The Countdown Begins

Hello YouTubers

I thought it appropriate to update you on the community given the anniversary just reached. Last week marked two months until the New Zealand YouTube Gathering, which is sure to be the gossip event of the year. That’s not to say that the past month has been drama free… Au contraire the past thirty days have been anything but dry in the world of NZ YouTube, so allow me to update you on the juiciest bits…

A double announcement in Gathering attendees hit last week with news that Irish YouTuber Stephen (3sixty5days) and English YouTuber Charlie (charlieskies) have decided to make the trip to New Zealand. Almost as soon as the dust settled from this announcement rumours began to fly about reasons for this trip. It is common knowledge that Patrick (patrickblog) has fallen deeply in like with Ireland’s Hottest TV Personality. Problem is Patick has a boyfriend, while Stephen and Charlie have made it clear they have feelings for each other. What other reason would Charlie have to come to NZ if not to keep an eye on his Irish boytoy? What remains to be seen is whether the Brit gets his boy back or Patrick feels the luck of the Irish.

More from the Gathering and it turns out Australian comic YouTuber Chris (chrisontv88) will no longer be attending, as was previously announced. Little is known about the reasons for his true change of heart, but I’m betting it has something to do with the rumoured ‘Australian Blacklist’ campaign the NZYT community has against Australian YouTubers ever since the Wellington Fiasco this past summer. I’m sure you can dig something more up, email me.

Self-proclaimed ‘Queen of NZYT’ Jess (jessums31) has allegedly had trouble organising sleeping arrangements for the visiting Tubers, with Denise (neechers), James (tehdancingkiwi), Corey (storycorey), Juno (junoluvsu), Simon (simonparasite) and Cameron (englishcameron) all staying over. Sounds like a slumber party I’d like to be at. Turns out James and Corey don’t like being lovers scorned by Patrick waving his new school-aged boyfriend in front of them. Something tells me there’s going to be a lot of avoidence going on when it comes to these three. As for Juno, things have changed since the last time she was in the city. I also have a feeling she will be avoiding Ben (bennysoup)’s house for the length of her trip. Word on the street is J got left outside alone when Ben flipped and bailed on the romance that was public knowledge. Bad form, BennySoup… you know how karma’s a bitch? We hear a Juno scorned can be too. Watch out.

In keeping with news from the Gathering it seems the wheels are in motion for what will prove to be a memorable day, and an even more memorable night in the NZYT world… Rumour has it that after party plans are already well in the works, with this guest list being exclusively a who’s who of the NZYT scene. Getting your name on this list would be like getting the YT Editor to feature a video you sent in, it just doesn’t happen. Plus, no event could come more packed with potential drama than this one. After everything that has come to light in this post, I’m sensing a late night battle royale for affections come July 11.

Finally we will get to see what happens when the cameras come down and the claws come out.

I can’t wait.

Trouble in YTland

Looks like I’ve relaunched just at the right time, because drama is rife in NZYTland.

FAK HACKED?

Let me start with the major story of the week, which I’m sure you are all aware of, and that is the FiveAwesomeKiwis situation. As we all know, the second generation of FAKers called it quits when they realised they couldn’t keep the momentum going that the first generation had achieved. The channel lay dormant for a couple months before a random one of some weird guy appeared. The rumours started flying. Next thing we know the channel relaunches for a third time with an all new cast.

Now obviously this new cast was just trying to leech subscribers off of FiveAwesomeKiwis, that much was obvious, but the real question is whether or not the channel was hacked, or one of the five second generation FAKers gave out the password?

I’ve had emails from most of the nine original FAKers about this situation and all of them claim they don’t know how the password out and most of them point the blame at the others. The most common accusations are at Patrick (Patrickblog), allegedly out of spite for his generation spanning failure at keeping the channel going; or Ben (BattleSoup) and Jayson (justanotherkiwi) out of spite of their new channel (KiwiCollision) not taking off.

Either way, the new cast of FAK barred all previous cast members from commenting, as well as a few other prominent YouTubers. This caused the original cast to freak out and report the channel to the YT powers that be, who promptly moved to suspend the account.

And thus ends a chapter in NZYT history, FAK is suspended and the community is torn apart by FiveFuckingKiwis who thought they piggy back on the success of others. Nice try though.

LEVI, A YOUTUBE MLUT?

Latest update on Levi (corporalcadet) and Dannie (ThatEnglishGirl111) is that recently Levi came down to Auckland and spent the night at Dannie’s house. Yes. Spent the night. Details are sketchy on what actually went on that night, but Twitter sleuthing tells me that Dannie claims that she “slipped” and fell on Levi while watching a movie. What part of him, I wonder? The situation has left Dannie confused after Levi claimed he was single when most on YouTube know quite well that he has a girlfriend in Kerikeri. Could this simply have been an Auckland booty call for NZ’s most popular YouTuber?

