Overall a Pass. Normally I'd go to bat for Barry but today, not so much. In 20 minutes he scooped ice cream. I think sometimes Barry is too creative for his own good. That said, he should never change. Badge for Jaime ✅. Score 8 Badge for Mike ✅. Score 7 Badge for Barry ❌. Score 3
Exaclty my thought! Jaime was the only one who actually made a meringue (okay, Mike pipped it, but it wasn't the piping skills badge was it?) I don't get why Barry got a meringue badge, he melted ice cream ...
@@justmemayel4174 well yes becouse they only would need one meringue for a dish. Jaime making the Meringue meant the other 2 couldn't do that either way. Barry decided to do baked Alaska yes, but James then also made him go again after he had that idea. that meant that there wouldn't be a chance for him to use the meringue in his turn anyway becouse he needed to put the icecream in the freezer for his idea to be able to work. so what way could he use the meringue on his turn?
@@starryskies9655 I think part of it is that Jamie went in essentially throwing the others under the bus by trying to do the badge part even though he knew as did James that he could have been doing other stuff that would have resulted in a better overall dish by either baking a tart case, getting something chilled, or making a filling that needed to cool for the entire time. If you look at it like that giving just him the leg up would have been rewarding bad behavior.
Barry's baked Alaska idea is not good. It's a far more fiddly dish to make than meringue tarts. Barry can actually make baked Alaska IF he had simply kept the ice cream frozen, the final product has not been so... runny kinda ruining the point of a baked Alaska.
Jamie and Mike definitely deserve the badge because let's be honest. Whether that bowl had been mixing for 1 minute or 10, Barry would have still turned it off.
I've been very impressed with Jamie throughout these "normals edition" challenges. His execution may not be "chef" level, but he's clearly succeeded in integrating small tips and tricks into his cooking habits.
James narrating the normals cooking is my new favourite thing. Please sorted make this a new series and do it again, sassy but supportive narrater James is amazing.
Barry should not have gotten a badge, he did nothing with the merignue beyond turning off the mixer. Jamie made a great meringue, and mike knew what he was doing enough to keep checking the temperature, plus the piping and torching at the end.
Yeah all Barry did was ignore all the previous work, and grab pre-made ice-cream to turn the dish into something that was literally impossible to finish properly in the time they had.
Jamie - Makes Meringue, get pre made pastry and provides options for different fruity fillings for the tart Mike - Makes a biscuit base to level up the tart theme, agrees on the lime/ginger flavour, checks on the Meringue, gets the tart cases out so they're ready for Barry Barry - Flips the table, uses a pre made ice cream, ignores the theme, changes it to something much more complicated
I don't even know if I'd call it "more complicated" - initially they wanted to go for a fruity pie, where they could experiment with flavors and food pairings of a filling, as well as with handmade crust. Instead - they ended up with Baked Alaska inside of which was premade ice cream. The hardest part there was to put a meringue nicely and not burn it. I know they were fighting for the badge, but I was hoping for something much more ambitious :/
@@Der_Eiermensh Agreed. I can understand not being confident in making a curd/custard, but a basic fruit pie filling is just sugar, cornstarch, & maybe a bit of lemon, so there was no need to change the whole dish. A baked alaska does look really impressive, but it's extremely simple to make once you've got the meringue. Also, like Mike said, you need the ice cream to be in the fridge for a few hours before assembly so it stays solid in the oven/under the blowtorch.
Honestly, I'm ok with little things like that. They should know to check oven/fridge/freezer, but in the pressure of the time, it's easy to miss, so I think that's ok. I would however fail it for basically making a dish that's just a fancy scoop of pre-made ice cream.
I look forward to the opening intro to these episodes. From Barry’s “ that’s annoying.” Jamie’s “that’s looks terrible, I’m hiding these.” to Mike’s “this should be really obvious.” However, most of all, my favorite one is, Jame’s “ What’s going on here? WHERE’S. The. Dish????”
Mike is the king of “Hail Marys”. The Cincinnati Bengals need to recruit him (and I can say that as the Bengals are my hometown team) and hopefully win a game or two 😂
@@Alex632 his explanation is he didn’t know how to make a curd That was his justification for changing the entire dish and do something he wanted to do
@@zzskyninjazz1821 - That alone should've disqualified him from the badge. He didn't know how to make the meringue dish the others were going for, and then changed it to a meringue dish that was literally impossible to finish properly in time. And on top of that used pre-made ice-cream to do it.
