- [Sam] Get ready for a "Game Changer."
Tonight's guests, putting the pan in Peter Pan complex,
it's Grant O'Brien.
- I'm gonna be a little boy forever.
- Grant, sorry, could you actually
keep standing right there for me?
- What? What is this?
- This is "Game Changer," the only game show
where the game changes every show.
I am your host, Sam Reich.
I am joined today by this single lonely contestant.
- I can't believe it.
- Now Grant, you know how the game works.
- No, I don't. (Sam laughing)
I don't know how the game works.
- That's right, our contestant has no idea
what game he is about to play.
The only way to learn is by playing.
The only way to win is by learning,
and the only way to begin is by beginning,
so without further ado, let's begin.
- Can I peel back the curtain for a moment?
(Sam laughs) I came here...
Ally, freaking Jess, they're both in the green room
(Sam laughing)
like we're all gonna do a show together.
This is unbelievable.
- If you could do me a quick favor-
- [Grant] Sure. - And just sort of hit,
like, this mark right about here where I'm standing now.
- I'm gonna get slimed or something. - Open yourself up.
I would like to introduce you to some friends of mine.
First, Abel. (cheerful music)
- Hi.
Es un placer. Mi nombre es Abel.
Estoy tan feliz para conocerte.
- Lo siento, no hablo español.
- I also speak English. It's okay.
- Well, me too, hi. Lovely to meet you, Abel.
- My type, tall, nerdy, white guys. (laughs)
So yes, I did hit the jackpot.
- [Sam] Next Grant, I would like for you to meet Madison.
- Hi, Madison. - Lovely to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. I got a spray tan for this.
- It looks great. - Thank you.
- I like all women and a very specific kind of man.
A very skinny, sickly-looking man.
- [Sam] Next, I would like for you to meet Zach.
- Grant. - Hi.
- How are you? - I'm fantastic, thank you.
- Are you scared? - Yes.
- Okay, yeah, good.
See, I actually already have a boyfriend,
but I have two holes for a reason.
- [Grant] Mm-hmm.
- Plenty of room for more dicks. Everyone grab a crevice.
(Sam laughing) And-
- I'm beginning to understand what this game is.
(Sam laughing)
- Hopefully later I'll be sliming you.
- I have that hope myself. - Okay, good.
- Lovely to meet you, Zach. - You too.
- Wow, way to make a first impression!
Next up, Peyton.
- Hi. - Peyton, lovely to meet you.
- Lovely to meet you, too. - Absolutely.
- I can't top that,
but I did fall down the stairs to get here this morning
so you could say I'm head over heels.
- Are you all right? - Yes.
- Well, great. - I'm great now.
- I'm very happy to hear that.
- I really appreciated how he asked if I was okay.
So yeah, just a bit of a spark.
- [Sam] Next, I would like for you to meet Rachel.
- Oh, hi. - Hello.
- Hi, I'm Rachel. - Rachel, thank you so much.
- You're so tall! (laughs)
I'm your Danny DeVito. (Sam laughs and claps)
- Who was other villain in Bat-? Was it Catwoman?
I'm your Catwoman. - Oh, okay.
I think my type, I like a flouncy man.
- [Sam] Next up, I would like you to meet Reece.
- Oh my God, hi. - Hi.
- How are you? - I'm terrific, Reece.
How are you? - I'm good. You're so tall.
- And you have such big shoulders.
- I do, I do. Let's play a game.
- Absolutely.
- Two truths and a lie. - Okay.
- I'm a top. - Ooh, uh-huh.
- I'm a bottom. - Mm-hmm.
- I'm vers.
- Um, you're not a top. (all laughing)
- I had three completely separate things planned out to say.
It wasn't till right before I walked out that I was like,
"Huh, I'm actually gonna make this
a little bit more scandalous and see how he responds,"
and he responded great.
He like, completely volleyed back to me.
- Next up, I would like for you to meet Ryan.
(cheerful music)
- Oh, hello. - And here they are.
What an entrance.
- Hello, Ryan.
- I think I showed my best asset first.
