Some of these newer scenarios are frustrating for the wrong reasons. Teenagers don't talk like this, and while they're dumb, they're not *so* dumb to talk about these things right next to adults. Plus the acting just isn't very strong.

@adi91216 Ай бұрын

This season is just overall awful. The acting, the scenarios, the places. I think the best has been all done in the old seasons. This is just because John is bored.

@Sarah_Violet Ай бұрын

I've been around teenagers like this in public many times. Teenagers want to seem cool so sometimes they will talk loudy like this in public no matter what the subject is. Obviously not all Teenagers do this but the ones trying to act "cool" have done this before even today's Teenagers.

@Diloparker Ай бұрын

In addition, the factors of this, and many other experiments in this show are very flawed. As you’ve mentioned nobody talks like those teens. But the actors are SO unsubtle, so of course everybody’s going to notice. When in actuality most incidents like this go unnoticed. Because people are more intelligent than to speak their atrocities *out loud* . Also, they conveniently allow the subjects to interact with the victim. Which I guess is to allow the subjects to react, or reveal what they think to the victim. But again, this doesn’t happen often; because if they don’t want to act, until the person causing the issue is temporarily gone. Chances are in an actual scenario, most people wouldn’t do anything about it. Because who conveniently leaves the victim alone, when their motives is to kidnap them as an example. You could argue that the whole point of the social experiments is to show how people feel watching such scenarios. But that’s not the point of the show, it is literally called “What would you do?”! The point is supposed to show what people would *do* in these scenarios; but it fails because they are so unrealistic and convenient, they just act as a buffer for the subjects reactions.

If you're unwilling/unable to name specific social media websites, maybe have them say something along the lines of, "that game that went viral". Having teens say "social media" is really giving, "Howdy-do, fellow adolescents! Have you been keeping up to date on the latest on the tic-tacs?"

@spacecadetkaito Ай бұрын

Saying "on social media" is bad enough, i dont EVER hear actual teens or people in general say "viral". Thats something you usually only hear in news reports discussing some recent trend. Maybe they could say "did you hear about this challenge online"?

As much as we think we could spot this as a set up .. when it's all happening and you're in that moment .. it's so fast that you either get involved or you don't.
