The funniest part of the monopoly game, in my opinion, is the amount of idolization of Carl, the Beachbody CEO, but each coach is "the CEO of her own business." OKAY. 😂
BB huns in particular absolutely worship their CEO while STILL calling themselves CEOs. If that’s not proof that they don’t know what a CEO actually is and does, I don’t know what is. Notice that they never call themselves CFOs of their biz despite being “in charge” of their income and business expenses.
As a former BB girl who “earned” this game when it came out, I RAN TO THIS VIDEO because I needed a laugh on this fine Monday 😂 the cringe is strong with that thing isn’t it 😂
Also this isn’t important but I feel like it’s valuable information. In 2015 when this was originally put out, the success club system was not as described in this video. That system wasn’t brought in until like 2018-2019. The original system, THIS “prize” was for “success club 5”, which required 3 challenge pack sales during the month and 90PV (shakeology) on auto ship going through. Again, this doesn’t matter in the grand scheme because it’s still a super lame gift for that much work (3 people is more than you think when you’re trying to sell) and was absolutely worth nothing in my eyes and the eyes of hundreds of other people I knew. Also note this isn’t the weirdest prize. I used to have an entire “collection” of bobble head dolls that were the various super trainers. Do with that information what you will 😂 I still laugh at it to this day. It’s a shame they got smashed in their box during my move 😂

"you can't get 99% of 35" I'm just shocked they were honest enough to say they only asked 35 people. I mean, if you're going to lie, go big! Make it something with strong statistical power! Add a couple zeros to the end of that 35. Hell, make it 4! Go all in! 😂
A young woman I know joined an MLM. She has been posting all over social media, " it's funny that your friends have money for a new Stanley, but not your business." Now, I know this shaming is a part of their training scripts.
"If you're buying starbucks, you can afford my MLM products!" Like let's not even get into the whole "you don't know their financial status" deal, all that needs to be said is "Just because I might be able to afford something.... doesn't mean I want it buy it, bestie😘"
That Plexis video REALLY looks like it was filmed in the Salt Lake Airport. If so, then that Starbucks is the only food within literally half a mile. So yeah, if people need food, that's the easiest/only choice. And, even if they can afford Starbucks, it doesn't mean they want your nasty pink powder, Brittney
Your statistical observation about that fictitious 99% was *chef’s kiss.* And Monat selling out of makeup that is solely available to distributors?! HAHAHAHA! I am giddy with delight.
I vote for recycling the beachbody-opoly game. I definitely think the concepts inside could be bad for a child or teen if they bought it for cheep at a thrift store to play with friends. Eating disorders don't get treated as serious problems until they're life-threatening (in my experience) anyways, we don't need to encourage more kids to start
Yes! I can't even see how anybody would enjoy playing it. It's so cringy. Cardboard recycling is a good place. And I totally agree on EDs. They are more lethal than almost any other mental health disorder. Yet when I was on a course on mental health first aid, we didn't talk one word about EDs. On the other hand the instructor used dieting as a relatable/funny example. Just tells how EDs aren't considered problems, while disordered eating is almost a standard and EDs are common.
I would upcycle the BBpoly to an anti-mlm version and do it in a livestream with the suggestions of the viewers. Afterwards auction it off (like people can buy entry tickets for 1$) and then donate all the money. I think this will make the most out of it.
Re: “study” percentages. Absolutely picturing a couple of corporate huns gathering 35 (a PITIFULLY tiny cohort) of their downline reps in a room, handing out these products, and saying, “See? It has a non-tacky feel, right? You love it? How about this? Nice, right?” And general nods of assent all around. Thus completes the “study,” which barely even qualifies as a focus group.
I work for a high-end salon hair care brand, and anytime we have a new product launching, everyone who works for the company gets one for free so that they can try it and know how to talk about it to customers. I cannot imagine if they made us buy something so that we could talk about it. That’s insane.
The lady talking about "if you can afford Starbucks, you can afford my MLM crap" bothered me so much! Only MLM huns think they are actually entitled to other people's money (and/or info about someone's financial situation). So cringe, I can't even believe it.
IF you decide to donate it with a note in it, GLUE the note to the inside of the box cover. That makes sure it doesn't get lost when passed on to other persons after use. Otherwise, it might quickly get laid aside and forget being put back in or it might be overlooked as "some meaningless flyer".
I was going to say laminate and super glue it to the underside of the lid so no hun tosses it even if they don't buy it but personally I would just keep it for the laugh factor
My mother in law just became a pampered chef rep and is complaining about how much work it is and wants me to host a virtual party. Obviously I refuse but I went to find an income disclosure statement out of curiosity and there isn’t one. She also told me last year while I was pregnant when she was having a pampered chef party, not as a rep yet, that I should do pampered chef because “it’s good for stay at home moms”. To which I told her that pampered chef is sketchy, just like Mary Kay is sketchy. Her argument was that it’s been around for a long time and I told her that doesn’t mean it can’t be sketchy.
@@tiffanyh1274 yup! As someone who tried to make it in multiple MLMs, I know that they don’t work and made my husband promise that if I ever try to join another for whatever reason, that he doesn’t let me.
@@maddiebeeles9363 when you were in one, was there something anyone said that made you rethink being in one? What would someone have said to persuade you out of one back then do you think?
