    Barf Bag 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barfbag_teamicon.png
"I can't believe this! You guys never take me seriously!"
BFB Rank: 16th-55th (Tied), TPOT Rank: ??th
Team: Team Ice Cube! (BFB 1-16), Team8s (TPOT 1-)
Voiced by: Cary Huang (BFDI), Kenzie Bryant (BFB-present)
An intelligent paper bag filled with vomit. She’s generally levelheaded and kind, though her peers tend to judge her for her appearance and assume she’s an idiot because her brain is supposedly infected by barf.
  • Arch-Nemesis: Lollipop in the earlier episodes of BFB.
  • Best Friend: With Donut. She and Donut essentially act as the Team Mom and Team Dad of Team Ice Cube! respectively, being the ones to keep their team in line, while both of them also hold mutual hatred for Lollipop (both taking to calling her "Lollipoop"), and in BFB 8, Donut rigs his quiz show to contain questions that only Barf Bag would know. The two are so close, that when Team Ice Cube! goes their separate ways in TPOT 1, Donut says that he's sticking by Barf Bag's side.
  • Cool Big Sis: Serves as a sort of older sister figure to the other members of Team Ice Cube.
  • The Dog Bites Back: After 8 episodes, in "Questions Answered," Barf Bag finally stands up to Lollipop's bullying of her. They stop directly interacting after that.
    Barf Bag: (speaking to Donut) Sorry, my reflexes are too slow.
    Lollipop: (pops up) It's the barf molecules.
    Barf Bag: Shut it, LolliPOOP!
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Downplayed. Although not unpopular and hated, Barf Bag is constantly judged by her peers due to her appearance and overall species. Despite that, she keeps trying to prove herself to them, especially Lollipop.
  • Iron Butt Monkey: Granted, she’s not as hated as say, Spongy, but she’s often ridiculed by Lollipop for supposedly having an infected brain. She never has any of it.
  • Nice Girl: Generally friendly and empathetic as long as you don't get on her bad side.
  • Non-Indicative Name: Barf Bag is usually full of barf, and her OMG is "Oh My Sick Airship Passenger", but she doesn't need barf in her and actually felt way better when she had warm hot spring water in her in BFB 14.
  • Not So Above It All: She’s one of the more levelheaded and rational contestants, but she’s among the many people who climbs Bell’s string despite Bell making it abundantly clear she doesn’t want them to do so.
  • The Smart Girl: Actually pretty intelligent and rational compared to...about ninety-percent of the cast, but no one takes her seriously solely because she's a barf bag and the vomit is apparently messing with her brain.
  • Tomboyish Voice: Similar to Taco, Barf Bag has a deeper voice than some of the other females on the show (they are both voiced by Kenzie).

    Basketball 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/basketball_teamicon.png
"Tennis balls aren't the only ones with lines."
BFB Rank: 16th-55th (Tied), TPOT Rank: ??th
Team: A Better Name Than That (BFB 1-16), The Strongest Team On Earth (TPOT 1-)
Voiced by: Michael Huang (BFDI), Satomi Hinatsu (BFB-present)
A shy rubber basketball. She’s generally sweet and is a sort of Cool Big Sis figure to Grassy, and she's also pretty good with machinery and mechanics.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: She is very shy & quiet, but attacks Two with the other contestants in TPOT 1.
  • Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: The gentle girl to Snowball's brooding boy.
  • Characterization Marches On: In BFDI, Basketball wasn’t as shy as she was in BFB and seemed blunt at times when speaking, after BFDI, she is more of a Shrinking Violet.
  • Cool Big Sis: Serves as a big sister figure to Grassy and cares for him. In BFB 8, when Grassy has trouble pronouncing the word "respect", Basketball helps him say it. In BFB 13, when Grassy yells in excitement, Basketball instantly wakes up from her nap and asks the other contestants if Grassy needs anything. In various episodes, Grassy sits on top of Basketball's head and she seems to not mind.
  • Foil: She's one to Golf Ball. Both are intelligent sports balls, but Golf Ball tends to be rude to others that she's smarter than, such as Snowball or Grassy, while Basketball is more easygoing torwards them and doesn't look down at them for their lack of intelligence. Plus, Golf Ball has an underground factory while Basketball has an aboveground factory (that might have been underground before Two arrived, but still).
  • Innocently Insensitive: She told Four that they looked pudgy when a fridge inside them made their body look fat. Four didn't take this well and killed her, though they brought her back moments later.
  • Nice Girl: Despite her rebelling against Golf Ball, she's nothing but kind to others and acts like a big sister figure to Grassy.
  • "Oh, Crap!" Smile: Her reaction to getting caught as the fake Rocky in BFB 12.
    Uh, I mean...bull-ehh?....
  • Out-of-Character Moment: In TPOT 4, when Grassy is lit on fire by Snowball and stays on fire, she is uncomfortable with it, but at the same time she goes along with it and never helps him whatsoever. Even going as far as to be more concerned about his bracelet burning off and her team losing the challenge than Grassy's well-being.
  • Shrinking Violet: She’s pretty shy, examples include her not standing up for herself when Four was angry and started running away from Four, She also appears to be self-conscious about how bouncy she is.
  • Tomboyish Voice: Which leads to some viewers mistaking her for a male. In fact, when she first spoke in BFDI, her voice was actually masculine and manly.
  • Wrench Wench: In BFB 7, she mentions that she spent much of her time "inspecting" Robot Flower and uses her to try and control Remote. She also spends a good portion of the challenge in TPOT 1 trying to fix the elevator that Snowball had broken. It is also revealed that she has her own aboveground factory compared to Golf Ball's underground one.

