Jet Lag: Four people significantly underestimate the difficulty of fishing.
It’s not even hard to fish though 😭
I thought all professional fishermen used ziplock bags?
@@nick.100 Haha
The key is to find one of those small pools of water with tiny fish and scoop them up fast,
@@Blockhog They tried that too
The absolute lack of luck for Sam and Joseph made a crazy plan even funnier
Seriously. The fact that they were one roll in either direction away from hitting that 17 was crazy. If they knew about the bet minimum or took like 3 more minutes to “have fun” then they might’ve actually done it.
i think it's neat how sam's team won the last season because of luck of the draw and lost this season because of the same thing
It was not luck but bad decisions. Have they read and done the first bet correctly they would've won #800 with the first #25 and lasted longer. Had they not considered trying to find a bar with local liquor as having a good time they would've had those $300 later in time for the second 17.
@@0Clewi0 not really sure if you're joking or not, but if you are, i like it. 😂
@@0Clewi0 making a mistake is not a bad decision lmao, and your second point is literally just good luck
Random passerby: “What happened to you?”
Ben and Adam: _just successfully finished circumnavigating the world roughly 2 seconds ago_
"Funny thing is... we were just here about 92 hours ago..."
"The world is a beautiful place and i'm glad we went around it together"
Ben and Adam are the most wholesome best friends to ever exist
bruh how did he get that drunk off 3 shots
@@rydergwinn5727 Different people get drunk off of different amounts of alcohol, and in addition to that the smaller you are the faster you get drunk, and being exhausted amplifies the effects of being drunk.
@@rydergwinn5727 empty stomachs, tiredness, maybe theyre just lightweigts?
@@rydergwinn5727 I just finished watching their Connect 4 series. Ben has pretty low alcohol tolerance.
@@whiteshadow7584 think it was very exaggerated lol
I'm the only undefeated champion of Jet Lag baaaaabbbby
SPOILER WARNING (not from this season!!!!!!):
JT is also undefeated he won Crime Spree with Sam and hasn’t returned.
I 100% agree with you
@@finnrummygaming Spoilers!!!!!
@@hanz_zimmer crap my bad
@@finnrummygaming It would have been nice to have known what the spoiler warning was for before I saw it, lol. Thought it was just for this season, which is why I looked at it.
Sam & Joseph's bad luck in Singapore could be karma for bending a lot of the challenges' rules back in episode 3.
They also bent the "Have fun" challenge rules right before betting the money they got from it. It specifically says "various activities". All they did was walk around looking for alcohol, then start gambling. 2 doesn't equal various imo.
@@aprophetofrng9821 I assume that they were bending the rules so that the competition could continue, otherwise the race was over as soon as Ben and Adam did their bungee jump.
@@aprophetofrng9821 and the "fun" didn't look like fun, more like frustration
ong they were pissing me tf off the last few episodes!!! (daryl agrees) only watched for ben and adam
Sam's performance in this series is pathetic, tbh. This is supposed to be his show and resorts to logical fallacies to justify lazy ways he wants to accomplish a challenge, lol. I get it if you're losing and desperate, but it makes for pretty poor content. The show's potential is so much better than that.
Adam calling drunk Ben "buddy" like he's a dad talking to his exhausted 6 year old is SO precious
They truly are buddies.
Adam always uses the word "buddy" as if it's warmly felt term of endearment and I love that about him.
I’m 7…😢
ben and adam finding out they've catched the TINIEST fish is the best moment in this whole series
But they failed to throw it back in so didn’t they technically not achieve the card?
@@gideonmorgan9132 They did, just not in the cut
@@columbus8myhw How would you know that
@@JohnDoe-hj9fh They showed the clip in the Season 3 Nebula-exclusive after-show
Would love to see a post-game discussion/gloating session with the four of you talking about the game, the strategy and the fuck ups.
Totally agree! this series was so fun but the ending felt abrupt.
Agreed!
would love this!
At the very least, some phone call after they made it where Ben/Adam learned about them dying in Singapore. Some talk about the michelin star/bungie challenges.
Yes please!!
I have actual fears that Ben & Adam might not survive many more seasons.
