      @@MaxArtheyit looks simple on the tracker but Tokyo if you’ve ever been to is an overly complicated city. Kudos to them for just finding the entrances and exits of the stations let alone the vending machines. There are usually 3-4 vending machines together on every corner.

      Sam didn't exactly know where Adams hiding spot was, the tracker seemed to be pretty inaccurate for most of the time. He was also at the risk of being tagged himself either by moving too close to the vending machine or by not moving at all since Adam could as well go on the hunt for him which Sam might not immediately notice.

    • @Blex_040
      @Blex_040 9 месяцев назад +106

      Ironically, getting drunk is an integral part of Japanese culture... For example, you are expected to regularly go to a 飲み会 nomikai, literally "drinking meet-up", with your colleagues after work or else you might get shunned (and not promoted). There is also a portmanteau word of 飲む nomu and communication called 飲むニケーション nomunication which describes how Japanese people talk freely about important things when drinking which is more important in Japanese culture than in western culture because their culture values politeness and social order more than honesty and individualism. An employee usually doesn't speak up during a meeting when the boss is explaining the business plan, he waits until they're both drunk to give his opinion.
      Long story short: It would have been culturally very appropriate to get drunk in Japan 😂

    *Edit: The latest season seems familiar...*
    Week 4 of suggesting: They should do Hide and Seek across a city/country with a lot of rail connections, like London, Singapore, Switzerland, Hong Kong. Add Hint Cards which gives you coins to use transport to get to your location, pull as many as you want, but you have to give those hints to the seekers. Eg if you pull 1 hint card to get a mile away from the seeker(s), and the card says to take a photo of the closest animal, you send that to the seeker(s). (There is no tracker) They can either do it like Tag Across Europe with 2 seekers and 1 hider, no guests, or they wait till Season 10 and get all the guests from other seasons on the game. When you hide, you rack up Points, and if you get found your points stop going in to your balance. At the end of the game, whoever has the most points wins, and if the top 2 are tied, there will be a sudden death round. Edit: The replies are Twitter

    Suggestions for a future season:
    1. Blessing cards; cards that give minimal coins, but a major superpower for a short period: invisibility (The tracker is turned off or deactivated); coin multipliers; invincibility (cannot be tagged or at least can't have coins stolen). Possible balance for these cards: can't pull another challenge card for X mins
    2. Trap cards have the ability to cancel out the effect of another trap card. This is a one-to-one sort of cancellation so like the pizza tower canceling out the effects of the ice tower.
    3. Ben or Adam can't be a contestant in a future season but can be a "mastermind" that either team can pay a lot of coins to basically phone a friend to for advice or help on the best step for the game. The mastermind has to help whoever most recently paid him coins so you pay him. He's on your side but he'll help the next team that pays him as well.

      Credit for the good intentions, but that’s just the Kaminarimon and Adam 100% absolutely could have walked (running could be rude maybe, but we see that when he goes around it he’s walking anyway) through it; by 10 am it’d be flooded with both Japanese and foreign tourists lol
      The Kaminarimon is technically the gate to the Sensoji temple, but it opens directly on Nakamise-dori. This area contains a ton of souvenir and food stalls. The temple proper is about a quarter of a mile in, behind a second, inner gate (Hozomon). There’s a Starbucks right behind and off to the side of Kaminarimon lol

    I'm new to Jet Lag. I watched every season within the last couple of weeks on the recommendation of Taran Armstrong. Today's finale is the first one I saw on the day of release. This was such a fun season. I think this episode kind of spoke to why I tend to cheer for Adam/Ben. Their overall strategy usually seems to be better. The difference between them and Sam/Scotty across the whole season was that Adam/Ben only seemed to go for tags when they felt they were advantageous. Sam/Scotty seemed to make tagging a priority and while that can work at times, it's not an optimal strategy. It feels like if they would have responded more to the events of the game as opposed to dictating them, they could have won.

    • @willcampbell2485
      @willcampbell2485 9 месяцев назад +7

      Well Ben and Adam make the game every season so they are normally at a natural advantage because they know the best strategy from the get go. That’s why Sam is always trying to study a ton because he is trying to gain ground strategically speaking

    • @TheBlueWizzrobe
      @TheBlueWizzrobe 9 месяцев назад +14

      I don't think I agree with this. Sam and Scotty revolved their strategy in the last round heavily around responding to whatever Ben and Adam were doing and acting accordingly, and it paid off very well. Unfortunately, this time it seemed like Adam had a plan that was just basically impossible for Sam to react to in an effective manner, which is part of the risk of strategies that revolve around reacting to the opponent.

      I love this idea a lot! Bonus points if they go outside of just western Europe (obviously not to anywhere dangerous). In the tag season it kind of would have been better if they went to more countries and went through more cultures to show what truly is in Europe, rather than just a handful of countries. A "visit the most countries challenge" would most definitely have that area of Europe. I would also be interested to see what strategy microstates add in. Someone who has the vatican and san marino could instantly always battle challenge italy without those countries being able to be challenged (assuming they go by same rules). Really good concept, hope they see this!

    I really enjoyed the individuality of this season a lot, we got to know Ben and Adam as people more (I will never forget Ben's amazing move at Omiya or Adam's amazing capture of also Sam...wait, they both got Sam in the same way xD) and I especially love how we got to know Scotty as a newbie more than any other newbie before because he wasn't attached to Sam's hip as his teammate. I do love Brian and want him to come back (although maybe he can only do American seasons? Despite like...being Irish xD) but I enjoyed Scotty too.
    The only thing that I wish we could see more of this season was the challenges you sped up or referencing the rest periods more. We know you had them during rounds cuz you were all well rested but I missed the little "now it's time for the rest period, we are off to sleep" You don't have to show us the rest periods if you don't want to (like the one in season 2) but at least mention them.
