text: In return for their appearance on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, the celebrities are asked to nominate a charity to which the producers, ITV Studios, make donations. The celebrities themselves are also paid a fee to compensate them for possible loss of earnings while they are in the jungle. The producers of the show keep the precise details of the celebrities' contracts private, prompting much speculation from the media. The money is raised by allowing viewers to vote by phone, text message, or the "red button" (a colloquialism popular in the UK for TV interactive services) for the celebrity they would like to complete a "Bushtucker Trial" — a physical task usually involving snakes, spiders or other creepy-crawlies found in the jungle — and, later in each series, to vote for the celebrity they would like to see win the show. The last remaining celebrity after all others have been evicted is declared the winner of the show, and is branded "King/Queen of the Jungle".

text: Bushtucker trial

text: Bushtucker trials are used in the show to allow the contestants to gain food and treats for camp. Bushtucker Trials take two formats: eating trials, or physical/mental tasks.

text: In the eating trials, contestants are required to eat a variety of different "jungle" foods. Each dish successfully eaten will gain the contestants one star, which equals one meal for camp (although the number of meals per star can vary). These trials generate the most viewer responses according to the ITV website.[citation needed] The foods that are required to be eaten can include: crickets (in a variety of forms, such as cooked into biscuits, blended into drinks or eaten alive or dead), green ants, mealworms, witchetty grub, roasted spider or tarantulas, kangaroo testicles, kangaroo penis, kangaroo vaginal parts, crocodile penis, cockroach (prepared in various ways such as being cooked into biscuits, blended into drinks, eaten alive or dead). Other past foods include beach worms, bull's tongues, the anus of various animals, vomit fruits, cooked pigs' brains, various animal testicles, raw fish eyes, sheep eyes, blended rats or mice tails.

text: The second type of challenge is more of a physical or mental task that requires the contestants to perform activities to gain stars. These can include searching through dung, going through tunnels, negotiating obstacles on high wires, or performing other tasks.

text: Dingo Dollar Challenge/Dingo Dimes

text: One way of camp can earn treats is by doing extra tasks in Bushtucker trials or in general. Dingo Dimes can be used in the vending machine in Croc Creek. Dingo Dimes only featured in the 2015 series.

text: Another way camp can earn treats is to do what is known as the "Dingo Dollar Challenge". This involves two or more celebrities going into the jungle to perform a task that releases an item to open a container with an amount of dingo dollars. Once that has been completed and the dollars have been retrieved, it is taken to a small woodshack shop, with shopkeeper 'Kiosk Keith'. They can exchange the dollars for a necessity such as a hammock or a treat such as chocolate chip cookies. Kiosk Keith calls camp and the celebrities then have a question usually relating to a celebrity or a piece of trivia. The "Celebrity Chest" was abandoned for the first time in the 2012 series, in favour of the Dingo Dollar Challenge, which involves the celebrities collecting 'dingo dollars' and subsequently answering a question correctly in order to win a treat for the camp, if they win they will receive their prize however if the celebrities get it wrong, Kiosk Keith takes the dingo dollars and shuts up shop, leaving nothing for the camp.

text: Formerly, 'The Celebrity Chest' had a question with a choice of answers, similar to the Dingo Dollar Challenge, the two celebrities who took part in the challenge would bring the chest back to camp and collaborate over the question with the other camp members. If correct, they would win a treat, if incorrect, they would be told what the treat was.

text: In Dingo Dollars if the camp members answer correctly they get a choice of two treats.

text: Filming location

text: The first series of the show was filmed near Cairns, in Queensland, Australia.[2] Since the second series, the programme has been filmed in Springbrook National Park, near Murwillumbah, New South Wales, Australia.

text: Inside the entrance to the filming location is an open area allocated to buildings which accommodate on-site medical facilities, containers for the storage of props, and other back-stage facilities. Families and friends of the celebrities are housed here each morning during evictions. From this area, a restricted access road climbs to the site of the studios. The road then heads down into a valley via four-wheel drive access to the set of the show.