I need BAC readings on Ben and Adam before every series and after every series
Good
@@ChrisHockman BAC is an acronym for Ben Adam Chaos lol
@@gregbocadella02 Chaos is really the third member of their team.
what if- what if they DIED??
Sam and Joseph doing the "Catch a fish" challenge: Here, poke a hole in this plastic bag. It's a net!
Ben and Adam doing the "catch a fish" challenge: We are licensed to fish in Australia!
Did they release the fish though?
@@rider573 from all the evidence presented: NO - so I'd say the challenge was not completed..
Not even licensed to fish in Australia. They are only licensed in New South Wales. Cross into Victoria or Queensland... ILLEGAL!!!!!
@@klaernie This is exactly what I told my wife. Fail!
@@rider573 no, they are it...
I'd love to see a series across Europe where planes are banned so it's all trains and buses which I think would be interesting
I have a feeling that's the next one. Maybe something like "visit all EU countries except Cyprus and Malta via electric vehicles only, no airplanes."
I think it would be half as interesting
They begin the next season in France, so it seems that I hope they did that as a rule !
@@firstcynic92 It wouldn’t be possible to go to Ireland by electric vehicle.
@@chrisdoherty2199 No electric boats?
Ben & Adam are one of the best duos I’ve ever seen, their humor and comradery is unrivaled
I agree
They need their own show!
I agree
I agree. I always imagine they’re a couple…
@@NickCBax yeah i think theyre gay idk
Ben and Adam's bromance is the wholesomeness we need
fr when he said "ahdahmmm da werld izs a bewti full playce ani'mglad weee wennarowndit together" i felt that 😔✊ truly one of the greatest lines in history
@@d_mon9631 ^^
Fr
Sam: Makes several videos about the logistics of gambling.
Also Sam: "Let's just bet everything on 17."
lmao
LOL
Lmfao
Smart 💀
Sam: "Hopefully there's no identifying features."
Also Sam: *Stands in front of approximately 100 French flags.*
Could be anywhere, really
Nah, that's the Tommy Hilfiger flag
This is exactly what I was thinking lmao
he had to be doing it on purpose lol
At first I thought he did it to mislead us, but curious as I am I went looking for it and managed to find the exact location in just a couple of minutes. But I guess those who don't want to know won't go looking for it.
I love the saga of “two dudes just trying to get drunk but can’t find a bar”
"Ahdahmmm, da werld izs a bewti full playce ani'mglad weee wennarowndit together" is evidence that people speak the truest things when drunk. That line is a perfect topper for this series, and really rivals every movie quote I've ever heard about friendship.
It sucks that the London-Perth flight wasn't operating yet when you filmed this. It would have been hilarious if one of the teams managed to earn a shit ton of money and make it on that flight, basically guaranteeing a win (although it likely would have been too expensive regardless).
I don’t think they would’ve made the miles that way
@@frenchiestfry9045 Denver-NYC-London-Perth-Sydney-LA-Denver is over 24,000 miles, well over what was required
Imagine they're just playing the game normally when one of them just pulls out 2,000 to get to Perth from London
LOOOL...well another real good routing would be DEN - JFK - DXB/DEL - MEL/SYD - LAX - DEN
@@asdkfjsldkf that’s 2,000+ per person if I’m not mistaken. Would likely’ve required two challenges in Denver, New York, and London each to achieve it.
Could you imagine if Sam and Joseph just conceded and booked a flight home from Singapore early so they could be at the pole when Ben and Adam arrived? Just the mix of them being so disappointed for a repeat of season one with Sam and Joseph going "congratz, you won!"
So excited for the next series: We Played Tag in Outer Space
And don't forget first one to complete sightseeing in Atlantis
The thing that got me was worrying if they were really just stuck in Singapore, and then I remembered that they probably used production budget to get home.
To be fair I think they had the money already booked aside, so they wouldnt be stranded haha. Other than gambling they're not technically actually making money
haha yeah, I'm pretty sure they had more money at their disposal, they just weren't allowed to use more than their budget. obviously without that I suppose the stakes would be even higher
Just like they had all the prize money at instant disposal.
@@2Links Honestly I'm more impressed they could get that money, and the banks never closed their cards. I've done a lot of international travel and I've never gone on a trip where the bank didn't stop charges on somebody's card. And that's with us just going to one country or a few neighboring countries HAVING TOLD THE BANK we would be in those contrives and when we would be making charges.