(Sam laughing)
All right, three words, describe yourself.
- Ooh.
- Nervous, unsure of what's happening.
(Sam laughing)
- Next up, I would like for you to meet Adwin.
(cheerful music)
- Hello, Grant. - Adwin.
- How are you? - I'm fantastic.
I'm giving everybody two hands when they come out
so I'll give you two hands.
- And we're crossed- - That's right.
- Everyone kept saying how tall he was,
but when I saw it with my own eyes I was like,
"That is correct." (Sam laughing)
He's very tall.
What's your sign? - I'm a Taurus.
- Me too! Well, it's great to meet you.
- Lovely to meet you. You have very cool glasses.
- Thank you. So do you. - Well, thank you.
- Next up, Grant, I would like for you to meet Delaney.
- The seats are full.
- I can stand. It's okay.
- Hi. - Hello. (laughs)
It's nice to meet you. - Lovely to meet you.
- So I am from Tennessee
so I legally have to be the only 10 you see.
I usually like tall guys. He's my general type.
Like former theater kid energy.
- And finally, Grant, I would like for you to meet Phoenix.
- Hi. - Hello, Phoenix.
(all laughing)
- How are you? - I'm fantastic, how are you?
- I'm excited. My hands are very clammy right now.
- Hey, same. We already have so much in common.
- I'm sort of an awkward person, but I was like,
oh, he seems real receptive to that so that's good.
I'm a former nanny. - Mm-hmm.
- I write poetry and sometimes I make anal porn.
(Reece laughs)
- What kind of a nanny?
(all laughing)
- Different ages. - Sure, great.
I respect that very much. - I'm very nurturing.
- I need some nurturing, so that sounds great.
Thank you so much for coming.
Appreciate it. - Happy to be here.
- Grant, it's your very own "Bachelor."
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. (group cheers and claps)
All righty.
- But because we only have one day to do a whole season-
- Yeah. - We gotta do it pretty fast.
- We gotta, hey, I'm always happy to do it fast.
(group laughs)
- I want you to choose carefully.
- Sure. - Because whoever makes it
to the end of the day is going to win
an all-expenses paid weekend trip with you to Cabo, Mexico.
- Oh my God! (group laughing)
- The stakes are real.
- I know what's about to happen.
- (laughs) I'm sure you do.
- You're gonna make me eliminate
some of these nice people, aren't you?
What's gonna be tough for me with the whole game,
I have a real people-pleaser instinct,
and I have to tell people no a lot
so it's a real character battle within me right now.
- Grant, I have here...
- Okay. - Eight roses.
Which means that two of these players.
- Two?
- Are getting eliminated immediately.
- Oh my God!
- I want you to call them up by name one by one
to collect a rose for who you would like
to keep in the game.
The first person you give a rose to is the chemistry rose,
and the chemistry rose means the person
you're feeling the most chemistry with immediately.
Do you have a sense of who this person is?
- I do. (tender music)
- Would you call them up by name, Grant?
- Delaney. - Really?
- Oh!
- You know...
I've seen your TikToks.
(group shouts) (Sam laughing)
- It is day 10 of scrolling through LA Hinge until I find
and match with Dropout TV's Grant Anthony O'Brien.
It is day 11 of going on LA Hinge
until I find a hypothetically 6'9'' Grant Anthony O'Brien.
- Sam! - Listen, I wasn't sure.
And I didn't think so.
- I started this whole TikTok thing
because my roommate was like,
"Hey, watch True Facts About Grant Anthony O'Brien."
And that was the first thing I ever watched.
- Right off the bat, Grant caught syphilis
in January of this year.
- That's true. It's the disease that killed Al Capone.
And I've had it twice because I like to Al Ca-bone.
- And I went, "Well, guess I'm gonna go after this one."
- She seems fun.
If there's one thing that flatters me,
it's constant attention.
So Delaney, I would like to offer you the chemistry rose.
- [Sam] Wow! - Thank you so much.
- You're very welcome.
I do have to say about Delaney's TikToks,
if anyone else is thinking about doing something similar,
folks, my DMs are open.
