The $2000 PS4 ULTIMATE Build

The contestants of the build competition are about to find out if they have won or lost their secret envelopes. The judges will decide who did it best and whoever wins gets $200 back and the other team gets a meager $70.

An aquarium is the lighting fixture, which means that one of the teams has successfully built an aquarium using only a portable cart from IKEA. No, we got this, meaning that another team claims to have done it first.

Oh man, someone's phone is ringing, and it belongs to Josh, the boss man. He answers it and finds out that his favorite person is really him, which is not surprising since he's the leader of the team.

Josh then asks a hypothetical question: if a team were to lose their secret envelope, would that be a problem for the competition? Hypothetically speaking, they do have a spare envelope, but it's in Josh's possession.

Is that really what you're doing right now? Did you plan ahead because you knew I was going to lose the envelope? A good director has to be prepared, so that's why he got another one. Are you telling me that we need to come back to the office right now?

The fact that Josh has the envelope is such a huge relief for him, as he is stressed and worried about botching the first hour because they were all over at Hobby Lobby. They have to go all the way back to the office, then get their actual challenge, and then go back out and find whatever it is.

We're team Ken, and we've arrived at IKEA to buy a portable cart to carry their aquarium. We got space for activities, but wasting nearly half the day was not worth it.

Team Austin has arrived back at the office to retrieve their envelope, only to be told that they suck less next time. Was coming back to the office even worth it? They'll have to wait and see.

We're checking in on team Ken, who appears to have everything they need from IKEA. All that's left is to checkout, but this is not your average cashier. Awesome, hey, thank you very much, have a good day. Wait, before you leave, sign something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got a phone? You can sign my phone. Oh wow. That's a big deal man, you sure?

You're a star man. I mean, I understand you, I was stunned. (laughs). You're a star. Leader, I don't know about that. We'll work on that one.

The teams are discussing their next move. They want to build a PS4-PS1 hybrid using just paint and masking. "We're gonna paint it." That's not cheating, is it? Josh could do it for them.

How long would it take to paint a PS4? It's easy, it's easy. We can help paint right now. What we need to do is just not tell the judges until they're done judging. We can do whatever we want as soon as they're done and they render their verdict.