Barry clearly had in his head “Baked Alaska”, regardless of what had already been done or what was in front of him in the kitchen. He’s like the opposite of a team player 😅

@@jeremyO9F911O2 Yeah, but the results would've been the same if he'd just completely ignored it. The actual tricky part about making a meringue is everything Jaime did.
@@SeraphimCramer yeah, Jamie kind of screwed the other 2 over. There wasnt much they could do at that point. But Mike showed he has knowledge on how long a meringue should whip for (temperature of the bowl), and unless it was cut, Barry just turned off the mixer without explaining if he actually knew if it was ready or not. In the end they all the got badge, an excellent meringue was made and now im really hungry haha
@@ajalfano Well to be fair he didn't expect someone to leave a cup with stale coffee in it under the counter, when the sink is right there... but I'm sure he definitely learned from that!
Barry definitely did an Ebbers. It was not fish pie, but he literally changed the meal in the middle of the challenge. Thanks god Jamie was so selfish that he made the meringue already, otherwise they would have been screwed.
True, but to be fair, Ben made fish pie because he didn't think there was time to cook the chicken (yes, I know he was wrong) and decided that he didn't want to kill his friends and coworkers... and, yes, he wanted fish pie. Not quite the same as Barry not making a tart.
Changing puff pastry crust of a meringue pie into biscuit base like cheesecake is OK when Mike does it Changing cheesecake idea into baked alaska is not OK when Barry does it Using already made biscuits or puff pastry for making the pie is OK, if Mike and Jamie does it Using already made ice cream is not OK when Barry does it Not doing anything to an already perfect meringue is also a bad thing appearantly.
@@gorkemkavak1965 Well, the difference is Mike essentially went "this is a great idea - I'm going to change one element of it just a little", whereas Barry went "HAH, screw you guys and all your hard work, I don't wanna!". He also never really did anything to the meringue (aside from stopping the machine the instant he came into the kitchen), so whether he deserved a badge specifically for meringue based on his performance in this video is... questionable at best.
How did Barry get a badge and a 6 score? He literally didn't make anything! He smushed James pre-made ice cream in a pot and then poured flour everywhere
I think it all came down to James not wanting to upset Barry...You can clearly tell he was already getting upset at the fact that he got (Well deserved IMO) 6 instead of the 8 he rated himself... James was trying his best to be nice, you could really tell he really wanted to rate him lower but didn't want to be mean or be the bad guy in this situation. Barry literally did nothing to the Meringue other than turn it off, which honestly I think was more due to luck than anything, and he didn't even show any knowledge about the meringue like Mike did (knowing to check the bowl's warmth, and what kind of Meringue it was, ect). So IMHO, he really didn't "deserve" to win the badge, and giving them out to everyone like a participation award, kind ruins the whole point of the badge contest to begin with.
@@dominicbeltz9057 I mean, I know I'm 4 months late but he could have vocalized that he knew what kind of meringue they were making, he could have justified why he was shutting it off(this swiss meringue is cool enough now, let's shut that off)
Im sure the team might be tired of hearing it, and I'm not taking away from anyone else since everyone is wonderful, but DAM it's nice to have James back on set. He was really the person I originally subscribed for before starting to enjoy everyone else.
Just want to thank you guys so much for consistently sharing such high-quality and fun videos for so many years! I began watching you guys since secondary school, and since then I have graduated from uni, worked, and currently studying a post-graduate degree.. and I still absolutely enjoy watching your videos! They always makes me happy :) Really thank you for the effort you have all put in all these time!
@Anayira Nwolkmar yay! What is it that makes you love them so much? I love that I get to LOL about all the carnage that ensues in the kitchen, but also the creativity of the challenge. And the way that some dishes get salvaged. I needed that attitude earlier this week when I misread teaspoons for tablespoons in a recipe. Decided I was going to fully commit. Luckily ended up with okay dinner in the end. 😂
@@SortedFood haha. I can imagine that. I have done a Mystery Box Challenge in the past with friends. But I don’t think I could ever commit to Pass It On. The stress of not having anything remotely edible in the end would kill me. 😂
I don't think this relay format works for badges like these as its mainly on 1 person not to mess up and doesn't show each 'normal' attempting the badge. Happy you tried the idea though!
