Yeah I had to drop out of college and beg for that semester money back to use that and more for a security deposit + 1st month's rent. Life has only gotten much worse since then and I can't fathom how companies can burn millions while others suffer just trying to live.
I was cheering so hard when Kat advocated so much for Destiny. This game is messed up but seeing someone immediately trying to rig it in favour of the most vulnerable among them was so awesome, she definitely led the others well.
I don’t understand why she was voted out either! Especially since she didn’t say or do anything controversial. They all agreed with her and yet they booted her out? I truly don’t get how she got the most votes out
This pissed me the hell off. Jubilee is fucking loaded. $2000 is nothing- especially when it’s split up. And Jubilee decided that this was entertainment. Fuck capitalism.
That’s so true also what the kids got for being in the video and what Destiny won is probably nothing compared to what Jubilee is gonna make off this video
I also think by the way the game was structured it was virtually impossible for the full $2000 to be given. Only one person wins anything and they would have to have all 20 bars or whatever to get the amount promised in the title. In the end destiny had 10 bars, each $100, so she only gets $1000, not $2000. Yes I think jubilee did this intentionally so they could say they were giving a larger amount while knowing it would never actually be the full 2k
it genuinely makes me feel so yucky.. it's hunger games-esque, people who definitely have enough space, room, money, and resources for people simply using them for enterrainment.
I imagine their profit margins are just insane too. They use the same set with literally nothing on it besides their little $50 worth of props and the people. It probably takes a crew of 5 people to shoot (since they literally just stand in one place and talk normally) and two or three people to edit the footage (depending on how fast they put stuff out). Their editing isn't even that good like with the ASMR thing they did. I understand they want average people and not actors or people just wanting to get paid for the time filming, but they need to have better prizes and random consolation prizes. $2000 barely makes a dent in anything now.
every jubilee/cut video, jordan vascilates from "haha im gonna be evil" and then "im insanely uncomfortable about this exploitative manufactured content" and yet i still click
This is such a cruel game, forcing them to vote someone off. Having them determine who was most in need, seeing them making their decisions on who to give the money to. And seeing that girl cry was heartbreaking.
Ikr! There’s something so wrong about seeing these serious and real problems that people have within such a game like format. I hope they got paid to be in the video too though lol
@@HamiltonIsLife yes they chose to be there, but if you werent in a place of need you wouldnt choose to do this. you can still have sympathy for people in bad situations.
It's a company throwing money at the "commoners" and saying "Fight for the money." All while making the audience see the players as the bad guys for just playing the game the way the company wants them to.
i, a giant company, will give one of you, miserable college students, a measly $2000! but first, you must entertain me by suffering and scrabbling like street dogs. dance, dog! dance!
@@kenos911Jubilee makes around $1.20 per 1000 views. They have over 2 billion video views. Doing some simple math, that means theyve made ~$20 million from their videos (and that isn't including sponsorships, or their other channel, Nectar). We know that Jubilee doesn't have a large staff. Research shows they have approximately 30 employees (though this is including the founders and CEOs), where the director of the operation brings home around $220,000 per year (seems a bit much for a foundation that calls themselves a non profit). They bring in a substantial amount with a small workforce. They can definitely afford to give some more money to these struggling people.
Reading the comments on the original video genuinely made me feel queasy. The amount of victim blaming being heaped on Destiny because she has tattoos/piercings, cried, was a woman, and mentioned she relapsed (which some people assumed the cause of, as if that's possible or in any way their business) is so fucking depressing. Also people getting mad at Kat for "making the game boring"?? This truly is the darkest timeline
Jesus h christ, I'm glad I didn't look at the actual video, that's genuinely soul crushingly depressing. Even if most of the comments are from kids ... what the hell is our current society teaching them to think like?
It actually is a perfect representation of capitalism because there's a fucker standing off screen who could give them all a cart of these bars telling crying Zoomers to fight each other instead.
