- Previously on "Game Changer."
Grant got an opportunity to find love in one day.
Who will walk away a winner and who is about to go home?
(dramatic music)
Grant, who is going to receive that rose?
- Oh God, Sam. - [Sam] I know.
(suitors laughing)
- [Grant] This is tough. - Stress breadstick.
- [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.
(dramatic music)
- Sam, I'd like to give this friendship rose...
(tense emotional music)
To Peyton.
- [Sam] Peyton, if you would come up and collect your rose.
- [Peyton] Thank you. - Peyton, I appreciate you.
- Thank you. It was almost a pleasure.
(suitors laughing)
When I received the yellow rose, I was kind of excited
because yellow is my favorite color,
but you know, I was picking up friendship vibes,
and he's really married to the fact that he's from Ohio,
and that seems kind of like a red flag to me.
- Please tell me what you pick because I am curious.
- The bonsai tree. - [Sam] The bonsai tree.
- The bonsai. - Fantastic choice. (claps)
You've been spectacular, Peyton.
- Thank you. - Hope to see you again.
Good job. (suitors clapping)
Grant, I know I just made you give out some bad news,
but now you're gonna give out some good news.
- Okay. - This rose...
- Uh-huh. - Is for whoever you want
to join you on the patio next for some private time.
- You understand how that's actually
giving more people bad news, right?
(suitors laughing) All right.
- Question is, who is gonna get that rose?
(tense music)
- Abel. - Oh!
- [Grant] I have a rose.
- Incredible. Abel, do me a favor.
Take that rose, go back to your seat for now.
Grant, while you and Abel are getting
to know each other back there,
we're gonna play another game out here on stage-
- Oh, good! - With your council.
Jess, as you know, had to take off.
- Took off.
- So we had no choice but to replace her.
I would like to invite your new members of the council
out onto the stage now, please.
(suitors clapping)
- Yeah, okay. Yeah, all right, fine.
Hi, hi. Nice to see you. - Hello.
- So when Nick Kocher came out, my heart sank a little bit
because there's no one in the world
who knows more about me than Nick Kocher.
- One of Grant's best friends in the world, Nick Kocher,
also happens to be responsible for writing certain episodes
of "Breaking News" about Grant.
- First things first, since his mid-twenties
Grant's been taking Viagra. (laughs)
- Yes, but it's technically a cheaper off-brand
of Viagra called Sildenafil.
I buy it off an Indian website,
and the pills arrive loose in an envelope.
- That can't be true!
- Now, while Ally and Nick
get to know these remaining suitors a little better,
let's send you and Abel off to Lover's Patio.
- Great, terrific. - [Ally] Cute!
(suitors clapping) - All right, well...
- Thank you very much, my friend.
- Bye, everyone. - [Ally] Bye!
- So welcome, this is just a little spot
I like to hang out in. - Oh great, I love it.
- Yeah, isn't this nice?
- Grant, I know we just met. Will you join me?
Just close your eyes. - Sure.
- (exhales softly) And we're in Cabo.
(Grant chuckles) (laughs) We're in Cabo.
- Nick, thank you so much for joining us.
- Happy to be here on Quibi. (group laughing)
- We're going to play a game of red flags.
How this works is, I'm gonna show you a red flag
that belongs to Grant.
If you think it's a red flag for you personally,
please raise your red paddle.
If ever there was an expert in Grant O'Brien's red flags,
I thought it would be you. - Mm-hmm.
- Let's start with you, though, Ally. What's first up?
- First red flag, is into football.
- What do we think? Red flag for anybody?
- Yeah, I'll take that.
- Oh, there you go, Zach, yeah.
- I'll be brave and say I hate football.
- Yeah. (laughs) (Sam laughing)
- I've just never met someone who loves football
that I have loved, do you know what I mean?
- [Sam] Yes. - Is that a red flag
or just a compatibility thing? - That's a great question.
I'm still gonna stick with the red flag.
- Have you ever been to Cabo? - I haven't and you know what,
if I win, then I could be the translator.
Hook it up, some margaritas- - I'm not gonna lie to you.
That's a really solid pitch.
I could truly just think about logistics here.
- Okay, red flag number two, Grant has an Android.
- Oh! (Sam laughing)
- [Nick] So that's a lot of green-
- All those text bubbles will be green.
I was just gonna say that. - The photos and videos
aren't gonna go through correctly.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- All my nudes are gonna be pixelated.
