Battle for Dream Island – Battle for Battle for Battle for Dream Island
BFB is the fourth season of the Battle for Dream Island series, following IDFB and preceding Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two. It consists of two parts, Battle for BFDI and Battle for BFB.
Episodes
Getting Teardrop to Talk
Set sometime after the events of IDFB, the TLC inhabitants have been released, and everyone has settled into a grassland. After Flower calls Black Hole over to open a jar of cyanide dug up by Marker, Stapy and Dora, the recovery centers are destroyed once again. Two creatures known as "Algebraliens", Four and X, arrive on Earth to start a new competition, with the prize being a "BFDI", which gives its holder full ownership of the show's recordings. Four is able to recover contestants by rematerializing them with his hand, eliminating the need for recovery centers. The 60 contestants, joined by newcomers Foldy, Liy, Loser and Stapy to make 64, split into eight teams of equal size, being Death P.A.C.T., Free Food, BEEP, iance, The Losers, A Better Name Than That, Team Ice Cube and [8 names at once] ("Bleh"). The first challenge is to retrieve X's lost baskets, which iance loses.
Lick Your Way to Freedom
Pencil is the first to be eliminated and is abruptly absorbed into Four. The contestants egg on Four to recover their dead teammates. After initially refusing, he recovers them all inside of large, hollow jawbreakers, and the second contest is to find one of the revived contestants inside of one. When BEEP is revealed to have lost, they give up on their jawbreaker, leaving the remaining contestant, Taco, trapped inside.
Why Would You Do This on a Swingset
Leafy is the next to be eliminated. The teams use varying strategies to spin their swing set around fifty times in order to win immunity, which Team Ice Cube loses. During the challenge, members of Bleh speculate on the whereabouts of Taco, despite the jawbreaker holding her sitting right next to them. When Taco manages to free herself from the jawbreaker after the challenge, Book accuses her of leaving them and she and her teammates shun Taco.
Today's Very Special Episode
Bracelety is the next to be eliminated. Four challenges the teams to create him the best "makeover" (depiction) possible in honor of the fourth episode. Death P.A.C.T. is far too caught in a conundrum involving forks to commit time to the challenge, and Pen's depiction of Four leaves them up for elimination.
Fortunate Ben
The Cake at Stake is fortune cookies made by Bracelety, and Liy is eliminated. The challenge is for each team to keep their paper airplane in the sky, with the first to hit the ground being put up for elimination. Stapy staples the paper airplane together with Free Food stuck inside. Free Food begins their descent along with team BEEP. BEEP barely loses the challenge after Stapy's staples crack open the ground and save Free Food from losing the challenge.
Four Goes Too Far
During Cake at Stake, A Better Name Than That decides that Four's abusive behavior has gone on long enough, and plots to get rid of him by "multiplying" him with zero, using X as a multiplication operator and Donut as the zero integer. The plan is successful, and Four is absorbed into Donut, who becomes the new host of the show. Roboty is the next to be eliminated, and he escapes to his personal realm. The challenge is to avoid contracting the "Twinkle of Contagion," a glowing effect that envelops whoever looks at it. A Better Name Than That uses a rocket ship to head to the moon, followed by Bleh, but they catch the Twinkle when they look down on Earth. Taco leaves them and tricks Bell into looking at the moon and catching the Twinkle. The Losers hide in a large basket to avoid contracting the Twinkle. However, Bell manages to smash through the basket and pass the Twinkle to The Losers just before time runs out, putting them up for elimination.
The Liar Ball You Don't Want
Loser, an extremely popular contestant, is scrutinized after lying about having played with eye popper toys in the past, as said eye poppers had just been created. He is then eliminated during the Cake at Stake ceremony, and is sealed inside one of the leftover jawbreakers. For the challenge, teams must prevent the jawbreaker from entering their hole to avoid being put up for elimination, which A Better Name Than That loses.