Cool to see you have sum good taste in comedy vids....did you ever apologize for lying about xan, who was a abuse victim? Or you still take the word of a meth head who stole thousands from her boyfriend rather than xan?? Do you refuse to believe his evidence cuz you got some personal beef with him? Or is it cuz you sexist and take a take the lies of that tweaker at face value, with nothing to back her up just cuz she a woman?? As a man who was physically and emotionally abused by a partner it really makes me think less of you, and I wanna tell you thats a low down rotten thing to do, hope you do better in the future
i really applaud kat for being so selfless during the whole thing. most people on these shows will do anything to prove why they should get it, even if it's something so miniscule. but she just even admitted she wanted destiny to win through and through and was perfectly ok when she was voted off.
I think it is criminal how much addicts get punished for relapsing and needing medical care. This pushes people further into poverty making them homeless and/or more likely to use in order to cope and from increased access. People, especially people as young as Destiny, deserve better.
That's cause jails are private businesses. In return for holding prisoners they get basically free labor. There's a lot of incentive to keep inmates in jail. Some people even genuinely find peace in it since at least in jail you don't have to worry about food or shelter and you can have hobbies in jail. Some have free classes too. Not that it makes up for the otherwise bad conditions and exploration but some people's lives are bad enough that it's a respite.
I want to mention too that addicition isn't restricted to just drug use! People can relapse from self harm as well as a lot of other forms of mental health issues. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't assumed that Destiny was using. Either way, anyone that is struggling with any kind of addiction needs to be treated like a human being!
@@yukikanegawa7470 Exactly. It's just one example of capitalism's most blaring and fundamental issue--private business rewards morally reprehensible actions, such as sabotaging someone's potential of recovery for monetary gain.
Something I learned recently is that the word relapsed can be used for a ton of things. Mental health, commonly but even diseases & illnesses like cancer. I think a lot of people assumed the cause of her relapse, but we really don’t know. Regardless, I would not have even used that word had I been in her position because of the stigma, which is fucking sad and horrible.
Like also the whole thing is fucked up, there’s not even a point in assigning some sort of morality to the participants themselves. BUT if you’re part of this shit, the things you do definitely mean something

Obviously, all of this is awful in every way. But you know what might be the most infuriating? Jubilee probably could have paid off all of Destiny's medical debt twice over from the revenue on this video alone. Instead, they chose to profit off of the desperation of these kids. Gahhhh I hate it.
someone else: “I literally lost all my money getting surgery to reconstruct my legs after jumping on a bomb to save 1,000 babies” one of the guys: “okay but we all have struggles and they’re all valid”
Jubilee should start a charity to curve all the virtue signaling and performative activism they do. Due to all the people show that have been on due to ridiculous medical debt, that should be there cause.
Jubilee should have given everyone a certain amount of money per brick they had, but add a huge twist of not paying people for the bricks they gave themselves. They should have also given a prize for the person who was the biggest advocate of others and who offered to have their bricks taken away. I realize good people don't expect rewards from doing nice things, but Kat carried this episode and deserved something for being so genuine. This would reward the selfless people and the people who needed it and the game would not be over basically after the first round due to one person who very clearly needed it the most.
My biggest issue with these is that the whole concept is mote than just humiliating: telling people the darkest parts of your life (to squeeze out any semblance of sympathy from them), getting voted out, and losing money that was supposed to be life changing even though it would probably barely cover their rent. Not only are you setting people up for a huge disappointment, but youre putting it online. It feels so fucking inhumane to be like "look at these stupid adults, half of them cant even afford day to day life."
Oh god I felt that when Destiny was crying about her relapse causing her hospital bill which is putting her in debt…medical bills are what’s keeping me in debt and part of that debt is from a $3500 emergency room bill from a relapse two years ago. I hate the US medical system.
Jubilee feels like a post apocalyptic Doctor Who episode where they travel to a future where corporations own the money and everyone has to compete in these games to prove themselves as either worthy of the money or not the imposter or whatever
I don't care if my leg was bleeding out and that 2000 dollars was the only thing I needed to get a blood transfusion, I would rather die on the floor of the jubilee set than vote for myself 😭
got 1 minute into the video and realised i don’t actually want to watch poor uni students fight for money, being a poor uni student myself. thanks for uploading tho jordan ❤️
Something I learned recently is that the word relapsed can be used for a ton of things. Mental health, commonly but even diseases & illnesses like cancer. Most people assume drugs or alcohol when they hear relapse, but we really don’t know. Regardless, I would not have even used that word had I been in her position because of the stigma, which is fucking sad and horrible & speaks to how shitty and judgemental our society is.