I can "believe" the results of the Monat makeup "studies" to be "accurate"... when I consider that the 30-40 people they're using as product testers/"study participants" are likely their top ranking reps. Of COURSE the results are going to be overwhelmingly positive, because the people giving feedback have just as much to gain from "liking" the products as the people doing the "study."
Airport Plexus Lady is probably so deeply conditioned to having her own boundaries trampled that she can't conceive of anyone else having any, themselves.
"2 million in sales in less than 24 hours and only available to market partners" I would love to see the side by side of how much they sell to only customers in 24 hours once the makeup is available to everyone. Idk how she thinks that statistic is something to be proud of 😂
Oh no 😅 I've been there. Make sure to take pictures so that one day you can look at that and smile at the craziness of it all 😊❤ I hope you have a good rest of your day.
Ethanol is your friend. Not to drink! lol. Sharpie is soluble in ethanol. 😊 [edit: use disinfectant-strength ethanol on the sharpie. Then pour a glass of the wine kind for yourself, too, lol.]
Seconding the recommendation for ethanol to remove Sharpie from hard surfaces! Rubbing/isopropyl alcohol will also work, and hand sanitizer can be used in a pinch. I use 95% ethanol to cleanup my frequent mislabeling in the lab all the time, and it works like a charm.
As someone who did the Optavia starvation diet for three years, one year and then a couple of years later, two more consecutive years, I am THRILLED about your announcement about Optavia searches having warnings on TikTok!!! Doing the Optavia plan, ruined my already struggling metabolism and caused me to suffer from physical and mental health issues for 18 months. Thank you Hannah. The Beach Body Monopoly game unboxing was super cringe and hilarious. Also, having been a Plexus Ambassador myself, it costs FAR more than an occasional Starbucks coffee to use their products. Back when I was just a customer, you are heavily encouraged to sign up for their auto-ship program. I think this was 8, maybe 9 years ago, just a bag of the Pink drink packets was somehwere around $60-70 a month.
So, maybe if you drank Starbucks consistently 3 times a week? But that is a big leap of logic to assume that of everyone who walked into that Starbucks at that moment.
Oh. My. God. That monopoly BB game... I'm trying so hard not to cackle at my work desk! I have to admit, I'd love to see you like you, Chelsea, Deanna, and Brianna play this as a gag for a charity fundraiser or something. Thank you for sharing that, Hannah. That was hilarious. Your videos always put a smile on my face! Thank you!
I don’t typically drink Starbucks, but an overpriced Starbucks at the airport just hits a different so let us drink our overpriced coffee in peace plexus lady 🙄
Same. I dont even drink starbucks (anymore), but the jacked up priced starbucks at the local casino resort located in the middle of rice field is a treat that hits different alright 😂
Instead of throwing it out, I'd suggest archiving it in some way? Mostly because these things serve as physical proof of what these companies do and learning tools as you've used in this video. I'm sure an 'anti-mlm' museum is out of the cards but the librarian/archivist in me thinks there may be value to holding on to things like this.
Good point. It’s already vintage in that it’s called beach-body-opoly and not bodi-opoly, so it could help remind future people that it started out with such a problematic name.
@@lulahbelle970 In a fashion yes, but far from in a complete way. It was used here in service of particular lessons and talking points, which is good and important, but not only is this limited in its archival of the object but there is no guarantee that two weeks from now this video will be up. Digital archival is notoriously quick to change and youtube as a platform isn't really dedicated to preservation. That is why I made my suggestion for a more formalized archival of the object in one respect or another.
Ugh, I'm so disappointed in what BeachBody has become. I bought the P90 series years ago (so long ago that they were on VHS tapes) and they were a normal company - send your check, get your tapes. Seeing them turn into an MLM cult is such a shame.
I think Beachbody is going to work against their MLM strategy. My husband and I have a 1 year sub. We did it through the website, and not a rep. So I'm not sure how the reps will stay alive.
I love the idea of you keeping a select few items of the game for the memories and then recycling the rest. The fewer of the propaganda items no longer out there in the world is awesome. It seems like the most responsible thing to do.
I am super broke. Today I treated myself to Starbucks because I had to pick up my dogs ashes and it was nice to have something to look forward to afterwards. I didn’t want to go straight home and cry, and my boyfriend was with me to make a little trip out of it. I’m sure anyone who was at that Starbucks could have said what that MLM lady did so thank you for saying that!! So crazy you posted this the same day because if that woman had filmed us and said those things I would have went ballistic 😂
I know that I'm a few months late on this, but thanks for sharing this story! As someone who used to work at Starbucks, I'd see a lot of people in similar situations/situation where they were really going through it and needed a pick me up. It's not that uncommon, and I can totally see these people in line there being there for similar reasons!