Questions Answered
Donut, communicating through TV, uses his new camera, which transmits matter, to conjoin the Earth and the Moon, allowing A Better Name Than That and Bleh to return to Earth. In a trivia contest, teams must press their buzzers and answer Donut's questions. 8-Ball is eliminated and crushed by the moon after Donut turns the gravity back on, and Saw inhales the fumes created by his death, causing her to only respond with "eight" whenever answering a question, as well as causing her to shout "eight" whenever using words that rhyme with it. Stapy creates a fake buzzer to steal the final answer from Bubble, but he is caught by Match, placing his team up for elimination.
This Episode Is About Basketball
It is revealed that X had narrowly escaped being "multiplied" and went into hiding, and a tired Donut decides to make him the host. Stapy is eliminated as X reads the Cake at Stake votes backwards. The challenge is to throw balls into a basket and weigh it down onto the buzzers from the previous challenge, lost by BEEP.
Enter the Exit
Once the contestants realize that Four was the only available source of contestant recovery (as X does not know how to do that yet and Donut's own attempts failed) and still had the "BFDI" on him when he was absorbed into Donut, they decide that the next challenge is to bring him back. Firey and Pin successfully do so, extracting his essence from Donut, and once Four is recovered, he recovers the dead contestants and sends the remaining eliminated contestants to "Eternal Algebra Class Withfour" (abbreviated as EXIT, and part of the Fourest, a pocket dimension inside of Four), where the other eliminated contestants are. Instead of an elimination, one player in the EXIT gets the chance to rejoin BFB. That night, Taco and Bell fall out over the former's trick in "Four Goes Too Far", which Lollipop witnesses from the sidelines.
Get to the Top in 500 Steps
Leafy rejoins the game and is placed on The Losers due to them winning last episode's challenge. The challenge is to climb a pillar of stairs the fastest. Flower begins to panic due to the contestants in front of her not letting her cross, risking iance being put up for elimination. Flower finally breaks and pushes off the contestants on the stairs, with some regaining their position. Foldy sabotages Flower and the rest of iance in an attempt to avenge Stapy. Her plan is successful as iance ends up losing.
What Do You Think of Roleplay?
Match is the next to be eliminated. Each team is put in a room and has to guess which of their teammates has had their mind swapped with someone from a different team, while the "impostor" has to avoid being caught. Team Ice Cube loses.
Return of the Rocket Ship
When Saw is also accused by Book for abandoning them after Saw had left in an attempt to cleanse herself of 8-Ball's fumes, with the pressure resulting in Ice Cube distancing herself from Book and attempting to switch teams, Gaty confronts Book about her abandonment obsession with Taco, who is currently having difficulties trying to socialize with the other contestants, as the other teammates have already realized that it was a misunderstanding. Ice Cube attempts to join Team Ice Cube at Cake at Stake, where Firey Jr. is the next to be eliminated, and Four uses her to cool down the soup handed out, which she barely survives, then attempts to join iance. The challenge is to find X's treasures, which Golf Ball and Tennis Ball find are various emeralds buried underground. Death P.A.C.T. attempts to retrieve Pillow from inside of Four after he swallowed her. A Better Name Than That digs with the satellite dish with their broken rocket. Team Ice Cube digs into a mysterious area.
Don't Dig Straight Down
During the challenge, Team Ice Cube discovers a hot spring inside the Earth's crust. Spongy takes multiple dives into the lake and accidentally cracks open an underground volcano, which forces the team to evacuate. A Better Name Than That finds an emerald, but Death P.A.C.T, Team Ice Cube and The Losers use it to present it as their own, while Free Food presents fake emeralds from Yellow Face to Four. The lava starts to spread around the crust and later flood the surface, killing a majority of the contestants. iance barely escapes with an emerald due to Golf Ball's presence, Beep breaches Golf Ball's underground factory, with Woody hiding in a garbage chute that takes him to Four's eye, and Book jumps into the path of the lava to save Taco and Ice Cube from getting killed by the lava. Bleh loses, becoming the final team to suffer a loss.
