'I lived with a Love Island and Selling Sunset star - here's what shocked me the most'

YouTuber Max Fosh stepped out of his comfort zone, trying reality TV for the first time when he joined Neflix's Inside USA. The show, which has produced two successful series in the UK, is the brainchild of UK YouTube super group, the Sidemen, which includes Britain's Got Talent judge, KSI.

Following the success of their UK series, the Sidemen gathered a bunch of content creators (and NBA hall of famer Dwight Howard) and things got rowdy, to say the least. Among the US stars were UK stars Ekin-Su Cülcüloğluand YouTuber Max Fosh.

During the course of the show, the housemates compete in challenges to win money from a shared prize fund, facing high costs for basic needs and failing to complete tasks. The aim of the game is to walk away with the prize fund as high as possible, but in this series, the stars spent/lost over $700,000 (£518,393) from the $1m (£740,562) jackpot, with winner Aisha Main taking home $303,050 (£224427).

Max stuck to the rules and refused to spend in the shop, but unfortunately for the YouTuber, sticking to the rules is what lead to his housemates turning on him, leading to his eviction just over half way through the series.

The girls voted him out as they became irritated with him 'commenting on their high spending'. Max was left in utter shock when he was told he needed to leave, and in one controversial moment, stars including Love Island's Ekin Su were seen laughing at the fact he'd been told to pack his bags.

At the time, Max admitted he had no idea he was being laughed at, revealing he was left upset when he watched the scenes back. Despite not being able to confront them at the time, he wasted no time in bringing it up at the explosive reunion.

Speaking about his eviction to the Mirror, Max said: "Genuinely I was completely shocked. It's funny, because the response from people afterwards was 'how did you not know?'

"I didn't notice them laughing at the time, I was very shocked. It was only when I saw the clips after that I saw they were laughing. I'm grateful they apologised, but I was genuinely so shocked in that moment, I just didn't see it coming."

"I'm not a very confrontational person at all. I just wanted to air how I felt in that regard. They listened, and Ekin apologised, which was very nice. That's the game, and that's how it's played. It shows I'm not very good at reality TV, but that was a lesson learnt!"

Max's confrontation during the reunion may have been slightly overshadowed by Ekin-Suand Bre's furious back and forth with one another, however. The girls started off as great friends, but everything came crashing down when Ekin-Suwas exposed for voting out Youtuber Alissa Violet.

Later on, it was revealed that Bre had bid £200,000 from the cash fund for immunity, and was caught mocking the situation, even calling the money "monopoly money".

Addressing the situation at the reunion, Bre claimed she wasn't lying as Ekin never asked her about the bidding, although Bre asked Ekin if she was the one to vote out Alissa.

Mocking Ekin's British accent during the reunion, Bre exclaimed: “Okay, so then don't say ‘it's Monopoly money’ You didn’t ask me?“

"I don't need to ask you. I saw the evidence," Ekin responded, referencing the video she was shown in the temptation room.

“You didn’t have the b**** to tell me yourself," Bre chimed, before Ekin said it would be "controlling" for the Selling Sunset star to tell her what to do.

“Are you crazy? Tell you what to do? I said you didn't have the b**** to ask me," Bre exclaimed, before the argument ended with her calling the Love Island winner a ‘manipulative liar’.

Although us viewers had front row seats for the drama, there were a few wholesome moments we didn't get to see, one in particular that Max wishes was show on camera.

"We invented this game called ball basket, which was the opposite of basketball, because the only thing we had in the house was our laundry baskets. We bought a bouncy ball early doors, so we started putting it in different corners of the room, and tried to bounce the ball into the basket, and not a single moment made it to air!" he said.
