| —OJ And Paintbrush, The Shame of the Name | ||
The Thinkers (formerly Yellow Team, later nicknamed The New Thinkers) is one of the three/two teams in Inanimate Insanity Invitational, first facing against The Pinkers and The Sinkers and now just The NEW Pinkers. It was formed in "Stranded in Paradise". They have won three challenges, and one of the former members is still competing so far. In "The Shame of the Name", the name was changed from Yellow Team to The Thinkers.
The team formerly consisted of OJ, Paintbrush, Yin-Yang, The Floor, Silver Spoon, and Candle. As of the rearrangement of teams, it consisted of Yin-Yang, The Floor, Candle, Goo, Clover, and Nickel.
During the merge, the team became an alliance consisting of Yin-Yang, Paintbrush, Silver Spoon, The Floor, Candle, and Cabby (who was never in the original Thinkers nor the NEW Thinkers), dubbed The New Old Thinkers. Silver Spoon and Candle both switched sides to the Looney Balloonies, eliminating The Floor in the process. Balloon later flipped on his alliance, joining The New Old Thinkers. However, he later flipped on the alliance and eliminated Yin-Yang, which means the alliance technically dissolved, as Cabby was the sole member remaining.