It's not tough to find me.
- Grant, who would you like to offer the next rose to?
- Abel. (warm guitar music)
- Wow.
- You came out first, and I didn't know what was happening,
and I feel like I probably could have given you
a better introduction if I was more prepped.
- I could have given you so much more.
- [Sam] Grant, number three.
- Ryan. - Oh.
I will accept.
- Grant, who is going to be the recipient
of rose number four?
Yeah, go for it. Yeah, take a pan.
Yeah, absolutely.
- Definitely looking at name tags so I can remember.
(warm instrumental music)
Reece. - Oh, oh wow, oh wow. (laughs)
This is surprising. Hi.
I'm excited to get to know him more.
Obviously he's quirky, he's funny.
But on a one-on-one level,
yeah, I wanna get to know him and see what's up.
Well, thank you so much. I'll see you at fantasy suite.
- Absolutely.
- Congratulations. - Yay!
- Peyton. - [Sam] Peyton.
- Peyton, you're the tallest.
(group laughing) - Thank you.
- Phoenix. (warm instrumental music)
- Hi. - Phoenix,
I'm curious about your pornography.
(group laughing)
And so I offer you this rose in hopes of finding out more.
- I appreciate his lack of judgment.
- Two roses left.
- I don't like it. - [Sam] I know, I know.
- I don't like it 'cause they all seem great.
- They all seem great, I agree.
- And I don't know anything about them.
- Of course not. It's terrible that we have to do this.
Would you believe "The Bachelor" pretty much does this?
- No, I don't believe it. - Toxic show.
(dramatic music) - Madison.
Madison, a moment ago I thought you were wearing boots
that went over your knees. (group laughing)
And I see now that you've come closer that I'm wrong,
but it's too late to not give you this rose.
(group laughing)
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Final rose, Grant.
(Grant sighs) (dramatic instrumental music)
- Zach.
(tender music) - I'm honored to be last.
I was the last person to get a rose,
which I'm not internalizing at all so I feel very confident
that I bring something to Grant's table.
- Zach, I've decided that there are two people
that are wearing glasses
and that's the only criteria I could think of
to pass someone off.
Here is a rose. - Thank you, thank you.
- When I first met Grant, I knew we would be great friends.
I did not feel a romantic connection with him, and I think
he also did not feel a romantic connection with me hence...
- When Grant didn't give me the rose my first thought was,
"What are the prizes on the table?"
- Now players, you were warned. Adwin, good news.
That means you get first pick at the prize pile.
Here at "Game Changer," we like to make things interesting
even for the voted-off players.
- I'm gonna go with the...
Ooh. - [Sam] Ooh.
- I'm gonna go with the AirPod Max.
- [Sam] Hell yeah. - Ooh.
- Lovely meeting you.
I am sorry. - Don't be sorry.
- That this is what I've been asked to do, but here we are.
- I love this for you. - Well, great.
- Have a great day. - Bye.
Oh, I'll see you in a second. (group laughing)
- [Sam] Same assignment.
- [Rachel] Hi. - Hi.
- [Rachel] Bye. - Hey...
(group laughing)
- Oh my God, you weren't lying. These are good gifts.
- That's what I'm saying!
- Read them out. - No.
You guys have roses. (group laughing)
- You got the best gift of all, my company.
- That is true if I get a private moment with you.
- I picked my present. - What'd you get?
- What is it, Rachel?
- It's a gold-plated weed grinder.
(Sam laughing) (group cheering)
- Do you smoke? - Yeah.
- I wish I hadn't kicked you off.
- Oh!
- I love you guys. - Lovely to meet you.
- Bye-bye!
- Grant, I am going to ask you to select one
of these remaining eight
to head back on to lover's patio with.
- Oh, God. - For a private conversation.
- Okay. - In order so that you
might get to know each other a little better.
- Sure. - Who would you like to pick?
- Well, Ryan just asked for one.
I feel like it'd be inappropriate
if I didn't offer it to Ryan.
Ryan. - Oh!
- Then you and Ryan will head back there in a moment.