Jamie: well thought out steps and good preparation of the meringue Mike : proper cooling of the meringue, as well as switching from a tart to pastry which is a great idea Barry " I am going to make a baked alaskan in 40 minutes" Taylor : let's cut some ice creams and put it in the freezer and hope it sets in time 😅😅😅😅
Mike: "Makes it obvious what barry has to do" Barry: "Understands but changes it anyways" Barry: I'm going to leave arrows so they know what they need to do Me: "facepalms"
I love pass it on. Just hearing the intro music makes me so happy! I always say “Where’s the dish” and “oh dear oh dear” in the same sassy voices that James and Janice use. I’m in my happy place ☺️
Gonna be real, I don't think I would've given Barry the badge, he didn't interact with the meringue at all, and nor did he comment on anything to do with it other than saying "that's good meringue"
As usual, Mike and Jamie do their best, while Barry does his own thing nearly screws everything up xD Jamie does deserve a higher note, but I would have given Barry a 3
If we're being... charitable, it's assumed he demonstrated he did *know* how to do the meringue, he just didn't have to because Jamie covered that base. And he did choose the direction (By ignoring everyone else's, and then not doing a whole bunch towards it despite getting a 20 minute time but... semantics). So, I guess the badge is fair, and James admitted the 6 was mostly not to make him feel bad.
I love all of your videos, and this one still manages to be my favorite one I've watched in a while! The running commentary from James and the normals uncomfortably explaining their choices at the end were great. I like this format where the process of a Pass It On is observed by one of the chefs!
Best advice I ever got in a kitchen. Your hands are your best tool.... Why does everyone separate whites and yolks like this? Use your hand, it's got finger to let the yolk intact and the fingers let the white drop out....full control..
sometimes people in my life do a barry and i wish i could tell them that they are doing a barry but i cant because they wouldnt understand and its is quite upsetting but then i come on here and i see the actual barry do a barry and i just know that literally everyone in the comments knows what doing a barry is and all of a sudden i feel content
I'm glad to see more confident Mike - that 8 was well deserved IMO. I agree with the pass - you guys deserve it just for figuring out what was going on after Barry's turn :D I would say that the baked Alaska was nice idea but also unnecessary complication to great and organized start. Pass it on is no place for improvisation - predictability is the way to go. You can always try new flavours etc. but others need to be able to decipher what were you thinking.
James was waay too generous to Barry. He should be able to identify that everything would have been great if Barry had been a team player. Jaime 8, Mike 8, Barry 2
The issue is Jamie made the meringue at the very beginning giving the others nothing to do besides make sure it's not over whipped and pipe it. (Both very simple things to do.) I do agree that Barry shouldn't of gotten a badge for what he did, but his performance wasn't all that bad...
Totally agree. And Barry should know about other pie fillings besides a curd. Mixed berries in a jam or coulis would have been a perfectly fine filling.
@@tylermarch7959 this was probably the most calm and collective he has every been, but he still didnt do much. In a full twenty minutes all he did was put premade icecream in a mold and put biscuit base on it. His calmness got him the points.
I don't think he does. I'm pretty sure Janice's lines are recorded after the pass-it-on. They are being talked to by one of the producers during the episode, and Janice is dubbed over.
I feel that Jamie definitely proved he knew how to make a swiss meringue and Mike demonstrated he knew as well by checking the bowl and then leaving it going. Barry didn't check the bowl, he just figured it was probably going long enough and took it off the beater.
They can already do that though, they said that any badges they haven't earned they can try to get in other battles on top of whatever they're supposed to compete for
I'M SO HAPPY THEY'RE BRINGING BACK THE PASS IT ON REACTION VIDEOS I feel like watching the boys react to each other's ideas and mistakes makes it 10x funnier!

Come on then you Janice-lovers... Pass or Fail?! Rank us each from 'Best' to 'Barry'!!
In my opinion the dish is a Pass but I feel like Barry was a Fail (as far as giving him a badge)
Jamie and Mike passed, Barry..? Not sure about that badge...

Jamie and Mike did great. Barry was there too.
Overall a Pass. Normally I'd go to bat for Barry but today, not so much. In 20 minutes he scooped ice cream. I think sometimes Barry is too creative for his own good. That said, he should never change.
