowned the champions, and who will be labeled as losers?! Place your bets, because we're going to set your soul on FIRE tonight! Metaphorically speaking, of course, as we're going to a place where anything and everything CAN and DOES often happen; Las Vegas, Nevada! It's an ALL You Can Eat Buffet of Excitement and Fun on today's episode of Total Cartoon Action!" / The show opens up in the Boom Vets trailer, everyone is still sound asleep, except for Sandy, who's just staring up at the ceiling. Stimpy wakes up and says: "You can't sleep either, can you?" Sandy sighs and says: "No. I just can't stop thinking about that deal I made with Larry." Stimpy says: "I never ASKED you to make that deal on my behalf!"

 

Sandy says: "You didn't have to! I felt just as responsible for Ren's elimination as YOU did! I didn't want YOU to suffer because of some mistakes I made! I've never admitted this until now, but you truly ARE a better contestant than me; that's why you won last season and I didn't. If anyone has a better chance of making it farther in this game, its you!" Stinky comes out of Stimpy's ear and asks: "Do you really mean it?" Sandy answers: "Sure! Ask anybody; except for maybe Otto or Angelica. They'll admit that Stimpy has a lot of hidden potential when it counts!" Stimpy says: "But that potential won't do me any good if our team eliminates me! Face it, with all the screen-time I've had, I'm a gigantic TARGET right now!" Sandy says: "That's why it's so important for you to lay low for a while! If you can just make yourself relatively obscure, the others will forget about what's happened, and you can go back to being happy." Stimpy says: "That's fine with me, but what about you?" Sandy answers: "Don't worry about me. I've gotten out of WORSE scrapes than this!...Can't think of any right now, though. Anyways, I can take care of myself, no matter WHAT Larry has in store for me! I'm NOT going to make it EASY for him to beat me!"

 

(Confessional) Stimpy says: "Thanks to Sandy, it looks like I'm going to get off the hook! Although, I'm probably going to have to watch the amount of times I use the Confessional for a while. I can't afford to use it as I HAVE been using it recently; so if anyone is surprised by a LACK of times I use the Confessional for a while, that's probably the reason why." Stinky says: "It's going to be HARD not to express yourself." Stimpy says: "But Sandy was right; it was a LOT harder to bottle up my emotions! No matter what, I NEED to be emotional, and deal with my feelings in the right way! The alternative is to face elimination from the game!" Stinky says: "And we certainly don't want to have THAT happen now, do we?" / Sandy says: "I always knew Larry had plans for me, I just never anticipated they would be THAT clever! It takes a LOT of work to out-manuever me, but Larry is NOT going to out-muscle me! Even if Larry DOES take me, I plan to go down fighting; and do as much damage to the Network Noobs as possible! If Larry WANTS a victory; it's GOING to cost him!" (End Confessional) The contestants are ALL still inside their trailers when LOUD circus music begins playing over the loud-speakers! Susie Carmichael says: "Cue the faithful irritant; our GLORIOUS host Sniz!" Otto Rocket rolls his eyes and sarcastically asks: "I WONDER what fun Sniz has for US today?!"

 

Over the loud-speakers, Sniz says: "I'm glad you asked, Otto! Step outside, and let yourself be amazed, by a WONDERFUL city of lights, sound, and FUN!" (Confessional) Otto sarcastically says: "FUN?!!! Whenever Sniz says something is going to be 'Fun,' it almost ALWAYS ends up being NOT fun! It ends up being work!" / Susie says: "I don't care WHAT Sniz has planned for US today! As long as it lets me WHOOP Angelica in a challenge, that's ALL I care about!" (End Confessional) The Boom Vets and the Network Noobs exit their trailers, only to find that they are NOT in Florida anymore; they're in LAS VEGAS, Nevada!!!! Pearl says: "Oh my gosh! We're in Las Vegas! THE Las Vegas! Where you can go around the world in 90 seconds; give or take depending on how traffic is on any given day?!" Sniz drives up in his Aston Martin and says: "That's right! You're in THE Las Vegas! Today, we're going to be doing the Las Vegas MOVIE challenge!" Craig says: "That's a pretty specific niche there, isn't it?" Sniz says: "Give us SOME credit! We DO want to have SOME originality around here, don't we?!" Marlene says: "And who says this ISN'T original?!" Sniz says: "Don't ask that! You wouldn't BELIEVE the number of people who would state otherwise!" Fondue pops up out of the car and says: "And tell them what the plan is for today!"

 

Sniz salutes and says: "You got it, bro! This is a THREE part challenge we're doing today! Even though most of you aren't actually OLD enough to gamble for real, except for Haggis for OBVIOUS reasons; we're going to do a PLAY version of the slots! Contestants will be testing their luck, and see whether it is good or bad! If your luck is good, you'll avoid having to take place in the second part of the challenge. But if your luck is BAD, you'll have to EAT your way through the second part of the challenge! And there's no All You Can Eat Buffet like a VEGAS All You Can Eat Buffet! Whoever wins the second part of the challenge will have a decided advantage in the final part of the challenge; as they will get an extra chance to WIN the challenge, inside a GIANT Pinball game!" Rocko asks: "A GIANT Pinball game?! Las Vegas DOES have everything, doesn't it?!" Sniz says: "Both teams will be competing to reach 40 million points. Whoever reaches the 40 million first, or whoever gets the highest before you ALL run out of chances, will win today's challenge, and be safe from elimination! Whoever loses, will end up voting someone of their team off! It's that simple!" (Confessional)

 

Rocko says: "I have a good feeling about this! Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure if my team WILL win; but I feel confidant in my own luck! I mean, Filburt DID tell me that a day in Las Vegas, can be a VERY dangerous day; but I feel prepared to face this challenge! Maybe my BIGNESS is affecting me. I'm certainly feeling more confidant than I used to." / Larry says: "This challenge is PERFECT! It's time for Sandy to REPAY her favor to me! That is, if she doesn't WANT Stimpy to be eliminated!" (End Confessional) Larry says: "Exscuse me, Sniz; but SANDY needs to have a TALK with me before we start this challenge; and its something PERSONAL that can't be discussed with ANYONE else; RIGHT?!" And Larry WINKS at Sandy, in order to make sure she GETS the message! Sandy nervously winks back and says: "RIGHT! I need to have a 'personal' talk with LARRY, and nobody else!" And this causes Spongebob to give them BOTH a suspicious look! (Confessional)

 

Spongebob says: "I see what Larry's strategy is NOW; divide and conquer! An old strategy, but one that can work VERY well under the right circumstances! Larry clearly isn't willing to take chances like Angelica does; he's planned HIS game out pretty well, all things considering! Larry looks for the STRONGEST contestants on OUR team, than he finds a way to SEPARATE them FROM the team! By taking the STRONGEST out first; Larry is HOPING to have an easy path to the Final Three! I may not be strong, but I AM resourceful! I'm not just going to LET him get to the Final Three without a fight! If Larry can play a strategic game, than so can I!" / Sandy sighs: "This is the moment I've been DREADING! Heaven KNOWS what Larry is going to ASK me to do in order to re-pay him, and unless I want a big plate of BAD karma dished up to me; I'm PROBABLY going to have to DO whatever Larry wants! I know it's the RIGHT thing to do; that certainly doesn't make it the EASIEST thing to do! But I CARE about Stimpy; and if you're doing it for a friend for the RIGHT reasons, than it's ALWAYS the right thing to do!" (End Confessional) Sandy and Larry enter a private lounge in a nearby hotel. They sit down on a comfy couch, and Larry says: "Sandy; it's time to discuss our plan of action." Sandy suspiciously asks: "And what do you WANT me to do to repay your favor?"

 

Larry clasps his claws together, making Sandy nervous with anticipation. After pretending to contemplate the question in his mind, Larry breaks the silence and says: "Here's how it's going to be. You're going to compete in the challenge; and you're GOING to LOSE, BADLY!!!!" Sandy rolls her eyes and says: "Good luck with THAT! In case you've forgotten, I happen to be very GOOD, at the majority of the challenges I do!" Larry shakes his head and says: "You don't GET it, do you? I'm telling you that the only way to SAVE Stimpy and Spongebob, is for you to THROW the challenge we're about to enter! You NEED to feel the pain of HUMILIATION, the way that I felt it when YOU humiliated ME by going out with SPONGEBOB!" Sandy asks: "And how am I supposed to feel this PAIN of humiliation?! It's not like you OR Spongebob is going to find ANOTHER girl like me!" Larry says: "Fortunately for you, Spongebob has no bearing on my plans for this game. After all, I DON'T have to worry about HIM if YOU'RE not in the game! For me, this is NOT about revenge; it's about getting JUSTICE where justice is DESERVED!" Sandy says: "You're CRAZY to think that Spongebob ISN'T a THREAT! And two wrongs do NOT make a right, no matter HOW 'wronged' you think that you've been treated! Revenge isn't the answer Larry; and it's NOT going to make you FEEL any better!"

 

Larry rolls his eyes and says: "Oh, DO shut up and let ME be the judge of THAT! Besides, I'll keep MY word to keep Spongebob and Stimpy safe, as LONG as you keep YOUR word to do what I'm ASKING; if you ever truly DID care for me!" (Confessional) Sandy says: "Of COURSE! Larry WOULD have to play the OLD Guilt Trip Card! I was WRONG to him, and now I've got to make it up to him by throwing the challenge! So much for doing damage to the Network Noobs on my way out!" / Larry says: "My game plan is MUCH smarter and FAR superior to Angelica's! While Angelica was only interested in IMMEDIATE damage and getting INSTANT gratification; I prefer to SAVOR my victories, and draw out the game-plan as long as it's interesting! You see, Sandy thinks that she STILL has a chance to maneuver herself OUT of a check-mate; when what she DOESN'T realize, is that I already BEAT her about five moves ago! It's only a matter of TIME before SHE figures it out; but until then, she can HAVE her false glimmer of hope! It will only make it THAT much more satisfying to get EVEN with her! Spongebob doesn't stand a CHANCE without HER to help him! Divide and conquer; the strategy of WINNERS!" (End Confessional) Sandy and Larry return to join the rest of the contestants, and Spongebob asks: "Sandy, what did you and Larry talk about?"

 

Sandy starts to answer: "Well we--." But Larry makes a buzzing sound and says: "EHHH!!!!" And makes a SLASHING motion across his throat!" Sandy realizes Larry's intention and says: "I'm sorry. That's classified information." Which causes Spongebob to give Larry another suspicious look. (Confessional) Spongebob says: "This is a LOW stunt, Larry! I expected BETTER of you! You think that you can just get Sandy to do whatever YOU want, and make HER look bad in the process?! I hate to burst YOUR bubbles OR any of mine, but you're NOT going to get ME to abandon Sandy Cheeks! I'm NOT going to LEAVE her; and you're a bigger fool than you look if you think I'll let you TRY!" / Larry says: "So Spongebob insists on being stubborn; let him be, then! It's not going to CHANGE the fact that Sandy WILL have to lose today's challenge in order to keep Spongebob and Stimpy safe! Besides, it's MUCH more entertaining when they TRY to resist, especially when they MUST know that they have absolutely no CHANCE of winning against me! My revenge AND my victory are in the palm of my claws!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "If we're done with the private discussions, its time for us to head off to the game room! Let's have some FUN!!!!"

 

Angelica says: "Anything will be a whole LOT more fun than the LAST challenge! Some nerve YOU guys had; leaving ME up to hang on a weather vane for two whole days! If I wasn't already ON the show; I'd sue you for GROSS mis-conduct!" Sniz says: "But you ARE on the show; and you're currently in NO position to even THREATEN to sue us!" (Confessional) Angelica says: "Sniz would just LOVE to have ME written off as a threat; but I'm not going to LET him write me off as a threat! I'll show Susie and EVERYONE else that Angelica has a game to play in THIS season! I'm going to be tougher than ever!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "As they say at the Drive-In, let's all go to the Lobby!...Of the Game Room, that is!" (Commercial Break) / I'll post the rest of this episode later! / Enough said, for now!

[4EverGreen]

It's time for the second part of my latest "Total Cartoon Action" episode, called "Diva Las Vegas!" / After the commercials end, the contestants are now seen standing around a giant slot machine! Marlene says: "Cool prop!" Sniz says: "It's not a prop! The BIGGEST, and I mean, PHYSICALLY biggest contestants come from all around the world, just to play on this machine!" Skipper asks: "Why? What's so cool about this particular machine?" Sniz says: "I'm glad you asked that, because with THIS machine, it is both possible to win some BIG prizes, or LOSE something of value! It all depends on the luck of your spin! Will you be safe from the second part of the challenge, or will you end up having to stomach everything a Vegas All You Can Eat Buffet can throw at you?! Test your luck, and find out! We'll be doing this by alphabetical order, so Angelica; you are up first!" Angelica heads up and says: "Finally realized how NECCESSARY I am to the show?" Susie rolls her eyes, scoffs and says: "PLEASE! You're about as NECCESSARY as a Spanish Inquistion!" Otto says: "High five, Susie! (They both high five) Nobody EVER expects a Spanish Inquisition!" Angelica says: "And don't think I've forgotten about you either! As far as I'M concerned, our deal still stands!"

 

Otto rolls his eyes and says: "Get serious! The only reason you still WANT to honor the deal I made with you is because Susie now WANTS me! If Susie didn't WANT me, you wouldn't even WANT anything to do with me!" Angelica snarls, surprised at how FAST Otto was able to deduct the TRUTH, but tries to play it off by saying: "Shows how much YOU know!" Otto says: "Enough to outlast YOU last season!" Angelica says: "You BETTER hope that I don't get a lucky spin!" And Angelica, using her WHOLE body to pull down the big slot lever, begins the slots spinning! The slots make a unique spinning noise while it goes, and then it finally slows, and STOPS on Three of the SAME icons, which feature a hair wig with a red X over it! Sniz says: "Tough break, Angelica! YOU lose your hair wig!" And Sniz snaps his fingers, causing Cosmo and Wanda to appear, and they POOF Angelica's wig away, leaving Angelica's messed up hair-do visible to the world! Angelica screams: "What did you do to my wig?!" Sniz says: "It's gone now. Wherever it HAS gone to, is ANYONE'S guess!" / But somewhere in a hotel that the eliminated contestants are staying at, Angelica's wig SUDDENLY appears on REN Hoek and he says: "All RIGHT! I'm a rock star!" / Sniz says: "Next up, Craig Mammalton!" Craig Mammalton steps up and says: "Here's where all my time at Gym Spinning Courses pay off!"

 

And Sniz pulls down the lever. The slots spin around, and STOP on three icons, which are all HEART shapes! The slots go off with a triumphant sound and Sniz says: "Congratulations, Craig! You landed the Triple Lucky Lover! As a reward, tonight, you get to go on a date with YOUR special someone!" Craig's eyes open up with glee and he says: "You mean; I get to see my GIRLFRIEND?!" Larry's eyes open up and he says: "You HAVE a girlfriend?!" Sniz answers: "That's RIGHT! From Faraway Ville, it's Girly Teengirl!" And a female sponge who looks a LOT like Spongebob dressed in drag steps out, prompting everyone to STARE at her, than at Spongebob, than at Girly Teengirl again! Pearl does a double take and says: "WAIT! That WOMAN isn't YOU, Spongebob?!" Spongebob asks: "Why would I EVER dress like THAT?! It certainly wouldn't impress Sandy Cheeks!" Girly Teengirl nervously waves and says: "Hi! I'm Girly Teengirl, I live in Faraway Ville, and I just LOVE going to slumber parties!" Sniz rolls his eyes and says: "That's nice dear, but you'll have to wait in the LOUNGE until everyone is finished with this challenge before you and Larry can go out tonight!" Craig looks at Girly lovingly and says: "Have patience, my dear! I'll make it worth the wait!" Girly looks lovingly back at Craig and says: "I'm looking forward to it already!" (Confessional)

 

Larry is looking puzzled, as if he's still in disbelief, and says: "No way! Craig has himself a REAL girlfriend?!" / Craig says: "Funny story about how I met Girly. When I was younger, I used to have to wear braces in order to correct an underbite. When I was finally allowed to go to the dentist in order to have them taken off, who should be next to me having the same exact thing done, except for Girly Teengirl?! I looked at her lovingly, smiling at her beauty, but she thought I was suppressing the pain from all the laughing gas I was under while my braces were removed. But after our procedure, I sat down, and I asked her about herself. She's a very interesting person, and it's very rare in this day in age to find someone smart, sweet, and with a unique personality! Did you know she and I have actually managed to travel through TWELVE United States, and not just in the ocean either! Girly is a rare sub-species of Sponge that doesn't dry out quickly on land, she can retain moisture just like a human being can! Girly is actually the one who convinced me to audition for this show in the first place! She had also tried to get on, but she didn't get very far against the other potential contestants going up against her! That's why I want to try to win this game. Like Huey Lewis once said; I'm doing it all for my baby!" / Spongebob says: "I just find it hard to believe that Pearl once mistook Girly for me!"

 

(End Confessional) Sniz says: "Next up, Darwin!" Darwin walks up and says: "Heaven knows what I'M going to get!" Darwin pulls down the lever, crosses his fingers nervously; only to have three cherry icons come up. Sniz says: "Pretty average luck, Darwin. That wins you a bushel of cherries!" Sniz snaps his fingers, causing Cosmo and Wanda to poof up Darwin a full bushel of cherries! Sniz says: "Feel free to share them if you want!" (Confessional) Darwin is eating some of the cherries and says: "This isn't what I envisioned getting! Still, could've been a WHOLE lot worse; I might have ended up as being the contestant FORCED to do the All You Can Eat Buffet." (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Next up, Dog!" Dog comes up and says: "Come on, slot machine! Dog needs himself some Beefy Beef Burgers!" Dog pulls down on the lever, the slots spin around, and they actually DO stop on THREE Beefy Beef Burger icons! Sniz says: "You ARE a lucky dog! You've just won yourself a YEAR'S supply of Beefy Beef Burgers the choice food for canines in Nearburg and Farburg! Actual supply of Beef Burger's is NOT guaranteed to last for a year, and customer satisfaction is not neccessarily guaranteed. It is on most occasions, but not neccessarily!" Dog says: "I have my meals planned for a WHOLE year!" (Confessional)

 

Dog is eating some of his Beefy Beef Burgers and says: "Sweet, wonderful, GLORIOUS Beefy Beef Burgers, where have you BEEN all my life?! And Cat actually thought that I couldn't get food on my own! I'm sure showing HIM!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Next up, Gerald!" Gerald walks up with his fingers crossed and says: "Jacuzzi with Beyonce Knowles, Jacuzzi WITH Beyonce Knowles!" Gerald pulls the lever, causing the slots to spin, and to Gerald's GREAT delight, the slots STOP on three icons of Beyonce Knowles in a jacuzzi! Sniz says: "Jackpot winner! Gerald, I hope you like Pina Colada's and maybe getting caught in the rain, because you're spending an evening with Beyonce Knowles!" And Beyonce Knowles steps out, looking DROP dead gorgeous, as the background music plays Beyonce Knowles "Single Ladies." Beyonce Knowles steps up to Gerald LOVINGLY and says: "Are you the lucky MAN who gets to spend a night with me?" Gerald sighs and ecstatically says: "YESSSS!!!!"...Before fainting on the ground from the excitement! (Confessional)

 

Gerald is sitting down, with his head slightly bandaged and says: "Score TEN for the SMOOTH guy! Beyonce Knowles isn't just a great singer/dancer/actress, she also knows how to take care of a guy, in MORE ways than one! Even if I don't win the game show, I can STILL walk away feeling LIKE a winner!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Haggis Machaggis, you're up next!" Haggis rubs his hands together and says: "I've got a GOOD feeling about THIS one!" Haggis pulls down the lever, and the slots stop on three icons, that look like a dinner plate with an enclosed circular lid above the plate. Sniz says: "Wow! I didn't actually think someone would win THIS prize! Haggis, you just won a free dinner of your favorite meal! Haggis!" Haggis motions his right arm victoriously and says: "Yes!" And Treeflower groans and says: "Oh, NO!!!!" Sniz says: "He's not getting it right NOW, it's going to take a while for us to track down and obtain the haggis. Can you wait until then?" Haggis says: "Good haggis is ALWAYS worth the wait!" (Confessional) Marlene says: "Truth be told, I actually SYMPATHIZE with Treeflower on the whole haggis matter! Haggis MAY call that food, but I call it a smelly smell that smells...smelly. But if it makes Haggis happy, who am I to judge?" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Next up, Larry!" Larry walks up and says: "It's time to show you how a PRO does this thing!"

