Flower, having woken up earlier, would use the free time she had to head back to her tent, where her sewing machine was. She had a few more sweaters in mind, and other contestants who might like them. For Coiny, maybe he'd like a fire extinguisher design on his. For Blocky? Easy, the logo for his 'corporation' would do just fine. Woody? Maybe a tree design? Yeah, that'd work. Unfortunately, the creative process wasn't easy to get started... mostly with the commotion going on outside.

"Fifty on Leafy!"

"A hundred on Pin!"

"Two hundred and fifty on Leafy!"

"Five on Woody."

It seems that Coiny, ever since he started deciding to hold 'bets' on who'd get eliminated, was getting more business than ever, mostly on the now-broken alliance.

"Alright, everyone settle down." Coiny laughed, collecting all the earnings, making note to separate the actual money and the paper slips, just in case Golf Ball was right and they don't count that as real money, but what were the chances of that ?

"At least we don' have much to worry about, right Flower?" Woody, who made his way beside Flower, would watch the crowd for a bit.

"Yeah, you're probably right." Flower thought, noting how much clearer Woody's English became already, "Everyone's got their attention on those two... I'm just glad the feud will probably be over soon."

"Yeah... if Pin geh's eliminated. If she stays in... this'll probably just ha'ben more." Woody explained.

"Well, yeah...but she won't have Leafy to boss around anymore?"

"Then what will she do? She'll find someone else to boss around!" Woody explained, "An' she'll keep going until she either wins or runs out !"

Flower noted that, "Well then, I hope the latter happens..." she turned back to Woody. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I made you something!"

She took the time to hand Woody the sweater she finished for him, the one with the tree design.

"Eh... comfy." Is all he had to say at first, before going, "Thaaak you, Flower!"

"Don't mention it." Flower hesitated, "Hey uh, sorry for..." Woody cut her off.

"Wha'ever it is, don't." Woody said, "You cha'ged for the better. That's enough of an apology, I guess... plus, you di' help me a lot."

Flower nodded at that with a smile. That affirmation was good to hear, at least.

"Pin, Flower, Woody and Leafy." The Announcer called them all up, "Last episode, you four had the lowest scores. The voters have cast their ballots and have decided which of you will be eliminated."

Pin and Leafy both glared at each other, looking like they were trying to blow each other up with just their minds. They both knew that they were the biggest targets by far. It all depended on two things; the number of pity votes for Leafy stuck to their guns, and how many bought into Pin's little crying fit at the end of last episode.

"This time, we got 158 votes. I have ten slices of cake."

As if things weren't unpleasant enough for the four up there, the reveal of what cake he brought this time certainly made it worse... fruitcake.