We been this forever. Let's be entertained by the poors plight. You want to check out a messed up show which would be the grandmother to this show, it was called Queen for a Day. It ran from 1940 to 1964, and the basic premise of the show is mothers would plead there case and basically who ever had the worst horror story would win. Things like having a wheelchair for your kid, to just being able to call your deployed husband. The poor are not props, they are not to be fetishized and have their pain be turned into poverty porn. If you are going to turn us into porn you could at least be paying us more for your perverse torture porn you force us to be a part of. Remember kids a good healthy breakfast always start by eating the rich.
Honestly, it's kinda outrageous that this didn't end with Jubilee pulling a "lol, just kidding, good game, you ALL get 2000 bucks" like this is a giant corporation. they could easily afford it.
does anyone know if jubilee pays people for being in their videos? ive felt since the first x decides who gets the money video that for that much exploitation they should AT LEAST all be paid for their time of not also given royalties on the videos success. no idea how to look into that but i hope they do
This reminds me of a game show I played at uni with my friend. We were seniors, winning by a mile against some freshman. When asked what we’d do with the $1000, my friend and I said pay rent. The freshman said party. I guess we were too honest and gave the wrong answer because the game show host immediately switched the games to things the freshman would be better at. Something like identifying a fad from two years ago that happened for many high schoolers. This was before tik tok btw, so my friend and I would not know unless we had younger siblings. Anyway, we fought hard but eventually lost. I had never in my life been angry for losing a game and I have never been angry about losing a game since.
Oh this SUCKS. They could have just said they hated people who were struggling. I could absolutely see something like this happen where I’m from as well
That is so stupid and shameless. who in their right mind hears somebody who would use the money (and needs it) to pay rent with the winnings vs someone paying for a random party. Obviously it's fine to go on a game show or play a game for money without needing it, but at the same time have some sympathy.
4:55 That's a good point. I couldn't quite put my finger on why those videos make me uncomfortable, but that's exactly it. Exploitation has been a part of entertainment forever, but it's interesting to see it so clearly here. & even more, that we don't necessarily perceive it like that right away Great commentary as always! Minus the slow-mo asmr 🤢
you can see a lot of the kindness in gen z here bc i feel like a lot of these money games are ppl being extremely selfish (like the ones with the older folx in different videos) and these ppl all came together for destiny and i love that
This video is just sad. We see a bunch of people who are being put down by the terrible capitalistic America we live in and being exploited by Cut for views. People shouldn't have to argue with others about who has it worse off. America should actually take care of it's people and provide things like universal healthcare and liveable wages and free college education if you choose to pursue that.
This reminds me of a show that came out on Netflix where a group of people compete to earn a "life changing" amount of money. And the show wasn't trying to say that having people fight for their lives for others entertainment is a good thing.
I was so uncomfortable when destiny started disclosing their medical situation and crying. No one should have to do that to get the money they need. Shows like this are so exploitative.
Honestly this would be better if the money was a higher value. $2000 is arguably not that much money especially when it comes to massive bills these contestants are trying to pay off like college or medical bills. And if the person who won feels guilty about the money and wants to share, they just… can’t really do that. It’s not worth it when tax takes more of the money away. This one hurts on all levels
@@yesca6893 vs me immediately commenting bc i don't have the emotional capacity to watch it just yet but i had to support my favourite guy + assert dominance
i feel like this shows a difference in generations of vulnerability, like jordan said. younger people are far more open about traumatic experiences online and irl, giving details which shouldn't necessarily be given, in order to feel like they're deserving of love or sympathy. it's really sad and i wish that they didn't have to expose themselves like this, but the set up of jubilee videos is to exploit that vulnerability and create oppression olympics. nobody should have to constantly reveal their darkest secrets in order to be respected, jubilee (& exploitative spaces similar) is so predatory and disgusting.
Debt? Yeah if you're dumb lmao Slavery? No. The amount of people who still sign on for student loans they know they'll never pay is ridiculous, especially since during the last decade, companies have been looking for either experienced slaves who'll work for pennies compared to what they should be making or they reel in the younger crowd with the promise of "on-site training" leaving college as your option if you want to pursue a more professional career where you need to prove your knowledge within the given field. College is as simple as this: If you can afford it, there's not necessarily anything to lose besides your tuition lmao but if you can't afford it yet don't stress, because you'll just end up back at square one, but in debt.