Wow Hannah, you really went above and beyond in ethically getting that board game💐 (i am trying to say this genuinely; sorry if in text it sounds sarcastic 🙏)
Did you notice that the images saying 100% liked the product only had a consumer group of 34 women, not 35 like on the blush image? I wonder if they just cut out the one person who didn't like the other products so they could put 100% on the images...
omg same with the camera stagefright! I always have people come to me and say "I could never do what you do I'm too camera shy" and I'm like GIRL ME TOO
I feel like you should send the monopoly game to other anti-mlm channels. Make it like a thing you guys share and kinda rotate around or give to each other as like a white elephant joke or something 😂😂
In my humble opinion (as someone who frequently gets new games from thrift stores) I don't bother getting opened ones, because there's no guarantee of all the pieces being there. So I'm not sure if donating it would do as much harm as people think, because most people getting games from Goodwill or other thrifting stores don't get opened ones. Meaning now that its been opened people are less likely to take it home. However if you DO want to donate it again I will say binding it up with a BUNCH of rubber bands, and putting a "THIS IS AN MLM HERE IS THE EXPLANATION ND SOME RESOURCES AS TO WHY THIS IS A BAD BUSINESS" card inside is the best way to minimize the potential harm of some unsuspecting mom grabbing this for her kiddos unawares and then get the idea of "Hmmm shakeology huh?" Amazing video as always Hannah, and I hope you and your family have the wonderful day that you deserves ^^ (Your kitties are included in the family~ Pet them bunches for me!)
It's a lot better to spend a little money on something you enjoy than to spend a lot of money on a scam that you'll work yourself to the bone for and gain little.
I absolutely LOVE that you make sure that when you consume a MLM product in anyway, that you do not benefit the company, or a current seller, in anyway. Absolute perfection. I have no problem hearing it everytime. Every bit of that info is super necessary! ❤❤
In the UK, there is an industry body named the British Polling Council that ever major polling organisation is a member of. The BPC requires that when you publish a political opinion poll, you need to disclose your methodology, who sponsored the poll, your exact question wording, and a detailed breakdown of responses. I think it would be fantastic if market research polls were held to those same standards; it would certainly help explain how they got 99% of 35 people.
Hannah! You making it seriously hard for me to put makeup on right now, cause of the way i’m laughing at the second video. 2 million in sales only to the reps. The way they think it’s such a flex, while it’s actually a HUGE way of exposing the company. She is so so close to seing it herself. The information is right in front of them, but the block in their brain makes them completely oblivious to it. It is truly fascinating.. and scary.
As a monopoly collector - I can say this is the perfect game. The aim is for one person to get the monopoly of all the money by making everyone else bankrupt. Also, in the proper game, once you have bought all your properties you are best hiding in jail (being a coach potatoe) to avoid paying rent but collecting it! 😂😂
Stop I’m sitting here at working literally thinking how much it sucks that I’m out of Hannah Alonzo vids to stream while I work and then I refreshed my UA-cam feed and there she is!! She read my mind yes she did!! ❤❤❤
My husband got sucked into BB for a while. The shakeology made him smell like he was rotting from the inside out. The team dynamics were so unhealthy. Yeah he was thinner but was really unhappy and it nearly cost us our marriage. Now he doesn’t use shakeology, he doesn’t work out 3 times a day, eats more than chicken broccoli with rice, and is a much happier person.
Also also! (Can you tell I’m commenting as I watch? 😅) I think you earned that -opoly board, and I love how you’re talking about the dangers of putting it out in the wild like it’s a haunted doll or something. 😂😂😂 Keep it, and seal it in a glass case so the demons can’t escape!
The pampered chef girl is the literal definition of irony. Wow!!! How is she not hearing what she's saying and realizing that she's a part of the whole scheme?
The Pampered Chef lady's pitch -- I did catch a (subtle) red flag in the first half. She sets up a false dichotomy wherein either someone is hiding the company/being shady, OR they openly say what their company is and therefore there's zero shady or unethical behavior! Ignoring of course that though the name is presented, there are still a thousand ways to be unethical. I also enjoyed the crazy game unboxing! And I agree that the best choice may be to trash/recycle it. Great video again!
Hannah. This has nothing to do with this incredible video! But on the off chance you see this comment- you mentioned using Moroccan Oil in your hair like six months ago and it has miraculously solved all my hair problems. Thank you for the recommendation but obviously also for ALL your videos and your hard work for the cause!! ❤❤❤
I remember that comment… in fact I think Hannah shared her affiliate link. I now have long hair and I really want to try it… and now that you mentioned it, I _really_ want to try it.
Ahhhh Moroccan Oil 😭 my number one favorite beauty product of all time haha I think I’ve gone through at least 20 bottles at this point (not an exaggeration)
From what my Monat friends said is that “ monations only sold it at the conference Saturday, then the monat reps were able to buy online the next day only” for a discounted price. Soooo true on how they highlighted that the reps are the ones buying the products.
Thank you so much Hannah. I woke up this morning to realize I was out of my adhd meds, and your soothing voice is really helping me deal with the neurospicy struggle that has been my Monday.
Last time I was at Starbucks was at a train station alone after my grandma's funeral and I needed to cheer myself up between floods of emotions. That woman was disgusting for filming strangers like this and judging them. Gross behavior
You should livestream playing this mess with other anti-MLM youtubers! You'd have to move all their pieces on the board for them yourself since you have this ridiculous game at home and other players will be virtual, but I really think it would be a riot!
Honestly very on-brand that one person has to move the other players around and (literally) manipulate their characters. She can be their honorary upline for a day lol
Me, a couch potato, currently sitting on my couch and cross stitching after a long day of work, laughing at how bad the board game is. 😂 Also. Most people budget when they go out. So yeah, they have money because they've likely made room in their budget to do so. Goodness, what a disgusting person.
