ben really played the trick of: if i don't know what i'm doing, the enemy can't know either
quote of all time
~ Sun Tzu, probably
I think Ben is also kinda just humble. I think he likes this role as the wildcard but there were quite a few very solid choices there. This didn't just come out of nowhere.
He didn't really know what he was doing in Luxembourg, that was mostly just "this is probably the best decision" while he had no idea Sam and Adam were there, but he *definitely* knew what he was doing getting to Bar-le-Duc. He figured Sam and Adam could possibly be in Metz while he was waiting for his train so he hid, and just the idea of getting that train and throwing Sam and Adam off was genuinely good gameplay, if not just plain smart.
That's just Ben's strategy in general
That veto curse was actually the best thing that could have happened.
Yeah, it was so close to the end of the game that it was basically 1500 free coins
@@dominicpancella3012yeah
Almost like it was staged
@@hamza-chaudhry So? Who the fuck cares if its staged? The purpose of videos and series like these, is to bring entertainment and suspense, and it did just that, not every scripted thing is bad
@@YourAverageSpeedrunnerIt is bad when a scripted thing tries to appear unscripted.
My favorite new Jet Lag strategy is to have no strategy and just be completely random 😳
😳
😳
That won't work, you'll need to borrow ben's luck
AYO VAIL LESSGOOOOOO
Let a rat make your plan.
Adam tried elaborate disguises twice and it never worked, and Ben just sneaks into a photo booth and pulls off the greatest move in Jet Lag history
That is because the chasers have a live tracker.
@@andrecastillo5232that and they weren't very good disguises. The disguise has to at least somewhat alter his overall appearance, so they don't recognize him even without seeing his face. And last time he even went into an area that had like only two routes out.
It would be interesting though to reduce the accuracy of the trackers. Like delaying it by 15 minutes or reducing the accuracy by 500m or something. So you would have to catch the runner at strategic spots. Getting on and of trains, searching trains etc. At a larger station the runner has a good chance to get away like that, but not a perfect chance. There are two runners and many stations do not have too many options to get to platforms etc.
@@salia2897 Or is it two "chasers"?
I think Adams problem was that he was diguising and running away. I thought it would be best to hide in a crowded place with multiple levels as a big train station or a shopping mall. Then the disguise might give you the edge of maybe being overlooked once so that you can dodge the chasers if you have an overlay of a few minutes, like with Ben, when he had "only" to survive ten minutes.
Although I was really scared when he reached his hand out to get the pictures that they would recognize him somehow.
I can’t believe this was the first time someone tried hiding from the runners while in the same city and it ACTUALLY worked
I feel like if you hid in say a toilet stall in a major shopping centre with multiple levels you could probably go the whole 3 days without being found 😂, might have to add a rule where you can't sit still for more than 30 mins or something like that
@@LongoHighlightsThere already is a rule that you can’t deliberately hide in the toilets.
(Presumably the word “deliberately” is included so that coincidentally being legitimately on the toilet when you would be caught is exempted from the rule.)
@@DrWhoFanJthere are also, y'know, laws saying you can't record in places where there is an expectation of privacy...
@@monohymn I mean, that too.
(I was more meaning for the sake of the runner who might be completely unaware he only escaped capture because of his entirely-human need to evacuate his bladder and/or bowels.)
@@LongoHighlights I’m pretty sure there’s a rule to prevent them from hiding in washrooms iirc
The 10 minutes which Ben had while Adam and Sam tried to catch him were nerve wracking. Props to Ben, the photo booth play was genius.
Spoilers
I agree with @randallbrock4533
@@randallbrock4533 As a general rule of thumb, if you don't want spoilers, you should avoid reading the comments
@@Octofinite The problem is, comments load EVEN BEFORE you scroll down to look at them, so it's extremely easy to catch a glimpse of it and accidentally spoil yourself. I just fullscreen the video before the comments can load to prevent this from happening, though you often have to learn that the hard way.
@@N3bulA_ Yeah that's true
Sam: 100% planning, 0% luck
Ben: 100% luck, 0% planning
Adam: Somewhere in between
sure, but if Ben didn't plan going to Bar Le Duc who knows if he would have won the game.