    Bell 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bell_teamicon.png
"Ding dong, ding dong! Somebody get these rascals down!"
BFB Rank: 16th-55th (Tied), TPOT Rank: ??th
Team: Free Food (BFB 1-16), The Strongest Team On Earth (TPOT 1-)
Voiced by: Kenzie Bryant
A large brass bell. Sometimes, Bell can be seen hanging from a long string, while other times the string disappears. Bell is usually nice, but she can be very aggressive if provoked.
  • Ambiguously Gay: Seems to enjoy Taco's flirting in BFB 6, and is visibly flustered by it.
  • Beware the Nice Ones:
    • She's generally perky and sweet, but she lashes out at Taco for manipulating her in BFB 6 and refuses to accept her apology for what happened.
    • In TPOT 2, she wants anyone who tries to make her team lose dead.
    • She's among the many contestants who joins the No-Holds-Barred Beatdown against Two in TPOT 1.
    • Also, in TPOT 1, she flings Marker away for no reason when he tries to join her and Foldy's team.
  • Cute and Psycho: Despite being sweet, she's also crazy and able to hold a grudge.
  • Rejected Apology: In the stinger of BFB 10, she confirms to Taco that she holds a grudge against her for using her to get the twinkle off of the moon, and never gets over it.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: The girly girl to Taco's tomboy.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: TPOT 4 shows her to have a fear of rollercoasters, with her getting anxious upon being placed aboard by Puffball, and actually screaming when the ride kicks in.

    Black Hole 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blackhole_teamicon.png
"Our team's objective isn't winning. It's preventing death."
BFB Rank: 16th-55th (Tied), TPOT Rank: ??th
Team: Death P.A.C.T. (BFB 1-16), Death P.A.C.T. Again (TPOT 1-)
Voiced by: Satomi Hinatsu
A calm event horizon surrounded by an accretion disk. Black Hole nearly destroyed Earth before somehow being shrunk by Four. Despite his powers, he’s a gentle and kindhearted individual.
  • Artistic License – Physics: He has complete control over his gravity field. Zig-zagged whenever anyone gets dangerously close to his event horizon.
  • Bad Powers, Good People: He's inadvertently caused mass destruction and death due to his suction powers, but none of it is in his control, and his biggest desire above all else is preventing death. If not for how easily he could kill them by accident, most would be happy to call him their friend.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: He's easily one of the most (if not the most) powerful characters on the show, and could cause a massive amount of destruction if he wanted to. Despite this, he’s surprisingly laid-back and does not use his powers for evil, meaning he has excellent self-control.
  • Drama-Preserving Handicap
    • The only thing stopping Black Hole from effortlessly winning just about every challenge is the fact that he is dedicated to death prevention. If he was more ruthless he could just suck up all of the opposing teams to keep them from doing anything.
    • The various times he gets screwed over by Power Incontinence also count as this trope to a lesser extent.
  • Eldritch Abomination: Is a black hole. He used to be the size of a regular one and able to hear the others from far out in space but then was compressed down to the same size as all the contestants by Four.
  • The Faceless: Due to his lack of a face, he wiggles and warps when he speaks.
  • The Generic Guy: Almost-comically the most-normal character in the entire cast, with no real quirks aside from his powers.
  • Gravity Master: Black Hole's immense gravity has been very useful in regards to both preventing death and keeping Death P.A.C.T. safe during challenges. He can even slingshot falling contestants back into the sky by staying the right distance away from them so that they are affected by his pull, but not enough to be sucked into him.
  • Honor Before Reason: In BFB 11, he calls out Remote for trying to win the challenge, as he says that Death P.A.C.T. is about preventing death; not winning. In TPOT 4, he reaffirms this to Remote, in a much more serious tone.
    Black Hole: Remote, don't forget. Our death prevention supersedes any little challenge. Every. Single. Time.
  • Mellow Fellow: He's a very calm, rational, and friendly individual.
  • Nice Guy: He's a pretty chill guy and wants to prevent death and control his powers.
  • Nigh-Invulnerable: Best shown in TPOT 2 where the Zap Ray's lasers, which are shown to vaporize other contestants, do absolutely nothing to Black Hole. The only thing to actually kill him so far is Four's anti-flying remote.note 
  • No Sympathy: He doesn't feel even a little bit sorry for Lightning when he's eliminated, telling him his sacrifice will not be forgotten.
  • Not So Above It All: Despite being the most normal contestant, he falls for Two's competitions, instead of considering that Two seems suspicious.
  • Not So Stoic: TPOT 2 clearly has him become stressed out and more prone to anger because of everyone bothering him. No wonder it's called "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life."
  • Power Incontinence: He's able to suck up things, which allows him to remove any wall or object that he needs to remove. Unfortunately, he can't prevent this from always happening, which makes it more likely for him to accidentally kill or destroy things, going against Death P.A.C.T.'s entire mission.
    • This trope is later deconstructed in "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", with him becoming depressed due to his powers giving his team a disadvantage in the challenge, Pen (his former teammate nonetheless) taking advantage of his insecurities regarding his powers and death prevention, and then the accidental death of Teardrop.
  • Principles Zealot: By the time of TPOT 7, he's willing to outright sabotage his chances of winning if it means potentially preventing death (in a world where Death Is Cheap, no less), and when Fanny calls him out for it and how it's cost them two out of three members, Black Hole defends it by saying it's the greater good and the P.A.C.T.'s principle. After Fanny tests out Pillow's theory that teams associated with death are more lucky and managing to make them win the challenge, Black Hole outright states that he hates this strategy. This is later discussed in TPOT 10, when he shows Fanny just why he's so obsessed with preventing death, that being the fact that he could end the universe if unrestrained, but Fanny in turn says that he's so hyperfocused on death that he's entirely ignored everything else. The end result is that they both redefine the "death pact" into a "life pact" to be more lax on death when reasonable, Fanny rejoins the pact, and Fanny and Marker chop down Tree to get him out of the canal.
  • Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic: Averted. Black Hole's dialogue has a characteristic awkward realism to it, with him noticeably pausing and tripping over his words at times. It adds to his status as one of the show's most down-to-earth characters.
  • Reality Warper: In BFB 3, he states that he can "pull like there's no tomorrow", then explains it by saying that he can warp space-time so hard that there will be no tomorrow.
  • Story-Breaker Power: Black Hole's abilities put him in a league far above any other contestant. When preventing death (see Drama-Preserving Handicap above) isn't on the line, he is able to deal with most challenges easily.
  • Unrealistic Black Hole: He has a gender identity, a personality, and can talk like the rest of the cast. He used to be the size of one before Four got involved.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: His avoidance of causing death is what leads to the zombie apocalypse in TPOT 9 due to not wanting to kill and recover Barf Bag, who lost all her barf, with the only barf available being in the volcano mixed with lava after Rocky's elimination.

