- Okay, this is never a game I ever wanna play again.
It's like waterboarding for apples.
- Get up, bitch!
- Jeannie, are you kidding me?
They are islands!
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) Well today, we've got a Try Not To Fail challenge for you.
- (laughs) Yeah. - Not good at that.
- (FBE) We wanna remind our fans if you want more try not to challenges
please check out the new Try Not To Channel
for brand new versions of your favorite challenges,
though some Try Not Tos will still be released
here on the REACT Channel.
So how do you think you guys are gonna do in this challenge?
- I know I'm not, I suck at a lot of things. (laughs)
- I have no, I don't know what we're doing,
so it really depends. (laughs)
I could do great, or I could do really terrible.
- (FBE) For each round, we're gonna be putting you
through a series of tasks,
each of which has a distinct goal that needs to be accomplished.
You'll be competing against each other to see who completes each task first.
Whoever completes it first gets a point,
however, if you fail at the task, you'll lose a point.
- Wow.
- This is gonna be bad, because I'm very motherly towards Jeannie,
even though she's older than me. (Jeannie laughs)
So me, I'm gonna be like no, let me help you!
- (FBE) So first up, we have this geography test.
You'll have five minutes to name as many states as you can.
- Bruh.
- (FBE) On this blank map we've printed out for ya.
- You're joking! - Yeah.
- (FBE) Remember, you get any wrong, you failed.
- Any wrong? - This is crazy.
- I think the last time I looked at a map
was in fifth grade.
- (FBE) In three, two, one, go!
- This is gonna suck.
See, I almost put L.A. for this, like, it's already going bad.
- Five minutes, that's an eternity.
- (laughs) It really is.
- (screams) I don't know which one that one is!
Uh, that one's... - I don't even know,
should I just guess?
- Just to give you some context,
Seth, I didn't grow up here, so I don't know [bleep].
- I'm just gonna start with the ones I know,
and then it's gonna get scary and terrifying.
- I don't wanna write it wrong, that's my main issue.
- I don't know, is Oregon above Washington,
or is Washington?
- (FBE) Remember, if you get any wrong, you fail.
But you do need to get-- - Yes, amazing!
- (FBE) But you need to get more than your opponent.
- I'm excited. - I might have these mixed up...
- I'm just gonna... - This is a risk I'm willing to take.
- (FBE) Does anyone know what state I'm from?
- Yeah, Minnesota. - Are you really?
- (FBE) Uh huh. - Where the hell is that?
- What's on top of Washington? I thought that was it.
- You got it, you got it. - (FBE) And time!
- You got it! (Trudi laughs)
- Whoa! - No!
- You got a lot! - Oh no!
- New Mexico, New Mexico, oh my God, I'm a horrible Mexican.
- I put the, I thought this was Hawaii.
(buzzer rings) - Jeannie, are you kidding me?
They are islands!
- (FBE) You got Utah. - Arizona.
- (FBE) Arizona.
- (Brittany) New Mexico. - (FBE) Yeah, New Mexico.
- (Brittany) Texas. - (FBE) Texas.
- (Brittany) Washington.
- (FBE) Nope. (buzzer rings)
- Oh [bleep]. What's on top of us?
- (FBE) Oregon. - What's Oregon? (laughs)
- (FBE) You have West Virginia, or did you put Kentucky?
- (Alberto) That's Kentucky. - (FBE) That's not Kentucky.
(buzzer rings) - Damn, that's Kentucky.
Damn it, I knew it was one of them too.
- That's Kentucky? - Kentucky looks like a drumstick.
- [Bleep] I thought that was Georgia, bitch.
- So I mean, it had to be right.
- (FBE) New York is which one?
- This guy. - Oh, what is happening here?
I guess that's Puerto Rico.
- (FBE) That is incorrect.
- Oh really, this guy, right here. This one right here is New York.
(buzzer rings) (both laugh)
- Florida. - (FBE) Yep.
- North Carolina? - (FBE) Yep.
- South Carolina? - (FBE) Oh wait, no no no.
Ah, that's Virginia. You got 'em mixed up.
(buzzer rings) - Oh no.
- I always thought Boston was here.
- (FBE) Cool, Boston's not a state. (Seth laughs)
- Oh no, [bleep] [bleep] [bleep]! I meant Massachusetts!
- Texas, Hawaii, Alaska. Tennesee, Kentucky.
Georgia, Florida, Maine. (Jeannie coughs)
- (FBE) That's right! - All of it is right?
- (FBE) You got Illinois right, Louisiana, Georgia's not right,
Tennessee's not right. - (Izzy) [Bleep]!
- (FBE) Was right, you got the Carolinas, kind of.
Nope, you didn't. - [Bleep]!
- (FBE) Your Colorado's incorrect.
- Oh, maybe that one's Colorado. - (FBE) Uh, no.
- Okay, maybe that one. - (FBE) Nope.
- Okay, it's this one. - (FBE) Yep.
- Okay, fine.
- They look like squares, bro!
- I've never been to Hawaii or Alaska!
- I'm taking you back to school.
- (FBE) Ready for your next challenge? - No!
