I mean I could be a nitpicker but doesn't mean "eat at the next 3 McDonald's" that you eat AT the Location and not take it with you? 😀
Having been to Auckland in November, it was very interesting to see places I've been to during the Auckland challenge lol
Imagine if Sam had said 'Miss Toby, I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you' and taken Toby on his arms to the mountaintop… it would have been magical.
Doesn't matter, it worked anyway.
35:08 Oh wow… you should really iron that… dress.
Please do Brazil next! 🇧🇷💚💛💙🇧🇷
Wait a second….it says only walk "forward", so in theory they could just walk backwards when necessary.
Also disappointing no one had the guts to go for the milk pong challenge.
I loved it when ZORBius said "IT'S ZORBIN' TIME!" and ZORBed all over everybody
Just got recommended Tom Scott's video on Kerosene Creek 😀
Sam and Toby definitely cheating on Mcdonalds curse, they haven't ate a McDonalds Menu item in any mcdonalds
And that day, it truly was Zorbin' time
19:48 I appreciate the "10 Things I Hate About You" reference there, Sam 😂
29:30 Eating cheese?
33:00 I watched the Kurzgesagt video on that
The Dunedin challenge is gonna be drink a crate of piss on castle street
30:33 "Whay quicker"
Gotta say, massive appreciation to the editors of this series, you are doing a wonderful job. I am really looking forward to the finale of this show.
For a country only a little over twice the size of my state, you've already spent longer on the smaller of the two islands than you ever have on a US-wide challenge.
I love it. It shows us New Zealand more than connect four showed us the States.
Have you considered regional games within the US?
I like how Sam is sporting the Amtrak hat! Very Retro
Tobi and Sam just skipped the third McDonalds stop lol?
Werent they meant to eat at the McDonalds? I feel Sam and Toby cheated there!
Ben has titties
This is legit better than any high budget production show!
Crazy how if ben didn't get shot by that bullet they would've been winning by now.
35:33 too soon bro
How did no one say “it’s zorbin time”
Having just gotten back from three weeks in NZ, you all are making me want to go back and do the north island too!
To be fair it said walk forward for the dice curse. Couldn't of they just walked backwards?
My favourite bit is when Adam said 'It's zorbin' time' and Zorbed all the way to Kerosene Creek
bem is looking like miss fortune 😩
Imagine turning up for a romantic date bathing in a hot spring, and you find two American dudes sat there complaining and eating cheese 😂
I thought the volcanoes were just like something they added to the game. I didn't realize that Auckland is literally built on top of a volcanic field. That's crazy. Talk about booming real estate
Ben and Adam really made this whole series just to go on vacation on Sam’s money didn’t they
For some reason I have jet lag, now have nebula but still watch on YouTube to support you even more (I stay an ep behind incase I ever wanna watch early)
They didn't eat at the second McDonald's
awwww I was so hoping ya'll would come do a challenge at my town but the roads closed 🙁
My favorite part was when Adam said "It's Zorbing Time!" and then he zorbed doen the hill.
The spiderwebs and Ben and Adams car are making me uncomfortable. I’m thinking there’s a big New Zealand type spider hiding in there with them.
the "but first it's time to be real" was the most relatable thing i've ever heard out of sam😂😂
I’d hate to say it but didn’t Sam and Toby technically cheat by not eating AT the McDonalds locations? Like that would have drastically changed the outcome of the Auckland challenge and Ben and Adam would have technically won.
I just came across this channel before the 'New Zealand' challenge. And I'm disappointed I didnt come across it much sooner considering how much time I spend watching YouTube daily
SNACK ATTACK
How many episodes are there going to be this season?
I wonder if they could have knitted giant fluff ropes of raw wool. It would only take about 4 stitches
Toby is awesome
Hope she becomes a regular Jet Legger
Bro drove past my house
I live in NZ and that is not a highway so you guys are good
im pretty sure its just a road without pathways
Imagine having 3 teams
"I'm a little whelmed" – Sam Denby, 2023
I absolutely love how this series comes out just as I spend 3 weeks here in New Zealand so I get to see all these places in person.
But they didn't finish making cheese… Also it still says eat "at" the next Mcdonald's so still feels like cheating.
As a kiwi myself. I love this
Legendary content
This Volcano challenge was so stressful! Wow! With the back to back shootings of both teams and the damn close finish there with the two teams crossing each other… woooow. It was seconds apart. Wow.
Also the 'it turns out that Kerosene Creek is full of brain-eating amoeba' was a shooocking reveal! Wow. That'd explain why no one is there.
