This episode is still paused after that scene because the overwhelming cringe factor had me clutching and clawing at my face

I think Starstruck is my favorite D20 already.

They all have such fun dynamics together, I wasn't expecting to love Barry and Gunnie's Casino trip so much but it started off gold with the double failed simple check to find literally any place in a massive space station to reasonably expect to buy kitchen gear ending up with 'oh yea, Barry fully thinks you can get kitchen gear in the casino' 'yea they've got a buffet, right???' and just got better.

It was fun to see the return of Lou's hysterical laughter as his character does something incredibly stupid

Barry is probably regretting losing his heavy repeater rn

I do think the party dynamics are a bit off, though. With the exception of Margaret, they all have incredible chaos energy and it means they have to take turns being the responsible one so everyone else can go absolutely bugshit

I agree with Sam, Grant could've learned a few more phrases in Italian. Like even if he's just doing 'where is the library' type phrases it would've made the bit even funnier.

absolutely not, Grant literally only being able to say 'excuse me' in character as he inserts himself into things was gold.

Also the Game Changer this week is another Race to the Bottom and it's another banger.

I thought it was going to be dull at the beginning but bringing in a scab was the best way to redo that episode, and Katie was the perfect person for that role.

I like the way they've set it all up. There's a ton of room for growth, and he's got a decent mechanic for their performance affecting the story in the future.

I'm convinced they're having Amy on so much because they made a trophy for when she laughs 100 times in a single Breaking News episode. Believe she hit high 90's in one episode. Rooting for her to hit the triple digits with each appearance.

I think they're just trying to have her on with new people so Sam and crew can be like "No, she's really THAT bad!"

It's hard to see him winning, given every vote he's eligible for, people are gonna take their shots. But finding two immunities right off the bat, hot drat, not it's a game.

Agree. Could be editing, but he's quick to suggest an underline on it means it had to have been production, vs. the occam's razor that it was just one of them. Feels uncharacteristic to not try to suss out who did that as a distraction from the target on his back... unless hew as the one who did it.

Might have been Brennan, but also Katie is the first person to suggest they all rig it and vote for Sam, and he does warn them that that'll blow up in their face if they try, so I'm on the fence.

Someone on the discord spent a while looking at screenshots of paper rip patterns and decided it was Lou.

After the last Game Changer, Katie was working with Sam as a scab. I thought Sam might be working with Katie this time too. He wanted a way to sow distrust, so he worked it out so Katie would vote for herself knowing the rest wouldn't be able to resist trying to vote Sam off.

honestly I think it's art dept. because underlining the name JUST to use it to throw off suspicion later is some 5-D chess bullshit even for Brennan

I have never really watched Survivor but I may go back and watch some now; I've heard it's like a master class in social game design

I mean if anyone was playing 5D chess it'd be him. Tho I wouldn't discount underlining for the heck of it and improvising the art dept accusation later.

It's actually a genius concept to take Survivor and do it with a bunch of people who are awkward comedian pals. It's gonna be lol's for the first few episodes and then get real (for most of them), real fast.

Rooting for Grant or Raff.

No, he was just checking with them to confirm the bit in front of the voting urn was a legit one and not just using the same symbol.
