[@awonderfulfeeling8588]

Wow I remember watching this entire season on my PSP 3000 back when I used it religiously

[@ericfresh]

same!

[@twiggmann42]

I miss these days. Too much.

[@FringeHistoryGames]

Barmy went on to be the focus in a pretty scary documentary

[@Eddiex510]

Which documentary?

[@wagnerlegiao]

They should make a new season with people from season 1 and 2.

[@dhoerst]

Meredith Molinari is a Queen!!

[@Mr.555ishere]

LMFAOOOO OMFG this literally just tapped deep into my memory bank

[@SpartanArmy117]

Right? I remember actually wanting to see this when it came out haha

[@namcox40]

damn 5k signing bonus is little for a competition but back then when inflation wasn't as it is today that would be sooo much value

[@Nyeshi]

To be fair. This happened right after inflation of 2008. So things were not as “simple” as we like to pretend to see it.

[@dhoerst]

It's more about getting a start in the gaming industry rather than getting a big cash prize

[@TheNo1Stunna]

They need to bring this show back

[@ROWGAMEROOM]

WOW a blast from the past

[@lifestream85]

[@godgamerluna]

[@LuisHernandez-dd3ut]

Thank you for uploading. I suscribed 😊.

[@SpartanArmy117]

I love how the prize is a pretty mediocre job and 5 grand haha

[@gator_productions]

But this was during the great Recession and you couldn't even get a job at McDonald's

[@iisChOoLboy]

Let’s go

[@jarrod2415]

Can you upload the Tester season 2 reunion?

[@malitman]

Isn't a game tester a minimum wage job

[@fulmgusgrukini4727]

Yes and entry level and not half as fun as this show makes it out to be. The plants always win in this show and there are no actual prizes tho, so nobody actually gets their job on the level of "janitor"

So coming back to watch this series after a decade and after that dumpster fire of a 3rd season, it makes it very clear why the the contestants got put on the chopping block in this episode. Roni did objectively the worst in the competition, fair elimination. Fame girl was the most "average" meaning most boring, they want to send her home early. Barmy didn't talk to anyone before the challenge but this episode was very focused on him so his elimination where he cries would make the audience sad. Doc getting grilled over his one joke (which I saw as him trying to explain why he was pausing) was their way to stir up drama. These "reality" shows become a lot more predictable when you put your mind into the people who run the show. I bet they already decided who they were going to bring to the final 3 before they finished filming. All that being said, I still think this is season is very entertaining.

That used to be one of my favorite things in high school, watching reality shows and making predictions on what would happen. I was good enough at it that I predicted where everyone placed (Early, mid, late, finals, winner) after the first episode. I could tell you who would be eliminated at the end of an episode in the first 30 seconds of the episode. Well, that's unfair, America's Next Top Model infamously telegraphed their editing. one of the first two people to speak in any given episode was going to be eliminated at the end of it.
