Recap: In the last episode, the contestants are dragged over to Toy Town, where they have to invent cool toys with scrap materials. The Leftovers use leftover milk cartons to come up with a floatable toy, Sincere Love uses their flair to come up with a fashionable toy, and Courageous Friendship uses their scamming skills to sell a "toy" which flies off the shelves. Although Reliable Knowledge has the engineering skills, Tommy ends up playing with all the toys, not letting anyone buy them. His immaturity and selfishness sends him out to the Loser Cruiser. "Sharing is caring!"
Sandwiches and Sandcastles
"Hey, where'd you get that?" Marcus pointed to the small keychain toy in Ryo's hand.
"I found it back in Toy Town," Ryo said. "It was just lying on the ground, so I picked it up."
"What is it? Can I see?" Davis looked over Ryo's shoulder.
"It's a Tamagotchi. At least that's what it says above the screen," Ryo shrugged. "Here," he handed the toy to Davis.
"Cool!" Davis said. "How do you work this thing?" he asked as he pressed random buttons. "Aw man! I think it pooped. You can have it back!"
"All you have to do is press this button," Ryo rolled his eyes.
"Ha hah! Ryo's cleaning up poop!" Kazu laughed, which only caused Kenta to laugh along with him.
"Really mature, you guys," Sora shook her head.
"Hmmm, we're back on the beach again," Kouichi scooped up some sand and let it fall through his fingers.
"I never thought I would say this, but I'm so happy we're back here," Koji said.
"Really?" Jeri looked at him in disbelief.
"Because you sure aren't showing it!" her puppet spoke.
"Shut up!" Jeri clamped her hand over her puppet's mouth. The puppet began to move around erratically. "Ow! Rufus bit me!"
Camera Confessions...
"I don't care how adorable Jeri is," Koji crossed his arms. "If she wants to say something, then she should just say it and stop blaming it on the puppet. If it's really the puppet being an asshole, then that's a different story. A story that ends with a chainsaw."
"Alas, we're at the beach but at we're not at the beach," Gennai flashed the contestants a smile.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Yolei said.
"You really need to stop being cryptic," Thomas said.
"Are we on a movie set?" Mimi gasped. "I've always wanted to be an actress!"
"Only you would say that," Matt shook his head.
"No no no!" Gennai yelled. "We're at a beach, but it isn't the same beach we've been at. This is a different beach!"
"Does it matter if we're on a different beach?" Tai said. "All beaches look the same to me."
"Why, it does matter! This beach has nice sand!" Gennai scooped up some sand and threw it in the air.
"What does this have to do with anything, besides proving that we're standing in the middle of a beach?" Izzy grumbled.
"You guys are going to make sandwiches!" Gennai said excitedly.
"Sandwiches?" Rika squinted her eyes. "Is this like some kind of corny joke?"
"Actually, it's a more like a misunderstanding," Gennai pressed his headset closer to his ear. "Turns out the producers want you to make sand sculptures, and the team that does the best will win sandwiches."
"One question," Takato raised his hand.
"What up, Carol Ann?" Gennai said a he looked through his smartphone.
"Carol Ann?" Takato made a confused face.
"Oh, sorry. You just sounded like this lady I knew. Only she wasn't a lady...," Gennai clicked his phone off.
"Here he goes being vague again," Joe sighed.
"Actually, I know what's he's talking about," Kari nodded.
Camera Confessions...
"Yep, my dad was seeing a lady. Only this lady was just a man in women's clothing," Kari said.
"Really?" Tai crossed his arms. "With all of the times you've said that to people, you might as well get a shirt that reads 'My Dad Didn't Know He Slept With A Tranny'!"
"That's not a bad idea..." Kari rubbed her chin. "But I think that's the name Matt's going to use for his new screamo band."
"So what's your question?" Gennai put his phone into his robe.
"Who's gonna make the sandwiches?" Takato meekly rubbed his arm.
"Mrs. Kamiya, of course!" Gennai smiled.
"AAAHHH!" "Are you kidding me?!" "I think I'll just walk out of the show...," everyone screamed.
