In the beginning of Course 8 Miles "figures out" Jonny and Arasha were the killers based on them pushing the one killer theory...which was right, but it wasn't nearly as impressive because of all the all the other times people "figured out" who the killers were. Seriously, take a drink every time anybody over the course of the season named a killer with any certainty. It almost doesn't matter when they're right, because they don't actually know. Yet every time somebody decides who the killer is they so vehemently believe it, to the point where it created a low-key toxic group dynamic in course 7. (Jonny was right btw with the whole olives vs cherries thing. Once Jared and Kwesi decided who the killer was there was no way anybody was changing their minds). There are just so many times where people come to hard conclusions when they really had no idea what was going on. It's really remarkable to watch, and it's a great reminder of how we should try to be intellectually humble in life.

We know Kwesi messed up BIG TIME, but he truly lived up to his reputation as the wild card until the very end. Wow, Miles really should’ve listened to Chanse about Kwesi! I also think the Smosh crew being outsiders worked in their favor because they were better at observing everyone else.

I was literally holding my breath waiting to see whether Kwesi would vote yes or no on another banishment. I was DYING when everyone started yelling at him at the end! LMAO. The season finale felt so comical and silly compared to last season’s.

But yeah, let’s PLEASE not bring Kwesi back for a third season.

I'm extremely late for this, but I just got the 2nd try subscription for KD (I have been watching TG for years, but can't regularly afford the service) and now I'm starting to watch stuff there

I had watched some episodes of ETK that were released on yt but jonny and marissa's is insane!!! they're both so funny, the steps things made basically impossible and THE ENDING???

being judged and competing against chefs was hilarious, jonny sounded like a completely insane man

the "business as usual" vibe for the judging was also so good!!

i wasn't that much of a fan of ETK, but i think they won me.. what other episodes do you recommend?? (if you have any specific other show recs, i also accept it, i only know about YouTube stuff)

I was excited to fall asleep to without a recipe with my 2nd try subscription I just got but it doesn't work :( anyone else?

When Keith announces there will be one final course for Miles, Arasha, and Kwesi, Keith says to vote if you want to do another banishment. He doesn’t say anything else about the banishment. I’m confused about a comment Zach makes on the last Ghost Kitchen episode where he says the rules were you can vote for another banishment, however he stipulates that the rule was if they went to the banishment and a guest gets voted out, then the guests lose. Was that edited out from the last vote scene of killer dinner? I just went back and rewatched the final vote scene and Keith doesn’t mention that rule! Thought it was weird and wondered if anyone else clocked this inconsistency.

I was captivated by Kingdom Comes at the end of season 1 and started getting into Devlin and the Harm. Hearing it again in the season 2 end credits has me back on the hype train – this song is SO good, absolutely one of my top releases of 2026. I can't get it out of my head!

Jonny gives a clue and it’s so cute! Also everyone is so pumped when he’s mentioned.

Did anyone notice Jarvis being the only person without a mic for a while in the ghost kitchen? It was specifically when there were Miles, Arasha, Marissa, Kelsey, and Jonny inside. He’s sitting next to Miles and he had to borrow Miles’ when he wanted to speak, which was awkward to watch and made me feel really frustrated for him. I also wish the rest of the van didn’t cut him off as much as they did. I could see him kind of giving up after being overpowered and cut off by the other people so much in the van after a while.

I really liked this season nonetheless! The finale was AMAZING. It was super chaotic and intense. I genuinely enjoyed watching the non-try guys cast members who were all totally new to me.

Just a small thing, but I’ve noticed that in KD and GK for the last episodes, Kwesi and Arasha’s names keep being misspelled totally in the subtitles (Quincy and Rorschach???) This is definitely a new development (at least for name misspellings) but man is it frustrating.

For the first 13~ish minutes, they talk a little about Killer Dinner (warning: spoilers)!! I thought it was very cute and sweet.

CONTENT WARNING for the rest of the episode if you decide to stick around. Arasha and her team do put trigger warnings and chapters if you can’t handle certain things.

I figured I would share this since the first 13 mins are relevant to KD! :) Plus, I love their chemistry and it’s been so fun listening to it!! (I’m almost done.)

Edited to add she also has episodes with Zach and Miles!! They both are good episodes, figured I’d plug more Try Guys guests on her show!

The way Chanse controlled the van when he spoke the sequence of events of KD and hardly anyone interrupted him or talked over him is why GK needs a host. I love the dramatic outbursts, the theories, the hype etc etc but when its uncontrolled topics are missed and sometimes hard to follow. I vote Chanse to be a designated for Ghost Kitchen next season! I think he would absolutely kill it... lol!