text: Some of these areas are viewable from Google Earth, although it is difficult to view the suspension bridges and open-air studio that Ant & Dec broadcast from. While the roof of the main building is bright red, when filming is out of season, this whole area is covered with hessian to obscure the aerial view.[clarification needed] The creeks and camp areas are situated directly below the main suspension bridges. As they are so close to the celebrities, the crew have to be careful during filming to keep voices and music down. Many of the Bushtucker Trials are not performed here; in fact, some are performed well away from the area.

text: Once out of the jungle, the contestants stay at the five-star hotel Palazzo Versace Australia.[3] The health and well-being of the celebrities and crew are looked after by medic Bob McCarron and his team from EMS. McCarron is also responsible for all of the creatures and food in the challenges.

text: Popularity and criticism

text: The finals of the second and third UK series were seen by 12.73 and 14.99 million people respectively[citation needed] — in both cases well over half of all people watching television in the country at the time.

text: The site in which the celebrities stay appears to be open to the elements, but is largely covered by sheets above the view of the cameras. In one episode, a celebrity had to swim in a swamp apparently infested with crocodiles. Marksmen were shown ready to shoot the animals if they attacked. In actuality, the area where this was filmed does not have crocodiles because it is too far south.

text: In Series 9 it was revealed that Katie Price was being paid almost four times as much as the other contestants, which sparked some criticism. It was also reported that, as a result, cash-strapped ITV were unable to provide any more money for the series, and that the quality of the trials had gone down.[4]

text: Controversies

text: ITV apologised in 2006 after confusion over the instructions for telephone and red-button interactive voting led to allegations in the media that the wrong person had been evicted in the run-off vote in Series 6 between Toby Anstis and Dean Gaffney.[5]

text: The show was forced to enhance its procedures after Ofcom found that after complaints, on 23 November 2006 episode, the show had breached Rule 1.16 of the Broadcasting Code for airing bad language before the watershed.[6]

text: 30 November 2006 episode was ruled to have breached Rule 2.2 of the Broadcasting Code after an investigation launched as part of the wider UK television public voting controversy. Due to late running, seven percent of phone and text votes for that episode of the show were not counted, although this did not affect the result.[7]

text: Sarah Matravers blamed the show for the breakdown of her relationship with contestant Marc Bannerman after he flirted with Cerys Matthews in Series 7.[8] Matthews and Bannerman later alleged the show footage had been edited by ITV to look like more than it was.[9]

text: Former Sex Pistols manager, Malcolm McLaren, who was due to appear on Series 7 but pulled out at the last minute, alleged that the show and the choice of winner was fixed, and the trials posed no real danger. He alleged that the show doctor told him that "'Things are so safe, I would send my own kids in to do the show'. There is nothing bad in there. They're hoodwinking the public".[10]

text:
ITV apologised in 2009 for not having properly advised the contestants in Series 9 of the relevant Australian legislation regarding animal cruelty.[11] Gino D'Acampo and Stuart Manning were charged by New South Wales Police after RSPCA Australia complained over their killing and eating of a rat during the show.[12]
In 2012, the decision by Nadine Dorries to enter the show was the source of criticism, which led to her suspension from the Conservative Party due to allegations she did not seek permission from the party whip Andrew Mitchell, resulting in an inquiry by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.[13]