Lol I do my beachbody workout for 30m and then I'm a couch potato for the rest of the day. That means 2.08% of my day is workout out, and 97.92% is couch potato. 😁🤣😅😆
My household is not doing well financially. At all. We feel the recession for sure. But I still treat myself to coffee once a week because I budget for it and it gives me something to look forward to after a long work week. It also makes all the other sacrifices we make seem less dramatic because I still get a little something to indulge in regularly. So if anything my little $6 coffee a week saves me money overall. 🤷🏼♀️
It'd be awesome if you and some anti mlm creators got together to play the game before trashing it. Maybe for a fundraiser or something, that would be so fun!
I only treat myself to Starbucks when I'm traveling. I'm not buying $8 drinks every day or even every month. Mind your business hun and stop assigning intent to every mark you see.
Oh my gosh yes! I was FLOORED by how expensive they've gotten. They've always been but when I was read the total of $8 before doing a dairy alternative, I said "I can't do that." And left
I literally live across the world from my home country and whenever I fly there (which is not often), the cheaper options take about 24 hours all in all. You bet I’m getting an expensive Starbucks drink if I want to during one of the multiple layovers 😂 plus, being vegetarian and lactose intolerant, sometimes Starbucks is the only place that has milk alternatives like soy or oat (where I live it’s also one of the few widely available stores to have plant-based food). Not that I care what a hun thinks but just adding to the idea that maybe people are living their own life different from hers, I know, shocking
I'd hold onto it for the sake of preservation. I'm not sure where would want to keep ahold of it, but I'd hate for it to become 'lost' content. It's important to immortalise these things so that Beachbody can't sweep it under the rug.
OMG Hannah, legit just had a BeachBody Hun video pop up as an ad, so funny that they are paying you for that lol. I even did a screen shot with your title in it, so funny!
maybe for the monopoly game keep it for now to play with other anti-MLM creators if you do any in-person collabs? could be a fun live stream or edited video popping up examples of huns doing what’s on the cards
I sold Monat for a couple months like 3 years ago. There is a TON of peer pressure during the weekly video chats with your team to purchase Monat products. And they literally call you out in front of everyone if you don't, but in a really sugary sweet way which is worse. I realized I was putting out soooo much money and making nothing.
This was fun! I love the update about Optavia being given the boot off platform. I still vote you just throw the game away. Keep what you want out of it and just put the rest in the trash. It’s likely it can’t just be recycled due to all the different materials used to make it☹️
Re: percentages- I have found that a lot of people in general struggle to comprehend percentages. From what I remember of my school years, percentages aren't taught until middle school (if they're taught at all). And further stats education is even more ambiguous.
Hannah! You're looking GORGEOUS in this video, your hair is AMAZING! You always look lovely, but you seem especially radiant, if that makes any sense. I hope you're doing good, thank you for another fun top fails video!
It's pretty neat to watch your very thoughtful process on ethical consumption and disposal, I am not there personally but that is certainly something to work towards.
Two things : first, I agree on the stage fright! I just finished my virtual speech class for college and 2 of my presentations my husband was home and I made him do his gym time at the time I had to present/begged him to play with the dog outside because I was 10x more nervous with him there. Second, if someone was filming me at Starbucks I would hope that I would have the confidence to speak up that I did not consent to being filmed.
I would auction it to followers for charity or something. Or I would keep it and display it in the background as an ironic joke. It'd be a funny collection of mlm merch from thrift stores. I find alot of Avon stuff.
They don't worry about people reading the tiny fine print because most people honestly don't. As someone who has worked in retail for 9 years, I can guarantee most people aren't looking past the giant 99%.
Omg I'm taking that stupid Plexux Tiktok personally. The last three or four times I've been in an airport I bought Starbucks coffee because even though they were international airports Starbucks was the only place I could find that offered oat milk (or any plant milk). I prefer the taste of oat milk but I would also like to make it trough my 8 hour flight without freaking Diarrhoea 😂😂😂
lol keep the whole beachbodyopoly box in it’s entirety- stick it in a corner of shame in your studio space and whip it out for the occasional joke. Maybe do a collab with CC Saurez and other anti-mlm content creators where y’all actually play it and turn it into a partly-educational, partly-snarky vid. Whatever you do with it, thanks for the hearty laugh😂
Thank you for looking deep into it and making sure your money doesn't go to an MLM or they reps before you bought the Beachbodyopoly. And did the full explanation and disclaimer that made me feel better
OMG THEY COULD BE THE TRAVELING BOARD GAME OF THE ANTI-MLM-OSPHERE!! Or…Anti-mlm content creators come together and play it 😂 Omg you, CC, Isabella, Dena, Kiki, Erin and have it be a fundraiser video of sorts (idk what one would be most helpful for mlm Huns getting out of mlm) Anyyyywaysss I’ll hush now

Omg right, that's an eye infection or dermatitis waiting to happen.
So we'll see those huns sporting fancy sunglasses soon just like that statement hats? 😂
"Hey Hun, do you want your face to melt off with this new makeup as well as the shampoo that makes you bald"
Getting rid of the body-board is more complex than getting rid of a demon possessed ouija board.
IF you decide to donate it with a note in it, GLUE the note to the inside of the box cover. That makes sure it doesn't get lost when passed on to other persons after use. Otherwise, it might quickly get laid aside and forget being put back in or it might be overlooked as "some meaningless flyer".