The Four is Lava
Dora is the next to be eliminated, and the remaining contestants on Bleh apologize to Taco for falsely accusing her. As the lava flood persists, the remaining living contestants are scattered and stranded across different areas in the grasslands, and the challenge is to find a way back to Four without dying. Flower discovers a button that drains the lava down a garbage chute, allowing Woody to escape, and sending the remaining teams in an all-out scramble toward Four. Team Ice Cube loses. The Losers then ask Four to recover their dead teammates, and he recovers them including Clock, who is disappointed to find no one had tried to recover him while he was dead.
The Escape from Four
During the elimination, the "EXITors" attempt to escape from Four's body. Spongy is eliminated, but is too large for Four to absorb. The "EXITors" climb through him, but despite a tug-of-war between Four and the other contestants, most of the "EXITors" are sucked back in, and Firey Jr. sets Spongy on fire, burning Four as well, and Spongy ultimately escapes along with Loser. As Four tries to recapture them, another Algebralien, Two, appears and invites the contestants to battle for the next season's titular "Power of Two". Four changes Battle for B.F.D.I.'s prize from a "BFDI" to a "BFB" to incentivize them to stay, but the majority, including X, move to the new season, leaving BFB with only fourteen contestants. To make room for the new season, Two relocates Four and the remaining BFB contestants to a new location, the "Pillary Ruins". Four restarts their season from there, while also reinstating the original "BFDI" as the prize, coexisting alongside the "BFB".
X Marks the Spot
The fourteen contestants are split into two teams: those closer to Four's hue, blue, and those closer to X's color, yellow. The challenge is to retrieve X from the set of TPOT. The Four-colored team lassoes X, but their rope snaps, sending X flying toward the X-colored team, who win the challenge. The Four-colored team is up for elimination. The voting system is reversed, meaning that the viewers now vote in the comments for a contestant to stay, and the contestant with the least votes is eliminated.
Take the Tower
Balloony is eliminated at the Cake at Stake, and Four vaguely mentions that the eliminated contestants are now going to "BRB". The challenge is for teams to protect their towers from each other. The X-colored team's tower is destroyed and the teams are given new names; the Have Cots for the winning team and the Have Nots for the losing team.
How Loe Can You Grow?
Spongy is eliminated at Cake at Stake; the challenge is to help X's crops grow better. The Have Nots use Spongy's space ship, which burns up in space as X and their crops' conditions fluctuates. The Have Nots win and The Have Cots are up for elimination.
A Taste of Space
Ruby is eliminated. The challenge is to cool down X. The two teams attempt to cool him down in various ways, such as making a sun angel and running across the Earth so it becomes nighttime, which earns or loses them points. After many failed attempts, Leafy realizes they could cool down X by simply pouring a bucket of water on him, resulting in the Have Cots' victory.
Let's Raid The Warehouse
During Cake at Stake, Loser's popularity makes him confident that he is going to stay in the game, until Four reveals that he is eliminated. For the challenge, the two teams are tasked with picking gifts for two of their teammates from Yellow Face's warehouse, and the receivers rate their satisfaction. The Have Cots win.
Who Stole Donut's Diary?
The "BRB" is revealed to be a tall, fast-spinning column called the Big Rotating Building. After a Cake at Stake ceremony where Taco is eliminated with just a single vote less than Flower, Four takes the teams to court to figure out who stole the original prize for the ceremony: a diary that belonged to Donut. While members of the Have Nots testify before the jury (the Have Cots), Leafy, after hearing Firey's false statement, realizes he took the diary, and she and Firey take things outside and eventually reconcile over the events of "Return of the Hang Glider", making amends. X catches Firey in the act of returning the diary and informs Four. The Have Nots win, while Firey is sentenced to clean up the railroad.
Fashion For Your Face!