Badge for Jaime ✅. Score 8

When Mike went off about "This has Barry F****** Taylor written all over it", I absolutely lost it. A+ job boys.
The fact that he was so right as well I love it
Barry's baked Alaska idea is not good. It's a far more fiddly dish to make than meringue tarts.
Barry can actually make baked Alaska IF he had simply kept the ice cream frozen, the final product has not been so... runny kinda ruining the point of a baked Alaska.
Mike's last round was entirely "Have you studied for the exam yet?" "The exam was yesterday, Mike"
We now need both him and James asking "where's the dish?" on the intro.
I had a similar situation. When I was in highschool I studied for the final with the mid term notes... still aced it but I had a pucker moment.
mike was calm af, rated himself highly and did the best overall. we love to see it.
They are all showing growth; that’s the point of the badges.
Best overall he blended some biscuits and blow torched some meringue
How did he do the best overall. Jamie made the damned meringue
@@onidamb1247 ok maybe not overall but. It’s the best he’s done in pass it on for ages!

I’ve missed you, James.
Jamie and Mike definitely deserve the badge because let's be honest. Whether that bowl had been mixing for 1 minute or 10, Barry would have still turned it off.
Cos it's not a hob
I am pretty sure Mike totally forgot about the meringue still whipping once he started the base, at least Barry stopped it then tasted it
@@toddyoung913 Mike checked it at 5:51, when he was almost done with his time, but it was still warm.
@@CircleThinker I read 'knob' instead of job 😏🤓
He literally checked nothing and just turned it off. He had no idea if Jamie or Mike had made it
The baked Alaska reveal-
Barry: 😃
Mike and Jamie: 🙃
Think it was more of a lightly toasted Alaska but yeah they were not impressed.
@@masons.495 A lightly toasted Alaska with a filling of kiwi milkshake soup.
James sounds genuinely surprised when he says "They DO know how to make a meringue!" It almost feels like he didn't trust any of them 😂
Poor James. They are putting him in such a position of power and our poor boy is trying to balance honesty and being nice.
I felt like he was way nicer with the badges than Ebbers usually is
@@RStarrzky Yeah, I don't think Ebbers would have given Barry a Meringue badge, since Barry didn't really do anything with the meringue.
@@LemurDreamer87 There wasn't really much he could do tho.
@@GmodGTX Fair enough.
@@RStarrzky Ebbers jokes combined with an innocent face puts him ahead enough that he can afford to be harsh and remain popular anyway
Barry fully understanding what they meant him to do, but deciding to go in a completely different direction is the most Barry thing ever.
James being so defensive about not being a normal “I’m not a normal” is brilliant
me thinks the chef doth protest too much...
It's hard work to become a professional chef you know 😅
He's "Abby-normal"
Should be on a shirt js
Janice addressed the normals, and he responded. So yes he was in the right to point it out, he acted out if instinct and put himself there.
I've been very impressed with Jamie throughout these "normals edition" challenges. His execution may not be "chef" level, but he's clearly succeeded in integrating small tips and tricks into his cooking habits.
I completely agree with you!
I also think he has grown the most. He is a comic relief, in a way, and early on that was all he did. Now he can really cook!
Yes, I definitely get the impression the Jamie is the one who has taken what he's learned at work and brought it home the most!

Im sure the team might be tired of hearing it, and I'm not taking away from anyone else since everyone is wonderful, but DAM it's nice to have James back on set. He was really the person I originally subscribed for before starting to enjoy everyone else.
Interesting, he always seemed like a background character to me. (beloved nonetheless)
He and mike ( and he & Janice) are the main reason I watch.
I wish he would cut his hair, though. Bob Ross always pops into my mind when I see him.
@@betsystone5733 Lolol. I agree, but haven’t made the Bon Ross connection. Now it’s all I will see!
Mike MVP as always. "This has Barry fu**ing Taylor written all over it" 🤣🤣🤣
Just want to thank you guys so much for consistently sharing such high-quality and fun videos for so many years! I began watching you guys since secondary school, and since then I have graduated from uni, worked, and currently studying a post-graduate degree.. and I still absolutely enjoy watching your videos! They always makes me happy :) Really thank you for the effort you have all put in all these time!
I'm just here for Mike's shocked/adoring look at James when he gets rated the highest.