@@starisrandom2016 true, but if he didn't luck out with the card he pulled he wouldn't have been able to get there
Very true
If we're being honest it's more like... 90% Luck, 10% Planning@@anthonyp1414
Adam too got quite a fair bit lucky with Deutsche Bahn screwing Sam and Ben to the point where Adam had made it to Emden. If only he could have used his powerup quickly enough or hid properly, he would have made it to the ferry.
sam's cheery defeat turning into an extended series of "look at that!" immediately cutting to Ben _also_ wholeheartedly saying "look at that" is _perfect_
Ha 22:13
Ben confusing Sam and Adam with just vibes is the best.
All hail our Chill King.
He Bar le Duked them.
"They can't figure out my plan if I don't have one," - Ben probably
Let’s give him credit here - he hid well and ran for the train as late as he could while the other team were confused
No thoughts, just vibes.
god bless whoever edited the winning cutscene of Ben’s dream. magnificent.
Probably Ben himself lol
Would you think Sam or Adam would edit themselves into a hole lol!
@@GlobeSync1 Well, Adam is one of the four editors for the show. It's entirely possible he *did* edit himself into a hole.
From The Layover podcast: Including that sequence in the show was Adam's idea. He knew that the whole gimmick of "the trophy gets bigger and bigger every season" was unsustainable and that they needed to go back to a regular-sized trophy. But he knew that they needed something wild to put there. Then when he found the clip of Ben describing his dream, he said that he wanted to throw that into the victory celebration scene, cause it was too perfect.
@@PianoHypnoshroom No, Ben is editor, not an animator/motion graphics.
The part where they started discussing how good Ben's moves were, but Ben being confused as hell was so hilarious!!😂
I feel like the real strength of Ben as a player is that he seems equally comfortable with both thinking strategically and just vibing lol. I think Sam and Adam both cling to logic and strategy a lot more than Ben does. Ben made some really smart moves as the runner in this season, but he also got thrown some curveballs and made them work by rolling with the punches, trusting his gut, and just staying calm and hoping for the best when it seemed like his back was up against a wall. It seemed like that combination of brains and vibes ended up being confusing for Sam and Adam because they assumed there had to be a way to logically deconstruct what Ben was doing and then outmanoeuvre him, and when they couldn't figure out his strategy, they assumed it was because Ben was five steps ahead. In reality, he was just much more adaptable in his approach which meant it was harder to pin down. Anyways, congratulations Ben!! I was rooting for you this season, so glad you pulled it off!
Good point. It's probably the only mindset that would counteract 2 super analytical competitive players.
100% agree bens strategies were so random yet so intuitive (partly from ratatouille) and sam + adam couldn't get into his mindset
I agree with this completely! I always root for Ben because he's so much more laid back about things while also making smart plays. It's the difference between Sam veto'ing the ratatouille and Ben going with it when the ratatouille was bad for both of them. (Yes Ben had a much larger margin to begin with, but we did see the result of the ratatouille put him in a significantly worse position with two close calls). I wonder if he would've gotten the win without the ratatouille
Ben getting his first win by being absolutely chill, letting himself be guided by a rat, having curses work in his favour, enjoying a photo booth while the chasers lose their minds and evading capture TWICE was so much fun to watch! This series had so many close calls, brilliant work you all. Can't wait to watch the next one ❤️
Blud this is like his 10th win 😂 wdym
@@evseries1 oh you're right I should've mentioned individual win 😂
@@fic-it But did he not also win the last Chase across Europe?
@@asksolevag2080 I love that you chose the word 'chase' because Adam Chase won the first tag across Europe!
@@fic-it yea, you're right. I got it confused, Ben was the last runner, though in Adam's area 🫡
I love how casual Ben is when he gets on the train while not realising Sam and Adam are panicking and looking for him , and also when Ben is Ik the photo booth and Adam and Sam are frantically running around the station
Anything more than a light jog would have made him really noticeable, so "hiding in plain sight" is the play here!