text:
The fifteenth series saw Ferne McCann eat a live water spider as part of a bushtucker trial. Ofcom reportedly received 694 complaints from the public over allegations of 'animal cruelty for entertainment'. ITV also received a further 500 complaints. In January 2016, it was revealed no further action would be taken.[14][15]
Ant was accused of racism following a joke during the show aimed at the Australian crew, which saw Ant joke that they get "paid in..." following a word that was construed by many viewers as "abos" an offensive term for Aboriginal Australians. A spokesperson later responded, stating that Ant had actually said "Avo's which is short for avocados".[16]
Viewers regularly complained that camp mate Iain Lee was the subject of bullying and isolation from other camp mates during the seventeenth series, and there were concerns raised as to the adverse affect this could have on his mental health. There have been calls for Rebekah Vardy to be cut as a mental health ambassador, due to her alleged role in the 'bullying'. On the ITV show Good Morning Britain the day after her eviction, she defended herself for remarks she made about Iain in Extra Camp, the ITV2 spin-off series stating that she was she "under pressure", and that they were taken out of context. After his eviction from the camp, Dennis Wise also claimed on Good Morning Britain that he and Iain were on friendly terms, and insisted that ITV would not allow bullying on the show. He latter accused of show of 'editing him' to look like a bully. Following his third place eviction, Iain directly addressed his relationship those accused of 'picking on him', stating that he has "loves them" and that there's "no beef between [them]". He also addressed claims that he had a "game plan", stating that he was just being himself.[17][18][19][20][21][22]

text: I'm a Celebrity: Extra Camp (previously I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW!) is a companion show, broadcast on ITV2 in the UK and on UTV Ireland in the Republic of Ireland. It features behind-the-scenes footage of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and shows the emotional responses of the contestants after they have been voted off.

text: Series 1 to 4 was filmed completely live in the UK and series 5–8 were filmed mainly live in Australia with a live co-presenter in the UK. Since series 9, the show has been filmed completely live in Australia with occasional celebrity interviews based in London, shown through webcam.

text: History

text: In the first series, the show was presented by Irish TV presenter Louise Loughman. In series 2–3, the show was presented by Mark Durden-Smith and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson. In series 4, Palmer-Tomkinson was absent and Durden-Smith was the only host. For the fifth series, Palmer-Tomkinson returned to present the show. Durden-Smith did not, as he decided to spend time with his children instead. He was replaced by Matt Brown. Palmer-Tomkinson did not return for series 6.

text: In series 6, Brendon Burns initially presented the show, but left after three episodes. This led to Durden-Smith returning for the rest of the series, where he presented from the UK. He was joined by new presenters Kelly Osbourne and Jeff Brazier (briefly Steve Wilson before Brazier took over), who presented from the jungle in Australia.[33] Also this series, a 5pm teatime programme, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! Exclusive, ran each weekday on ITV. It was co-hosted by series 5 runner-up Sheree Murphy and Phillip Schofield in 2006. It did not return for a second series.

text: For series 7–8, Matt Willis and his wife Emma took over from the previous hosts, Kelly Osbourne and Jeff Brazier, in Australia. Because they were having a child in early 2009, they did not return to present series 9. Durden-Smith also presented the show, from the UK, for the final time.

text: Series 9 to 10 saw new presenter Caroline Flack take over with roving reporter Joe Swash, email/people reporter Russell Kane, and a panel of celebrity pundits, which changed approximately every three to five days. For series 11, Flack left in order to present another ITV2 show, The Xtra Factor, and was replaced by Laura Whitmore. Swash and Kane both stayed on for the eleventh series.

text: On 16 June 2012, it was announced that Kane would not return to Get Me Out of Here! NOW!.[34] He was replaced by stand-up comic Rob Beckett.[35] All three presenters returned to present the thirteenth and fourteenth series of the show.

text: Due to tour commitments, Beckett did not return for Series 15. He was replaced by comedian David Morgan.[36]

text: On 14 April 2016, Laura Whitmore stated that she would not be returning to the Jungle. On 31 May 2016 during an interview on Up Late with Rylan, Morgan confirmed that he would not be returning to the series due to other work commitments. They were replaced by Vicky Pattison, Stacey Solomon and Chris Ramsey.

text: On 13 April 2017, Pattison and Ramsey both stated on social media that they would not be returning to the show in 2017. It was confirmed that 2016 winner Scarlett Moffatt was announced as a new presenter in September 2017 and will join long-running presenter Joe Swash on the new series.[37] It was also confirmed that Joel Dommett would join the presenting lineup.

text: Presenters

text: Various TV presenters and comedians have hosted the show since it began in 2002, with Joe Swash having presented the most series, at nine.