I was going to say laminate and super glue it to the underside of the lid so no hun tosses it even if they don't buy it but personally I would just keep it for the laugh factor
I wouldn’t donate it. She’s keeping the pieces! 😂
My mother in law just became a pampered chef rep and is complaining about how much work it is and wants me to host a virtual party. Obviously I refuse but I went to find an income disclosure statement out of curiosity and there isn’t one. She also told me last year while I was pregnant when she was having a pampered chef party, not as a rep yet, that I should do pampered chef because “it’s good for stay at home moms”. To which I told her that pampered chef is sketchy, just like Mary Kay is sketchy. Her argument was that it’s been around for a long time and I told her that doesn’t mean it can’t be sketchy.
I’ve tried to talk to people about it too. Some are hell bent on getting scammed. Been there. 😅 Can’t say you didn’t try though.
mary kay has been around a long time too and it’s still shady af 🧐
@@purrmanum literally!! She also was a Young Living rep for a while but didn’t “work the business” if that tells you anything
@@tiffanyh1274 yup! As someone who tried to make it in multiple MLMs, I know that they don’t work and made my husband promise that if I ever try to join another for whatever reason, that he doesn’t let me.
@@maddiebeeles9363 when you were in one, was there something anyone said that made you rethink being in one? What would someone have said to persuade you out of one back then do you think?
Who wants a Hannah Alonzo/Deanna Mims collab video where they _play_ BeachBodyOpoly? I know _I_ do!!!
OMG YES
Yes please!! Even add Savannah
Brianna Jewel too! Lol
i so agree lol this would make a fun video or a live stream!!!!
Yes!!!
I can "believe" the results of the Monat makeup "studies" to be "accurate"... when I consider that the 30-40 people they're using as product testers/"study participants" are likely their top ranking reps. Of COURSE the results are going to be overwhelmingly positive, because the people giving feedback have just as much to gain from "liking" the products as the people doing the "study."
I was thinking that as well! Who are these 35 consumers?
Probably the higher ups who are leading the mlm are those customers. Eeek
In that case (which I completely believe) its ridiculous that they couldn't even get to 100%...
@@jacquelineepstein4214 I wonder if they did that to try to make it look realistic.
Why not 100%? Who said no???? 😂😂
Airport Plexus Lady is probably so deeply conditioned to having her own boundaries trampled that she can't conceive of anyone else having any, themselves.
That is an excellent point!
💯❗️🎯
"2 million in sales in less than 24 hours and only available to market partners"
I would love to see the side by side of how much they sell to only customers in 24 hours once the makeup is available to everyone. Idk how she thinks that statistic is something to be proud of 😂
I need this right now. My toddler just colored an entire day's cleaning worth of sharpie on the walls and floor. Thanks for coming in clutch Hannah
Oh no 😅 I've been there. Make sure to take pictures so that one day you can look at that and smile at the craziness of it all 😊❤ I hope you have a good rest of your day.
If it’s a wipeable surface go over it with whiteboard pen, makes it come off super easy!
Ethanol is your friend. Not to drink! lol. Sharpie is soluble in ethanol. 😊 [edit: use disinfectant-strength ethanol on the sharpie. Then pour a glass of the wine kind for yourself, too, lol.]
Seconding the recommendation for ethanol to remove Sharpie from hard surfaces! Rubbing/isopropyl alcohol will also work, and hand sanitizer can be used in a pinch. I use 95% ethanol to cleanup my frequent mislabeling in the lab all the time, and it works like a charm.
Hand sanitizer works in a pinch!
As someone who has struggled with food/weight in the recent past, I am SO happy about that Optivia news.
As someone who did the Optavia starvation diet for three years, one year and then a couple of years later, two more consecutive years, I am THRILLED about your announcement about Optavia searches having warnings on TikTok!!! Doing the Optavia plan, ruined my already struggling metabolism and caused me to suffer from physical and mental health issues for 18 months.
Thank you Hannah.
The Beach Body Monopoly game unboxing was super cringe and hilarious.
Also, having been a Plexus Ambassador myself, it costs FAR more than an occasional Starbucks coffee to use their products. Back when I was just a customer, you are heavily encouraged to sign up for their auto-ship program. I think this was 8, maybe 9 years ago, just a bag of the Pink drink packets was somehwere around $60-70 a month.
So, maybe if you drank Starbucks consistently 3 times a week? But that is a big leap of logic to assume that of everyone who walked into that Starbucks at that moment.
Oh. My. God.
That monopoly BB game... I'm trying so hard not to cackle at my work desk!
I have to admit, I'd love to see you like you, Chelsea, Deanna, and Brianna play this as a gag for a charity fundraiser or something.
Thank you for sharing that, Hannah. That was hilarious. Your videos always put a smile on my face! Thank you!
I don’t typically drink Starbucks, but an overpriced Starbucks at the airport just hits a different so let us drink our overpriced coffee in peace plexus lady 🙄
Well where else are you going to drink coffee at an airport? It's not like you can bring your own travel mug full of your Kirkland coffee through TSA.
Same. I dont even drink starbucks (anymore), but the jacked up priced starbucks at the local casino resort located in the middle of rice field is a treat that hits different alright 😂
Instead of throwing it out, I'd suggest archiving it in some way? Mostly because these things serve as physical proof of what these companies do and learning tools as you've used in this video. I'm sure an 'anti-mlm' museum is out of the cards but the librarian/archivist in me thinks there may be value to holding on to things like this.
yeah some place might want it in a couple decades.