It's crazy to see 3 guys from the other half of the world randomly ending up in your hometown lol
Hope you enjoyed the stay in Bar le duc 🎉
I had this too, every time I pass by the park in Busto Arsizio where they did a challenge I laugh. They were doing a round-the-world trip and ended up in my town of 50,000 people.
@@martino2385 that had more to do with Malpensa Airport being nearby but I get what you mean.
Enjoy Ben’s bench lol
I'm one of the cars that go by when they are broken down just outside of Butte, Montana 😂
Don't you mean Bar-de-Luc?
Honestly, Ben intentionally stranding himself in Bar-la-Duc, instead of pushing towards his destination was a great move. The instincts are always to push towards the destination, but Ben did a proper thought process and realized that his victory was not in reaching his destination, but in making sure that no one else can reach theirs. Good move, Ben!!!
Makes me think the most ruthless strategy would actually be to make a break for the nearest large national park (or similar wilderness-type area) within your winning zone, go for a hike as far from roads as possible, and camp out through the duration. Would be terrible to watch but probably unbeatable through the combo of bad signal throwing off the trackers and also no opportunities for them to catch up using vehicles.
@@ingleacre6480I think it will be pretty hard to find a suitable place in the centre of europe.
@@ingleacre6480I think it will be pretty hard to find a suitable place in the centre of europe.
@@eli_fi1149 Oh it's totally possible outside of the Low Countries. Even right next to the start point for the game there's the Parc naturel régional de Lorraine, which has a number of large forests, and areas which are hours of walking from any road that a cab would be willing to take a passenger down.
That would work, but would ruin the fun. These shows are part scripted, with the script being that they have to be access of a means of transport, and not hiding underground in a hole.
This finale solidified me as a Ben fan. It always seems like he has no strategy but he pulls off sneaky moves like forcing Adam and Sam to run around a train station while he takes photos in a photo booth. 😂 Go Ben!!
People pretend like all of this is just random dumb luck. But honestly? Ben made a lot of strategic choices that led to the opportunity to be lucky at some cruical spots. Adams says it in the Podcast: Ben didn't outmaneuvre them precisely in the way he imagined but he did get in their heads which ultimately caused his win 😁
Well Ben said himself his plan was to confuse Sam and Adam and act in totally unpredictable ways so they could never hope to predict where he might go next...and you know what, IT WORKED!
Ben made some truly Galaxy Brain moves this season!
same here lol, i will now root for ben in future jet lag seasons.
This was the best Jet Lag episode for me!
same
Ben chilling in the photo booth getting souvenirs before sneaking onto his train to victory while Sam and Adam are losing their minds is just funny
I can't wait for another season of tag where someone goes crazy and builds up enough points for a plane ride
Ben having no idea that Sam and Adam were right on his tail that entire time and just barely missing him just makes this so much better. Not once but twice. Good game and well deserved.
My condolences to the people of *Bar-le-duc* that had their city name changed to *Bar-de-luc* without consent 😞😞
Fascinating how both Sam&Adam and Ben individually pronounced it wrong in the same way
Which changes it from "Bar the Duke" to "Luke's bar" ^^
its okay were not offended lmao
@@randomname24680 Good news for Luc.
is there a bar called bar de luc in the city? if not i will open one
Ever since Ben got ratatouille'd, Sam and Adam have been in shambles of his next move 😂
Loved the pay-off at the end where they found out Ben didn't even realise how hard he juked em 😂
I agree. Because it didn't play out exactly as Ben had predicted people think it was all random chance. But fact is Ben said he was doing the challenge and playing chaotic to confuse Sam & Adam and I think it's absolutely unarguable that this worked. Even iof Ben himself only later realized how 😄
Ben having no clearly obvious strategy, while simultaneously trying to strategize seems to be the optimal way to play Tag Across Europe. Adam and Sam are always making the clearly optimum moves that will get them towards their destination, which makes them easy to predict. Ben just ambles along going like "this seems pretty all right, I have no idea if they're on to me or not". Transferring to the train to Bar-Le-Duc though was an outside of the box thinking move that even transportation savant Sam didn't think of doing, and it secured him the win.
