Interesting read! "The Test" is an episode I have never really had too many issues with, and I've always found your evaluation of it to be a bit strict; it managed to take the idea of a supporting character slowly taking over a show and nail it with exceptional creativity, thanks in no small part to Tobias and his faulty too-cool-for-school persona, though the article has sort of opened me up to how the episode kind of fizzles out towards the end.

I don't think that I would have been able to come up with a way to fix that area's weakness, but you did a really good job with it! The biggest issue is just that the transition is so weak that it struggles to register, so going in the opposite direction and just piling on insanity and contrivances to a point of complete insanity is kind of brilliant. This is the sort of episode that thrives on indulgent overexaggeration, and insofar as that is the general direction, why not just go full steam ahead with it (the elevation of Gworp from a throwaway gag to an important plot point being especially great)? Honestly, if the show made those changes in alignment to your vision, I feel like it would be quite a bit more exciting.

The Deal" is the probably the most boring episode of Gumball I have ever had to endure, so good luck with that one.