Ben's secret identity is revealed to the entire world, and he is now a superhero loved everywhere by kids and teenagers, but distrusted by many adults. Kevin and Gwen find out who revealed Ben's secret and where he lives, and the three go to "pay him a visit". The informant turns out to be a young boy named Jimmy Jones, who has followed Ben's exploits ever since he was ten-years old. With Jimmy's help, Ben and company discover a series of alien attacks in Florida. The unknown alien steals a nuclear device from a prototype interstellar rocket. They follow the alien to his ship, which he intends to launch using the nuke, which would destroy central Florida. Ben fights him as Spider-monkey, but proves to be too strong for him, so Ben turns into Ultimate Spidermonkey, with the Ultimatrix, defeating the alien with ease. Once defeated, the alien, Bivalvan, reveals he is from the Andromeda Galaxy who was kidnapped by an alien named Aggregor. He is left restrained, with assurance that the Plumbers will be along to bring him back home. Ben reluctantly returns to school with some encouragement from Julie. The students greet him with applause, including his old bullies Cash and JT. Meanwhile, Bivalvan is found and recaptured by Aggregor.

After trashing a Plasma Beam Tank belonging to the Forever Knights, Ben decides he needs to be in three places at once: 1) go to Julie's tennis game, 2) He has to fight the Forever Knights with Kevin, and 3) see the Sumo Slammers 3D movie. Using Echo Echo, he divides himself into three copies and transforms back into human form, creating three of himself. However, each is one part of his personality: one is logical, one is sensitive, and one is immature and insensitive. The sensitive Ben goes with Kevin to the museum, the insensitive Ben stays to watch Julie's match, and the logical Ben goes to see Sumo Slammers. Insensitive Ben proceeds to embarrass Julie while sensitive Ben cannot properly fight. When the Forever Knights steal a Aztec Battle Armor, Ben calls in his other selves for assistance, only to quickly realize that none of them are good fighters alone. He recombines into one and uses Lodestar to separate the armor, destroying it. Ben tries to apologize to Julie, which she almost accepts, until he admits he already went to see the Sumo Slammers movie when she suggests they go see it. Furious with Ben, Julie storms off with Gwen and Kevin right behind her leaving him alone to repent for what he has done in order to gain back their trust.

Ben's enemies are targeting his parents now that he's famous. Max, unable to deal with them alone following a fight with Sevenseven, has to enlist Ben's aid. Vulkanus, Charmcaster, and Zombozo try to attack Ben's dad, Carl, but Ben, Gwen, and Kevin intercept them. Realizing that, as a team, Ben and his friends are too strong to beat, Zombozo decides to "divide and conquer". He kidnaps Ben's mother, Sandra, knocking out Gwen who tried to protect her, and hides her in a carnival to lure the team out and separate them, but Ben and Kevin manage to beat Vulkanus and Charmcaster respectively, with Ben using Ultimate Big Chill. Gwen is left to fight Zombozo, and briefly uses her Anodite form to intimidate him into leaving the Tennyson family alone and to spread the word to every other villain.

While Gwen and Kevin are fighting each other about bad driving teaching of Kevin, Ben's celebrity status lands him in a starring role in a video game. Using motion capture technology, they record the moves of his various alien forms to integrate them into the game. In reality, however, the video game offer is a ruse by TV reporter Will Harangue and his assistant Oliver as part of his plan to create a robot to defeat Ben. After defeating Ben twice and trashing his reputation, Harangue challenges Ben to a final showdown on live TV. Unable to defeat the robot conventionally, Ben realizes what Harangue has done and uses Nanomech, the one alien he couldn't get data on, to destroy the robot from within.

A turtle-like alien is causing a rampage in Bellwood. After managing to draw Ben out, who uses Ultimate Big Chill against him, and once Gwen convinces them to use the translators in their badges, he explains that he determined this to be the easiest method of finding Ben. The alien, named Galapagus, tells of how he escaped from Aggregor alongside four other abducted aliens: Bivalvan, P'andor, Andreas and Ra'ad. Aggregor had taken them each from their own home worlds in a plot to permanently absorb all of their unique abilities. Though the aliens escaped from Aggregor's spaceship, they crash-landed on Earth. After Ben's Ultimatrix scans Galapagus' DNA, he arranges for the Plumbers to get Galapagus back to his home planet. Unfortunately for Galapagus, Aggregor was impersonating the Plumber, and recaptures him.