Luck obviously plays a huge factor too, he had no clue that he was swerving them at Howald, and could have been easily caught. Also, he made a huge gamble going for the transfer to Bar-Le-Duc without enough coins, and pulled basically the best card he could have gotten at that exact time (a curse that wouldn't matter with so little time left in the game, that gave him the money he needed, and he didn't even have to do a challenge). Plus, the simplicity of just hiding in a photo booth near his train-- no fancy disguises, no big brain misdirections, nothing -- is just great to see.
It's like Adam said "How can you hate him for that?"
For those wanting to go back and listen to it after the ending, Ben’s dream was described in episode 5 at 6:46
I just searched through all the episodes to find it when i could've just scrolled down in the comments here 🙃
Sam and Adam being so proud of ben making all his presumably big brain moves, while its really just ben with his impressive plot armour (10/10 content). Can't wait for next season!!
Well he did say he was going to be unpredictable! And he certainly was 😅
Do you know when the next season is
@@markcolac2792 I suspect somewhere around mid-December. There's usually a two month-ish gap between seasons.
@@ohkatehadley Thank you
@@ohkatehadley I think so too, mid- December is around when season 4 premiered last year
I really didn't expect Ben to survive getting out of the photo booth
he was so lucky Adam and Sam were elsewhere
Adam and Sam nailed it when they said they should have played defence and just covered the platforms
I was afraid he was going to struggle to find the train or it was late or something but his escape went flawlessly.
@AceClown They expected Ben to be on the next train to Nancy so they were confused when they saw he wasn't on it, so they went looking. But I agree, they should have left one person on the platform at least.
@@AceClown The thing is that only made sense in hindsight, actively chasing him seemed like the smarter move otherwise. They just got so tunnel visioned that they made up all kinds of scenarios for where he could be instead of just like calmy going to wheee the tracker was and then realizing “oh there's a photobooth here” and opening it.
I'm imagining what the look would've been on Sam and Adam's faces if they happened to be standing beside the photo booth and seeing the photos of Ben pop out of it😂
I can't believe that photo booth strategy worked. He caught the train even though he was RIGHT UNDER THEIR NOSES THE WHOLE TIME.
This is some of the best climax to any Jet Lag season, ever. Fantastic play by Ben.
Ben's Adam/Twitter guess, Bar-de-Luc play and photo booth idea were all big brain moves, he really deserves this win 👏
To be fair, even on the train dodge, he didn't get off the train at the earlier station as he said in previous episode he wanted to confuse them to think he's going to Luxembourg and give them as little time to prepare as possible - precisely what happened. It was a great play too.
When it showed that Sam and Adam had 15 minutes to catch Ben I thought it was over, but holy shit, Ben did the best move of the whole Jet Lag history
The editing for this episode was magical. Frantic searching and dramatic music intercut with Ben goofing around in the Photo Booth was killing me.
This edition of Tag Across Europe might be more exciting, more dramatic, but super enjoyable than the first. One runner nearly making to his destination and another runner with a run so insane, it's more vibes than pure strategy. I still can't imagine that despite all that chaos, we're a hundred miles (or kilometres) from the start and yet it's another Jet Lag classic. It might probably one of the best seasons I've ever seen. What a game.
*TAG EUR IT 2 IN A NUTSHELL:* _Two curses, two swerves and a photo booth. It makes a LOT of sense._ 😅
Ben had major main character energy thus season. The plot armor was working wonders 😂😂
Here's what ben has managed to do as the runner:
-Escape Sam and Adam in Paris because his train got delayed
-Outsmart them by getting on the train at Saint Quentin to Brussels and not to Amien
-Juke them on the train in Howald and tricking them into thinking that he was going to Luxembourg
-Outsmart them in Metz by hiding in a photo booth.
Wow he is smart but he manages to pull everything off in ways that Sam and Adam don't think of. I've been routing for Ben since the start of season 3 :D
And only one of these were deliberate
Been rooting for Ben since Season 1! (And of course, usually Adam)
@@xseros7954The Howald one was deliberate in that he explained that was the plan... But not like conscious.