And now for the quick-fire round:

- Happy 17th birthday to Juno (junoluvsu) for yesterday.

-Happy 20th birthday to Chris (chrisontv88) for tomorrow.

-Simon (simonPARASITE) is rumoured to be having an online relationship with Shawna (Nanalew), and hopes to meet up with her at the Sydney AusOne Gathering.

-Ryan (TheNewZealandishBrit) has reached 100 subscribers after coming out of nowhere to becoming among the who’s who of NZYT.

-Tenani (nanisnap) was left out of the collaboration video for Juno’s birthday. Jealousy from Cameron (EnglishCameron), who organised it (and has a major crush on Juno)?

-Rache (wizardneedsfoodbadly) and Jess (jessums31) are falling deeply in love with Josh (skishua). Now that Levi-Dannie-Tenani has fizzled out, could we have a new YT love triangle on the horizon?

-Lauren (VivaLaLauren) has a strange obsession with New Zealand and New Zealanders. Apparently she stays up until unnatural hours just to talk to our NZYTers… strange.

This just in!

Apparently a sex tape exists featuring Patrick. NZYTGossip is currently negotiating with the seller for exclusive access to this tape but so far all we’ve recieved is this supposidly “scandalous” picture. But to us it doesn’t really show anything more than an average Patrickblog vlog.

Circus love, threesomes and collab reality shows?

Morning all. Here’s the latest little roundup from around NZYT. This one’s pretty long…

Last week Dannie (ThatEnglishGirl111), Tenani (nanisnap) and Rache (wizardneedsfoodbadly) went to the circus together. Jess (Jessums31) and Lewis (lewisbostock) were also invited but both declined. Could there be a new spark in their IRL relationship. A couple months ago I said that they have been meeting up IRL but that seemed to have stopped, perhaps they’re at it again.

Following on from that, Levi (corporalcadet) does not seem to be happy at all about Tenani and Dannie going on dates. An anonymous source tells me that he had come to the conclusion that the stalemate that he and Tenani had going was pointless, and so had decided to engage in some threesome action. You know what they say; if you can’t beat em, join em. First Lady of NZYT Dannie seems to be down for whatever. Do we finally have an end to the TDL saga?

Joe (TheJoeFrom1993) has been having a video flame-off with his new arch nemisis Alex (AlexTheOwl). Joe asked for people to post hate videos as a joke, but Alex exploded on camera for real. The action came to a climax when they had a filmed Skype conversation where Alex (15 years old) stripped down until he was naked, holding his goods on camera. YouTube didn’t like a naked 15 year old one bit and promptly took the video down.

Despite this Alex’s subscriber count is skyrocketing on the back of Joe’s fame. GG thinks there may be more to this relationship then first meets the eye…

A truckload of new NZYTers have recently come to my attention, with the virtual explosion of involvement from one TheNewZealandishBrit. He has been everywhere on YouTube lately, it’s been quite hard to miss him. Apparently he will be making videos soon too. Do we think he’ll be more like a new Patrickblog or a new TheJoeFrom1993? Another new YTer is EnglishCameron, who has also recently started making videos.

I have to say I quite like his videos, they are a nice harp back to the good old days of vlogging, which just doesn’t happen these days on the bigger NZYT channels. Check him out, he has GG approval. Also a little bit of gossip on him (suprise) it seems that both Kate (kbellbee) and Tenani (nanisnap) may have crushes on him, stay tuned for more info on this one…

There is another new collab channel on the block, this one called vlogbytes. It features Kate, Tenani, Lewis, Jess, Simon (pommypictures), Cody (davanti) and Juno (junoluvsu). This one involves the members putting up videos under two minutes and asking a question for the next uploader (after answering the previous question). It’s an interesting concept, I think. They also will be opening the channel up to subscribers to make videos in the future, which should be another interesting twist to observe. Let’s see how the channel measures up to KiwiCollision, the new collab channel from Ben (BattleSoup) and Jayson (justanotherkiwi).

In non-NZ YouTube news, NZYT fan Kim (kimbrrrrrly) has been in Germany for the past couple of weeeks on a random trip over there. Various sources have told me that she is competing in a German reality show in the vein of The Bachelor, but somehow I find this hard to believe. Any information reguarding her trip would be appreciated (nzytgossip@gmail.com).

That’s all for now, gossipers.

Mwah.
