Perfect timing. Was about to go into town for trivia night. Remembered that its still winter and flu season.

Now im in bed, nice and warm, looking for something to watch

I liked this one as an interesting take on Make Some Noise and everyone seemed vested in actually competing. However, I guess I've gotten used to the show ramping up it's weirdness factor to where the show felt like it belonged in an earlier season.

Kaylin is a treasure and deserves so many nice things.

Sam responded to this in the past so I can't help but think it informed the animations this episode. I wonder if that'll come up in the BTS for this episode

I feel pretty sorry for Kaylin being thrown into doing the job of three people

Yes. It was funny, and it felt like a clever acknowledgement of how hard their crew work.

But I really hope DropOut has some kind of process for getting prior consent before surprising someone with a major role on camera.

Considering other evidence, I would guess they do? Hiring an intimacy consultant for an on-screen gag, and Brennan asking for consent to interact before a wrestling gag on VIP makes me assume they do get some level of consent from each production cast members first.

Older evidence against would include the rough ending of Total Forgiveness - arguably a failure in their consent processes. But it's a good sign that the newest evidence is in the right direction.

(Edit: I hope they address it in the behind the scenes next week.)

She's been on screen in previous episodes and was planning to be in this one, maybe just not in such a major way. I know they have a timeout thing where anyone can call a timeout for any reason if they're uncomfortable etc. I think/hope her nervous persona was played up for the bit

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 day ago

I don't think she made any long distance calls with their phones.

I noticed that too. That was a clever way to make sure she felt screen-ready and to catch her reaction on film.

Nice!

I think/hooe her nervous persona was played up for the bit

Yes. I think she definitely played it up for the bit. DropOut is lucky to have behind the scenes talent who are able to step up as performers!

Wow. That was a wild ride.

And fun!
