Ch 7 Phobia Factor
The episode opens exactly where the previous episode left off: right after Baby Luigi's elimination. Baby Daisy is still crying uncontrollably at the Dock of Shame due to the elimination of her boyfriend , with only Blaze giving her sympathy and insists that Baby Daisy would want her to be strong and move on without him, something Baby Daisy refuses to accept. Blaze eventually pulls Baby Daisy away, who clings to the dock and manages to break off a plank of wood in the process. When Blaze and Baby return to the Killer Bass by the campfire, they are joined by the Screaming Gophers, who bring some leftovers from their tuck shop party. Although they try to convince the Killer Bass that they are joining them out of kindness, Goombella finally admits that they are there because they can't go back to their cabin since Morton farted in it and they need to air it out. Lemmy brings a green gelatin with a gummy worm inside to Mona , who panics and rejects the dessert. Lemmy then brings it to Koopa trooper, who looks at the jelly and sees the gummy worm in it, then frantically knocks it out of Lemmy's hands, thinking the gummy worm was a snake. After Baby Mario shows to him that it is just a gummy worm and tells him to relax, Koopa trooper apologizes for causing a scene, explaining that he's scared to death of snakes.
Iggy sympathizes with him, revealing that he's scared of chickens. Everyone then starts talking about their greatest fears: Lemmy is scared of being covered in bugs, Zero Suit Samus is afraid of ninjas, and Sapphire Rosalina is scared of sumo wrestlers. Goombella tells everyone that her fear is being buried alive, while Blaze says that her fear is walking through a mine field in high heels. Morton mentions he is terrified of flying, and Boomerang Rosalina admits that she has a similar fear of being in a plane. Roy then explains his fear of hail. After Roy tells his fear, Baby Mario says that he is afraid of being alone in the woods. As Baby Daisy is holding on to the plank of wood, she mentions that she is afraid of bad haircuts. Blaze agrees and changes her mind, stating that this fear was far scarier. Larry then mentions his fear of defusing a time bomb. Mona claims she isn't really afraid of anything, a claim that everyone meets with skepticism. Dark Pit gives the most obscure fear of all; Céline Dion music store standees. After Bowser Jr admits to his fear of mimes, he insists that Mona share her phobia, but Mona firmly asserts that she has none. Dark Pit reminds her of how scared she was when he told his scary story in the last episode, causing her to get snippy with him.
At next morning's breakfast, Luma announces the next challenge is a game he calls "Phobia Factor," where the campers will face their worst fears. Zero Suit Samus questions if it could be worse than the breakfast they were eating. Luma calls Sapphire Rosalina to the theater for sumo, causing Sapphire Rosalina to spit out her drink in Bowser Jr's face. Luma then tells Goombella she's got a date with a few tons of sand . Baby Mario asks how they could possibly know what their fears were and Goombella tries in vain to explain the nature of a "reality show" to the ditsy blond. Luma calls out to Chef Mr.M, asking about a special order for Iggy and Chef passes Iggy a deep fried chicken. Nervously, Iggy bites the head off the chicken shaped food item, only to have the head of a real live chicken pop out, scaring him.
The campers convene outside near a swimming pool full of worms and it's up to Lemmy to take the plunge. Shrugging, Lemmy hops into the pool, submerging herself in the worms (even eating some of them). Gophers lead Daisy and Blaze, having revealed their worst fear being bad haircuts, are brought to the mess hall, while Luma brings two wigs for them to wear. Morton snatches one and tries it on, doing a little ballet dance before tripping and falling over. Luma takes the wig back and plants them on the girls' heads. Boomerang Rosalina and Morton are taken to a yellow airplane that looks like it's on the verge of falling apart, piloted by flight attendant Mr.M. Both scream as the plane flies haphazardly over the island. In the washroom, Zero Suit Samus opens the stall door to see that she is surrounded by three ninjas. Showing no fear, she whips out a pair of nunchucks and starts to spin it around expertly, after which he hits himself on the head and falls unconscious into the toilet (this is counted as a failure). Back outside, Birdo encounters her worst fear, a spider, or more specifically, Chef in a large spider outfit, but she ends up running away screaming. At the theater, Sapphire Rosalina faces off against a sumo wrestler. Too scared to even look at her opponent, Sapphire Rosalina crouches into a ball in fear, accidentally tripping the sumo wrestler and causing him to bounce into the distance, hitting a tree in the process. Gophers lead 2-0.
