Don't let the tower fall | The Cult Ep.2

[@Jake-vg7mw]

Lewis having his clear vision of how it would go be immediately shattered by Boba was great

[@Fredy_The_Yeti]

He was so overwhelmed with disappointment that he couldn't even be suspicious

[@Notski]

Personally I have a very strong hunch that Lewlew instantly thought that she had to be a cultist but felt bad so he wanted to secretly "join" the cultist and throw away some suspicion from them. His years of being the person who introduces the TTT-sessions (and is kinda the de jure showrunner because of that) has trained his brain for content above all else. And chaos is content. I also might be completely wrong and Lewis was just being Lewis and over thinking it

[@emaus9398]

The real reason Ben couldn't stay

[@Balsiefen]

That, and the fact he actually _is_ Rain Man.

[@petrusverlosser3674]

[@NukaLemonade]

@@Balsiefen Ben can definitely count to ten.

[@Kriiispy]

Can't believe Boba got away with it flawlessly just because the other Yogs thought it was plausible she was that bad at Benga, amazing

[@etherdeef4303]

so incredibly dumb it hurts metaphysically

[@chillax360]

She got away cause bekki couldn't count and the first three that included boba made it like duncan was the one lying.

[@HantaleMedia]

Yeah not the uhhh, best play by the yogs. Only 2 people actually knocked blocks off, and both of them had very unbelievable stories about how they did it. All Becky did was misremember some floor pieces, and the number was close enough anyway. It's hard to tell how much they're being intentionally dumb for content, and how much is just them not being great at deduction. It's really obvious to us because we know who the traitors are, so that doesn't help.

[@ZyroShadowPony]

​@@HantaleMedia seing them play TTT for years prepared me to expect thisbxD

Jenga towers don't lose the top row. Ravs would actually have been more believable if he had shoved down the whole top of the tower and then blamed it on Lydia leaving it so unstable.

[@mark.mazzarella]

Right, both Ravs and Boba taking a few layers off the top is WACK lol

[@Wyattporter]

My thoughts exactly. “Guys, something fucking horrible happened, I walked out there and the tower had already collapsed, I tried my best to rebuild but I could only move 3”

[@Vital_Velocity]

I'm honestly surprised at how trusting they were of Boba's reasoning.

[@Peanuts1000]

Yeah, interestingly enough, holding back the amount of damage you do like that actually makes you more suspicious.

[@wackoman544]

yeah the immediate blame game would have been genius, "who the hell left the tower like that"

As always, he trusts the tingle in his balls a bit too much.

[@weezact7]

He even admits in the previous episode he ALWAYS misjudges Duncan.

[@thornordfeld7848]

So goddamn infuriating that he cast blame on Duncan, and plainly ignoring how sus Ravs and Boba were. Smart of the Cultists to keep him in, he's just as likely to sabotage the innocents as they are xD

[@grahalachl]

For a second I had hope for our dear Ravs there.

[@MrSpannners]

​@@ChrisMorray He brought it on himself though, as far as lies go, his was terrible and made no sense.

[@jordinagel1184]

@@MrSpannnersyeah, there’s basically no way you can “accidentally” knock off just the top layer or two in jenga, unless you actually have your hand up there and accidentally throw them off directly when moving your hand. I don’t understand why he didn’t just knock the tower over, even if just partially: - It would’ve made the tower shorter than what he did, resulting in a lower prize - It would’ve been more believable, as that does happen much more regularly than just the top three blocks falling off - He could’ve blamed it on the person before him for making the tower unstable, deflecting blame away from himself in a somewhat believable fashion

[@InsaneCucumber]

Tom is so good at these sorts of roles. That look when the cultists were trying to decide who to kill 👌 And his reply to Boba asking for chocolate!

[@Shaniq307]

Lewis' demeanor going from bright and chipper to stressed out father during the holidays is absolutely priceless.

[@klaxoncow]

Lewis: "My latent deductive powers from years of TTT" But, Lewis, you always get killed while doing the intro in TTT.

[@stone5against1]

[@dangercorp]

Boba and Ravs just making the most insane choice to knock a few off the top as if they'd never seen a game of Jenga. Ravs could have knocked it off at the wobbly center and pretended it was the wind.

[@dangercorp]

@@kurojima right. Then he could have bailed her out by saying it could have been the wind, moving suspicion off himself by trying to help her.

could you have removed the top 3 layers and hid them away in a corner somewhere? lol

[@internetonsetadd]

@@LadyLawper Yeah there wasn't much she could do and get away with. Destabilizing that early would be suss. IMO it was either play the game straight, leaving it to Ravs, or topple and try to implicate Bekki.

[@Hazlius]

I really don’t understand why they just… knocked the blocks from off the top, rather than “trying” to play honestly and saying it fell over because it was so unstable? It’s *so much more suspicious* that just a few blocks fell off the top than it collapsing entirely

[@kaelananderson9237]

Seriously. I don't think, in 30 years, I've ever seen a handful of blocks somehow slide off the top of a Jenga tower. They either collapse completely or, at best, the bottom half remains standing. I would bet you could ask 100 random people and not one will have seen it. Boba had her hands tied going so early, but Ravs could have gotten away with just kicking it over.

