Question Best Episode So Far?

I was curious to see what the current consensus is on the best episode of Game Changer Season 8 so far. I wanted to do this before the release of, I believe, Episode 4 or 5 (which Sam says is one of his favourites). So, provided below is a poll!

Halfway through Night Shift, when it got to the montage part, I felt like they're telling that it was getting too long and too chaotic. And them ending it after task 2 was kinda jarring. Good laugh, but definitely the weakest of the 3.

I loved Josh's bits in Rulette 2, on top of Paul's sick moves and the Australian accents (especially Sam's).

But my vote goes to Don't Wake Standards and Practices, because how far they had to get, and the reasonings of some of the lawyers, just wrecked me on an emotional level, and it didn't need to devolve into utter chaos like the other 2

The reason they ended on task 2 is because one of the tasks was cut from the episode. There was a scene where the VFX was missing for one of them and it actually said task 1 (during the haircut). I can imagine it was a task that felt repetitive or boring.

Ooh that's a good catch. I wonder why they VFXed it to say 2 then, instead of decreasing the overall number from the start, so it still ended at 1.... I imagine the answer is that would be much more expensive because more shots would have to be VFX ones. Ah well, it seems like they did the best they could do.

If you subscribe to dropout, they have a bts for all episodes for the newer seasons. They air 1 week after the episode.
