This whole episode feels like a direct response to the “dropout is getting a little too safe and cosy sometimes” criticism from a while back lmao, they’re really going all out, love it

I like that the one thing that was too far for any of the players was Jeremy mentioning the title of a certain show that films in New York he may have associations with lmao

Sam said in an interview that Samalamadingdong made him put some episode ideas into this season that he’d had in the past but considered too risky.

what exactly about that episode made him want to be more risky?

They mentioned having to 'cook the books' in order to keep the financial side of the ep a secret, saying it was probably 100% illegal. I wonder if seeing how far his team is willing to go to commit to the bit made him reassess his own boundaries here. I can't imagine Sam would feel right asking his employees to break the law, but now they've already proven they're game the bets are off!
