This week...
Contestants compete in a challenge where they are taken to the forest and must navigate their way to a cemetery, dig and open up a coffin to grab a flashlight from inside and find their way around the forest while racing to the finish line.



SPOILERS ARE NOT TOLERATED. Please, no talks of future episodes, eliminations, and etc! All spoilers must be sent through PM! This talkback is ONLY about this episode and episodes that have already aired on Cartoon Network.

MUTANT MAGGOTS: Anne Maria, Brick, Cameron, Jo, Mike, Zoey

TOXIC RATS: Dawn, Lightning, Sam, Scott

Ah, the obligatory horror challenge! Every season seems to have one!

Also, along came a spider, but this eight-legged freak isn't hungry for curds and whey! It'll take a lot more than rain to wash this spider out!

[Toonster]

I only caught a bit of the episode. It was nice to see an Izzy cameo

I have Direct TV so Ima try and catch it in about three hours and make a review about it.

And so, Scott continues to ensure that his team loses challenge after challenge.

Fortunately, it seems their losing streak has supposedly ended. Thanks to the gifted hero that is video game lover Sam. I think I've grown fond of him ever since the first episode. He can be really clever when he needs to be. He could have listened to Scott's pleads, (I assume he wanted him to give up so they could lose.) but he refused. As a result, the Toxic Rats finally win after a three-episode losing incendium.

Except. Winning this challenge really had no benefit. No one got eliminated from the other team. Reward challenges are kinda pointless overally. But I guess if that means everyone can stay a week longer, than I'm okay with it. And I suppose stealing a team member from the opposing team isn't that bad of a reward. In fact, it's pretty great.

So Brick's on the Toxic Rats now? That evens the teams. And is sure to spark up some stuff between Brick and Jo. As proved by next week's promo.

I'm also quite disappointed with the lack of Dawn this week. Her opening the show and reading the clue before she got Izzy-napped wasn't enough. What an underrated character, like B.

[Gatordragon24]

This episode was hilarious! I did not expect Izzy to be the giant spider. I thought it would be Chef Hatchet (who hasn't said a word since the season started. What's up with that?)

It about time Cameron kicked some butt. For a bubble boy who can be pinned down by a butterfly, he gave that spider a beatdown.

Once again, Mike had some of the funniest parts. Him switching personalities at the drop of a hat always makes me laugh.

Man, Jo is a jerk. She always looks down on everyone, especially Cameron. I hope she gets hurled off soon. Same with Scott. That guy's plan gonna bite him in the butt later on if he keeps it up.

Next week Jo and Brick go up against each other. I'm looking forward to this. Go Brick!

Pretty sure Chef talked during the recap when Chris noticed his "vampire costume". He also sighed when Izzy was shooting at him near the end of the episode. Not really speaking, but still.

[HEATXZ]

Great episode
Nice to have The Toxic Rats win a game but no one from the other team got voted off
My favorite parts are all the Sam scenes,Brick peed his pants,and Izzy cameo XD

[Anthonynotes]

Fun episode, even if oddly nobody was really kicked off. (Which of course means a double-elimination's certainly coming up in the future...)

Still liked Sam's moments (including his post-blown-to-bits-by-the-landmine line). Here's hoping he/what's left of his team catches on to what Scott's up to...

And yes, the Izzy cameo was great... as were some of Cameron's bits ("afraid of Izzy" indeed... ).

On to...

Old-but-amusing cartoon gags

They did the old "character gets bit by a bear trap with no real damange" gag (to Lightning).

Being blown up by land mines is a gag that probably dates a good many decades...probably to when World War II was still fresh on everyone's memories...

Like most modern cartoons, nobody's allowed to use arrows with actual pointy tips anymore (unless you're Green Arrow), though even theatrical cartoons made frequent use of the suction-cup variety. Izzy dressed with a Native American feather headband (or "First Nations" as indigenous peoples are referred to in Canada) might be an even bigger rarity in cartoons nowadays.

Canadianisms

None this week. Though Brick again mentions his Cadet-ness (not that it did him much good vs. the oh-so-big-bad dark ;-) ).

Next week:

More contestants being blown to smithereens, plus some boat-related challenge?

[Toonster]

It was a good episode. Mike wants to be with Zoey, but then his alternate personality Vito pops up and starts making out with Anne Maria, making Zoey jealous of course. I sense a love triangle between the 3... This is also the very first lose for the maggots, Scott tried to make his team lose but he failed. No one in the maggots went home, but Chris made Brick change teams. I really am intrested in whats going to happen with MIke/Zoey/Anne Maria though, Btw I root for Mike and Zoey to be together. Also Chris plunged Dakota today, but he also said that she could swim back to the Island. I hope she does , my favorite couple of the season is Dakota and Sam. Also loved it when we found out that the evil spider was Izzy, it's great to see her back again.. even if she didn't say nothing, atleast we heard her crazy laugh.

This was a good episode, and just like Regular Show and Adventure time, it was better than last weeks ep.

[Bad Asp]

So the Toxic Rats finally win a challenge after a three-episode slump, and who would've thought that Sam the couch potato gamer could be responsible for the victory!

Interesting how Brick volunteered to be the one going home last night... instead, he gets switched over to the other team!

Because no one actually got eliminated, I won't be doing a retrospective for this episode. Maybe next time, perhaps?

REMAINING CONTESTANTS:

TOXIC RATS: Brick, Dawn, Lightning, Sam, Scott

MUTANT MAGGOTS: Anne Maria, Cameron, Jo, Mike, Zoey

9 EPISODES REMAIN!

[FantasyAlchemist]

Since only 9 episodes remain, there's probably going to be a double elimination somewhere along the line.

[TheCtes]

Since only 9 episodes remain, there's probably going to be a double elimination somewhere along the line.

Why? They are 10 left, so in the next 8 episodes someone is eliminated and then there's two left in the last episode / the final.

Well, I don't mean to butt in. But it's not like Chris won't tamper around with the elimination order. He's done it before in past seasons before. A lot actually.

Besides double eliminations, Chris can also turn an elimination challenge into a reward challenge during the elimination ceremony, bring someone back to the game, make team switches (Like this week), spare someone from elimination, and much more.

And let's not forget about that hidden Immunity Idol. As Chris said, that can save someone from elimination. So I think someone may use it and cause no one to be eliminated.

So while your way seems plausible. I can't help but figure that one of the things I listed is going to happen and cause the game to suddenly change.

Well, I'm not really doubting any of that. Just wanted to say that there don't have to be a double-elimination.
