This is my daughter's bedroom,
2
and by the end of the day,
3
it will be transformed into an epic Barbie dream room.
4
But she'll have to wait until tonight for the big reveal.
5
While the surprise room makeover is happening upstairs,
6
downstairs, Salish and I will be competing in a series of extreme one-color challenges.
7
Salish is going to have to win five rounds before she gets to see her new room reveal.
8
Dad, please, I really want to see it.
9
Could we please just go upstairs and start it?
10
The painters haven't even started yet, Seth.
11
Wait, there's painters?
12
So the first round is inspired by one of Pop Reveal's many surprises, ooey goo.
13
Over our heads is black goo for me and pink goo for Salish.
14
We are doing a bottle flipping challenge.
15
Whoever hits the bottle flip first wins and the loser gets gooed.
16
I'm going first.
17
No, no, no, no. No,
18
no, no. No, no, she can't just go.
19
No, no, no. I didn't even get a chance to go.
20
Ha ha.
21
What the heck?
22
One round down, four to go until I get to see my new room.
23
Obviously, I need a shower,
24
but I don't trust Salish for a second.
25
I know she's going to try and sneak a peek at her new room,
26
and so I brought backup.
27
Nobody's getting past me unless you know the password.
28
Do you know the password?
29
No. Thought so, okay.
30
Now my dad's in the shower,
31
so I'm going to go try and see the room.
32
Let's go.
33
Oh, hey, Ike.
34
Hey.
35
Uh, excuse me, I'm just going to, um.
36
No, no. It's my room.
37
You know the passcode?
38
Nope.
39
You're not getting in then.
40
Nope, nope, not today.
41
Your dad told me not to let anyone in unless they know the passcode.
42
Dang it.
43
No going back now.
44
I've got something a little special for Say.
45
This is going to stay here forever.
46
This is going to be such a nice surprise for her when she sees my heart.
47
I love you, Say Say.
48
Sandy, do you know where my dad is?
49
No. I don't believe you.
50
I cannot believe Salish is giving me permission to do this.
51
I mean, it wasn't that long ago.
52
I wasn't even allowed in her room.
53
Now I can do a full makeover surprise.
54
I'm going to show you what Salish is going to do later tonight for the big reveal.
55
This is me being Salish.
56
Yeah!
57
I'm so happy.
58
I love you, Daddy.
59
Thank you for making me sad, baby.
60
You're the best dad ever.
61
Next round, one color shopping.
62
We each have five minutes to pick an outfit in our color.
63
Then we're going to post it on social,
64
and whoever gets more votes wins.
65
And that'll be me.
66
That's going to be me.
67
Absolutely me.
68
OK, I'm starting.
69
OK, all right, go.
70
Now I'm just going to go ahead and try and find like a pink tank top.
71
Just anything pink.
72
Maybe like pink sweats.
73
This should be easy for Mary.
74
We're black every day.
75
This is just a no. Just like, what is that?
76
Uh, I don't know if that's my thing.
77
This is like something my mom would wear.
78
Cute.
79
So I guess we'll try this.
80
What else?
81
Oh, wait, just wait.
82
Go to Sailor's, cut back to me in a sec.
83
These shorts, they're pretty cute.
84
Sometimes I would wear pink shorts,
85
but I don't know about that.
86
Oh yeah.
87
With the tilted camera, what?
88
What, come on.
89
Okay, I don't think this is me.
90
Moving on.
91
The hard thing is pink and pink is not my style.
92
I'm gonna go to activewear section.
93
Ha, okay, I have black shoes.
94
I just gotta find the rest of the outfit.
95
I actually have an idea.
96
Let's be honest, probably gonna win this round because she always wins votes
97
but I have a plan what
98
if I get really formal this is either a great idea
99
or a terrible idea do I go full formal we're only wearing these outfits for this one round
100
so I can get away with something that's not totally oh
101
man that's like putting on a glove I know I look
102
good right now Sandy cue some cool music I feel good
103
I feel good okay okay well it's cringy right I was cringy wait can I see your Are you sunglasses?

