At least it's a game reality show and not a "let's follow people around on their day and bleep out every other word, sometimes whole paragraphs!" Any game, no matter how dumb and nonsensical is always more interesting than that., IMO.

I love Survivor, and it's first season was also really heavily presented as a social experiment. They still use that kind of language at times, that it's more than a game. Like when they split tribes by race or more recently by generation. It's a great game, I don't know why they feel the need to make it more.

Great video! Looks like it's really blowing up; that's, what, almost 8 thousand subs since you posted it. it must've gotten posted somewhere you don't usually get exposure.

This is the funniest video of all time, for realz. Absolutely hysterical! I can't stop watching it.

What was up with that glass wall that separated the two sides? Did they talk to each other through it or was it just so the futurefolk could watch the cavemen die of starvation?

The glass wall was effectively pointless. The few times you got raw un-manipulated footage with the real room audio it also became apparent that it wasn't soundproofed particularly well, any better than say two rooms separated by a door would be. You could have a conversation through it. I guess it was to rub in to the past side that they didn't have comfort and food? It rarely came into play. I guess one could have used it to psych the other team out, like huddle like you're making some grand plan and point ominously to various members of the other team. No one used it for that.

Seems like someone watched the episode of Angel where Angel and Spike argue about who would win in a fight, astronauts or cavemen, and decided to make a show about it. Kinda.

Have to ask did you watch live or discover later.

Watched live! Bailey and I were hooked to the disaster and watched it realtime every week and like Trapped In A Island With Josh Hutcherson it comes up anecdotally all the time, how funny it is and how surreal the experience of watching it unfold was. I always get frustrated by how watching funny media is so "you had to be there," and people's eyes kind of glaze over if you try to tell them about stuff like this conversationally. Thank god for youtube videos

This was great. I noticed that this is definitely a departure in that it's your first video that mixes your personal style with what I'd consider more traditional for a youtube comedy review video. That's definitely a function of you actually being able to include footage from the thing you're discussing and cutting back and forth between you and clips, but you also used tropes like splicing a short clip from earlier in as a joke, and I think it really worked. So... I know this is a weird analytical comment but I noticed the change in format and the video is still great so I guess this just once again proves you can make an entertaining video out of literally anything!! Really looking forward to the next one, as always.

Dan Schenk 路 February 7, 2018

Now that I think of it I guess you presumably see these so I might as well ask, when you were making this video, how did including footage from the show make the process different? Was it significantly more work? Can you see yourself making more videos like this in the future?

This was great and makes me want to make a KID NATION video.

Jenny Nicholson 路 February 7, 2018

I hadn't heard of Kid Nation but it got a lot of love in the comments, I might have to check it out. Idk if I'll do more reality show videos though haha

Good video, but my mind kept wandering trying to figure out why porg designs vary so much.

J
Jenny Nicholson 路 February 7, 2018

It's brilliant because with BB-8 I have a lot of BB-8s but I hit a wall at a point, they need to do something new like put him in a hat or something to make me feel like I need another BB-8. The porgs are all varied like different dog breeds so I keep needing new ones that I find

Was that a Kim Wall reference in your description of Jesse?

If I go on season two of Opposite Worlds and die, I will leave a very angry comment.

I enjoyed the glass screen. So they could watch the injuries, malnutrition and freezing conditions while laughing and drinking champagne.