 

Sniz looks at Larry and asks: "Do you KNOW of any pros who PLAY slot machines?!" Larry rolls his eyes and says: "I'm talking about ME, of course! I actually HOPE that I get to DO the second part of the challenge, my stomach can handle ANYTHING!" Sniz backs up and says: "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!" Larry looks at Sandy and Spongebob and says: "I usually DO!" And Larry makes a mighty pull on the lever, and what should Larry land except for three icons of double bars in a row?! An alarm on the slots goes off and Sniz says: "Well, looks like you WILL get to compete! That makes YOU the contestant who has to eat for the Network Noobs! Let us just hope your eyes are BIGGER than your stomach!" Larry walks past Sandy and Spongebob says: "I'm looking forward to me WINNING the challenge!" Spongebob looks at Larry defiantly and says: "You haven't won ANYTHING yet!" Larry chuckles deviously and says: "Haven't I?" (Confessional) Larry says: "If there's one thing I know how to do, it is to PLAY to Sniz and Fondue's sense of drama and exciting showdowns! By 'floating' the idea, that an epic struggle between Larry and Sandy would make for an EXCELLENT ratings win, it would CONVINCE them to set up Sandy's turn to land on the EXACT same icons as I did! Sandy WILL have to fight against me, she just doesn't KNOW it yet!" (End Confessional)

 

Sniz says: "The rest of the Network Noobs, feel free to make your spins! Larry's status means the rest of you are safe, but I want to see what you will win anyways!" / A montage of the remaining Network Noobs playing the giant slot machine are seen. Patrick lands on three yellow book icons, and wins a book called: "Having Fun and Making Friends for NON-Dummies!" Patrick is VERY happy! Pearl lands on three heart icons like Craig did, and wins a date with Patrick Star, which makes Pearl VERY happy! Skipper lands on THREE 007 icons, and wins a Blu-Ray set of James Bond films which include: "Dr. No, A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights, License to Kill, Die Another Day," and "Quantum of Solace," which makes Skipper very happy! / Sniz says: "Boom Vets, your luck remains to be tested! Which one of YOU will need to compete against Larry?! Lil Deville, come on up!" Lil Deville pulls on the lever and says: "Oh, yeah! Lil Deville is going to win some MONEY!!!!" And the slots spin crazy, just like ANYTHING revolving around Lil is BOUND to do, but they STOP on three lemon icons! Sniz says: "No money for you, but you DO win a month's supply of lemon-flavored candy, to savor and enjoy!" Sniz snaps his fingers, causing Cosmo and Wanda to poof a barrel that says: "Magical Lemon-flavored candy barrel, guaranteed to have candy for a 31 day period or your next wish is free!"

 

Lil gets excited and says: "A Magical barrel filled with a non-stop supply of Lemon-flavored candy for an ENTIRE 31 day period?! Even Better!" And Lil JUMPS into the barrel and starts to eat a BUNCH of the candy! (Confessional) Lil is COVERED in lemon candy stains as she says: "This is the LIFE! Candy, my boyfriend, in a game show where I can win $1.5 million dollars?! Who says that dreams CAN'T come true?!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Marlene, you're up next!" Marlene walks up and says: "I hope I get something JUST as good!" Marlene pulls the lever, and the slots stop on three Grape icons, with the grapes in a bunch! Sniz says: "Lucky you! Marlene, you get to have the V.I.P. treatment for the ENTIRE night! You get to relax in a hot spa, drink Paris Purple Flurp to your heart's content, and have grapes served to you by Skipper! What more could a girl ask for?!" Marlene jumps up in triumph and says: "It's official! I AM the luckiest woman of ALL time!" (Confessional) Marlene ponders and says: "Skipper; how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. There's a luxurious spa, Paris Purple Flurp, grapes, and you! I don't know about OTHER sea otters, but YOU'RE my dream come true, Skipper!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Otto Rocket, you're up next!" Otto says: "Let's hope I land on something that's actually USEFUL!"

 

Otto pulls down the lever, and the slots stop on three skateboard icons! Sniz says: "Congratulations Otto! You win Tony Hawk...Pro Skater 3 and 4, for the Game Boy Advance on a Nintendo DS!" (Confessional) Otto says: "You call THAT a prize?! I could practically beat BOTH of those games in my sleep...when I was FOUR!!!! But maybe this is a special edition; in any case, it sure beats what Angelica 'WON!!!!'" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Reggie, it's now your turn!" Reggie says: "I'm going to get something good!" Reggie pulls down the lever, and winds up landing on three heart icons, just like Craig and Pearl did! Reggie says: "Wow! Three Triple Lucky Lovers in one night! You've got a date with Rocko!" Reggie cheers and says: "Awesome!" Causing Otto to fume in anger! (Confessional) Otto sarcastically says: "Oh sure! Give REGGIE the AWESOME prize of getting to go out with Rocko! She already DOES that...all the TIME!!!! If I had a dollar for every time Reggie made out with Rocko, I'd already HAVE $1.5 million American dollars!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Rocko, since Reggie has won a date with you as a prize tonight, you don't have to spin the slots to try your luck. Think of it as a mercy reprieve."

 

Rocko says: "Thanks mate, I appreciate that!" (Confessional) Rocko says: "Luck can be fickle, and it can run out on you at any time! If irony HAD been allowed to work, I might have lost all my fur the way Angelica lost her wig! I don't want to lose the fur I have; I'm very fond of my fur!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Sandy, it's now YOUR turn!" And dramatic music suddenly plays in the background, as Larry watches intensely. Sandy sighs and says: "All right! Time to get this over with!" Sandy pulls down on the lever hard, but to HER horror, three double bar icons line the slots, and the alarm on the slots go off! Sniz says: "Oooh, tough BLOW Sandy, you have to compete against Larry in the All You Can Eat Buffet!" And Larry smiles triumphantly!

 

(Confessional) Larry says: "By now, Sandy is realizing that she's running out of movement options, and the time of her defeat is FAR closer to her doorstep than she EVER thought possible! General Barracuda is a FOOL when it comes to strategizing, while I am a genius!" / Sandy says: "I'm running out of movement options, and I'm a GENIUS! Defeat is FAR closer to my doorstep than I have EVER thought possible! I could REALLY use some saving throws right about now!" / Spongebob says: "Well Larry, you might be able to avoid a challenge against me for now, but we WILL have to compete against each other again! DON'T take me too lightly!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "The rest of you Boom Vets can spin for fun! Let us see the prizes YOU win!" /

 

The remaining Boom Vets spinning the slots, can be seen in a montage. Spongebob lands on three Krabby Patty icons and gets a free Krabby Patty meal deal (actually paid for by Fondue) and while this makes Spongebob happy, he still realizes that Sandy isn't out of danger yet. Stimpy lands on three Powdered Toast icons, and gets a year supply of Powdered Toast of the Powdered Toast Man brand! This makes Stimpy AND Stinky very happy! Suzie lands on three chocolate bar icons, and gets a month supply of chocolate! This makes Susie very happy! Finally, Treeflower lands on three heart icons, just like Craig, Pearl, and Reggie did, and Sniz says: "Treeflower, you're about to be a very HAPPY beaver; you get to spend your date night with, NORBERT!!!!" And Norbert walks out and says: "Treeflower! You're all right!" Treeflower rushes up to Norbert and says: "So are you! Have you been working out?!" Norbert says: "Actually, I HAVE been working out a little, thank you for noticing!" And Marlene glances over at Treeflower, not sure what to MAKE of this development. (Confessional)

 

Marlene says: "On the one hand, I HATE it that Marlene has won something that SHE really wanted! But on the other hand, I won a prize that I REALLY wanted! So I guess they balance each other out! Besides, if Treeflower spends some time with Norbert, my mutual dislike for Treeflower will be completely forgotten by her, as she will get to have some proper closure with Norbert. So, I guess it isn't TOO bad, all things considering!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Sandy, Larry, prepare yourselves! Because when we come back, you're going to eat like you have NEVER eaten before!" Larry says: "And Sandy is going to LOSE, like she has NEVER lost before; RIGHT?!" Sandy rolls her eyes and says: "Only if things DO go your way!" Larry says: "And you KNOW that they should!" Sandy groans and can only say: "Oh, man!!!!" (Commercial Break) / I'll finish the last part of this episode later. / Enough said, for now!

[4EverGreen]

Here's the third, and FINAL part of my latest episode, "Diva Las Vegas!" / After the commercials end, both Sandy AND Larry are standing in the middle of the BIGGEST Las Vegas Buffet Food selection money (or Fairy Godparents) can provide! Sniz says: "Welcome to the BIGGEST BUFFET BLOWOUT!!!! It is SO accurately named, because there are LITERALLY only a handful of people, who have EVER managed to finish a meal here! Not only must you EAT a lot, but you have to eat food in certain combo's that MOST people wouldn't be willing to try! Now there are TWO ways to win this part of the challenge, eat the MOST food by eating MORE than the other contestant, or be the LAST contestant standing in case the other contestant can't eat any more. Oh, and there is also ONE way to automatically lose; if you throw up during the challenge, your opponent will automatically win regardless of how much the contestant has eaten!" (Confessional) Larry says: "Truth be told, I actually feel very good about my chances in this challenge. I mean, I could probably BEAT Sandy in a FAIR fight anyways, but its nice to have that security bargain to fall back on. And if Sandy WANTS me to honor MY deal, she WILL keep her end of the bargain!" (End Confessional)

 

Larry says: "Sandy, I think today is a REALLY great day to be on a diet!" Sandy says: "But I'm really HUNGRY right now!" Larry seriously says: "You SHOULDN'T be if you want to HELP a certain SPONGE of yours out!" Sandy asks: "Well, what would you want ME to do about MY hunger?" Larry answers: "Feel free to EAT what you want! Just don't eat more than me!" Sandy adds: "And don't throw up! It's NASTY!" Sniz says: "Actually, the Fairy Godparents have magically made it so that even if you DO throw up, the worst you'll throw up is rainbows! We want to keep this appropriate for the FAMILIES, don't we?" Sandy and Larry both nod their heads in agreement. Sniz says: "Then on your mark, get set (pushes a button which sounds an alarm) go!!!!" And Larry and Sandy both go at it, with Larry grabbing as MUCH as he can, and stuffing it in his MOUTH as fast as he can, while Sandy is PURPOSELY taking her time selecting her items, as she does NOT want to out-eat Larry!

 

Sniz says: "Larry is CLEARLY taking the fast and furious approach to eating! Anchovies on ice cream, apple slices on pizza, chocolate sauce drizzled over corn on the cob, Larry can seriously EAT! And it looks like Sandy has picked up a pasta bowl filled with gummy worms, gummy bears, and what is THIS?!" And Sniz starts singing: "On top of spaghetti, covered with Frosted Flakes, and Sandy must eat it, 'cause them's just the brakes." Larry is still doing a good job trying to fit food into his body, but its CLEARLY starting to take a toll on him! Larry says: "Stomach, don't you DARE quit on me now! Not when we need to get Sandy Cheeks eliminated!" Meanwhile, Sandy has BARELY touched any food, and looks in VERY good shape compared to Larry! It's then Larry realizes that HE needs Sandy to ACT on his behalf! Larry says: "Sandy, do SOMETHING!!!!" Sandy shrugs her shoulders, not knowing WHAT Larry wants! Larry speaks SERIOUSLY and says: "If I LOSE, SPONGEBOB LOSES!!!!" That gets Sandy's attention, and she knows what she has to do, and it will actually BE pretty!" Sandy, putting a plastic fork in her spaghetti, lumps up a BIG pile of it, puts it into her mouth, than she ACTS as if she ACCIDENTALLY dropped the fork inside her mouth!

 

Sandy feigns surprise and says: "How did THAT happen?! The fork is INSIDE me! I'm gonna...I'm GONNA..." And the camera QUICKLY cuts AWAY from her, and to a far-away wall, when a MASSIVE rainbow from out of nowhere, suddenly SPLATS onto the wall! Sniz says: "Oooh, tough luck for Sandy! She threw up a RAINBOW, that means Larry AUTOMATICALLY wins the second part of the challenge!" (Confessional) Sandy, still reeling from the experience, says: "On a scale of 1-10, that WOULD'VE been NASTY, if not for the RAINBOW effect! I mean, it's both GROSS and yet somehow PRETTY at the same time, unlike my experience of HAVING to lose!" / Larry says: "I must admit, I'm impressed. I didn't think she'd actually DO it!" (End Confessional)

 

Sniz says: "Larry, you have won your team an extra chance inside the giant pinball machine! Sandy, I know you WANT to sit this one out, but unfortunately, the ENTIRE team is needed in the last part of the challenge!" (Confessional) Sandy, still a little ill says: "This day is turning into one ROTTEN misfortune after another! Just when things look like they CAN'T get any worse, they do! Is this just ONE of those days where EVERYTHING that can go wrong, DOES?!" / Larry says: "Today is a day where everything that CAN go wrong, WILL! At least for Sandy! It's almost time for me to make my winning move, Sandy is in CHECK!" (End Confessional) Sandy, Larry, and Sniz rejoin the other contestants all waiting at the outside of the giant pinball machine, which is themed after "Rocket Power!" Otto says: "All right! A pinball machine made after ME! I knew one of these days my sport skills would pay off!" Reggie says: "Don't let it go to your head! It's made after me, to! After all, there's more to life than just getting great endorsement deals!" And Otto mocks Reggie when she says: "And Tito once said that the Ancient Hawaiians believed that to turn your back on those in need in pursuit of fame will wind up being alone."

 

And as Otto finishes mocking Reggie, Marlene says: "Oh, that was SO not COOL!!!!" Rocko says: "Come on guys, lets not fight against each other. Let us focus on fighting the REAL opponents, the Network Noobs!" Larry says: "It's going to be TOUGH for you to do that! Our team has FOUR chances to rank up the highest score! Your team only has THREE! How do you like THOSE odds?!" Spongebob says: "Larry, even with ALL the odds stacked in YOUR favor, you haven't won yet!" Larry scoffs and says: "Please! It's ALL over except the crying; which will be done by YOU at some point!" (Confessional) Spongebob fumes and says: "Ohhh, Larry would SO like for THAT to happen; but I'm NOT going to give him the satisfaction! If I can last a WHOLE day without crying against Squidward, I can CERTAINLY do it with Larry! I'm NOT going to let Larry BREAK me!" / Larry says: "I must BREAK you...Spongebob! You need to realize that you're going to LOSE without Sandy to help you." (End Confessional)

 

Spongebob says: "Sandy, we've got a GREAT shot at beating Larry, right?!" Sandy is STILL a little dizzy and says: "I wouldn't KNOW! Ordinarily, I'd SAY yes, but the birds flying around my head are making me a little less sure of myself! Has your skin ALWAYS been orange?!" (Confessional) Treeflower laughs out of nervousness and says: "This isn't a completely nervous, in denial laugh! I mean, besides the fact that Sandy currently doesn't have a full deck, we have one less chance than the Network Noobs, and the fact that Larry is about stronger than everyone on OUR team BESIDES Sandy put together; we've got a PERFECTLY decent shot of WINNING this challenge!" Than Treeflower shakes her head in frustration and says: "Who am I kidding?! Sandy, I, Marlene, and the rest of the team are going to have to vote you off if you can't pull off a MIRACLE for us!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Contestants, you will ride inside these giant plastic marble pinballs! In them, you can help steer and guide your pinball towards high score goals, and complete obstacles in the pinball machine! Whichever team gets up to 40 million points first, or whoever earns the most points before losing all their chances, will become the winner of the challenge! That means THEIR team will be safe from elimination! And the other team will VOTE someone off!"

 

(Confessional) Larry says: "Do you KNOW who's going to be voted off today? Well, their name ends with a 'Y', and its NOT me or Stimpy! And lets just say that she's trapped in a 'Sandywich' which she WON'T escape out of!" (End Confessionals) Sniz says: "It's time for someone to bring victory home! Contestants, get in the balls!" And the contestants divide themselves more or less evenly, between the three or four balls available to their team. And they find themselves STILL able to hear Sniz, thanks to an audio system installed in the giant marbles! Sniz says: "Prepare yourselves, get ready, LAUNCH!!!!" And a GIANT spring pushes the marbles from behind, and the contestants find themselves bumping against bumpers, being flipped by flippers, setting off a wide variety of sounds, as they wind up getting very dizzy and disoriented by the bumping! Marlene with her voice SHAKING due to all the turbulence, says: "Although it's VERY hard to talk, when you're getting moved around as much as this, I think I can safely say; that I've NEVER felt such a TURBULENT experience such as this!" But what NEITHER team realizes that lurking within the DARK recesses of the machine, is General Barracuda!

 

General Barracuda says: "FINALLY! I'm in this EPISODE! Larry thinks he can steal MY plans AWAY from me?! He's going to be sorry, as I DISGUISE myself as Eddie, PRINCE of the Netherworld and SUPREME rival to Otto Rocket, will make Larry PAY for trying to CROSS me!" And General Barracuda pulls a DARK cloak over himself, and wears a face-covering hockey mask, so no one will recognize him! Larry is somehow able to KEEP his compusure and says: "Don't worry guys, we've got THIS victory in the BAG!!!!" Than the DISGUISED General Barracuda jumps out, and firing a bunch of DEADLY hockey pucks, screams: "AHHH!!!! Kill, kill, kill, KILL!!!!" Skipper says: "Not THIS again!" Susie says: "Can't we just have a NORMAL challenge where we AREN'T being threatened by a maniac?!" Otto scoffs and says: "PLEASE!!!! That's no threat, that's just Eddie." Reggie says: "Otto, we've BEEN with Eddie; we KNOW Eddie; we've SKATED with Eddie! And there is NO way, THAT can be Eddie!" Otto gets nervous and asks: "Eddie, are you okay? Are you okay; are you okay, Eddie?" General Barracuda strikes a GANGSTER pose, makes an epic SWING at the ball Otto, Reggie, Susie, and Lil are in, which gets knocked OUT of the pinball machine, losing a chance for the Boom Vets, and General Barracuda says: "You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a SMOOTH criminal!"