@@reidleblanc3140for the MLM graveyard! 😂
Good point. It’s already vintage in that it’s called beach-body-opoly and not bodi-opoly, so it could help remind future people that it started out with such a problematic name.
This video archives it...
@@lulahbelle970 In a fashion yes, but far from in a complete way. It was used here in service of particular lessons and talking points, which is good and important, but not only is this limited in its archival of the object but there is no guarantee that two weeks from now this video will be up. Digital archival is notoriously quick to change and youtube as a platform isn't really dedicated to preservation. That is why I made my suggestion for a more formalized archival of the object in one respect or another.
Ugh, I'm so disappointed in what BeachBody has become. I bought the P90 series years ago (so long ago that they were on VHS tapes) and they were a normal company - send your check, get your tapes. Seeing them turn into an MLM cult is such a shame.
I think Beachbody is going to work against their MLM strategy. My husband and I have a 1 year sub. We did it through the website, and not a rep. So I'm not sure how the reps will stay alive.
That last person is like 'the problem with other mlms is that I'm not a part of them.'
I love the idea of you keeping a select few items of the game for the memories and then recycling the rest. The fewer of the propaganda items no longer out there in the world is awesome.
It seems like the most responsible thing to do.
Right specially because if she donates it another person can buy it just to put it back into the market again
I am super broke. Today I treated myself to Starbucks because I had to pick up my dogs ashes and it was nice to have something to look forward to afterwards. I didn’t want to go straight home and cry, and my boyfriend was with me to make a little trip out of it. I’m sure anyone who was at that Starbucks could have said what that MLM lady did so thank you for saying that!! So crazy you posted this the same day because if that woman had filmed us and said those things I would have went ballistic 😂
I know that I'm a few months late on this, but thanks for sharing this story! As someone who used to work at Starbucks, I'd see a lot of people in similar situations/situation where they were really going through it and needed a pick me up. It's not that uncommon, and I can totally see these people in line there being there for similar reasons!
”I’m not like other huns, I’m a cool hun”
“Put the trash where the trash belongs”-sounds good to me Hannah! 😊
Wow Hannah, you really went above and beyond in ethically getting that board game💐 (i am trying to say this genuinely; sorry if in text it sounds sarcastic 🙏)
Keep the game intact! It will be a historical document some day.
Did you notice that the images saying 100% liked the product only had a consumer group of 34 women, not 35 like on the blush image? I wonder if they just cut out the one person who didn't like the other products so they could put 100% on the images...
omg same with the camera stagefright! I always have people come to me and say "I could never do what you do I'm too camera shy" and I'm like GIRL ME TOO
I feel like you should send the monopoly game to other anti-mlm channels. Make it like a thing you guys share and kinda rotate around or give to each other as like a white elephant joke or something 😂😂
Sisterhood of the traveling BeachBody-Opoly. 😂
In my humble opinion (as someone who frequently gets new games from thrift stores) I don't bother getting opened ones, because there's no guarantee of all the pieces being there. So I'm not sure if donating it would do as much harm as people think, because most people getting games from Goodwill or other thrifting stores don't get opened ones. Meaning now that its been opened people are less likely to take it home. However if you DO want to donate it again I will say binding it up with a BUNCH of rubber bands, and putting a "THIS IS AN MLM HERE IS THE EXPLANATION ND SOME RESOURCES AS TO WHY THIS IS A BAD BUSINESS" card inside is the best way to minimize the potential harm of some unsuspecting mom grabbing this for her kiddos unawares and then get the idea of "Hmmm shakeology huh?" Amazing video as always Hannah, and I hope you and your family have the wonderful day that you deserves ^^ (Your kitties are included in the family~ Pet them bunches for me!)
Top fail 2- Legitimate companies GIVE their reps samples to try, for themselves and for their customers.
The lack of self recognition is amazing with the pampered chef. If that isn't the epitome of the meme you showed, idk what is. Great video, as always.
It's a lot better to spend a little money on something you enjoy than to spend a lot of money on a scam that you'll work yourself to the bone for and gain little.
I absolutely LOVE that you make sure that when you consume a MLM product in anyway, that you do not benefit the company, or a current seller, in anyway.
Absolute perfection. I have no problem hearing it everytime. Every bit of that info is super necessary! ❤❤
BeachBody-opoly is a literal MLM blueprint. They laid it all out on the table. Literally. Unbelievable.
Who else absolutely loves Hannah ?? This I a great video.. girl you are rocking it…
In the UK, there is an industry body named the British Polling Council that ever major polling organisation is a member of. The BPC requires that when you publish a political opinion poll, you need to disclose your methodology, who sponsored the poll, your exact question wording, and a detailed breakdown of responses.
I think it would be fantastic if market research polls were held to those same standards; it would certainly help explain how they got 99% of 35 people.
Hannah! You making it seriously hard for me to put makeup on right now, cause of the way i’m laughing at the second video. 2 million in sales only to the reps. The way they think it’s such a flex, while it’s actually a HUGE way of exposing the company. She is so so close to seing it herself. The information is right in front of them, but the block in their brain makes them completely oblivious to it. It is truly fascinating.. and scary.