Baby Mario starts her six hour-long seclusion in the woods around the camp, and while he acts like he can take it, he panics at the sight of a chipmunk at his feet looking up to him, and kicks it all the way to the lake. The camera pans up to the beach, where Goombella is in a Plexiglas box, being buried in sand; she only needs to stay there for five minutes, and Bowser Jr promises he'll stay right there with her, talking to her with a walkie-talkie. The cover of the box closes, and she starts getting buried, starting by blocking out her face with sand. Back at the theater, Koopa trooper is confronted with a small snake and he's terrified of it, especially when it blinks. The other Bass try to egg him on, especially Mona, whose bossy demeanor has her demanding that DJ just pick up the snake. Eventually, Koopa trooper reaches down and picks up the snake, conquering his fear. Bass are down 1-2
With three minutes to go, Goombella is managing her challenge well enough, especially with Bowser Jr talking to her. To pass the time, she asks why he's so scared of mimes. Bowser Jr explains that when he was four years old, he went to the circus with his dad to see the elephants, and he was so busy watching them that he lost his dad in the crowd. Suddenly, a pale-faced mime appeared and started imitating him. He ran, but the mime followed and wouldn't stop doing his routine. All of a sudden, it's Bowser Jr's turn to face his fear; a mime sneaks up from behind and taps him on the shoulder. Frightened, Bowser Jr screams and runs away, dropping his walkie-talkie. Goombella has no idea what happened, but is now faced with enduring her greatest fear alone. Luma then takes Larry to his challenge, defusing a time bomb, which in this case is made out of several garbage cans. Luma tells him he has 10 minutes to defuse it, and hands him a set of blueprints before running away. Bowser Jr continues to face his own fear of mimes. As the mime chases him, they both stop for a moment. Bowser Jr tries to explain to the mime that there is no wall he is touching, and he spots the dock. Back at camp, Dark Pit is faced with a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Céline Dion. Mona tries to gently reassure him, inspiring Dark Pit to run towards the standee and hug it. The Gophers and the Bass are now tied at 2-2. Mona gives Dark Pit a congratulatory hug, but quickly recoils when the heat of the moment wears off.
Bowser Jr is still being chased by the mime, acting as if he is trapped in a box. Bowser Jr makes a run for the Dock of Shame and jumps in the water; when the mime tries to follow, Trent tells him that his makeup will run, so he gives up and leaves. The score is now 3-2, with the Gophers leading.
Back on the beach, Roy is lying in a chair for a nap when a small dark cloud appears overhead and starts pelting him with his worst fear: hail, which Roy described as small, but deadly. When the hail starts falling, Roy runs away screaming, and the miniature hail cloud follows him around; Baby Daisy sees the cloud and thinks it's cute and asks if she could have her own cloud. Bowser Jr is watching Luma control the cloud by remote and asks if it can go lower and pelt him harder. Luma calls Bowser Jr sick, but he gladly agrees. Bowser Jr then asks Luma if he ever feels like he is forgetting something to which Luma replies all the time. Luma then says he's going to bury Roy in hail, which reminds Bowser Jr that he forgot about Goombella. Out in the woods, Baby Mario is holding his own, but still has over four hours to go, and then he hears an explosion. While Luma and Bowser Jr are digging up Goombella, they hear the explosion, and Luma figures that the explosion was Larry blowing himself up, therefore failing his challenge. A seriously-injured and garbage-covered Larry wanders through the woods looking for help, eventually stumbling upon Baby Mario, who is scared away (making him fail his challenge). At the beach, Goombella is alright, and throws the walkie-talkie at Bowser Jr out of anger for abandoning her. The score is now 4-2, with the Gophers leading. Elsewhere, the plane lands, and Boomerang Rosalina and Morton get out, just before the wings fall off; while they conquered their fear, they are glad to be back on land. The score is now 6-2, with the Gophers leading. Baby Daisy and Blaze are in the washroom after wearing the wigs all day, and take them off. They then complement each other on how cute they both look. The score is now 7-3, with the Gophers still leading.
Outside, Iggy is given another chance to face his fear by being placed in a chicken pen for three minutes. Iggy gets in, but quickly ends up in a corner in a fetal position. Mona shouts at him to stop acting like a girl, but Larry points out that the Bass are too far behind to win anyway. Luma then sweetens the pot, saying that the Bass still have one challenge left, and he'll make it worth triple their current score. The last challenge is Mona's and even though she didn't say what her fear was, the tape clearly shows her aversion to green gelatin, which she later says looks like snot. Mona is brought to a green jelly pool, and a diving board; her challenge is to dive in for the tripled points. Mona climbs up to the unusually high diving board, and the Killer Bass try to coax her into jumping, while the Screaming Gophers try to frighten her; while looking down, Courtney decides that she can't go through with it and chickens out, costing the Bass the challenge. While Mona literally beats herself up over losing the challenge, Morton sits in the green jelly, enjoying it.
At the campfire ceremony, Luma is down to the last two marshmallows and the campers who failed to complete their challenge are up for elimination; Baby Mario, Mona and Iggy. Luma gives the next marshmallow to Baby Mario and after a few seconds of drama, the last goes to Mona. Iggy is sent to the Dock of Shame, while his former teammates and Luma (except Mona) taunt him with various bird related puns. While crying on the Boat of Losers, a humiliated Iggy finds himself surrounded by several chickens, which makes him scream.