 

Patrick says: "He's STILL causing trouble!" Craig says: "How do you KNOW its him?!" Patrick rolls his eyes and says: "Please! He's like, the ONLY character on this series who's actively going out of his WAY to try to DESTROY us, I think we can safely assume its HIM!" Pearl gets angry and says: "That rotten FISH!!!!" And Pearl motors toward the disguised fish! Pearl shouts: "You EVIL tyrant! You killed my FATHER! Prepare to DIE!!!!" But the giant marble proves to be NO match for General Barracuda, as the evil fish POUNDS that marble as well, sending Pearl, Patrick, Dog, and Craig inside, OUT of the pinball machine, losing a chance for the Network Noobs! The disguised General Barracuda says: "Next time, KNOW who your enemy IS before you TRY to take him on!" Larry says: "That jerk is trying to make our team LOSE! Doesn't he know I have PLANS to get rid of Sandy?! Who does he think he IS?!" Skipper says: "So what should we do about it?" Larry gets a BIG smile and says: "Let us teach him a lesson!" And Larry, Skipper, Angelica, and Darwin charge General Barracuda from behind! They knock him down going forward, going backwards, sideways, slantways, longways, backways, squareways, and front ways, and any other ways that are possible inside of a pinball machine! Larry says: "Do me a favor, don't go away mad...just go AWAY!!!!"

 

And Larry's pinball knocks General Barracuda forward, toward a pinball that Stimpy, Stinky, Treeflower, and Spongebob are in, and they are ALL knocked out of the pinball machine, losing another chance for the Boom Vets! Larry says: "And THEN there was one, Sandy!" Sandy meanwhile, has purposely been trying to move the ball she, Rocko, Marlene, and Haggis are in a bunch of different ways AWAY from targets, because she's TRYING to lose for Larry, but a fairly high score has been racked up already." Marlene says: "Sandy, aren't we supposed to be TRYING to hit the objects?! We're really MISSING them!" Sandy feigns dizzyness and says: "I guess I'm still a little woozy, and this game really isn't HELPING matters!" Haggis says: "Than maybe you should let an old pro and a young wallaby help win this challenge! With our combined skills, victory is inevitable!" And Sandy looks at them in horror! (Confessional) Sandy says: "If I let Haggis and Rocko control the pinball, my team WOULD win, but then I'd lose Spongebob! I had to STOP them, by any means NECCESSARY!" (End Confessional) Sandy starts freaking out (or rather, pretends to) and she says: "This rolling ball is too MUCH! I can't TAKE any more! It's such an IRRITANT, it makes me want to KICK things!" And Sandy EPICKLY kicks Rocko, knocking Rocko, and the ball, against a wall! (Confessional)

 

Rocko, with his head slightly bandaged, says: "I knew Sandy could kick, but I didn't know Sandy had THAT much kick! If Sandy didn't already HAVE Spongebob as a boyfriend, I might want to ask her out!" Than he realizes the implication of this statement, and quickly adds: "Don't tell Reggie, or Sandy, OR Spongebob!" (End Confessional) Marlene gets suspicious and says: "Enjoy any good FREAK-OUTS lately?!" Sandy says: "Sorry, Marlene. Maybe the game's just getting to me!" Haggis also gets suspicious and says: "Or maybe there's a certain SOMEONE who's no longer AT the top of their game!" Sandy gets nervous and asks: "What do you mean?" Marlene says: "Maybe you've been competing non-stop for TOO long! I don't think your services will be REQUIRED much longer!" Sandy starts sweating and says: "Please! I can EXPLAIN!!!!" Than Larry comes zooming towards them and shouts: "Explain THIS!!!!" Sandy's eyes gasp in horror, as the action seems to SLOW down and in slow motion, she screams: "Oh...NOOO!!!!" And Larry's pinball slams HARD into Sandy's, knocking the FINAL Boom Vets pinball out of the machine, and Larry says: "Check...MATE!!!! Sandy, in the immortal words of oh so MANY video games, Game OVER!!!!"

 

And the pinball machine suddenly shuts down. Sniz says: "And it's all over! With the Boom Vets having used up all their chances, and the Network Noobs having a high score of 33 million, the Network Noobs are the winners of this challenge! Boom Vets, I hate to say it, but you did NOT perform that challenge well. One of you will be going home tonight!" (Confessional) Marlene says: "Sandy, you've REALLY put me into a bad situation, but the rest of us simply CAN'T overlook the abysmal performance you had today! I know its wrong, but I have to vote you off. It's nothing personal, okay?" / Rocko says: "If I let Sandy CONTINUE to be in the game, by the rules of her KICKING me, I'm either going to have to make love with her, or TRY to form a final three alliance with her. And unfortunately, neither of those two choices are FEASABLE to me." / Susie says: "So it's COME to this! We actually HAVE to vote someone off! I was hoping our team would be SKILLED enough to avoid this, but I guess it just wasn't MEANT to be! I'm not voting off Sandy though; Treeflower has such a BAD attitude! Beaver got to go!" (End Confessional)

 

The "Silver Sniz" Theme plays, and the Boom Vets get to hear it for the first time. Sniz walks out and says: "Boom Vets, it seems that every team has to go through this at least once, even a team as skilled as yours. All of you were among the best of the best last season. Doing well in challenges, facing adversity, prevailing against difficulty, and even making it to the top. However, the ride is about to stop for one of you. Who's going to have to get off?" Fondue says: "Cue the voting devices!" And Fondue pushes a button, that makes electronic devices pop up in front of the contestants. Sniz says: "In front of you, are the devices you will use to vote someone off. No peeking is allowed, or else YOU might be the one who gets ELIMINATED! Whoever is safe, gets a Silver Sniz award filled with delicious carob! Go ahead and VOTE!!!!" The Boom Vets are ALL nervous, because while they KNOW they HAVE to vote, a lot of them DON'T want to, but eventually, every one of them finally presses on a button and votes. Wanda appears, with a tray full of Silver Sniz's! Sniz says: "When I call your name, be prepared to CATCH!"

 

And as Sniz calls each contestant's name, a Silver Sniz is thrown to them! Sniz says: "Stimpy with Stinky, Spongebob, Marlene, Haggis, Susie, Reggie, Rocko, Otto, and last but not least..." Dramatic music plays as Sniz pauses, making Treeflower and Sandy both sweat with anticipation over who will get the LAST award! After what seems like a period of waiting at the DMV, Sniz finally says: "Treeflower!" Than suddenly, Angelica walks up to the stage, and pushes Sniz away! Angelica says: "Sorry, Sandy! But you heard the man! You're not a winner; therefore, you must be the loser! It's just logic!" (Confessional)

 

Reggie says: "Voting off Sandy? Yeah, THAT hurt. I'm not saying Sandy DESERVED to go, but something very WEIRD must have been up with her in order to MAKE her kick MY boyfriend! That isn't right; and when you're not right, you're WRONG!!!!" / Haggis says: "Our team can't AFFORD to have players who can't FOCUS on the game! That's the reason why Ren had to leave! I just didn't think it would be the reason that SANDY had to leave!" / Sandy says: "The WORST part about my deal? I had to vote MYSELF off just so Larry would fulfill his commitment to keep Spongebob and Stimpy safe. Needless to say; lesson learned. Don't jump to conclusions unless they're facts that you KNOW that you can land on! And Spongebob, I'm sorry I couldn't discuss this with you." (End Confessional) Fondue slaps handcuffs on Sandy and says: "Dead squirrel walking!" And Fondue escorts Sandy to the limosuine of losers, only to be stopped by Otto! Otto says: "Leave her! Take me instead! I can't STAND another MINUTE of that Angelica PICKLES!!!!" Sandy says: "Sorry, Otto. You're NOT getting away from her THAT easily!" And Sandy gets into the Limosuine of Losers, and it drives off. (Confessional)

 

Larry is stunned and says: "She DID it! She actually DID it! She SACRIFICED her OWN game, fully NOT expecting to receive ANYTHING in return; and she kept her end of the bargain, by eliminating herself from the game! That means that I've succeeded! I SHOULD be happier than I've EVER been; but I'm not. Is it because SANDY was the one responsible for her OWN elimination from the game? My revenge should be FINISHED, but it feels like there's still a nagging loose end still hanging. But if its NOT Sandy, than WHAT?" / General Barracuda, looking a little bruised and bandaged from earlier, says: "So, Sandy is out of the game. Larry got what HE wanted! The FOOL!!!! If he knew ANYTHING about pulling off a master plan, he would've made SURE to have FINISHED the job by getting rid of HER permanently! Make no mistake; Sandy may be safe, but Spongebob and the REST of his friends are going down! I'll GET my revenge against each and every ONE of them!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Sounds like a certain FISH is still a little CRANKY about things! But what can he do without Patrick to help him out? I'm not sure, but I'm sure we'll find out the answer, on another episode of Total Cartoon Action!" /

 

Episode Notes: This episode marks the first time the Boom Vets have actually HAD to endure an elimination ceremony, and this marks the FIRST time Sandy has been eliminated in a vote-off. Ren Hoek, Girly Teengirl, Beyonce Knowles, and Norbert all make guest appearances in this episode. Songs referenced/slightly used in this episode are "Single Ladies," and "Smooth Criminal." Enough said, true believers!

[Hayden]

Can you make some episode synopses for all your episodes?

 

Also maybe some elimination tables so I can follow who has been voted off?

[4EverGreen]

Can you make some episode synopses for all your episodes?

 

Also maybe some elimination tables so I can follow who has been voted off?

Do you mean like short summaries for all the official episodes? Sure, I can make them; but I'll probably put them up on my personal forum topic, in the Sharing Time Forum. Also, I actually HAVE been making an elimination table for this season; and I actually need to update it. It will take me some time to get it posted, so please be patient in the meanwhile.

[Hayden]

Yeah short summaries basically. No worries, I have patience for miles.

[4EverGreen]

Yeah short summaries basically. No worries, I have patience for miles.

Well, I posted the summaries on my "Straight Up!" personal topic, but due to circumstances beyond my control, the Cartoon Edgic thing is not going to happen, and unfortunately, it never will. But at the very least, I can still continue to write my ongoing story for "Total Cartoon Action," and that's the REALLY important thing! Speaking of, it's time for a brand NEW episode of this hit show, the show called "Total Cartoon Action!" /

 

"Height Anxiety" In the T.V. Monitor Room, Sniz says: "Last time on Total Cartoon Action, the contestants were eager to test their luck, in a Las Vegas Movie challenge. Some contestants, Rocko, Reggie, Craig, Pearl, Marlene, Skipper, Treeflower, and Patrick, fared better than others. Angelica lost MORE than her dignity, she lost her wig! Guess that's what you get for being mean. But one contestant, namely Sandy, lost even BIGGER! In order to keep Spongebob and Stimpy safe, Sandy made a deal with Larry, to throw the challenge, as long as Larry agreed to keep the two guys safe until the team merge. To Larry's surprise, Sandy kept her end of the bargain, even voting herself off for good measure and ensuring her own elimination. Now, the question on the minds of the remaining contestants is; will Larry keep HIS end of the bargain, and keep Spongebob and Stimpy safe? Personally, I think he SHOULD if he doesn't want to ENDANGER his own chances of winning, but that remains to be seen. Can Larry guide his team to another victory win? How will the Boom Vets fare without Sandy? What kind of diabolical plot will General Barracuda try to unleash upon the unsuspecting players?! Find out on today's episode of Total Cartoon Action!"

 

After the show's intro, Spongebob is in bed, staring forlornly at the space FORMERLY occupied by Sandy. Spongebob sniffles and says: "I still can't believe you're really gone." Than Spongebob gets mad and says: "That JERK, Larry! He had NO right to make you THROW the challenge the way you did! I promise Sandy, that on Neptune's Spatula, I will AVENGE your honor!" Stimpy comes out of the bathroom and says: "Look Spongebob, I'm sure Sandy would appreciate the gesture; but you gotta remember, she didn't THROW the challenge for Larry, she threw it for US!" Stinky says: "That's right, Spongebob! If it wasn't for Sandy's sacrifice, Larry would've gunned for either you OR us!" Stimpy says: "And if we decide to strike back, that will make Sandy's sacrifice all in vain! She wouldn't want that, and neither do you!" Spongebob sighs and says: "Ahhh, I know. But what good is it to KNOW what someone else made someone you CARE for do, if you can't do anything about it?" Stimpy says: "In my personal view, you can ALWAYS choose to do something about it. I learned the hard way that lying about something, even if you don't THINK of it as being harmful, always finds a WAY to be harmful to you; if not to yourself, than to people you care for. It's a WHOLE lot easier to do the right thing, than it is to do what YOU would like to do!"

 

Spongebob asks: "So does that mean we have to let karma take its course on Larry?" Stimpy answers: "It's not in my place to decide on what should or shouldn't be done with Larry. Quite frankly, I'm still not in much of a position to judge in either case. I still have to lay low for a little while. You'll have to decide for yourself what the right thing to do is." Spongebob sniffles a bit, but holds back a tear, and says: "Very well, Stimpy. You're right." (Confessional) Stimpy says: "I constantly find myself put into an awkward position on this show. Because of my team leader status, I'm expected to solve my team's problems. But at the moment, I don't think it's in my best interest to do so. If I want to be an effective team leader, I need to be able to stay here for the long haul. I know Larry is SUPPOSSED to not GUN for me, but it STILL doesn't hurt to be careful!" Stinky says: "That's a very true statement, dad." / Spongebob says: "Sandy, you may be gone, but I WON'T let your sacrifice be in vain! I CAN fend for myself, and make a decent showing! I'll do my best to lead our teams to victories, and if Larry tries anything funny with me OR Stimpy, I won't LET him! Larry is going to find that if he tries to make trouble with me, he's going to be making trouble with our WHOLE team! After all, if there's one thing we learned last season, turnabout IS fair play!" (End Confessional)

 

Meanwhile, in the Network Noobs' trailers, Larry is pacing back and forth through his bedroom, puzzling over a difficult thought in his head. Craig is looking at him, confused at what Larry is thinking of. Finally, Craig asks: "What's on your mind, Larry?" Larry answers: "It just DOESN'T make any SENSE! Sandy willingly sacrificed herself ON purpose, for Spongebob and Stimpy!" Craig asks: "So? Isn't THAT what you wanted?" Larry says: "So I thought, but now, it just DOESN'T add up and make SENSE! NOBODY sacrifices themself for SOMEONE else and EXPECTS to receive NOTHING in return!" Craig says: "You ALWAYS receive something if you're doing it for someone else. Even if it isn't tangible, the reward is always there!" Larry asks: "What are you TALKING about?! What kind of reward exists that is SO valuable, that it isn't tangible, yet its STILL worth going for?! I know Sandy LOVES Spongebob, but no amount of LOVE could be enough for Sandy to sacrifice herself on Spongebob's behalf! It's almost like she had an ENTIRE angle! She HAD to have known that once SHE was out of the game, that the whole game would go to US! So why would she let herself be TAKEN out of the game?!" Craig Mammalton says: "You seem tense, Larry. Maybe you would like me to give you a nice SPONGE bath to make you feel better?"

 

Larry is distracted and says: "Now that you mention it, a good SPONGE bath from you would be...GENIUS!!!! Of Course! SPONGE!" Craig asks: "You want me to start running it?" Larry says: "Focus, Craig! Why does SOMEONE sacrifice themselves on someone elses behalf?" Craig answers: "Because they believe in the valuable reward of karma and the fact that as long as you make up for your own mistakes and do the right thing for someone else, they will ALWAYS get a reward, even if its a goal that can be seen, for doing the right thing in the end?" Larry says: "It's SPONGEBOB! How could I FORGET the most important RULE of chess?!" Craig answers: "To always watch your rear?" Larry says: "That's JOUSTING! And the most important rule of chess, is that its the KING you need to checkmate, not the QUEEN! I mislabeled my targets! Eliminating SANDY wasn't essential to winning the game, it's SPONGEBOB that needs to be eliminated! That's why my revenge didn't give me SATISFACTION!" Craig asks: "Are you sure it's NOT because you know deep down, Sandy is right, and revenge is NOT the answer, and that it DOESN'T make you feel any better?!" Larry asks: "Is there some secret Anti-Revenge Society I don't KNOW about that feeds people this gobbledygook?! That's exactly what SANDY said in the LAST challenge!"

 

Pearl comes out of the restroom and asks: "A secret Anti-Revenge Society?! I want to join!...As long as we can still get even with General Barracuda!" Larry says: "That was a RHETORICAL statement Pearl; Sandy HAD to have known FULL well that even if SHE was taken out of the game, Spongebob could still keep the game going even WITHOUT her! After all, it WAS Spongebob that Sandy CHOSE over me! That's why she was so EAGER to PROTECT him! Therefore, it looks like we HAVEN'T achieved our 'Checkmate' in this game after all." Craig asks: "But what are you going to do? You made a BARGAIN with Sandy, remember? She only agreed to LET herself be TAKEN out of the game if YOU promised to keep Spongebob and Stimpy safe until the team merge! She held HER end of the bargain, now you have to hold YOURS!" Larry growls and says: "I KNEW there was a reason why I didn't like that BARGAIN!" Patrick SMARTPANTS comes in and says: "You can always IGNORE a bargain! Scientific geniuses like myself don't WORRY about keeping a bargain, as long as we stay focused on the LONGER game!" Larry says: "Patrick, I'm a lobster of PRINCIPLE! If I didn't keep the bargains that I make for myself, what kind of man would I be? Sandy HELD her end of the bargain, and I'm obligated to do the same."

 

Patrick protests: "But it would be so EASY to get RID of Spongebob RIGHT now if you--." Larry screams: "NOOO!!!! I GAVE my word! And I NEVER go back on my word, no matter HOW much it eats at me!" Patrick asks: "You mean, you're going to honor your promise?" Larry answers: "If I WANT my overall plan to succeed, I WILL! Besides, its not imperative that we get RID of Spongebob right away! After all, a King can only make ONE space moves, in any direction, but only ONE space! Spongebob's NOT the biggest threat to us now! Besides, there are OTHER moves we can make! Namely, we fortify our own defenses, chip away at the opposing teams defense, and leave Spongebob more exposed when the time DOES come to take him out!" Patrick says: "Larry, you're taking a BIG risk letting Spongebob have SO much time to prepare himself! After all, the Team Merge is still a GOOD ways away! Are you SURE you want to give Spongebob so much time to plan a strike back against us?!" Larry answers: "Spongebob IS a King, but he's NOT a threatening one! The concepts of strategizing and striking back are LOST upon him! Besides, have you SEEN our defenses?! They are solid as a WALL! And there is NOTHING Spongebob could POSSIBLY throw at us to BREAK our wall! We have the best OFFENSE and the best DEFENSE available to us!"

