Format

Four contestants take part in a series of challenges based on watching viral videos. In the first round, four videos are shown; each pauses near its end, and a question with three possible answers is asked. Contestants secretly select the correct answer. The first video is worth 1 point, the second 2, the third 3, and the fourth 5 points, for a maximum of 11 points. The player with the lowest score is eliminated, receives a consolation prize, and rides in the Surf the Web area. The remaining three players have their scores reset to zero. They are placed on an apparatus—either a large scrolling wheel or a shaking trackpad—and exercise while videos play. After each video, Carlos asks questions; players buzz in by hitting one of three lit buttons. If one contestant is wrong, another may answer. Point values increase: the first two videos have two questions each, worth 10 and 20 points per pair, and the last video has one question worth 30 points, for a maximum of 90 points. The lowest-scoring player is eliminated, leaving two for the final round. In case of a tie for lowest score in the first two rounds, the tied players play Video Remix. A question is asked about a video in which a certain part repeats; the tied players lock in how many times that portion plays, and the closest guess advances. In the final round, up to three videos are shown, each played twice. On the first play, the two surviving players watch and indicate the moment of impact with a horn sound. On the second play, they buzz in at that moment. The player closest to the moment of impact wins the video. Winning two videos lets a contestant win the game and advance to the bonus round; the other player is eliminated and receives a consolation prize.