"No! I was just joking!" Gennai laughed nervously. "Just give me a minute! Okay?" Gennai pulled out a walkie-talkie and began to whisper into it. "Gennai to Red Sock. Gennai to Red Sock. We've got a little situation here. If Mrs. Kamiya makes the sandwiches, all of the contestants will quit the show, and that would suck! Okay. Do it immediately. Good. Our asses are saved!" Gennai clipped his walkie-talkie back on his belt.
"What was that about?" Mimi pointed to Gennai's walkie-talkie.
"Nothing. So where was I?"
"You were going to tell us who's making the sandwiches," Marcus crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"That's right, heh heh!" Gennai petted the back of his head. "They're gonna be from Subway."
"Ooh! We'll finally get some real food!" Joe said.
"Hold up! Who said you guys were going to win?" Marcus gave him a sideways glance.
"Please don't look at me like that," Joe trembled. "You're kinda scaring me..."
"Besides, everyone knows our team's going to win," Zoe flipped her hair.
"Normally, I would want to gouge your eyes out with a spoon, but I'm gonna agree with you on this one," Yolei put her hand on Zoe's shoulder.
"Thanks?" Zoe subtly slid away from Yolei.
Camera Confessions...
"I guess it's never too late for teamwork?" Sora uptalked. "As long as everyone's getting along with each other, I can't really say much about it."
"The rules for this challenge are as follows. The sand sculptures must be finished before sundown. You can choose what to build as your sand sculpture, as long as it doesn't have to be blurred out on TV."
"So does that mean we can't make a penis-shaped sculpture?" Kenta asked.
"Are you sure you're not gay?" Gennai pulled a pamphlet out of his robe. "Your sexual orientation is listed as 'unidentifiable' on your bio page."
"Ha hah! Kenta's probably gay!" Kazu jeered.
"First of all, there's nothing wrong with being gay. My first digimon was gay. And secondly, your sexuality is also listed as 'unidentifiable' so I would shut up if I were you," Gennai gave Kazu a smirk. "So where were we?"
"You were in the middle of explaining the rules. So far, you told us that we have to finish our sand sculpture before sundown and we can make it any shape we want, as long as it doesn't have to be censored," TK recalled.
"Shut your face! I knew what I said!" Gennai growled.
"What the heck?" TK said, stunned by Gennai's reaction. "You just asked us where you left off!"
"Hey," Kouichi consolingly placed his hand on TK's shoulder. "You should know by now that Gennai will hate us, no matter what we do."
"Yep," Kari nodded, watching as TK sighed and slumped his shoulders. "Right, Ryo? Ryo?"
"Shhh! Not now. I'm training my Elecmon," Ryo rapidly pressed a bunch of buttons.
"Okay then," Kouichi shrugged.
"Also, these sand sculptures MUST only be made out of sand," Gennai said.
"Well, duh. What else would a sand sculpture be made out of?" Rika scoffed.
"The execs told me to say that, just in case. You have no idea what some people would do," Gennai shook his head. "And my last rule is that your sand sculpture must be complete when I come to judge it. Since Courageous Friendship won the last challenge, they get to use these tools to help them with this challenge," Gennai pulled out a net full of beach toys.
"Holla!" Matt jumped up in the air in glee.
"Uh, Matt? Don't ever say that again," Tai said.
"Okay," Gennai said. "Since I explained all the rules, start building your sculptures! Go!"
Courageous Friendship...
"Isn't it cool that we got all of these toys?" Davis put a bucket on his head. "I'm Bucket Man!"
"I think you should stick to Goggle Head," Rika struggled to take the bucket out of Davis's head. "What the-it's stuck! Way to go, Davis! Now you just wasted one of our tools!" she kicked his head.
"Owww!" Davis's scream was muffled by the toy bucket.
"Here, let me take care of this," Marcus cracked his knuckles and grabbed Davis's head.
"Please don't punch me! I'm sorry!" Davis panicked.
"Don't worry. I'm not gonna do anything like that," Marcus grabbed Davis by the bucket and lifted him off the ground.
*POP* Davis fell down on the sand. "I couldn't breathe inside that thing! Thanks man!"
"No problem," Marcus said.
"So does anyone have any idea of what we should build?" Takato held up a star-shaped mold.
"I dunno," Matt shrugged.
"Well, that's helpful," Rika rolled her eyes.
"Well I don't see you coming up with any ideas!" Matt yelled.
