Finding a date on Austen Alexander's channel involves holding a plank first. His San Diego dating competition has passed two million views and is the archive's busiest individual upload right now, during a week when he posted nothing new.

"20 Girls Fight for 3 US Marines" puts Jace Elder, Breckin Quance and Vaa Collins through a different kind of selection process. Austen mixes physical challenges with blindfolded discussions of pet peeves, gives the Marines coins to save contestants from elimination, then makes room for one-minute speed dates. The follow-through is unusually substantial for a dating challenge: a video call nine months later confirms that Breckin and Sarah are together.

Military fitness supplies the other main sources of momentum. "Can I Survive a Day with Navy SEALs?" features a SEAL-style challenge with Kaj Larsen, Jeff Gum and Mitch Aguiar, while "US Marine vs Royal Marine | Who's Fitter?!" tests its participants across six events. Both are older than the dating show, and both continue drawing thousands of views a day.

The subscriber count held steady over the week, while daily views are running moderately above Austen's usual level. Nearby in the fitness group, Nick Bare is having a notably busier-than-usual viewing day; The Fashion Jogger is below its typical daily pace. Austen's own week brought roughly 465,000 views without another obstacle course, endurance test or matchmaking session being added to the catalog.