Bubble is eliminated at Cake at Stake. The challenge is to rescue Four from jail and complete a cliff-and-warehouse challenge, as their journey is complicated by a sabotaged train and a fashion subplot involving Flower's sweater line. In the process, they accidentally end up freeing Purple Face from the metal box. The Have Cots win.
The Game Has Changed
Purple Face obscures himself and furtively begins Cake at Stake, and Blocky is eliminated. Four announces a new change in the competition; the contestants face a merge and have to compete individually instead of on teams. The challenge is preparing a party for Four; several of the contestants do not set up a party for Four, rather producing ones for other contestants, hosts, and other occasion. Lollipop and Flower win immunity and Lollipop grants Gelatin immunity.
The Tweested Temple
Firey is eliminated at Cake at Stake. The challenge is for contestants to enter a mysterious temple to retrieve "blessed totems", with only those who choose correctly gaining immunity. Teardrop finds the totem, while Flower, who is too busy dancing around the temple, finds a rock, and she and Teardrop win.
The Hidden Contestant
Woody is eliminated at Cake at Stake. Four and the remaining contestants meet another participant, Profily, who claims to have been in the game since the beginning, albeit hidden from view. Four gets annoyed by their presence, and, frustrated by futile attempts at sending Profily away or getting them eliminated on purpose, declares that the challenge is to send the disqualified Profily to the BRB next to X's aloe vera garden. Leafy receives immunity.
Uprooting Everything
To get away from interfering fans, Four leaves the ruins and goes on a five-week driving expedition carrying the contestants along with Purple Face and X, arriving in a desert. Lollipop is eliminated and has Gelatin inject a partial dose of her grape flavor into him. For the challenge, Four transports the contestants inside the "World's Largest Oven" and has them escape. Teardrop breaks free by utilizing a grappling hook and receives immunity.
B.F.B. = Back From Beginning
While inside the bus, X learns how to recover people, while the contestants are given a note to come outside, where they reunite with the Announcer. Everyone favors the Announcer over Four, which angers them. Because of this, they merge with the desert, turning it blue. Leafy is eliminated. The challenge is to redo the previous challenges. In each challenge, contestants meet one or more eliminated contestants. Flower wins immunity after successfully completing the final challenge, leaving Gelatin and Teardrop up for elimination.
SOS (Save Our Show)
Teardrop is eliminated. Announcer reveals that the show is facing cancellation due to a critically low budget, prompting the contestants and Purple Face to scramble to raise enough funds to save the show in an abandoned TV studio; they also note Four never ran into budgetary problems unlike the Announcer. Taco becomes suspicious on why the Announcer suddenly returned after the events of "Return of the Hang Glider" and confronts him when he secretly takes the "BFB" and "BFDI" from Four; he reveals to her that after the first season ended, he wanted the show to continue, but struggled to maintain the show while avoiding being noticed by the contestants. After BFDIA ended, the Announcer returned home, until discovering Four and X with the "BFDI". Suddenly, the show's budget begins to rapidly deteriorate, and at the last second, Flower donates $50,000, saving the show. The Announcer begrudgingly allows the show to continue and invites the viewers to vote who should win the two prizes.
Chapter Complete
An episode of a season in an alternative reality dimension inside Four's mind is generated as a coping method, as Four believes that the contestants do not care for him because they favor the Announcer. When he realizes even the false contestants favor the Announcer, he snaps out the dimension. The Announcer holds the final Cake at Stake for Flower and Gelatin. Flower wins the season, but she awards the BFB to the runner-up Gelatin. Purple Face robs the BFDI for not getting respect. The contestants and X pursue Four to reconnect with him while the other contestants try to collect the BFDI, but agree that the Announcer should hold it when he reveals it is the only remaining preservation of BFDI and BFDIA. The contestants follow Four to the Sun and, after Gelatin berates him for his behavior throughout the season, Four apologizes and they reconnect again. Afterwards, the contestants go their separate ways, with Firey and Leafy in particular going off to build a Dream Island of their own.