I can't imagine going into the bank and saying "I'm going to be out of the country for a week, but have no idea where I'm going or what I'll be buying. So I need my card approved literally everywhere on the planet all at once" and then that actually working
They managed to get home.
...All thanks to subscribers of Nebula, our streaming service platform...
That one bungee jumping challenge basically changed the whole game.
So, they went to Fiji, an obscure, magical tropical island nation that many dream of going, spent a few hours in the dark doing nothing, and left.
It was a connecting flight. I've done lots of them and never had a chance to explore outside the airport.
They drank the local water!
Well, what doesn't happen in Fiji stays in Fiji.
@@markg.1159 Wow if only someone could make it possible for me to drink the local water of that country from the comfort of my own country
I know right lol, most have sucked a bit
Ben and Adam truly deserved the win, they were always confident about what the plan was (apart from when they landed in Singapore), and a little luck for sure but they played very well. It seems to be a trend that one team (Sam and Joseph) do really well the first day then screw themselves over and lose (happened in Connect4 when Ben and Adam didn't just rush Utah/Montana). Let's home that's not carrying on in Season 3!
They especially deserved it because sam and joseph just completely gave up when there was more they could have done. Since their only hope was that it hit 100 hours, they even outright said that so they knew, they could have gone to swipe more challenges to make ben and adam's life harder. Easily could have looked up a place to go to to find a local liquor and bought an actual net to fish.
@@firstlast446 yeah I feel like they were pissed about wasting the $700 on their Seoul flight and Sam knew Ben and Adam had way more money and were in the same city, but yeah I agree that he gave up way too easily.
@@firstlast446 It's also possible Singapore just wouldn't have let them stay in the country if they didn't get on there flight and didn't have one booked. Because if that isn't the case it would be incredibly easy to "immigrate" to another country by just booking some flight you won't take.
@@CaptNSquared they already have a 30 day social visit pass by default. They can stay as long as they need in Singapore for this game
Yeah I kept thinking “why don’t you just go to a liquor store or to some random supermarket and find a few bottles of the shitty Island beer the guy mentioned?” I guess you could argue they were afraid drinking in public was illegal in Singapore but still they could’ve at least tried
Ben and Adam are fast becoming the most iconic duo in a long time. Seriously, it is like they embody the little guys on the Internet that just get shit done somehow.
Big up for this channel, this is honestly my favorite channel of the year by a long mile. I can't wait for more.
Random person: What happened to you?
Adam and Ben: Oh nothing much, We just circumnavigated the globe
New tradition: Ben must get drunk every game
If the next season doesn't involve him getting drunk, then they have to add a post-credits scene for it.
Seeing Ben drunk is the funniest thing.
If there's no drunk Ben in season 3 I'll be sad
Apparently he only gets drunk on jet lag the game.
@@jonjanson2 Well, if you're going to get drunk, it should be with thousands of people watching!
Watched it last week on Nebula.
I'd really like to see more reactions from the other team, regarding challenges, or especially in this case the ending.
Like the call from Adam & Ben just to learn, that they basically won already
Ditto. I also wondered why Sam and Joseph gave up instead of doing more challenges in hopes of stranding Ben and Adam somewhere with no available challenges to progress them.
@@kevind814 that would kinda be childish way to end cause it would be like well if we can’t win neither can you
@@nick.100 It would have been a completely legitimate way to force a tie since they didn't even need to completely lock them out just delay them 8 hours to hit the 100 hour time limit
was kinda annoying they just gave up and didn't even try anything
@@firstlast446 either way they only used 2 more tasks after they gave up which was drink local liquor which they couldn’t do cause there wasn’t any and catch a fish which they already tried and gave up on. So even if they did try to block them out with the other things it wouldn’t have matter unless they managed those two tasks
So in the end, it was Sam and Joseph's unwillingness to do any of the ambitious and more high paying challenges and Ben and Adam's ability to do whatever challenge they wanted regardless of price that ending up determining the outcome of the game
But Sam and Joseph were going to go bungee jumping, they just couldn't because Ben and Adam did first. It's not at all that they were "unwilling" to do it. That was fully their plan but Ben and Adam just got to it first.