 

Patrick says: "Very well, then. I shall TRUST your judgment. You had BEST be right about this!" Larry says: "Rest assured. The best WEAPON the Boom Vets HAD was Sandy, but they can no longer USE her, seeing as how she's GONE! As far as I'm concerned, it's all a matter of wearing them down! We have ALL the time in the world we NEED in order to do THAT!" Craig says: "But we're doing this all honorably and nobly, right Larry?" Larry looks in the mirror, flexes his muscles and says: "Buddy, I'm all ABOUT honor and nobility in this game!" (Confessional) Craig is giving Larry a NICE, relaxing Sponge Bath and Larry says: "Yes, it STINKS that Spongebob can't be eliminated like I would LIKE him to be, but that's not TOO big of a concern. After all, I only promised Sandy that I would PERSONALLY spare Spongebob and Stimpy, I made no other promises. So if his own team decides to ditch him for something stupid that he will probably, inevitably do, that's on THEIR hands and not mine! And once Spongebob is gone, I can clean my claws all CLEAN of the matter!" Craig asks: "You want me to clean your CLAWS now?!" Larry says: "Actually, get a little lower, in my leg/chest area. I LOVE the way that SPONGE feels in there!" Craig says: "It sounds a lot WEIRDER when YOU say it!" Larry says: "It may SOUND weird, but it FEELS so RIGHT!" (End Confessional)

 

Then suddenly, at 7 A.M. sharp, Sniz plays the sound of a LARGE airplane coming in for a landing, over the loudspeakers! Otto says: "AHHH!!!! It's the big blitz! The aliens are coming! Eddie was RIGHT!" Reggie says: "It's NOT aliens! It's just Sniz making our mornings MISERABLE again! I have had it up to HERE with HIM interrupting my mornings!" Treeflower snidely asks: "What's the matter? Get up on the wrong side of your SUPER comfortable WALLABY?!" Reggie angrily answers: "Even a VERY great beauty needs her BEAUTY sleep!" Treeflower laughs derisively and says: "Beauty sleep?! You'd have to sleep for like a MONTH to look even 1/10th as good as I do!" Marlene whispers to Reggie: "And YOU were wondering why I PERSONALLY wanted to get RID of her?! THAT!!!!" Sniz announces: "Attention contestants, you have an announcement! This is an announcement to announce that I will announce how the next challenge will unfold, at the announcement center, AKA, the cafeteria! That's all I wanted to announce!" Skipper asks: "Seriously? He just used the word 'announce' or a variation thereof at LEAST six times, and didn't actually ANNOUNCE anything! What's the point of such an announcement?" Treeflower sarcastically says: "Mainly to TRY to annoy us! I would THINK that you would be HIP to this routine by now!"

 

(Confessional) Marlene says: "Alliance?! More like an ANNOYANCE! She is SO blatantly offensive, snooty, stuck-up, and so HIGH thinking of herself; that if she were ANY higher, she'd be suffocating from a lack of OXYGEN! She holds her nose SO high up in the air, that if it rained, she would actually DROWN! That Treeflower Fields, I can't STAND HER!!!!" / Skipper says: "It's one thing to insult Marlene, but when YOU insult me, there will be a piper to pay! It's time you got a heaping stew of karma payback, beaver! And THAT, is what I'm going to give to you!" (End Confessional) At the cafeteria, after everyone has eaten their breakfast, Sniz comes onstage and happily asks: "Did you ENJOY the special wake-up call I made for you?!" Otto loudly says: "NO!!!!" Sniz continues as if Otto didn't say anything and says: "GOOD!!!! Than it's time to tell you what today's challenge is going to be ALL about! We're paying tribute to the master of suspense, the professor of perils, the expert of fright, by making today's challenge, all about, Alfred Hitchcock movies!!!!" And everyone just blankly stares at him. Sniz says: "Alfred Hitchcock? Kind of big, kind of British? Made about a dozen or so successful scary movies? Usually made a came appearance in every one of those movies?" Darwin raises his hand and asks: "Is he the FAT man?!"

 

Sniz shakes his head and says: "An over 75 year legacy and he's REDUCED to being the FAT man! I'm going to go WEEP for the future of America and the world at large!" Sniz leaves the stage and Fondue steps up and takes over. Fondue says: "Just for THAT response, all of the losers of THIS challenge will have to WATCH our top Alfred Hitchcock movie choices at the local drive-in theatre tonight! Rear Window, Dial 'M' for Murder, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds should teach you to respect the great master!" And most of the contestants GROAN at this announcement! Fondue says: "On the other hand, whichever team WINS the challenge, will get to choose TWO of their own team to go on a luxurious hotel spa trip get away for an ENTIRE three days! A fabulous hotel with ALL of the luxuries of home and THEN some! You'll be waited on hand and foot as a TEAM of hotel waiters cater to your EVERY desire and whim! It's all just to show you that despite the pressures we put you through, we care about each and every one of you!" Fondue looks at Treeflower and adds: "SOME of you more than others!" Treeflower SCREAMS: "What was THAT supposed to MEAN?!!!" Angelica mocks her and annoyingly says: "What was THAT supposed to mean?! Seriously, that's what you SOUND like! Do you HONESTLY even LISTEN to yourself when you TALK?!!!"

 

Dog throws up his hands and says: "FINALLY!!!! Someone ELSE finally SAID it!" (Confessional) Treeflower mocks Angelica and annoyingly says: "Do you even listen to yourself when you TALK?! Seriously, that's what SHE sounds like! Angelica thinks that she is SO funny!" Treeflower laughs mockingly, and then seriously says: "Do you want to know who I think is NOT funny?! Blind, crazy STUPID girls named ANGELICA PICKLES!!!!" / Dog says: "I think I have found at least SOMEONE worse than Cat; Treeflower! She makes Cat look like a SAINT in comparison! I'm not saying I want to be ATTACHED to him again, but going back home is starting to look PRETTY appealing right about now!" (End Confessional) Fondue says: "We got to take a break for messages, than we'll be back to begin today's challenge in earnest! Use the time to get prepared for whatever we're about to THROW at you!" (Commercial Break) / I'll stop posting now, and finish the rest of this episode later. / Enough said, for now!

[Hayden]

I'm going to go ahead and call Skipper as my favorite thus far.

[4EverGreen]

I'm going to go ahead and call Skipper as my favorite thus far.

Well then, you might be disappointed with WHO ends up being the eliminated contestant in this episode. Speaking of, it's time to get back to my latest episode called, "Height Anxiety!" / The two teams are now located across each other in different rooms of an apartment complex, and Sniz is down below them and says: "Welcome back to Total Cartoon Action! Now that I've had some time to sob over the lack of knowledge of Alfred Hitchcock by SOME people, it's time to tell you how today's challenge is going to work. It is a 3 part challenge! The first part of the challenge will combine Rear Window with Dial 'M' for Murder." Someone must stand guard for BOTH teams, and watch for ANY suspicious activities done by any members of the opposing team. You don't know WHICH team member we've secretly selected to be the 'criminal' of this challenge, or what 'crime' they are going to commit! The first team to SPOT the RIGHT crime and criminal for the other team, in order to WIN, must pick up the phone and dial 'M' for Murder!" Otto protests: "But that's NOT what Dial 'M' for Murder was all about!" Sniz gets flabbergasted and asks: "SERIOUSLY?! You know about Dial 'M for Murder, but NOT who Alfred Hitchcock IS?!!!" Otto answers: "I know who Alfred Hitchcock is, I just don't feel like wasting my time indulging you in your USELESS trivia information!"

 

Sniz protests: "My information is NOT useless! Why, just knowing a HANDFUL of the stuff that I know could EASILY net you on average, about $20,000 a night on Jeopardy! Depending of course, on the subjects of any particular night AND how fast you are on the buzzer!" Marlene says: "THANK YOU!" Sniz asks: "For what?" Marlene answers: "For putting a certain delinquent PUNK in his place!" (Confessional) Otto says: "I get called a LOT of things, but a DELINQUENT is NOT one of them! If Marlene WANTS to meet a delinquent, my buddy Twister has an older brother named Lars Rodriguez that I can introduce to HER!" / Marlene says: "I'd prefer to take a STAB at Treeflower, in more ways than one; but I can't jeopardize my 'ALLIANCE' with her, no matter HOW much I HATE her! I'd rather keep her ON my side than AGAINST my side! Sometimes, being in a Catch-22 situation can REALLY suck!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "It's not so important as to WHAT Dial 'M' for Murder was about, what matters is what the challenge is about. Are we CLEAR on that?!" Suzie salutes Sniz and says: "Crystal clear, sir!" Sniz says: "Good! Than let's get ACTING!!!!" / The Boom Vets are all grouped together in a big closet and discuss their plan for the challenge.

 

Marlene asks: "So, which one of us got STUCK with being a 'criminal?'" Treeflower rolls her eyes, scoffs and says: "You're NOT going to believe this, but Sniz says that I HAVE to be the 'criminal!'" Haggis laughs loudly and says: "Now THERE'S a roll that suits you WELL!" Treeflower fumes and yells: "What was THAT supposed to MEAN?!!!" Stimpy mocks Treeflower and says: "What was THAT supposed to mean?" Than Stimpy gets serious and says: "Seriously, that's what YOU sound like! Do you honestly even LISTEN to yourself when you TALK?!!!" Stinky comes out of Stimpy's ear and says: "You said it!" (Confessional) Treeflower says: "Okay; Angelica INSULTING me, I can understand. But STIMPY?!!! Or is he just still sore that he lost his bosom buddy Ren? Either way, I don't CARE! But COME ON!!!! Out of all the things to complain about ME; why do they pick the SOUND of my VOICE?!!! My voice is PRETTY!!!!" / Haggis asks: "PRETTY?!!! Pretty annoying, is more LIKE it!" (End Confessional) Otto says: "It's almost like Sniz WANTS us to lose this challenge!" Reggie says: "So, we're just going to have to try that much harder to make sure we DON'T! I'm NOT going to miss out on a chance to win a spa trip and get RID of Angelica Pickles!" Rocko asks: "And what makes you so certain that the other team would get rid of her if they LOSE?"

 

Reggie scoffs and says: "Please! Everybody here HATES her! It's not like anyone LIKES her, even OTTO doesn't like her anymore!" Otto says: "It's true! Instead of being my dream queen, she's SO 2014!!!!" Susie says: "I'd like to see Angelica gone as much as the next contestant, but I just don't see it happening." Reggie says: "Come on! If we ALL band together, we can EASILY put the pressure on the Network Noobs to get them to boot her off!" Spongebob says: "One problem; Sandy was our CHIEF strategist! She had all the GOOD ideas! How are we supposed to formulate a plan without her?!" Reggie shouts: "I..." than stops and realizes what she is missing. Reggie says: "I don't know!" Haggis says: "How do you expect to eliminate Angelica Pickles if you don't even have a plan with which to do it?" Reggie says: "The plan's not so important as is the DESIRE to want her gone! Now WHO'S with me?!" Otto scoffs and says: "Does being 'WITH YOU' imply that we're in alliance, doing WORK?! Because I remember being a part of ANGELICA'S alliance last season, and all it did was SUCK for me!" Susie says: "And I can tell you, Otto's not about to do WORK unless it involves some sort of fun!" Reggie protests: "An alliance can be a TON of fun, if you JUST give it a chance!" Marlene says: "I'm sorry, but I have a maximum one alliance rule per season, that's all I can handle!"

 

Treeflower says: "And Reggie, I don't need YOUR help in order to take Angelica Pickles down!" Reggie fumes and says: "You are ALL such stupid SHOOBIES!!!!" (Confessional) Reggie is mad and says: "That Angelica Pickles is wreaking HAVOC on my ZEN! If I have to listen to another one of, 'Angelica Pickles is going to get her sweet revenge' stories, I SWEAR to Tito's ancient Hawaiian Tiki Gods that I will TAKE one of my PRIZED surfboards and SHOVE it down Angelica's THROAT!!!! Is it BAD karma to wish BODILY harm to someone who's universally HATED?! It better not be, because she SO deserves it!" / Otto says: "An alliance is the LAST thing I want this season! That only involves more work, and I'm NOT going to put myself through THAT kind of agony again! Maybe I have some sort of 'un-official' thing with Susie, but it's just a lousy final two deal! It's not like I have plans to fall in love with her...yet!" / Treeflower says: "I have a good eye for spotting competition winners and losers! Reggie is not a winner! If she WERE a winner, Angelica Pickles wouldn't have beaten HER last season! The only reason I DIDN'T win last season is because I was cheated off! Thankfully, that's NOT going to happen THIS season! There's not a single contestant here STUPID enough to pull a stunt like THAT on me this season!" (End Confessional) /

 

The Network Noobs are all grouped together in a restroom and discussing their plans. Larry says: "It's time to discover which one of us gets STUCK with being the 'criminal!'" Dog, Gerald, and Darwin all simultaneously raise their hands and say: "Not it!" Larry looks at the challenge instructions and says: "How cliche! Angelica, YOU have to be the criminal for this CHALLENGE!" Angelica gets mad and shouts: "Does Sniz actually WANT us to LOSE this challenge?!" Patrick says: "Not so LOUD! The other team will HEAR you!" Angelica scoffs and says: "So?! Let them HEAR me!" Pearl says: "YOU can talk! You don't care what ANYBODY thinks of you!" Angelica gets flabbergasted and says: "I care PLENTY what other people think of me! I'm PRETTY!!!!" Larry says: "More like pretty CONSPICUOUS! Your messed up hair-do is a DEAD give-away!" Angelica looks around and SPOTS a blond wig on a vanity mirror, that looks a LOT like Pearl's hair-do! Angelica says: "That will SOLVE our problem!" Angelica puts the wig on her hair and says: "Not NEARLY the amount of hair I would like, but it will have to do for now! With this hair, the other team will think that PEARL is the criminal, and call on HER instead of ME!" Pearl says: "But I'm not CAPABLE of carrying out a crime, and Spongebob KNOWS this!" Dog asks: "Does anyone ELSE know this?"

 

Pearl answers: "Not that I know of." Skipper says: "It's settled then! Angelica, you do what YOU'VE got to do; Pearl, do something conspicuous to throw the Boom Vets away from looking at Angelica! I will run some subterfuge recon missions, and FIND out who the Boom Vets have as a CRIMINAL!" (Confessional) Skipper says: "And in addition, KICKING Treeflower's beaver BUTT while I'm lucky! She may be female, but she is DEFINITELY no lady; therefore, kicking HER butt is fair game!" (End Confessional) Marlene is stationed at a window location, and notices that Gerald is stationed at an opposite window location. Marlene says: "Oh, man! I wish Skipper was stationed over there instead! At least then, I could CHAT with somebody! Watching for crime is REALLY going to suck! The others don't even have a PLAN for throwing the scent off of Treeflower! On the other hand, if we lost, it would be EASY to get rid of Treeflower this time! The others might WANT the reward, but getting rid of Treeflower would be SO sweet!" Skipper barges in and says: "So you DO want to get rid of Treeflower still?! I knew you weren't REALLY in an alliance with her!" Marlene shushes Skipper and says: "Not so LOUD! I'm TRYING to keep my HATRED of Treeflower a SECRET from her! If she knew that I STILL wanted to get rid of HER, she'd drop her grunge against Angelica in a heart beat!"

 

Skipper scoffs and says: "You've GOT to seize the initiative! Carpe diem, Marlene! In other words, reach out and touch faith!" Marlene sighs and says: "Fine! If YOU want to try to get rid of Treeflower, you be my guest! But you MUST leave ME out of it! I can't risk getting involved with a situation like this in case it backfires!" Skipper smiles and says: "Have you EVER known one of my missions to EVER backfire on me?" Marlene answers: "Except for the one time where you tried to cure Mort of his obsession with King Julien's feet, no." Skipper says: "Then since Mort isn't here, I'd say you've got nothing to worry about!" Marlene smiles back and says: "I LOVE you!" And they both share a romantic kiss! (Confessional) Marlene is thinking and says: "Miss Marlene Skipper Penguin-Otter; I think Skipper is comfortable enough in his own masculinity that he will let me keep my own last name when we get married!" / Skipper is thinking and says: "Miss Marlene Skipper Penguin-Otter; I'm comfortable enough in my own masculinity that I feel good about letting Marlene keep her own last name when we get married!" (End Confessional) Sniz is on a crane and says: "It's time to get this challenge started! Lights! Camera, ACTION!!!!" And as Sniz claps the clap-board, Marlene and Gerald quickly get out their binoculars, and scan the many apartment rooms for signs of a crime.

 

Gerald STARTS by looking for a crime, but he quickly gets bored and says: "SERIOUSLY?! This is the challenge?! This is SERIOUSLY boring!" Than Gerald SPOTS Susie Carmichael, dancing to Destiny Child's "Say My Name" and fixates on HER, saying: "THAT'S not BORING!!!!" And Gerald COMPLETELY ignores the shifty activities that Treeflower is doing! / The action than SHIFTS to what Treeflower is ACTUALLY doing, and it's NOT glamorous! Treeflower says: "Who comes up with a CHALLENGE like this?! I have to smuggle smelly SHEEP shearings out of THIS apartment, and take it to the OTHER apartment, to SELL on the BLACK market?! What a STUPID premise for MY challenge!" (Confessional) Sniz says: "For the record, the premise for THIS challenge is NOT stupid, it's ORIGINAL!!!!" (End Confessional) Treeflower asks herself: "What could be WORSE than having to smell this STUPID stuff in this STINKING challenge?!" Skipper sneaks up on Treeflower and says: "Having your dirty deeds ALL caught on camera!!!!" And before Treeflower can blink, Skipper RAPIDLY takes snapshots of Treeflower and the evidence all around her, and Treeflower SCREAMS in fright and anger!

 

Marlene actually HEARS the screams and says: "Oh man! The Network Noobs are going to hear that for SURE! If only I could..." Than Marlene stops, and notices what looks like Pearl, gathering up a BUNCH of sheep shearings! Marlene says: "Is THAT Pearl?! No...it CAN'T be Pearl, she's too short!" Than it HITS on her, as there is ONLY one other female on the Network Noobs' team; and Marlene says: "Angelica!" Marlene SPOTS the phone, and quickly picks it up, and pushes the 'M' button on the phone! Skipper is SO busy enjoying himself on BUSTING Treeflower, that he's SURPRISED when a big alarm BLARES on the set! Sniz announces: "Attention criminals! The challenge has ENDED! Marlene has spotted Angelica and has won the first part of the challenge!" Skipper shouts and says: "What are you TALKING about?! I got the hard-core EVIDENCE of Treeflower STEALING first!" Sniz says: "True, but you didn't ACTUALLY call it in! If you had, YOUR team would've won this part of the challenge. But since you didn't, it goes to the Boom Vets!" Larry goes up to Gerald, who's STILL watching Susie's dancing, slaps Gerald in the back of the head, and shouts: "Way to pay ATTENTION, Romeo!" Gerald gets startled and shouts: "What did I do?!" Patrick says: "You BLEW our chance to win this part of the challenge! That's what you did!"

 

Pearl says: "If anyone is to be BLAMED, it should be Skipper! He WASTED time collecting evidence instead of calling it IN like he's supposed to!" Dog says: "You have a point, Pearl! He IS the reason we lost this part of the challenge!" Larry says: "It's not over yet, my friends. After all, there are STILL two parts of the challenge to do. We'll see how Skipper performs in THOSE parts before we COMMIT to making plans of voting anyone off!" Sniz says: "We've got to take time to strike this set, and build the next one; but when we come back, we'll see the DRAMATIC conclusion of this DRAMATIC episode of Total Cartoon Action!" (Commercial Break) / I'll break right here and finish up this episode the next time I post. Enough said, for now!

