I think it is absolutely absurd that any of the versions of this show would have contestants eliminate each other, it feels like the total antithesis of what the show claims to be doing in finding the most physically fit person. Contestants should ONLY be eliminated based on challenges.
I have loved watching all the different versions of this show, one for game play obviously. However, the thing I find interesting is how each country edits their shows differently.
Both the Korean and Asia versions do these triple repeated sounds-ups/dialogue. So in Asia one team is yelling “OOOHHH” while reacting and they replay it two more times for emphasis. Italy and Mexico didn’t do this.
Italy however would do these really stylized letterboxed black & white slowmo shots to emphasize a dramatic or intense moment.
Now, i can’t remember what made Mexico’s edit style unique, but i’m sure they had something.
I am so interested to see how the other international versions look like. It’s like a glimpse into each of their TV worlds. I find it fascinating. Am i the only one?
Has anyone done any games at Prototype Escape Games in Jacksonville, FL? I’m going to a family reunion there during Labor Day and was thinking of hitting it up. The youngest player in our group would be my 12yo daughter. All their games look good for us (minus Cannibals in the Catacombs, which is rated R.) Anyway, I’m wondering if their rooms are as good as they sound and which game out of their two non-scary games would be more appropriate for a 12yo?
I’m so sad. This has been a very long time coming, but it has finally happened, La Croix has finally discontinued their Apricot flavor. I am so sad because this is my absolute favorite flavor and it was grossly underrated. UGH, I may never drink water again!!!
I was curious if any of you have played any rooms where the game play allows for different experiences, maybe like a choose your own adventure, that would be conducive for players to play the same room multiple times with different experiences?
I saw the post from yesterday from someone asking about if escape rooms were a profitable business and it got me thinking that if there was a way to make a room replayable then that would certainly help with customer retention. So, then it got me curious if that actually existed and if so, how it worked.
I just happened to stumble on this comedy show on Amazon, but it looks like it is either a BET or Paramount+ show. As a white woman in my 40’s, I don’t typically get recommended BET shows, but thankfully i got recommended this one! This comedy mystery show is really entertaining and exactly the funny, crime caper show I needed! If you love true crime AND comedy, please do yourself a favor a watch this show!
After watching the reunion is is abundantly clear that Kinetic Content (production company that produces this show and also Love is Blind, MAFS, Perfect Match) needs to be held accountable for casting psychologically unhinged people (men) for their shows. It was beyond cringey and frankly disgusting to watch the men on this show. They are misogynistic pigs. I’m disgusted right now.
These two epitomize people who use therapy speak without actually doing the therapy work. They both think because they did deep internet dives or in Blake’s case, long talks with chatGPT about relationships that they have all the answers. I hope when they watch this series they will gain some self-awareness about each of their own faults.
Some context - I have a friend who has also been my boss off-and-on over the past 8 years. I work freelance and she has not only hired me a number of times, but I’ve been out if work for a few months. She’s not hiring at the moment, but she’s been passing along my resume onto other people in our industry with a glowing recommendation. Not only that, but I applied for a job listing for a company in our industry and I didn’t have any contacts there and she reached out to her contact and made sure my resume got in front of the right people.
Anyway, I would really love to send her a thank you gift just letting her know how much I appreciate her support and her recommendations. I know her recommendations may seem like little effort to her, but it means a lot to me, especially because I respect her so much personally and professionally and her recommendation carries weight. What is something nice (but not excessive) and a unique, just to say “thank you” to her?
I’m really curious what experienced, passionate escape room gamers consider to be their hands-down best, most immersive, challenging puzzles game they ever played. And where are there? Also, has anyone done a escape room overnight retreat, where it was a mix of puzzles and immersive acting and mystery all weekend long? I really want to do something like that!
I am a mid-40’s F and had been mounjaro for 1 month at 5mg, moved to 7.5mg a month later and then moved to 10mg by month 3. It was then that I suddenly started having extreme menstrual bleeding, gushing to the point of having to go to the ER. It got to the point where I had to get blood transfusions. They couldn’t figure out any reasonable cause. Initially I didn’t associate it with the moujaro at all but I stopped taking it and I have not had bleeding issues since. It’s incredibly alarming that this was never listed anywhere as a possible side effect. Perhaps it’s a rare side effect, but I can’t believe that i’m the only one. I really could have died from this. Please be careful out there!