The tiktok Optavia thing is huge!! I can imagine they're so annoyed too, so that's a plus 😂
As a monopoly collector - I can say this is the perfect game. The aim is for one person to get the monopoly of all the money by making everyone else bankrupt. Also, in the proper game, once you have bought all your properties you are best hiding in jail (being a coach potatoe) to avoid paying rent but collecting it! 😂😂
Haha, a little foreshadowing?
Stop I’m sitting here at working literally thinking how much it sucks that I’m out of Hannah Alonzo vids to stream while I work and then I refreshed my UA-cam feed and there she is!! She read my mind yes she did!! ❤❤❤
My husband got sucked into BB for a while. The shakeology made him smell like he was rotting from the inside out. The team dynamics were so unhealthy. Yeah he was thinner but was really unhappy and it nearly cost us our marriage. Now he doesn’t use shakeology, he doesn’t work out 3 times a day, eats more than chicken broccoli with rice, and is a much happier person.
Also also! (Can you tell I’m commenting as I watch? 😅) I think you earned that -opoly board, and I love how you’re talking about the dangers of putting it out in the wild like it’s a haunted doll or something. 😂😂😂 Keep it, and seal it in a glass case so the demons can’t escape!
The pampered chef girl is the literal definition of irony. Wow!!! How is she not hearing what she's saying and realizing that she's a part of the whole scheme?
The Pampered Chef lady's pitch -- I did catch a (subtle) red flag in the first half. She sets up a false dichotomy wherein either someone is hiding the company/being shady, OR they openly say what their company is and therefore there's zero shady or unethical behavior! Ignoring of course that though the name is presented, there are still a thousand ways to be unethical.
I also enjoyed the crazy game unboxing! And I agree that the best choice may be to trash/recycle it. Great video again!
Hannah. This has nothing to do with this incredible video! But on the off chance you see this comment- you mentioned using Moroccan Oil in your hair like six months ago and it has miraculously solved all my hair problems. Thank you for the recommendation but obviously also for ALL your videos and your hard work for the cause!! ❤❤❤
I remember that comment… in fact I think Hannah shared her affiliate link. I now have long hair and I really want to try it… and now that you mentioned it, I _really_ want to try it.
Ahhhh Moroccan Oil 😭 my number one favorite beauty product of all time haha I think I’ve gone through at least 20 bottles at this point (not an exaggeration)
And it smells AHHHMAZING
From what my Monat friends said is that “ monations only sold it at the conference Saturday, then the monat reps were able to buy online the next day only” for a discounted price. Soooo true on how they highlighted that the reps are the ones buying the products.
Make it into a super creative anti-mlm monopoly game!! Break out the paint, create new challenges, and keep it for yourself 😊
I love monopoly, and I love collecting the different sets, and I really want to add beachbody to my collection
Same here 😂
Me too!
Thank you so much Hannah. I woke up this morning to realize I was out of my adhd meds, and your soothing voice is really helping me deal with the neurospicy struggle that has been my Monday.
(if you managed to forget to refill your rx so many times that you ran out, you... might need a different rx...)
@@reidleblanc3140there is an adhd medicine shortage.
Last time I was at Starbucks was at a train station alone after my grandma's funeral and I needed to cheer myself up between floods of emotions. That woman was disgusting for filming strangers like this and judging them. Gross behavior
You should livestream playing this mess with other anti-MLM youtubers! You'd have to move all their pieces on the board for them yourself since you have this ridiculous game at home and other players will be virtual, but I really think it would be a riot!
Honestly very on-brand that one person has to move the other players around and (literally) manipulate their characters. She can be their honorary upline for a day lol
Me, a couch potato, currently sitting on my couch and cross stitching after a long day of work, laughing at how bad the board game is. 😂
Also. Most people budget when they go out. So yeah, they have money because they've likely made room in their budget to do so. Goodness, what a disgusting person.
I’m a happy couch potato !!
Lol I do my beachbody workout for 30m and then I'm a couch potato for the rest of the day. That means 2.08% of my day is workout out, and 97.92% is couch potato. 😁🤣😅😆
Couch potato here! I have a couch, a plaid, a purring cat and Hannah's video; I'm a very happy couch potato.
My household is not doing well financially. At all. We feel the recession for sure. But I still treat myself to coffee once a week because I budget for it and it gives me something to look forward to after a long work week. It also makes all the other sacrifices we make seem less dramatic because I still get a little something to indulge in regularly. So if anything my little $6 coffee a week saves me money overall. 🤷🏼♀️
Hannah absolutely cackling at the beach body monopoly has made my day 10x better
It'd be awesome if you and some anti mlm creators got together to play the game before trashing it. Maybe for a fundraiser or something, that would be so fun!
Repurpose the board game to an anti-MLM game, or to a body positive game.
You are so educational and calming to listen to!! I’ve been trying not to consume as much true crime & you manage to keep my focus 😅🖤
Omg the "fast food tax!" WTF. That game is something else for sure! 🤣 that has to be a giant joke. I mean that company didn't take this seriously?!?
The maniacal cackle that came out of me when I saw the thumbnail…I cannot wait for this 🎉
I only treat myself to Starbucks when I'm traveling. I'm not buying $8 drinks every day or even every month. Mind your business hun and stop assigning intent to every mark you see.
yes or if i have a gift card.