[4EverGreen]

Here is the third and final part of my latest "Total Cartoon Action" episode, "Height Anxiety!" / After the commercials end, the contestants are now outside of a 12 room motel called "The Ates Motel," only it LOOKS like there USED to be another letter BEFORE the word, "Ates." Angelica looks around and asks: "What kind of a movie takes place in a run-down hotel?! Let ALONE a SCARY movie!" Susie gets a smug look on her face and says: "I KNOW!!!! But I'm NOT telling YOU!" Angelica asks: "And why is THAT?!" Susie answers: "Because I don't like you!" Angelica shrugs and says: "Fair enough." Sniz says: "One of the key elements in ANY Alfred Hitchcock movie is SUSPENSE! You know SOMETHING scary is going to happen, you just don't know WHEN! Your job is to create the RIGHT amount of suspense at the RIGHT moment! The bigger the suspense, the better you'll score! Score the highest, and you'll win the second part of the challenge!" Otto scoffs and says: "Creating suspense to score and win a challenge?! Who came up with THAT one?!" Sniz sarcastically says: "Oh, I'm TERRIBLY sorry! And YOUR reality game show is WHERE?!" Otto looks blankly back at him, and Sniz says: "That's what I thought." (Confessional)

 

Otto says: "Where are all the extreme SPORT challenges?! I was PROMISED that there would be extreme SPORTS involved this season!" / Sniz says: "For the record, I said A extreme sport CHALLENGE would be involved this season. At LEAST, but no guarantee that there would be more than just ONE of them!" (End Confessional) Angelica raises her hand and asks: "Is there a part specifically designed to show off my AWESOME new wig?!" Sniz gets a smug look, chuckles and says: "Don't WORRY, Angelica; this challenge CAN'T be done without YOU!" (Confessional) Angelica says: "I always knew Sniz was going to need ME eventually! After all, I'm drama AND the whole package! I'm ESSENTIAL to the show!" / Craig says: "Angelica is essentially SOMETHING all right; she's ESSENTIALLY doomed!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Treeflower, you are ALSO going to be needed! We need YOU to TAKE a SHOWER!!!!" Treeflower screams: "WHAT?!!!" (Confessional) Treeflower says: "Unlike Angelica, I'm NOT a stupid IDIOT! First, Sniz makes ME the villain, and NOW he wants to make ME the victim?! You're going to HAVE to try a LOT better than THAT if you want to get RID of me, SNIZ!!!!" / Sniz says: "Treeflower doesn't have to worry, I'm only JUST getting started!" (End Confessional) Treeflower pulls Marlene aside and says: "I need to talk to you!"

 

Marlene says: "And I NEED another season of The Penguins of Madagascar to show ME and Skipper getting married, but THAT clearly isn't going to happen, IS it?!" Treeflower gets desperate and says: "PLEASE! You've GOT to know about the TWIST of this challenge! I'm your ALLIANCE partner!" Marlene says: "You're not a very GOOD one if you haven't figured out a way to get RID of Angelica yet!" Reggie says: "I've got three words; Full Team ALLIANCE!!!!" Otto, Marlene, and Treeflower simultaneously scream: "NO!!!!" (Confessional) Rocko says: "Reggie's not having much luck forming an alliance. Although she DOES have me, that's GOT to count for something! Why does Reggie need a WHOLE team to take down Angelica anyways?" / Reggie says: "Do you want to know why I NEED a whole TEAM to take down Angelica? THINK about it! She's a COCKROACH! If you DON'T squash the HEAD, she's only going to re-generate and come BACK for MORE! Have they FORGOTTEN how HARD it was to get RID of Angelica LAST season? And THAT was when they DIDN'T know WHAT she was capable of! But KNOWING what we KNOW now, how can they just brush her OFF?! I just CAN'T understand what the REST of my team is THINKING! At least I know that Rocko is on MY side!" / Rocko says: "I will ALWAYS be on Reggie's side!" (End Confessional)

 

Treeflower says: "Okay! FORGET me being ANGRY with you about Norbert! I know that was NOT your intention! Just help me out here and I SWEAR, I'll drop my vendetta against you forever!" Marlene says: "I'm a reasonable sea otter; of COURSE I'll help you if you keep your promise!" Treeflower shouts: "DEAL!" (Confessional) Marlene says: "The way I see it, this is a win-win deal for me. If Treeflower KEEPS her promise, I don't have to worry about her until at LEAST the team merge. If she BREAKS her promise, Karma is going to have something to SAY to her, and FIND a way to ELIMINATE her!" / Treeflower says: "Yeah, making a deal that BREAKS my vendetta AGAINST Marlene? CLEARLY not my BEST moment in strategy retrospect! But I was DESPEREATE! Some of you don't KNOW what it's like to be facing a crisis like I was at THAT moment! I mean, they're not going to kill me, but there are a LOT of things so much WORSE than death! I had to do SOMETHING to save my fur!" (End Confessional) Treeflower says: "Marlene, all you have to do is stand watch in front of the restroom door, and make sure that NOTHING gets past you!" Marlene smiles and says: "Can do, Treeflower!" Darwin asks: "Do you think we should WARN Angelica about what's going to happen to her?" Than Darwin, and everyone who ISN'T Angelica, LAUGHS at this rhetorical question! /

 

Treeflower gets into the shower and says: "You know the ONLY reason they're only going to film ME and NOT Angelica is?! I'm a BEAVER! I'm naked anyways, so of COURSE they're going to focus on me!" Marlene says: "No harm is going to FALL on you! I'm STANDING guard! If ANYONE wants to get to you, they HAVE to go through me! So just relax, think happy thoughts, and let the shower WASH your troubles away!" Treeflower sighs in relief and says: "Marlene, you're a saint. And I truly appreciate what you're doing for me." Marlene says: "Good karma is ALWAYS its own reward!" / Spongebob pulls the other Boom Vets together and says: "Who are we going to get to go after Angelica?" Susie says: "It's got to be Haggis! He was around when Psycho ORIGINALLY came out, and I mean the ORIGINAL Psycho, not the inferior 1998 re-make!" Haggis asks: "Do you guys ALWAYS make cracks about MY age?!" Otto answers: "Only when it's FUNNY!!!!" Haggis shrugs and says: "Fair enough. And I DO have the ACTING experience! Norman Ates was originally going to be MY part until Anthony Perkins stole it from me; the upstart!" Susie says: "It's settled then! Haggis, do what you do BEST!" Haggis says: "I always do!" (Confessional)

 

Haggis says: "Youth is NOT the most important factor in acting, experience is! And if there's anything I have a LOT of, it's experience!" / Spongebob says: "If Haggis pulls this off, we'll win the challenge! The only question is, which two contestants will we SEND on the spa trip? I'd volunteer, but I don't want to go without Sandy. I guess SOMEONE has to go!" (End Confessional) The Network Noobs are all gathered together, and Darwin asks: "Who's going to go after Treeflower?" Pearl says: "Larry, you're big, you're strong, you're pretty intimidating. Think you'd be willing to scare the fur off of Treeflower?" Larry says: "Ordinarily, I wouldn't be up for scaring a female. But as far as I'm concerned, Treeflower is NO lady! I dislike her as much as everyone else here!" Patrick says: "You are truly selfless and noble. If I had a hat, I'd tip it off to you." (Confessional) Larry says: "Some people think that because I was adopted by two elderly fish, that I wasn't raised right. But let me tell you, adopted parents can be just as warm and caring as real parents. They taught me that I shouldn't scare a female unless its for a very good reason. And Treeflower has given me ENOUGH good reasons to scare a LIFE time out of HER!" (End Confessional) Gerald looks around and asks: "Say, has ANYONE seen Skipper?!" Dog asks: "You mean the penguin guy? No!"

 

And unknown to the Network Noobs, an EVIL presence is SECRETLY spying on them through the window; General Barracuda! (Confessional) General Barracuda says: "What IS it with me appearing so late in these EPISODES?! If I didn't NEED the money to further fund my evil ends; I'd CRUSH those pathetic PEONS skulls into JAM for my TOAST! But I'll show Larry! He won't GET the chance to scare Treeflower, I'm going to STOP him and COST him the challenge! That will show him the PRICE of his DEFIANCE! Revenge is a dish best served COLD!!!!" (End Confessional) Larry walks up to one of the motel room entrances, knocks and says: "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." But nobody answers, so Larry asks: "Not by the hair of your chinny chin-chin? Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll BLOW your HOUSE in!!!!" And Larry breaks down the door with his claws, forming a hole in it! Than he STICKS his head through the hole and says: "Here's LARRY!!!!" But General Barracuda GRABS Larry once he sticks his head in, throws him to the ground and says: "You should know BETTER than to mess around with ME!" Larry says: "General Barracuda; how DARE you interfere with THIS challenge?!" The evil fish chuckles, and General Barracuda says: "It's my job! I plan on getting paid very HANDSOMELY once I deal with you and the OTHER twerps!"

 

Larry says: "Tough TALK coming from someone who's going to be out-numbered when everyone else surrounds you!" General Barracuda says: "That's the POINT! They CAN'T! I locked them inside of THEIR motel rooms, with NO way to get OUT, and it will take Cosmo MINUTES to figure out the right KEY combination to the door! By that TIME, you'll be DEAD!!!!" Larry says: "Do you think it will be THAT easy to get RID of me?!" General Barracuda says: "You still have a way to get out of this alive. I want the prize money, you want the prize money; so I'll make this SIMPLE!!!! I'll split the money with you, 50/50! You CAN'T get a better offer than that!" Larry gets a serious look on his face and says: "You CAN'T bribe me! And you won't be getting ANY money if I show Sniz that DVD evidence I've been making that FEATURES you!" General Barracuda fumes, stomps his feet and says: "FINE!!!! I TRIED being REASONABLE with you, but you FORCE me to take EXTREME measures!" Larry says: "It's time for you to put up! Let's see if you're really AS strong as you CLAIM to be!" And an epic fight begins to take place between Larry and General Barracuda! Despite the evil fish coming in hard and fast, not hesitating on heavy blows, Larry holds his own against the evil fish, parrying and blocking his every effort! And Larry proves to be as able to dish out punches as well as block them!

 

Little by little, Larry WEAKENS the evil fish, and pushes him back, Larry wrestles General Barracuda down to the ground and grabs a hold of his left leg! And Larry pulls his leg back HARD! General Barracuda cries out: "My LEG!!!!" Larry says: "Say you'll leave us alone!" General Barracuda says: "Never!" Larry PULLS on his leg harder and says: "Say IT!" General Barracuda says: "Not going to happen!" Larry bends General Barracuda's left leg SO far back, a sickening sound starts to come from it! Larry shouts: "I SWEAR I'll break it if you PUSH me!" General Barracuda slams his hands down and says: "Fine! I'll leave you alone!" Larry relaxs his grip, puts his leg back and says: "Now was THAT so hard for you to do?" But General Barracuda gets a malicious look on his face, TRIPS Larry, then jumps up and pins LARRY down! General Barracuda laughs evilly and says: "Did you REALLY believe I would EVER leave ANY of you alone?! I was LYING!!!! DUH!!!! Now my only dilemma is whether to finish you off quickly, or to do it PAINFULLY slow; but you CAN'T make a lobster QUICHE, without BREAKING a few LEGS!!!!" Larry DOESN'T give up however, and grabs a HOLD of General Barracuda's neck with his pincers, despite General Barracuda suddenly putting HIS arms around Larry's neck! Larry strains and says: "Guess it's a game of endurance NOW!"

 

General Barracuda strains and says: "Do you THINK you can KILL me?!" Larry strains and says: "If I can AVOID it, I won't HAVE to! Sniz can find a punishment SO much WORSE than mere DEATH can bring you! Like getting you into TROUBLE with Master Coelaceanth!" General Barracuda suddenly jumps back and shouts: "NO!!!! Master Coelaceanth is STILL alive?!" Larry gets a smug look on his face and says: "Didn't you know? I thought you knew all about how Master Coelaceanth had a clone system set up, in case anything happened to him." General Barracuda actually gets SCARED and says: "I thought SPONGEBOB was just making that up! I have to make SURE he doesn't KNOW!" And General Barracuda jumps out the window, causing Larry to pause and ask: "What was THAT all about?" (Confessional) General Barracuda is trembling and says: "The one thing I FEAR; is facing up to Master Coelaceanth! If he's been watching this, he KNOWS that I haven't SUCCEEDED in taking out Spongebob and the others! He will know that I've been failing and LYING! And if there's one thing Master Coelaceanth DOESN'T tolerate, it's FAILING and LYING about failing! I'll have to step up my game; or be forced to endure the WRATH of Master Coelaceanth!" (End Confessional) Larry wipes his claws clean and says: "So much for him. Time to scare Treeflower!"

 

But then a blood-curdling SCREAM comes from the shower, and it comes from Treeflower! Marlene rushes into where Larry is and says: "WAIT! If you're out HERE; who's in THERE?!" / A little bit earlier, in the shower, for some reason, the scene is in black and white. Treeflower is using soap and shampoo, minding her own business, when suddenly, a window BREAKS; and Skipper jumps in and says: "You bad beaver! Die, die, DIE!!!!" And although Skipper motions at her with a knife made of rubber, the knife is never actually SEEN hitting Treeflower! But Treeflower still passes out from the experience anyways, as the shampoo she uses EERILY flows down the drain! The scene switches back to color and Sniz says: "CUT!!!! That was NOT what you were supposed to do Skipper, you BROKE the rules!" Skipper says: "I thought the rule WAS to create suspense! You know, that was SUPPOSED to win us the challenge!" Sniz says: "The rule was that LARRY or HAGGIS was supposed to do the scaring. But because you took it upon yourself to scare Treeflower instead, you broke the RULES of this movie! Therefore, the Network Noobs FORFEIT this challenge, which means that the Boom Vets win WITHOUT having to do the third part of this challenge, which actually suits us just fine. It was just going to be a mixture of Vertigo and The Birds anyways."

 

Treeflower gives Marlene a dirty look and Marlene protests: "How was I SUPPOSED to know that Skipper was going to USE the window?!" Skipper gets sad and says: "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to break the rules! I just wanted to HELP you!" Larry says: "Well, your 'HELPING' just got you eliminated!" Sniz says: "Larry's right, by breaking the rules, you have earned yourself an AUTOMATIC elimination! No Silver Sniz Ceremony; do not pass go, do not collect $1.5 million in cold, hard cash!" And Sniz snaps his fingers, suddenly summoning Bada and Bing from The Penguins of Madagascar to take Skipper to the Limo of Losers! Skipper says: "Wait! Don't I at LEAST get a Final Meal?!" Sniz says: "Sorry, Skipper; but last night WAS your final meal, here!" And Bada and Bing HURL Skipper into the Limo of Losers, and as it drives away, Skipper shouts: "Marlene! AVENGE ME!!!!" Marlene fumes, screams and says: "Why does this kind of THING keep HAPPENING to ME?!!!" Treeflower mocks Marlene and says: "Why does this kind of thing keep happening to ME?!" Than Treeflower gets serious and says: "Seriously, that's what YOU sound like! Has anyone ever told you that you sound EXACTLY like that Vancome Lady who was on MadTV?!"

 

(Confessional) Marlene is still fuming and says: "Treeflower has the NERVE to pull THAT stunt on ME?! And furthermore, the Vancome Lady was a fictional CHARACTER, played by Nicole Sullivan! I didn't even do anything WRONG to Treeflower this TIME!!!! Is it a SIN to be too BEAUTIFUL?!!! That Treeflower Fields, I can't STAND HER!!!!" (End Confessional) Marlene is still pounding the ground in frustration, but Sniz ignores this and says: "Boom Vets, as the winners of this challenge, you have the choice to pick two of your own to go on a spa trip! Now, take your time to pick your candidates--" But Reggie suddenly busts out and BAWLS: "AHHH!!!! AHHH, AHHH!!!! I'm just SO emotional! Marlene JUST lost her soul-mate, Angelica is STILL in the game, and I'm just thinking on how Sandy sacrificed herself to keep Stimpy and Spongebob safe! All this emotion is TUGGING at my heart strings!" (Confessional) Lil says: "Wow! I didn't know Reggie had THOSE kinds of feelings! Or if she did, she was too tough to ever let them out! Just goes to show you that some people are full of surprises!" / Otto gets shocked and says: "Wow! I can't REMEMBER the last time my sister cried! If there's one thing that gets me, it's seeing my sister cry like that. I can't let Reggie be sad. I can always find something else nice to do with Suzie." / Suzie says: "My vote; Reggie and Rocko!" (End Confessional)

 

Spongebob says: "All in favor of Reggie and Rocko?" All of the other Boom Vets raise their hands and say: "Yes!" Sniz says: "As an extra bonus Reggie, your friend Sam is on board the Limosine, and will accompany you both on your trip to the luxurious hotel and spa." Reggie sniffles and says: "Thank you SO much! It means a LOT to me!" And as Reggie and Rocko get on board the fancy limosine, with Sam already inside, Spongebob waves and says: "Good-bye, Reggie and Rocko! See you in three days!" Reggie is still sniffling and Rocko says: "Relax Reggie, is over!" Sam says: "This is the most emotional I've ever seen you! You've NEVER cried like this, not even when Twister lost his puppy!" Reggie suddenly STOPS crying and starts laughing! Reggie says: "Who said anything about crying?! If THOSE idiots aren't going to help ME take down Angelica Pickles, than I'm claiming my OWN reward; time off AND spending it with my wallaby man!" Rocko gets a stunned look and says: "You FAKE cried to WIN this award?! Are you sure this is a GOOD thing for us?!" Reggie says: "It's not like we're HURTING anybody by doing this?! And who else is going to know?! Personally, I am SO glad that I get to spend three DAYS away from Total Cartoon Pain In My Behind!" And the action switches to Sniz watching the action on a remote monitor.

 

Sniz says: "Wow! That was some JUICY behind the scenes information! I REALLY hope this information doesn't come BACK to bite Reggie in the BUTT...say in about, three episodes or so from now! We'll just have to wait and see what twists and turns wait on the next episode of Total Cartoon Action!" / Episode Notes: Skipper is automatically eliminated this episode for breaking the rules and attacking Treeflower when he wasn't supposed to. Running gags in this episode; someone MOCKING someone else, than saying, "Seriously, that's what you sound like!"; someone asking why someone else won't share some information, and upon finding out that the reason is that the other person doesn't like them, they say, "Fair enough." Although this episode was a planned three part challenge, only the first two parts are shown due to Skipper breaking the rules in the second part of the challenge. General Barracuda finds out that his superior, Master Coelaceanth, is indeed ALIVE, and is scared of his superior finding out about General Barracuda's lack of success. Angelica Pickles gets a new wig in this episode, that makes her look like Pearl. / That's it for this episode of "Total Cartoon Action!" I'll see you for the next one! / Enough said, true believers!

[Hayden]

I guess I'm pulling for Marlene now.

 

Way to incorporate that shipping in.

[4EverGreen]

I guess I'm pulling for Marlene now.

Way to incorporate that shipping in.

No need to worry about Marlene; she has a LONG game ahead of her. And thank you, I try to incorporate shipping whenever possible. Now it's time for a brand NEW episode with a BRAND new theme! / "Nobody Inspects the Spanish Acquisition!"

 

Sniz is in the Control Room full of monitors and says: "Last time on Total Cartoon Action, we paid tribute to the great master of suspense movies, Alfred Hitchcock! First, I was disappointed by how FEW contestants actually even KNEW of his existence! Then, the two teams proceeded on a challenge WORTHY of the great master himself! Treeflower's efforts to a be a sheep shearing smuggler were SABOTAGED, by no other than master spy saboteur, Skipper himself! But as it turns out, he should NOT have gone after her! Because Skipper didn't follow the rules, it allowed Marlene to score a challenge win for the Boom Vets. For the second part of the challenge, Larry was all set to scare the daylights out of Treeflower, but was instead thwarted by our own General Barracuda! The fight was evenly matched, until Larry revealed to General Barracuda that his superior, Master Coelaceanth, was STILL alive, and it freaked him OUT! Never thought I'd see the day when HORATIO got scared! But in the end, it ended up that Skipper unintentionally doomed HIMSELF to an elimination, by breaking the rules! By attacking Treeflower when he wasn't supposed to, his team forfeited the challenge, and Skipper was sentenced into an AUTOMATIC elimination, which really SUCKED for Marlene! Now it's time for a NEW challenge, a SPANISH themed challenge with an EXOTIC theme!"

