This article is about the relationships and interactions between Balloon and the other characters.
Balloon has been hated by contestants because of his cunning and manipulative nature, as well as his infamous voice actor's hack incident. Almost all characters distrust Balloon and look at him as a threat. However, once Balloon returned for Inanimate Insanity II, he began to change into a better person and tries to redeem himself with the other players, though it's very slow moving as a lot of players remember what he did and refuse to forgive him.
