What an absolute tragedy that Ben and Adam's mics not working cost us an entire Snack Zone
Biggest betrayal of the series
NOOOOOOOOO
i havent watched the episode yet and thats my favorite part of the series
We all know the only reason we all watching is because of snack zone
What! I haven't seen Snack Zone since last Episode! :(
Normally the top comment is some big spoiler that I regret reading, but never has the pain been so raw as seeing this
I love the running joke of them bringing elaborate disguises but never getting to actually use them
Well adam had a disguise but for some reason left the wig off so ben and sam could see him. So he had the chance to use it but was a little dumb to not
@@anorangepear5792 they couldn't really use it when they were both inside their cars
@@franrandom4665 nah im talking about their 72 hour game of tag
And it's so funny that it makes the disguises worth it, so it's a win-win.

I cannot believe that Sam and Toby decided to make a boat out of sponges. You know, sponges, which are notorious for *checks notes* absorbing water.
absolutely wild thought process on their behalf
I know!!!! I was like buoyant??? Sponges are not buoyant, they are absorbent. I guess they aren’t bath 🛁 people 😂😂😂
If you don't squeeze them they can float for sure, but in the sea with waves it is unlikely to work.
Sam: Gains a 2 hour advantage.
The Universe: And I took that personal.
Honestly, has Sam ever won a game of jet lag? (barring the pilot season which he played by himself and I don’t even know if he won)
@@demolisherman1763 Yes, the Connect 4 one
@@zeldadinosaur which his victory was also controversial too
@@UnCursed how was it controversial?
@@boarbot7829 Because technically Ben and Adam won that season too. Utah's east border is not actually a straight line with Colorado. You can draw a perfectly North-South line and it will go through Arizona, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. Which Ben and Adam had before Sam even got to Montana.
Toby's speeches without the letter e were marvellous! She's such a good fit for the series and provides a calm and balanced nuance against Ben and Adam's chaos.
And she's also a good match for Sam. Feel like with Brian Sam just kinda rolled over him with decisions but Toby is really in it and making smart decisions. Not a whole lotta chemistry between them like with Ben & Adam but they seem to be vibin
Brian is too much of an Irish grouch to do this series, no idea how he even got on a second season
@@MrBcardinal35Brian is a legend!
@@cvbattumToby is also very rule following while Sam has a habit of cutting corners. It balances out really well.
And Sam's unlikeability 😊
Toby's knitting skills singlehandedly winning them the lead was a masterstroke! I'm loving this season, it's such a well-designed game!
I'm super sad that Ben and Adam's messed up mics on the ferry cost us a Snack Zone
That’s how I felt as well 😭
Jet Lagged really does make Wednesday the best day of the week.
I know right?!
I have never loved Wednesdays this much
Same
I am always looking forward to it lol
Ikr
Facts!! Wednesdays couldn't come soon enough
Sometimes while watching Jet Lag, I think "Guys, calm down, it's just a game". Then not a minute later, I realize that my heart rate is up because I'm so nervous that someone's gonna get Nerfed, or miss a train, or have a stroke of bad luck. The suspense is real!
I absolutely love getting over excited over the small things xD My favorite was in Auckland where Sam&Toby had to plot their route around MacDonalds so as to not lose them time due to their curse xD
Dude you pick a team to support and stick to not be neutral or switzerland
@@hansikagv4976it’s fun to mainly support a team, while also being happy when the other one does well
The split after Picton is simply the most crucial thing I've seen yet this season. Sam and Toby skipping the fish challenge could save them time, but with Ben and Adam gaining more coins to curse Sam and Toby could really cost them time. I'm sure that it could be a battle of curses until the next intersection of the route and it should be really exciting.
Just saw the next episode on Nebula. All I can say is: OMG.
@@axr7149 Now I'm even more desperate for next wednesday 😭
Yeah, I think Sam is underestimating how important Ben and Adam *not* following is. It's already been established Sam and Toby love to place roadblocks in the most strategical spots possible, and since they get to the challenges first they will always have the coins to place them. Not to mention the boys being forced to fish? They'll just stay behind for the rest of the game. They need powerups to make a comeback.
@@axr7149 spoil it for me idc
@@dylanbaron__ The OP basically summed it up nicely.