 

Fondue walks in and says: "That's right! Because if there's one thing our contestants will NEVER expect; is to INSPECT our Spanish Acquisition!" Sniz says: "Who will be running with the bulls? Who will make a CHEESY Spanish Soap Opera? Who will be a victim of the Inquisition?! All of these questions and more will be answered on TODAY'S episode of Total Cartoon Action!" / The filming opens up inside the Boom Vets trailer, and it shows Marlene is dreaming. The Fairy Godparents show us the dream Marlene is having. Marlene is running inside what APPEARS to be the Monterey Bay Aquarium of Monterey, CA, and she is frantically yelling! Marlene shouts: "Skipper! Skipper, Skipper?! Where are you?! I can't get through this without you!" Than a rippling effect happens in one of the Water Tanks, and a representation of Skipper's face appears! The Skipper face speaks and says: "You CAN get through this Marlene, you MUST! I have NEVER known you to back down from anything EVER! If you let Treeflower trap you now, you're already admiting defeat! You are going to be stronger than she is! You CAN and you WILL take her down, I'm NOT giving up on you!" Marlene asks: "But how am I supposed to STOP her?! The LAST two plans BACKFIRED!" The Skipper face says: "It's a numbers game! Her dumb luck HAS to run out against her SOONER or LATER!"

 

Marlene asks: "But how can I come up with a plan to get rid of her?!" The Skipper face answers: "That, you'll have to figure out on your own. I'm afraid that as of right now, I can only POINT you in the right direction!" And the Skipper face ripples away and Marlene says: "Skipper! Please don't go!" In reality, Stimpy asks: "Go where?" And Marlene suddenly SNAPS awake! Marlene says: "I just had a vision, Stimpy! Skipper was trying to contact me!" Stimpy asks: "Really? What did he say?" Marlene says: "He was telling me that I AM able to get through this game, and not to back down! The trouble is, I need to come up with a plan to get rid of Treeflower, and I don't have one!" Stimpy says: "How quickly you seem to forget, I am in an alliance with you; remember?!" (Flashback) Marlene asks: "You're REALLY willing to help me?" Stimpy answers: "Anything for milady." In the Confessional, Marlene says: "As potentially annoying as hanging out with Stimpy can be, his willingness to help me will make for an easy to persuade alliance member. And right now, milady needs all the help she can get!" (End Flashback) Marlene gets an epiphany and says: "Right! You DID promise to help me out, didn't you?!" Stimpy says: "My offer still stands, if you want it!" Marlene jumps up and shouts: "This is PERFECT!!!!" Than she quickly quiets down, realizing Treeflower is in the trailer still sleeping!

 

Marlene says quietly: "Or rather, this WOULD be perfect if Little Miss Can't Be Wrong weren't in here with us! But at the very least, there is ONE way to get rid of HER!" Stimpy asks: "What's that?" Marlene answers: "Sheer numbers! All I have to do is to get the majority against her! And with the way SHE'S been acting, that shouldn't be too hard!" Stimpy says: "A good plan, but it's kind of risky. Right now, we have a number's advantage against the Network Noobs. Taking out Treeflower could hinder our ability to overwhelm them." Marlene says: "You want to talk about numbers? Than think of it THIS way, she's like MINUS one contestant on our team anyways! Her inability to focus on ANYBODY but herself and Norbert is going to drag us DOWN!" Stinky floats out of Stimpy's ear and says: "You know Dad, I kind of agree with her." Stimpy sighs and says: "You're right, Marlene. Treeflower IS a detriment to ALL of us; I'll try to help you get rid of her, but we CAN'T be too obvious about it! You don't want her to discover a plot against her a THIRD time, do you?!" Marlene says: "Personally, I've had ALL the disappointments I can TAKE for this season!" Stimpy says: "In that case, we'll play it cool, but we'll play it smart. Just don't do ANYTHING to attract unwelcome attention from Treeflower! In the meantime, I'll do what I can to draw her fire." Marlene asks: "Do you really think you can?"

 

Stimpy answers: "My advantage is that I'm popular with my team. I have more drawing power than Treeflower does, she can't compete with that! I just got to win us a majority, and we'll take her out at the next vote-off!" Marlene hugs Stimpy and says: "You are SO insightful! I knew I could count on you!" (Confessional) Marlene says: "It seems as though I DO have friends in high places; and I can't get any higher than Stimpy! With the most POPULAR Nicktoon on the show helping ME out, its only a matter of TIME before I get Treeflower out of the game! As far as I'm concerned, things can ONLY get better for ME, now!" / Stimpy says: "So now my alliance with Marlene is official. I'm taking a big risk here, making a move like this; but I consider Marlene to be a friend! And friends help friends out! Treeflower on the other hand, hasn't been much of a friend to me, Marlene, or ANYONE here this season! Friends don't act the way Treeflower has been acting! Of course, friends don't act the way I acted when I broke up with Ren." Stinky says: "Nobody thinks of that as YOUR fault, Dad." Stimpy says: "But I still played a part in it. I wish Ren was here, so I could apologize to him right now. No amount of money in the world is worth losing your best friend over it!"

 

(End Confessional) At 6 A.M., Sniz rolls up in his Aston Martin, and by pushing his car horn, the unmistakable sound of "La Cucaracha," begins playing! Susie wakes up and says: "UGHH!!!! Who ordered the Mexican Hat Dance?!" Otto says: "It wasn't me, that's for sure!" Haggis says: "I'm getting too old to be put through such agonies as this! Why is $1.5 million so appealing anyways?!" Lil says: "You could think up of 1.5 million ways to spend it!" Spongebob says: "True. Putting up with this isn't so bad when you look at the BIG picture!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "I still don't know how I'm going to get rid of Larry, but with every challenge that brings us closer to the team merge, it's going to get me closer to finding a way to bring Larry down! Larry may have gotten rid of Sandy, but I'm going to defend and restore her honor! Larry is going to find that a fight against me is going to be the HARDEST fight of his life!" (End Confessional) The Boom Vets and Network Noobs are all dressed, and they all walk out of their trailers. Angelica says: "What a GLORIOUS new wig day to show off my GLORIOUS new wig!" Pearl says: "Are you EVER going to shut up about that?!" Angelica rolls her eyes and says: "You WISH you looked this good!" Pearl says: "Your WIG looks EXACTLY the same as MY real hair!" Angelica scoffs and says: "Maybe, but I WEAR it better!"

 

Pearl adds: "In your DREAMS!" Angelica fumes and says: "Why, I OUGHT to--!" Larry says: "Ladies! Don't FIGHT amongst yourselves! Save the fighting for where its really NEEDED, against the Boom Vets!" Gerald says: "Heaven knows we sure need the team effort! Our team is down in NUMBERS compared to the Boom Vets!" (Confessional) Gerald says: "I am REALLY nervous right now, okay?! With Skipper gone, it makes me the LAST member of the Network Noobs to NOT be in Larry's alliance! But I don't WANT to align with him, even if it meant saving my own skin! I have principles, and those principles DON'T involve ME teaming up with someone I don't like! I can only hope that Larry's alliance starts fighting amongst themselves, and they pick each other off!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Good morning, contestants! First off, let us welcome back Reggie Rocket and Rocko, fully rested and recovered thanks to their motel spa trip!" Rocko and Reggie get off the limo, and Reggie looks simply STUNNING! Dog says: "To quote Bananarama, she's got it!" Reggie says: "I had a LOVELY time on my vacation, I'm so glad that YOU weren't there, Angelica!!!!" And Angelica STEAMS at this comment! (Confessional)

 

Angelica says: "How DARE Reggie insult ME like that?! I don't care if she's well-liked, or POPULAR; I'll get even with her if its the LAST thing I ever DO!" / Reggie says: "Insulting Angelica is SO easy, it shouldn't be funny; and yet it is! I just LOVE taking THAT girl down a notch!" / Rocko says: "I just LOVE seeing Reggie take Angelica down a notch!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Now that everyone is here, it's time to reveal today's theme! We're going to be doing Spanish themed movies!" Larry asks: "A WHOLE episode of talking in SUBTITLES?! There's a ratings killer!" Sniz says: "Not to worry! Only ONE part of the challenge will feature sub-titles! The rest will feature action direct from the magnificent culture and country that Spain represents!" Otto scoffs and says: "Yeah, like Spanish Missionaries Christianizing THOUSANDS of Native Americans against their WILL!!!!" And everyone gives Otto an awkward stare. Otto says: "WHAT?! Too SOON?!" Reggie says: "No, I'm just surprised that you made such an accurate observation!" Otto says: "I know stuff! It doesn't mean I have to let our DAD know about it! If I keep his expectations about my knowledge low, I can in turn get away with more!" Reggie says: "You're smarter than you look!" Otto says: "I have to be!" Sniz says: "Not to worry; we're only focusing on GOOD Spanish culture aspects in this challenge; MOSTLY!"

 

(Confessional) Dog says: "I hate it when Sniz adds stuff like 'MOSTLY' to the end of his sentences; it makes me worried about what hidden subtext Sniz has planned for the challenge!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "In case you're wondering about any hidden subtext, here it is. This is another three-part challenge, not that three-part challenges are the only challenges we can come up, they're just the EASIEST to come up with! First off, you will be in Pamplona's Running of the Bulls! All you have to do is run through and survive the BIGGEST bull stampede in all of Spain! Whichever team gets more members to the end by the time the amount of time for the challenge runs out, will win. The second part of the challenge, will pay tribute to the Spanish Soap Opera; subtitles required AND included! The third and final part of the challenge is a SPECIAL surprise! Let's just say that Mel Brooks came up with the idea FIRST!" (Confessional) Darwin says: "Mel Brooks came up with the idea first? I know he came up with SEVERAL ideas; but which one is Sniz talking about? I feel like I should KNOW this, but I can't put my opposable thumbs on it! If only I knew the HISTORY of Mel Brooks' movies as well as I do the History of the World!" / Craig says: "We're going to be running with the bulls? I can show everyone how fast I can run! Not only can I run as fast as a horse, Larry once told me that I even LOOK like a horse! He's so...(realizes that Larry might have been insulting him, and uncertainly says)...great?" (End Confessional)

 

Sniz says: "Things are going to get exotically Spanish on this show, right after we take a break for these IMPORTANT commercial announcements!" Fondue says: "I HATE commercial announcements!" Sniz says: "But we DO need them in order to keep our Fairy Godparent interns happy." Fondue says: "That's definitely the truth!" (Commercial Break) / I'll post the rest of this episode later. Enough said, for now!

[4EverGreen]

It's time for the second part of my latest "Total Cartoon Action" episode, "Nobody Inspects the Spanish Acquisition!" / The contestants are standing in front of what looks like a very long, very crowded, Spanish village. Sniz says: "Welcome back to Total Cartoon Action, filming in the BEAUTIFUL Pamplona, Spain! Or a reasonable facsimile thereof! The contestants on both teams must find the quickest way through the village, and race through it to the other end. However, that will be compounded by two things. The first thing is that this challenge is timed. The second thing is that there will be BULLS running through the streets, and they can get a LITTLE testy! But if you can avoid getting trampled and make it to the end before time is up, you'll have a chance to participate in the next part of the challenge." Stimpy says: "See Marlene? We won't have such a hard time with this challenge. It's hard, but at least its not HUMILIATING to our sense of dignity and respect!" Sniz says: "Which reminds us, here's the TWIST! Fondue?!" And Fondue opens up a crate, and throws OUT the Buffalo gear from the Cowboy challenge, onto the contestants! Marlene asks: "What is THIS for?" Sniz says: "You'll have to wear the Buffalo gear as you run through the streets!"

 

Marlene gives Stimpy a dirty look, and Stimpy protests: "How was I SUPPOSED to know about this twist?!" Sniz says: "We would've dressed you up as bulls, except we don't have any bull costumes, and I don't feel like asking Cosmo and Wanda to magically change the bull costumes. It doesn't matter; if the bulls don't try to trample you, they'll try to LOVE you!" (Confessional) Rocko is dressed up in Buffalo gear and says: "My best friend Heffer, a steer, once said that once you're loved by a cattle, you don't EVER try anything else! But how would HE know? He's only ever BEEN on one real date, with an elk named ELKE!!!!" / Treeflower is dressed up in Buffalo gear and says: "No bull better TRY anything funny with ME; I'm OFF the market and SPOKEN for! That's right, Norbert! Nothing's going to take ME away from WINNING the competition for YOU! It's in the bag!" / Marlene is dressed in buffalo gear and says: "I think it's time to let the cat out of the bag! Or rather, let my best CAT friend, Stimpy, BAG an annoying beaver, and have her TAKEN out of the game!" (End Confessional) Marlene pulls Stimpy aside and whispers: "Stimpy, we need to lead Treeflower astray and cause her to lose this challenge!" Stimpy asks: "Is that a good plan?" Marlene says: "Sometimes you have to get rid of the DEAD weight for the good of the team! She's not doing US any favors!"

 

Stimpy says: "No argument there, but I'm not exactly GOOD with lying!" Marlene says: "Luckily, you don't NEED to be! You don't know the fastest way of getting through the village either! You can't lie about what you don't know!" Stimpy says: "That's actually a good point, I think!" (Confessional) Stimpy is dressed in buffalo gear and says: "Ever since Ren got eliminated, I've been trying to develop my own strategizing skills; but it's not as easy as it looks. Up until now, I've been relying on my charm and winning personality to get me through challenges. But I HAVE to step up my game! If I don't stay competitive, I'll get taken out of the game! And it's not like I'm going to miss Treeflower when she's gone!" Stinky adds: "Neither will I, dad." (End Confessional) Stimpy says: "All right, it's time for; Operation Get Rid of Treeflower! Although, I suppose we should try and come up with a more covert name to hide our true goal!" Marlene says: "How about Operation TAKE OUT?" Stimpy's eyes light up and he says: "That is a good one, that is a GOOD one! I've got to remember that one!" Stimpy and Marlene walk back to join the others, and Stimpy says: "We're READY!" Larry rolls his eyes and he says: "Yeah, ready to LOSE!!!!" And Spongebob glares at Larry angrily!

 

(Confessional) Spongebob is dressed in buffalo gear and says: "Larry may have confidence now, but just WAIT until I smoke him in this challenge! He will NEVER see it coming!" / Larry is dressed in buffalo gear and says: "I've got just one thing to SAY to anyone who wants to challenge me; bring it on. If I can beat General Barracuda, I can beat ANYBODY!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "It's time to run as if you're running for your life, because you very well just MIGHT be! Ready; lights, camera, ACTION!" And Sniz pushes a button on a big clock, which starts a 30 minute count-down, as the contestants race off. Sniz says: "Fondue, release the bulls!" And Fondue pulls open a gate, which lets HUNDREDS of bulls out of a bull pen, and they begin running through the streets! / The Network Noobs are slightly ahead and maintaining their lead, until they come to a seven way intersection, with seven different ways to go ahead! Dog asks: "Which way should we go?!" Pearl says: "North is nice, east is least, west is best!" Larry says: "I can't argue with that! I wouldn't know HOW to!" And the Network Noobs proceed down a west-facing intersection. Marlene says: "If the Network Noobs are going to go THAT way, we better go in the OPPOSITE way!"

 

Stimpy asks: "But what if that puts us CLOSER to the goal?" Marlene says: "Well we DON'T know for sure, we NEED Operation TAKE OUT to succeed, BADLY!!!!" Stimpy says: "Treeflower! If you go down the EASTERN corridor, it will be a great SHORT cut to the finish!" Treeflower stops running and says: "Really?!" (Confessional) Treeflower says: "It's about time SOMEONE started helping out the most IMPORTANT member of this team! I mean, SERIOUSLY people!" (End Confessional) Treeflower changes directions and says: "See you LATER, suckers!!!!" Marlene says: "That worked better than I expected!" Stimpy looks behind them and says: "Maybe not!" And the bulls are rushing right TOWARDS them! Reggie says: "Quickly, to the north-west corridor!" And as Stimpy, Marlene, Reggie, and Rocko enter a north-west passage, dozens of bulls ALSO go down the north-west passage, as well as through the eastern corridor that Treeflower entered! / As Rocko and the others are running, Rocko says: "I REALLY hope none of these corridors end up being DEAD ends! Running of the Bulls Day is a VERY dangerous day!" Then suddenly, one of the bulls catches UP to Stimpy, and Stimpy gets pushed down to the ground!

 

Stimpy says: "Don't hurt me; I don't even EAT steak, or Veal! I could NEVER hurt an innocent bull!" As Reggie looks at the bull more closely, she says: "I DON'T think she WANTS to hurt you, she LOVES you!" Stimpy says: "I thought only MALE bulls had horns!" Marlene says: "Maybe it's a genetic mutation, or the work of the Fairy Godparents, they CAN do things like that!" Stimpy says: "But I don't WANT to be loved by a female bull...thing! Stop her before she makes a move with me!" Reggie says: "Are you CRAZY?! You don't get in the way of a bull and their love, that's SUICIDE!" Rocko says: "And I can tell you from personal experience, that cattle are a LOT stronger than they look, and they look pretty strong to start off with!" Stimpy says: "I'm NOT mating with a bovine, especially NOT in front of my son!" Stinky says: "My dad only has feelings for Lil, and possibly, still Ren!" Marlene says: "Than you have to let HER know that!" Stimpy asks: "How?!" Marlene says: "Well, they say music soothes the savage beast, try soothing her!" Stimpy says: "All right, it's not like I've got any better options in mind!" /

 

Hard rocking pop music plays, as Stimpy begins to sing a rocking version of Duran Duran's, "I Don't Want Your Love." / I don't mind, if you're keeping someone else behind. I don't care 'cause you've got something I can share. Hey, take a chance, even if it's only; only while we're dancing in the light of your second sight because when you understand me, you might feel good around me now.

I don't want your love to bring me down, I don't want your love so turn it around. I won't turn you out if you've got someone else, someone else you care about. Because, you must realize my obsessive fascination is in your imagination now, pick it up! I don't want your love to bring me down, I don't want your love, so turn it around. (I don't want your love, I don't want your love.) Your rhythym is the power to move me. It's something you control completely. I don't want your love, so turn it around. I don't want your love, I don't want your love.