108
Sandy, cue slow motion.
109
Now shoes, these are dad shoes,
110
so no. That is perfect.
111
This is very Barbie pink.
112
Can I ask you a quick question?
113
Do you think black tee,
114
or should I go with a black shirt?
115
I'd like to be.
116
I'm cool.
117
Yeah, I would be embarrassed if that was my dad.
118
There has to be something in here.
119
So maybe the kids section will have like some sweats or something that are bright pink.
120
30 seconds.
121
What?
122
30 seconds?
123
Okay, 38, this is not, I'm panicking.
124
This is way harder than I thought it would be.
125
Is that cool, Sandy?
126
Yes.
127
Sweet.
128
I have an idea.
129
Just trust.
130
Okay, perfect, and it will be like a dress.
131
Say goodbye to all of this stuff, except for the shoes.
132

162
black and pink.
163
We haven't seen it.
164
We each pick three cups and then we have to make a smoothie out of that.
165
The first person to finish their smoothie wins the round.
166
The biggest surprise of the day is actually going to be in this very closet
167
so make sure you stay tuned to see what i do
168

174
This one doesn't sound bad.

Hmm, this one kind of sounds good.
177
You're listening to them?
178
Yeah.
179
It's food.
180
Hey, I guess I'm gonna go with that one.

182
All right, now my turn, my turn.
183

185
That sounds suspicious.
186
I have absolutely no idea what this stuff is.
187

189

197
I'm just going to go with that.
198
Let me see.
199
Oh, that's vinegar.
200
Okay, that doesn't have a smell.
201
So I'm going to go with that.
202
I don't know what it is.
203
Okay, those are my three selections.
204
Like one, two, three.
205
Let's look at them now.
206
Olives are your least favorite food.
207

208
You hate olives.
209
No!
210
I hate bed frame.
211
I'm so excited about this.
212
I'm thinking this is going to take a little while.
213
Molasses.
214
Whipped beets.
215
Beans with molasses.
216
Green fruit.
217
You got so lucky I would actually order this smoothie at a smoothie place.
218
Olives are gross.
219
Yeah, well, here they go.
220
Raspberries.
221
I don't know if I'm going to be able to finish this smoothie.
222
You'll be fine.
223
We each have to guzzle them and whoever finishes first wins the round.
224
Okay, ready?
225
It doesn't stop!
226
Oops.
227
She panicked.
228
Watch the pour.
229
Ew.
230
Oh, this isn't going to go well.
231
Three, two, one.
232
I don't know if it...
233
Okay.
234
I can't do it.
235
I actually can't do it.
236
I can't.
237
I can't do it.
238
I can't do it.
239
I can't do it.
240
I finished.
241
I couldn't do it.
242
I won.
243
That wasn't that bad.
244
On to the next round.
245
Okay, Ike.
246
Are you hungry?
247
Look at how good that looks.
248
Pizza.
249
Yeah, I'm just gonna leave it right here in case you want it.
250
I don't eat carbs.
251
Gotta keep the maps right.
252
I'm just doing a great job.
253
Now, you might be wondering why I'm letting my dad redo my room.
254
First of all, I want to see what my dad and Eliana can create.
255
And also, I really like the Barbie movie Next Round ASMR.
256
The Barbie pop reveal has a ton of surprises,
257
so dad, you're gonna have to use your senses to guess what they are.
258
We're on to the final step before we put the mattress on.
259
I seriously don't expect how anyone thinks I'm gonna be able to put this mattress on the bed.
260
It weighs 10 trillion pounds.
261
Like I can't lift this thing at all.
262
And what if I put it on the bed and it breaks
263
and the whole thing snaps And we're gonna have to get a whole new bed.
264
I should take a few breaths.
265
There's eight pop reveal surprises I have to guess three of these right to win this round.
266
I got this you shook a box.
267
Yeah, I opened it Here are a couple of the surprises.
268
You have to guess what I'm doing You're crunkling past the exact.
269
Yes Boom come on!
270
Wait, I already guessed some like when you open the box and stuff.
271
Those don't count.
272
This is one of the coolest parts about it I love this You popped a balloon in my ear?
273
No, I popped open the ice cubes that have a milkshake and the Barbie roller skate.
274
Cool.
275
So far, no points.
276
He put his trust in me and I cannot let him down and I cannot let Salish down.
277
So therefore, we are gonna do this.
278
I think that's good enough.
279
I'm gonna need a minute.
280
Next thing, put out your hands.
281
Now squeeze.
282
What is it?
283
It's squeezy, it's squishy, it's a little rubbery.
284
There's ears.
285
I think there's a nose.
286
It's a Barbie's animal.
287
Oh, it's an animal.
288
It's like a cat.
289
Is it a cat?
290
Is it a cat actually?
291
Yeah.
292
Good guess, Jordan.
293
This is something to keep your finger warm, right?
294
This smells good.
295
A ring.
296
No, it's Barbie's floating Every Barbie room needs a ton of accessories and this vanity has just that.
297
Boom Oh, Salish is going to love this.
298
This is the coolest thing ever.
299
Okay, I'm excited.
300
Ready?
301