    Bottle 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bottle_teamicon_0.png
"Hee hee! That tickles!"
BFB Rank: 16th-55th (Tied), TPOT Rank: ??th
Team: Death P.A.C.T. (BFB 1-16), The S! (TPOT 1-)
Voiced by: Satomi Hinatsu
A glass bottle. She’s optimistic, upbeat, and fun-loving, but she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.
  • Bizarre Alien Biology: Whenever she cries, her tears flow inside her body, which Clock lampshades by asking how that's even possible.
  • Captain Obvious: Frequently says certain characters are dead, after they are shown dying ahead of time.
  • The Ditz: A bit of an airhead, likely because Bottle is an empty bottle literally filled with air.
  • Kindhearted Simpleton: She's pretty friendly and approachable, but that doesn't mean she's smart.
  • Larynx Dissonance: Her voice sounds more of a teenage boy's, despite being a girl.
  • Literally Shattered Lives: An inevitable result of a combination of being in a show where characters die frequently and being made of thin glass. Tree is unwilling to shatter her to free himself after somehow getting jammed in her during BFB 7, but Taco is perfectly fine with doing so when her mind is injected into his body five episodes later.
  • Mad Libs Catch Phrase: "And (insert character here) is dead!"
  • The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: She was never shown to be actively saving lives, even when right next to her. Lampshaded by Remote and Liy after her two Captain Obvious announcements:
    Remote: Our team has now prevented 0.00 deaths.
    Liy: We're not doing a good job at saving lives. We might need to up our game.

    Cake 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cake_teamicon.png
"I can't handle this torment anymore!"
BFB Rank: 16th-55th (Tied), TPOT Rank: 33rd
Team: The Losers! (BFB 1-16), Just Not (TPOT 1-)
Voiced by: Kenzie Bryant
A piece of chocolate cake. He is shy, emotional, and prone to blushing, but he also has a tendency to heavily rely on Loser.
  • Ambiguously Gay: With his feminine voice and personality, and how much he likes Loser, he can come off as this.
  • Eaten Alive: When the contestants realise they don't have a cake to eat in the video celebrating BFB's first anniversary, Cake is involuntarily chosen as the substitute.
  • Effeminate Voice: His voice sounds quite feminine.
  • Inelegant Blubbering: Cries and sniffles loudly after his former teammates leave him in TPOT 1 when making new teams. He accepts Naily's invitation to join her team while wailing.
  • In Touch with His Feminine Side: He has a high-pitched voice, blushes a lot, and is generally pretty soft-spoken.
  • Luminescent Blush: Does this a lot.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: He and Pie are complete opposites, Pie being a Mellow Fellow and him being In Touch with His Feminine Side. They also have voices not fitting their genders.
  • Please, Don't Leave Me: He begs Clock and Eggy not to leave him when forming teams in TPOT 1, referring to them as his friends. Eggy bluntly points out that the two of them never even did anything together while on Loser's team, much to the pastry's sadness.
  • Prone to Tears: Is shown to be the case in TPOT 1 as he shows his sensitive side.
  • Satellite Character: Became an odd form of this after Loser left, his personality slowly becoming more and more invested in simply being Loser's biggest fan. This seems to end in TPOT 1 when he decides not to follow Clock to Winner's team. Lampshaded in his farewell speech in TPOT 8, where he thanks his team for helping him get out of being in Loser's shadow.
  • Shrinking Violet: One of the shyest and most easily frightened contestants, frequently relying on Loser for emotional support.

    Clock 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clock_teamicon.png
"Watchers are wannabes."
BFB Rank: 16th-55th (Tied), TPOT Rank: 35th
Team: The Losers! (BFB 1-16), The S! (TPOT 1-)
Voiced by: Michael Huang (BFDI), Satomi Hinatsu (BFB-present)
A blue wall clock. Clock is outspoken and self-righteous, being one of the few contestants who's willing to talk back to Four, though he doesn't have much presence among his teammates. He's also one of Loser's biggest fans.
  • Arch-Enemy: Seems to be Four, as he stands up to him more often than the other contestants and is frequently screeched at in return. He eventually gets killed by him after BFB 10.
  • Ascended Fanboy: He's one of Loser's biggest fans, and is able to end up on the teams of his idol and later on his former partner — even being the only contestant to recognise Winner.
  • Comical Overreacting: When someone tries to touch his clock hands.
    Clock: Don't you ticking dare touch my clock hands!
  • Forgotten Fallen Friend: Was killed by Four sometime during BFB 11, and stayed dead until episode 15, due to his teammates forgetting about him. Needless to say, Clock was not amused.
  • Hypocrite: He has many moments of him being this, but never gets called out for it.
    • In BFB 1, he yells at Bracelety for cheering Ice Cube on as she and Liy are trying to force Teardrop to talk. Not once during this does he actually do anything to help Teardrop. Then, as soon as Teardrop accidentally bites down on Icy's legs, he suddenly starts yelling at Teardrop for doing so. After Teardrop understandably slaps Clock and Liy, Clock proceeds to make a truce with Liy, brushing aside the fact that she started all of this.
    • In BFB 10, he rats out all of the contestants who got eliminated while Four was gone, and insists that Stapy gets sucked up without even giving him the chance to say goodbye. Cut to TPOT 7 where he's just been eliminated and is pleading with Two and Winner to let him stay.
    • Also in TPOT 7, he points out that Rocky was the one who cost them the challenge and thus he should be eliminated and not him. That's rich coming from him, seeing as he messed up in TPOT 3, but Cloudy was the one who got booted.
  • Insufferable Genius: He's one of the smartest characters in the show, but also one of the rudest and most difficult characters to get along with, especially in TPOT.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: After being revived by Four in BFB 15, he becomes a somewhat bitter jerk who would act selfish without hesitation (he would sometimes act like this even before that episode though), but at least he still means well.
  • Kick the Dog: In BFB 10 he tells Four that Stapy is eliminated before he got the chance to say goodbye to Foldy.
  • Loony Fan: His admiration for Loser was rather downplayed, but he plays this much more straight with Winner. He immediately recognizes Winner as being Loser's ex-partner and immediately tries to get on the same team as them, suggesting that their team be named after them. As the episodes go by, Clock makes every attempt possible at buttering Winner up, giving offhanded compliments left and right and placing them on a pedestal. All of his hero worshipping makes Winner feel extremely uncomfortable. It gets to the point that he sabotages his team's attraction in TPOT 3, forcing Winner up even when the others had planned on Yellow Face performing.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In TPOT 3, his desire to have Winner perform despite already having Yellow Face prepared to do so causes his team to be one of the two teams up for voting. Winner even calls Clock out for thinking of himself.
  • Put on a Bus: Four refused to revive him for five episodes because the rest of The Losers couldn't remember who their missing team member was.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Downplayed, but he does become more selfish after being revived in BFB 15. Most likely because Four killed him off for a long time. This comes back to bite him in TPOT 3.
  • Took a Level in Cynic: While his behavior isn't that different from the previous episodes, he started becoming more abrasive, rude and disgruntled as of BFB 15. Justified because his teammates forgot about him and him dying in BFB 10 might have affected him.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He brings up that it will take a very, very long time for TPOT to finish if only one person is eliminated every few months, which leads Two to defy a tiebreaker when two teams get the lowest score, instead announcing a double elimination round. This includes Clock's team, as The "S" got zero points because he forced an unwilling Winner to perform on stage instead of Yellow Face as they had planned.
    • Karma Houdini: And yet, despite this, he still escapes elimination.