This is a big issue. (suitors laughing)
- If you use WhatsApp and send a video through-
- No! - That's a whole other-
- We're not in Europe. (suitors laughing)
- Ally, back to you.
- Thinks astrology is bullshit.
- I have let on, as folks have been talking astrology
all day, Grant does not think astrology is worth hay.
Ooh, a white paddle.
- What does that mean? - It's sort of not...
(suitors laughing) It's like a-
- That wasn't an option! - It's a halvesy thing
like, 'cause I- - [Sam] Sure.
- You take astrology, you know, with a grain of sand,
but I do believe some of it is true.
- I don't need someone I'm dating to be like, all in.
- Exactly. - Or like,
into following their horoscope, but the thing is,
if it's a modality someone is using
to better understand themselves, why are you knocking that?
- You could say the same thing about religion, right?
- Mm... - Well...
(Ally laughing)
- Are people into astrology starting wars?
- Not yet. - [Sam] Not yet, great point.
- Leo versus Scorpio, we're gonna take over a country now.
- Where are you in the birth order?
- I'm second child. - Okay.
People who are very into astrology...
- Mm-hmm.
- I think birth order is much more telling
in that astrology is, you know...
- It's very telling. - Lies.
And birth order is actually a thing.
- I get it, yeah.
- Next up, Nick. - Grant has a messy car.
And I will say this is the understatement
of all understatements. - Yes.
- Grant has a landfill that happens to be surrounded
by a Nissan Sentra. (group laughing)
- [Sam] I see one, two, three, four, five red flags.
- That is a royal flush. - [Sam] Yeah.
- I thought everything in the red flag game was kosher
except the messy car.
I like giving a look whenever we go out somewhere, you know?
So I can't sit on anything dirty. Oh. (laughs)
- Likes weird foods.
Yet another understatement - Can we get clarification?
- Grant will sometimes house an entire bag of spinach
and call it dinner. - [Ally] Mm-hmm.
- Grant has been known to eat hog dogs and cream cheese.
- [Ally] Mm-hmm.
- Well, that sounds fairly good.
- And Grant is a defender of cinnamon candy.
- [Ally] Oh! - Yeah, oh, no, no.
I love cinnamon candy.
- If the restaurant serves an egg cream,
he will be ordering it.
- [Ally] He will be ordering it.
- Red flag for anyone? - I don't think, no.
- [Ally] Wow, we love- - Yes!
- I put jelly on cream cheese. - I can't trust this man
to have like, a meal ready for me at any point.
- I will say, he is like a really good cook.
He has like, some great-
- Yes, that is true. Green flag.
- Meals in his back pocket but-
- Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
- Exactly, exactly. (suitors laughing)
- Circle of trust. - Sure.
- No shame. - Of course.
- What is your fetish?
- Oh, God. (laughs)
- (snaps fingers) First thing that your mind goes to.
- I mean, I have an answer. - I know.
- I mean, edging is great. I mean, it's so good.
I'm looking around at the producers for approval.
- Like, can we say that? - It's like, oh, it's great.
What about you?
- I have a thing for armpits. - Hm.
- I love armpits, yeah. - Great, great.
- [Nick] Is pretty kinky. - Go on.
- Grant and I lived together for seven years
in an apartment with paper-thin walls.
I once heard him having sex with a drag queen
who screamed at the top of their lungs,
"Of all the dicks I've taken, yours is by far the biggest!"
- Oh my God. - And then, and then...
(suitors laughing)
Grant responded in the same voice he uses to discuss traffic
he goes, "Well, it's a pretty big dick."
- Oh my God! (suitors laughing)
- He doesn't change the rhythm
or cadence of his sex voice at all.
- I actually knew he had a big dick from the start.
I have like, a radar of sorts.
- [Sam] Sure, a dick-dar. - A dick-dar as it's known
in the science community.
- Yes!
- Sam, where are the green flag paddles?
- Yes!
- Yeah, there really, this was just like a story
about how big his dick is. - Yeah, yeah.
- Skinny boys will have a third leg sometimes.
- But not always, though. Not always.
- It's a kickstand- - Not always,
but I've seen enough of 'em!
- I guess that's something people are interested in.
If anyone asks, it's pretty big. I don't bring it up.
- Next up...
- He goes elsewhere to poop.
- Famously. - No, 'cause I do the same.
- I do, too. - That's fine.
- We just get a house that has guest bathrooms on.
- I like that we're already planning-
- [Delaney] I'm shooting for the stars!
- For the future, Delaney. (suitors laughing)
- It just won't be where the kids poop.