With those of you staying on stage with us,
we are going to play a little game
in the interest of efficiency.
Now, that game is going to be run
by a small council of friends
that we've brought in to help you decide
who should be left at the end of the day.
Introducing now your council, Jess and Ally.
- Hi, hi. - Oh, hi.
- Hi!
- Now Grant, the game we are gonna play in your absence
is a little game called Out of 10.
Basically how it works is,
we're gonna be showing these remaining players
some tweets of yours, and they're gonna be telling us
how much they agree or disagree with your statements.
- Oh boy. - Wow.
- On a scale from one to 10. - Oh boy.
- Sometimes I just say things, okay?
Sometimes I just say them and I don't necessarily...
It's not necessarily- - Big weed gummy guy.
Big weed gummy guy in the middle of the night.
- Yeah, yeah!
- So Grant and Ryan, if you could please make your ways
to lover's patio for a bit of a tete-a-tete.
- Ooh. - I'm game.
- When I tweet I, you know, it's...
The point is to be opinionated. All right.
- You don't have to explain.
Nobody- - I do, though.
- [Ally] Have fun on lover's patio.
- Oh wow, it's the CollegeHumor patio,
just decorated a little bit differently, wow.
- When I'm chosen to head out to lover's patio, I mean,
I'm shocked 'cause I thought that was gonna be Delaney,
and that girl's mad at me, just so you know.
She's coming for me. (laughs)
- So, Ryan. - Yes.
- Where are you from? - Everywhere and nowhere.
- Those are my two favorite places.
- So, how this game works is-
- Oh, okay. - We are going
to read these Grant tweets. - Oh, incredible.
- One by one, and as we do, I want you to write down
how much you agree or disagree with that statement.
A one is vehemently disagree.
A 10 is wholeheartedly agree.
We're gonna start easy
and then get more and more controversial.
- I love this. - Oh no.
He's a white guy.
You're like, "We're gonna dig up his tweets,"
and I was like, "Oh no." (laughs)
- [Sam] Jess, let's start with you.
- "The best flavor? Fruit Punch."
- Oh. (whimsical music)
- "The best flavor? Fruit Punch."
- At 4:20 PM.
- There we go. (group laughing)
- I just wanna say- - Unreal. (laughs)
- Incredible, let's reveal your answers, please.
- [Ally] Oh my God. - [Sam] Wow!
- [Jess] Wow! - [Sam] Reece, a 10?
- 100%.
- I wanna hear from the three down there.
- Grape. - Grape?
- Of all the flavors! - Okay, I-
- It's safe, it's safe!
- So is fruit punch! - As a member of the
LGBT community, your taste is trash.
You need to start drinking different drinks at the bar.
- What's yours?
- Like a turmeric kiwi or... (group laughing)
I come from lesbianism, okay? We use herbs!
- You like lavender, don't you?
- Yeah, I love lavender. - Oh I do love lavender, yeah.
- [Sam] Come on!
- Okay, I wanna hear from the ones, though.
- [Sam] Yes, let's hear from the ones.
- Yeah, I wanna- - Hard no.
- Yeah, fruit punch is kinda childish.
- It's like someone is so hot on a date
and then they pull out a cotton candy vape
and you're like... (group laughing)
I have to go.
- You know who else is childish...
- Yeah Grant, this is Grant's whole thing.
He is an old man and a baby so he is very geriatric
but he's also like, very young.
- The two hottest things you can be.
(group laughing)
- Yes, what are your pronouns?
- Right here, noman.
- Lovely. - That's my umbrella term.
- Very cool. - What about you?
- He, him. - Okay.
- What brought you to LA?
- I booked a film for a Lifetime movie, a thriller
so that brought me. - That's great.
- That brought me back and then I stayed.
- I'm available.
If you wanna hire me for one of your films,
I'll come and do it, that'd be fun.
I can, you know, if I-
- My mom's a huge Lifetime fan.
- Well look, more things in common.
- Look at this, look at this.
- The time on lover's patio with Ryan was great.
They're a super interesting person.
Love that hairy chest, but that's a whole other thing.