    Cloudy 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cloudy_teamicon.png
"I have a job? I was just collecting."
BFB Rank: 16th-55th (Tied), TPOT Rank: 40th
Team: BEEP (BFB 1-16), The S! (TPOT 1-)
Voiced by: Michael Huang
A puffy white cloud who speaks with a strange accent. He enjoys collecting various things and has a large pile of things he's collected over the years, ranging from the ordinary to the weird (such as numbers, planets, dreams, you name it).
  • Collector of the Strange: Has a convenient pile of junk lying around, and has even gone so far to collect immaterial concepts like favorite numbers.
  • Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: Has a weird accent that swaps letter sounds.
  • Mood-Swinger: Becomes a rain cloud when sad, becomes a thunderstorm when angry.
  • Stealth Pun: He is a cumulus cloud who also happens to be The Collector.
  • What the Hell Is That Accent?: He speaks with an accent switching voiced and unvoiced consonants.note 

    Eggy 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eggy_teamicon.png
"I thought I could glide through the competition without danger."
BFB Rank: 16th-55th (Tied), TPOT Rank: 37th
Team: The Losers! (BFB 1-16), The Strongest Team On Earth (TPOT 1-)
Voiced by: Katherine Sun
A large white egg with yellow spots. She's generally docile and seems kind at first glance, but she's actually quite snippy and easily annoyed.
  • Egg Folk: A spotted one at best.
  • The Ingenue: Appears to be sweet and caring, up until someone offends or irritates her.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She has a big rude streak. She views Teardrop’s arm-fluttering as a sign of disinterest and thus scoffs at her, claims that Barf Bag’s brain is infected by puke*, chose to ignore Four discussing the challenge for BFB 12, and blames Clock for the team’s loss in BFB 6, which ended up putting her in the bottom 2 for that episode’s elimination. However, she makes up for this by befriending others that are lonely and is pure-hearted in general.
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: In TPOT 2, she goes out of her way to recover Teardrop after the latter gets absorbed into Black Hole, only for Teardrop to later sabotage her team by knocking down their block tower at the last second, causing them to lose.
  • No Infantile Amnesia: Exaggerated; she remembers when she was an egg inside of an egg.
  • Pet the Dog: She bonds with Teardrop in The Stinger of BFB 4 by telling her a story of when she didn't speak, presumably to make up for her dismissive attitude towards her in BFB 1.
  • We Used to Be Friends: Leafy managed to befriend Eggy during the time she was hated. However, their friendship ended once Firey told Eggy about Leafy stealing Dream Island, and considering Eggy's reaction and both being on different shows, they never reconciled.