310

311

312

313

314

315
That's it.
316
What do you think it is?
317
This is the last one.
318
You have to get this right.
319
You're gonna have to use your sense of smell.
320
I'm gonna get it right come on.
321
What is the smell of her hair?
322
I'm gonna go raspberry No!
323

340
Look how cute it looks.
341
It looks so good.
342
Ellie, what's the password to the room?
343
Yeah, I still can't tell you.
344
You have to trust the process.
345
It's gonna look so good, I promise you.
346
I'm not very good at trusting the process.
347
Can you just hold Barbie for a second?
348
Sure, thanks.
349
Wait, wait, wait, no, you can't sneak in there.
350
Oh, hey, Ike, you're still here.
351
Whoa, is that someone telling your car?
352
Uh, I took an Uber, couldn't be me.
353
You know, these are actually really cool.
354
I'm gonna add them to the room.
355
Let's go.
356
Next challenge, mystery buttons.
357
I will be stuck in this pink
358
and black box with a bunch of mystery buttons until I push the one that allows me to escape.
359
The rest of the buttons lead to random pink or black consequences from Salish.
360
Why would I agree to do this?
361
No clue.
362
If I quit before I hit the escape button, I lose this round.
363
Say Say I love you.
364
Take it easy on me, Kay.
365
Uh-huh.
366
I don't wanna do this.
367
This is the last time you're gonna see my face clean.
368
Say, what do you think of this one?
369
I don't know about that one.
370
That one?
371
Uh, not that one.
372
Black over here, what do you think?
373
Uh, just do whatever you want.
374
Well, how bad could something pink be?
375
I'm going with that one.
376
Spired straw man meal.
377
Ha ha!
378
Oh!
379
Everything we're using in this challenge is like expired food or biodegradable food.
380
So we're not wasting anything, but it's more gross.
381
Five, four, three...
382
Oh, oh wait!
383
No, that's so good!
384
Yummy.
385
That was cold.
386
Does it smell good?
387
It's chunky.
388
In case you're wondering who has expired milk Rowan does.
389
Hey, sorry pink didn't work out We're going for black.
390
Oh Well, that wasn't so bad.
391

397
Go.
398
I don't know if you're ready.
399
Oh Ready, I'm ready!
400
Oh no!
401
We did this challenge two years ago and I swore I would never do it again.
402
Sandy, cue the clip.
403
We should have added pink.
404
How cute was she?
405
You were so cute.
406
I'm getting back at her right now.
407
Keep rolling those clips.
408

409
Get me out of here.
410
No, no, no, no!
411
Keep rolling.
412
Yes.
413

414
Coffee.
415
Are you ready, Dad?
416
No. Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
417
This was leftover from this morning,
418
and there was a lot leftover.
419
No. I thought you loved coffee.
420
Not like that I don't.
421
I could use a little cream and sugar.
422
Oh, no problem.
423
No, wait, wait, no, I didn't mean that.
424
I'm stalling to give Eliana as much time as possible to finish the room reveal.
425
I don't think this is really matching the vibe.
426
That looks much better.
427
Say you want to do it next time?
428
I'm good.
429
500,000 likes and Salish will be in this box next time.
430
I won't be in this box next time.
431
Give us 500,000 likes anyway,
432
please, because look at me.
433
Nope.
434
Okay, the next one actually has to be the color.
435
That's the rule.
436
Okay.
437
Black.
438
Black compost.
439
Compost could be anything.
440
So in the compost, there's olives, molasses, vinegar, pudding.
441
Oh, so everything I had to drink earlier today?
442
Um, yep.
443
Oh I forgot about that part Fun huh?
444
Yeah, don't you wish you were me right now?
445
Okay, got my eye.
446
I feel so bad about doing this to my dad.
447
Oh, oh She was kidding.
448
Can I use the bathroom?
449
No, you can't use the bathroom.
450
I'm just sitting here.
451
Bye.
452
Thank you No, Salish don't go to bed.
453
No, I don't want to sit.
454
No, it's just Say I can't know Salish actually Salish.
455

456
Okay?
457
Can I at least talk to Ellie?
458
Ellie!
459
What, Salish?
460
You can't get in.
461
I've told you this a million times.
462
Please, can I come in?
463
No!
464
Ellie!
465
I promise you, Salish, it's gonna be worth the wait.
466
Just wait a tiny bit more.
467
Ugh.
468
The second I hear the room is finished, I am giving up.
469
But until then, I gotta stick it out so she sees the room complete as it's meant to be.
470
Just a few more surprises.
471
I've got one more surprise to make the bed super, super special.
472
Ah!
473
Sandy!
474
Uh-uh!
475

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
