Secret Life: Episode 5 - GETTING INVOLVED! 

Listen up hall monitors: 1. "Grian you didn't keep an inventory spot open on pearls task" - The task says that is for the original owner (Pearl) not the new owner. 2. "You didn't fail, you called the session end!" - Your task is active until you press the button. Calling the end of the session means to meet at the keeper. We self moderate this series, so please don't hall monitor!

Grian and Etho admitting to each other how they rigged the draw lmaooo

I love how Grian's task is essentially just "be yourself"

Seriously though, gotta respect Pearl for telling after she dropped the book in Grian's inventory. That's straight up class

Grian saying "I won fair and square!" only for BigB to say "He did WIN..." is utterly delightful

The amount of luck that Grian survived that fall with one heart. Just as a reminder. He got feather falling 4 by essential pure chance and 3 wouldnt have saved him. Then he got 4 hearts. If Bdubs *didnt* give the heart Grian wouldve just flopped over dead. Grian you lucky man

The enderman stealing the dirt and Grain panicking with Cleo laughing so hard in the back ground is a gold tier clip

It’s cool to see Grian with a different group this time! As much as I love Grian, Mumbo and Scar combo, it’s fun to see the different interactions and side of these groups!

Grian rigging the machine AND WINNING AND GETTING OFF SCOTT FREE is absolute mood

Watching Grian climb and build small towers with 1 heart is giving me a panic attack.

9:30 is the reason why you need to see all the POVs. Etho quirky era is the greatest thing to happen since the Life series.

Grian’s high screeched “HELP ME CLEO!” Scream needs to be animated 🤣

Grian subtly making sure he has no spare inventory slots when Pearl is around lol

Lizzie's 'well you must be eager for the birthday party, let's go' was some excellent comedic timing!

Task idea: go the entire session without going through a door or other traditional entrance.

Task idea, "Approach a player and say you have something to show them at your base. If they say yes, walk in the complete opposite direction, insisting you know the way. The scenic route, must last at least 5 minutes."

Etho 🤝 Grian Rigging the Heart Foundation

TASK IDEA: You must use pre-recorded messages to communicate, but can also communicate using charades/building things, you may record messages at any time throughout the episode, but you cannot speak to people directly.

Grian was like the kid who joined every single club in school this episode

My anxiety was skyrocketing this episode with Grian being at 1 heart

Task idea: you must go AFK during conversations for very weird reasons. You succeed if someone else calls you out on it 3 times

Task idea: Call everyone by their full youtube username for the entire session

9:30 i love how etho didnt even have to say that hes bdubs. Everyone just knew 😂 ah that moment killed me , so good 🤣

Grian’s feather falling 4 gave him another life.

TASK IDEA: If anyone asks you about your task, you must tell them you have already completed it and make up a fake task to tell them you completed. Every time you get asked, you must make up a different task. You fail if you get called out for lying.

Munbo having a temper tantrum was so funny for me😅

I like that Skizz keeps calling people by nicknames. G-Sharp is a cool one.

the way Jimmy inched forward, looked down at your item, just _gasped_ quietly & immediately ran away

Task idea: celebrate at the end of every interaction with other players like you just completed your task

TASK IDEA: For one session, everyone has the same task. It's a competitive task in which around 3 players are guaranteed to fail. You can choose if everyone knows that they have the same task (and nullify yellow-green guessing), or have them try to figure it out by themselves. For the task itself you could pick something like "lose the least amount of health, bottom 3 lose" or something like that.

Bdubs has been in my top three hermits since season 6, Grian, Cleo and Etho are just voicing what we're all thinking lol.

I’ve never been more anxious then I am now seeing grian on one heart building a tall tower

Task idea: You are a vampire, you cannot enter any building or base unless you are given explicit permission to do so

the living situation of Etho, Cleo, Bdubs and Grian is infinitely entertaining

The subtitles are *AMAZING* like anyone youtuber who adds subtitles instantly has my respect since I can’t hear that well, and like my gosh.

Task Suggestion: For the first half of the session be incredibly sad and disappointed by everything and everyone, for the second half have an entire mood change and be incredibly happy and upbeat and positive.