    Fanny 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fanny_teamicon.png
"I hate you!"
BFB Rank: 16th-55th (Tied), TPOT Rank: ??th
Team: iance (BFB 1-16), Death P.A.C.T. Again (TPOT 1-)
Voiced by: Michael Huang (BFDI), Satomi Hinatsu (BFB-present)
An electric desk fan. Fanny displays a hateful attitude towards almost everyone and everything, including herself. Aside from this, she is shown to have very strong morals, and she is also quite observant, often noticing things that her peers don't.
  • Character Development: While she starts off as a simple grump who hates everything, she gradually becomes more rounded as a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, developing a genuine soft spot for Bubble.
  • The Cynic: She has a hatred for everyone, herself included.
  • Hates Everyone Equally: Fanny hates everyone and everything with no real reasoning and the only explanation she gives is in her speech to Clock.
    Clock: Why would you hate me? I'm just trying to stand up for Teardrop!
    Fanny: Because self-improvement only occurs when we acknowledge that our own behaviors are far from perfect, and, dare I say, worthy of hate.
  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: She turns against her team Death P.A.C.T Again as she realizes that her team's been losing due to their quest to prevent death. So, she rebels against them on the grounds if that if they keep losing, soon their will be no members left to prevent death. Unfortunately, this leads to her killing Tree. The end result is that she's on the exact opposite extreme to Black Hole, killing people relentlessly in an attempt to balance out the rest of her team's reluctance to do so, but without many good results. She makes up with Black Hole in TPOT 10, and the two of them reach a more reasonable medium. As such, Fanny chooses to uphold the redefined pact again.
  • Hidden Depths: If this line from her is anything to go by, Fanny also hates herself.
    Bracelety: Ice Cube isn't worthy of hate!
    Fanny: Yes, she is!
    Bracelety: Y-You're worthy of hate!
    Fanny: Yes, I am!
  • Hypocrite: In TPOT 7, she turns against her team when she realizes that her team's quest to prevent death is what causing them to lose and lose teammates and if they keep on losing, there will be no more of them to prevent death. But, what is Fanny's solution to this problem? To willingly kill people to make her team stay in the game, thereby rendering her point for her team to stay to prevent death completely meaningless. In just the next episode, she gets mad at Donut and Pin for ganging up on her despite her offering them a truce, saying that she hates it when people betray a pact... within reason.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: Downplayed, in that it involves a Face–Heel Turn and that it ultimately contradicts the point of preventing death, but in TPOT 7, with three members of Death P.A.C.T. Again having been eliminated, Fanny parrots Lightning's realization that the team's constant efforts to prevent death have only hindered them during challenges and contributed to their losing streak, and if they keep getting put up for elimination, they'll continue to lose teammates until there's nobody around to prevent death. Unfortunately, the rest of the team refuses to take her words to heart, leading Fanny to outright state that she hates the P.A.C.T. and rebel against them. Also, having people killed to win to stay in the game is not a good solution if the whole point to stay in the game is to prevent death.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold:
    • Grouchy as she is, she goes out of her way to try and comfort Bubble in BFB 8's post-credits scene.
    • Overall, Fanny seems to have a strong sense of morality, giving Loser a What the Hell, Hero? rant for lying (albeit harmlessly) and expressing hatred towards Match for her verbal pressure towards Bubble and hypocritical actions.
    • Fanny may hate everyone and everything, but she's perfectly willing to join Death P.A.C.T. Again and helps Remote replace her batteries the moment the problem arises. Though, it becomes Downplayed after TPOT 7.
    • She is the one who calms down Lightning after he's eliminated, and promises to avenge him.
      Fanny: Lightning, please, calm down! I know you're frustrated, but this isn't you!
      Lightning: I know. I'm misbehaving. It's just- I wanted to do well, Fanny. Please, while you have the chance, try to turn this around. Please don't let this also mess your game up.
      Fanny: Thank you, Lightning. I wish you could stay. I'll try to turn things around here. I'll avenge you!
  • Mad Libs Catchphrase: "I hate [insert character or subject here]!"
  • Made of Iron: BFB 12 reveals that Fanny survived her supposed decapitation from the previous episode, and isn't shown to have trouble functioning at all.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Masculine Girl (grumpy and Hates Everyone Equally) to Lightning's Feminine Boy (sensitive and nice to everyone).
  • Only Sane Woman: Downplayed as explained above, but she is the last remaining Death P.A.C.T. Again member who recognizes how self destructive her team is in their quest to prevent death, she's the only reason they win TPOT 7, literally proving her team wrong by trading Tree's corpse for a glass pane to fix the World's Largest Oven with.
  • Perpetual Frowner: She's almost always seen with a massive frown on her face.
  • Punny Name: Her name is Fanny, and she is indeed a desk fan, but she is anything but a fan. Rather, she is quite verbal about how un-fan of everything she is.
  • Skewed Priorities: She screams "I hate lassos!" as X is taken by the Have Cots.
  • Tomboy: Mostly when compared to the other girls of iance.
  • Tomboyish Voice: Has a gruff voice, which fits her personality perfectly.
  • Wipe That Smile Off Your Face: Had her mouth torn off her face by Pin in TPOT 8, and she's been like this ever since.

A blue origami paper in an odd pentagonal shape. She's softspoken and good friends with Stapy, but she's prone to holding grudges.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: When she finds out that Match recorded footage of Stapy cheating in BFB 8's quiz and subsequently that he was eliminated, she decides to avenge him by getting into a fight with Flower to make sure iance loses the stair-climbing contest.
  • Big, Thin, Short Trio: With Marker and Stapy.
  • Graceful Loser: After the announcement of her elimination, she admits that she had a fun experience with the contestants.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: She's notable for being Woody's first kill, having torn her in half during the fight for the Liar Ball.
  • Nice Girl: Sweet and kind, though she has a rivalry with Liy and a major grudge against iance for getting Stapy eliminated.
  • Not Quite Flight: Foldy can take advantage of her thin and light body to glide on the wind.
  • Revenge Before Reason: Tries to make sure iance will lose the contest as payback for getting her best friend Stapy eliminated, even if it means risking her own team's chance of winning.

Voiced by: Satomi Hinatsu
A white picket fence gate. She's generally grumpy and critical of others to the point where she complains often, but she has good intentions and is one of the more reasonable and rational contestants. Her hinges are magnetic.
  • Ambiguous Gender Identity: In TPOT 2, Gaty implies that she's transgender in her conversation with Two (The former point lampshading her shift from brown wood to a periwinkle paint job between BFDIA and IDFB).
    Gaty: When I like being something, it's because I got to decide it for myself. Like my periwinkality! And my girl... ness.
  • Good Samaritan: She helped Book see through her now-crazy personality when it got out of hand by making her look herself up. Luckily, Book saw her mistake.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She can be grumpy and passive-aggressive, but she ultimately means well and is one of the few members of her team who doesn't hate Taco. She even tries to get Book to put herself back together as her Jerkass behavior starts to get worse.
  • Larynx Dissonance: Has a masculine voice but is female, just like her voice actor.
  • Not So Above It All: Despite being one of the rational contestants, she had no problem boasting to Four that they couldn't eliminate her because she's never been up for elimination. Four understandably blasts her in return.
    • She also cried dramatically when she thought that she would be eliminated.
  • Odd Friendship: After her talk with Two, it's implied in TPOT 8 that she's the closest to them, as they go to her for advice on the couch which is now decorated, implying they've gone there often.
  • Only Sane Woman: One of the very few members of her team who doesn’t get involved in the Taco drama. She’s also more straightforward and levelheaded compared to most of the other contestants.
  • Passive-Aggressive Kombat: Can be grumpy at times and usually complains during challenges despite not doing anything herself.
  • Smug Snake: She had no problem boasting that she couldn't be eliminated.
  • Token Good Teammate: The only person on Bleh apart from Dora who doesn't badmouth Taco at all following the events of BFB 3 when she finally escapes from the jawbreaker she was trapped in for weeks.