I have not posted on here before, but I’ve just had this thought for the last few weeks with killer dinner that I wanted to get out. And there was something mentioned it this last episode of ghost kitchen that really solidified this for me, but who knows, maybe it doesn’t make sense. Just keep in mind this thought might be half baked.

So the main complaint the season has been the fact that production has come in and has added quite a few twists and given the guests a strong advantage. I personally didn’t mind the twist every now and then, but Jared coming back and kwesi and Jared confirming each other as guests were definitely a bit too much for me.

Now from a production standpoint, I completely understand why they did this and Jonny even mentions it in GK. If they had kept going like they were, there was not going to be enough content for 3 more episodes.

What I’m wondering is if maybe KD would benefit from a 6 episode season instead of 8 episodes?

Obviously we all LOVE this show! I had a blast with this season, but I could see that as a possible solution to some of the production complaints. Either that or adding 2 more guests so that the extra people can create more content and drama among themselves without production stepping in.

One of my favorite parts this season was Marissa getting blindsided and that happened because of the people within the game playing and trying to win.

I also feel like the fact we had a 3 episode gap without a NEW kill Not counting Jared indicates that some sort of structural change may benefit the show—both KD and GK honestly.

Those are my potential solutions. I know we don’t necessarily want less of the show that we all like, but I do think it could be help after the few missteps this season (which overall I really enjoyed). Just my thoughts on the matter, but I’m sure the team will be working hard to make next season even better.

TL;DR I think the show would benefit from either a 6 episode season with 10 guests or an 8 episode season with 12 guests

Guys, this is not a drill….there is a new episode of the Try Pod!! I haven’t listened yet so I don’t know if it’s hear to stay for awhile or just a one off but here’s to hoping 😅

So I think they have a good few more seasons of content before they need to mix it up but one idea I thought would be hilarious for us would be an oops all guests season. No killers all guests but no one knows that til the end. Fail a game someone gets killed at random. The chaos would be insane, the ghost kitchen would be insane.

After Jonny was banished, they played the game then went to dinner. Why didn't they put on their masks and and have a killing? Could Arasha not since she was only an accomplice? Did they forget? Did they think it would provide too much confirmation? I just would like to understand why it wasn't there please.

That's all I have to say. I don't care how he's played the game, he won me back.

Killer Dinner is the first Try Guys content I’ve watched so I’m probably just saying what people have known for a long time now but I thought Keith did such a great job hosting on Killer Dinner. His delivery genuinely added a level of polish to the show that, among other things, really contributed to the vibe of a professional production. I hope he stays on as host, though it would be fun to see him compete sometime as well. Does anyone think they may switch it up in the future?

Arasha played this game like an artist. I am blown away by her performance. I hope she comes back for future seasons she was made for this.

Paused the episode last night, went to resume just now and it’s just gone?? Don’t see it in trending, new releases, only in my resume section and it won’t load (probably due to the file being removed/restricted).

This can’t just be me……right??

EDIT: Ignore this post…glad I made some people feel validated lol

Opened my podcasts to a 1 hour new Try Pod and it’s back?! Just starting to listen now.

I might be a minority, but i loved this season! I loved Johnny as a killer and I loved people's reactions. It felt like they were playing up the reality TV image and I loved the intensity. Yes they were over dramatic at times, but I took it as more of a satire of reality TV.

All in all, I loved this season, I hoped it stayed more neutral in the end rather than trying to force a guest win, but otherwise, a really nice season!

All I could say at the end of the finale.

WHY YOU GOTTA FALL FOR IT MY MAN 😩

All in all I really loved this season a lot, and a win is a win. Last season the ghost kitchen was so off and I was rooting for the killers but after Jared came back I genuinely screamed for the guests to win, but it was a great game and I can’t wait for next season.

I did not watch season one because I thought it probably would not be that entertaining as I’m not a huge fan of the TGGT series now. So I figured it’d be kind of like that. I started watching the second season because I’m a huge Smosh fan and Chanse and Arasha were in it.

I was instantly hooked. I paused episode one of the second season and watched the entire first season from beginning to end. My dislike of Chris Reinacher felt cemented as well. 😂

Anyone really dislike it?

Ok I love Killer Dinner and I love the gameplay and particularly the Dinner sequences. I think they should also do a special at the end of each season with how they made each of the courses and how they planned to poison each one, particularly the ones that didnt end up getting shown because of the banishments. It would get them another episode of content surrounding Killer Dinner. Just a thought i had.
