You're gonna have to send the perfect text
to bring in people of every description.
And whoever brings in people the fastest
will be the REACT Channel Text Master.

- Yay, okay! - Yes, well deserved.
Bro, that was so hard.
- I was texting at least my grandma, and she just didn't
figure out how to at least open a link.
- I feel so bad, because literally while I was on the phone,
she was talking to a doctor, and I'm on FaceTime
like open the link, open the link!
(group laughs)

- Y'all gonna get me in trouble, but it's fine.
- They hate me, are you kidding me?
- I'm friends with all of my exes. - Must be nice! (laughs)
- I'm texting right now,
It's just that I don't know if they're answering,
that's the only problem.

about being called in as an ex
so that Rae can win points?

We're gonna say goodbye, but you guys are all great,
and we love you!
- Thank you! - Nice to meet y'all!

with a belly button piercing they can show us,
you get five points, three points for an eyebrow,
two points for a nose, one point for an earring.
- You underestimate the sorority girls that I know.

- Oh! (laughs) Let's go!
- (FBE) That's amazing.

- Yeah. - I'm trying, I'm trying.
He texted me how good looking I am.
- I'm like please man, I just need a favor,
you're so cute, just hop on this call.

trying to put together that content, and yeah, yeah.

You have to join right now, and I'm like um, okay,
I just got Dunkin' Donuts, but I guess I'll join for the one time.
- (FBE) How do you know Jayka?
- Um, so I don't know, it was just like,
it was my cousin's quinceanera, and she was there, I was there.
We met at the snack table,
and then we just like connected honestly.
- I don't think that's how we met, Chase. (laughs)
(group laughs)
- I have no clue how we met.

- (FBE) Jayka, you were the overall winner today.
- Yay! - Dang!
- Woo!
- It was really hard getting my grandma on,
because she does not know how to work any technology at all,
but everyone else was pretty down for it,
and I was really surprised.
- It was very fun and hard at the same time.
I think the worst part about it was like trying to get
the people to actually answer a text right away,
especially if you don't talk to them all the time.
- I realized I need to be more friendly with old people
just in case another challenge like this happens again.
I gotta make friends with some elderly people.
But it was fun, it was fun.