I feel like him having time off during lockdown gave a kinder, gentler James. 😅
Pass It On is my favorite! So happy there is a new one of these.
It's our favourite to watch, worst to be a part of!! J
@Anayira Nwolkmar yay! What is it that makes you love them so much?
I love that I get to LOL about all the carnage that ensues in the kitchen, but also the creativity of the challenge. And the way that some dishes get salvaged.
I needed that attitude earlier this week when I misread teaspoons for tablespoons in a recipe. Decided I was going to fully commit. Luckily ended up with okay dinner in the end. 😂
@@SortedFood haha. I can imagine that. I have done a Mystery Box Challenge in the past with friends. But I don’t think I could ever commit to Pass It On. The stress of not having anything remotely edible in the end would kill me. 😂
YES! I'm soooo glad we're getting the reaction videos again, they were some of my favourites. Thank you Sorted!
“The Normals’ most recent attempts were more Mer-wrong than Meringue.” - Janice, Sass Specialist, 2021.
We are off to a great start already! 😂
I don't know why she hates us so much!!
you shocked me a little with the "2020" there
2021? 😂
SORRY I MADE A TYPO.
@@PokhrajRoy. lol I only noticed in early April that I'd been writing 2020 all year
I don't think this relay format works for badges like these as its mainly on 1 person not to mess up and doesn't show each 'normal' attempting the badge. Happy you tried the idea though!
Jamie: well thought out steps and good preparation of the meringue
Mike : proper cooling of the meringue, as well as switching from a tart to pastry which is a great idea
Barry " I am going to make a baked alaskan in 40 minutes" Taylor : let's cut some ice creams and put it in the freezer and hope it sets in time
😅😅😅😅
Yes!! Love bringing back the reaction videos!!! Barry looked crushed. He always has big aspirations, he just needs to try it in a non timed setting
Mike: "Makes it obvious what barry has to do"
Barry: "Understands but changes it anyways"
Barry: I'm going to leave arrows so they know what they need to do
Me: "facepalms"
Exactly!
Pineapple?
@@mikesvendsen7333 I love that they both went "pineapple?" Before checking the fridge...classic
Because Barry would be using the pineapple.
3:23 I love when they point out the uses for excess ingredients
I love pass it on. Just hearing the intro music makes me so happy! I always say “Where’s the dish” and “oh dear oh dear” in the same sassy voices that James and Janice use. I’m in my happy place ☺️
Ditto! That theme music makes my heart sing knowing we're going to get an entertaining episode!
I think Barry deserves more credit.. he came up with the idea and the flavour combinations!
the problem was that he didnt make anything, he was the idea man but that was it
Love that they just went with it and put Barry’s badge up as a “squid” badge.
Since the meringue was made so early i thought meringue tarts and cookies could had been done with the baked Alaska. Looks good still.
Gonna be real, I don't think I would've given Barry the badge, he didn't interact with the meringue at all, and nor did he comment on anything to do with it other than saying "that's good meringue"
YES! The reacts are back, THANK YOU!!!
Barry without fail seems to always go in see what’s going on and completely change the idea 😂
As usual, Mike and Jamie do their best, while Barry does his own thing nearly screws everything up xD
Jamie does deserve a higher note, but I would have given Barry a 3
They were definitely on their best behavior with James watching them 😂 And I know he deserves time off but I still missed the Ebbers reactions
This has been one of my favorite Pass it Ons. Great to have James back! Brings such a dryness to the bit it's perfect.
So Barry in twenty minutes...
Defrosted some ice cream and turned off the mixer?
If we're being... charitable, it's assumed he demonstrated he did *know* how to do the meringue, he just didn't have to because Jamie covered that base. And he did choose the direction (By ignoring everyone else's, and then not doing a whole bunch towards it despite getting a 20 minute time but... semantics).
So, I guess the badge is fair, and James admitted the 6 was mostly not to make him feel bad.
Yes a reaction video!!!! Cool, absolutely looking forward to seeing it.
“Where’s...the dish?” is ICONIC.
James feels like Ben's cool substitute teacher here. Love it!
James was too nice with the scores 😂
Yay!!! So glad you're bringing back the reaction videos!
YAY!! Janice is back!! I’ve missed the fierceness that is Janice!!!!
I love all of your videos, and this one still manages to be my favorite one I've watched in a while! The running commentary from James and the normals uncomfortably explaining their choices at the end were great. I like this format where the process of a Pass It On is observed by one of the chefs!