@@AndrewTyberg They could have done fishing and the sea shell one likely at the same time. Would have got them several hundred and prevented Ben and Adam from affording the flight out of Fiji.
@@AnderEvermore but how would have been better content? Then we'd have two teams who failed the challenge
@@AnderEvermoreI agree, they were on an island for goodness sakes
I would like to say this season is probably the most exciting of the 3 (counting crime spree) and the challenges seem more developed and better thought out that previously.
Since S3 is already recorded I guess this comment will be more of a suggestion for S4.
I feel that the challenges should be slightly more rigid in rules, specifically the go cart one and the have a good time one seemed like a really loose definition and dont do the challenge justice. Also I think it would be cool to encourage the use of alternative forms of transport rather than exclusively air travel.
Maybe a decrease in the reward proportional to the distance from where the last challenge was completed so you might get 25% if your closer than 10 miles from the last place then 50% if your between 10 and 25 , 75% for 25 to 50 miles and something similar. This makes it more likely for a team to find a flurry of buses between large cities for their next flight allowing for more money to be made from challenges in between.
Anyway thanks for your time reading this and can't wait for sep 7th.
How about at least one train ride over a certain distance? Or cross a border by means other than plane or car?
great suggestions! totally agree with these, especially the lesser emphasis on air travel and the decreasing amount with distance!
I love the alternate transit suggestion. If you have ever seen geowizard’s “how not to travel europe” series he gets across Europe with the goal of as many transportation types as possible, which i find to make that series one of the best ever made on youtube
A manhunt over a single european country without air travel would be a super fun concept
I definitely think using different methods of transportation would be good. I'm not sure how they would incentivize it though since it would surely be slower. Reward a little money for it? Require at least one leg of the trip (of some minimum distance) be done by land or water? Instead of a reward maybe a sort of "refund" based on a percentage of the savings they're making on the carbon offsetting budget?
Discovered this series halfway through and it’s the perfect length, style and content for a relaxing evening watching with snacks. It’s a shame Covid exists, many places would’ve been fascinating options in this game, like china
Relaxing? This is stressful!

"So, I think we should go for the fishing challenge."
"Ok, let me google where we can buy a rod."
"Oh, no! It says here we'll need an Australian fishing license to this challenge!"
"Wow, that's sounds like a lot of bureaucracy! How will we gonna make it?"
"Oh, actually it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience!"
"Oh, really?"
I don't think you understand when to use that phrase...
@@kelogorn No u don't
I am amazed they were able to get a fishing license in what seemed like minutes. I guess maybe they just have to complete a quiz or something?
Gyan Reorge
@@Jomskylark Getting a recreational fishing licence in most Australian states is basically just paying a fee to the relevant government department. It actually does only take minutes.
Now I want to see Sam and Joseph vlogging as homeless Singaporeans.
"get a subway LA!" would you mind telling this to all the NIMBYs in West Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, The Valley...
I think Jet Lag deserves more recognition, it needs more funds to keep this going
They should consider Patreon as another source of income to run the channel
Season 3 based on what I can tell will involve European trains and John Green
I don't know about John Green, but I've discovered that they're in Europe
@@bibliophile4292 how?
@@gamerofgolds there were words on the building that I traced to somewhere in France
@@gamerofgolds literally like 5 French flags in the background on the building.......
“Hopefully there are no identifying marks” literally couldn’t have been more French if they were standing in front of the Eiffel Tower
The craziest decision of this whole entire race was Ben and Adam going all the way to Santa Monica Pier from LAX to get 4 shots of bourbon.
This, couldn't they just buy something in the airport shop? (I've never been to US so idk if there's some problem)
@@AhimtarHoN, the rules said that the challenges had to be done at least 5 miles (IIRC; that's about 8km) from the airport.
@@petertaylor4980 Oh right. Still, they could've found the nearest shopping mall maybe?
I would very much enjoy a recap at the end where they have to explain to each other all the mishaps, failed challenges, flights to see some reactions. Especially as these encompass multiple episodes.
The cliffhanger last episode was so compelling I went to sign up to nebula and then realized I was broke
The grand finale comes through! Just as thrilling as I expected. Wow!
Very entertaining lol!
4:40
Let's yell at Sam (?)