Voiced by: Cary Huang
A group of grass blades who often refers to himself in third person. Grassy is excitable and always eager to help, though this sometimes creates problems.
  • Character Development: Has grown to be more serious and helpful to his team, to the point of being one of the few people who even tries to do the challenge in TPOT 2.
  • Head Pet: Grassy often sits on top of Blocky's or Basketball's heads.
  • The Load: He's often a hindrance to his team, as he revealed his team's coordinates to everyone else in BFB 13 and broke part of the signal in BFB 7. Averted in TPOT 7, where he's the one to suggest using Snowball to win the challenge, although he doesn't get to enact his plan when a rampaging Robot Flower wins the challenge for them.
  • Morality Pet: To Blocky on A Better Name Than That, and Snowball on The Strongest Team on Earth.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: He furiously agreed with Blocky about Golf Ball being insufferable enough that grass can't stand her. He also beats up Two with the rest of the contestants.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: After becoming strong from punching Snowball's punching bag enough times, Snowball took him under his wing on how to be tough, now he's one of the more powerful contestants in spite of being one of the smallest.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: A Cheerful Child who's friends with The Prankster Blocky and Dumb Muscle Snowball.
  • Super-Strength: Punching Snowball's attraction enough times eventually made him strong enough to lift a Yoylemetal-ified Snowball with little effort.
  • Third-Person Person: This is how he commonly refers to himself.
    Grassy: Grassy needs respect!
  • Token Mini-Moe: Compared to everyone, he's clearly younger. He acts like a six-year-old and has a voice matching it.
  • Took a Level in Badass: In TPOT, he's quite a bit more capable than before, having the idea of using a Yoylemetal Snowball as a roof, alongside being able to lift him. Snowball takes Grassy under his wing and helps him sabotage the other teams in the following episode, and he does pretty well.

A bolt of lightning. Lightning is very good at following orders and has zapped many people. He also asks a lot of questions.
  • The Atoner: He isn't very proud of the number of people he's killed, and when the opportunity arises for him to join Death P.A.C.T (Again) at the start of TPOT he quickly takes advantage of it.
  • Blind Obedience: Almost immediately obeys the orders of Pencil and Match without arguing back.
  • Forgot About His Powers: Lightning is one of the few contestants capable of flight (and the only one that has actual limbs) but he frequently forgets about using it.
  • Harmless Electrocution: Zig-zagged. Whenever he electrocutes another contestant, it only results in stunning them, but he mentions that he’s killed “dozens” when Snowball recruits him.
  • It's All My Fault: Blames himself for his team's loss in TPOT 1 due to being unable to go back down to get his teammates, before realizing that it was really Two's fault due to them not explaining the "no going back down" rule loudly enough.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Feminine Boy (sensitive and nice to everyone) to Fanny's Masculine Girl (grumpy and Hates Everyone Equally).
  • Rage Breaking Point: In TPOT 7, Lightning realizes that Death P.A.C.T. Again's conscious efforts to keep preventing death are only causing them to lose challenges, and when he gets eliminated despite actively trying to prevent death, he loses his temper, electrocutes Two, his remaining teammates, and the members of The S!, and destroys seven prominent landmarks in Goiky.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy (regrets killing dozens of people) to Snowball's Manly Man (remorselessly murders people out of anger).
  • Shock and Awe: Naturally.
  • Verbal Tic: "To clarify..."
  • Vocal Dissonance: Has an oddly high and wavy voice despite being a guy.

Voiced by: Katherine Sun
A metal nail. Naily is argumentative and sometimes arrogant, though she has shown a soft side. She also says a lot of nail puns.
  • The Atoner: She helped Woody escape the lava and apologized for stabbing him 7 years ago.
  • Break the Cutie: It's easy to feel bad for her because she put her team up for elimination by not getting to Four on time, and she even goes as far as to blame herself for the ordeal. It's not her fault, though, since Flower sabotaged her by hammering her to the ground.
  • Character Catchphrase: Being a nail, she can slide it into catchphrases. Ex: "I nailed it!", "We gotta nail it!", etc. She later dropped it because Firey Jr. told her it was annoying.
  • Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: To Balloony in BFB 14. After he tried to dig through concrete, Naily told him that it was pointless since no one can dig through it.
  • Disney Death: In BFB 15, she's surprised to find herself alive and unmelted after drowning in lava the episode prior.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Has been known to stab other contestants. Most notably, she fatally skewers Bell in BFB 7 and immediately has the favor returned by Needle.
  • It's All My Fault: Even though it was Flower that stopped her from getting to Four and put her team up for voting, Naily acts like this because there was nothing she could do.
  • Karma Houdini: Despite climbing Bell's string, she doesn't get zapped like the others who climbed as well. Justified, as she fell off from catching her cake.
  • Mouthy Kid: She can often be snarky towards people, as shown with Balloony in BFB 14 and Basketball in TPOT 1.
  • Nice Girl: She encouraged Woody into escaping the lava, even sacrificing herself to do it, and she's normally a friendly person as long as she's not stabbing people.
  • Out of Focus: She, like Firey Jr., had barely had any focus in the series until BFB 12.
  • Playful Cat Smile: Frequently sports one.
  • Pungeon Master: Frequently makes puns, usually variations on "Nailed it!"
  • Sad Clown: Subverted. Naily enjoys joking around, but is nowhere near a pessimist and is normally cheerful.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Cannonballed into a pile of batteries. The result? The acid kills both her and Remote.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Accused of being one by Barf Bag and Firey Jr., when she said Loser deserved his elimination.

An apathetic blueberry pie. Generally easygoing and mellow, but she takes preventing death very seriously.
  • Character Tics: Has a tendency to sit in odd positions whenever she can.
  • Larynx Dissonance: Has an oddly masculine voice.
  • Made of Explodium: Is made of blueberries, which are explosive in the BFDI universe.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: She and Cake are complete opposites, Cake being In Touch with His Feminine Side and her being a Mellow Fellow. They also have voices not fitting their genders.
  • Mellow Fellow: Pie's usually very laid-back, but also very apathetic. Neither of the two times she was in the bottom two during elimination phased her.
  • Only Sane Woman: She's one of the more chill contestants, not caring much about the drama around her and being generally mellow.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: In the first episode of TPOT, she tries to guilt trip Pen into staying in Death P.A.C.T. by accusing him of being a murderer for wanting to switch teams, and when Just Not is stuck in an elevator during the challenge, she abandons them when they tell her they’re not dying.
  • They Killed Kenny Again: Apparently prone to dying so much that she needs her own personal recovery center.

