  • Did the objects have homes before Hotel OJ? Or did they live in the wild? If they did have homes, why didn't MePhone4 send them there?!
    • Taylor said on Tumblr shortly before his firing that it wasn't important and therefore not explained. But if you ask me, I think they sleep in a similar situation to the campers in Total Drama where they sleep in cabins provided by MePhone.
  • How could the Objects breathe in space without even wearing helmets? Can't they put on a spacesuit?!
    • Object anatomy isn't identical to human anatomy. Just look at Test Tube. She literally consists of nothing but a glass container with a green fluid in it. No organs in sight when the liquid is dumped out. If Test Tube can be alive without any organs, why can't other objects?
  • Where are the dead MePhones if they're not in Purgatory Mansion?
    • They're just destroyed. They are machines, not living beings.
    • But then where are their bodies??? And where do they go when they die???
      • That's the point. They probably don't have souls to begin with, as cruel as that may sound.
      • Oof. Those poor phones. I need to touch grass.
  • How in the world did the season 2 eliminated contestants up until episode 7 of season 2 survive being trapped in a locked closet for several months? How did they eat, drink, or have bathroom breaks?
  • How in the world do the characters survive falling from unimaginable heights and get back up like it is no big deal? Why do they even have a thing known as the Fist Thingy to punch them so hard to make them fly across the ocean of an unknown distance in the first place?
    • It's possible that Blunt Force Trauma doesn't affect objects the same it does for humans. However, it's hard to understand how objects like Test Tube and OJ don't shatter on impact.
  • In A Lemony Lesson, MePhone4 states "speaking of elimination, and I don't mean my bowel movements", which would mean he poops. But how does he poop if he's a phone?
    • Bowel movements and similar things weren't really brought up after early season 1, so it might just be a case of Early-Installment Weirdness.
    • But then again, he does eat...
  • How old are the contestants? I'm assuming they have to be teens at the youngest but not older than MePhone.
  • How on earth is MePhone able to eat?
    • Maybe it’s like Vision from Wandavision, where it just phases through his screen.
  • How exactly was Cabby’s library able to get built? I find it hard to believe that MePhone was able to generate a building that large, and it was confirmed that he had no money to give to Cabby for winning the season.