I mean, is that what we were talking about?
What did you ask? (Sam laughing)
- "People who tweet, 'Can't say anything yet
but big news coming' are bragging twice."
(group laughing)
- And show me. (smooth music)
- [Ally] Yeah. - Wow!
- [Ally] Yeah, wow. - 100!
- Wow! - Tens across the board!
- Someone take a photo. This is incredible.
- Because real badasses move in silence.
- Yes.
- I'm sad Grant isn't here to see this.
I think he would love... - Yes.
- His ego would be... (Ally laughs)
- [Sam] 100%.
- Wait, there's a little extra writing on this one. What is?
- I said, "Put them to death."
- [Jess And Ally] Oh!
- I've been in LA for about, gosh, six years now.
- Oh. - Live alone.
I can't have roommates again.
I'm very bad at having roommates.
I was always the worst roommate in the apartment.
- Why? - I'm messy.
I don't like to do the dishes.
I think that it's bad.
- Put it in the dishwasher.
- I would love if my place had that.
Do you have a dishwasher?
- I do in my apartment. - Can I come and use it?
Can I bring some dishes over to your house?
- Sure, sure.
- "Halloween parties are great
if you like parties but wish they had homework."
(group laughing) - Oof.
- This is an easy one for me. - Reece.
A three and a two and a one.
Wow. - [Ally] Oh my God.
- We are all over the place here.
- Wow, do you love Halloween?
- I love Halloween. - [Ally] Yeah.
- It's so much fun. I feel like I make it a week-long thing.
- We love...
- What else do you enjoy besides being messy?
(both laugh)
- I, oh God, oh no. I'm gonna say it.
This is terrible. I can't believe I'm about to say this.
I like roller coasters. I think they're fun.
I have a really good time. Do you-
- But why do you think that's nerdy?
- Oh, it's terribly nerdy, especially-
- I don't think that's nerdy.
Do you like the front, the back, what?
Where do you like to sit? - Well, the back
has the best airtime because you get pulled over the hills
rather than pushed over the hills.
You get the little bit of lift which is great fun.
- Yes, yes.
- And if you're on something by,
say, Rocky Mountain Construction or B&M
you're gonna have all those designed moments of airtime.
(Ryan laughs) Oh God, oh God!
- "If you eat in a restaurant,
your waiter could set you on fire on purpose
and you still have to tip them 20% minimum.
It's simply non-negotiable."
(Jess gasps) - [Sam] No! (laughs)
- [Ally] Wait, this is jarring!
- [Sam] Incredible! - [Ally] Okay, look at how-
- [Sam] Incredible.
- Wait, who here has worked food service?
- [Sam] Across the board. - [Ally] Okay, okay okay.
Then I get where you're coming from. Me too.
- Me and my ex-husband used to love riding roller coasters.
- You have an ex-husband? - Yes.
It was a learning experience. - I have to imagine.
I would imagine, yes, it would be.
- Yeah, on paper everyone says like,
"Oh, you guys were the perfect..."
I was like, "Eh."
- My big problem in relationships
is I look for things that are good on paper first.
But it's like, well yeah, you can check a lot of boxes
and then if something's not right it's not right.
- Yeah.
He seems easy.
It was like, we didn't have to search for things
to talk about so that's what intrigues me about him.
It's just like, oh, okay, I wanna know more.
I don't play by strategy.
I just be me and that seems to be working right now
so I'm just gonna continue to do, do, do, and do. (laughs)
- [Sam] I love that, Ryan.
- "The only people I relate to on any level emotionally
are the ones who took Accutane as kids."
(group laughing)
- Wit is my number one turn-on so like,
he's got rapid fire and I like that,
and that's a really good place to start for me.
- [Ally] Oh. - [Sam] Look at that.
All over the mark.
- Does that say, I respect the journey or I regret?
- I respect the journey. - Oh, I respect.
We love, I get that.
- I just want a theme going on.
I've done tens for all of these.
I'm just a big people pleaser,
and I just wanna please Grant.
The first three were actual tens
and I'm just like, you know what?