Voiced by: Cindy Jiang
A white down pillow. Sometimes, she plays the role of the Know-Nothing Know-It-All; other times, she is a Comedic Sociopath.
  • Ax-Crazy: Killing people entertains her, to the point that she spent all of TPOT 3 fantasising about death and murder. In TPOT 9, she shows that all she needs to go on a killing spree against her own team is to hear "today's challenge", "two teams", and "completely wiped out", and then warping that into, "completely wipe our team out."
  • Characterization Marches On: BFB Pillow and TPOT Pillow might as well be different characters, with her BFB characterization heavily Depending on the Writer, making it unclear what sort of character she was supposed to be. Come TPOT, and her status as The Sociopath becomes well defined and settled on.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: If her arm-fluttering theory is anything to go by. She also licks Lollipop while the other contestants are trying to bring back Four, claiming "she was just hungry".
  • Comedic Sociopathy: Has moments like this. At the end of TPOT 1 she has a blank smile on her face as she walks up to Two and smacks them with a metal tray, even though all the other contestants are angry, and later in the next episode, she melts Price Tag and Drilly in acid without a single shred of remorse. According to Black Hole, she's apparently always been like this.
  • The Ditz: Visually represented at the beginning of BFB 7 where a popper made a bulge in her, showing just how empty that she is. At the start of TPOT, she's one of the main reasons why Death P.A.C.T. is unable to stay together as planned because she got distracted wandering around reading Book while everyone else was picking teams.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: After being encouraged by Book to do a good deed, she begrudgingly complies, only to vomit up cotton after she's finished because she can't handle being nice.
  • Evil Genius: A remorseless Comedic Sociopath who likes killing people, and also a Know-Nothing Know-It-All self-stylized researcher.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: When most of Death P.A.C.T gets assaulted by forks in BFB 4 and they need to get Black Hole to suck them up, Pillow volunteers to stay behind.
  • Insufferable Genius: Inverted. She isn't smart in any way but is super obnoxious and smug towards everyone she knows. Just ask poor Barf Bag.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She can be smug, insufferable, and a know-it-all, but her Heroic Sacrifice in BFB 4 shows that she does have some good in her. Though, this is likely a case of Early-Installment Weirdness, because she would eventually lose all of her redeeming qualities in favor of being an Ax-Crazy Comedic Sociopath.
  • Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Downplayed; she’s not an idiot, but she is a smart-aleck, claiming that Teardrop was making an arm-fluttering gesture to show how little she cared for Eggy and giving an in-depth explanation on how the gesture worked. She also incorrectly guesses BFB 13's "predictable" challenge.
  • Lack of Empathy: Tends to kill or attack people randomly, and she typically smiles blankly as they scream. When Remote shows optimism about Pillow's pureness, Pillow outright confirms she doesn't have a heart.
    Remote: I like to think all my friends are pure of heart, deep down.
    Pillow: Pillows don't have hearts. And, I'm not your friend. (Beat; grabs Drilly and melts them in the acid, then starts scribbling on her flipbook, smiling)
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: She shows anger in TPOT 5 when not only does Tree throw himself off the roof to avoid being thrown by Pillow, but Black Hole and Lightning brag that she's unable to throw them.
  • Reality Warper: By simply rewriting Book's definition of gravity, Pillow grants herself the ability to defy all laws of gravity.
  • The Sociopath: Outs herself as one in TPOT 2 when Remote says she used to be a friend on Death P.A.C.T., and uses it to justify herself killing Price Tag without hesitation or remorse.
    Pillow: Pillows don't have hearts. And, I'm not your friend.
  • Team Killer: In TPOT 5, Pillow actively attempts to kill all of her teammates during Cake at Stake by throwing them off of the roof, then cutting the ramen Two hoist them to. Then, in TPOT 9, she hears something about two teams and their total extinction while Two is recapping the challenge rules (due to a faulty connection censoring everything else), and immediately comes to the conclusion that the challenge is to completely kill her own team.
    Pillow: Just wanted to kill people!
  • Token Evil Teammate: Not that she had a chance to express it until after leaving the team, but Pillow is the only member of Death P.A.C.T. who has no problem with committing homicide — and in fact loves it. Either way, she's far more sadistic than anyone in Just Not.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Played for Laughs. Learning that her research of how killing people brings good luck might be wrong causes Pillow to go into a funk for a while.

A hexagonal black remote control. Remote is very competitive, which can irritate her teammates, but she usually means well.
  • Competition Freak: In Episode 7, in order to help her pacifistic team win, she impulsively sends A Better Name than That and Bleh a bomb after being remote controlled by Robot Flower and nearly making Death P.A.C.T. lose against her own will.
    • Overall, Remote seems to be far more focused on winning than on her team's goal of preventing death.
  • Hoist by Their Own Petard: When Robot Flower cuts the signal that connects her team's rocket to Remote, the bomb that Remote had set up and attempted to send them returns and causes her to explode.
  • Not in This for Your Revolution: Despite being a member of Death P.A.C.T., she's more interested in winning while the rest of her team is focused on preventing death above all, even if they lose as a result.
  • Shoot the Dog: Despite being a member of the team whose primary goal is to put an end to the contestants' constant run-ins with death, she attempts to send A Better Name Than That a bomb when they use Robot Flower to possess her and move the Liar Ball from the moon. Understandably, Pie, and Black Hole aren't happy with her attempted murder.

A mysterious, mechanical version of Flower. Like her counterpart, Robot Flower can be rather mean, but she is also cooperative and caring.
  • Action Figure Speech: Because Robot Flower lacks a face, talking is instead indicated by her petals lighting up and occasionally moving around in place.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: Sick and tired of nobody besides Basketball ever caring about her, Robot Flower wished she was the original Flower and requested to be downloaded with all information regarding her counterpart in TPOT 7 so the other contestants would finally start paying attention to her. Unfortunately, Basketball only managed to upload the first season into Robot Flower before a blackout occurred, causing Robot Flower's personality to be completely overridden with a pre-Character Development Flower and for her newfound over-abrasiveness and cruelty getting on everyone's bad side.
  • Character Development: Is more or less Flower with an autotuned voice in BFDI, but becomes an entirely different person in BFB.
  • Death of Personality: Robot Flower wanted to download all of the original Flower's memories so she could emulate her and be liked by the contestants. However, a blackout in the hotel instead wipes out Robot Flower's personality and replaces it with Flower's... from season one. This resulted in Robot Flower acting all hyper-aggressive and rude towards everyone including her Only Friend Basketball.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: In TPOT 5, she presses the self-destruct button on TV when her team starts using machines to trick others into winning the challenge. Unfortunately, the team is trapped in the submarine when it is pressed and it is revealed that Robot Flower locked the exits so everybody will die in the explosion, even Grassy. They eventually all die when their efforts to escape are in vain.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Threatens the viewers into voting for her and purposely sabotages Blocky in BFB 1, but later sacrifices her team's chance of winning in order to save them and Bleh from Remote's bomb in BFB 6.
  • Karma Houdini: In TPOT 5, she rigs the submarine her team is in to self-destruct in a fiery explosion when her team starts using machinery to trick others so they can win the competition. Aside from short-circuiting and being blown up along with her team, she doesn't suffer any consequences for it.
  • Robot Me: A mechanical version of Flower, with any relationship between them yet unknown.