Officially calling all curveballs "making a cloud egg" going forward in my life.
Pulling a Barry
Best advice I ever got in a kitchen. Your hands are your best tool.... Why does everyone separate whites and yolks like this? Use your hand, it's got finger to let the yolk intact and the fingers let the white drop out....full control..
As soon as I saw normals only I knew this was going to be good
th-cam.com/video/FLhEIPdN1Ts/w-d-xo.html
'Good' in which way? 😂
@@SortedFood entertainment - the only way that matters 😂
Don't press on the GetRektFN TH-cam link it's not a Sorted video(warning)
@@SortedFood "Good" as in Barry's going to make a baked Alaska instead of a tart because somehow he's more comfortable with the former.
Very excited for the upcoming Friday video!
“I don’t want to be a *beep*, but I am going to be a *beep*” - Michael Brian Huttlestone, 2021.
WHAT. A. QUOTE 😂
Already looking forward to the Friday video!!! Great to hear that you bring the reactions back
That banana and Mikes reactions 😆
We need a banana themed Pass It On
Awesome! More reaction videos!
Thanks for the video, everyone did pretty well this time and the end product looked pretty good!
Jamie went WAY underrated with the big banana 5head play.
Thanks for the videos everyone~ it makes life better for me
Loved this one but I think James should have given Mike a blow torch badge too. That was some brilliant torching Mike
My favorite creation was when I used vanilla graham crackers for a lemon berry cheesecake. It was delicious!
sometimes people in my life do a barry and i wish i could tell them that they are doing a barry but i cant because they wouldnt understand and its is quite upsetting but then i come on here and i see the actual barry do a barry and i just know that literally everyone in the comments knows what doing a barry is and all of a sudden i feel content
Uhhhh, alright then
Loving this RR format, where the chefs spectate. And yes! More reactions please!
When Jamie spoiled the first set off egg whites.... I laughed like an idiot.....
Oh Jamie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm glad to see more confident Mike - that 8 was well deserved IMO. I agree with the pass - you guys deserve it just for figuring out what was going on after Barry's turn :D I would say that the baked Alaska was nice idea but also unnecessary complication to great and organized start. Pass it on is no place for improvisation - predictability is the way to go. You can always try new flavours etc. but others need to be able to decipher what were you thinking.
James was waay too generous to Barry. He should be able to identify that everything would have been great if Barry had been a team player.
Jaime 8, Mike 8, Barry 2
The issue is Jamie made the meringue at the very beginning giving the others nothing to do besides make sure it's not over whipped and pipe it. (Both very simple things to do.) I do agree that Barry shouldn't of gotten a badge for what he did, but his performance wasn't all that bad...
Totally agree. And Barry should know about other pie fillings besides a curd. Mixed berries in a jam or coulis would have been a perfectly fine filling.
@@tylermarch7959 this was probably the most calm and collective he has every been, but he still didnt do much. In a full twenty minutes all he did was put premade icecream in a mold and put biscuit base on it. His calmness got him the points.
Yay! I'm so glad you guys are going to react to them again!
I love watching Mike listening to Janice like he has no idea what she's going to say.
I don't think he does. I'm pretty sure Janice's lines are recorded after the pass-it-on. They are being talked to by one of the producers during the episode, and Janice is dubbed over.
I feel that Jamie definitely proved he knew how to make a swiss meringue and Mike demonstrated he knew as well by checking the bowl and then leaving it going. Barry didn't check the bowl, he just figured it was probably going long enough and took it off the beater.
I feel like it'd be fun for them to get to redeem themselves and battle for one of the other guys' badges that they don't have.
Ooooh this is good. Like a "badge steal" match!
They can already do that though, they said that any badges they haven't earned they can try to get in other battles on top of whatever they're supposed to compete for
@@chairofthebored No it's like stealing a badge from one of the others
Going "I don't want to do this thing that is already in the works, I want to do X" is SUCH a Barry Taylor move!
*Barry sets fire to the kitchen*
James: Here's a kiwi slicing badge Barry, good work.
I'M SO HAPPY THEY'RE BRINGING BACK THE PASS IT ON REACTION VIDEOS
I feel like watching the boys react to each other's ideas and mistakes makes it 10x funnier!