Like he thought they might be there but was way less conscious about it than the Metz one
its so heckin cute how much Adam was low key routing for Ben while chasing
I love post-freakout Adam. He becomes a chill wisecracker, almost like he's drunk on accepting fate and being free of anxiety.
Ben nonchalantly chilling in the photo booth during the anxiety-inducing moment is just the God-tier moment in Jet Lag history! My heart was beating soo fast biting my nails hoping Ben having a smooth sail
This season really was a massively better version of the first try. It got so much closer to end zones rather than fighting in just the middle area/france. Way more enjoyable
I am kinda sad we never got to see Ben’s mountain goal though
I love how they make a little Sam saying “look at that” montage and at the same time Ben just happens to say it too
I really like that this season featured several long runs instead of the last version where it seemed like the runner switched several times an episode
Sam and Adam constantly calling it Bar-De-Luc did drive me slightly insane
Even Ben did it a few times
Ben's photo booth move was the biggest iq move this season
I am guessing that move will get banned in the next seasons, as it sets a dangeours precedent and you do not want the boys randomly oppening the doors of private rooms on unexpecting locals
@FernandoGonzalez-hu3id no need to do that. They'd just need to wait for the person to come out if they think it's the runner.
Might want to put a time limit on hiding in closed spaces though or make a rule that the chaser can call the runner out, forcing them to leave the hiding space if they were indeed hiding where the chaser suspected it.
@@FernandoGonzalez-hu3id if they do it again, they won't ban it because same rules, also Adam literally gave the right approach right after "wait on platforms, and catch him before he gets on the train"
@@LRM12o8 a photo booth isn't a closed space
They wouldnt need to open the curtain though.. ypu always get your pictures outside the booth so if they were anywhere near and saw his picture being printed out.. he would get tagged
“A lot of his moves have not made sense”… cut to Ben sticking a microphone on his hat 😂 Such great editing in this series, an amazing show too, thanks so much for making and sharing it! 🧡
Ben found out that playing the most random cards gave him the most solid and best win in all the channel history.
Also, 2nd time not drunk.
It would be unsafe to have drunk ben in the seasons where they do challenges alone, but yeah its still really sad
?@@Itsmidnight_youneedtosleep
euh it's the 3rd time right? . He wasn't drunked at seasons 3,6 and 7
@@FrancisBros I was counting consecutive.
Ben Mr. Magooing his way to a win over the course of the last couple of episodes was a feat of brilliance that I don't think will or can ever be duplicated. Well-played, sir.
Congrats to Ben for getting the photos out of the machine without getting his hand stuck!
Underrated comment😂
this sent me
bro that escape from the photo booth was literally timed to perfection. ben is GOATED, he literally juked them twice within 2 hours
This is the type of winners we want. Being clueless yet pulling a big brain move and win the season.
As a loyal Jet-Lag Nebula viewer I can promise all the TH-cam viewers reading this, this episode is THE BEST episode in Jet-Lag history in my opinion, I literally got up from my chair and jumped in excitement whilst watching it🔥🔥🔥
It includes what has to be the single best moment in Jet Lag history. Like no doubt the best moment ever
thx, just began
thats good the rest of the seasons has been kinda bad so glad to see it ending good (mostly been bad due to the train delays and such if your thinking about being mad at me)
I have to agree, it was great!
Reddit soy moment
That cursed card was so lucky! And the photo booth play HAS to be the absolute best play ever made in Jet Lag history!
Sam and Adam searching for Ben in the station while he hides in a photo booth is the most entertaining segment of Jet Lag I've ever watched.
Congrats Ben!
This is, without contest, THE best season of Jet Lag ever. Ben is an international treasure. Thank you for blessing me with this.
