#I could see Smosh players like Chanse and Amanda and Shayne and Ian and Spencer really getting into the meta

[startedwellthatsentence]

Okay I was so excited for Smosh to play BOTC. And I’m making my way through this episode. But they are SO new and it’s putting my teeth on edge so I can’t watch more than a scene or two at a time.

There are TPI members and regular BOTC players in California, even ones in Smosh-adjacent circles like Chris. I kind of hoped one of them could have guested, or at least coached an initial game or two of TB to get everyone used to play (and encouraged them to make use their multiple sets for whispers/private conversations, because whispers are pretty important but everyone is on the same couch, seemingly the whole time???)

NRB has Ben and Mara and Ken that help the less-experienced players sort out the information that they’re getting, which is helpful. Even in the beginning Fuckface and Carly could help the group with the solve and with bluffs.

On the other hand, Smosh may be able to build some new metas that could be fun to explore, since they have absolutely no experience outside of each other and their dynamics. So if we get more episodes then that could be exciting. A LOT of the Smosh cast have that willful insanity that, if they wrap their minds around the potential interactions, could result in EXCELLENT chaos.

Slowly making my way through the episode. May liveblog to relieve some of the tension.

Okay so here are my Smosh Summer/Winter Games Team

Team Ian:

Shayne

Trevor

Keith

Arasha

Noah

Olivia

Tommy (It is quite an uneven distribution, so if given the opportunity I would love for Tommy to host some games just because he is sooo good at hosting, and I just love his style of hosting.

Team Anthony:

Courtney

Amanda

Angela

Chanse

Spencer

Damien

These are just lists off the top of my head and dynamics that I want to see in play because they are my favorites. I think it will be pretty funny. We have athletic people on both sides, both teams have good mind-players, and both teams have great synergy together. I mean, this is all wishful thinking though because I won't be raising any of my expectations for the Games soon, but if it does come into reality I will be so elated. This new set of Smosh cast is just MEANT to be in the Summer/Winter Games.

Oooh that sounds like fun! I would love to see this happen. If I had to place bets, I think team Anthony would be the team people think will win but I feel like team Ian will somehow swoop in and get it. Like I said, I didn’t exactly watch either so I have no idea if there are winners but if so, that’s what I think would happen. Also, from my understanding, they need a referee right? I guess that’s what you meant by host, so I think Tommy would be perfect in that role, I could envision it already.
