Lofty
The cake for Cake at Stake is an imaginary cake, with the bottom two being Golf Ball, at 12 votes (6 after using her win token), and Rocky, at 15. Golf Ball is eliminated from a 0-6 vote, with Rocky moved to the Squishy Cherries. The contest is try to stay up in the air with balloons, which the Squashy Grapes win and Another Name lose. No one receives a Win Token in this episode.
A Leg Up In The Race
The Cake at Stake has no cake, with the bottom two being Tennis Ball and Coiny at 22 and 30 votes, respectively. Leafy picks Tennis Ball for the Squashy Grapes, eliminating Coiny. Announcer then breaks up the teams. The contest is to climb ladders. Everyone except for Tennis Ball goes to the top. Because of the removal of teams, the point system is introduced. The bottom third of the leaderboard go to the Cake at Stake. Win Tokens are also removed, and in exchange, Firey, Pen, Blocky, and Eraser earn 15 points for each token they had. The contestants also gain points from the contest, and lose points for each vote they have received at past Cake at Stake ceremonies.
Don't Lose Your Marbles
The cake for Cake at Stake is fish, with the bottom third being Snowball, Bubble, Rocky, and Tennis Ball. Snowball is eliminated with 47 votes. The contest is to find and bring a red ball to the Announcer. There are also maroon balls, which subtract points instead of adding them.
Half a Loaf Is Better Than None
The cake for Cake at Stake is fruitcake, with the bottom third being Match, Ice Cube, Rocky, and Tennis Ball. Match is eliminated with 66 votes. The eliminated contestants get a contest to carry loaves to their basket until the deadline, won by Spongy, who rejoins the competition and gains 38 points, one for each loaf of bread carried. The next contest is to jump over obstacles on a conveyor belt. Blocky and Bubble last the longest.
Vomitaco
The cake for Cake at Stake is nickels, with the bottom third being Ice Cube, Leafy, Eraser, and Firey. Eraser is eliminated with 99 votes. There are two contests: to stay on floating islands in a giant barf bag, and to make a taco rated by the eliminated contestants. Pencil lasts the longest in the barf bag, and Spongy's taco receives the most likes from the eliminated contestants.
Bowling, Now with Explosions!
The cake for Cake at Stake is an explosive blueberry pie, with the bottom third being Pen, Bubble, and Rocky. Pen is eliminated with 144 votes. The contest is bowling, and everyone is sent to Cake at Stake besides Firey, who earned immunity by bowling a strike. Uniquely in this episode, contestants that knocked down any pins choose how they would like to subtract points instead of adding them.
The Reveal
The cake for Cake at Stake is knives, and Blocky is eliminated with 112 votes. The contest is to throw and catch frisbees as a pair, with a penalty if the pair does not finish before sunset. Leafy and Ice Cube fail to finish before the sunset. Announcer reveals that the contestants will vote on who is eliminated, and the viewers will instead vote on one of thirty fan-made characters ("recommended characters") to join the competition. The characters eligible for entry are 8-Ball, Balloony, Barf Bag, Basketball, Bell, Bomby, Book, Clock, Cloudy, David, Dora, Eggy, Evil Leafy, Fanny, Fries, Grassy, Marker, Naily, Nickel, Nonexisty, Pie, Pillow, Remote, Robot Flower, Roboty, Ruby, Saw, Taco, Tree and TV.
Reveal Novum
The eliminated contestants plot their escape from the TLC, but the Announcer appears and tells them to stop planning. The Cake at Stake is a cracker, and Leafy and Tennis Ball tie for elimination with two votes. The tiebreaker is to jump over a gap, eliminating Tennis Ball who falls. The cake for Cake at Stake is a yellow tomato. David joins the game as the recommended character with 102 votes. The other recommended characters are sent to the Locker of Losers (LOL), a huge, navy blue box similar to the TLC, with a lock to prevent attempts of escape. The scoreboard gets downgraded, so it can only hold two-digit numbers. The contest is a staring contest, won by Pencil. While the staring contest is underway, the eliminated contestants attempt to escape the TLC, which backfires and they nearly drown in the river until they are saved by the sunrise. When points are given out, Pencil's score overflows, and she ends up in the bottom third.
Rescission
The cake for Cake at Stake is shovels covered in mud. The bottom three are Spongy, Firey, and Pencil; Pencil is eliminated with 259 votes. From this point on, points no longer exist; contestants now obtain immunity by winning challenges. The contest is to race on unicycles, won by Bubble, Rocky, and Firey. For winning first, Bubble is allowed to choose another contestant to have immunity, choosing Leafy.
Gardening Hero
The Announcer moves the competition to outer space due to "budget cuts". The cake for Cake at Stake is ice cream cake again, with Spongy, Ice Cube, and David up for voting. David is eliminated with 331 votes. The contest is to get in a spaceship and shoot lasers at other contestants. Bubble wins, and once again picks Leafy to have immunity alongside her. Announcer invites the viewers to vote on an eliminated contestant to rejoin the game, while the non-immune contestants will be voted on by the previously eliminated.
The Glistening
The contestants return to Earth, using Spongy as spaceship fuel. There is no Cake at Stake item; Ice Cube is the most voted to be eliminated. Flower rejoins the game with 205 votes. The contest is a long jump competition, won by Leafy, although she gives up her immunity to Spongy because she feels bad for having used him as fuel.
Don't Pierce My Flesh
The Announcer gets crushed by Spongy, so Firey and Flower bring out their personal speaker boxes to host. The cake for Cake at Stake is "yoylecake" (a cake composed of fictional "yoyleberries", which makes bodies turn into metal when eaten), and Rocky is eliminated with 319 votes. The contest is to escape a volcano. The contestants all tie, so Firey and Flower's Speaker Boxes do a beauty contest. They declare their creators as the winners, giving Firey and Flower immunity.
Hurtful!
The Announcer gets recovered, more speaker boxes show up, and the cake for Cake at Stake is cheese slices. Spongy is eliminated with 432 votes. The contest is to complete every previous contest in order from episode 1 to 22. Near the end, Bubble and Leafy argue about their friendship, and then Flower kills Leafy. Bubble then kills Flower and proceeds to win immunity. Firey is given a penalty (holding a sign asking the viewers to vote for him) for performing poorly during the challenge.
Insectophobe's Nightmare 2
Firey and Leafy hang out in the former's ferris wheel. However, Firey installed a lava fall on it. Unable to escape, Leafy is burned to death. She does not get recovered for Cake at Stake, as the Announcer sold the recovery centers due to "budget cuts". Firey does not believe him, so he bets his life savings. Announcer accepts the bet and tells Firey that the recovery centers really were sold.
Return Of The Hang Glider
After releasing the eliminated contestants, the Announcer holds the final Cake at Stake for Bubble, Leafy and Firey. There were only 870 votes, which supposedly meant no Season 2 would occur. The cake is a Grand Cake, made up of all the previous cakes. Before the Announcer can declare the winner, Flower damages him, affecting his speech. The eliminated contestants have an opinion vote for which contestant in the finale they would like to win Dream Island. With 406 out of 870 votes, Firey wins the cake and Dream Island.