  • The Chew Toy: Managed to run through the world's largest oven and retrieve a basket in "Getting Teardrop To Talk", resulting in her handle being burnt off and the deaths of everyone else on her team but Dora. When 8-Ball is crushed into fumes by the moon, she accidentally inhales him and becomes unable to speak sentences without ending them in "eight", not at all a help in a trivia-based challenge.
  • Death by Irony: Not an actual death, but she gets eliminated because she somehow was exactly 8 votes short of Donut's vote count.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Despite her showing disdain towards Taco like the majority of her team, she does show genuine concern when she gets killed in BFB 7.
  • Girliness Upgrade: After seemingly going missing as of BFB 9, she returns in BFB 13 with a pink handle she made.
  • Nice Girl: A generally nice and worrying person, apart from the beef with Taco.
  • Verbal Tic: After inhaling 8-Ball's fumes, she ends up gaining a habit of randomly saying "eight". She tries to fix it by going to rehab but ends up regularly shouting "eight" or any words that rhyme with it. This culminates in her accidentally naming her team "Team8s" in TPOT.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: She mysteriously went missing as of BFB 9, and didn't appear again until BFB 13, having gone to fume cleansing to unsuccessfully fix her Verbal Tic and make herself a new handle.

A deciduous tree who often acts as The Leader, though he himself doesn't do much, instead focusing on planning what his teammates must do.
  • Back from the Dead: An odd instance for the show in which the corpse came back to life instead of a new body being generated as well. Since Tree's corpse was used to plug up the Goiky Canal, it ended up growing back into a non-sentient tree. When Fanny went to recover him, it ended up giving his regrown corpse life again, and thus he's stuck in the Goiky Canal due to not having limbs and Black Hole being unwilling to kill and recover him. After Black Hole and Fanny decide to make the pact more focused on life than death, Marker and Fanny go out to kill him to get him unstuck.
  • Hypocrite: In "Today's Very Special Episode", he tells Pen to solve a problem on his own rather than going and asking Black Hole, saying that a true winner does his research. Immediately after, Tree asks Black Hole to solve the same problem Pen wanted to solve when a manual shows that's what he should do.
  • Informed Ability: He is supposedly the best thrower that Death P.A.C.T has according to his teammates, but he is incapable of proving this statement during BFB 9 due to being stuck inside of Bottle and therefore incapable of throwing anything.
  • The Leader: Of the two teams that he's on. Unlike Golf Ball, he does not act like a bossy-bot.
  • Only Sane Man: Is the most serious of his team, and is one of the few objects that doesn't have completely twisted logic.
  • Smart Jerk and Nice Moron: Has this dynamic with Pen. Pen is sweet and carefree, but is prone to making stupid decisions, while Tree is serious and critical, but has more common sense.

A flatscreen television. TV rarely shows any personality, instead displaying statistics and data relevant to what is happening onscreen, either willingly or when prompted to. However, he does seem rather observant and intelligent, and he sticks up for his fellow mechanical minds.
  • Ascended Extra: He doesn't get enough votes to join BFDIA, but Firey says he should be the host since he resembles the Announcer and is spared from the LOL as a result.
  • Dreadful Musician: His first Cake at Stake song in BFDIA 2 isn't anything to write home about, and his second one in that episode is an earsplitting mess. His attempt to make a good Cake at Stake song in BFDIA 7 is just him slamming his face onto a piano. It all results in him getting sent to the TLC despite not being a contestant.
  • The Faceless: Rarely uses his screen to project his face, usually displaying footage of the surrounding area to help his team with challenges or expressing emotions through video clips.
  • Retractable Appendages: He's able to hide his legs inside his stand.

A wad of blue fluff who can spawn an arm at will. Winner used to be part of a variety duo with the similarly-named Loser, but eventually faded into obscurity when he went solo and became a star. In contrast to their old partner, they aren't too huge on being in the spotlight nowadays and does not like special treatment.
  • Bizarre Alien Biology: More like Bizarre Object Biology, but, they eat by absorbing food into their body by jamming it into their left side. They can also taste food that way as well. They also have a single hand that they can retract at will.
  • Double Standard: Clock fanatically obsesses over them because they used to be famous, but they make it apparent that this is unwanted. They accuse Two of following the same double standard in making a slight exception for Clock's elimination, but Two genuinely just wants the two to patch things up.
  • Foil: To Loser. Where Loser is incredibly popular, Winner is a virtual unknown. Decided not to name their team after themself, unlike Loser, who happily accepted the moniker. They used to be Those Two Guys with him, but he broke out and became his own star.
  • Non-Human Non-Binary: Is non-binary and is a wad of fluff.
  • Non-Indicative Name: One of the few characters who isn’t named after what object they are. Winner is a pile of fluff, previously used in the first season to represent members of a winning team.
  • Only Sane Man: Winner becomes the only rational thinker of The S upon Clock's elimination, and one could argue that they were this trope even before that given the Loony Fan tendencies of the latter.
  • Remember the New Guy?: As a true fan of Loser, Clock is easily able to recognize his long-forgotten partner when nobody else knows who they are and spill their backstory.
  • Retractable Appendages: They may look like the average Armless Biped contestant but Winner can extend a single arm out of their body.
  • Shrinking Violet: Compared to Loser, they actively try to not be an attention hog, and when Clock tries to butter them up, they start to get nervous and try to back out of the situation. The prospect of being made to perform on stage again makes them particularly uncomfortable.
  • Sixth Ranger: The second recommended character to join the series as a result of a poll. Bar last-minute fellow newbie Price Tag, every other TPOT contestant is a veteran of BFB.
  • Token Minority: One of the few contestants that is non-binary.