God I feel so horrible for Destiny. I've been struggling with addiction for 6 years and it often leads to more mental health issues. When I was at my lowest i had a suicide attempt last year and was in the hospital for a month. Thankfully due to medical coverage and the blessing of the Canadian medical system we didn't have to pay for it. But being in a medical coma for a week and the ICU for 3 weeks and the Psych Unit for a week, I cannot imagine what that would cost in the US without coverage. Coming out of a hospital with a bill for (what some people told me) a couple thousand dollars to possibly a million... I couldn't have focused on healing, i probably would have done it again in hopes the cost wouldn't have been a burden on my family.
god, thats terrible, im sorry you've had to go through all that. i 100% agree. as an australian who's often ill, the US health system seems so so cruel and exploitative. i hope you're doing somewhat better now, have a wonderful day and good luck in your future health ❤
Jordan, I'm not sure, but it's possible you might be slowly transforming into a supervillain. Which I don't mind, but that makes all of the wolf pack your henchmen kind of, and I already have a job. 😔
As a college student, I woulda just immediately been like “Ay, ok, so we all are aware that college is detrimental to our bank accounts and personal health, physically and mentally, so let’s just evenly split it between us all and like.. use it for good causes like helping ourselves and our families, and paying for books and food and travel, and heck, maybe even use it to, I dunno, PAY OFF OUR DEBTS??”
@@malegazeofficial it was so confusing. It’s like the players weren’t even told the rules properly. Kat seemed to understand. I was so confused when someone removed a bar from Destiny’s pile when the rules seem to be that only the one with the highest pile can win? That person wasn’t going to win regardless, so why still acting like that? I don’t understand..
@@malegazeofficial never mind. Someone said it was Destiny who gave away one of her own bricks. That makes more sense to me. Still not logical, but I understand her feeling insecure and not wanting to feel like she’s taking from someone else when she already had most of the bricks. Pretty sad situation.
Outro is the sweetest as always despite the depressing video. On a slightly different note... WHERE is the Willam Dafussy hat from and is there any context? I stopped breathing when I saw it, it's so stunning.
i love jordan breaking it down like a political study when all the dude wanted to do was allow for more bricks to be in play because of the rules of the game, so more people get two in which they can spend as opposed to just a few people getting two
Normally I don't walk away a better person after watching Jubilee, but your commentary was both refreshing and thought provoking. Most underrated channel on youtube (your's, not Jubilee lol)
16:30 There ARE a lot of taxes for game show winnings, BUT if your prize is entirely cash they just take the tax out of the cash. So it's not like you have to pay $300 in tax, they just take tax from the winnings so you get $700 instead of $1000 after paying $300. Depending on the state there may be additional taxes that are taken out, which sucks. I think California is one of the states that doesn't take a lot of extra tax out, though?
Was on a binge of your videos and always prelike the video before watching, so adhering to words I used my one up. now to watch another video so I can subscribe!

I just want to hug Destiny :[ relapsing is so fucking difficult and I can’t imagine how hard it is when you’re also stressing about money
Seriously and taking care of your siblings on top of it!!
what did she mean by relapsing? like an addiction?
@@andr0medaz yes
@@andr0medaz a mental illness like addiction or maybe depression
@@sylviemarie1993 I might not know the context but not necessarily? Relapsing into an illness could be a case, too
What a bizarre and cruel "social experiment"
Is this kinda entertaining? Yes!
Does it also make me feel kinda uncomfortable? Yes!
Guys we are being spoiled with Jordan content rn
Oh god I felt that when Destiny was crying about her relapse causing her hospital bill which is putting her in debt…medical bills are what’s keeping me in debt and part of that debt is from a $3500 emergency room bill from a relapse two years ago. I hate the US medical system.
Hey, you should come up north (i think they still kill you with medical bills unless you’re born here oops lol)
Why wouldn’t everyone vote luis off when choosing who should lose their stack? He literally just wanted it for fun
fr that guy was pissing me off so much
That was my thought too! You can't seriously tell me you want money for fun and then not be voted off when other people actually need it?
