BrainSurge: Episode 217

[@a.nonymouse6676]

This could not have been an easy episode to get, especially considering that it literally aired just once. But I'm so glad you guys found it the right way. There's no guilt in showing this to my friends/family/coworkers. Even though watching old Matt is cringe-worthy, especially considering what I had to do many years later, it is still something I will never forget.

[@andrekanashiro3892]

Yep he does

I had seen the show enough times, to say the least...

[@a.nonymouse6676]

Ah yes, my episode! I am still not gonna reveal which contestant I was. And just as a reminder, because Jeff didn't say what state we were from: Colton was from NC. Chanell was from ??? (I think it was IL but do not remember). Reysita was from CA. Axon was from TX. Matt was from RI. Lexi was from WA. Reysita was probably under the weather the entire time. Chanell was just as cocky as she showed in the episode. Matt was (clearly) having the time of his life. Colton and Lexi were friendly but quiet. Axon was an aspiring actor; not sure he made it. So I'm not Chanell, if nothing else. I'll reveal my identity if I make it onto another game show.

Let's see: what more trivia do I have? - We played a pregame with the puzzles from episode 201. Chanell and Matt dominated the pregame. - There really is a bunch of editing and splicing. After Level 2, we all went down the Brain Drain at once; Reysita and Colton did not do it immediately after Level 1 concluded. - We were in the green room with the contestants from episode 218, as well as Shaniah and Logan from episode 219.

[@a.nonymouse6676]

Other stuff: - The Brain Drain goo really was just soap, which is what Jeff said in a behind-the-scenes video a long time ago. When we hit the showers afterwards, I did not need soap. - We actually saw the Level 3 from the unaired pilot! The "board fill" sound was much different, and Mayah failed to complete the 6x6. Matt was worried that it was the new "board fill" sound for season 2, as it was not the one we were used to. - Axon was friends with fellow TX native Noah from episode 138. They actually went to the same school for the arts! - Lexi injured her ankle going down the Brain Drain. We signed waivers, so she did not get to file a lawsuit. At least it was a minor injury and did not affect her basketball career! - We did not meet Dan Schneider, mercifully. Can you pin this, Not Mario?

I hope this is enough info to prove I am actually one of those kids. And here's some more personal trivia: since the episode aired, I have transitioned. Which of those contestants ended up being transgender the whole time? It might not be who you think.

[@hectornavarro9868]

I gotta say Matt is a great contestant, with energy and happiness, am I right?

[@chriss1748]

You are right

For those wondering who I am, I revealed my identity in a Brainsurge fan Discord, so now I'll reveal it here. I'm the yellow shirt contestant! I really have transitioned and now go by Chloe, but I was indeed Matt from this episode. 14 years later and I still have the same energy I did then! And I'm no less autistic than I was then. If you have any more questions, I'll answer them!

Reysita didn't even want to be there. I don't blame her; she was sick the entire time. Shades of Giovanni from season 1.

He's lucky he didn't hurt himself like Lexi did. That is probably why the broadcast didn't show Lexi walking down the tunnel. And the Brain Drain goo was soap, after all, so it's a miracle that Reysita/Axon/Matt all managed to keep their footing,

I think this was the only BrainSurge episode to repeat an elimination from another episode

[@danielsamuels5857]

After Round 1. It was purple and green, just like girls vs Boys episodes 2 and 3.

[@josecrane4132]

Pink and blue probably could've switched.
