Sequester

If you like Big Brother or Survivor which I mentioned in previous Media Monday posts then you will definitely like Sequester. Sequester is another last man standing reality competition that takes elements from Survivor and Big Brother and mixes them into a new cool concept. It was actually created by a previous Big Brother contestant named Audrey.

Basically in Sequester you have a group of people sequestered in a house similar to Big Brother and each round there’s a twist on how people get eliminated.

For example in the most recent episode the twist was called Majority Rules and the players had to pick a person in the house’s name as the answer to a question. Who ever guesses the name that the majority also guesses is safe while the people who answer differently are up for elimination. Everyone then votes out someone and the person voted out gets to expose three people’s votes then decide to go against someone in a battle match (a type of gender-neutral competition). The loser of the battle match goes to the jury house while the winner goes back into the house.

At the end of the game when it’s down to two the jury votes for the winner.

This is actually my first time watching a real season of Sequester. I got into it because some people from the podcast community I follow Rob Has a Podcast participated in a Sequester Mini early this year. Sequester Mini was a fully online version of Sequester that would take place over 5-6 hours. Yes, I sat for 6 hours to watch this LOL! This was a great way for Audrey to grow her community during the pandemic. But now the 4th season is going on over on Sequester Access on Youtube and so far I’m loving it. Some people who played in the minis are playing the real game so it’s been fun to see the differences and finally join this community.

So if you are a reality junky like me or want a show that does not require a subscription then Sequester may be for you. It’s awesome to have found this community and to watch it grow. I hope one day if the show continues to be as entertaining as it has been we’ll be able to see this show on some streaming platform.
