The MeLife App is an app on MePhone4 that helps recreate dead contestants when they die. The app was first displayed in Breaking The Ice, although it is inferred that this app has been used throughout the whole series. Some characters cannot be recovered.
In The Series[]
MeLife was first showcased by MePhone4 in Breaking The Ice by downloading and regenerating previously shattered OJ. When a character's icon is selected, a silhouette of their main color appears, and then downloads the contestant from bottom to top. The MeLife recovery app has presumably been used to recreate every dead contestant after they disappeared.
Faults[]
Bow and Dough are the only two contestants who cannot be recovered by MeLife. As explained by MePhone4 in A Kick in the Right Direction, Bow cannot be recovered since she died while MePhone4 was dead as well, not allowing a notification to pass through, and thus, her recovery is faulted. Even when attempted to recover, Bow's silhouette will partially download, but then reverse and turn to static. As a result, Bow's soul resides as a ghost in Purgatory Mansion, as shown in Let 'Er R.I.P. Dough cannot be recovered after Yin-Yang ate him as MePhone4 didn't get a chance to create a MeLife icon for him. His soul also resides as a ghost in Purgatory Mansion, also shown in Let 'Er R.I.P.
Bow's recovery-block has been further explained by the show crew, in stating: "at the end of season one, Bow’s recovery alert went to the MePhone device that was destroyed. The new body for MePhone did not receive a proper notification and the connection was severed. She died when MePhone was dead, and that physical MePhone never came back."
As seen in Out of Body Experience, if MePhone attempts to recover too many contestants at once, their consciousnesses and bodies can accidentally be incorrectly swapped with others being recovered at the same time.
Those Unable to be Recovered[]
- Bow - As MePhone4 didn’t receive a notification that she was dead due to him dying consecutive to her, she couldn’t be recovered.
- Dough - Dough was eaten by Yin-Yang before MePhone4 was able to create a MeLife icon for him, rendering him unrecoverable.
Trivia[]
- The app has had multiple design changes throughout the series.
- In Breaking the Ice, it just shows square portraits of the contestants on a 5x3 grid.
- In A Kick in the Right Direction, it shows round icons with blue borders for the contestants on a 4x3 grid. There is now text at the top saying "MeLife™" and arrows on the sides implying that there are multiple pages.
- In Hatching the Plan, the icons are now colored silhouettes of the contestants' bodies. The background is now darker and the arrows on the sides have been removed as this interface seems to allow you to scroll rather than switch pages.