"You know what?!" Rika snatched the sand mold from Takato's hands and threw it at Matt.
"What would Henry do? What would Henry do?" Takato said to himself as he rubbed his temples.
Camera Confessions:
"I don't think Matt and Rika like each other," Takato looked around nervously. "Which doesn't make much sense, since they both act alike...only Rika's more badass."
"Bob the Builder, can he fix it? Yes he can!" Tai sang as he scooped up sand into a bucket with a shovel.
"What are you doing?" Matt scowled.
"More than you are," Tai scoffed. "Now can you guys help me build a sand castle?"
Hours later...
"Are you sure this is good?" Takato said. "Everyone else has bigger sculptures than us."
"Don't worry, buddy boy!" Marcus slapped Takato on his sunburned back.
"Ow," Takato winced.
"Yeah! Everyone knows we're Gennai's favorite team anyways," Davis grinned.
"Besides, we can just pretend it's a mini village, like we meant for it to be small. Kinda like those teeny little models of German villages that people like to have on display," Tai shrugged.
"Are you sure that's going to work?" Rika eyed him skeptically.
"We've been in this competition for how long, and you still don't know that bullshitting is the way to go?" Matt rested his arm on Rika's shoulder.
"Don't touch me," Rika grunted.
Reliable Knowledge...
"I hate the feeling of sand in my shoes," Joe whined.
"Then take off your shoes, dorkus," Koji muttered.
"Come on, guys!" Thomas yelled. "We need to think of a strategy! We don't have any tools to work with, so we're gonna have to try harder if we want to win this challenge."
"Ugh, I hate to say this, but Thomas is right," Izzy sighed.
"You have a problem with me being right?" Thomas looked over his shoulder at Izzy.
"Yes. In fact, I do," Izzy pushed up his sleeves and held his fists up. "Do you know how annoying it is when people have to be right all the time?"
"You don't want to mess with me," Thomas crossed his arms, amused by Izzy's fighting stance. "Just so you know, I've sent a bunch of Olympian athletes to the hospital."
"For what? Giving them a headache from listening to your arrogant talking?" Izzy said.
"Arrogant, you say?" Thomas raised his eyebrow. "You know what I think?"
"What?" Izzy grunted.
"You're jealous of me," Thomas said.
"What?!" Izzy's jaw dropped.
"It makes a lot of sense," Koji nodded. "You guys are both smart, but Thomas is more fit and better looking, no homo. Izzy, since you don't have good looks and most likely don't know how to fight, you're nothing but a computer nerd."
"Yep," Joe agreed. "Sums it all up."
"STAY OUT OF THIS!" Izzy yelled. He then turned to Thomas and lunged at him.
"You've got to be kidding me," Thomas shook his head. "Ooof!"
"I'll show you how wrong you are!" Izzy choked him, but Thomas kneed him in the gut and pushed him off.
"Don't you think we should start working on our sculpture?" Joe said.
"No, it's more interesting to watch these guys fight," Koji smirked. "Look at this!" he watched as Izzy tried to take a swing at Thomas, but Thomas held up his arm so that his hand pushed at Izzy's head.
Joe sighed. "I guess I'll have to build this myself," he said as he started piling up sand.
Sincere Love...
"Oh my god! What's going on there?" Sora pointed to Thomas and Izzy fighting.
"It's probably some trick they're doing to distract us from building our sculpture," Zoe shook her head. "I mean, they're geniuses. You need to watch out for their sneaky tricks."
"I guess," Sora said.
"It has to be a joke. I mean, look at the way Izzy's fighting. It's definitely a ploy," Yolei laughed.
"We're making a turtle and that's it!" Kazu yelled.
"No! A bunny is cooler!" Kenta shoved Kazu.
"Guys, guys!" Sora yelled. "Just because they're pretending to fight doesn't give you the right to imitate them."
"What are you guys yelling about anyways?" Zoe stood akimbo.
"I want to make a bunny but Kazu thinks we should build a turtle!" Kenta pointed at Kazu.
"The only way we can settle this is by voting," Sora made a time-out signal. "So who thinks we should make a bunny?" Kenta and Mimi were the only one to raise their hands. "Okay, so turtle it is."
"Ha hah! Kenta loooooses!" Kazu jeered.
