Tidbits

Teaser 1

Raquan totally made up his song.

Anna is known for her crazy laugh.

There are 3 sets of siblings in the teasers.

Teaser 2

The kids are sitting in a play fire truck.

The thing on Cole's head is a soft, rubbery ball that popped and we cut in half. It's also the same thing on Roddrick's head in Teaser 1.

Intro

Yes, "Sam" and "Sam" are siblings.

The motion graphics for each letter in the word "reach" were created by "Sam".

"Sam" had a cold in the last scene. It was filmed months after the other scenes.

Respect

The team names were made up by the kids.

The scoring was totally random to make you wonder – did it work?

The game show host improvised a lot!

Respect Stop Action

Yes, two kids change during balloon popping.

The kids brainstormed this video as their reward for winning the game show.

After trying many ways to get the balloons to pop, we used pushpins or tacks.

Empathy

Yes, those are chocolate swirls on the light blue background – Yummy.

The "throwup" is the soft, rubbery, spikey balls, cut off the hat seen in the teasers.

Yes, "Shea's" hairstyle changes – it was a two day shoot.

Assertiveness

Roddrick is the hand model.

Yes, assertiveness is hard to say! Can you say it? With a smile?

"Not cool!" was originally "Knock it off!" but an advisor thought "Knock it off!" crossed the line from assertive to aggressive.

Consideration

The opening "gasp" was not scripted.

In the whispering scene, the lone girl tried to look upset but she couldn't!

Outer space felt surprisingly a lot like earth.

Honesty

This is the first episode that both anchors are boys.

Yes, we really play foursquare with that big ball.

Right2B

The morphing kid is the oldest ReachTV kid.

One girl is in every group – can you guess which one?