I would love to see you playing this game in Europe only by public transport (rail, tram, subway, bus, ferry). From a European perspectiv esp. the first season was very strange considering the excessive presence of rental cars and flights in the US. I would love to see the guys struggeling buying a bus ticket in Norway or a train ticket in Macedonia
I loved how Ben realized he was going to have to jump in in his underwear, looked around and contemplated if that would be okay, then they saw the fish
I wish the Nebula episode had the same outro as the youtube episodes! I got Nebula for this series finale but it abruptly cut off about 3 minutes earlier than this episode went on for and resulted in a super anti-climactic ending. If all of the Nebula episodes don't have a more finalized outro I probably will stick with watching the episodes on youtube honestly, or at least the finales.
Yeah that was surprising. Had to check this video to see if there's anything after the original ending.
yeah lol i was super confused I thought it was supposed to be for comedic effect or something
ooh thanks for this comment, I was just going through reading the comments but hadn't watched it on youtube yet :0 time to watch the end right now!
Back when I had Nebula, I found that some of the series just ended without any sort of conclusion. Feel like they make the TH-cam version with the conclusion and Nebula promo, then just chop off end.
Do you think its worth the money? Considering buying it but if these episodes kinda suck on Nebula, maybe not.
I can’t express how frustrating it was to watch you guys play roulette and not play blackjack…
You can't record blackjack without getting kicked out, so it would make for significantly less entertaining video
Or poker! That’s how you win a lot
@@jacks.4062 a lot of these international casino’s don’t have live cash game poker
@@wheezybeans4372 true I didn’t think of that
You only have an edge in blackjack if you know how to play it properly and are counting cards, which I'm assuming these guys don't know how to do. If you don't know how to count cards you might as well be playing roulette.
For the challenges, you can also include, "Do a Meet and Greet" and atleast 5 people have to show up in a couple of hours...
I love that not only did Sam and Joseph just straight up attempt to poach a fish in Singapore and post the evidence online, but they then ended up stuck in Singapore. Kinda disappointed that they didn't just book the flight home and wait for Ben and Adam to show up just to scare the shit out of them, though.
Same. That would've been funny as hell.
“Get drunk on local liquor” I did not expect 4 shots of bourbon lol
I think it would have been funnier if Sam and Joseph had booked a flight straight to Denver to beat them to the meeting spot, only to then concede that they had in fact lost.
I would have loved to see Sam and Joseph's reaction to Adam and Ben completing the fish challenge. Or Adam and Ben's reaction to the news that the other two are stuck at Singapore. Great season! Just binged all 3 and this is my new favorite channel for relaxing.
25:00 has one of my favorite perfectly cut moments ever just flawless cutaway
This Channel is what finally made me get Nebula. Such a great series (especially because Ben and Adam finally won!!)
We definitely need them in the coming seasons, they are a god tier duo.
Season 3 with Sam, Ben, and Adam, has finished filming and it seems to be based in Europe and involves trains (they have been spotted in train stations)
Ditto.
same
Already watched this last week on Nebula, but I'm gonna watch it again because it was so good!
+1
Please do, there is additional stuff at the end.
I don't know why but the part I absolutely lost it at was "theRE's BUBbles!, ROLler coassstttTERS, the BEEACHH, builDINGS, nowwegottago."
The two faces of luck in full display on this video.
Really happy for Ben & Adam!!!
And big props to Sam & Joseph! They could've just tried to make whatever tasks were left, making not enough money to get out of Singapore but hindering Ben & Adam's progress by taking those tasks away from them.
They knew they'd lost, and accept it gracefully.
I wished the gambling paid off it would’ve been so funny if you won that way, congratulations Ben and Adam for winning one
(spoilers) Really cool to see Ben and Adam finally win one. They deserved it at this point.
If I may, I don't know how popular my opinion is but I do find myself still preferring Connect 4 and especially Crime Spree over this game. I think it's about the interaction between the teams - the setup of the prior games were more conducive to teams directly interacting each other and thus having to get into each other's heads to try to preempt the other's move. Think how Ben and Adam cut off Arizona last season or that whole Boston airport hotel sequence in Crime Spree.
