9x012 - Flip camera

Plot
Jon appears as the sidekick for the episode. Before the experiment even begins, Jory and Jon suddenly discovered that Esmeralda was killed after the previous episode. Jory switches her out with the new microwave: Penelope. During the microwaving the guys talk badly about the Flip and why it's a poor camera before it catches on fire.

Jory states it's not a good idea to both microwave and buy a Flip camera.

Trivia

 * This episode was made to cross-promote Jon's video about the Flip.
 * Jon claims that he's excited to be the sidekick because he's "never done this before." This is false. He has been the sidekick twice before, in episodes #157 and #195.
 * This is the first time a microwave has died between experiments. However, it is the second time a microwave has been declared dead during the intro, the first time being with Susan back in season 6.
 * This is the second time we actually see Jory carry out a dead microwave and exchange her with a new, working girl. The first time was the switch from Marissa to Cindy, which was shown in the last minutes of a live stream. The funeral of Summer was shown on a live stream as well, but her follower Penny did not appear.
 * It is unknown how Esmeralda died, although a suspicious popping sound was heard before she unexpectedly shut off. Her panel coming off likely had something to do with her death. Or maybe, her seeing the Flip camera gave her a heart attack,or maybe because Esmeralda was afraid of Jon
 * Jon claims that him being on screen this episode is the reason for Esmeralda dying, but Samantha didn't die when Jon was sidekick, and multiple microwaves (Jackie, Penny, Margaret II) didn't die when he hosted.
 * Penelope is named after the Spanish actress Penélope Cruz.
 * Penelope is the first microwave girl said to have a top vent, which is wicked sexy.