P'andor (one of the aliens who were captured by Aggregor) offers a huge cash reward to anyone who can break him out of his containment suit. Kevin decides to take the job, only to back out upon learning that P'andor is highly radioactive. Ben tries to stop them as Ultimate Humuongosaur, but he manages to escape. Since Kevin has the ability to open the suit using his Osmosian powers to absorb Taedenite, P'andor tricks him into cutting it open. Free from his containment, P'andor begins feeding on all the energy he can find, making his way to a nuclear power plant. Ben uses Ultimate Cannonbolt and with Kevin's help is able to trap P'andor back inside his suit, and deliver him to a pair of Plumbers who offer to take him back to his home world. Unfortunately, Aggregor intercepts the Plumbers' ship in space and recaptures P'andor.

After ambushing Ben at his house, Ra'ad (one of the aliens who were captured by Aggregor) after a short fight is thrown into a pool by Jetray. Electrocuted, he awakes in Los Selodad and blames Ben for letting Aggregor recapture the other four aliens. Aggregor has been tracking them through the Ultimatrix as a homing beacon each time it scans one of them. While trying to resist being scanned by the Ultimatrix, Ra'ad causes it to malfunction, trapping both his and Ben's consciousnesses in the same body and turning off the Ultimatrix. When Aggregor comes to capture Ra'ad, Gwen uses a nonverbal teleportation spell after a brief fight. Despite Ra'ad's protests, Gwen and Kevin reactivate the Ultimatrix, and separate them. In doing so, they alert Aggregor to their location. Ra'ad flees, leaving the others to be wiped out by the Osmosian. After Kevin scolds Ra'ad for his cowardice, he decides to surrender himself to save Ben, and is recaptured by Aggregor. After the battle, Ben swears that he will do whatever it takes to save the captured aliens.

Ben saves actress Jennifer Nocturne from a group of thugs and she is immediately smitten with him, much to Julie's chagrin. However, Ben's only interest is in Captain Nemesis, Ben's hero, who shows up moments after Ben defeats the thugs. Nemesis was actually responsible for hiring the thugs, having hoped to boost publicity by rescuing Jennifer. He tries again by releasing a group of dangerous robots led by Computron, only to be upstaged by Ben. After Ben casually comments on having defeated more of the robots than Nemesis, Will Harangue twists his comments into doubts about Nemesis' abilities. Nemesis decides to hold a friendly test of skill between them, and Ben again comes out on top. Finally pushed to the edge, he captures Julie and Jennifer, daring Ben to try and save them. Ben rescues Julie and they get back together again, while leaving Jennifer to Kevin and Gwen, then defeats Nemesis (now calling himself Overlord). Overlord is arrested, while Gwen is quick to discourage Jennifer from getting close to her most recent male rescuer. Will Harangue reports about Captain Nemesis' actions stating that a good man did bad things in order to stop "the menace that is Ben Tennyson."

Cash and JT are forced to admit their duplicity on camera to save themselves, so Psyphon turns his attention back to Ben. Ben cannot overcome him, even as Ultimate Spidermonkey, so Cash gets the idea to use the Power Decoupler on Psyphon, draining his power. Ben then knocks him out. Unfortunately for the duo, their act of heroism goes unnoticed, the weapon having knocked out the camera before firing, and their earlier confession has alienated their fanbase.

However, Aggregor has found the Sentinel by the time Ben returns, and in the ensuing battle manages to take the final piece of the map from Ben, because he carried it back with him and dropped it. After getting back to the ship, the Sentinel, dismayed that his life amounted to nothing, vanishes into thin air. Though they've lost the battle, Kevin assures Ben that the war isn't over.