- Yeah, woo, I feel good!
- (FBE) So for this next round, we're gonna give you a game
that has plenty of opportunities to fail.
You're gonna be playing Operation.
(Seth laughs) - I feel like I shouldn't
feel confident about it, but I do.
- Fun! - Okay, okay.
- I used to love this game, I'm terrible at it.
- Yeah, yeah.
- (FBE) You'll each be picking up three items.
- Okay. - (FBE) So if you fail at any of them.
- Eh! - (FBE) You'll fail,
and if you pick up all three, if you both pick up all three,
you'll tie. - Okay, sweet.
- Which one is. - A-choo! (laughs)
- Which one looks easy?
- So if I flip the board over, and I get all the pieces,
do I win? (Jeannie gasps)
- Nerve wracking.
- These are all in really bad positions.
So, this one's not even showing. (Izzy laughs)
- One.
- Oh my God, look at how shaky you are!
- Oh God, okay. - Oh my God.
He's like... - One down.
(laughs) You're making me nervous!
- (gasps) Whoa! - Okay.
- (FBE) Alright, now Izzy's turn.
(buzzer rings) Ope!
- Oh no! - I have to put it back?
- (FBE) Yep. - I'm sad!
- Oh, okay, okay. - That was good.
- Nobody let me bring my reading glasses in.
That's too bad, boom.
- You got the easiest one! - Well, I wanna win.
Hey! (Izzy screams)
- Yo, let's go!
- I'm going for the toast.
Boom. - Did it.
- Toast aquired.
- (FBE) Alright, that's two. (Jeannie sighs)
- (sighs) Oh my God.
I feel like Brandon's kind of a ringer.
You guys brought in like an Operation ringer.
- (FBE) Alberto, you got this?
- Yes. (buzzer rings)
Aw, no wait, wait, wait! (Izzy screams)
I didn't know the thingy couldn't touch it!
Nooooo!
- Come back! (buzzer rings)
[Bleep]! (laughs)
- Alberto, you're making me so nervous!
- Oh!
(buzzer rings) (Izzy screams)
Yeah, she touched it! Woo!
We killed two people so far!
(buzzer rings) (Trudi yelps)
- Scared the hell outta me. - Alright!
- (FBE) There it is. - That scared the hell out of me!
- (laughs) It's been a while since I've played Operation,
I suck at it! Damn it!
- (Michelle) There she goes.
- (FBE) You passed! (bell rings)
- Ugh, God! - We're both at zero. (laughs)
- That's very nerve wracking.
- How you, ope. (buzzer rings)
- Ugh. - There you go!
There we go! - Ugh!
- I told you not to go for the heart.
- Oh my God. (bell rings)
- (sighs) Sweating!
- Look at... - Sweating!
- I was so close. - Yeah, you got two though.
- It kept scooting away from me. - (laughs) Yeah.
- No! - As long as we failed together,
I'm good. - No, I'm not good.
I wanna beat him for once.
- (FBE) Next up, you guys are gonna be playing a game.
- What game?
- I really want this to be Smash. - Mario Kart!
- Yes, woo! - No! (laughs)
- (FBE) Alright, in this round, you're gonna be playing
a round of Super Smash Bros.!
- Let's run it, let's run it.
- I like playing it, and I'm terrible at it.
- (FBE) So here's how you're gonna be playing.
You're gonna have one stock, and we're gonna be playing
in Super Sudden Death mode.
So each of you are gonna start with 300%.
- Oh no!
- (FBE) So basically, the first person to get a hit wins.
- Yeah, that's kind of harder, because it's like,
now it's not about skill, it's mostly about luck,
'cause she could land one, and that's all it takes,
and then boom, I'm out.
- My strategy is to run away. - That's, okay.
I mean that works.
- (FBE) Alright, well, if you're ready to fight,
let's do it! - Okay, I'm clearly ready to fight.
I'm so good.
- (grunts) Stop it, I don't even know what to do!
- Oh, oh! (Brittany screams)
- Whoa, wait, hold on. Whoa, okay.
- Aw, are you fuh, serious? (screams)
- No, oh! (laughs) (Izzy screams)
Get away, get away, get away, get away!
- I'm terrible at this.
Brandon's like "I wanna play with a normal person,
this is not even fun." (laughs)
- I'm just gonna watch her. - I'm just like,
okay, so what is this? What move is this?
Wait! - (announcer) Game.
(bell rings) (Jeannie laughs)
- I just... - What the [bleep]?
- No, no! - There we go.
Okay. - (announcer) Game.
- Well, that was fun. (both laugh)
- Oh!
Oh snap, get up bitch! - (announcer) Game.
- What? - Oh, shh.
Ugh, God, oh, oh. - (announcer) Game.
- It's just, I had to win, it's just, I didn't wanna.
- It really wasn't that hard.
This was, that was like a mercy killing,
and I appreciate that.
- I already took the L, it's fine.
- I feel okay, I got some room to work with now.
- (FBE) You guys are gonna be doing an egg drop.
- Ooh, egg drop? Ooh, I love egg drop soup.
- No, no, like you're gonna... - You know how to do this too?