Right it's like I cant bring liquids through security so I can't bring something from home and airplane coffee tastes like a bag of butts.
Oh my gosh yes! I was FLOORED by how expensive they've gotten. They've always been but when I was read the total of $8 before doing a dairy alternative, I said "I can't do that." And left
I literally live across the world from my home country and whenever I fly there (which is not often), the cheaper options take about 24 hours all in all. You bet I’m getting an expensive Starbucks drink if I want to during one of the multiple layovers 😂 plus, being vegetarian and lactose intolerant, sometimes Starbucks is the only place that has milk alternatives like soy or oat (where I live it’s also one of the few widely available stores to have plant-based food). Not that I care what a hun thinks but just adding to the idea that maybe people are living their own life different from hers, I know, shocking
@@SjofnBM1989airplane coffee is a crime against humanity!
I'd hold onto it for the sake of preservation. I'm not sure where would want to keep ahold of it, but I'd hate for it to become 'lost' content. It's important to immortalise these things so that Beachbody can't sweep it under the rug.
OMG Hannah, legit just had a BeachBody Hun video pop up as an ad, so funny that they are paying you for that lol. I even did a screen shot with your title in it, so funny!
maybe for the monopoly game keep it for now to play with other anti-MLM creators if you do any in-person collabs? could be a fun live stream or edited video popping up examples of huns doing what’s on the cards
I sold Monat for a couple months like 3 years ago. There is a TON of peer pressure during the weekly video chats with your team to purchase Monat products. And they literally call you out in front of everyone if you don't, but in a really sugary sweet way which is worse. I realized I was putting out soooo much money and making nothing.
This was fun! I love the update about Optavia being given the boot off platform. I still vote you just throw the game away. Keep what you want out of it and just put the rest in the trash. It’s likely it can’t just be recycled due to all the different materials used to make it☹️
Re: percentages- I have found that a lot of people in general struggle to comprehend percentages. From what I remember of my school years, percentages aren't taught until middle school (if they're taught at all). And further stats education is even more ambiguous.
100%. I get the basic stuff, but I wasn't taught "proper statistics" until college (and TBH it was my worst class).
Hannah! You're looking GORGEOUS in this video, your hair is AMAZING! You always look lovely, but you seem especially radiant, if that makes any sense. I hope you're doing good, thank you for another fun top fails video!
It's pretty neat to watch your very thoughtful process on ethical consumption and disposal, I am not there personally but that is certainly something to work towards.
I just clicked on the video and I have to say, your hair looks amazing Hannah!!🥰🥰
Also, 2 million of overpriced cosmetics is not the same flex as 2 million of actual priced cosmetics.
Hannah, you may need to burn that Beach Body Game, it is more cursed than a Ouija board!!
Yes!!! FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and stream it XD
Two things : first, I agree on the stage fright! I just finished my virtual speech class for college and 2 of my presentations my husband was home and I made him do his gym time at the time I had to present/begged him to play with the dog outside because I was 10x more nervous with him there.
Second, if someone was filming me at Starbucks I would hope that I would have the confidence to speak up that I did not consent to being filmed.
Woohoo! Thanks for brightening my Monday :) can I just say… your hair looks amazing! Who knew you didn’t need Monat to have gorgeous hair 👀🤔❤️
That boardgame is truly one of the cultiest MLM “prizes” i’ve ever seen
I would auction it to followers for charity or something. Or I would keep it and display it in the background as an ironic joke. It'd be a funny collection of mlm merch from thrift stores. I find alot of Avon stuff.
They don't worry about people reading the tiny fine print because most people honestly don't. As someone who has worked in retail for 9 years, I can guarantee most people aren't looking past the giant 99%.
Omg I'm taking that stupid Plexux Tiktok personally. The last three or four times I've been in an airport I bought Starbucks coffee because even though they were international airports Starbucks was the only place I could find that offered oat milk (or any plant milk). I prefer the taste of oat milk but I would also like to make it trough my 8 hour flight without freaking Diarrhoea 😂😂😂
One would think that a gut health hun would consider things like that, but alas, here we are.
Your content just keeps getting better and better! Loved this one.
lol keep the whole beachbodyopoly box in it’s entirety- stick it in a corner of shame in your studio space and whip it out for the occasional joke. Maybe do a collab with CC Saurez and other anti-mlm content creators where y’all actually play it and turn it into a partly-educational, partly-snarky vid. Whatever you do with it, thanks for the hearty laugh😂
Thank you for looking deep into it and making sure your money doesn't go to an MLM or they reps before you bought the Beachbodyopoly. And did the full explanation and disclaimer that made me feel better
You bought a ticket to the event… LOSE YOUR BANK
I love that you're talking about Beachbodyopoly like it's Jumanji.
Oooo love the updated Fair Use Disclaimer! So fancy 🔥
Thank you so much! Felt like it was time to switch it up!
I love how carefully you're trying to get rid of the game - kind of like Jumanji 😂😂
OMG THEY COULD BE THE TRAVELING BOARD GAME OF THE ANTI-MLM-OSPHERE!!
Or…Anti-mlm content creators come together and play it 😂
Omg you, CC, Isabella, Dena, Kiki, Erin and have it be a fundraiser video of sorts (idk what one would be most helpful for mlm Huns getting out of mlm)
Anyyyywaysss I’ll hush now