"Hey! If you don't knock it off, we'll build the bunny!" Zoe threatened. Kazu immediately stayed silent.
"Ha hah, you got yelled at," Kenta whispered at Kazu.
The Leftovers...
"I'm an expert at sand sculpting," TK said.
"It's true," Kari nodded. "All of us would go to the beach, and TK never went in the water because he was too busy making a bunch of statues."
"Awesome! We might actually win this," Jeri hopped in place.
"One tip is to get some damp sand. Not too dry because it crumbles easier, but not too wet because then it turns into useless goop," TK said.
"Good to know," Kouichi gave him a thumbs up. "So what should we build?"
"How about a Rufus?" Jeri pointed to her puppet. Everyone else grimaced.
"Noooo," TK shook his head. "Any other ideas?"
"How about a life-sized boat?" Kari said. "We could make a little doorway and stairs to a platform so it looks like we're on a boat."
"That's not a bad idea," TK nodded. "What do you guys think?"
"Me and Rufus like it," Jeri said.
"Same here," Kouichi said.
"How about you, Ryo?" TK asked.
"Shhh! Don't you see I'm playing a mini-game?!" Ryo yelled. "Crap, I lost. Thanks a lot T-Jerk!"
"I guess we can get started then," TK shrugged. "Let's get some sand," he pointed to the sand. "Ryo, get some sticks."
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever," he shooed TK away.
Thirty minutes later...
"I think we have all the sand we need," TK smiled at the large mountain of sand the team collected. "Ryo, where are the sticks?"
"What?" Ryo said, not taking his eyes off his Tamagotchi.
"I'm giving you one more chance," TK stomped over to Ryo and snatched the toy away.
"Hey! I was playing with that!" Ryo yelled.
"Just listen to me and I'll give this back to you," TK said calmly. "Go get the sticks."
"Okay, I heard you the first time. Now gimmie," he grabbed the toy back from TK and walked toward the backwoods.
"Is it me, or is TK being bossier than usual?" Jeri said.
"Yeah," Kouichi said.
"Just follow what TK has to say," Kari sighed. "He knows what he's doing. If we listen to him, we'll definitely have the best sculpture around."
Hours later...
"Look at this," TK admired the giant sculpture.
"I can't believe we built this!" Kari went through the doorway and climbed up to the top of the boat. "Look at me!"
"This is so cool!" Jeri said.
"Uh, don't mean to kill the mood, but where's Ryo?" Kouichi said.
"Yeah," Kari looked all around the boat. "Last time I saw him, he headed that way," she pointed to the forest.
"Oh my god! What if he gotten eaten by a bear?" Jeri gasped.
"I think I know exactly what happened," TK stomped off. "Ryo! Ryo!" he hollered. He heard the sound of beeping and followed it to see Ryo sitting on a rock, playing with his Tamagotchi. "RYO!"
"What," Ryo said in monotone. "I'm busy."
"You're going to be very busy, especially after what you did, or didn't do," TK yanked him by the ear and started dragging him out of the woods. "Do you know how hard the rest of the team worked? The only thing I asked you to do was get some sticks! One simple task!"
"Can you let go of my ear? It's pretty hard to play when you're ripping my ear off," Ryo said.
"You know what else is hard?" TK said. "Trying to play a game when you don't have that toy!"
"You wouldn't!" Ryo gasped.
I would!" TK grabbed the Tamagotchi from Ryo's hand and chucked it toward the beach. "Try playing your little game now."
"You bastard!" Ryo ran to the sand boat. "Since you messed up my game, I'll mess up your stupid sculpture! Now you'll know what it feels like to lose something precious!" he punched the boat.
"What are you doing?" Jeri said as half the boat began to disintegrate.
"You moron!" Kouichi screamed. "You just ruined our chances of winning!"
"And he ruined my Tamagotchi!" Ryo pointed at TK.
"You're insane. Ever since you found that blasted toy, you haven't done anything to help us out!" TK said.
"I am not crazy!" Ryo yelled.
"Can someone get me out of this avalanche?" Kari said, crushed by the sand. Kouichi went over to pull her out.
Judging Time...
"What is this?" Gennai quizzically looked at the small sand houses.
"We were trying to make it all miniature," Matt said.
"It's one of the biggest trends in sandcastle building," Tai said.