This episode was actually incredible, Ben doing not one but two razzle dazzles on Sam and Adam was something I never expected from this series
Two razzle dazzles he had *no idea* he was actually doing. For one he just... got off the train, and the other he just seemed to go 'well, this place is covered, I'll just sit in here until my train is ready'
Fyi: at 9:30, the machine just said "Warning, those photos are not valid for official documents"
EDIT: Oh, and fun fact: the French name for 's-Hertogenbosch is "Bois-le-Duc", so Ben literally had a run from Bois-le-Duc to Bar-le-Duc
Them not being able to pronounce 's-Hertogenbosch is fine. Often Dutch names like Scheveningen are unpronounceable for non Dutchies. But the mispronunciation of Bar-le-Duc got on my nerves.
@@LeafHuntress To be fair, even the Dutch just call it Den Bosch rather than the full name.
But how do you pronounce the apostrophe?
@@adamantii you don't pronounce it, it's just to show it's a shortened version of a word.
the 's in 's Hertogenbosch is there because it's a shortened version of Des Hertogenbosch
It seems like each season Ben ends up in a Bar.
I sincerely thank the amazing Jet Lag editing team for making Ben's dream finally come true!
My heart was POUNDING. That has never happened during an episode before. Congratulations to Ben, from a fellow Ben!
3 things that made Ben won S7,
the Ratatouilled Curse which is a blessing in disguise
He got off the train on the route back to luxembourg not knowing that Sam and Adam got on that same train at the same time
He played unpredictability that went to Bar Le Duc and sat on the bench in a seanic river setting without elaborating further.
A True Chad indeed 😂😂😂😂
at a scenic river*
reasons why this is the best jet lag episode of all time:
- the trio just being absolutely clueless on each other's move for most of the episode is just TOO GOOD lmaoo
- ben's overpowered asf hiding spot for over 10 minutes without him even realizing it (again!)
- the callback to the last episode in the end there was what truly got me to laugh in hysterics omg
- the fact that this episode became a featured article in variety magazine !!
- the vibe of the latter half of the episode just feeling like a mini-episode of the layover to make up for the short snack zones
grahhh oh my fucking god i genuinely cannot wait for whats in store for season seven and congratulations to ben for winning!!!
this was featured in a magazine? that's great!
' the fact that this episode became a featured article in variety magazine !!' What where? 😮
Replying so I get notified for updates on this magazine
Variety Magazine? I think there's enough coverage of Jet Lag for a Wikipedia article now.
I just discovered you guys with the Hide&Seek in Switzerland and started watching your Tag games, I was NOT expecting to see so many cities that I know so very well, between both Metz and Nancy where I studied, but also Bar-le-Duc where I did highschool and which is basically the biggest city around my village. So that added even more fun to the game, thank you so much for these videos!
Adam and Sam: omg the strategy, mad respect
Ben: *has absolutely no clue what's going on, is just vibing*
I was soo hoping Adam and Sam would walk by and just see photos of Ben printing out from the booth 😂
I would have made extra pictures and leave the second print at the photobooth for if they would check it while Ben is trying to escape from Sam and Adam.
A fine victory well deserved. Can't wait to see what you guys do next... please get Ben drunk again. Haha. Thanks for all your amazing work.
All the cool stuff in Nancy that Sam was pointing out was due to the last Duke of Lorraine, who was a previous king of Poland-Lithuania that got kicked out of the country, but because he was the father-in-law of Louis XV of France, he got Lorraine as a consolation prize, and just glamored up the place by spending his wealth on nice buildings and art. They're standing under his statue at 22:04
(The then-Duke of Lorraine received Tuscany as his consolation prize as the last of the Medici had just died, and was married off to Maria Theresa of Austria, and eventually became Holy Roman Emperor)
And his legacy is now, "Look at that!"
It is so wholesome to see how proud of Bens moves/strategies Adam is
Ben hiding in a photo booth was one the biggest brain moves this season
For future jet lags, I think a scotland yard style game would be fun, where the runner only occasionally shares his location.
I know right...I suggested doing something like that in a tag across London scenario like they did with Tom Scott.
Glad to see someone else also knows of that game!
Ben sitting in the photo booth while Sam and Adam are frantically running around searching for him is the best thing 😂
Another great end to another great season
Finally! A runner instead of just being focused on their end point just goes deep and awkwardly into their territory.