- And now we know why she's on this show.
- Are you submissive or dominant in life?
- I think I'm probably more submissive
than it seems in life.
- And in bed?
- I think I'm probably dominant to make up for that.
- Interesting. - To try and work through
whatever that is. - I'm the same answer, whew!
- I guess we're in trouble here.
- Things are getting heated!
- Next up, Ally.
- [Ally] Has a lot of student loan debt.
- Well that's, I mean, hello, welcome to America.
- [Sam And Ally] Yeah.
- (laughs) This is honest, Zach. This is honest.
- As someone who's paying off their student loan debt,
I would like- - Sure, you would like not-
- To ever look at it again. - [Sam] Yes.
- Yeah, yeah. - That's fair.
- All right, so Cabo, what would we do?
- I love the beach. There's every-
- Do you swim when you're at the beach?
- Yes, I love getting out on the water.
- Okay. - We can skinny dip.
- Absolutely, sure.
It's funny, I have Speedos for swimming laps
and I have my like, show-off Speedos,
and they are not the same. - Yes, of course.
- One is like, this is not for anything.
- Okay, can you describe it to me so I can envision it?
- Has like, a red band at the top.
It's white with navy-blue stripes.
- Ooh.
- Like a sailor's outfit from the '40s.
- Yes. - But shaped like a Speedo.
That's the shape of it. - Hot.
- What would you be wearing in Cabo?
- In Cabo? Same.
I mean, my show-off Speedo was actually a gift.
I came out and it was almost like an initiation.
- When did you come out, if I may ask?
- When I was 22 so eight years ago.
- And you got a Speedo as a present from someone.
- As a gift. - That's nice.
- Here's a juicy one.
Grant once gave 50 people oral in the same night.
- Now, because we've known Grant for a while,
we have some details about this.
- Okay.
- [Sam] It's not like an anecdote
that was sort of like left- - I'm all for that.
- It was at a sex party. - Was it to completion?
Or was he just suck, suck, suck, suck, suck.
- Not to completion. Exactly how you described.
- No one's got that much time. - Down the line.
(suitors laughing)
- I notice there is no red showing here in this group,
but I think that is indicative-
- No slut shaming in this room.
- We're sex positive here, Sam.
- Very sex positive. - Sex positive, baby.
- I think that's indicative of just how cool
this group of people are. - Very sex positive.
- Or just how perfect for Grant.
- Hey, listen. We did our research.
- And we almost have something in common.
Like, he's got me beat. (group laughing)
By like, a little.
- What do you think?
Should we go back inside and see how hard
I got roasted by everybody? - Sure, sure.
(cheerful music)
- Abel made a great pitch for himself
which is that in Cabo, he can translate, like I don't know.
- [Ally] Cutie.
- Could it be the hot porn star?
- [Ally] Yeah. - Who's to say?
It sounded like Zach said there were a lot of red flags?
- But you always have that girl who's super young
and you could just be like,
"You're so sweet, but you're so young."
- Right, okay. - Yep. (claps)
- Grant, who is going home next?
(tender instrumental music)
It's like that moment in suspense in a reality show
where we get like, close-ups of everyone's face
that they're worried while like, too much time goes by
and you're like, "This has gotta be edited."
"Like, there's no chance the pause was that long."
- And it actually is. - And it is that long.
- Do we need more pause?
'Cause I could pause for a long time.
- Nope.
- This rose that signifies friendship
is going to go...
to Zach.
- Oh, I knew it. - Aw.
- My undoing might have been
when I said I hated everything about Grant.
I've learned about the massive dick
just a little too late into the game.
- I thank you for coming. - Oh, I didn't cum.
(suitors laughing)
And just 'cause we're friends doesn't mean we won't have sex
at some point. (Sam gasps)
I stand by that.
- [Ally] Pick a prize. - Good-bye!
- Good-bye, Zach. - Good-bye, you guys.
Oh, the Theragun. - [Sam] Hell yes!
- Save that for when me meet. - Yes!
(cheerful music)
- There are only five suitors left.
That brings us to our next speed date.
- Oh my God! - And for it,
I'd like to invite our resident musician to the stage.
Bradley, would you come out here, please?
- Hi, Bradley. - Hi.
I thought we'd get you in the mood.
- Oh, did you? Well, so what are you...
- (laughs) Wait a second, this is a dancing speed date.
- Oh, great. - Don't worry.
You don't need to show off any rhythm.
It can be a slow dance.