I feel like it's because Kat asked them to vote her off and put their stack on Destiny. She followed through by voting for herself.
@@incredibleWatty oh ok, I commented this after I finished watching so I must’ve forgot
Ahh college.. the time you try to finesse your peers to give you gold bars so you can survive out in the world
Jubilee feels like a post apocalyptic Doctor Who episode where they travel to a future where corporations own the money and everyone has to compete in these games to prove themselves as either worthy of the money or not the imposter or whatever
Thank you for defeating the monarchy. You are the only one who can stop such a threat.
I don't care if my leg was bleeding out and that 2000 dollars was the only thing I needed to get a blood transfusion, I would rather die on the floor of the jubilee set than vote for myself 😭
got 1 minute into the video and realised i don’t actually want to watch poor uni students fight for money, being a poor uni student myself. thanks for uploading tho jordan ❤️
being physically worn out is such a good description for the way these kinds of videos make me feel
Something I learned recently is that the word relapsed can be used for a ton of things. Mental health, commonly but even diseases & illnesses like cancer. Most people assume drugs or alcohol when they hear relapse, but we really don’t know. Regardless, I would not have even used that word had I been in her position because of the stigma, which is fucking sad and horrible & speaks to how shitty and judgemental our society is.
‘Lie, fight, cheat , STEAL!’ - Jordan Adika, 2022
Why can't they just give everyone the $2000. Yes. Even Luis. Entertainment is a human necessity too.
We been this forever. Let's be entertained by the poors plight. You want to check out a messed up show which would be the grandmother to this show, it was called Queen for a Day. It ran from 1940 to 1964, and the basic premise of the show is mothers would plead there case and basically who ever had the worst horror story would win. Things like having a wheelchair for your kid, to just being able to call your deployed husband. The poor are not props, they are not to be fetishized and have their pain be turned into poverty porn. If you are going to turn us into porn you could at least be paying us more for your perverse torture porn you force us to be a part of.
Remember kids a good healthy breakfast always start by eating the rich.
Honestly, it's kinda outrageous that this didn't end with Jubilee pulling a "lol, just kidding, good game, you ALL get 2000 bucks"
like this is a giant corporation. they could easily afford it.
You were right about the exploitation of Destiny's story, it's just not Destiny that was doing it. It was Jubilee.
God this makes me wanna cry
The fact vulnerability can be perceived as weaponizing is 🥴🥴
just waiting for the day jubilee posts a video of a bunch of people in actual poverty fighting to the death for $500
i hope destiny and kat stayed in touch after this
does anyone know if jubilee pays people for being in their videos? ive felt since the first x decides who gets the money video that for that much exploitation they should AT LEAST all be paid for their time of not also given royalties on the videos success. no idea how to look into that but i hope they do
I hated the ‘asmr’ as it was, but the slowed down version made me physically itch.
This reminds me of a game show I played at uni with my friend. We were seniors, winning by a mile against some freshman. When asked what we’d do with the $1000, my friend and I said pay rent. The freshman said party. I guess we were too honest and gave the wrong answer because the game show host immediately switched the games to things the freshman would be better at. Something like identifying a fad from two years ago that happened for many high schoolers. This was before tik tok btw, so my friend and I would not know unless we had younger siblings. Anyway, we fought hard but eventually lost.
I had never in my life been angry for losing a game and I have never been angry about losing a game since.
Oh this SUCKS. They could have just said they hated people who were struggling. I could absolutely see something like this happen where I’m from as well
That is so stupid and shameless. who in their right mind hears somebody who would use the money (and needs it) to pay rent with the winnings vs someone paying for a random party. Obviously it's fine to go on a game show or play a game for money without needing it, but at the same time have some sympathy.
4:55 That's a good point. I couldn't quite put my finger on why those videos make me uncomfortable, but that's exactly it. Exploitation has been a part of entertainment forever, but it's interesting to see it so clearly here. & even more, that we don't necessarily perceive it like that right away
Great commentary as always! Minus the slow-mo asmr 🤢
you can see a lot of the kindness in gen z here bc i feel like a lot of these money games are ppl being extremely selfish (like the ones with the older folx in different videos) and these ppl all came together for destiny and i love that
This video is just sad. We see a bunch of people who are being put down by the terrible capitalistic America we live in and being exploited by Cut for views. People shouldn't have to argue with others about who has it worse off. America should actually take care of it's people and provide things like universal healthcare and liveable wages and free college education if you choose to pursue that.
