JoJo hosts an surprise livestream from the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Freedom of the Seas, while it’s still docked in Miami. He teases that he is with a “mystery guest” whose identity he does not want to reveal yet. JoJo says “it’s like a TV series, they got to keep you guys guessing.” Viewers try to guess who the mystery person is, throwing out names like Ryan, Krista, and Dan. JoJo says the reveal will come in an upcoming vlog.
During the livestream, JoJo walks around a little, but mainly stays sitting at a bar on deck. He keeps the camera mostly on his face, to avoid showing the mystery guest, who is patiently waiting, like a girlfriend would, just off camera.
At one point, JoJo has to use the restroom after drinking, but instead of giving the camera to his guest to hold, he finds a stranger to take it. One man reluctantly agrees to “hold it for 30 seconds,” and actually says a few words to the viewers while JoJo is gone.
responding to viewers in chat
Responding to viewers’ questions, JoJo says this short “weekend cruise” is heading to the Bahamas and CocoCay. He also reveals “I’m going on the biggest trip of my life” soon. He’s going with two other people, but won’t disclose the location yet. He asks people to guess and says he will acknowledge if someone guesses correctly.
The obvious answer from everything he said is SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, especially since he was able to rattle off facts about traveling there.
Someone says he looks lit, which he usually is in denial about, and true to form, he says, “I’m supposed to get lit. I’m actually not lit though. If Dan was here, I’d be over the moon already.”
JoJo discusses his YouTube career, saying “I don’t make millions” despite having over 1 million subscribers. He explains “everything I get from the channel literally goes straight back into content and groceries.” (He admits that “groceries” is really UberEats.)
JoJo shares that his goal is to someday start a charity. However, he says, “The point is that charity’s down the line. You need money, I also need money to make videos because this cruise alone is like $2000.” In other words, don’t expect JoJo to give to charity or encourage viewers to give to a charity anytime soon. He needs the money more than people in need, to pay for his cruises and bar bill.
an accidental reveal
Near the end, JoJo provides a “crucial hint” that his mystery guest “is not a content creator.” The clues don’t matter, since while he was vlogging during the livestream, he referred to his guest as “Krista”. It’s Krista.
He thanks viewers for watching, promises the reveal is coming, and signs off saying “I’m gonna go have fun. I’m gonna vlog and I will see you on Monday.”
[3/5] It’s just dumb and unnecessary to try to drum up interest by trying to hide that his girlfriend Krista is the person who is with him on the cruise. It would have been more interesting to have her engaging on camera instead of hiding behind it.
