Blackhole did not like being indoors.
This was fairly obvious though to a normal person with a normal thought process, and also knows blackhole of course. He was not a fan of destruction, nor anything related to destruction, really. That was one of the reasons he teamed up with Pie in BFB, and stayed as Death P.A.C.T in TPOT. He did not actively want to destroy any intellectual property, and if he did, he would've been apologising profusely and probably beating himself up about it. And something else about blackhole was how ironic it was, a literal killing machine that could've completely destroyed earth right now, instead trying to do the opposite of what it naturally does.
That was preventing death, but why did he want to prevent death?
Remote found this a bit weird, how nobody ever thought about this, nor asked about it. Even her team never gave a second thought to blackhole's death preventy-ness, they already knew why pie wanted to, and everyone knew lightning didn't like his past. Plus, they were either too busy stopping people from dying, or just goofing around with the other contestants and chilling, like how tree, along with leafy and grassy randomly disappear for hours, before magically reappearing when the sun went completely down, or like how lightning sometimes disappears before reappearing in the blink of an eye. And well, blackhole constantly moved around, or just floated into the sky, overseeing everyone and making sure no-one died.
Remote thought of this, before looking around to find her entire team chatting with each other, happy giggling and muffled out noises she couldn't bother to care about. And there, blackhole was casually floating, doing nothing and not joining in on the conversation.
Remote decided to seize this opportunity, walking towards him in a beeline, robotic steps plowing down onto the grass reflecting the moon above them's rays. And with that, remote arrived at her destination, before promptly calling out, "Hey blackhole, why do you want to prevent death so much?".
Blackhole, with no physical cue, suddenly said, "Well, it's kinda a long story."
"I want to hear it."
"Well, are you sure?"
"Okay then, so, it all started back at bfb 1.."
Blackhole had just done his first challenge in the game show, he didn't really want the prize, honestly. He would've sucked it up if he did win it, it was fairly obvious to his nature as a blackhole. Plus, he wasn't really invested into the thing at all, he had just done it because he wanted to be around other sentient beings, after having been out in space sucking up who knows what for at least a few bazillion years. It also really surprised him that these sentient beings would get sucked up and well, disintegrate into nothingness like the tiny rocks that were absorbed into him. He had decided that it was an easy manipulation tactic for the other teams.
But, the contestants proved to be.. annoying and lame.
He also didn't really care for the death prevention thing he apparently signed himself up to, he did it because it seemed like a fun challenge for himself, but that proved too boring and hard. So, he simply stopped, sometimes being berated by the other contestants whenever he sucked them up during break. Apparently, none of his teammates catches on as well.
And by now, he was just simply floating around in the sky, doing absolutely nothing as he watched the other contestants do their thing. Grassy, tree and leafy photosynthesising somewhere on a tree that was far, far away from everyone, pencil and match playing their.. spongy slandering game, and flower looking at a mirror trying to pretty herself up. It wasn't much, and was kinda boring.

"Black hole, black hole..! Black hole!" Tree screamed out towards the literal floating black sphere, of which was currently floating above him. He had already called out at least.. 20 times.
