The Good Place 1x13 Michael's Gambit Season Finale Reaction!

[@misterkite]

In hindsight, the frozen yogurt stores should've given it away...

[@MrStarfan100]

mrkite Ikr? It‘s pure evil to give them frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. Is frozen yogurt even a thing anymore?

[@robertocosta7638]

That's the first thing i thought when i finished first season hahahahaha

[@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr]

I should’ve seen it coming, but as an atheist, I think I was distracted by not liking the way the system works. I thought so much about my suspicions of Tahani not being who she appears, the mistakes of the system, the tiny infractions that supposedly were enough to send people to hell over, the group’s infractions not being that bad, that I just didn’t think about what it all meant. I’m shocked I didn’t see an issue with that clown house and learned 3 people didn’t belong and still didn’t think of possibility that they did indeed belong. On the issue of frozen yogurt, I barely know what that is or why people eat it so I’m not as surprised about that, but yeah that’s probably another thing I should’ve known.

[@zoeyc3855]

Micheal: "What's something that people think they like, but is also sort of a bummer?" Janet: "Frozen yogurt"

[@dundee7631]

Stadtnerz Frozen yogurt is my second favorite dessert...

[@Rmlohner]

Do yourself a favor and rewatch the whole season; there’s a ton of foreshadowing. In particular, Michael’s facial expressions (Danson was one of the few people who knew from the start).

[@ChristmasPterodactyl]

Don' forget to read the comments we left before. A few of them have a greater significance...

[@17thknight]

I had the twist ruined for me and watching all the subtle horrible crap is really eye opening

[@robotpanda77]

My favorite is when Elenor calls him "my friend" and he openly scowls. It's like how did we all miss that?

[@catfoy8888]

How about during the litamy test when he said it was bad the cube turned red

[@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913]

The biggest part was when Michael named the neighborhood " 'The Good Place' " in _quotations_

[@victorsixtythree]

Your reaction was everything I'd hoped it would be. THANKS! The first time I saw this, Michael's evil laugh at 11:22 literally gave me chills! I was mad at myself for not figuring it out earlier. One of the things that never made sense to me was how all these "mistakes" could happen in the Good Place (getting the wrong Eleanor, etc.) but the twist made it all make sense. Brilliant!

[@davidmichaelson1092]

And from here on, the ride gets far wilder. I have never heard a reactor say "what" so often in one episode. I laughed so hard at your reaction (matching mine when I first saw the episode) that tears came to my eyes. Yep...this show fooled us massively.

[@ScoobaMusic]

Twist begins at 9:44, you're welcome

[@perezo27]

HOLY MOTHERFORKING SHIRTBALLS

[@rngwrldngnr]

Kristen Bell filmed a video of the rest of the cast being told about the twist that's posted on KZbin.

[@victorsixtythree]

here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpqQe2iHrqtnnrc There used to be a longer version that got taken down, so I hope this video will stay up. Apparently, of the actors only Kristen Bell and Ted Danson knew of the twist going in.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Here's a slightly longer version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXPLqpykZa2Ugrc

[@17thknight]

Don't worry, watching your brain slowly melt was *extremely* entertaining. I had a smile on my face the whole time.

[@megelizabeth9492]

That's literally why we're all here.

[@suncore598]

I love how confused you are by the twist. It is so adorable.

[@Buffy8Fan]

Rewatching season one when you know the twist is very interesting. You notice things you didn't before. PS Not saying anything is better because it is the reactions we care about.

[@robotpanda77]

How about when Michael tells Chidi his manuscript he spent his life working on is terrible and throws it in the trash right in front of him. lol

[@sapphiresushi3437]

And how he was torturing Tahani because she couldn’t help him

[@sapphiresushi3437]

I was so scared when I was watching this, especially when Michael started laughing. I was alone in my bed in the dark and it was just MAXIMUM C H I L L S

[@mask6615]

Spoiler I thought that that could be the bad place because: -Chidi had to wash dishes (what would never happen in a good place)

[@joesterpher3017]

ma SK and he had stomach pains

[@wolfwing1]

I had suspicion within first few episodes, mostly from the simular reason she had.