I think Tag is definitely a sustainable format for recurring seasons. But as mentioned in the Layover S7 was deliberately kept exactly the same as S3 inc. any mistakes - and it would be really awesome to see a revamped Tag happen in a different area, say further north to UK or Scandinavia, south to Iberia or Italy, or east to the ex-Soviet countries.
One of the reasons why I enjoyed S2 and S4 so much was they really had a globetrotting vibe with the unpredictable possibilities of ending up in so many cool and different locations - I’d want to see that again if Tag happens again but elsewhere.
Would love to see them do a game in the Nordics. The New Zealand board game format with their own cars would probably work best. Something like a race to Lapland or Nordkapp from the south would definitely be neat. Norway would probably be the most scenic route but I'm biased towards Finland. Something that incorporated all four of the Nordics would probably also be fun but harder to design.
IMO Tag works best in the area which is WIDE enough to make 3 finish lines and has GOOD (or at least SATISFACTORY) PUBLIC TRANSIT
Which is only Europe is fitting right now (Japan and Singapore might be better than them in Public Transit but they're not wide enough to make 3 finish lines)
🤔🤔🤔
@@ddddirge yeah Europe. But I think it’s time to go elsewhere on the continent.
Also… Latin America’s complex networks of metro, suburban rail, BRTs and cable cars would be SOOOO COOL.
@@GoosterHiista maybe something that ends in Svalbard! Like catching the Emden-Borkum ferry, but instead it’s a flight to Longyearbyen
Honestly a race down Norway would be epic maybe if they have time race from Nordkapp in Norway the northernmost point of Europe to tarifa the southernmost point in Europe in Spain. Would be really cool to drive down . Capture the flag would work well in Italy together with Switzerland.
that 10 minutes of sam and adam looking for ben at the station had my anxiety going 📈📈📈📈
Sam and Adam being sure that Ben is doing some big brain move while he is just moving around oblivious is pure comedy gold
Ben just getting out of the train without knowing that Sam and Adam are running on the train looking for him is just funny. Can’t wait for next season Congrats Ben!❤🎉🎉
BEN WINS!!!!!!!
I have never been so anxious watching an episode of Jet Lag as I was with this one, watching Ben hiding in the photo booth while Sam and Adam were just a few feet away. And to think that Ben was told what to do by a rat. 🐭
#TeamBen
The sequel to the most popular Jet Lag series has finally come to an end, but you know what doesn't end? The leaderboards! Yes I am back yet again to give you guys the update you deserve! I guess since some of you find my comments interesting, I shall keep making them :P
Leaderboards:
Ben: 4 Wins (Race To Circumnavigate The Globe, Battle 4 America, Capture The Flag, Tag Across Europe 2)
Adam: 4 Wins (Race To Circumnavigate The Globe, Tag Across Europe, Battle 4 America, Capture The Flag)
Sam: 2 Wins (Connect 4, Race to the End of the World)
Toby: 1 Win (Race to the End of the World)
Brian: 1 Win (Connect 4)
Scotty: 0 Wins
Joseph: 0 Wins
(Note: I am not counting the Pilot Season "Crime Spree" that is exclusive to Nebula so please no spoilers!)
This finale was very stressful and nerve-wracking but we can finally rejoice, as Ben becomes the first person to tie with Adam since he pulled ahead in Season 3! How ironic that his lead ends right where it started: tag :P
Seriously tho... is there really anyone who expected Ben to juke the runners... let alone TWICE on the same run?! And to think one of those times was accidental???? Ben deserved this win 100%... insane gameplay fr.
Now we must wait again... Any guesses as to what season 8 will bring? Share your ideas below if you want!
I guess I'll see you all next time! :3
So basically
Team Victories:
Ben & Adam: 3
Sam: 2
Solo Victories:
Ben: 1
Adam: 1
Sam: 0
I'm a through and through Ben & Adam fan, but now I gotta commit to Team Sam next season. Let's balance those numbers!