In my opinion Crime Spree did it even better because the game was asymmetric, so the decision calculus of Sam's team was completely different from Ben and Adam's, and therefore we got to see each of the two very different teams try to logic through both sides of the game. It was fascinating to watch and lent itself to most of, in my opinion, the best interactions, of which there were less in this season.
Really hope this show does well enough to warrant more seasons, because I'm so fascinated to see where this goes. Thanks for making this. It's awesome.
Yeah I totally agree with that, but what I do like about this season is that Sam’s team isn’t just Sam. Brian and JT didn’t do a whole lot; Sam was mostly the mastermind of those teams, but Joseph was a nice change of pace since he contributed a lot more to the team’s planning.
Filming for Season 3 (which seems to be based in Europe and involves trains) has finished.

@@gfrewqpoiu ya probably one of the countries is france
@@cicada.and.pomegranate Joseph did nothing (although at least he tried). His Budapest and Dubai plan was foiled bc the team missed the booking window, and Sam planned the Cancún-Amsterdam-Singapore route.
Bro the spoilers should have been deeper in the comments
Sorry Joseph, but Sam deserves some bad luck after winning the connect four game out of pure chance of pulling the instant win card in montana, not to mention bending the rules in this game (the 500ft hill, and the "have fun" challenge I mean come on). Ben and Adam are true competitors, and endlessly fun to watch.
The first part about the instawin card is fair game, but I agree with the second part. They claimed the "have a good time" card even though they were clearly not having a good time.
I'm excited for season 3. Ben and Adam's friendship is heartwarming, contrasting Sam's frustration with Joseph (more visible in the previous episode).
I've been wanting to comment on this since last week when I watched it on Nebula. What a heck of a series and such a novel idea for entertainment. Terrific execution and editing.
"Build a subway, idiots!" What a great urban planning advice from a true expert. Every urban planner in America should consume this content and realize how fucking stupid it is to build giant metropolitan areas without public transport.
LOL I Literally came to the comments just to see if someone commented this
as a future civil engineer the reason they can't build a subway is because of the tectonic plates LA sits on (it's still a dumb city and it's public transportation makes me sad)
@@benoithueber4762 But aren't there also other huge cities with tectonic activities who nevertheless have a subway? I think of Tokio for example. Japan has a lot of volcanic activities but many of their large cities have subways.
@@benoithueber4762 Bruh, chile has the best subway system in both south and north America, and it sits right in between 2 tectonic plates, and don't get me started on Japan
@@elorbo8100 Same thing with Chile
15:12 "that was pretty e-fish-ent" ha ha
If one wanted to be picky, the rules (13:07) of the fish challenge state "fish must be alive + release after catching". first one is debatable, second one at least wasn't shown; so one might say....
But this series (heck, the whole channel) is way too cool to be a dick about things like that!
The 10 second tour of the pier was amazing!
Can't wait for season 3!!
I mean Sam and Joseph bend the rules in Amsterdam too so it's fair game lol
- Was told there's local liquor
- "there's literally nothing else we can do"
If they had gotten the $600 from having fun and the local liquor they'd only need to win five hands more than loss at the casino to get the money. Kind of a mind bender there.
Good content either way
they were told they didn't have the local liquor because it tastes like shit, id assume that means most places don't have it as well and it could have hard to find other places
Couldn't they have gotten a seashell in Singapore? Is there no swimming there or something?
@@ceticx no I've been there and lots of places in Asia have local liquor that tastes like shit. Three penis wine in China, Kaolian in Taiwan but lots of locals drink it because it's traditional. They shouldn't have looked in a highly modernized, westernized mall to look for a local product.
@@aprophetofrng9821 there is. That was probably something else they could have done. It just seems like they gave up prematurely
Ben and Adam are both absolute gold. Good to see Newtown representing, even briefly.
To mix it up you should have a rule which says 20% of the distance cannot be done by plane, AND that the rest period is allowed to be spent on a ship or sleeper train.
That would allow more creative travel planning.
I expect the next few Half-as-Interesting and Real Life Lore vids to just be vlogs of Sam and Joseph chilling in Singapore 🤣
SPOILERS
Lol, Ben and Adam running like mad trying to get to the finishing line first, meanwhile Sam and Joseph were presumably still stuck in Singapore 😂
Gotta love #TeamBenAndAdam. They deserved it 👏 congrats.
