giving up the vetos and not using the jammed door really cost him. that could have made his run.

[@PalmelaHanderson]

I don't know, the vetos really do seem to just answer the question most of the time (either you honestly use it, which tells the seekers they're heading the right direction, or you try to fake them out by using it, which sends them in your direction anyway). I think vetos are really only usfeful in endgame scenarios (take a selfie, tallest thing you can see, etc).

[@Captain_Subpar]

@@PalmelaHanderson In some cases you're right especially when it's a one or the other situation. But for photo of the tallest building, I think the veto is great. Lots of places of singular, distinctive buildings that you wouldn't want the seekers to see.

[@robertpero]

I think they wanted to show off the move card in the deck their selling so he drew it on purpose in the last round but threw the game at the second location because he didn't want to win by cheating

[@thany3]

There is a slight possibility the he "had to" nerf himself, in order for them to tie which might make the next season more interesting, or in order for the episode to be not too long, or perhaps their time in Japan was getting towards the end. I'm saying it could be a strategic loss for the channel. Then again, no single person is as perfect as all the youtube comments combined, not even Sam.

This was honestly one of the most frustrating runs I’ve watched in all of Jet Lag. Sam didn’t use either of his vetoes, he discarded the Curse of the Jammed Door, and he didn’t randomize the thermometer.

It is hype that they are tied for all time wins going into next season!

[@ScottSweeney]

Why didn't Sam play Curse of the Jammed Door right after he drew his next card? They already have to exit a metro station to ask any question due to the other curse, and they'd have to go through a door for each train, so that would've meant they'd need three successful dice rolls to ask and then act on any question. That would've been insanely powerful.

[@SourceOfBeing]

I think Sam has a tendency to overthink and overfocus.

What a horrible fumble by Sam. He had the most OP card and curse combination, and didn't play them. Just collecting time bonuses that he could have collected later and gained at least 1-2h by playing the Curse of the Jammed Door together with the curse to only ask questions outside of the train station. And vetoing the tallest building question. They would have had such a hard time finding his station in this narrow triangle of multiple train lines. I hope the next hide and seek either adds some new fresh eager guest player(s) or they find a format where they don't tire out as much as this season. Still a great season. Thanks for all the fun content.

[@riceram4607]

I believe Sam was tired, sure he could have played the veto, but ben and Adam most likely were just going to ask a different photo question or ask the same one for double the cost. Also, the jammed door curse would have been good to use, but in the end it seemed pointless since there are many trains in urban areas. Each run was super long and they walked a bunch throughout the 6 days. I believe they just wanted it to be over since they really seemed to lose all of their energy. Sam could have played better, but give the guy some slack because he is just human.

[@elixirgoblin]

Bro picked Jammed Door over Drained Brain with an empty hand, skipped a veto for a 10min bonus, and eventually discarded his veto and Jammed Door cards for time bonuses. 35min is good but idk man. I'm not playing the game but from the couch it seems like those are very powerful cards.

[@Shkiperkir]

Veto is overrated by viewers lol. 1) You can reask questions. 2) You don't get card pulls for vetoing question 3) If you use it on photo question it's basically a "discard 1, pull 2" card, which is weak. You can leave it in hope that you can use it on matching or measuring question (tentacles is ideal), but it's still worth probably less than, let's say, a 15 minute bonus.

[@Adam-g01]

I feel everyone has underutilised the veto except Bern, cards in general. Adam and Sam seem to both hoard the cards and never actually use them

I don't think I agree with most of Sam's plays. First of all, the fact that he did not start planning out routes when he got the move card, not using the curse of the jammed door OR choosing the curse where you can remove 3 questions. Yes, the cost is to discard your hand, but at the time, his hand was empty. Also, not using the veto was an Adam move. This run could have been so much more difficult for Ben and Adam. But anywayss, he was never going to beat Ben. CONGRATSIES BEN

[@PDjargon]

I felt that if he did play his cards right (keep in mind we don't know what cards he drew for the endgame) he could have extended his time a lot more than he did to definitely take 2nd from Adam. Especially if he took Bird Guide as he was in an park (in an urban area) and it was going to start getting dark in an hour or two it seemed, as he could have gotten luckily enough to find an duck (which is a bird) just sitting around on the water or by the water he would have forced Ben and Adam to do the same but in the dark and much more likely to struggle to get it.

Discarding curse of the jammed door AND a veto was CRAZY.

[@PhotonBeast]

Yeah; I think at this point, if you're gonna hide under something, you'd want to hide under/near something that you could trick the seekers into thinking is a bridge but is actually something else.

@Tomwithnonumbers maybe, yeah. Maybe even a place with regular crowds. When their hiding in a isolated spot, a single person sticks out. But in a crowd, not so much

I JUST discovered Jet Lag a few weeks ago and was immediately hooked! I have been binging all the seasons and this is the first episode I got to watch on premiere day. So now I'm faced with suddenly having to wait for more episodes 😢 😂. Anyways, keep up the good work guys!

[@DavidCornell1]

Awesome series! Some feedback, in my opinion (people are welcome to agree or disagree): I think Jet Lag works best when it’s a “travel show” turned into a game. That’s how it felt in earlier seasons. More recently, it feels like a “game” that involves travel, which in my opinion is less interesting. That’s mostly to do with the challenges; I like it when the things you have to do in order to get coins, or points, or cards, or whatever are things like “Go visit this waterfall for 10 minutes and compliment it” or “go through this cool museum and take a quiz” or “find the oldest building in this quaint European town” (or the Okaihau Express song lol). To me, that’s the core of the show, with the “game” framed around that to make it competitive and strategic. When all the interactions are just like “now you have to roll the dice 100 times” that’s not as interesting to me. Credit where credit is due; the team (as demonstrated very well this season) is incredibly good and very entertaining to make me enjoy the show as much as I do even while many of the challenges (or curses, in this case) are not very interesting.

