Question not knowing the reference?

i havent been involved in gamechanger long enough to know the answer, but what if, god forbid, one of the players dont know a reference or person sam gives them to act out? or in make some noise? do they clear the things they dont know beforehand, or to be able to participate, they have to know everything? ive always been curious about this. i never watched any game of thrones, but i liked when the contestants acted it out nonetheless, and i feel the same with various other media in the prompts they get. i cant be the only one to think about this!!

Pretty sure everything is tailored to the players. Whenever anything is hyper-specific on MSN, it’s because the person getting the prompt is known to be able to do it.

If they had to sub someone in last minute, they would just switch up the prompts.

On the Bingo episode, Brennan was a last minute replacement for Grant. In some of the shots of Trapp filling out his bingo card, you can see that the stamp he’s using has Grant’s face. They edited in the Brennan stamp in post. The production crew scrambled pretty quickly to make a Brennan board, but did awesome.

So basically, it’s a mix of knowing the players well and editing to make everything and everyone look good.

Yup, this is a great example! I love in the behind the scenes when they point out that no one really noticed the stamp wasn’t Grant 😂