The moment of Ben and Adam being confused by the signage at LAX is such a mood. I've been literally right there and had the same thought.
Ben and Adam have great chemistry and are a joy to watch. They need to start a two-person TH-cam channel where they go do stuff. I would watch it. BTW, this is my favorite series/channel on TH-cam. Keep up the great work, guys!
The Fiji water bit made me laugh, but I'd never seen Fiji water before myself. Until I was flying out of Barcelona yesterday and it was on sale at the airport. I had to buy a bottle just because of this episode!
I'm so sad it's come to an end once again, what will I do with my Wednesday evenings now? Keep up the amazing work, really hope to see the next series soon!
Ben and Adam are so fun to watch together, also the best ending you could ever get was the reaction of the woman:"what happend to you"
Just casualy, yeah we went around the world in 120 hours 😂😂😂
It's officially Jet Lag tradition for Ben to get plastered at some point
I was sad Adam got drunk instead of Ben is Season 8
I loved this series. For the future, the ending was too abrupt. I wanted some sort of wrap-up. Even a Zoom debrief would have been good.
***MINOR SPOILER ALERT***
Can a Singaporean please tell us more about the shit liquor (beginning with B? Island brand) the restaurant didn't even serve? I'm dying of curiosity for what a local has to say!!!! Timestamp 3:30
I presume the drink is Baiju (maybe??? It kinda sounded like Bluey? There is also some sort of soy liquor too??) from googling it but I'd still love to hear from a Singaporean, if I dont hear back I'll ask my friend in Kuala Lumpur if he's ever had any local liquor over the border and revert hahhaa :)
posting here to get updates on bad singaporean liquor
same here
It really made me feel like traveling all over the world specifically to try bad local liquor.
Huh, was my comment removed because I posted a link?
Anyway, my guess is that he said "They do have brewery", and probably talked about Little Island Brewing Co not far from Changi Airport. I haven't been there, but there's a list of their beers on their site
the difference between adam and ben’s tolerances is so funny
Just the luck that Sam and Joseph had throughout Singapore is so funny
Congrats to Ben and Adam for a well-played game and a deserving win :) This was fun, and I look forward to seeing the next season! Looked like Europe, so maybe we'll finally get the trains season. I'd imagine the much more relaxed rules around customs and passport control in the EU along with the greater number of routes allow for much more sophisticated routing
My husband and I love this show. You guys inspired us to do something similar but in Europe with trains :)
They are doing this for the next season, it has been filmed, can't wait to see it.
@@gfrewqpoiu Awesome! Can’t wait to see it!
Would be good to have a wrap-up/debrief video
I gotta say adam and ben definitely deserved the W I find it funny how Sam and Joseph's plan backfired because they decided to use up all the easy challenges at 1/4 the value and then ended up getting stuck with nothing in Singapore. Sam and Joseph pretty much just gave up on their own because there were plenty of challenges they still could've done to earn money to at least get to another city, but instead they chose to gamble and fail.
i just found this series yesterday and im already in love with ben and adam
i literally discovered this series 2 hours ago lol, i noticed that day 4 went from "6 days old" to "7 days old" and decided to check. paid off lol.
Sam an Joseph really screwed themselves over in Amsterdam. Doing a ton of challenges for a fraction of the prize money
Would love to see a "debrief" session afterwards. Have everyone meet up for lunch or drinks and talk about their travels. Would be cool to see Ben and Adam learn that they sniped two challenges in the same city at the same locations.
Layover podcast is basically this, but a podcast
An idea for one could be that they could go into “debt” to get a flight, but their balance must be above zero to win the game, meaning they must earn the money back
Would need a debt limit at the very least, although you can argue that debt is hard to pay off with challenges in one location.