That quiet little thank you from the bottom of Etho's heart at the end when Grian helped by not looking was so sweet

TASK SUGGESTION: Choose a specific member and act like an NPC around them in both actions and speech for the session. You must have at least 5 different interactions with them. If your person is yellow they cannot guess your task. Other yellows can only guess your task if they guess the specific person.

A cool task could be “Convince someone else to tell you their task if they do they don’t fail and you succeed”

I dont think Grian failed, as the competition was "how many times can you jump over the fire" and saying zero is still being involved.

The desperation in Mumbo's voice when Grian declares Gem's tower to be better is so good

The new Life series should be called Afterlife. When you die (as a red), you become a ghost. As soon as there is at least one ghost player in Afterlife, the ghosts will drift away from the normal upload schedule. They will have their own sessions in between the normal sessions, where they devise plans, make traps, and all around try to haunt the remaining Hermits.

Task Idea: Become a mini secret keeper wannabe. Go up to people 1on1 and ask them if they have succeeded in their task. If they have, reward them with something confusing or useless. If they haven't or have failed, give them vague advice on behalf of the secret keeper. Once you have rewarded or advised 5 people, you have completed this task. Yellow names are worth double.

I love that after the book incident grian always got cautious when pearl got near him

THere's a reason why I've been excited to the Etho/Grian duo and 2 people rigging a system in 2 different ways uncoordinated to allow Grian to win is exactly the energy of why. Cleo is just the catalyst that allowing that chaos to accelerate uncontrolled

I count Grian as having won, it was the end of the session, he succeeded.

Task Idea / Suggestion: Picky Protector: In every interaction you must choose one of the people present to protect. If it’s nighttime, you protect them from specifically mobs. If it’s daytime, then players. If your chosen person takes damage more than a heart under your protection, you fail. Beware of red names in the day, monsters at night.

Here’s a fun task idea. The book just says: “Go and collect your reward from the secret keeper for free……” And then the next page would say: “……Unless you decided to turn the page, in which case you now have to reroll for a hard task.”

Task idea: you are a "damsel in distress". Get hermits to rescue you from three different perils. The peril can be mobs, a hole you are stuck in, a trap, and you are allowed to set them up yourself.

Task Idea: Create a secret tunnel between two bases without them knowing it was you. You cannot use your own base for one of the connections. The base has to be actively used, so neither the burnt egg or big b’s back rooms count. The bases must be between two different groups, for example no connecting two different mounder bases together. If you are called out for making the tunnel, you can no longer use the base of the group that called you out as one of the connections. If they discover the secret tunnel but don’t know it was you, you can continue. You succeed when the tunnel is complete between the two bases and no members from either group has called you out for building it. The tunnel in considered complete when there’s a continuous direct path between the two bases that is traversable without breaking any blocks (you can use doors, tall grass and other things you can walk through to cover the entrances) You fail you have been called out by enough groups that you can’t connect two different bases or the tunnel isn’t complete by the end of the session. Try to break the trust of a few alliances by making them think they’re stealing from each other lol!

TASK IDEA: You have to say "don't forget to like and subscribe" 5 times during inconvenient situations around other players.

I love the Grian and Cleo dynamic of "CLEO HELP ME!!!" while she loses her mind laughing but still saving him

If those Enderman eggs don't end up in a spawner hidden under someone else's base, I will be seriously disappointed, that will lead to so much carnage

7:21 cleo dying of laughter was hilarious😂

TASK IDEA: If your British or Australian speak in an American accent for 45mins of the session | If you are a Americans or Canadians speak in British accent for 45mins of the session

Watching the endermen just take the dirt blocks to get to Grian was the funniest thing ever

It’s so weird that in Episode 2 Mumbo’s task was to be Etho’s best friend and now Grian just is Etho’s best friend.

14:44 Grian has enough ancient debris for netherite! Someone show him this!

An idea for a task: You must avoid looking at a randomly given player for an entire episode, but interacting with them is still allowed.

The only reason Grian survived that fall was the rigged heart giveaway

I love how everyone thought it was Etho's task to create a Bdubs cult, but it was actually Grian's task to go along with the fake bit that Etho started that really started the cult!