I like noise, 'cause I like waking up the house. I can't sit down, I can't shut my mouth. But when you understand me now, you might feel good around me now, pick it up! I don't want your love to bring me down, I don't want your love, I don't want your love. I don't want your love, so turn it around. (I don't want your love, I don't want your love.) Your rhythym is the power to move me. It's something you control completely. I don't want your love, so turn it around. I don't want your love, I don't want your love. I don't want your love to bring me down, I don't want your love, I don't want your love." / Finally, the female bull gets dis-interested, and leaves Stimpy alone! Stimpy gets up and says: "Finally! I NEVER thought I'd be so glad to see a female leave me alone!" Lil jumps in and says: "You're not talking about ME, are you?" Stimpy says: "Of course not! I'm fond of you, I care about you! I'm in SO much love with you, I couldn't leave you if I TRIED!!!!...Not that I HAVE tried, I'm just saying!" (Confessional)

 

Lil says: "I find it odd that something weird happened without ME being there! Am I losing my touch?!" / Stimpy says: "I still haven't told Lil that I still have feelings for Ren. I suppose I'll have to tell her sooner or later, but how do I keep a healthy relationship with my parents, Ren, AND Lil without jeopardizing my own future?! Do you think that OTHERS face crises like this on a daily basis?" Stinky says: "All the time, Dad. All the time." (End Confessional) Marlene says: "We better finish running through this town. I don't want to get to the Finish Line and find Treeflower already THERE!" / Meanwhile, Treeflower is running at a healthy pace and says: "I'm making EXCELLENT time! Of course, it's very WEIRD that nobody else went down THIS corridor with me; I guess they just don't have my NATURAL sense of direction!" But Treeflower's laughter turns into HORROR, when she gets faced with a humongously TALL fence in front of her, and unscalable walls on either side of her! Treeflower screams: "Don't TELL me I took a wrong TURN?!" And then DOZENS of bulls suddenly appear BEHIND Treeflower, causing her to scream again! Treeflower yells: "I ain't your love interest, go away!" But the bulls aren't FOCUSED on Treeflower, they're focused on the RED fence behind her! Treeflower says: "Easy, bulls. Don't LOOK at me like THAT! AHHH!!!!"

 

And all the bulls proceed at full speed past Treeflower, with several HITTING her and stomping their HOOVES on her! (Confessional) Treeflower is in EXTREME pain, and now heavily bandaged, as she weakly breathes and says: "Note to self, red is NOT a good color to be surrounded by while you're in Spain!" (End Confessional) The Network Noobs are STILL running down their corridor, and Gerald says: "We've been RUNNING down this corridor for 15 minutes! How do we know that the other team hasn't already won?" Pearl says: "If the other team had already won, we would KNOW about it!" Darwin says: "You've got a point, there!" Larry spots the Finish Line and says: "There it is!" And as the Network Noobs race toward the Finish Line, most of the Boom Vets finally make it out of THEIR corridors, and see the Network Noobs almost to the finish! Otto slaps his head and says: "NO! We're too LATE!!!!" And Otto is right, as all the Network Noobs cross the finish line first! Sniz stops the giant countdown clock and says: "TIME! The Network Noobs have gotten ALL of their contestants across first!" Patrick says: "And it was MY girl-friend's idea to take the passage that we took!" Haggis says: "Of all the ROTTEN luck!" And the Boom Vets all stare in SHOCK, when a badly BATTERED Treeflower walks in, looking FAR worse for the wear!

 

Susie says: "Treeflower, what happened to you?!" Treeflower wearily says: "Hooves, fur, moos, with a 100% chance of horns!" Otto says: "You look like CRUD on two miles of bad road!" Treeflower says: "You should SEE most of the bulls! I would've turned them into hand-bags, if I knew how to make hand-bags!" Sniz says: "The Network Noobs win the first part of the challenge, and you will have to decide who you want to have representing you in the Spanish Soap Opera part of the challenge! After ANOTHER important commercial announcement!" Fondue says: "The degree of importance may vary for different people." Sniz says: "That's certainly the truth." (Commercial Break) / I'll break here and finish this episode the next time I post. Enough said, for now!

[4EverGreen]

Here's the third and final part of my latest "Total Cartoon Action" episode, "Nobody Inspects the Spanish Acquisition!"/ The contestants (including a still badly battered looking Treeflower), are standing inside what looks like a typical Spanish person's casa, at least one in the upper-middle class. Sniz says: "Welcome back to Total Cartoon Action, you're joining us at the set of a potentially popular Spanish spin-off series subtitled..." and Sniz speaks in Spanish, but it's subtitled in English: ["Beware El Grappledura!"] Treeflower says: "Thank heavens! A challenge I can actually WIN! I KNOW El Grappledura! He would NEVER do ANYTHING to harm me!" But little does Treeflower know, a certain General BARRACUDA is spying on her! (Confessional) General Barracuda says: "Note to self; I've got to make it a point to talk to Sniz, and see about getting on earlier in upcoming episodes. Second, El Grappledura WILL be appearing, but it will not ACTUALLY be El Grappledura; it will be ME in disguise!" And General Barracuda puts on the Mexican Wrestler outfit, that COMPLETELY obscures his identity, and with a convincing Spanish accent, he says: "Treeflower is going to hurt like she has NEVER hurt before!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Here's how it's going to work, two lovely leading ladies from each team must spend ten minutes on the Spanish Soap opera set."

 

Fondue says: "That means Treeflower and Angelica." Treeflower cheers: "YES!" Than she screams: "OUCH! I'm still HURTING from all the trampling those BULLS did!" Angelica says: "If anybody is envious of me, now's the time to say so!" Dog says: "Are you NUTS?! Why if anybody HERE is envious of you, than I'm a mongoose!" Angelica says: "Nice to meet you, Mongoose!" Dog says: "You SO did not just SAY that!" (Confessional) Dog says: "Seriously, I don't know why Larry puts UP with her! She's rude, annoying, she thinks only of herself, and she doesn't even deserve to BE here this season! I would love to know why it is that Larry seems to tolerate her!" / Larry says: "Why do I tolerate Angelica? Easy, she makes for a good lightning rod to draw any negative attention away from ME, to her! She's the perfect distraction, and any distraction that helps me get closer to the team merge AND to winning is a welcome distraction to me!" / Angelica says: "I AM a lovely lady, my contract strictly stipulates that people should SAY so; and any one who DOESN'T, is just feeling what Nick Jonas would like to call, Jealous!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Boom Vets, you need this win to stay in the game. So the pressure is on YOU, Treeflower!" Treeflower asks: "What pressure? This will be easier than ordering TAKE-OUT from Taco Bell!" Stimpy says: "Or so YOU believe!"

 

Marlene screams: "What is THAT supposed to MEAN?!" Otto mocks her and says: "What is THAT supposed to mean?" Than he gets serious and says: "Seriously, that's what YOU sound like! Do you honestly even LISTEN to yourself when you TALK?!" (Confessional) Treeflower says: "I've been keeping a mental list on EVERY single irritating LOSER that I need to take DOWN! Right now, Angelica is on the TOP of that list, but Otto's little comment just bumped him up to an UNHEALTHY second!" / Otto says: "Like I'm worried about Treeflower! We lose this challenge, she is SO gonna be the one to go!" Suzie says: "I said it before, and I'll say it again; beaver got to go!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "I hope you brushed up on your Spanish, because no English speaking will be allowed! Lights, camera, action!" And as Sniz claps the clap-board, the film switches to what looks like a grainy, video filmed, BADLY made Spanish soap opera TV show. And the actors say their lines, speaking only in Spanish, but subtitled in English. Treeflower: ["Oh, El Grappledura, the mightiest man in all of Mexico, is coming to take away our chance at our 100 million Peso inheritance!"] Angelica: ["100 million Peso?! That's $1.5 million in American money! Not really."] Treeflower: ["I really hope El Grappledura doesn't come barging through that wall!"]

 

And at that precise moment, General Barracuda, disguised as El Grappledura, comes BARGING through the wall and screams: ["Ole!!!! Kill, kill, kill, KILL!!!!"] Treeflower says: ["That does not sound like El Grappledura!"] And General Barracuda IMMEDIATELY goes for Treeflower, completely ignoring Angelica, as General Barracuda does EVERYTHING he can to squeeze the LIFE out of her, tries to knock her ORGANS out of her, bashes her, SMASHES her, Thrashes her against every BREAKABLE object he can find, and generally pounds Treeflower MERCILESSLY! Angelica nervously says: ["I can clearly see that I'm not needed here."] And Angelica flees and runs off the set. Meanwhile, Treeflower gets hit with EVERY single Spanish item located in the Spanish house, including SEVERAL items that shouldn't even BELONG in a Spanish house, or ANY house for that matter, and all Treeflower can do is scream in pain and anger! Fondue says: ["Someone ELSE should REALLY help Treeflower out."] Sniz says: ["You're right, someone ELSE!"] Treeflower keeps getting BEATEN by General Barracuda, until an alarm bell unexpectedly blares! Sniz says, speaking in English again: "And it's OVER! Treeflower, you've actually managed to last the WHOLE ten minutes! I'm impressed! El Grappledura, thank you for your services, but they are no longer needed!"

 

The disguised General Barracuda, speaking with a Spanish accent says: "But I--" And Sniz pushes a button, which opens a trap door beneath General Barracuda, and he disappears out of sight! (Confessional) Treeflower is dazed and COMPLETELY out of it as she sings: "I've got a lovel-ly bunch of coconuts, there they are, a standing in a row. Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head!" Than she shakes her head and snaps out of it! Treeflower says: "I just had an out of series experience! I don't even CARE about the money anymore! I just want to take my anger OUT on somebody!" / Craig says: "I just got the strangest feeling that a VERY angry and annoying beaver wanted to take their anger OUT on somebody! I hope that they don't get to." (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Treeflower, I DON'T think your face is supposed to BEND like that! Fondue!!" Fondue says: "Yes, Sniz?" Sniz says: "Fit Treeflower with the same kind of face-brace you gave to Norbert so that she can continue on in this game." Fondue says: "Absolutely Sniz!" Treeflower wearily says: "Oh, boy!" / Treeflower wearily walks out of the medical tent as Fondue says: "Now remember, Treeflower; no getting punched, kicked, trampled, tripped, electrocuted, burn, cut, lacerated, maimed, or hurt in any way, shape or form, and you can continue on in this competition!" With her face brace, Treeflower can only speak in a muffled voice by saying: "Don't worry, that's the LAST thing that's going to happen to me!"

 

And as Treeflower walks back to join the others, who should she walk into except MARLENE?! Marlene happily says: "It's such a WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!! Isn't it Treeflower?!" Treeflower, muffled, angrily says: "Ahhh, shut up!" Marlene, feigning sadness says: "Come on! Don't you want to talk about the WONDERFUL, happy day you've been HAVING?!" Treeflower, muffled, but shouting as loud as she can, screams: "My day?! I'll tell you how MY day's been; awful, terrible, horrible, it's been the WORST day EVER! I've been banged up, bashed up, smashed up, crashed up; it's RIDICULOUS!" Treeflower fights HARD to supress a chuckle as she says: "Treeflower, you've got something on your face." Treeflower, muffled, tries to scream: "I know I have! It's keeping my upper lip STIFF! Fondue says that I have to keep my upper lip STIFF; so I'm keeping it STIFF!!!!" Marlene scoffs and says: "Sheesh! And I thought NORBERT had PROBLEMS!" (Confessional) Treeflower, still heavily bandaged and wearing the face brace says: "Today cannot POSSIBLY get ANY worse!" / Marlene says: "I hope Treeflower just said that today cannot possibly get any worse; because guess what, it's GONNA get worse...for YOU!" (End Confessional) The contestants are now standing outside what looks like a large, circa 1489 Spanish castle. Darwin says: "Hmmm, this seems VERY familiar!"

 

Sniz says: "It's time for the LAST part of the challenge, enduring the many forms of the Spanish TORTURE! The Spanish were BRUTAL when it came to converting others in the late 15th century; other religions were not well tolerated! For the last part of the challenge, you will have to endure the pain and suffering for as LONG as possible! Whichever team can keep themselves from SCREAMING, will win today's challenge! The other team will FACE elimination!" Treeflower muffled, angrily says: "I'm not going to SCREAM; you can't make me!" Sniz smugly says: "Oh, WE don't have to! But Jaundissimo Magnifico CAN!!" And Sniz snaps his fingers, summoning the Spanish Fairy! Jaundissimo says: "Did somebody order a steaming Spanish hunk with a side of Sexy?" And Jaundissimo's shirt rips and magically reappears three times. Sniz asks: "Jaundissimo, do you think you can show Treeflower and Angelica why they should RESPECT other cultures, particularly ones that are much OLDER than their own!" Jaundissimo says: "Si. It will not only be my priviledge, it will be my HONOR!" Sniz says: "You hear the man! Get into that Spanish castle, and you will find ALL about what today's SURPRISE is about!"

 

Than it suddenly DAWNS on Darwin what Sniz is talking about! Darwin says: "WAIT!!!! I remember! He's talking about the--!!" Patrick puts his hands over Darwin's mouth and says: "Keep it to yourself! I actually WANT Treeflower gone, to!" (Confessional) Patrick says: "Yes, even the Network Noobs have had enough of Treeflower. If they want to get RID of her, we're going to let them to do so. It's no skin off our noses...at least for those of us that DO have noses!" Craig says: "There are only two contestants I'm not fond of, or that I would miss if they were gone; Treeflower and Angelica!" (End Confessionals) Sniz says: "I've hope you've prepared yourselves mentally, because there is NO turning back! Ready; lights, camera, ACTION!!!!" And as Treeflower and Angelica race inside the castle, the metal fence gate slams SHUT behind them! And the two girls find themselves inside what looks like a mid-evil torture chamber room! Angelica says: "What do the Middle Ages have to do with Spain anyways?" Jaundissimo magically poofs into view and says: "I'll not only TELL you what Spain will offer for you, I will SING it to you, and convert you, with my LEGION of Jaundissimo CLONES!!!!" And Jaundissimo magically poofs a squadron of look-alike Fairies to help him sing! Jaundissimo says: "You have just entered the Spanish Inquisition!" Treeflower screams in horror: "The SPANISH INQUISITION?!!!" Angelica says: "Nobody expects the SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!" /

 

Jaundissimo and his clones begin singing their version of a shortened, modified version of Mel Brooks' "Spanish Inquisition" song, as they begin TORTURING them with all of the tools at their disposal. "The Inquisition (what a show). The Inquisition (here we go). We know you're wishin' that we'd go away. But the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay! "Hey Toquemada, walk this way." "I just got back from the Auto-de-fe." "Auto-de-fe? What's an Auto-de-fe?" "It's what you oughtn't to do but you do anyway."
Will you convert? "No, no, no, no." Will you confess? "No, no, no, no." Will you revert? "No, no, no, no." Will you say yes? "No, no, no, no!" Now I asked in a nice way, I said, "Pretty please." I bent their ears, now I'll work on their knees! "Hey Toquemada, walk this way. We got a little game that you might wanna play, so pull that handle, try your luck." "Who knows, Toq, you might win a buck!" "How we doin', any converts today?" "Not a one, nay, nay, nay." "We flattened their fingers, we branded their buns! Nothing is working! Send in the nuns!" The Inquisition, what a show. The Inquisition, here we go. We know you're wishin' that we'd go away! You'd better change your point of views TODAY! 'Cause the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!" /

 

Finally, Treeflower screams, not in pain, but in anger and says: "Stop, stop, STOP!!!!" Sniz says: "And with that, Treeflower has FINALLY cracked!" Treeflower muffled, says: "I wasn't screaming because I was hurting, I just WANTED them to STOP that STUPID song!" Sniz says: "It matters little to us. Because you screamed, the Network Noobs WIN the challenge!" Gerald says: "Awesome! I'm safe for another EPISODE!" Sniz says: "Boom Vets, I'd like to say you performed today's challenge really well, but that would be a lie. Therefore, I'll see you tonight at the elimination ceremony." (Confessional) Haggis says: "There's no doubt in my mind who needs to be eliminated today, and her name is TREEFLOWER!" / Reggie says: "Since I can't vote for Angelica, getting rid of Treeflower is the next best thing." / Rocko says: "Out of all the contestants on our team, Treeflower is the only one we can afford to lose." / Spongebob says: "I'm just glad I didn't do anything to mess up in today's challenge! Still, there's only one real option available to me; Treeflower!" / Marlene says: "Sorry Treeflower, you're about to be eliminated by a landslide!" / Treeflower muffled, angrily says: "If they DON'T vote with me, I'll SCREAM!!!! I don't CARE if I promised to drop my vendetta against HER, I'm voting off Marlene! Say good-bye to your PRECIOUS alliance and fame, sea otter!" (End Confessional) /

 

The "Silver Sniz" theme triumphantly plays, as Fondue looks all spiff and festive for the occasion, while Sniz still looks exactly like Sniz, which is to say, still completely NAKED! Sniz says: "Okay, despite our advice to take care of herself, Treeflower has INSISTED on trying to stay in the game. We'll just see how THAT works! You know the rules, you have someone you got to vote off. Just pick your favorite loser, and vote accordingly." And everyone pushes down on a button fast, already knowing who they want gone. Sniz grabs a tray of Silver Sniz Awards from Fondue and says: "As I call your name, catch your Silver Sniz Award. The contestant who does not receive a Silver Sniz must immediately walk the Red Carpet of Shame, board the Limosuine of Losers, and leave. That means you're out of the contest, and you can NEVER, come back. And I mean NEVER! Stimpy! Reggie, Rocko, Suzie, Otto, Haggis, Lil, Spongebob! Contestants, there is one, final Silver Sniz Award tonight!" And the spotlight focuses on Marlene and Treeflower, and the both look forward in anticipation. Sniz says: "The Final Silver Sniz Award, goes to..." and the tension builds to an incredible point, until Sniz finally says what everybody has been expecting and says: "MARLENE!!!!" Treeflower screams: "WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

And she screams SO loud, that even the Voted Off contestants in the far-off losers Hotel can HEAR her! Rhonda says: "SHEESH! That girl can SCREAM!!!!" Treeflower shouts: "This is impossible! I DEMAND a RECOUNT!!!!" Sniz says: "All right, Treeflower; Marlene got ONE vote!" Treeflower gets flabbergasted and shouts: "ONE VOTE?!!! If I voted for Marlene...you DID all vote for Marlene like I TOLD you to?!!!" Otto scoffs and says: "Why would we do that?! Threatening to SCREAM at us if we don't vote YOUR way doesn't make us want to vote WITH you; it's actually gives us MORE of a reason to vote you off!" Suzie says: "You're rude, you're insulting, you're condescending, and you don't appreciate ANYTHING that anyone else here does!" Treeflower screams: "AHHH!!!! I've done nothing but let you guys kiss the GROUND I walk upon! I've been nothing but a GODDESS to you peons; and this is the way you THANK ME?!!!" Marlene scoffs and says: "Oh, please! Don't act like this is a GIGANTIC blind-side! I've WANTED to get you out ever since the first DAY I was switched onto this team!" Reggie says: "And quite frankly, we all AGREE with Marlene! We can't afford to have you on the team any longer!"