This is like a theme going. - Why not at this point?
- You are a bottom, honey. (laughs)
- [Ally] Wow!
- [Jess] "The most boring people in the whole world?
(Sam laughing)
Dog owners and it's not close."
- Now, this one- - [Ally] Oh my God!
- I am aware is going to be very controversial.
- Wow! - Wow, yep.
- It is close. (group laughing)
- Yeah. - You know, my favorite thing-
- How dare you. - Is that he wrote this
right before January 6th.
- He was on his way to the Capitol.
(group laughing)
- I keep hearing bursts of laughter from inside.
- So do I.
- And I keep getting distracted
'cause I know they're laughing at me.
- Well, you said, no, your jokes wouldn't land.
- I, well, okay, that's right. - Sounds like they're landing.
- Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, listen to me killing in there.
That's great. That's incredible.
- [Sam] Yeah, let's see that.
(group laughing) Oh, well...
- This is particularly triggering for me, yes.
- [Sam] Yes. - Wow.
We've got a five with love dogs
so right down the middle but you do love dogs.
- Yeah, but dog owners won't talk about anything else
but their dog. - Yes, totally.
- It's like when people have a baby too.
It's like, okay. - [Ally] Yes.
- After the game I liked him more
because we have the same level of judginess.
I'm very particular, but I usually like to keep it to myself
'cause no one likes a complainer, right?
Except other complainers.
- "My Spotify Wrapped said, 'You use casual intimacy
as a crutch because your avoidant tendencies
make you afraid to open up to emotional partners
so you meet those needs in other ways.'"
- (laughs) What? Interesting.
- Three, two, one.
- [Jess] (gasps) Oh, we're down to the wire with that one.
- Wow, Abel. - [Ally] Wow!
- [Sam] And Zach, interesting.
- [Ally] Same girl, same? - Same girl, same.
- Yeah, we've got a question mark.
- I don't quite get it. (group laughing)
- Okay, okay, we love the honesty. We got a one.
- I am a one.
- You form deep connections with people.
- Yeah. (group laughing)
- Oh my God, I loved that. - Yeah.
- See, I just listen to a lot of Phoebe Bridgers
so I assume that my Spotify Wrapped
would actually say that. - Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, wait, at 100%.
- Sometimes especially when you're like,
jaded in the dating scene and you see someone
that has a dark twisted side of them like you do
you're just kinda drawn to it.
- "Happy Pride to all of my queer family
except for the ones that grew up rich."
(group laughing)
- [Sam] This one's really interesting.
- Wow! - Oh, oh, okay.
- [Sam] Okay. - Wow.
Is this, we've got a six. What does a six mean?
- I'm just straight
so I feel like saying 10 on this is not my place.
- Is this your Kinsey scale? - Yeah.
(group laughing) Six is an ally 10.
- Yeah, exactly.
- One more.
- "Happy Bi Visibility Day. I'm bi.
It's my sincere hope, today and every day,
that we as a community
will one day succeed in our shared goal
of turning everybody else into bisexuals."
(group laughing)
- I'm sticking with the ally six.
(group laughing) - A sensitive ally six.
- We've got a 10 written in the English language.
- [Jess] Oh. - [Sam] Wow.
- Well Ryan, it was so lovely talking to you.
- Yeah, it was nice talking to you as well.
- Absolutely, I think we have to go back in
and see how badly I was humiliated just now.
- Right. - Would you care to join me?
- Yeah, let's do it. - Let's do it, excellent.
You know Sam, I gotta tell you.
When the day started I was surprised. I said, "My goodness."
As things have gone on I've realized this is an opportunity.
I've decided to embrace it.
- [Jess] Ryan sat down, they smelled so good.
- Ryan was very nice. How was everyone else?
- So as far as people, like, agreeing with you,
like, Madison hard disagreed with every single part
and was just kind of like, "Mm, no."
Reece, white shirt?
- [Jess] But he flat out said,
"I'm intentionally agreeing with everything
because I'm agreeable."
- Um, obsessed.
- [Jess] I would say one of these two men.
