My Roommates Made a Bet on Candy Shorts: unlock or skip?

A cheap room, two roommates and a bet

The room in My Roommates Made a Bet Candy Shorts is suspiciously cheap, and the synopsis knows it. Watch the free episodes first: finishing costs 36 tokens, 36% of one month’s Premium allowance, and I would spend them only if the twist interests you.

A broke everyman answers the ad, moves in with two bombshell roommates and has no idea they have secretly bet on who wins him first. The synopsis adds that not all is as it seems, and then says no more. I would have asked at least one question about the rent. He doesn’t, which is why he is a protagonist and I am a reviewer.

Why the twist is the whole case

A bet between two roommates is an old, easy device. It gives both women a reason to compete and gives him a reason to be tested, which keeps things moving. But it is the standard version, and I would call the premise thin without the last clause. “Not all is as it seems” is the part that might lift it, and the synopsis refuses to say what it means, so I can’t promise the paid episodes cash it in.

My Roommates Made a Bet Candy Shorts: the bill and who it’s for

Episode 1 plays without an account and episode 2 needs a free login. The other 3 of 5 episodes cost 12 tokens each: 36 in all, against the 100 that Premium gives you every month. Out of each plan’s allowance, finishing is worth $1.44 on the 12-month plan, $3.24 on 3 months and $5.04 on 1 month.

Unlock it if the free episodes leave you wanting to know what is really going on, ideally on the 12-month plan. Stop at episode 2 if the bet feels like a trope you have already finished. For other secrets-and-setups stories, What They Don’t Know and YES MA’AM are worth a look, going by the titles.
