Comment: Not for a long time. monkeysmashingkeyboards (talk) 21:27, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Sourcing does not show this topic is notable. Source 1 offers brief mentions, source 2 is unreliable (WP:KNOWYOURMEME, WP:UGC), source 3 is just an interview with one of the creators and source 4 discusses a live event hosted for both II and BFDI. While you have established this exists, you have not established it is notable. We need multiple reliable, secondary sources covering the topic in significant depth and are independent from the subject. Think of a movie review from a reliable critic on a reliable website, for instance; that's the type of sources we're looking for. Rambley (talk / contribs) 23:37, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Show overview
The series follows a group of anthropomorphic object contestants competing for a prize, using the standard object show format for the first season and part of the second. After the 8th episode of that season, the show becomes a "contestant vote", in which contestants from the losing team vote one of their members off. In the third season, viewers could vote one contestant to win immunity up until episode 12. MePhone4, a parody of the iPhone 4, hosts the first three seasons, with two former contestants taking over in season 4. The first two seasons have the prize of one million dollars. The third season has a few contestants going to a tropical island via boat to battle for an unplanned prize. The fourth has an announcement at "Purgatory Mansion" to make others join with no prize.
