If it makes anyone feel better, I AM only attracted to monsters and not actual humans...:|

Your face when you're waiting for your Game Daddy slash CEO to tell you that you're getting a good grade in Loud Gong
As contrasted with the look of utter terror and regret as you realize you have forgotten the most crucial detail of this twisted game of tricks and revelations: that it was constructed by your personal devil stuffed into a pinstripe suit and nothing is what it appears to be but many things are exactly what they are presented as, and the only certainty is that you will be uncertain.

Dropout is just the human version of The Muppet Show
I wonder how well an "It's just an empty box" episode of Game Changer would go. Just a series of challenges that look fucking suspicious as hell but with absolutely nothing more than face value about them. Then you just have Sam act suspicious the entire episode and see where things go from there. Ideas I have are:
- Ominous spotlight illuminates one of the players.
- Pick a word someone says or action someone does a lot. Play a little chime anytime it happens.
- Legal paperwork is brought out mid episode. It's dense and 200-300 pages thick.
- A small black box is brought out. There's a small hole cut in it. Sam says the box is definitely empty and they just have to put their hands in. Don't worry, there's nothing there. Why are you crying?
- Randomly start saying "Sam Says" but assure contestants they're not playing Sam Says.
- Drop a mannequin from the ceiling.
This has been my pitch for "Give Brennan an ulcer 2024."
Sam Reich is the closest thing we have to a real trickster god

[Transcript: Look, Penelope. Look. There is nobody out here. Nobody. Do you see that? Do you see that? Look- Look over here. There’s nobody. Look over here. There’s nobody! There is nobody out here. End transcript.]

(Penelope is a small black chihuahua, roughly the size of three bagels, and is being held out at arm's length.)
theories on the meteoric rise of the transgender puppygirl:
- the promise of unconditional love amongst a group of people for whom love is often highly conditional
- undiscovered dog based toxoplasmosis variant
this one is so real.