this season was so entertaining and I love the editing style
'the world is a beautiful place and I'm glad we went around it together'
Ben&Adam deserve the win. Like Sam and Joseph already bend the rules a bit in Amsterdam you can't keep doing that
For a brief moment, I thought that this series is going to have a climactic finish. But man, that was unexpected. I had an absolute blast of a good time seeing both teams pushing the limit and tripping each other up as they race across the world. The execution and planning for this challenge is staggering and I am glad that one team has completed the race. A satisfying conclusion. 😌
*SECRET MESSAGE:* _BEN AND ADAM HAVE FINALLY DID IT! YAY!_ 🥳
_From the moment Ben and Adam have decided to bungee jump when it became clear that they will need to make the distance requirement for this race, it's game over for Sam & Joseph. But ultimately, their decision to start cheap by flying to Amsterdam and trying to complete many challenges on the fly have doomed their chances of beating the editors again._
_First, they could've finished the sightseeing challenge upon arriving in Amsterdam faster so that they would've booked a flight to Dubai and complete the next challenges with a clean slate rather than doing multiple at a time (each with equal or less value than the other). This not only would've enabled them to earn more money, but they could've completed more high-paying challenges, such as touching snow (Dubai has an indoor ski complex; but not Singapore)._
_Second, when that didn't materialise, they booked a flight to Singapore, unaware that Ben and Adam are also flying to Singapore. However, Sam & Joseph's flight arrives later than Ben & Adam's, forcing them to make the risky, expensive decision of flying to Los Angeles via Seoul. In retrospect, this was probably a bad move since they need to book an onward flight from Seoul as they cannot permit to stay there._
_With Ben & Adam completed the bungee challenge before they do, Sam & Joseph were forced to gamble, hoping that they could get lucky and earn enough for the expensive trip back to the finish line. They didn't and with no affordable alternative ways of going back to Denver, they're out.(Technically, they should have had they decided not to go fishing and eat a Michelin-star restaurant and even booking a pub early to get drunk. Crucially, had they paid more attention to before they gambled, they would've have enough money to book a flight and make it to Los Angeles.)_
_Despite this, Ben & Adam had to complete the race the hard way. First, their flight to Sydney was delayed, so their onward flight to Fiji became tight. Then, they got lucky by catching the smallest fish in the world in Sydney (Ha ha ha.) before getting drunk again, only this time they sealed the deal for real._
_So what did I learn this series? Great strategies win games, but this race doesn't. At the beginning of the series, Ben & Adam are in trouble and thought they had no chance of beating Sam, even after getting lucked out in the Connect Four challenge. Unaware of this, their fortunes unexpectedly rose exponentially, not because they are willing to go big, but because the other team were playing too comfortably, not knowing that they will never make it to the finish line._
_By the time they made it to Denver with over 7 hours of time remaining, not only they completed the challenge despite countless flight delays and having to change plans multiple times, but they inadvertently left Sam & Joseph stranded (though their failure was partly their own making). With victory, they showed the world that they can actually kick Sam's (expletive)._
_They're even. Can't wait for the next series to start._ 😁
i feel like flying west would have been the better idea... get the expensive one out of the way early with all the challenges still available
Been waiting for this all day! Super excited!
I love how the last half of this video just turns into a Ben and Adam travel vlog
Well, the ending is how you know the show’s not scripted. Best show on TH-cam, thanks for sharing it with us! Can’t wait for season 3.
I love the stranger at the end who asked "what happened to you". I would've loved to she her response to the answer.
That was the perfect ending.
I totally agree, it was so cinematic haha
Oh my, I love Ben & Adam so much! Absolutely amazing duo!
I really enjoyed this season - but didn’t really vibe the one-sidedness of the last episode. Maybe there needs to be more challenges and more challenges available with a higher value available (not saying they shouldn’t be difficult)? I think teams should be worried about missing out on the easier challenges but shouldn’t be in a position where there are in essence no options at all. Or like one option for each teams to do-over a challenge that was already completed idk then it’d be fun to see how they both did it differently? Or an option to double your money if you did it in a certain time frame or with some extra hard difficulty attached? I’d like there to be more options of ways teams can problem solve money issues rather than just gamble it because there’s nothing in that city.
I think Sam and Joseph messed up in this regard. It was basically impossible for them to win, but I think what they should have done (both for strategy and content reasons) was try to do a bunch of challenges to sabotage Ben and Adam. I think that would have been quite entertaining, more so than "we hope they mess up"
Perhaps a rule where a team can complete a challenge the other team did, but only for half credit. If they want to restrict it further, make it either once per city or a limited number of times over the course of the game.
I think the one-sidedness wasn't really something they could plan for. Sam and Joseph just broke the game, in a bad way.
I'm hooked on this series, incredible effort on filming and making this. We need more! :)