Thank you for putting in the work so we don't have to
If we really want to balance the numbers we need Scotty and Joseph to be on a team together and win.
I love how happy Adam is for Ben! Real friendship 27:22
Hey, that was actually very fun to watch!
If you were to play Jet Tag in Europe again, I suggest you moving a bit to the east and starting in Poland. Here, trains are slower than in France, Germany or any other countries in the West Europe, so that would make things interesting.
I love how episode one started Ben getting his hand stuck in a vending machine, twice, and yet the last two episodes show Ben's galaxy-sized brain.
Well played Ben, well played. Nobody will ever underestimate him again.
I love how Ben's complete chaos energy led to him winning a season almost on accident LOL
I wonder if Sam could have waited to tag Adam while they were all just chilling there and made it back into his territory before 8 cause that would have been pretty clutch.
I’d love to see you guy turn Portugal into a board game - just like you did with New Zealand. That kind of format was the one I loved the most. Maybe do a “Race around the Alps” in Austria/Switzerland/Italy etc. or consider turning Norway and Sweden into a board game trying to get to the North Cape. Love the videos you produce and would be very proud if you actually did one of those trips in the future!
Ben accidentally being the biggest brain is so awesome and hilarious 😂
He went to Brown
I love how even though Adam is the next runner, he's just appreciating how Ben slipped away from them so perfectly.
OMG! ben actually frickin did it! 😂
Man those were some truly Galaxy Brain moves swerving like an absolute maniac!
Congrats Ben! You absolutely deseve this win!
i love this stuff just three humble men playing something so simple to make me entertained
Sam: Ben is galaxy braining us!
Ben: I just realized I can put my mic on my hat!
Hands down, best season yet.That was the most impressive gameplay by far! I always thought Adam and Sam were the more elite level players, but never has there been a run more impressive than Ben's. Ben truly has a galaxy brain! Team Ben all the way!
Fewer runs too
Ben made a lot of really clever moves this season... but his greatest idea was putting his microphone on his hat. It takes a genius to come up with that and is worthy of Joe Biden's key to the city.
I got exited for a moment and then realised I already watched it on Nebula... 😂
This and last episode have got to be featuring the best Jet Lag gameplay so far. Top tier season. I think you guys could easily do another of these Tag Across Europe and it'd be just as fun, just rotate the starter direction one last time such that they've all been covered. Also, do take more busses or planes next time! Especially as the catcher. You could really catch the runner off-guard that way. Insane fun!
Ben pulling the double juke and then getting caught with a high 5 is just a mood.
Ben chilling in a phone booth while Sam and Adam run around searching for him might be one of the greatest Jet Lag moments 🔥🔥🔥
Ben casually outgamed them by accident while simultaneously almost losing. What an epic series.
Adam singing the Golden Girls theme song and Ben just vibing is amazing. Adam should sing every episode
Ben just juked them so good it was literally the best move probably in Jet Lag history 😱
How did Ben and Sam not notice they were both not only on the same floor, but on the SAME FREAKIN TRAIN HALL? His game would be up had Sam just turned his head a few seconds earlier.
And yes, EVERY SINGLE CELL IN MY BODY SCREAMED AT BOTH CLOSE CALLS THESE LAST TWO EPISODES. What A RUSH!
Adam and Sam: planning everything five steps ahead
Ben: even the confusion is confused
Was playing GeoGusser today and got a round inside a train station. I turn a corner and see a little photo booth on my left and I think to myself, this looks so familiar. All of a sudden it hits me. And sure enough, a 5k guess on the Metz train station.
the ending was literally a Dream come true for Ben. Congrats
i love that bens just taking pictures calmly while the others are freaking out
10/10 episode for me! ben hiding in that photo booth and really getting away was so fantastic. one of my favourite jet lag moments for sure i was holding my breath.
Congratulations Ben!! Really was rooting for you this season. Lessgo #teamben .The last animation where Sam and Adam get trapped and then Ben gets the key from Joe Biden is something we needed to watch to complete this whole season! Props to the editor!
This is the first season I've watched and I loved every second of it. Congrats on the win Ben🎉