 

Treeflower desperately says: "Rocko! You'd never let them turn ME out, right?!" Rocko says: "It's already tomorrow in Austrailia, which means you should've been out of here YESTERDAY!!!!" Treeflower tries to put on a sad face and says: "Et tu, Stimpy? Et tu?" Stimpy says: "So long, sayonara, bon voyage, and don't let the door hit you on the way--." Treeflower screams: "Okay, FINE!!!! Go ahead, kick me off! Lose the rest of the GAME, for all I care; FAIL!!!! I warn you Marlene, we're THROUGH!!!! I'm through with ALL of YOU!!!! Good luck trying to win any challenges without me! You're going to be DECIMATED!!!! Because you're all a bunch of ingrateful, stuck-up, STUPID, idiotic, moronic, EVIL back-stabbing LOSERS! And without me, you guys all SU--!!!!" But her voice is stopped as she SLAMS her head against the top of the limosuine door and Treeflower says: "I meant to do THAT!!!!" And she gets in, and the limosuine drives away! (Confessional)

 

Marlene jumps up, shouts, and says: "YES!!!! She's gone! That awful Treeflower is actually GONE!!!! Don't get me wrong, I know the game is far from over, yet. But at least I got ONE major annoyance out of the way. Now I can focus on more important things; taking out Angelica and the rest of the Network Noobs. But tonight, I'm going to relax. I've earned it!" / Stimpy says: "We actually got rid of Treeflower! I'm actually relieved, it feels like a great big, heavy burden has been lifted off of our team. Of course, I'll feel even more relieved once I talk about my true feelings about stuff with Lil. All I need is the right place, the right time, and everything will be set." Stinky says: "Do you really believe that things will run more smoothly afterwards?" Stimpy says: "I believe so, Stinky. I believe so." (End Confessional) Sniz says: "And so ends the run of Treeflower, and the run of The Angry Beavers representing their show. Tune in next time for another dramatic episode of Total Cartoon Action!" /

 

Episode Notes: Treeflower is FINALLY voted off in this episode, and all the representatives from "The Angry Beavers" have now been voted out of the game show. A running gag in this episode is that Treeflower keeps getting hurt by various things that happen to her. Featured songs in this episode, is Stimpy singing Duran Duran's "I Don't Want Your Love," and Jaundissimo Magnifico and a bunch of magical Fairy clones singing a shortened, modified form of Mel Brooks' "The Spanish Inquisition" song. In a bit of irony, Treeflower's LAST episode ends pretty much the same way Norbert's Last episode did, with the contestant being in extreme PAIN!!!! However, unlike Norbert, Treeflower actually got voted off, making this the FIRST time Treeflower actually HAS been voted out of the competition (her first elimination doesn't count, because Jimmy Neutron rigged the votes against her.) Skipper and Rhonda have cameo voice appearances in this episode. /

Personal Note: I was originally going to have Treeflower last much longer in this show, even making it past the team merge. However, I ended up getting tired of trying to come up with new ways to show off the rivalry between Marlene and Treeflower, and I felt that anything beyond this episode would just wind up with me repeating myself between the points I've already made. By this point, Treeflower had become nothing more than Marlene's rival and another obstacle in the game that needed to be dealt with. This felt like the right time and place to have her voted off (and it felt SO satisfying to actually HAVE her voted off, to!) / Enough said, true believers!

[Hayden]

Glad the Treeflower arc has ended. I can only imagine what you'll make up now.

 

How many Total Cartoon Action episodes will there be?

Glad the Treeflower arc has ended. I can only imagine what you'll make up now.

How many Total Cartoon Action episodes will there be?

I'm glad, to. Soon, I will be focusing on the results of the consequences that will happen due to what Stimpy and Reggie have previously done, and how it will come back to HAUNT them, but first, there's a certain General Barracuda who will FINALLY be exposed to EVERYONE, and you WON'T believe who has to sacrifice his OWN game in order to do it! Not counting the Performance Reviews; there will be OFFICIALLY 30 episodes of "Total Cartoon Action," total. With that out of the way, it's time for me to focus on a GREAT, original, brand new challenge for today's episode! /

 

"Spacehalls!" Instead of the usual show opening, the words "Total Cartoon Action!," followed by the word "Spacehalls!" appears, and Sniz dramatically narrates! Sniz says: "Last time on Total Cartoon Action, we went to Spain! Or a reasonable facsimile thereof! The contestants went running with the bulls; or in Treeflower's case, getting TRAMPLED by them! Next, the contestants had to complete a cheesy Spanish soap opera! That proved to be a LITTLE bit difficult, thanks to General Barracuda disguising himself as El Grappledura! Surprisingly, Treeflower managed to hang in for a WHOLE ten minutes! But Treeflower's game FINALLY came to a SCREAMING end, when Jaundissimo Magnifico FORCED her to listen to the Spanish Inquisition! Yes, even I wanted her GONE by this point! Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long. In what might be one of the most one-SIDED vote-offs EVER, Treeflower found out that her whole TEAM had turned against her, forcing her to walk on the Red Carpet of Shame! Now it's time to take you into the Final Frontier, where a BUNCH of film directors have boldly gone before, to the wonderful world of the sci-fi ACTION flick! And like all good sci-fi action flicks, they come in THREES! Be prepared for our first sci-fi action flick today on Total Cartoon Action!" Sniz adds: "By the way, if you heard what I just said, you don't need a hearing aid!" /

 

Reggie is in her bed, and looks in complete peace. Reggie says: "WOW!!!! I forgot how completely QUIET it can be without Treeflower's severe running of the MOUTH interrupting my beauty sleep every five minutes!" Rocko says: "She didn't talk that much." Reggie asks: "Would you rather want her STILL here?!" Rocko answers: "Of course not! I was just trying to put things in perspective! Although I do think our team is going to run a lot more smoothly without the excess weight. We might just avoid another team elimination all together! At least, until we get to the Team Merge!" (Confessional) Reggie says: "As much as I enjoy the absence of Treeflower, I'd enjoy Angelica's elimination even MORE; even though the only guy I've got helping me right now, is my main wallaby man, Rocko. Wouldn't it be funny if we managed to take out Angelica all by OURSELVES?! Imagine how JEALOUS my brother Otto would be, and how much he would KICK himself for not jumping on my alliance offer when he had the chance!" / Rocko says: "Reggie is happy that Treeflower is gone, and I'm happy that Treeflower is happy. I know Marlene is definitely happy; but being happy at the expense of someone else being MISERABLE, even if they WEREN'T a good person, or a beaver as the case may be, it can NEVER end up causing anything good! It can only end in tears!" (End Confessional)

 

Angelica is busy trying to make herself look beautiful as possible in the Network Noobs' trailer, and Gerald asks: "How often are you going to go through this make-up routine?" Angelica answers: "As often as I want! The day my REAL hair finally grows completely back in, is the day I can STOP wearing STUPID, idiotic blonde wigs!" Gerald says: "You know Angelica, there's something I don't understand about you. Here you are, acting like a stuck-up, spoiled, selfish little brat, alienating anyone who would try to be friendly with you, and making everybody mad at you in the process. Do you think that's going to help you win $1.5 million?" Angelica scoffs and says: "Like I CARE what you think; all that matters is what I THINK!!!!" Gerald says: "Personally, I would THINK you would care a lot! I mean, we ARE the only two humans left on our team! I would think that you would want ALL the help you could get!" Angelica scoffs and says: "I've been OFFERING it, FULLY! I put myself out on the table as accessible for EVERYONE!!!! But no matter what I promise, Larry and everyone else in his alliance AVOIDS it like the Bubonic PLAGUE!!!!" Gerald says: "That's because they are all too wise about what you did the last season."

 

Angelica scoffs and mockingly says: "Boo-hoo, hoo! So I broke a few promises, shattered a few hearts, and even trampled a few alliances; that's what you DO in a game show, so cry me a river, why don't you?!" Gerald says: "You know, you could ALWAYS try getting THROUGH a game show by being NICE!" Angelica scoffs and says: "Why don't YOU get a LIFE; by NOT suggesting THAT?! I'm Angelica PICKLES!!!! I don't do NICE!!!!" Gerald says: "Come on! It could be FUN!" Angelica says: "I don't do FUN, either! I'm on a mission! I am going to get sweet, SWEET revenge on the Boom Vets and anyone else who gets in the way of my quest to obtain what I desire!" Gerald asks: "And once you do, you think that will magically solve ALL the problems that have been plaguing you?" Angelica says: "Exactly!" Gerald says: "Look Angelica, I'm going to do something I probably SHOULDN'T do. If you only take one thing seriously that I say to you, than take this. Revenge is NOT the answer, Angelica. It's not going to change ANYTHING that's already happened to you, and it will NOT make you feel any better if you get it!"

 

Angelica angrily says: "How would YOU know?! Have you EVER gotten revenge?!" Gerald says: "I would never NEED to! I have NO reason to get revenge on anyone!" Angelica quietly says: "All right then, I guess that you should..." than Angelica loudly yells: "SHUT UP!!!! AND LET ME GET MY SWEET, SWEET REVENGE!!!!" Gerald says: "Touchy!" (Confessional) Angelica mocks Gerald and says: "Revenge is not the answer; it's not going to CHANGE anything that's already happened, and it will NOT make me feel any better!" Than Angelica scoffs and says: "What a PRETENTIOUS sack of DOG poo! If Revenge isn't going to make ME happy, than I hope that PATRICK gets struck by LIGHTNING today!" / Patrick says: "That is SO weird! I just got the feeling that SOMEONE on my team just hoped that I would get struck by LIGHTNING in case revenge didn't make THEM happy!" / Gerald shakes his head in frustration and says: "Well, you can't blame a guy for trying to set a girl straight, can you?" (End Confessional) Suddenly, the contestants hear loud LAZER blasts coming from outside their trailers! Suzie screams: "AHHH!!!! It's the alien apocolypse!" Otto says: "We're getting invaded! Close the malls, close the schools, lock up the bunkers! But make sure all my Tony Hawk MERCHANDISE and my trophies SURVIVE!!!!" Sniz announces: "It's NOT an apocolypse!"

 

Spongebob comes out from under the bed and says: "It's not?" Sniz answers: "No! That was just a little wake-up call to let you know about today's theme. And today, we're doing the sci-fi action movie!" Otto says: "That sounds pretty cool, I can do that!" Sniz says: "And don't think that today will be the ONLY day that we're going to do one of these! Because sci-fi movies work BEST when they're in a trilogy of THREE, there will be two MORE sci-fi action movie challenges, that will occur sometime LATER this season! Just a little heads up, to let you know what's coming!" (Confessional)

 

Otto says: "Heads up?! Personally, no amount of 'heads up' can warn me whenever Sniz decides to come along and RUIN my mornings! Not to mention Suzie's! I'm trying to figure out what Suzie LIKES in a man! Does Suzie like the cool, strong, silent type? Or does she prefer a more romantic, open book, kind of guy? I want to make sure I'm making the right move here. I don't want to blow my relationship with her like I probably DID with Angelica!" / Suzie says: "It's nice to know what at least TWO of our future challenges will be. Of course, we don't know WHEN they're going to take place, or if I'm even going to BE there to enjoy them! Still, this information will DEFINITELY be useful to the contestants that DO manage to make it to those challenges!" / Spongebob says: "Looks like today is NOT going to be the day that I get to PROVE to Sandy, that aliens DO exist! But today just MIGHT be the day that I finally get to face off against Larry in a challenge! I've been waiting for a chance to prove myself, and I think that I will FINALLY be able to do it! Nothing is going to SPOIL my plans!" / General Barracuda says: "I'm going to SPOIL that STUPID Sponge's plans! I'm sick and TIRED of always losing to those CREEPS; it's TIME for the HEAVY artillery! If there's one thing I've learned; is that if you want to take out a sponge, it helps if you have NUMBERS!" (End Confessional)

 

The two teams are now in a hanger full of different space ships, INCLUDING the space-ship from the show open that showed Spongebob and Sandy riding in it. Sniz says: "Okeefenokee Swamp Airport! You will NEVER find a more abandoned, more heaven forsaken airport in this! If you do, I wouldn't WANT to visit it! This place has been collecting RUST and flies ever since it was abandoned in the 1950's. But thanks to the magic of the Fairy Godparents, we have revitalized it into a space-port, full of space-ships! Here's how the challenge is going to work today. First, you must rescue a Princess from the nefarious clutches of the evil space armada, whom we have dubbed the Spacehalls!" Darwin suspiciously asked: "SpaceHALLS?! Are you sure that you're not thinking about--." And Pearl quickly covers Darwin's mouth and says: "Nope! SpaceHALLS! We can't get SUED for SpaceHalls!" Sniz says: "Thank you, Pearl. Next, you must travel to the wise sage, in order to learn the importance of--." Craig Mamalton quickly says: "The FORCE?!!! The SCHWARTZ?!!!" Sniz face-palms himself and says: "George Lucas, Mel Brooks, PLEASE forgive me!" Than Sniz seriously says: "No! The ROAST!!!!" Dog says: "Oh, the ROAST!!!! What are we going to Roast?" Sniz says: "Well, you might get ROASTED if you're not careful, THAT'S for sure!"

 

Haggis asks: "And what are we going to do after that?" Sniz answers: "You must fly into the super-secret enemy weapon, find a way to self-destruct it, and get out of dodge before it blows up!" Larry asks: "One problem, how can we fly into a super-secret enemy weapon if its no longer super-secret anymore?" Sniz shouts: "That's NOT the point! What's important is that SOMEONE needs to save the day! Hopefully, somebody who's truly heroic and has SOMEONE that they care about!" (Confessional) Patrick says: "I have someone that I truly care about; Pearl. If she ever got in trouble, I would do whatever I could to save her, even if it meant sacrificing my own game to do so. I hope that it won't have to come to that, but I'm prepared for anything." / Larry says: "I used to have a lady that I cared for; kind of brown, kind of small, kind of strong, and she was some kind of Squirrel. But that's all in the past! Spongebob better not try anything stupid like try to take ME down! If he does, its only going to result in his OWN elimination, which I have no intention of causing, because I don't break my promises!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "In order to get through this challenge, it is essential that you have a guide. All good sci-fi action movies give you a guide. And who better to guide you than previously eliminated contestants?!" Stimpy nervously says: "Contestants?!"

 

Sniz says: "From the show of Ren and Stimpy, he four foot nothing and has a wide range of emotional issues, here's Ren Hoek for the Boom Vets!" Ren Hoek says: "It's great to be back! Even if it's only for this episode!" And Stimpy gulps nervously!

 

(Confessional) Stimpy shockingly says: "No! Ren Hoek?! Did they have to bring back REN Hoek?! This is bad! This is BEYOND bad! I've still been waiting for a good time to tell Lil the truth about how I feel about Ren, and this is NOT a good time in ANY way, shape, or form! The trouble is, I'm not sure if I can keep my lips sealed while I'm around Ren! He has a way of making me be TRUTHFUL around him! And the worst part of it is, trying to conceal my emotions is what CAUSED all this trouble in the FIRST place! How could I get put into such a situation like this?!" Stinky says: "I don't know, Dad. I just don't know." / General Barracuda says: "It's all part of my master plan. I'm going to BREAK down Stimpy's game the same way I broke down REN'S game; by putting him into close proximity with his FORMER best friend, it will CAUSE Stimpy to get NERVOUS!!!!" But General Barracuda doesn't realize that PATRICK has just SNUCK in, and is over-hearing EVERYTHING he is SAYING! General Barracuda says: "When Stimpy gets NERVOUS, he will MESS up; and when he messes up; the results will be DEVASTATING, for his entire TEAM!" / Patrick says: "That EVIL General Barracuda! He's STILL trying to get his way by killing my friends! This is TERRIBLE! I've got to find a way to stop him, for GOOD! If I don't stop him now, who knows what might happen?!" (End Confessional)

 

Sniz says: "For the Network Noobs, your guide is a trained master spy, an expert saboteur, and a professional in wing-based combat! From The Penguins of Madagascar; here's Skipper!" Skipper says: "I'm glad to be back here for a day!" Marlene runs to Skipper and starts kissing him! Marlene says: "Skipper, you're back! I knew you would come back! Sniz could never keep you away!" Skipper says: "Don't get too excited, Marlene. I'm only back for a day." Marlene says: "Still, that's one more day than I ever would've hoped for on this show!" (Confessional) Marlene gets all emotional and says: "Oh, Sniz, THANK you! Thank you for answering my prayer and letting Skipper come back, even if he's only back for the day! I never thought I'd be glad to be on a reality show where anything goes, but now I am! Thank you, Sniz!" / Darwin says: "So they brought Skipper back for a day. I'm not sure what to make of it. Sniz could've picked ANYBODY to be the guides for this challenge, so why bring back Skipper and Ren?" / Sniz says: "I'll tell you why we brought back Skipper and Ren, they both BROKE the rules, so they've got to make it up by being the guides for this challenge! Plus, it will be FUN and FUNNY to see how Stimpy REACTS with Ren!" (End Confessional)

 

Sniz says: "Contestants, it's time for you to gear up and BLAST into outer space! Just pick your favorite space ship, buckle up, and prepare for lift-off!" Sniz adds: "Oh, Pearl, Marlene, we will be needing you to play the Princesses. So run off and wait for the others to rescue you. Don't worry, you'll have PLENTY of chances to do your OWN rescuing later!" Marlene says: "Okay, Sniz!" Pearl says: "I'm game!" And they run off to get changed and to wait to be rescued. Ren asks: "Stimpy, is it all right if I board the same space ship with you?" Stimpy nervously says: "Sure! It's not like I have any romantic issues with you--I mean, LIL!!!!" And Lil looks at Stimpy suspiciously. (Confessional) Lil says: "Okay, what was THAT?!" / Stimpy slaps himself and says: "Oh, STUPID!!!!" (End Confessional) Stimpy and Stinky, Lil, Ren, and Spongebob all get onto the same spaceship that Spongebob rides in during the show open. Otto, Susie, Reggie, Rocko, and Haggis board onto another spaceship. Larry, Patrick, and Craig prepare to board a spaceship, but Patrick says: "Guys, earlier today, I walked into a Confessional and over-heard General Barracuda talking about how he's going to get his revenge against Spongebob and Stimpy." Larry says: "What?! He can't DO that! I made a specific promise to Sandy that no harm would fall upon Spongebob and Stimpy until the team merge!"

 

(Confessional) Larry says: "I HATE being put into this position! It would all be nice and FINE if Spongebob got eliminated out of the game for his OWN stupid reasons but NO!!!! General Barracuda HAS to come in and make things so DIFFICULT!!!! Now I've got to TRY to SAVE Spongebob and Stimpy, lest I should have Sandy RIGHTFULLY hating me for the rest of her life!" / Craig says: "On the one hand, I would love to know why General Barracuda feels such a need to get revenge on Spongebob and anyone who's friends with him! On the other hand, maybe I don't WANT to know! After all, nobody knows General Barracuda's side of the story yet; but if he's THAT desperate for revenge, I can only guess that it was nothing GOOD that caused him to be this way. Villains are NEVER born, they're ALWAYS made!" (End Confessional) Larry says: "All right! Like it or not, I guess we'll have to try and SAVE Spongebob, so I can vote him off when the time comes, and not BEFORE!!!!" Patrick says: "I don't think Spongebob will like it if you save him." Larry says: "He doesn't HAVE to like it! It's not about what HE likes, it's about what's RIGHT! And whether I like it or not, saving Spongebob and Stimpy is what is RIGHT, at this particular challenge!"

 

Patrick says: "You're sure a tough lobster to figure out. You're not at all the big bad, evil lobster I THOUGHT you were at the beginning of this season." Larry says: "Maybe you shouldn't JUDGE others before you get to know them!" (Confessional) Larry says: "I know it might not look like it, but I can get pretty zen and deep when I have to." / Patrick says: "That was so zen and deep. With Larry and Craig helping me, I just might have a shot of saving Spongebob and Stimpy. I can't let General Barracuda have his way!" (End Confessional) Larry, Craig, and Patrick finally board their spaceship, while Skipper, Gerald, Dog, Darwin, and Angelica board another. Sniz says: "One final warning; in space, NOBODY can hear you scream! Ready; lights, camera, ACTION!!!!" And all the spaceships simultaneously blast off at the same time, into the reaches of space...or so it appears, as the action is all being green-screened! Sniz says: "And they're off, in a sense of speaking. Find out if Marlene and Pearl can be rescued from the nefarious clutches of the Spacehalls, when we come back on Total Cartoon Action!" (Commercial Break) / I'll break here and finish the rest of this episode later. / Enough said, for now!