Azmuth is still upset with Ben, Gwen, and Kevin for letting Aggregor get all of the four pieces of the Map of Infinity. Ben resolves to become Alien X to get Bellicus and Serena to cooperate. When this fails, Paradox arrives and changes Alien X back to Ben. After a brief argument, Paradox and Azmuth explain that the Forge of Creation is where all Celestialsapiens (Alien X's race) are born, and Aggregor hopes to absorb the powers and abilities of a newborn Celestialsapien and become omnipotent. Paradox takes them to the Forge of Creation, where an accident pulls Ben's ten-year-old self out of the timestream. After a few difficulties, past-Ben teams up with his future self to stop Aggregor. As they make their way through the Forge, they discover many Celestialsapiens in debate with themselves, and eventually a Celestialsapien egg. Aggregor reaches the egg at the same time the group does and takes everyone out with ease. In a last-ditch effort, Kevin absorbs energy from present-Ben's Ultimatrix, but the process drives him insane once again. He is now mutated like his old self, but has the new aliens instead of the old ones, becoming Ultimate Kevin. Kevin easily defeats Aggregor before absorbing his stolen power and attempting to kill him, only to be met with opposition from Gwen and both Bens. Past-Ben manages to get through to Kevin, who spares Aggregor's life before flying away, claiming he will not be so merciful next time. Paradox arrives at that moment to take them home before the other Celestialsapiens wake up, since he is not supposed to be near them, and return past-Ben to his own time period. Paradox claims that past-Ben will dismiss the entire experience as a dream while present-day Ben resolves to stop Kevin.

Kevin manages to catch up with Morgg to exact his revenge, dropping him in an elevator and cutting the line.

After Kevin absorbs the powers and abilities of Alan, Helen, Manny, Pierce, and Dr. Viktor, Ben and Gwen argue about the best way to deal with him. Ben decides to kill him, while Gwen argues that Kevin can still be saved. The argument escalates into a heated battle between the two first-cousins, which Ben wins as Way Big using an incredibly strong and powerful cosmic ray attack. He then starts looking for Kevin, attacking anyone who has ever had any criminal connections with him, including the Forever Knights and Vulkanus. Gwen, looking for an alternative, tracks down Darkstar. She convinces Darkstar to help Kevin, and in return, she gives him enough mana to retain his normal appearance for one year. Together with a newly matured Cooper, Darkstar devises a plan to save Kevin using a fragment of the Dominus Librium. He and Cooper build a machine in Los Soledad, using the left over pieces of both Aggregor's matter energy converting device, and Professor Paradox's time machine, to strengthen and amplify the piece's energy-draining abilities, thus restoring Kevin's sanity. Darkstar also devises a plan to have Kevin absorb a fraction of Gwen's magical and Anodite abilities so that he will hunt her for more.

Suddenly, Darkstar uses the machine to drain the powers and abilities from Kevin into himself, glowing with almightly god-like power. Predicting this outcome in advance, Ben hits a kill switch on the machine that takes all the stolen powers from Darkstar, and gives them back to their rightful owners, in the process of returning Bivalvan, Galapagus, P'andor, Andreas, and Ra'ad to life. Ra'ad thanks them. Kevin and Gwen kiss. Then Kevin apologizes to Ben for his actions, and offers him a ride to Mr. Smoothie's to get a smoothie.