- Yeah, you did it in science class in like the ninth grade.
- (FBE) We're giving you five minutes
to build as best a contraption as you can.
At the end of it, you'll drop your egg onto the ground
and if it doesn't break, you pass, and if it breaks, you fail.
- Okay, alright, alright.
- I know there's like a... - Watch me break it.
- An effective method to this, but I don't know how
to necessarily build that thing.
- I wish there were crayons, so I could, wait,
we only have five minutes, nevermind.
- Egg. - What is your strategy?
- Egg can't break if it's got a bunch of tape and glue
wrapped around it, right?
- So this is my technique. Here's what I'm gonna do.
- I'm making shock absorbers here, by putting it on the outside.
- Thats... - And then with the pieces
that are cut, I'm gonna use it to fill it in.
- I have an idea, and I really hope I can execute.
- He's using straws, which I'm sure we're supposed to use 'em,
'cause they're there. (Alberto yells)
- My egg! - My egg! (laughs)
- My leg! - (man) My leg!
- I don't know about the glue situation,
it's not gonna dry fast enough. A lot of things are happening.
- (FBE) 30 seconds. - What the [bleep] am I doing?
- This thing is gonna brace the impact, like a shock absorber.
- Haha, ingenious! - Oh my God.
- Damn. - (FBE) You ready?
- Not really, I already know it's gonna crack!
- (FBE) Let's do it!
- Did it work? I feel like it's gonna work.
- Oh, it didn't crack! - Wow.
(gasps) Safe, it's safe! Wow.
- It didn't crack either! - No way.
Wow, you're so safe little guy! It's safe.
- Oh, I didn't hear anything. - It's good, it's fine.
It's totally fine. - Pulls out scrambled eggs.
- Oh yeah, oh yeah.
(bell rings) - Yeah!
- Not even a scratch. Oh. (laughs)
- (laughs) Stop, I don't want my egg to die!
- That one sounded heavy, I think it's good though.
Oh, we're good. (bell rings)
- (FBE) Alright! - Alright. (laughs)
- Three, two, one. No!
That's definitely cracked. - That sounded like...
- (laughs) From what I can see, it looks good to me! (yells)
Drop! Ooh, that sounded...
Oh! (Izzy screams)
She did not fail. - Oh, I did not fail!
- Solid. Okay.
- Okay, damn. - Solid.
(bell rings) The tape did all the work.
- Yeah. - Disgusting.
- I'm so hopeful that this works. I hope my walker sticks work.
Okay. - Ooh, a sponge, good idea!
- An elaborate, oh [bleep]! (laughs)
Woops, it did not work, you guys.
It seemed like such a fail-proof idea.
It did not work. (buzzer rings)
It did not work.
- (FBE) Before we get to the final round,
let's hear a quick word about the Try Not To Channel.
- Hi, I'm Mary, I'm one of the producers for the REACT Channel.

- Don't subscribe to everything!
Just subscribe to FBE, REACT, and Try Not To.
Don't subscribe to everything else, it's too much!
- (FBE) In your final round, we are gonna be bobbing for apples.
- Hey! I've never done...
Is that a GoPro at the bottom?
- (FBE) That is a GoPro at the bottom! (Izzy laughs)
- Dude, they're gonna get close and personal.
My eyelash is gonna come off, you better put that in the camera.
- (FBE) You guys ready to do this?
- Yep. - Yeah.
- (FBE) Whoever gets the most apples wins,
but if you get zero apples in two minutes, you fail.
- [Bleep]. - (FBE) You ready?
- Yeah.
- (FBE) In three, two, one, go!
- Oh [bleep], I can't reach!
I can't reach, I'm little!
- (laughs) Okay. (Alberto whimpers)
- I can't even get one. (Brandon laughs)
- That's not gonna work! I'm gonna fall over.
(Brittany laughs)
- What the [bleep], I can't reach 'em!
- (laughs) I got one!
- I'm know I'm [bleep] horrible. (gurgles) Bobber.
- I have such a small mouth, this is so bad.
- How did you get it? (Alberto laughs)
- I'm like swallowing water. - I can't see.
- [Bleep].
I didn't realize how hard this was gonna be. (laughs)
- Okay, this never a game I ever wanna play again.
It's like waterboarding for apples.
(Michelle grunts)
- (grunts) I got it!
- (FBE) Alright, Alberto got it, Izzy! - What?
- (FBE) Time!
Have a seat. - How did you get so many?
- I just got three! - I had one!
- (FBE) Izzy, you failed all but one challenge!
How do you feel about that?
- I don't wanna talk about it. I'm so angry!
- I'm proud of you, I'm proud of you. - Michelle, you won!
I'm so proud of you! - You won in my heart.
You are the apple of my eye. - I'm so proud of Michelle.
Michelle deserves to win everything. - The joke went over her head.
- I managed to just fail a little less.
I didn't actually succeed.
- In terms of rocking failure, I snatched that victory
out of the jaws of success. - She got that F.
- That was fun, I enjoyed that. - I'm not good at these,
and I will keep not being good at these.
But I will keep trying! And that's what matters.