Gotta love how Ben keeps up the positive mood in the team, like complimenting Adam for good reference or pointing out small details. This season I honestly tried to root for other team than Ben and Adam, but I guess, I will be rooting for them again.
I thought maybe they'd split up Ben and Adam this season for some variety, but you can't beat the dream team.
@@gamingtime9716 I don’t think they would ever split them because of the dynamic, you’d be surprised the little things that can affect views.
@@gamingtime9716 I’d allow it, if and only if they did an elaborate reenactment of “this grill is not a home”
They’re annoying.
@gamingtime9716 I thought about it as well, but my conclusion was that a Sam-Adam combination would be too powerful but perhaps not as entertaining and a Sam-Ben combination would drive both of them crazy. Sam seems like he will have less patience with Ben's Shannanigens while Adam enjoys them and still manages to stay focused on the competition
I did however enjoy the chase season where we got to see a mix up between them and how each of them behaved when running solo
Toby's no E speech is better than some real campaign speeches
She's young, smart, and coherent, which are not traits a lot of politicians nowadays have
The Battle of Wellington was the most intense I’ve felt watching Jet Lag so far, Sam and Toby put on their speed running shoes for the campaign speech without using e no less
The Battle of Wellington shall be written about in history books for years to come.

From guiding Sam around blindfolded, knitting the tie, to writing the e-less speech Toby really helped work through the curse. Too bad about the Sting Rays.
It's crazy how we got 6 episodes of content just from the North Island
I know!!! I'm sure the south island is going to be shorter, but it's okay. The next season wont be too far.
@@888records didn't they say that ep 8 is the finale?
@@cfoples That’s possible, I might have missed that or forgotten
@@888records ye episode 8 is the finale.
Only 2 more episodes.
“Skip the fish” (expression, verb) - to cleverly avoid doing a difficult task
Example- “To avoid a penalty, they decided to skip the fish”
Get. Outta. Here.
Before i (and possibly many) will die of intense laughter.
I imagine "I'm afraid they might skip the fish" is a sentence that has never been said before now.
NOT to be confused with "jump the shark"
@@static2735 Or "flip the bird".
@@KoenVerheyen The expression you’re looking for is “touch the bird”
I desperately need merch that says "I'm Toby, running to top job." Absolutely dying at Toby's speeches, they're perfect!!!!
Honestly can’t believe you guys don’t have more subscribers. I’m not the one to usually comment on youtube section but gotta admire what you guys do. You show insane commitment to these top tier quality videos whilst having under half a million subscribers. Please keep going and you’ll grow so big! These always make my day!
I was gonna say the same. Spot on. They make me happy every Wednesday. Sadly this episode is shorter lol😢
Perhaps the Nebula viewers don't bother to also sub on TH-cam?
Almost half a million in a year is a big accomplishment tbh
@@DonnaxNL exactly what I was thinking, they have had insane growth. It isn’t like they are going under the radar lol
People need to remember that Subscribers aren't really popular anymore on TH-cam. I am not a Subscriber and I am still up to date, because TH-cam's algorithm just works at this point. There is no point for subscription, because I am barely looking through my subscription box anymore.
OH MY GOODNESS that clutch play by Toby knitting the tie and writing the speeches with no "E"s was so hype!!!! Such a close call too! But now I'm super worried about how the route choice is gonna affect them going forward. This season is so nuts I can't wait to see more! Go Team Sam & Toby!!
Didn't she say "Ben" in the last speech? Why wasn't that counted as an "e" word?
@@wave1090 No, she said "ban" all Adams.
@@PJBgamer Agreed
@@PJBgamer Oh I thought she said "atoms" and got really confised
West route was the right play for sure. regardless of any speed difference, it also gives ben and adam some time to collect more coins that they can use to curse their way back into the game without having to also worry about roadblocks. well played!
trying to use a sponge as a boat is hilarious considering archimedes principle
Yeah, that's, like... the whole point of sponges.
Love how Ben and Adam obviously hired an actor to play “concerned local” that hour veto with the “stingrays” was a game changer lol
No way!! How could they hire
@@trithinaikrane584 well, Ben & Adam did create the challenges, so they could have hired a local as a "sleeper agent" to be called into action if Sam &Toby caught the early ferry.