All we're asking for is,
you know, a little bit of physical closeness.
Once again, Reece, I think you're first to go.
- Okay, I love that for me.
- [Sam] Bradley- - Hi.
- Hello. Oh, this is nice. - If you could take us away.
(sensual guitar music) Oh, hell yeah.
- Are you a good slow dancer? - No.
- No? Do you like to dance at all?
- No.
- The dancing challenge was interesting.
You know what, I'm not a big dancer
in public on film sorta guy.
I felt very put on the spot, and I get very bashful,
but I just leaned into the experience.
I like actually looking up into your eyes.
This is actually really comforting for me.
- Well, I'm so glad. That's what they're there for.
- You have beautiful eyes. - You have beautiful eyes.
- Thank you. - Do you like to go dancing?
- I do like to go dancing. - I'll take the next one.
- (laughs) Hello. You are so tall.
- I know, that's my thing.
Delaney, what's the best dance you've ever done?
- I had a friend teach me how to swing dance
back in like, sophomore year of college.
- Do you remember when swing dancing had a comeback?
How old are you?
- I feel like you won't like the answer to this question.
I'm 23. - Hm, I'll take the next one.
- The dancing speed date didn't go great for me
'cause Grant did have to learn that I am 23,
which is 13 years younger than him,
which I came into this knowing that was my fatal flaw
'cause in the real "Bachelor," being 23
would work to my advantage.
- [Ryan] May I just? I wanna come behind.
- Oh, wonderful.
- We're just gonna sway. - Mm-hmm, oh yeah?
- I saw everybody kind of just playing it safe,
and I'm one to just go in.
He went for it.
He's the one that started bumping and grinding on me.
I was like, "Oh, okay, you wanna take it there?"
- Any time I'm out at a club,
I always have to drink before I dance.
- Why is that?
- Because I am very uncomfortable in my body.
- Well look at that. (suitors laughing)
I'm getting you comfortable
in the body-ody-ody-ody. - That's right.
Now my hips are moving in a way that's too much for me.
I'll take the next one, please.
- I am also somewhat awkward in slow dance situations
and had this weird flashback to like,
middle school dances when you're like...
- Oh, look at that. - You do have very nice eyes.
- You have very nice eyes. - Oh, thank you.
- Would you call those blue or green?
- They're actually both. - Hm.
- But I can be whatever you wanna be
on that particular day.
- Mine are actually both as well.
- Oh, we both suck a lot of dick
and we both have blue-green eyes.
- That's great. (Sam laughing)
Do you like to go out dancing?
- Mostly I dance in my kitchen naked by myself
'cause I'm also awkward about dancing in public.
- Do you cook while you're dancing in your kitchen
or is it just the most convenient place to be?
- Sometimes I'm cooking.
Other times I'm just twirling around, a little high.
- Do you also like to get a little high?
- Yeah, yeah. - That's also great.
- That would help me more than drinking
'cause I don't drink.
- Which feels like a weird time
to say I'll take the next one,
but I also have to get through everyone.
- I had to step my game up, seeing everybody else's moves.
So you like smoking? - I do like to smoke.
- Oh. (group laughing)
Oh. - That's right.
Do you like to dance? - I love dancing.
I don't need to drink but I do love-
- Pitch me on dancing.
What's the whole deal with it 'cause I don't understand.
- Whatever makes you feel good.
- Sure. You know what makes me feel good?
Sitting quietly. - Me too when I'm high.
- Sure, well, that makes me feel very, very good.
What's your favorite strain to smoke?
- Oh, sativa is my go-to, I-
- I'll take the next one, please.
- [Sam] Oh! (Delaney laughs)
- You said you got no rhythm? Look.
- I've got great rhythm. I just don't have the moves.
- That wasn't how you do that, but that's close enough.
- I'll take the next one.
- Why am I holding your waist? - You know what? It's great.
Here's a fun fact about me.
My natural waist is four feet in the air.
(all laughing)
- Hey. - Oh!
I like being led when I'm dancing,
so Reece, very good at leading the dance.
Yeah, I'm a sub on the dance floor and a dom in the bedroom.
Eh, I'm a switch in the bedroom, but you wouldn't think so.
- Spin me around. Oh, this is nice.
- Isn't it? - Hi.
- Oh wow you feel really good.
- [Delaney] Okay! - You look really good.
(suitors laughing)
Mm. (suitors laughing)
- Jesus! - Fuck yeah!
That's how the game is played!
- This is unfair.
