comfortable cuz you've seen the people

who audition you

already fun educational allinone Zoom

Cafe yummy treat fun to make fun to be

the first year I tried out I did that

rap I was walking around in school one

day and I noticed a boy that looks sort

of great what I thought was the hardest

part was that you only have like a

minute to do it no you got itad when

you're out with someone you keep

thinking about somebody you

bed I was so nervous when they told me

to sing cuz I didn't even know what I

should sing so I'm like so I got up

there I'm still not sure what I'm going

to sing and I'm like I don't know any

words songs

I remember in one of the editions we had

to like uh make a product like our own

product tired of those marbles oh stinky

marbles now I have like bigger ball that

bounces I did purple hair gel this is

our new stay hair gel buy it and if you

buy now then you could you will get a

free hair brushing hair brush I just

happened to have my pocketbook with me

and I had a comb in it and so I made

like the Kimmy Kimmy Tonga comb or

something like that there a comb that

grows it's a comb that grows your hair

longer s s longer the magical comb that

grows your hair longer I once had short

hair but when I use the S S songer the

comb that grows your hair longer Look at

me now I did veggos hey kids have you

had trouble eating your veggies we'll

try veggie O's the sugary but

nutritious vegetable

cereal hey when I made it back on the

and I just finished my last my last

audition I was like whatever I don't I

don't know if I did bad or

good I'm in school on Monday I'm walking

home I turn around the corner and I see

those balloons hanging up across the

tree and zoom

colors I walk home with my friend I'm

like dude I got to

go best day of my life like so

happyself so happy the same thing

happened to me I got off the bus we on

the balloons thing but I got home we

called the producer and the producer

says we'd like to invite you to be on

this season cast I like oh my God I was

so in the beginning we didn't even know

each other well except for Kyle singing

and Franchesco who were together last

year here welcome to the r Time Diner

where things can be any finer what's

wrong with this lady but the rest of us

were new and we had to start building

our team so our producers send us off to

Camp's

Zoom well it's sort of a camp but it's

not a real camp we went to learn how to

be a team that was the second day we've

seen each other I know and we didn't

even like know each other prac I just

sleep on i t with girls I had no clue

who you guys this is

everybody Bri yeah and Mara and Brian

were really good

coaches how many tents do we need two

two so you're going to have one boy set

one girl sent yeah that was probably one

of the first teamw things we did

together like where we all had to work

together I know like I didn't even know

Nick at that time cuz I remember that

was like the second time I met him or

something setting up the T like the

first thing we actually did on the camp

CH was the first thing we actually like

got together and had to that was part of

building our team because when you're

working on a zoom side or a zoom

challenge you don't go and you have to

learn how to do it yourself pick this

spot because it's not very lumpy and

there aren't any thorns in the bushes

nearby we Pi this spot because we

thought it was suitable for us we're

like down away from everyone we're

secluded by ourselves so it's pretty

cool okay just so you know this is a

drainage PP it's all rock everyone I'm

stepping a rock oh and then where we

chose to put our tent it was like this

little ditch thing that we were like ooh

that's a cool dish and then we realized

there were so many rocks there so when

we went to lay down we're like oh this

is

sweet we're trying to kind of build the

tent up with the purple um sticks if you

have the basic image we can um try to

make the T well we're attempting to

actually put this tent up and we really

needed the help yes nice oh we made out

pretty well after a Little Help from

Brian but I we would have got it

ourselves we got it done pretty fast

though we didn't have time to help the

girls and stuff I know cuz we were like

done and then like the girls were like

how do you put this together our tent

was like bigger and better than the boys

tent but we got the good tent we got the

good tent they got a cheap let's get our

in here better when we get our stuff

in oh yeah really know each other cuz we

work as a team now we're a

team I think we all fit together pretty

fast

oh has do a t SP on we had our first

challenge the wall oh so you guys

remember the wall what you have to do is

get your group

from this side here all the way over the

wall that was kind of painful you

cannot reach on to here and use the tree

to climb and frustrating no more than

two people at the top on the other side

well it was fing for you guys cuz you

guys can ret turning Zoomers

are actually not allowed to use their

voices um yeah wait what the old people

were already on the show and they

already knew how to work with a team and

the four of us had never worked together

so we had to learn how to work together

once the returning Zoomers get over that

wall is that if we talk then no oh all

right you guys want you gather over here

and start talking strategy those of you

who can talk CH like this it's the

opposite I remember I think it was like

Nick that came up with this whole

holding thing just all locked our hands

so that it made like a

square I'm not moving then we just

boosted them up not going anywhere yeah

okay you think you can pull yourself

up that was nice who's going to be last

and he's because he's the biggest wait

but how you going to get up yourself he

lift you up and then if he lift you up

who LIF him up he's already

gonna oh he grabbed you yes I see okay

come oning come

on hey noran are you next y did you ever

like think that you weren't going to be

able to do it at sometimes yeah the W

was kind of slippery cuz it was painted

and I was like oh how are we going to do

this nice swing the most painful part

was when it was just

okay okay he's there he's there when I

was the last one there I couldn't figure

out any other way than just trying to

jump so nor what are you going to

suggest my idea was the

sweater try so try really hard we need

to think of a different strategy we were

told to like think of a different

strategy I'm like I can't think of a

different strategy guys over there

trying and help Kyle think of another

way what can you

do we both hold

G

[Music]

yeah oh

come

on come

on

my after it's all over that that was my

most memorable uh challenge I thought

that was the cool one I definitely

thought that that was that's a great way

to get us working

together I was so tired after the wall I

couldn't wait to

eat y