[@DavidCornell1]

Although I will say, the way this season worked lends itself better to the actual game that they’re selling. So I guess that might have been intentional to ditch the more outlandish challenges-type-things for this season.

[@Modie]

Agree on that one. I always thought the games that require someone to earn coins work better than those that work with curses. Curses have to be something to slow someone down which have to be way more general. I get why they do it with the hiding game, because if the seekers had to earn coins to ask questions, then the hider would have nothing to do for the whole run. But I feel that's mostly the case anyway. Which is why I would love if they changed this idea into some sort of Geocaching, where everyone of them hides some "treasure" with hints to the treasure and they all search for someone else's treasure at the same time. And in order to get hints, they need to earn coins. This would allow more localized questions. Though I guess it's harder to sell if it's too localized to the country they are playing it in.

[@Captain_Subpar]

@@DavidivaD Nah, I don't think playing the vetos or curses would have won him the game but they definitely would have bought him another hour or two.

[@gndo9145]

Is it just me or did Sam completely misplay the whole run? Had the move card from the beginning but never took the first couple hours to make a plan on where to go or how to use it. Didn't use the curse of the door jam when they had to leave the station to ask questions. Didn't keep the veto questions when this is a game of information, or at least use all curses to make it super inconvient to just ask a question. I just feel like the value of the cards he discarded were way higher than the value of the time cards.

[@sapphmapper9388]

This Jet Lag season has marked a big point in my life. I remember feeling extremely lonely at my college when episode 2 came out, and it helped brighten my day. When episode 3 came out, I was at a family reunion for Christmas. At that point, my immediate family was preparing for our first trip to Japan. My grandfather was at the family reunion, and he didn’t feel like eating at the feast because of some stomach pains. We wished him well, and I didn’t think much of it. When episode 4 came out, we were in Japan. It was so cool to see some of the places I had seen in this series. I felt like I had gotten a bit familiar with Japan just by watching the show, which made it easier to adjust. It’s one of my favorite trips I’ve ever gone on. But back home, there was an emergency. My grandpa’s pain had worsened, and he was now at the hospital. I watched episode 5 before our flight back home. My grandpa got worse then better over the next few days. There was this persistent feeling of dread, but watching episode 6 made it easier. My grandpa died last Saturday, and we buried him today. He loved to travel all over the world with my grandma, and the thought of him staying in one place now hurts me. Still, I’m thankful to him for giving us the opportunity to go on so many trips and make so many memories. Maybe one day, I’ll go to the places that he and you have visited. Thank you, Jet Lag, for keeping my mood up in these last few weeks. It hasn’t been easy, but your silly travel show has made it a lot easier.

[@Arnavyea]

gosh sorry for your grandpa , he's in a better place now , hope ur okay :)

[@LocalRatNo1]

Dude I feel bad for you but you WILL NOT find consolation in people on the internet

[@KDsquared]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a very similar experience this season, when the trailer came out I was so excited to see it and everything was going so well in life. Episode 1 came out the day after my grandmother had a big fall in Germany, a few days before I was traveling home for the holidays. I saw the second episode at my parents house in Germany and found a lot of comfort in it as well as the third episode on the weirdest Christmas of my life. She had been in hospital for a while and ended in the icu, but around the fourth episode she seemed to be stabilizing and I traveled back home to the US. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case and Ive had to travel back again last week for her funeral and am now watching the final episode back in the us again. It feels touching to know someone else got comfort from this during a hard time, but I truly am so sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to celebrate and keep your grandfathers memory close in your heart and can travel to some of his favorite places. ❤

Not taking that birdwatcher Curse was a mistake! Sam was in a park on a lake. Surely, there were ducks somewhere nearby. He could easily film those for 15 mins. And then the others (not currently being near a lake) would struggle to find a bird in the fading light that they could film any length of time.

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

I will never understand why Sam didn’t play the jammed door curse when that alone added about 3 hours to Ben’s first run time, which would’ve just won him the game. Pretty sure I’m not alone 🤷‍♂️

I think this could have gone very differently if Sam used his cards better. No veto on some things that led very easily to him, no plan for the move card, no curse of the jammed door as they closed in, but this was still a very cool series to watch as basically my introduction to the channel.

[@rjd1564]

I mean as a Ben fan im happy with the outcome, but that was a generational blunder. Sam had a whole game changer with the curse of the jammed door especaly with them having to exit a station to ask questions and that they had to transfer multiple times. Adding to the fact that the Talest building could have been vetoed. And potentialy using curse of the bird guide instead of the discard could have been realy bad for Ben and Adam considering Sam was close to a park and probaly could have filmed a bird relativly easily and it was about to get dark so the chasers would have to look for a bird in the dark and film it.

[@i-kun_yeetpain]

41:42 you had Urban Explorer on them so they had to go outside to ask a question you could have hit them with jammed door and every time they wanted to ask something they would have to go outside and roll to get back in. why discard jammed door and veto for time bonuses this play makes no sense those were as we have seen 2 of the most powerful cards to use.

Yea Sam had good cards. He just wanted a break already.

[@OCEANbreezeDIA]

Sam threw so hard this run. But I agree with the rest of the comments, he probably did it because either the Move card didn't come to him organically and he didn't wanna win off cheating but wanted to show us how that card would work, or it was the end and they were all tired and probably pressed for time to finish this. Either way, this season of Jet Lag was probably the best one yet so kudos to the boys!

[@neptune3161]