[@rngwrldngnr]

I assure you, it was entertaining to watch your reaction.

[@purujitparashar4642]

Only Ted and Kristen knew about the twist ending

[@eolsunder]

yea they told the others in the script read-through.

[@entertainmentlife430]

You could tell with the way they played the characters

[@Jordan-Ramses]

I knew from the first episode. There was a Twilight Zone episode with the same concept. I don't try to figure it out I like to be surprised.

[@markcastellanet9672]

You should re-watch the first season knowing what you know now.

[@CzarsSalad]

i rewatched it... it's actually better on the 2nd viewing

[@zoeyc3855]

Yeah, it makes a lot more sense the second time.

[@markcastellanet9672]

@@zoeyc3855 you see a lot of things you missed the first time through.

[@zoeyc3855]

@@markcastellanet9672 I know.

[@azizuladnan2957]

Edit: First off, I want to say, looking forward for the next reaction! I have to be honest... I watch the whole Season 1 for just one day (3 days ago!) And I just watch Season 2 episode 1 until 8 for one day (yesterday!) And then finish watching Season 2 episode 9 until 13 today... The only reason I watch it all very quickly cause it's so good!!! And I'm regretting too wait for season 3!!! P.S. I finish episode 13 like 5 hours ago!!! I want Season 3 T_T

[@victorsixtythree]

9:34 - You put your hands on your head at the same time that Eleanor did!

[@2theOmega]

I love how there’s literally 5 minutes of them saying “This is the bad place” over and over and she’s still like, “What?” 😂😂

[@McBeelzebub]

Trust me it was entertaining to watch. Seeing people cross the first season threshold is always entertaining to watch!

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

That was an amazing reaction. You didn't speak vocally, but your face was talking volumes. Volumes, I say.

[@HuntingViolets]

A very interesting thing about this is that a lot of the cast didn't find out about this till towards the end of the season.

[@SpontaneousAndStructured]

Is every season like this? Let's just say the writers are awesome.

[@kenapplegate904]

Erin, your expressions communicated quite a bit. And, while I can't speak for anyone else, I found it all perfectly engrossing. Brava! 8)

[@oliviawilkerson2801]

WAIT A MINUTE I SEE "The School for Good & Evil" ON YOUR BOOKSHELF! OMFG THAT’S LEGIT MY FAVORITE BOOK SERIES!

[@ohmanholyshiit]

I just realized you have two books from The School for Good and Evil series in the back! I also started to read that series but I only have books 1, 2, & 4. Sadly I don’t own the 3rd one but I did borrow it from my school library before it closed for the rest of the school year. I don’t know how I’m gonna return it though since I’m going to a new school next year so 🤷🏻‍♀️.

[@dustyb58]

I thought that would have been a really cool concept, to just kinda rewrite one season repeatedly. But overall I was happy with the series.

[@roseofthegarden_]

LOL you were so _shook_ at this reveal. Same here!

[@teddymasters1347]

Love the reaction, it’s a little weird not seeing it but you have good reaction

[@Alakaizer]

Anyone who spoils the twist goes immediately to The Bad Place.

[@ambert.3792]

haha, your reaction was so cute!

[@danielruiz8259]

Please season two

[@Atlas_Redux]

Don't have to say anything for it to be entertaining, your facial expressions was more than a thousand words xD

[@yousup2667]

another big twist next season

[@zenithquasar9623]

I looove the real Elenor!

[@dodapictures2141]

I’m polyphobic

[@TMThesaurus]

You're really cute

[@manamitalukder]

Why do I get the feeling she has watched it before and this reaction was for this video. No hard feelings.. this is my favourite show so it's fun to watch again and again. Still sad it got over but I am still in double minds over the last episode ❤️❤️❤️

[@rachelr4126]

Yeah i got the same impression. When the reveal happened there really wasn't a reaction and then throughout the rest of the episode the confusion seemed a bit forced. I wonder if she just had the twist spoiled by some previous comments or people talking and she overheard. Which would be sad honestly, I hate when great twists like that are spoiled.