[@Peanuts1000]

Neither of them just didn't happen to think too deeply about it. On the surface level less blocks dropped=less suspicious. Even though it's just gonna make your story really hard to explain. Maybe they thought that the order people acted in would have been a secret instead of impossible to fake the order with an interrogation right after the act?

[@drewpeacock9087]

And yet only Lydia brought that up at all,everybody else was too focused on meaningless details like if there were 1 or 2 blocks on the floor

[@lollordfrozen]

​@@kaelananderson9237 boba really didnt have her hands tied at all, there's alot she could have done. She could have made the tower alot more unstable, push blocks closer together or closer to one side. Basically make it hell for the next person. I'd also try to steal some blocks completely, seeing if they would allow that even.

[@TomMotTom]

Boba fucked it a bit, but recovered by sheer luck of Bekki counting them wrong, then Ravs really fucked it by not even thinking up a plan and just knocking shit over that clearly couldn't happen as he described. They could have really owned this but fumbled greatly

[@BenersantheBread]

They both fucked it. Jenga towers don't just lose a few pieces at the top. They literally would've been less suspicious if they knocked the whole tower down.

[@swearimnotarobot3746]

3:30 she had such a good idea with making it unstable. But she didn’t go with it. 26:40. No innocent would say, “us innocents”

[@internetonsetadd]

It's hard to think in the moment. It might help the game for the cultists to know the challenge ahead of time so they can strategize together. Rav's best move would have been to topple the tower at its weak point and then place one block. Neither of their stories about knocking several blocks off the top made a ton of sense.

[@oscarvissers2563]

They could have actually hidden the blocks, to create even more chaos

[@capt_iron2797]

Lewis arguing with himself in an empty room is what I imagine the early days of the yogscast was like behind the scenes

[@SGz_Eliminated]

The problem was presumably the two culprits weren't very familiar with Jenga, its nigh impossible for some pieces from the top to fall on their own which made both of their stories real sus.

[@DaniRijo]

boba was so on point that lewis was going to be so paranoid its charming how well she knows lewis. i love boba sm

[@TopLob]

This is why figuring out who is the baddie among yogscast members is so difficult. By all logic, the Boba should've just destabilized the tower, so she could blame the next person if it fell, claiming it was perfectly stable. So logically, the cultist **SHOULD** have been Lydia who left such a shaky tower, but I've seen her try and cut carrots, so you never know if they're a baddie or just bad at doing stuff in general. Because everyone are agents of chaos in their own way, there's no way to tell if someone is just extremely bad at something, or if they're the cultist. Incidentally, this is why I love the yogscast and never want them to change. Absolutely brilliant series.

[@fugyfruit]

Bekki didn't even count the blocks the only reason she kept claiming there was only one block was because she trusted Boba when she lied that their were 4 blocks

[@SuddenReal]

Except that Bekki was the one who said four. Boba just agreed to it.

[@mattmcginn8096]

Was a bit of a miss that both of em took "can move as many blocks as you want" to mean "I can accidentally move a few" haha

[@akathon151]

The traitors played this task really poorly. A traitor going early could have moved a bunch of blocks to destabilize the entire tower, hoping an innocent would knock it over later. A traitor going later could just shove the whole thing and blame someone else for destabilizing it. Removing just a few blocks from the top was the worst thing either of them could do. Either way, I absolutely love this format. The production quality is through the roof. I can't wait for more!

Very interesting to see Boba managed to play off the blocks on the floor. The facts of the matter were so clear too! Boba went, she admitted to "accidentally" knocking blocks off... but only a few? That's not normal Jenga so it would ring suspicious... and Bekki noticed blocks on the floor and reported as such... so clearly Boba is suspicious and yet she STILL managed to get away with it! Very impressive Boba! Very impressive indeed! I don't know how she talked her way out of that. I liked Mark being the wild card and whispering, "Unless I'm lying...." Also Ravs INSTANTLY defending himself should be seen as suspicious... the innocent have nothing to hide, so why was he so reactive? Hm? Lydia was right to be suspicious. Then Lewis just... not seeing the pattern and throwing suspicions to Duncan and Mango??? Lewis is such a wild card. "It felt like his story was so innocent." Lewis!!

[@Peanuts1000]

Yeah, putting them back in from the top was the first thing that came to my mind. Or subtly moving the blocks around to make the tower more unstable, without actually changing their spots in the tower, would have been nearly impossible to spot. Knocking a couple off of the top was such a weird move. But then again. Watching from the sidelines with hindsight might just be affecting my perception of the situation to make them look dumber than they were.

The cultists should've taken blocks from low down on the sides (leaving the tower poorly balanced) then stacked them vertically (further destabilizing the tower) OR just rebuild the tower from scratch since they can move as many as they want and make earlier players seem like liars to future ones. Boba and Ravs flubbed their go's so hard, but they were soooooo right to keep Lewis alive. Man is suspicious of everything. I hope they make a million of these videos. They're so good!