Task suggestion: every yes/no decision made must be made using a coin

[Task idea] By any means necessary get another player to involuntarily fall at least 50 blocks. (They don't need to take damage from the fall)

tango and bdubs: legit grian: throws an extra one in the hopper skizz: sees it and doesn't snitch etho: removes the other contestants from the draw

I swear grian building that tower with one heart gave me a _whole_ new kind of anxiety

An honourable ending Grian - you could have called the end of the session up the tower, but gave Etho a few more moments to return the book, and as a result failed your task right at the end. You're a good egg when all's said and done!

a task where you have to have a “normal” monotone persona for the whole session, cannot scream no matter what, or get excited about anything

grian running in front-facing f5 mode with one heart on is scarier than any horror movie you can think of

"If Gem beats me again, I'm gonna join the reds" That's gotta the funniest suicide threat I've ever heard

40:44 "Your turn Grian." OH GOD NO. edit: oh ok LMAO that would have been epic tho

Task suggestion: Listen out for what resource someone else needs/wants. Gather up an excessive amount of said resource and flood their base with it without them catching you. Alternatively, casually sell the excessive amount of said resource to them for a ludicrous price. If you are caught by your target player or accused of eavesdropping, you must move on to a new player. If this happens 3 times, you will fail your task. You may ask other players about what someone wants, but be cautious when doing so.

I never thought I would hear Grian say the word ‘Slay 💅’ 😂

Grian pitting thee book down and everyone being gone is one of the most underrated moments in yhis entire video lmao

Task idea- you can’t say no. When saying yes you have to do whatever they ask, so if they tell you to jump of a cliff, you have to.If you say no at all you must re-roll or immediate fail

Holy crap I was gripped with fear that whole time-Grian with one heart is crazy hard for me to watch. Sprint jumping everywhere, with extra parkour just for fun... building towers... doing a diving board competition!? I'm gonna have to take some deep breaths after all of that 💀

6:55 you can tell Grian is seriously in danger when he starts screaming and panicking like this

18:36 The way Timmy was just so confident until Grian took out the tnt mine cart and then just ran XD lol

10:00 he was desperate, he had to rig it🥺

Hey, Grian. A hard task for the reds. Set 3 traps that are successfully triggered by green players. They must take damage or die. If you are discovered and called out, you fail. Love the series, thank you for the hours of entertainment. The whole community is amazing to watch. Thank you for all the hard work involved for bringing joy and laughter to so many! ❤️

Etho is just Grian's dependable dad. Cleo, in a classic Cleo twist, would be the mom that never comes back with the cookies.

My favorite line this episode: "Wait, both of you? I'm gonna puke." 17:10

Grian and Etho are just going to start their episodes off standing at the re-roll button. 🤣

Task( Could be made for Any Color, and any difficulty) 1. Get Ghast/blaze spawn eggs and spawn them in 3 ppl's bases when they r in their base. You fail if they die 2. Your task for today is to do nothing, go to the secret keeper and get your rewards But if smone intervenes u in the middle of the travel then u fail. Thank you for reading and your time. 😊💚

Task idea: For the entirety of this session, every time you see someone take damage, you must warn them of the danger far too late.

grian saying “poggers”, wasn’t something i was expecting to hear today

thank you for the captions! they're wonderful

Cleo’s laugh gives me life

grian rigging the thing potentially on accident is the most in character thing ever edit: AND THEN ETHO BEING IN ON IT LMFAOOOO

Task Idea: You hate being talked down to, therefore when speaking with people you have to be atleast one full block or more higher up than them

13:43 You could say, you’re just, cobbling it together

28:50 this whole scene is making me anxious

grian will be a great yellow even while not trying he guessed etho and last session scar's task

Task idea: you are now terrified of crouching, you may not crouch for the whole session if you do you fail. If you see someone else crouching you run away screaming.

Alr hear me out people, farm ghast tears to make crystals. Use those crystals to summon the ender dragon over and over. Eventually it will drop it's spawn egg

41:14 the butterfly effect of this was MAD!!!

Everyone suddenly vanishing after grian looks up from reading the book was absolutely comical

Red task idea. Push someone into bigB's big hole that he dug in episode 1.

I don’t think I can put to words the sheer joy and laughter the life series give me, watched all of them and wanted to say it’s really amazing 😊

Grian, the fact you had to "join the bit" with the Heart Society and ENDED UP WINNING is nothing short of brilliant. 😂

I've GENUINELY never seen Cleo and Grian interact so much in any of the Life Series or Hermitcraft. Wonderful to see them team up and hang out this series!