This reminds me of a show that came out on Netflix where a group of people compete to earn a "life changing" amount of money. And the show wasn't trying to say that having people fight for their lives for others entertainment is a good thing.
Can you even imagine a world where you don’t have to rely on an internet gameshow to hopefully pay your medical bills?
I was so uncomfortable when destiny started disclosing their medical situation and crying. No one should have to do that to get the money they need. Shows like this are so exploitative.
Just binged ARCS and to have more Jordan after this stressful day is so so good
Seeing this comment blew my mind. Bc I didn't even realize he was in it. I listened/watched those separately and I want more of both 😭
@@RatatoskrUwO yeah he's the DM
@@Alfiemon it explains why he sounded so familiar. Gotta go re-listen to it now
@@RatatoskrUwO go do that it's so fun to listen too
whats ARCS??
This game was giving horror movie "you pick who to kill" vibes
Honestly this would be better if the money was a higher value. $2000 is arguably not that much money especially when it comes to massive bills these contestants are trying to pay off like college or medical bills. And if the person who won feels guilty about the money and wants to share, they just… can’t really do that. It’s not worth it when tax takes more of the money away. This one hurts on all levels
Jordan making me realize how much i dissociate, i swear that he uploaded yesterday but that was 3 days ago apparently
Thank you Jordan, this is the ONLY way I can view jubilee videos
let's go it's my favourite content bastard
Me waiting to comment something about the content bc I haven't finished watching it yet
@@yesca6893 vs me immediately commenting bc i don't have the emotional capacity to watch it just yet but i had to support my favourite guy + assert dominance
Jordan visibly cringing at the unexpected ASMR is giving me life ✨
i feel like this shows a difference in generations of vulnerability, like jordan said. younger people are far more open about traumatic experiences online and irl, giving details which shouldn't necessarily be given, in order to feel like they're deserving of love or sympathy. it's really sad and i wish that they didn't have to expose themselves like this, but the set up of jubilee videos is to exploit that vulnerability and create oppression olympics.
nobody should have to constantly reveal their darkest secrets in order to be respected, jubilee (& exploitative spaces similar) is so predatory and disgusting.
4:28 "give people something to do because they aren't done being human yet" hit nail on the head. After college nxt step is slavery and debt.
Debt? Yeah if you're dumb lmao
Slavery? No.
The amount of people who still sign on for student loans they know they'll never pay is ridiculous, especially since during the last decade, companies have been looking for either experienced slaves who'll work for pennies compared to what they should be making or they reel in the younger crowd with the promise of "on-site training" leaving college as your option if you want to pursue a more professional career where you need to prove your knowledge within the given field. College is as simple as this: If you can afford it, there's not necessarily anything to lose besides your tuition lmao but if you can't afford it yet don't stress, because you'll just end up back at square one, but in debt.
God I feel so horrible for Destiny. I've been struggling with addiction for 6 years and it often leads to more mental health issues. When I was at my lowest i had a suicide attempt last year and was in the hospital for a month. Thankfully due to medical coverage and the blessing of the Canadian medical system we didn't have to pay for it. But being in a medical coma for a week and the ICU for 3 weeks and the Psych Unit for a week, I cannot imagine what that would cost in the US without coverage. Coming out of a hospital with a bill for (what some people told me) a couple thousand dollars to possibly a million... I couldn't have focused on healing, i probably would have done it again in hopes the cost wouldn't have been a burden on my family.
god, thats terrible, im sorry you've had to go through all that. i 100% agree. as an australian who's often ill, the US health system seems so so cruel and exploitative. i hope you're doing somewhat better now, have a wonderful day and good luck in your future health ❤
Jordan, I'm not sure, but it's possible you might be slowly transforming into a supervillain. Which I don't mind, but that makes all of the wolf pack your henchmen kind of, and I already have a job. 😔
What if the henchman gig has better benefits, though?
