Clue: sponges
Jeff tells the panelists that if one of them figured out the word of honor, one of the words on the It Board, Casey would get slimed.
Beginning with Carlos, the questions begin, and they get their clue during Carlos's second turn. Ciara gets the word up just before the round ends. Since they were stumped, Casey wins the prize.

Secret Slime Action: shrugging your shoulders
Jeff tells the panelists that if they performed the secret slime action, they would hear a warning sound and get slimed and an audience member named Lina would win a prize.
They get a clue from their boxes during Gracie's second turn, but are unsure of what it is, thinking it was rice or couscous. Casey wins the prize.

Figure It Out 2012 - Gracie Dzienny Gets Slimed
The round begins with James, the clue comes during Ciara's turn, and they figure out the word diving. Gracie gets slimed for performing the secret slime action and Lina wins a Figure It Out triangle messenger bag.
The round ends, but the panelists are given final guesses where they have to try and fill in the remaining blanks. Gracie gets the word pool.
Ciara's final guess: swim up stream by diving into chocolate
Carlos's final guess: build up muscle by diving into fishbowls
Gracie's final guess: pick up food by diving into a pool
James's final guess: shows up dudes by diving in a pool
They do not figure it out, so Casey wins the trip, tells them her talent, and Jeff explains the clues to them. Casey tells them that she picked up thirty pounds which was also the all-time record. She then proceeds to showing them.
First they are to weigh her in, she soaks up as much grits as she can, then they weigh her again and subtract the two totals to see how many pounds of grits she soaked up. Weighing in, Casey is 117.3. Only getting ten seconds, she dives in. She is weighed again after the dive and comes to a total of 131.5, meaning she soaked up 14.2 pounds.
Jeff tells Carlos and James to jump in, and they do with a time limit of ten seconds too.
Avery[]
Avery's talent is "scores the most goals with floating puck".
The only one word on the It Board (to which Carlos complains) is "with".
Round One[]
Prize: K2 rollerblades and knee, elbow and wrist guards
Clue: floaties
Jeff reminds the panelists that the word of honor was still in place.
The round begins with Carlos and continues on. They get their clue during Carlos's second turn and figure out the word floating. The round ends and Avery wins the prize.
Round Two[]
Prize: Mobo cruiser
Recap Board: The Recap Board keeps up with all of the clues the panelists figured out from the questions they asked.
- It's a sport
- Uses his hands
- Doesn't involve yoga
Clue: a helmet
Secret Slime Action: thinking about the clues
Jeff tells them about the secret slime action again and the round begins with James. They get a clue during Ciara's turn and she figures out the word goals, which was also the word of honor, so Avery gets slimed. Just before the round ends, Ciara also gets the word scores. Avery wins the prize.
Round Three[]
Grand Prize: Seven day Norwegian cruise
Recap Board
- [Avery] Does it every day
- [Avery] Doesn't hold his breath
Clue: a Clue Force 3 member draws a hockey stick and puck on a board and points an arrow to the puck
The round begins with Ciara and Jeff interrupts to tell them to "think about your clues, think about those clues". Just as Ciara is about to ask another question, the panelists are slimed and Jeff tells them they had all performed the secret slime action. Antonio, the audience member, wins a Figure It Out track jacket.
During Gracie's turn, they are given their final clue and they figure out the word puck. The round ends and the panelists are given the chance for final guesses.
Gracie's final guess: score[s] winning goals with floating puck
James's final guess: score[s] magical goals with floating puck
Ciara's final guess: scores many goals with floating puck
Carlos's final guess: scores unique goals with floating puck
They are all wrong, and Avery tells them his talent, revealing that Ciara was the closest with the word "many". Avery gets cleaned up before he shows them his talent. Jeff tells them that Avery is an international junior champ, shocking Carlos.
Avery plays Gracie, but she gets scared and Avery wins. Avery then plays Carlos, who almost gets a goal, and wins again.
