I Want In S 1 E 5 Recap
"I do!".. Bro is NOT joining."

So many debuters, so many misses... and one hit! This one's a bullseye!

That's right, Dartboard's in for real! You can call us on our bull's hit! (Just don't come crying to us when you get the horns!)

"Dartboard's Big Debut" is the 5th episode of I Want In. It was released on Monday, September 9, 2024 (6:06 AM EST).

In the episode, a new player debuts the game, and the players have an egg drop!


Tropes

  • Actor Allusion: Mega’s Prediction Layout’s guess for who places last in the debut being Flexatone is a reference to his recommender's (Megatheobjectshowguy1) "IwI Prediction V4 (As of episode 4)" video, as he predicted Flexatone would be the one to receive the least number of votes. Additionally, MPL's second guess being Dartboard is also a reference to the video.
    • And the music, "Chat au Chocolat" that MPL's plays when his votes are revealed is the same one that's used in the background of his prediction video.
  • Bait-and-Switch: This is not "Dartboard's Big Debut", Chezburger debuts.
  • Dramatic Irony: Because Chezburger’s user had to leave the Lime Time, they were oblivious that they won the debut.
  • Exact Words: The challenge is an egg drop, and once every member of the team drops their egg, they win. When the contest started, Fly Tape wraps his egg with his tape, and safely drops the egg to the ground, completing the challnege. But 1000° Iron Ball drops the egg to the floor, and even when it broke, he also completed the challnege, as he points out that they didn’t have to land the eggs safely.
    • While it seem like the Walnuts had won, Checkout Counter points out that Fake Fake Candle needs to drop her egg, and she’s still washed up at the beach.
  • Irony: The episode’s title seems to be spoiling that Dartboard joined the game, but in the episode, he actually gets the lowest votes to join the game.
  • Lampshade Hanging: During the Lime Time, while revealing the players who don’t debut the game, Checkout Counter calls in Confetti Cannon and Tech Deck to the register, Confetti questions why, before Tech Deck scowls to her that they clearly lost, as Checkout reveals those two to not be joining the game.
  • Never Trust a Title: Bro is NOT joining.
  • Remember the New Guy?: During the Lime Time, Pink Julien was announced that he lost the debut, despite no one ever mentioning him, or being present in the debut auditions last episode… only except he kinda was. In the previous episode’s description, there was an unlisted video that leads you to his secret debut audition.
  • Something We Forgot: Purple Ghost had left Fake Fake Candle at the beach.
  • Spoiler Title: Subverted, the title is advertised that Dartboard had won the debut, but he actually lost in the vote.