He then orders his knights to attack Old George for his insults but are helpless against Old George's more technologically advanced Forever Knight bodyguards. Driscoll then attacks Old George himself but is defeated with very little effort by Old George. Then, Old George reveals his identity and Driscoll kneels before him, calling him "Founder of Our Order, The Original Forever Knight", followed by the other Forever Kings and their knights. Old George unites the Forever Knight factions into one and vows to rid the Earth of all aliens. Pierce, whose identity is hidden by an ID Mask, is romantically flirting with a girl but a group of Forever Knights come and demand that he leave Earth. They break his ID Mask, scaring the girl away and then kill him when he refuses to leave Earth. Meanwhile, NRG, Gwen, and Kevin are fighting Trumbipulor, who has escaped the Null Void. Despite their efforts, he escapes as Argit arrives in a shuttlecraft. He explains that the Forever Knights are trying to make him and other aliens leave Earth, and he needs their help to convince them to let them stay. Despite their lack of trust in him, they decide to look into his story. Finding that a few hundred aliens have indeed "left", they go to a Forever Knight castle to investigate. However, they accidentally activate the castle's security alarm; releasing another Dragon Robot, far much stronger than before. Lodestar and Kevin easily destroy the dragon. The group head to an alien food market to investigate and talk to the butcher Mr. Baumann to find out why the aliens are leaving. Mr. Baumann tells them that he has no idea, so Ben, Gwen and Kevin leave. They sneak back in and it is then revealed that he has been hiding an alien family from the Forever Knights. Mr. Baumann tells the gang that the Forever Knights have been attacking aliens on Earth. The team decides to set a trap and wait for the Forever Knights to show up at the date that a supply ship for the alien food market is coming. Soon, the gang is watching over a bunch of aliens as the supply ship comes, but some of George's knights arrive and attack the team. Ben (as Upchuck), Gwen and Kevin try to fight them off, but the Forever Knights outnumber them and a Plasma Beam Tank drives in and easily defeats Ben, Gwen and Kevin.
Ben, Gwen and Kevin free themselves from the handcuffs they have been placed in and get ready to fight the Forever knights again, but Ben decides to challenge Driscoll to a duel, going from Spidermonkey to Ultimate Spidermonkey. Though Driscoll is gaining the upper hand, thanks to his armour, Ultimate Spidermonkey beats him and threatens him to free the alien he has captured as prisoners and get rid of the knights. The Forever Knights free the aliens and leave. Driscoll reports his failure to George, but George reassures him that he will not be punished and that this will be the beginning of a far greater war: "The battle of a hundred lifetimes".

The monstrous squid declares his intent to conquer Ben's universe, and summons the Esoterica to destroy the heroes. Despite debuting his Ultimate Way Big form, Ben fails to defeat the extradimensional fiend, who proceeds to destroy Sir George by electrocuting him with dark lightning. All seems lost until Vilgax returns, capturing Diagon by Psyphon's power-absorbing machine. Before the heroes can stop him, Psyphon proceeds to transfer Dagon's power to Vilgax, making the galactic conqueror into a nearly-unstoppable force. Gwen warps Ben, Kevin and herself into the Plumber's base in Mount Rushmore to hide from Vilgax, but the newly-empowered villain tracks them down and has his horde of Esoterica attack. Gwen uses the base's defenses to repel the brainwashed humans, but Vilgax personally attacks the base and disables both Gwen and Kevin. Confronting his old foe, Ben wields George's sword, Ascalon, and uses it to drain Dagon's power from Vilgax. Reverted to his original form, Vilgax tries to corrupt Ben, asking what he plans to do with the combined power of Ascalon, Diagon, and the Ultimatrix. Ben declares his intent to revert the Esoterica into humans, but Vilgax derides him for thinking "too small"; with his new power, Ben could destroy all evil in the universe. Gwen and Kevin both encourage Ben to resist Vilgax's temptation, and Julie (in Ship's armor mode) arrives to further sway her friend away from the path of tyranny. Ben demands quiet as he considers his options, and after remembering his adventures, he uses his infinite godly abilities to transform the Esoterica back into humans. To everyone's surprise, Azmuth appears before them and asks Ben to return Ascalon and the Ultimatrix to him. Ben wonders if he has not yet proved his worthiness to the diminutive alien, but Azmuth corrects him; the Ultimatrix is no longer worthy of him. He gives Ben a new version of the Omnitrix; the "true" version Azmuth has been developing ever since he gave Ben the prototype six years ago. Cryptically suggesting that Ben may get the Master Control at a later date ("Perhaps on your eighteenth birthday"), Azmuth disappears, leaving the heroes to bask in victory. Afterwards, Azmuth deactivates the Ultimatrix because it was merely a prototype.
