The Contest

"Angela, have you heard that new number one hit song? I think it's called something like "Dance, Dance, Don't Stop Dancing"."

- Tom

The Contest is the twenty-fourth episode of the first season of Talking Tom and Friends.

Can the tech-obsessed gang possibly give up technology? Let's see who lasts the longest...

After when the power goes out, the gang try to not use technology for a whole day. And who ever wins will go to an island.

Plot
A blackout occurs in Tom's garage. Afterwards, Tom explains that the only reason that it was so traumatizing was that they were too attached to their technology. Then, in the mail, Tom finds an invitation to an event on Floppy Disk Island, but realizes they only sent one ticket.

Tom proposes a contest. The person who makes it the longest without technology wins the ticket. He stowed all the technology in the bathroom.

Immediately after the contest starts, Ginger reminds Hank of a new TV show that came out, so Hank runs to the TV and watches the show, eliminating him.

Meanwhile, the lack of music has really mentally affected Angela, making her attracted to a mosquito, claiming it's music. Then, Hank tempts Ginger in visiting an online candy store, telling him there's a two-for-one sale. Ginger eventually takes the tablet away from him, and Ginger was eliminated.

Then, Tom and Ben target Angela. They tempt her into listening to a new song. This worked, and Angela was eliminated.

Ben hears a couple dings from his electronics, notifying him that there's a new software update available. The temptation gets the better of him and he is eliminated. Tom was thought to be the winner, but Angela discovers he was listening to a basketball game in a wireless earbud the whole time.

Ben was the real winner, and began packing his things. However, they were all electronics, and none of them were on the packing list. Plus, the event was a no-technology event. Ben left the door without reading the list, and he had a miserable time on Floppy Disk Island.

Trivia

 * Running gag: Every time one of the characters gets eliminated from the contest, the big red words "FAIL" appear on the screen.
 * Ginger mentioned a TV show called "Crime and Punishment," which could probably be a reference to the TV show with the same name. However, it's likely a coincidence, since Hank mentioned a character called "Hillbilly Jack," which doesn't exist in the reality show.
