Summary
The episode opens with Geoff trying to explain the competition to the others, but he constantly gets interrupted by Jack's and Gavin's complaints about who's podium is who's, with Michael and Ray being the only to identifiable blocks. Gavin decides to explain the competition, and says the first two people to go are the people who can spawn a chicken from throwing eggs, which ends up being him and Ray. However, Ryan decides to reset everyone's health and food bars by killing them. This leads to Michael respawning in the middle of nowhere due to an obstructed bed. Both of them proceed to the arena where Ray promptly beats Gavin, and wins two apples from his chest. Ray then faces off against Jack, whom he also beats, and gets 16 snowballs as a result. Ray's luck dwindles when facing Geoff, as Ray isn't at full health, and loses.

Geoff obtains a Potion of Instant Damage from the fight, which he tries to use against Michael, but ends up drinking it himself. Michael then obtains two cobwebs, and proceeds to fight Gavin. Michael manages to fake Gavin out by throwing his potion of harming at him and sneaking around to kill him. Michael obtains bread, then heads to the arena to fight Ray. In the fight he lays down two cobwebs, which Ray soon gets stuck in. However, both of them kill each other, so no one wins. Geoff and Jack then face off. However, Michael is distracted by a second Ray in the world, with the same name and skin, a fact that Ray, Ryan, and Gavin also pick up on.While the four were distracted, Geoff was knocked out of the ring. Gavin tries to fight Jack, but is distracted by the Ghost Ray. However, Jack hit the wrong button, letting Gavin win. His prize is an empty chest. Ray then promptly beats Gavin, and finds the first gold block. Gavin then goes off to play with Ghost Ray, while Geoff beat Ray and gets Flint Coal.

Michael storms the arena and beats Geoff, but gets nothing in return, and fights Gavin, who wasn't aware that the fight has started. However, despite the early lead by Michael, Gavin manages to land himself in the cobwebs and beat him, shocking everyone.They speculate that the cobwebs provide some sort of combat enhancement. For his efforts, Gavin won a piece of the tower, but is beaten by Ray afterwards. To the other competitor's dismay, Ray finds a wooden sword. Using it, Ray quickly takes care of Jack, Geoff, Michael, and Gavin, also obtaining another gold block. Geoff manages to break Ray's winning streak by killing him, but he goes down as well. Michael then beats Gavin. Ray soon re-enters the ring and beats Michael, claiming iron boots. After beating Jack, Ray is left with almost no health and no regenerative abilities, which gives Geoff an easy win. Geoff obtains a gold chest plate, which he uses to defend himself against all but Ray. Ray faces Jack, but loses. Gavin explains a glitch in which he could see the fight, but Ray was out of the ring on his screen and it looked like he was fighting Ghost Ray. Jack wins a piece of gravel, but then loses to Geoff.

Geoff obtains his piece of the tower and quickly erects it. Michael then beats Geoff and puts himself on the board with a gold block. Michael then beats Gavin and received a cobweb. Ray beats Michael, but can't beat Jack do to a glitch making him invincible. The glitch is discovered in Jack's fight with Geoff, so everyone leaves and rejoins, and the fight between him and Geoff is restarted.Geoff beats Jack, but is defeated by Michael. Michael, to everyone's shock, obtains a stone sword, which he uses to defeat a distracted Gavin. In the ensuing fights, Michael obtains two more gold blocks. In his last fight with Ray, he beats him and obtains the final piece of the Tower of Pimps, claiming victory.

Victory Celebration
Back in Achievement City, everyone basks at how Michael gets to keep the Tower for the second week in a row. As all of the other Achievement Hunters shower Michael with various objects, Gavin sets fire to Michael's house and breaks the wood block holding the lava in Jack's home. The rest soon notice the damage and try to contain it, as Ray sneaks off and activates Plan G, destroying Achievement City.

Trivia

 * To date, this is the most glitch ridden episode.


 * This is also the longest episode to date?


 * They make references to Caleb Denecour several times during the video


 * Jack was the only competitor not to put himself on the board


 * Ryan couldn't compete due to him switching up the items in each chest and therefore would be the most likely to know where the gold blocks are
