SIDEMEN £2,000 CAR CHALLENGE

Who makes a good passenger for Ethan? The comments under "SIDEMEN £2,000 CAR CHALLENGE" have settled on AB, with viewers repeatedly pointing to their shared energy rather than anyone reaching for an imaginary brake pedal.

The group's only new upload this week puts creativity alongside driving skills, and it has already passed five million views. The conversation supplies a distinctly Sidemen checklist: JME's animal-themed car design, the contrast between the teams' passenger experiences, and the unexpected excitement of spotting a Cineworld. One quieter detail gets a mention too: a woman making sure Tobi and JME have something to eat.

The car challenge is comfortably the channel's most active video right now. Behind it, "SIDEMEN LAST TO LEAVE THE RESTAURANT" keeps the previous Sunday's challenge in circulation: teams are locked inside Simon's restaurant, completing tasks for a cash prize and their exit. The sponsored forest-survival return remains another active older upload, giving the channel three very different settings for group endurance.

Across the channel, daily viewing is a little above its usual level, while subscribers were unchanged over the week. In the neighboring football-creator group, Futcrunch had a much larger viewing week and John Nellis added subscribers strongly. The Sidemen's own week was concentrated into a single Sunday release, with its cheap cars generating conversations about everything from driving partners to car decoration.