(To be clear, I don't think this is true, just fun to work the conspiracy theory to logical conclusion.)
Um what? I hope this is a joke…
Considering they didn't know about the amoebas in the hot springs I doubt they would have even thought about stingrays.
@@I.No. why would I be joking? Don’t you watch this show. Ben and Adam OBVIOUSLY are criminal masterminds 😂😂
I liked the animation of Toby's hair flying backward when they are crossing the sea in the ferry
Ikr
I love the fact that Ben and Adam were really hoping that Sam and Toby would have a hard time finding a tie, and Toby KNITTED (or crocheted?) her own! Great play.
This is such a small part of the episode but I really liked the ferry animation showing Toby’s hair flapping in the wind 😂 hats off to all the animators for every little thing they put into these episodes
I just noticed that but that is amazing
I just can’t get over the editing skills and animations Jet Lag has
I Just realized just how much love and detail you put into the graphics: I loved the hair following Toby on the ferry.
Finally I was looking for this comment hha
Jet Lag highlighting how inconsistent the ferry services between the Islands hits home hard... In the future, seeing a game where Ben and Adam are on different teams would be awesome, and an epic battle of strategic minds
I find it hilarious that each team thinks the “smart move” for the other team is the exact opposite of what happened 😂.
Toby was like "buy a tie? It'd be a real shame if someone just knitted one!" She's living in the year 3000 for real 😆
It keeps catching me off guard how long Toby's hair is. It's insanely long!
I think it is a good move Ben and Adam taking the west route. Sam has shown how skilled he is with throwing roadblocks and he and Toby have a lot of coins, that is what got them so far behind. So taking the west route (opposite of what Toby and Sam are doing) allows Ben and Adam to earn up coins on challenges with out the danger of getting roadblocked in the middle of nowhere.
Ben and Adam got lucky. Their ferry & Sam and Toby's veto almost made them the equivalent of being on the same ferry
This is probably my favourite Jet Lag season so far. ❤❤
The Europe one was quite good imo but I think this one is up there
Same, I thought I wouldn't like it as much because the area they're playing in isn't as big as the US, but wow this series is good
@@chocolatesquare1000 i think my issue with the europe one is that it only really took place in 3-4 countries
@@itsmaiken Well, this one mostly takes place inside cars
@@TheCrimsonFlaming yeah but it isnt like in season one, where they literally had to complete a challenge a state etc. this one has so much drama and so much time outside of cars
the 1:00 ferry is a larger boat, therefore takes longer to unload, the 3:45 ferry is smaller therefore quicker to unload, so that was an advantage Ben and Adam
Toby is actually so good in this series! Total underdog, but her and sam are such a good team! GO TEAM TOBY!👏
I am so happy for Ben and Adam to be back in the game! At first I thought that the intrigue was dead, the guys were just so unlucky! But now they are back on track!! It's amazing!!
О, неожиданно кто-то из русскоговрящих тоже Jet Lag смотрит) Могу паролем от Nebula поделиться, на неделю раньше будешь смотреть
It’s either 3:45pm or 15:45. It’s never 03:45pm. The leading zero indicates it’s 24 hour clock and indicates am.
Jet Lag is like some reality show on TV but without the annoying or fake drama and childish fights. 💚
I know they took inspiration from “The Amazing Race” but those producers decided to play up the fighting and drama, while this show is more about friendship. The sheer wholesomeness of Jet Lag is what makes it fantastic though!
I can’t help but always root for Ben and Adam
Same
Fr
Sam is on average at a disadvantage because he changes partner every season, but Ben and Adam is solid, the chemistry is great, the vibe is wonderful. Team Ben and Adam 💯%
I usually am too but for this season I'm picking Sam's team. For one, he never won so I hope he wins this one time and I just don't like the strategy of ben and Adam this season.
I feel conflicted this season. I originally wanted to root for Sam & Toby, but Sam is just a bit too eager to win it. Ben & Adam seem to be way more relaxed and actually take time to enjoy it. And now that they lost two times by a matter of seconds, I can't help but root for them to make a comeback.