- I think I can work with that.
- Now Grant, have you decided who you would like
to leave the competition by giving a friendship rose?
- Oh.
- I have.
- Who is going to be the recipient of that rose?
(emotionally manipulative sentimental music)
- Madison.
- [Group] Aw.
- It's all right. I'm mostly into women.
(group laughing and clapping)
I think when I saw some of the tweets
I started to think maybe we weren't a good match.
I followed him on Instagram. - [Sam] Ah.
- He didn't follow me back. Strike number one.
I was like, and I'm the verified one.
You're not even verified.
- What did you take? - I took the Polaroid camera.
- Ooh. - Oh, hell yeah.
- Thank you so much, Madison. Take some Polaroids.
- Bye. - [Sam] Great job, Madison.
- Bye. (group clapping)
(energetic music)
- Grant and suitors, it is time for your first speed date.
Grant, if you would take a seat, please.
Here's how this is going to work.
Grant, you have in front of you there a gold button.
Do you see it? - Oh God, yes.
- Whenever you press that button,
whoever is sitting in that seat across from you
will switch with the next person in line.
- That seems so mean. - This is your opportunity
to try to get to know these folks as quick as possible.
Reece, if you would go ahead and take a seat opposite Grant.
- Oh, this is interesting. Hi, Grant.
- Hi, Reece. - How are you?
- I'm- - And 10 minutes on the clock.
- I have 10 minutes with everyone?
- No. - 10 minutes total.
- Yes. - Okay.
- And a three and a two and a one, go.
- Hi Grant, you want a breadstick?
- Sure, thank you. - They're delicious.
- Are they? - Cheers.
- Cheers, so I got a question. - What's up?
- How do you get your arms to do that?
- [Reece] To do what?
- Look that way. (Reece mimics blowing balooon)
I mean, it works.
- Every morning just like a daily routine.
- Yeah. - Well, where are you from?
- I grew up in Columbus, Ohio.
- I grew up in Katy, Texas. Think "Friday Night Lights."
- Mm-hmm. - That's where I grew up.
- Full eyes can't...
(Sam chuckles)
(buzzer buzzes) Just for myself.
- That wasn't my... - [Grant] Just for myself.
- [Sam] That's it. (group laughing)
- Hi, Grant. - Hi, Delaney.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- How's your breadstick? That looks lovely.
- It's great. It's lighter than I thought it would be.
- That is grape juice. - Yeah, this is not wine.
- (laughs) But how you doing? - It's weird, I'm having-
- Is this not a normal day at work for you?
- You know what's bad is it kind of is now,
like doing stuff here it is basically a normal day at work.
You are from... - Tennessee.
- Nashville? - No.
- Memphis. - Okay, other one, Knoxville.
- Well, I don't know the difference.
What's your favorite thing about Knoxville?
- The biscuits. LA biscuits are not the same.
(buzzer buzzes) It's, I understand.
(group laughing)
- Hello, Peyton. Remind me where you're from.
- I am from Hawaii.
- That's a cool answer. - It's a great answer.
- I have heard that there is a part of one of the islands,
and I wouldn't venture a guess as to which,
that has a lot of cockroaches.
- There is. I hate cockroaches.
- We have so much in common. - I'll tell you a fun fact.
I was born in the same hospital as President Obama.
- That is a fun fact.
- And we're both mixed, so that's fun.
- Yeah, and he was almost a great president.
- Almost, very close, and so was I.
- That's true. That's absolutely the case.
What would be the first thing you'd do as president?
- Paris Agreement. I would ban four-in-one shampoo.
And then you could only play college sports
on the weekends.
- Mm-hmm, well, I'm a big college football fan
(buzzer buzzes) so I'm gonna go ahead
and give that one right there. (group laughing)
OH.
- Let's unpack it. Okay, fruit punch, no dogs.
Intimate right away but not romantically, what?
- Oh, well no. I'll have sex but I won't be intimate.
- Well, cheers to that, then.
- What if I were to get trapped in a relationship?
God, the nightmare. - God forbid.
- How do you feel about college sports?