We love you Jordan you feed us content
The whole entire video I really wanted to bite the blocks
me staring at my green cardigan with daisies 👁👄👁
jordan content? feeling blessed rn
As a college student, I woulda just immediately been like “Ay, ok, so we all are aware that college is detrimental to our bank accounts and personal health, physically and mentally, so let’s just evenly split it between us all and like.. use it for good causes like helping ourselves and our families, and paying for books and food and travel, and heck, maybe even use it to, I dunno, PAY OFF OUR DEBTS??”
If they split it evenly, everyone would get less than 300 dollars. You can’t pay off college debts with that.
the rule is that only the one person with the most bars wins
@@livnicole1284 Im aware, just sayin it’s a start, and could stop the very least be chucked into savings
@@malegazeofficial it was so confusing. It’s like the players weren’t even told the rules properly. Kat seemed to understand. I was so confused when someone removed a bar from Destiny’s pile when the rules seem to be that only the one with the highest pile can win? That person wasn’t going to win regardless, so why still acting like that? I don’t understand..
@@malegazeofficial never mind. Someone said it was Destiny who gave away one of her own bricks. That makes more sense to me. Still not logical, but I understand her feeling insecure and not wanting to feel like she’s taking from someone else when she already had most of the bricks. Pretty sad situation.
this video gave me psychic damage Jordan and I will be charging you with the bill
loving the vids Jordan
the turtle video is probably the cutest thing i've seen in recent years
Outro is the sweetest as always despite the depressing video. On a slightly different note... WHERE is the Willam Dafussy hat from and is there any context? I stopped breathing when I saw it, it's so stunning.
i love jordan breaking it down like a political study when all the dude wanted to do was allow for more bricks to be in play because of the rules of the game, so more people get two in which they can spend as opposed to just a few people getting two
Your outro makes me feel better every time I watch one of your videos ❤
Edit: Holy shit I'm literally crying because of that turtle, they're so cute
I stopped watching asmr to watch this instead. I think I speak for all asmr listeners when I say, yes Jordan, that is what we want.
Does destiny have a go fund me? I would love to donate. This game was cruel, like an emotional squid game.
whenever u post something im ready to watch it no matter the situation i am in bcuz ur videos are just hilarioius
cannot miss out
Jubilee is evil. Like, these videos have always felt predatory to me because it's just extorting people in a bad situation for views
Some of their videos are fun and light hearted, and then there’s:
A lot of reality shows are like that which is why reality TV is banned in my house.
Luis Fr had character development
at the beginning I wanted to punch him and by the end I wanted to hug him we stan character development
@@laurens740 Fr 🥹
the whispering GOTTA GO
"you meet a bird and a bee and then you get fat baby-wise" is the single greatest sentence ever spoken
"college is daycare" truest statement I've heard in a while
I still can’t believe you went from basketball to baseball and now to TH-cam your doing great Micheal keep it ip
Every one of the contestants is making my gaydar go off
Destiny giving Charles one of there bricks is so heart breaking
Jordan looks like a lost Mario Brother in this video
Jordan: for those who like the ASMR, i'll play it really slow
Me who's in the other room doing laundry: NOOOO
The ad: I gotchu
Why couldn't they just do talking heads like every other show? They didn't need to say their reasoning right then and there
I find it oddly satisfying that this video is exactly 20 minutes
it's actually 20:01
Haha the funniest sentence in this video is “I don’t know how it happens, you meet a bird and a bee and then you get fat babywise” hahaha
Normally I don't walk away a better person after watching Jubilee, but your commentary was both refreshing and thought provoking. Most underrated channel on youtube (your's, not Jubilee lol)
I love you and I'm in love with you. That turtle video was the perfect palate cleanser. :')
"haha look at the poors fight each other for a morsel of wealth that we make in a video!"
In case you forgot, I love you Jordan
16:30 There ARE a lot of taxes for game show winnings, BUT if your prize is entirely cash they just take the tax out of the cash. So it's not like you have to pay $300 in tax, they just take tax from the winnings so you get $700 instead of $1000 after paying $300. Depending on the state there may be additional taxes that are taken out, which sucks. I think California is one of the states that doesn't take a lot of extra tax out, though?
Was on a binge of your videos and always prelike the video before watching, so adhering to words I used my one up. now to watch another video so I can subscribe!