Them struggling to not say E is cracking me up lol
Well they could have either write to each other on sketchbooks or notebooks technically, or speak in another language that doesn't require the alphabet such as Chinese or Japanese. Chinese and Japanese are symbol based languages so asking to not speak with a specific sound is nearly impossible as there's a different word to replace the word that you wanted to say.
Same said D-O-N… Dee…
We're back again! Truly the highlight of the week, I hope you guys have more awesome ideas planned in the future!
They do! Recently they mentioned on the podcast that they are finishing details for season 6 and have done some basic outline for season 7.
I just watched ep 7, you are gonna love it
Ok, Ben & Adam got lucky and now have a slight chance to actually be able to win this. Skipping the Fish challenge is going to cost Sam & Toby a lot of points, probably bringing Ben & Adam into the points lead. And if Sam & Toby get really unlucky with the other challenges, they can probably waste an hour. In my opinion going west was the right call.
Yeah, not sure if going east really was the play for Sam and Toby.
Like, in the west they could reliably collect coins AND they wouldn't have to skip so instead of spending 100 place a big "roadblack" they could plonk 6 (6!!!!) roadblocks and still come out ahead on coins.
Probably 7 if you count the opportunity cost of the coins gained in the fish challenge being skipped too.
@@brick6176 The more interesting part would be if they choose to play their challenge skip card on the fishing challenge and instead play it on the christchurch challenge. The christchurch challenge sounds like a massive pain and I would prefer to just get it that out of the way and try my hand at fishing instead
Yeah it pretty much makes the coins equal? Seems like a really bad strategy
@@martyshwaartz971 for Sam and Tobi or Ben and Adam?
It’s so funny to see Sam go into super deep thought and concentration, to finally have him just say “…fast”
It is funny how Sam speaks it like he could just say the words normally like I am going to walk instead he is like I. Am. Going. To. Walk. Even when they have their words planned out they still hesitate
I received news of a relative passing away today and was in a really sad mood and this episode got some good laughs out of me, thank you so much
Sorry for your loss!
have fun man
Sorry for your loss.
sending love dawg 🫶
Toby’s knitted tie is a vibe
I'm from New Zealand. I'm impressed you both made it across on your booked ferries at all.
They've had ongoing breakdowns and cancellations. The waiting list to rebook is up to a month long.
Toby has my vote! Another epic adventure and boy are they getting a lot of close calls this season. Loving it. Thanks for all the amazing work.
As a New Zealander, it is so cool to see you guys doing my favourite show in my home country! Also, I just want to say, its not that hard to catch a fish in kaikora :)
I've never been as invested in a TH-cam series as I am with jetlag.
“I’ll ban all Adams from Waitangi Park. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you”
that killed me so hard
Ben and adam are simply just the dynamic duo
Ben and Adam, huge "Fleishman Is in Trouble" fan right here. Read the book and seen the show. Both are 10/10s; absolutely magnificent.
never heard of either but im goad someone got the reference 💃
Can you guys add the current time everytime you show the map? I think it improve the viewing experience.
I don't think they'll do that as I think in the post/editing, things are, erm, more creative than we're led to believe (like finishing that wellington challenge in what, 9 minutes?)
Toby and Sam really were _running_ for president 😂
Prime minister in NZ..
i love how toby wrote those speeches without letter E. Bravo 🔥
Did a top job!
Kia Ora. So awesome to see this video. Inspires me to do something like this against my mates. Im a kiwi and this is just awesome. My mates and I always go to Queenstown to ski (from Dunedin), and we always take different routes to get there to change things up (which are such similar time distances). Would be so cool to see which route is fastest when racing, and potentially with challenges alike this. Thank you guys for doing this, made me really fall in love with these 'board games' and made me so so proud to be from this great country of New Zealand. Tēnā koutou.
I love sam and toby as a team! Finally sam has someone who can keep up the energy and that he has chemistry with. She's also low key cracked at this, so it evens out the teams even more! This is probably my favorite season so far. Honestly I would be happy if they kept toby for the rest of the series LOL. Then maybe they could split up the teams...
She is great. But idk about her pushing the east route, I’m betting that was a horrible idea. A single challenge giving them trouble will delay them more than the other route. And as seen by them thinking sponges float, and a bunch of Sam’s other season’s challenges, they sometimes underestimate challenges like crazy and end up taking forever or vetoing when they were sure it would be easy.
