Thanks for sharing that bit of the commentary, it was hilarious. Troy and Tim were probably considering rerecording the commentary the more Joseph talked there.

Won't say too much about how obvious I think the multiple actors thing is since you didn't say too much about it either.

Okay, so after Entry #80 I had a goofy idea. If this has been said previously then I apologize. Obviously don't read the next part unless you've seen Entry #80.

Okay, I'm going to bring up Hoody knowing Jay's safe combination again. Hoody only had a few ways to know that safe combination. It's easy to assume they simply followed and overheard the conversation but how could they have followed two cars to a hotel in time to hear the conversation, on foot? Not to mention, they then get Jessica out of there months later, rather than right away, which would have made more sense if they had been there to overhear it.

Short of magically knowing everything, there are precious few ways Hoody could have known that combination.

1. Jessica was working with Hoody. This doesn't seem likely, since she didn't recognise them in #76.
2. They're Future Jay.
3. They somehow knew what the combination would be, without being there to hear Jessica suggest it. This would require more than just guessing it's the last four digits of her phone number. They would have to know Jessica well enough to know she'd suggest that. The only candidate who knew Jessica is Amy.

If anyone has any other explanations, I'd like to hear them. Do seriously consider this though. How was that note with the safe combination left behind for Jay? Is there a reasonable explanation for it? If Hoody is Brian or Seth and they just used super guessing powers or their quiet-interrogation-while-Jay-is-right-next-door expertise, I daresay I'd have a hard time buying it.

brian is my choice because hes the only one with enough screentime for the reveal to be meaningful

alex in conjuction with brian is also possible

@ above guy
hoody has been cknstantly following people and listening to their conversations and just generally being a sneaky fuck

i dont think its a big stretch for him to have heard jess and jay taljing about the safe

[geekgirlinthefedora]

Agreeing with Jibbles on that one. Jay and Jessica were standing outside a conveniently placed fence that Hoody was behind at one point that we know of (entry 76) so it's not a stretch to think he was there and listening in on the conversation.

Hoody would have had to either somehow follow a car on foot or have known to be at that hotel. Both of which seem impossible. And again, if Hoody was there from the beginning, why wait so long to "rescue" Jessica?

I suppose Hoody could have been hiding by that tree, since Jay never points the camera at it. Jay also wasn't exactly speaking in a hushed voice at the time. They'd be a little screwed if that hotel wasn't possible to walk to within an hour but they could have got lucky there.

Even so, the point about Hoody taking months to get Jessica still stands. It seems to me that Hoody had been searching for Jessica all that time and only found her after #32.

While Future Jay would explain a few things, there isn't a whole lot of evidence for it. Amy seems most plausible to me at this point because of how much Hoody knows, then Future Jay for the same reason, then Brian and Seth because they would need to be masters of guessing, luck and knowing everything in order to be Hoody.

Why would Amy know anything?

She's the only one who could potentially know Jessica would use 1102 as a combination without needing to overhear the conversation, as they were roommates.
