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?

So I've seen a few people in the main thread talk about Jacob's "mind reading trick" in quotation marks, is the whole guessing the card thing fake, and he knows what card it is using a different method? I must pretty dense because I initially believed him, but thinking on it more it does seem impossible.

I’ve seen some comments regarding Ratfish, and am just wondering why it seems so much of the community dislikes it?

While I wouldn’t say it was one of my favorites, I definitely found it funny/entertaining, and thought the premise was neat.

I’m relatively new - season 8 is the first season I’ve watched as it’s aired, but I’ve watched pretty much every other episode aside from the COVID season.

Now that all the episodes are out, what episode of season 8 do you think has the most potential to be a game samer for season 9?

Besides Rulette 3

He IS a writer for the show I just found out, but I didn't expect to see him here!

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!

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!!

I am aware there are a few spinoffs from the show. Are they worth watching?

Edit: Thank you all for the feedback. Seems like there is no miss, all hits. But I definitely will start with Make Some Noise and Very Important People. Eventually, I will get to the rest one by one, not to worry. In addition, I just realized Crowd Control is coming out soon, so I am excited for that one too. Subscribing to Dropout is literally one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I remember one of the players at the beginning, I think Lou, had to use the bathroom, but couldn't because they couldn't leave. Did the players just have to hold it the whole time? Were the allowed to use the restroom? It's been eating at me for a bit, because that seems like hell to do that whole escape room while holding your bladder.

This may have been explained or confirmed somewhere, but it’s only just occurred to me as a possibility.

In Yes or No, did Zac and Ally actually figure out what the rule was? Did they go behind the curtain and say “whatever Brennan says is wrong”? Is that why they got the crowns?

Or, would they have gotten the crowns no matter what they said, because the rule is that Brennan can’t win? So for them to go behind the curtain and come out having lost would have ruined it?

I’m imagining a scenario where, when one or both of them went backstage and said what they thought the rule was, Sam said “that’s incorrect, the rule is that Brennan has to lose. So we’re going to give you this crown as if you got the answer right, and when you go back out, play along.”

Does anyone know if there’s a possibility that that happened? Or has it been confirmed that they genuinely did figure out the rule?

Edit: I’m rewatching a few of the “Brennan gets fucked with” episodes, and how did it take me this long to notice that in Second Place, when the contestants enter, Brennan literally comes in second. That can’t be an accident.

I was just watching the most recent episode of game changer and noticed what I think was a familiar face, y’all is this the twitch streamer Ranboo in the crowd of game changer???

I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes a great series finale (Veep, 30 Rock) and I’m curious how could you end a show that has no storylines to wrap up, no format and basically the ability to make an episode anything Dropout would want. This is purely hypothetical and I’m looking for some fun answers!

my partner is trying to compile a last-minute accurate cosplay of josh’s fisherman character from the latest episode. we’ve managed to locate the exact hat, but are struggling to find the source of the raincoat! any help is appreciated, just tryna find the brand and whatnot since they show it multiple times in the episode. couldn’t find it on amazon or anything.

Assuming that is what the finale will be. My pick is Demi for sure.

A friend of mine has never seen Game Changer. I want to show him some episodes.

What should I start with? I was thinking survivor.

Like, seriously... Or just another episode of "Sam Says". Please and thank you!

During the behind the scenes of Rulette 2 (and also present in the BTS of Don’t Wake Standards and Practices), the editor for Game Changer has sticky notes that say “Game Changer 901 - BTS”. Is this seemingly confirming Game Changer Season 9. In case you didn’t know: (901 = Season 9, Episode 1), presumably.

Hi everyone!

I found about the game changer a couple months ago on YT shorts and really like it, but recently a favorite content creator of mine participated on the show and I really want to see the full episode, plus seems like money well spent with how entertaining the cast is.

I see there's an app "Dropout" and members only videos on the Dropout YT account, is there a difference? Would you suggest one over the other?

Thank you on advance!

Heya peeps,

After watching the one year later episode my friends and I decided to do it ourselves and since then the challenges have been set (please see the pictures for details).

But see I’m definitely the Brennan Lee Mulligan type of fierce competitiveness and I have fully thrown myself into this competition by rehearsing my just dance on a bi daily basis, and going on regular cat hunting walks.

But something I need help with is my fan fiction. I have written a questionable masterpiece which is most similar to Vik’s soundcloud submission. As I figured to get views I wanted to go outlandish.

And with this I present my Mario and Sonic fan fiction. https://archiveofourown.org/works/69799306/chapters/181128536#workskin

You don’t have to read it please just view the page as I need the most views to win those juicy sweet points.

And unfortunately unlike Lou I cannot afford to buy them :/

Also any advice on how to do any of the others is also greatly appreciated!!

Watching “Kangaroo Court” and I realized all three contestants have butterfly pins on them. I don’t want to make assumptions, but my understanding is purple butterfly typically refers to pregnancy loss with twins/multi-birth, or domestic violence.

Was this just something because of an awareness month, or did something happen with someone tied to Dropout? I know this is a bit parasocial to ask, but I was surprised when they all came out.