- Awkward in front of everyone.
But you know, you kinda forget everyone else.
Everyone disappears in his arms.
- [Sam] Grant... (Grant groans)
- Oh my God.
- [Sam] I have terrible, terrible news.
- Oh, God.
(suspenseful music)
- I... (sighs)
- I know, they're all lovely people. I'm with you.
At this point, I wish none of them would go.
Grant, who is going to be the recipient
of that friendship rose?
- Sam, I am going to give this friendship rose
(tense music)
To Ryan. - Okay.
- [Sam] Ryan.
- You know, it just wasn't meant to be.
- This is because you would make me look bad
if we ever danced together. (Sam laughing)
- Mm, I'm gonna take the candle.
- Thank you, Ryan. - Thank you.
- [Sam] Great job. - Thank you for-
- Bye, Ryan. (suitors clapping)
- Now it's so hard. - I know!
- This is so hard now! - I know!
All is not bad news, Grant.
The next question is, who would you like
to take out onto the patio, and I should say this, last.
- Ooh!
(tender instrumental music)
Oh my God. - [Sam] I know.
- Sam, this rose is going to go to Phoenix.
- Ah! - Oh.
- [Sam] Grant and Phoenix. - Nice work, Madam.
- [Phoenix] I wasn't expecting that. Thank you.
- You're welcome. - I'm very honored.
- In the meanwhile, Grant,
I am gonna call upon your council once again
to lead us in a final game.
Council, could you broach the stage, please.
There's an additional member of our council joining us now.
Grant's mom, Debbie O'Brien. - Yeah, okay.
(suitors laugh and clap) Yeah.
- Yay! - Hi.
- Debbie, not once but twice over. Thank you so much.
Also, what phenomenal style.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
- With the remaining three players who are here,
Debbie is gonna be leading us in a game of mom questions.
The kind of things parents ask-
- Oh. - Their children's mates.
- And I'm not gonna be here? (Nick and Ally laughing)
This is crazy!
- Grant and Phoenix, the patio is yours.
- This'll be certainly good for me psychologically.
(Ally laughing) (cheerful music)
(cozy instrumental music)
So yeah, so this is just where I like
to hang out with people in my exercise bathing suit.
You know what, and now when I have stepped into it,
it's colder than I thought it was.
- It's slightly colder.
- Okay, yep, it's a little chilly. Whew, boy!
Oh, God. - [Phoenix] You just...
- Hi. - Okay.
- So... - [Phoenix] We're fine.
- How you doing? (laughs) - We're fine.
We could huddle for warmth. - Sure.
- If we're gonna be in the pool.
- I am sorry, that's just fine.
- I'll steal some warmth from you.
- Perfect. - Ooh, oh God.
- Oh, did it work, stealing the warmth?
- A little bit. Then I had like, a shudder. (laughs)
I was freezing. (laughs)
Like, I'm not sure how my voice even sounded during that.
I was like, "I'm so cold," like that.
But it gave me an excuse to huddle and, you know,
like I came here for contact.
I mean, connection.
- Debbie, I've got some questions for you here.
- Ooh.
- Players, please do me a favor of answering as honestly
as you feel comfortable on camera.
- Always. - First up, Debbie.
- First question. This is important for mothers to know.
Are you close to your parents?
- Ooh.
- Reece, let's start with you.
- Incredibly close to my parents.
They're both still together.
They live in Katy, Texas, and I see them like,
six or seven times a year. - Wow.
- [Sam] Delaney.
- Yes, I'm very close with both of them.
They are also still together. They live in Tennessee.
I text my mom almost every day.
- Oh my God.
- She's my best friend. - Oh my God!
- I really love answers like that.
I always find them really moving.
- Shout out to Nancy.
- [Ally] Yeah, yeah, shout out to Nancy.
- Nancy, this one's for you.
- Abel.
- I'm incredibly close to my parents.
There was a rough patch coming out.
- [Sam] Of course. - But like they say,
you give it time and it only made us closer so.
- Mm, cute and beautiful. - [Sam] Love that.
- Yes, very good.
Do you want to get married? Have children?
- [Ally] Hm.
- And there is that emoji on the card.
- [Ally] Yeah. (suitors laughing)
- [Sam] Delaney, let's start with you.
- I would like to get married one day.
Children is kind of still not like a sure yes
or sure no for me, but-
- I need grandchildren. - [Delaney] I know.
- Yeah. (laughs)
- Do you know who else needs grandchildren? Nancy.