"Oh brother," Rika muttered.
"And you see all of those little blobs in between the houses?" Marcus pointed to them.
"They're miniature people," Takato nodded.
"And it took a lot of work to make it this small too," Tai said.
"The thing people don't understand about tiny sand castles is the amount of effort it takes for them to be this small," Matt said, sounding like a sketchy car salesman.
"Amazing," Gennai nodded. "I like it. Let me see what the other teams have done. Holy shit! What the hell happened here?!"
"We made a sand-witch," Joe said. "Well, more like I made it by myself," he said under his breath.
"Nice sculpture, but I was talking about these two," he pointed at Thomas and Izzy.
"Oh, that," Koji said. "Let's just say Izzy was cruisin' for a bruisin'."
"Wow, Izzy got his ass kicked. And Thomas just looks funny," Gennai laughed at Izzy's bruised face and the bald patch on Thomas's head.
"What do you think of our turtle?" Kenta pointed at his team's sand sculpture.
"Really?" Gennai disapprovingly looked at it. "I could easily do the same thing myself. All you guys had to do was pile up some sand and shape it into a dome!"
"If Tai's team did the same thing, they probably would have won," Yolei muttered.
"What did you say?" Gennai cocked his head to the side.
"Nothing. That was just my stomach," Yolei fibbed.
"I thought so..." Gennai said. "Totally understandable since you guys are definitely not winning awesome sandwiches."
"Damn," Kazu put his head down.
"Now time to look at the Leftovers...what the hell?!" Gennai stepped back.
"Ha hah! Finally found it!" Ryo held up his Tamagotchi.
"What is this?" Gennai pointed to the sculpture.
"Uh, it's a wrecked-up boat?" Kouichi said.
"Like in Pirates of the Caribbean?" Kari laughed nervously.
"Never seen the movies, so I don't know if you guys are telling the truth. To me, it looks like an uncompleted boat," Gennai said.
"It used to be complete," Jeri said.
"Yeah, until that asshole punched it out," TK grumbled.
"Hey everyone!" Gennai yelled. "I've got good news for you! THE LEFTOVERS ARE HEADED TO THE CAMPFIRE CEREMONIES!"
"Yayyyy!" the other teams cheered.
"What? Does everyone hate us this much?" Jeri began to cry.
"No," Kari patted Jeri on the back. "They're just happy because they didn't lose."
"Or maybe a combination of both," Kouichi muttered.
"One question!" Marcus yelled. "Who wins the sandwiches?"
"Reliable Knowledge," Gennai said. "They built a witch! Get it? A sand witch...which sounds like the word sandwich. They deserve the sandwiches because I could tell they wanted the sandwiches really badly."
"Booo! That stinks!" Davis said.
"Shut up," Gennai said. "If you guys wanted to win, you could have made a miniature witch. But you didn't, so suck it up!"
Camera Confessions...
"Still think bullshitting is the way to go?" Rika said. "Thanks to those doofs, we don't get any real food. And when I'm hungry, I'm not an agreeable person."
"I thought TK was pretty mean today. He was angry and it scared me," Jeri hid her face with her puppet.
"Grow a pair, will you?" Rufus said.
"A pear? How?" Jeri looked at her puppet. "They grow on trees, right?"
"Oh, you know who I voted for!" TK cracked his knuckles.
"Yeah, thank god my Tamagotchi's sleeping, so I had the time to vote TK out. He's such a bastard," Ryo said, glancing at his toy.
"TK was out of hand today," Kari said. "But then again, so was Ryo."
Campfire Ceremonies...
"Ryo, I'd like to thank you for destroying your team's chances of avoiding elimination," Gennai laughed sinisterly. "Unfortunately, your teammates would beg to differ. You and TK got the most votes for elimination but the person who gets to stay is...TK. Ryo, I hate to say this but you're getting a ride on the Loser Cruiser."
"Huh?" Ryo said. "Sorry, wasn't paying attention."
"I'm not repeating myself," Gennai said. "Interns!"
Two interns picked Ryo up and walked off.
"That's a wrap! Stay tuned for the next episode," Gennai said to the cameras.
Last words...
*Beep, beep, beep! Zap! Click Clack Click*
"That's right, kick some ass!" Ryo said to his Tamagotchi.