I really enjoy watching Ben, Adam and Toby. I have a hard time connecting with Sam.
sameee
guys respect! this show is going far! appreciate all the work and time you ptu into these videos
Hope you lot enjoyed your stay in our amazing country! 🇳🇿
11:06 I love how they animated Toby’s braid😂😂😂
omg this episode just made me even more excited for the public release of the season finale!! can't wait to see who won and i wish you guys well on filming future seasons! ❤
eternally rooting for Toby to win
we actually need Ludwig on next season to see how good his plans are in irl
Sam's gonna go insane having to stop him from cheating
Amazing idea
yea lol
pleaaseee yes
This is the best series so far! I was so glad the ferry situation went the way it did, but the twist kept it exciting. I also have to say I absolutely adore Toby!
I am loving the structure/content of this Season of Jet Lag. I think that the additional conversations/detail in each episode is allowing for us to better understand the decisions and actions of each player. It's also allowing for more great interactions between the team members.
Sam's redemption arc is everything I ever needed.
Toby is my favorite this season
I'd vote for her for PM
Keep Adam's away from all parks 😂
Big thanks for this Series. It is very fun to watch and makes at least my wednesday one of the best days of the week.
Kaiarahi (the ship Sam & Toby was on) means "to lead or leader"
Aratere (Adam & Ben's ship) means "quick path"
Adam and Ben actually got on the fastest ferry out of all of them as Aratere has a "double linkspan" which allows a much faster loading/unloading of the vessel, while Kaiarahi has only a single linkspan and two car decks where the lower car deck has to be emptied out first, before the ramp from the upper deck can be lowered to allow the upper deck to disembark. Kaiarahi also often has problems with the doors. xD
You guys are epic! Looking forward for this every single week, lots of love and support😄😄😄
You could write a Greek tragedy about winning the wellington advantage by seconds and then losing so much of it immediately after the ferry, what a ride that was
Love this. Jet lag is such a good watch. Well put together and entertaining
I’ve been waiting all week for this episode and it was over so quickly for me 😂 I can’t wait for next Wednesday!
The game design is insane, how have you managed to make this so balanced every series you've done? Incredible.
They plan months ahead, take lots of different possibilities in consideration and play test the challenges. They also give the challenges enough time to record extra footage to make sure they’ve good content so they can edit everything well together in the end
Toby AKA the only politician you can trust ❤❤
These video's always make my Wednesdays better...
So excited for this episode!!
These are SO GOOD. You guys deserve more subs
I've never seen Ben and Adam so stressed
At the end of last episode sam said the word “sea” if they had stopped then maybe ben and adam would’ve had a chance
Omg actually?
I just finished rewatching the end. Where does he say "sea"?
@@888records I know.
@@thephysicistcuber175 My bad, the way you commented sounded like you watched the ending of this video. Sam does say “sea” in the episode before (in a scene where you don’t see him but you do see his car and hear his voice) but it is during the “In the next episode” part so I believe it is just a highlight where the “don’t say e” curse is no longer a thing
I have been waiting so long for this. Keep up the great work guys.
I absolutely love this series. Please keep it up!
I never realized how nice tobi's hair is.. its pretty :)
Nice a new video of Ben and Adam being an amazing Team
Really loving this season! This channel is one of my favourite recent discoveries 😁
YES I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS EPISODE
I reckon, Sam and Toby not going west is going to cost them. It appears a much faster option despite the distance increase.
The teams splitting at Picton was always going to happen. Ben and Adam need coins and can't afford to just follow Sam and Toby.
Jet lag: The perfect cure for a bad Wednesday
Just watched the latest episode on Nebula and OMG the ending! I CANNOT wait for the finale next week :D
8:03 they just both ran the stop sign there. They are there for a reason you know just an FYI (according to NZ Road Code you have to stop at one for at least 3 seconds. regardless of whether there is traffic at the intersection)
"all we can do is follow them"
technically, you could also cause a multi-car collision that allows you to shoot them with your nerf gun
Finally cheering for Sam's team paid off
This is getting more strategic and interesting. Now everything depends on luck.
Love this show!
I love these videos. Glad you guys are doing good!
