Plot
The episode starts off with Mordecai and Rigby playing Xtreme Xcape. Rigby gets mad after Mordecai ridicules him for being very horrible at the video game, and decides to make a bet that he can beat Mordecai at this game. The bet is that whoever loses has to get his respective video game character's haircut for a week. The two seal the wager, but Rigby immediately collapses, saying he will die without a glass of water. Mordecai fetches a glass of water, while Rigby unplugs Mordecai's controller while he does so. When the game resumes, Mordecai realizes that his controller is unplugged, but loses the game (and the bet) before he could plug the controller back it.

The next day, Mordecai and Rigby appear in the Coffee Shop, but now Mordecai has a blond haircut. Rigby starts to ridicule Mordecai with lame blond jokes, but all the while feels ashamed about cheating on the bet. The next thing Rigby notices is Mordecai has now made friends with a group of blond men, who welcome blonds that are ridiculed by "normal-hairs".

Later that day, Rigby tries to hang out with Mordecai, but finds out that he is having more fun with the Blonde Men than with Rigby, even moving into the blonds' home until the bet is over. Rigby turns to Skips for advice, but Skips says the only way to get his friend back is to admit his dishonesty. This turns out easier said than done, and when Rigby finally catches up with Mordecai to admit cheating on the bet, he pulls back at the last second. However, Mordecai has different plans, saying that his permanent initiation into the blondes' club would be sealed when he blonds an "outsider" to death.

Rigby is taken hostage, ending up being tied to a rope over a boiling vat of supposedly blond hair dye. Mordecai is given a sacred ring by the Blonde Men and is told to lower Rigby into the vat. Just before Rigby plunges into the vat, he admits cheating on the bet, which causes Mordecai to stop the rope from lowering at the last minute. Mordecai reveals that he was all along trying to get Rigby to admit his dishonesty, which succeeded, but put the two in the midst of a huge group of angry blondes.

The duo, now reunited, make a run for it as they are chased by the now angry blondes with their sacred laser rings. The duo then make it to an elevator, but not before Mordecai pushes over barrels of flammable hydrogen peroxide and switching his ring to self-destruct. They escape in the elevator just in time for the building to explode and collapse.

Trivia

 * Even though the word in the title is spelled "blonde", when shown in the actual episode, it is spelled "blond". Both ways are accurate, though the one in the title is used more often.

 * The leader of the blond men at the end holds ten sacred rings, but has twelve fingers
 * When Mordecai is packing up his belongings in a box, two band t-shirts from Mordecai and the Rigbys appear in a closet in the background.
 * The truck that Mordecai drives off in (I-Haul) is a reference to "U-Haul". This truck made a reappearance from It's Time.
 * The climax featuring the blondes' home collapsing resembles the building collapsing in Xtreme Xcape.
