Finding FailRace a Co-Commentator
So it may not come as any surprise, given how much I reference him in a lot of my comments here, but I’m quite a big fan of FailRace; heck, he’s my favourite racing game youtuber by quite a margin. However, those who have been watching Alex’s content for a while will know that he’s been going solo for, I believe, about a good year-and-a-half after the departure of Daniel and Husky. Though I still see comments pining for them back, despite Alex making it quite clear that they’ve gone their separate ways, those comments do raise some valid issues that I think need discussing; the most important of which is that I really think Alex needs a reliable, consistent co-commentator, especially when it comes to commentating over videos like the ‘Vs. the Community’, or Forza ‘showdown’ series.
Here’s the thing; while I think Alex is an excellent commentator, and provides plenty of non-forced, genuine laughs with his more silly videos (chief among which are the GTA 5 Vs. the Army series), ever wonder why almost every televised motorsport series has at least two commentators?
Simple; because the presence of a second person can not only lead to the interest of two potential differing opinions, but can lead to some very witty banter, especially if they have a good chemistry (and I think most’ll agree that Daniel and Husky definitely had that), and I do often find myself wishing Alex had someone else to talk to during the more serious videos, and so I pose a question to all CTzens:
Who do you think would make a good co-presenter for Alex? Daniel and Husky are discounted (see above), but do you think anyone else would fit the bill? I’ve often seen Alex and EKDrifter458 brought up together, and I believe Rhysss, who makes the GTA 5 community tracks they race on, appeared in a video last year and certainly proved his worth, but does anyone else fit the bill?

Daniel…must come back cause we can all say this if he does something interesting…Dang Daniel
Srry not srry #had2
He now has his own channel, Hoonland Gaming, but there isn’t really much going on. He uploads one or two videos a month.
The issue with EK and Rhys as Alex’s co-hosts is that both of those two do swear a lot (it won’t have shown on the vid Rhys was in as Alex had asked him not to swear) but I have talked to Rhys on multiple occasions and he does. Same goes for EK, if he were to be a co-host not only would be caught up in that instead of doing his own videos, he would have to restrain himself from swearing. Collabs are more than cool enough between FR and EK, but a proper co-presenter. No.
Ah yes, swearing is a problem; to be fair, though, there were a few videos with Daniel and Husky where they cursed quite a bit. But yes, we need someone clean :)
I would love to see Husky back, I was pleasantly surprised when he appeared on a Forza video this February. As for Daniel, I’m sure that he won’t come back, he has now his own channel, so he’s doing his own thing.
