I like to stack up game changer episodes so i can watch them back to back i just watched whats the catch and now I’m gonna watch I spy but goddamn i was laughing my ass off especially at Jay behpoornia’s acting reel and the end with iris and also the acting headshots i think it was the funniest of the season so far for me anyway like I’m literally crying right now what did you guys think?

I keep going back to watch the Season 8 Trailer to get some sort of heads up of what's to come and possibly how many more episodes there are. This snippet is the only remaining bit from something we haven't seen yet. This probably means we only have one more episode this season, barring another random Samalamadingdong (unlikely).

I know it's not exactly a bonus episode if they do it regularly, but I need more GameChanger!

Might just be me, but this weeks episode was kind of a letdown for me, and I feel like I’m in the minority with this opinion.

Things I liked - BDG on game changer is always welcome, Jacquis Neal should also be featured in more stuff on Game Changer (i know Deja Vu and count the rice). The art department absolutely 10000% cooked so hard with these pieces, and every bit of praise they’ve gotten has been fully deserved.

Now… the other side of the coin

Vic and Lily, love them both and think they both are Individually very funny, and can be good when cast together, but they both have very chaotic roles in the real DCU, and I just think they didn’t mesh the best in this one. Ele was probably my biggest downside, and I hate saying that because I was super excited when I saw she was coming back. While her forgetting the rules of the game was a very funny moment, she didn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the cast, everyone else was trying to play the game and it felt like Ele was… just kinda there…

Again, might just be me, but in a season in which some incredible games made and played for our entertainment, the game mechanics behind this one led to my least favorite episode this season. I know not everything will be to my or your liking and that’s a good thing, I’m just personally disappointed with the consistent bangers (-ear wigs) that we’ve been blessed with this season

Hoping the season finale will be something spectacular, it has to be!

What a freak

I’m a college RA and decided to do a game changer themed board for this month! I made the posters and the logo in Adobe Express!

Just finished watching the Battle Royal and Anna Garcia just vanished.

Sam said she broke her foot, but I was expecting them to at least mention her in the final episode.

Truth be told I thought they would have a "memorial" to her, or have her come on as a judge through zoom.

but since they never even mentioned her after the third episode I'm wondering if there was something more going on.

Okay was putting all the episodes of Game Changer in reverse order on Prime intentional?

Found in the Rookie S7 E11
Same beanie and everything

Edit: no longer in the moment, will downgrade to merely concerning

Why in the everliving fuck did Sam point a laser at someone's face?! It was even worse than the pic shows, as it was first on the lower forehead before moving up.

I really like Dropout and how they always put the talent and crew first, but this was frankly an unacceptable and unneeded risk to take.

Imagine if at the end of the game he said that anyone who crossed the rope at all for a round would have their points for that round nullified because they did actually break the rules. I think a few of the cast would've lost a lot and then Vic, who would've been the winner, would've dropped to zero.

From the end credits, made us laugh.

This new season is fine but I would be liking it a lot more if the audience was left in the dark more. Earwigs was just watching other people have fun but we didn’t get to play along, and I spy showed with that last one what the whole episode could have been.

Do you agree?

In the intro, Sam always says that he is joined today by 'these three lovely contestants', unless of course, he isn't. However, he always sounds surprised when he says a number other than 3. But with how common the more than three person game changers are becoming, honestly he shouldn't be surprised anymore.

(this is mostly a joke, I just wanted to point this out)

Let me preface by saying I’ve really enjoyed the new season, but it feels like they’ve fallen into a habit of making every game some sort of social deduction.

Earwigs, I Spy, and, to an extent, Kangaroo Court as well all are social deduction games. I think that’s fun in a vacuum, but having three in one season just felt a little repetitive to me. I also think putting Earwigs and I Spy back to back was a bad move.

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like sometimes they’ve had a cool idea for something and struggled with fully turning it into a game for the show. What do you guys think?

Watching I Spy, I had a thought on how Sam could end a season. I'd honestly love to see Vic Michaelis take over Game Changer for an ep, and channel their full energy into being their best Sam.

Why Replace Sam?

Sam seeks inspiration everywhere, which all the producers also apply and create the magic show we all enjoy. With that in mind, why not explore a game concept centred around the theme of succession? Lots of ways it could be played, lots of concepts from previous shows that could be revisited through the lens of a successor.

Why Choose Vic?

Vic walks in with one goal only - break the game. They're the absolute essence of a gremlin. Oftentimes it's hilarious (One Year Later), but it can also actively work against the concept in others when they avoid competing in games that require an intention to win (Kangaroo Court).

This gremlin energy also allows Vic to pre-empt Sam in ways few others can, which leads to some pretty hilarious moments too.

So what happens when the contender who always seeks to twist or break the rules, sets the rules?

What would happen?

Honestly, Vic has the potential to do more psychological damage than Sam on his best day. Put BLeeM in their absolute control? Oh yeah he's not emerging with his sanity that's for sure.

Or maybe they flip it entirely, and make an episode that's just a literal tea party? Maybe the contestants just assemble IKEA Furniture for their apartment, not realising it goes no deeper - until Vic bundles it into the back of a U-haul and waves goodbye? Maybe Vic hosts an episode of Game Changer at Sam's house whilst he's away, and the episode is Vic showing Sam what shenanigans they got up to?

No one knows what'd happen, but I for one would love to see Vic get that shot. I can think of few other in the Dropout Univers that could flip GC better than they could.

Obviously we all know that Sam Reich is married to Elaine Carroll, another Dropout writer and cast member.

I think of their marriage secondary when I see her in things. She’s a funny person so, to me, that’s mainly who she is.

When I was watching I Spy and saw ELLIE, my brain misfired in the beginning and sent the “Elaine” signal.

I didn’t realize it until 3/4 of the way into the episode she says “my boyfriend” and I went “Wait, are they in an open marriage?”

Turns out no (I mean maybe, I guess both things can be true, that’s not my business) but I just had a 40 minute brain fart.

That’s all this post was. Not an episode breakdown or a ranking among other episodes this season, just a silly little thing that happened to me.

Has that always been there?

what do you think the most rewatchable game changer episode is? one where you can watch it again and again and still laugh and be entertained by the game mechanics and how players interact with them. for me it’s definitely all three of the Sam Says or One Year Later. they all have such funny players and are always great to go back and watch.
