The third season began on March 31, 2015, where each leg is uploaded in different videos. It has a total of 56 marbles. 10 marbles were eliminated in the first leg, 9 marbles on the second leg, and so on. It has currently reached Leg 8. This season is not finished yet.
BFDI Mini-Season - "Marbles"[]
BFDI Mini-Season - "Marbles" is a "spin-off" of the usual Marble Race style, but the marbles are based on the appearance of the assets of the original 21 BFDI contestants.
Algicosathlon[]
Algicosathlon, a sequel to Algodecathlon, is a battle between 16 athletes of different colors. There are a total of 20 events. Athletes will get points depending on their rank of individual events. (Example: 1st +100, 2nd +70, etc.) After each event, the athletes will the fewest points will be eliminated. With every new event, earned points will be increased by 50% (i.e., 1st in event 1 = +100, 1st in event 2 = +150,... 1st in event 20 is + 221,684), this gives athletes a chance to catch up. In the final event, Purple is the winner.
BAGUETTE[]
B.A.G.U.E.T.T.E. (Battle Among Gelatins Using Expertise To Take Everything) is the first official BFDI/BFDIA Camp. The camp was announced on September 1, 2012, when it was announced that BFDIA was going to be monthly again. After a 3-year hiatus, it was officially cancelled and replaced by Ten Words of Wisdom.
Ten Words of Wisdom[]
Ten Words of Wisdom (TWOW) is a camp started on December 12, 2015, by Cary Huang. As BAGUETTE is confirmed to be canceled, this show is now its successor.
Contestants are given a writing prompt, which they must answer or conform to using exactly 10 words (or less). Unlike BAGUETTE, the time limit is very strict (as the competitors MUST answer in time), and the contestants in this camp are now Books instead of Gelatins.
This camp featured 491 players. In each "B" episode, at the end, the prompt will be revealed (for example, "What happened to the 31st of November?"). All players still in the game must answer to that prompt and send it to Cary. Later, an "A" episode would come out, and would show many screens displaying 10 submissions to the prompt. People would then vote on those 10 from highest to lowest. When the "B" episode comes out, the results are revealed, and the bottom 20% of players will be eliminated. This repeats until one player remains, who wins "wisdom".
After a 3-year hiatus, TWOW 24A was released on July 21, 2020. The final episode was released on December 21, 2022 and is now completed.[1] Those who participated and are alumni are referred to the term "TWOWer".[2]
Eleven Words of Wisdom[]
Eleven Words of Wisdom (EWOW) is the second season of Ten Words of Wisdom (TWOW).[3] This second season had many similarities, but also many differences. Instead of DMing Cary on YouTube, you would fill out a Google Form to join the game/answer the prompt. Another difference was that every contestant had 3 lives, and if you lose all three, then you are eliminated. You will lose a life if you do not submit to a prompt, or place in the bottom 49% of the contestants who submitted. However, you will gain a life if you place in the top 5% of the contestants who submitted.
This season had a whopping 16506 people sign up to play! However, another twist was that Carykh was also going to compete, as well as 100 AIs! Currently, the latest episode is EWOW 7A, and only 2,570 people remain.
Channels[]
Abacaba[]
Abacaba is a channel created by Cary mostly consisting of data visualization videos. He has another channel called Cube Roll, where it uploads Rubik's Cube related data visualization videos-.
Abacaba gained a shoutout at the end of "BFDI's Road to Half a Billion Views" by Tennis Ball (voice acted by Cary). The channel was discontinued in 2022 and its content format was merged with that of the main carykh channel.[4]
Humany[]
Humany is a channel where Cary mainly uploads rants and other non-animated videos. The name "Humany" is a reference to the common theme among BFDI characters where a "y" is placed at the end of an object's name.
The channel has a series that consists of him reacting to episodes of BFB, recording his lines for BFB episodes, showcasing plushies, and content that is unrelated to BFDI.
lazykh[]
lazykh is a channel Cary made for "lower quality" videos. The creation of the channel was announced on Cary's main channel, carykh, where Cary said that this channel is about his stories or what he thinks about an event. His goal is to be "as lazy as he can" so he can save time making videos and uploading those to YouTube “without any intervention” Cary also stated that "I will try not to use any editing software, like Vegas Pro, or Final Cut Pro”.
lazykh was first mentioned in a carykh video titled "I lost $20,000 because We are Number One" as "secret channel that starts with L". Cary announced the channel's retirement in May 2022,[5] though it was revived in December 2023.[6]