- I know squat about it. - Mm-hmm.
- You could teach me already. - That's great.
- So much. - That's excellent.
If you were going to play a college sport, what would it be?
- Rugby? That seems like a, it seems like a...
- That's not un-hot. I'm not gonna, okay.
- It seems like a healthy form of therapy, which I'm not in.
Apparently everyone else is so...
(buzzer buzzes) (group laughing)
- Hello, Phoenix. - Hi, how are you?
- I'm doing great. How are you?
- I'm doing great.
- Where are you from? - I'm from Chicago.
- I've been to Wheaton.
Is Wheaton a place near where you're from?
- (laughs) Kinda sorta, close enough.
- Do you know my friend Kyle from Wheaton?
- I mean, I might. - He's great.
- I fucked a lot of people back home so it's possible.
- That sounds like Kyle, for sure.
That sounds like something that Kyle would probably enjoy.
What brought you to LA?
- I moved here because I was sick
of the six-month Chicago winters and I wanted a new chapter
but also because I had already started working
in the adult business,
and they have a lot of pornography here.
- They certainly do. - And I went for it.
- Because I really like winter.
(buzzer buzzes) (group laughing)
Hi. - Hi.
- Zach. - Grant.
- Lovely to have you at the red table talk.
- Oh, yeah, yeah. I love that we're matching.
That's a good start.
We could take like, engagement photos if you want.
- I don't know if you were listening,
but I love getting trapped in a relationship.
That's something that I...
- Same, super avoidant. - Sure.
- What's your longest relationship?
- A year and a half.
- Okay, that's kind of long. - I agree.
- Were you guys open or closed?
- We were closed. What was your longest relationship?
- One year, but it was like a COVID survival thing, I think.
We like, hunkered down, just like ate,
watched movies and made each other calm.
- Oh God, the pandemic's such a bummer.
(group laughing)
- Long time no see, I guess. - I know it. How's the silk?
- It's dry now, but I like staying wet.
(Grant chuckles) (group laughing)
What turns you on? - A good smile.
- [Ryan] Okay. - I like a good smile.
What turns you on? - Integrity.
- Ugh. (buzzer buzzes)
(group laughs)
- Grant, I'm gonna be honest.
I have four packs of Plan B at my house
that expire in a year so I'm on a very short timeframe.
- Well, share those. Time's a-wasting for everybody.
- How do you feel about a threesome?
- That's hot. - Big fan.
We could keep talking about this.
(buzzer buzzes)
- Rank these four things. - Mm-hmm.
- Boobs, butthole, penis, vagina.
- Rankings give me anxiety. (buzzer buzzes)
- How do you think this question
will affect LeBron's legacy?
- LeBron is a great Ohioan.
His legacy is intact. (buzzer buzzes)
- Oh my God, these breadsticks are to die.
What's your favorite movie?
(buzzer buzzes) - Chill on the breadsticks.
- What makes you tick? - A clock.
I can't have you look at me anymore after that!
Speed dating at dinner had a lot of the same problems
that actual dating over dinner has
where the first couple of minutes
are questions that won't tell you anything.
The question, where are you from
will never have an interesting answer.
Like, if you ever see Sam and ask him where he's from,
he's from, um... (pensive music)
God, Sam, where are you from?
- How dare!
That is your friendship rose.
I'll give you a minute
to swallow your breadstick if you need it.
(Delaney laughs)
Grant, who, based on what just occurred,
is going to receive that rose?
- Oh God, Sam. - [Sam] I know.
(group laughing)
- [Grant] This is tough. - Stress breadstick.
(Sam laughing)
- [Grant] There are a lot of factors to consider here.
- [Sam] Sure.
- Oh, oh. - I know, I know.
I'm sorry, Grant. It's how the game works.
(melodramatic music)
- Sam, I'd like to give this friendship rose...
(melodramatic music continues)
- [Sam] Next time on "Game Changer: The Bachelor,"
steamy encounters, shocking revelations,
and a slew of surprise guests.
Who will get the boot and who will win Grant's heart?
(intense dramatic music)
