LOS stands for Locus of Safety. It is a small device that acts as a hidden immunity idol/veto that can get played after a house/face-off vote. The LOS is a bit of an overpowered tool that makes for incredible television. You can make the argument that the fact it gives automatic individual immunity after the fact isn’t fair, but Sequester a whole, is an ever-changing game where you’re never truly safe. Playing the LOS essentially reveals the cracks in everyone’s game as now a new target is put on the chopping block, and the game itself explodes.

As much as I love Big Brother, it’s gotten a bit too easy to expect the unexpected. A LOS dramatically shifts the game, and even though it won’t always be positive, it creates a dynamic viewing experience.

The Fact It’s on YouTube and Has a Thriving Social Media Community

I’m generally two seasons behind on Survivor because I don’t have cable, and I don’t want to pay CBS All Access to only watch Survivor. I wait for Big Brother in the Summer, and then I binge whatever I missed from the past year, along with Young Sheldon. The fact I can watch an entire reality show on YouTube is perfect. I can stream it on my phone, laptop, or Smart TV. The best ability is availability, and the fact I can then go on Facebook and join the Sequester group where Audrey and former cast members will interact with you is fantastic.

Most of the time, it doesn’t feel like Big Brother cares about what we want, but Sequester caters to fans and gives us quality content.

RHAP Coverage

If you are a fan of Big Brother/Survivor, then you need to subscribe to Rob Has a Podcast on YouTube and I-Tunes. Their coverage of reality television gets done at such a high level, and their hosts have excellent non-pretentious attitudes. They welcome fans and talk about our favorites shows in a serious and fun fashion. With time to spare during off-seasons, they’ve begun covering Sequester, and it is a significant help as Sequester is a very specific game, so having these reality tv experts dissect it and champion it is a welcome-sight.

I’m hoping I can blog about it when Season 4 comes out down the line.

Sequester Celebrity Mini’s

Recently, Sequester has been killing it with the Mini competitions, wherein one night, players can play an entire night of Sequester online. On Friday the 17th, they had a Big Brother vs. Big Brother Canada Sequester mini that included legends like Ika Wong, Rachel Reilly, and Matt Hoffman, among others.

Audrey has it where no more than 3–4 players are allowed to be in the same video chat (room) at once, and it forces players to jump around and play the game. Watching blindsides within seconds happen live is unique and exciting. And not pre-meditated blindsides like on Big Brother. Plus, you add in the fact that people watching live get to comment and tweet about the show; it makes more like a sport than other reality shows that like to highlight their sports atmosphere.

The fact you can play Sequester

One of my best friends’ from Online Reality Games played in a Sequester Mini (shoutout Carlito), and two people who I have hosted/played with on Online Reality Games have been on the YouTube reality show. Sequester allows its Patreon Patrons, to get in on Sequester Mini’s, and there are applications to play on the website. Imagine if Survivor or Big Brother had something like this? Again, this a show who cares about their community and understands that without fans, they wouldn’t be able to accomplish their goals as a reality show/game.

WHERE TO START WATCHING?

Start with Season 2 of Sequester. Season 1 is good, but it’s a bit different. Similar to Big Brother, Sequester finds its groove in Season 2 and takes off from there. Again, the first couple of episodes are a bit rough as there are a ton of players, and you don’t fully understand the game, but once you get to like Episode 5, it’s hard to stop watching, and you care about everyone in the game.

There’s never been a better time alive to binge this show with everything going on.