- Looks like Debbie's got an ally.
- (laughs) Yeah. - Yeah, Debbie and Nancy.
That's the next Dropout series.
- That's right. Reece.
- You know, I have been married and I've been divorced.
(Ally gasps) I am divorced,
but he and I are on great terms.
I would love to get married again,
and I would love to, with the right partner, have kids.
I think being a dad is probably one
of the most treasured things I could ever do with my life,
and I would like to experience it.
- Wow. - [Sam] Beautiful answer.
- Good. - [Sam] Abel.
- I'm gonna say yes, but I'm not set on it.
I do see myself having a daughter.
(Ally gasps) I just...
- Oh my God, amazing.
- If you have a son, they are dead to you.
- They are dead. (Delaney laughing)
- I'm fascinated by your job, if we can discuss.
- Yeah, let's talk about porn.
- Do you work with a studio? Do you do independent stuff?
- In 2009 when I was 19, almost 20 or so,
I applied to a website called burningangel.com, which is-
- I know the website.
- That's essentially how I got in.
Now I do like, content creation where I own my own content.
- I assume owning your content has huge financial upside.
- If I hit up a content creator and I say,
"Hey, do you wanna fuck and then we both make some money,"
that's way cooler, right?
And then I get residuals.
- How does the ownership of that usually?
Is it like 50-50 ownership?
- It's shared. - Great.
- So if I'm collaborating with someone else,
unless I'm hiring them for my content-
- Sure, yeah. Honestly, it's so much like Ko-Fi.
Where it's like, you can do like a Patreon-type deal.
- Yeah.
- You own it and the trade-off is,
then you have to do the legwork.
It's like, okay, I've gotta track down a camera
and I've gotta like, know how to shoot it.
- 100% it is like that.
- Next question, Debbie.
- Are you responsible with money?
- [Sam] Let's start with Abel.
- No. (Ally and Sam laughing)
- I knew we'd find a- - [Ally] Honesty!
- No, I am not financially literate, but I'm learning.
- I would say I am.
I have like, a money market savings account that had-
- Ooh. - [Delaney] Yeah.
- Okay, a little Roth IRA.
- You know, I actually used to be a financial planner
so I'm actually really good with money.
- Holy shit, Reece.
- And I own my own small business so I-
- Oh! - Okay.
- Whoa.
- I think I'm very good with money.
- [Sam] Reece! - What's your small business?
- Reece- - I own a bakery.
- (gasps) You own a bakery! What is this, like, indie movie?
- A bakery?
- Reece, you've been holding out on us!
You made it to the final four
without this information being public?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Does the bakery have a cute pun name?
- Brady's Bakery, and Brady's the name of my dog.
- [Ally] I think I've read an article about this.
- Wait, Reece, you own Brady's Bakery?
- Yeah, I own Brady's Bakery. - Are you shitting me?
(Delaney laughs) - Do you love Brady's Bakery?
- In the last three seasons of "Game Changer,"
I have sent everyone cookies-
- [Ally] Wait, those were the cookies!
- [Sam] From Brady's Bakery as a wrap gift.
- You're the same Sam!
It's funny, I saw your name on the call sheet.
I'm like, "That name sounds familiar."
And I was like, "I wonder from what."
- [Sam] Every fucking season! - Oh my God!
- [Ally] That's so crazy. - What the fuck is happening?
- Oh my God.
- I'm not sure I've ever captured my own amazement
on camera as much as I just did.
- We almost got in a fight earlier about, you like winter?
- I do like winter, I- - So it is the holidays?
- I think maybe a lot of it is, oh, I like Christmas.
- You don't like Halloween, but you like Christmas.
- Yeah, I like spooky stuff.
I don't like thinking of a costume.
Like, Halloween is a lot of pressure
to have a good idea for a costume.
- Yeah, I heard that you just wear a suit
and then each time it can just be something different.
- What's been happening in there
that everyone knows these things?
This is crazy!
- And apparently you need to clean your car.
- My car looks great.
I need everybody to come and look at my car. This is-
- You know what though, like, I could always
just have someone detail it for you.
I could look past that. - Thank you very much.
See, that's fantastic. - I could look past it.
- What would you not be able to look past?
- I'm like, really concerned about you microwaving milk.
(Grant laughs)
And then adding yogurt to it.
- I like, I don't like, listen, okay...
- Next question, Debbie.
- Where do you see yourself in five years?
- Delaney.
- Well, I am finishing up my master's this year so I will-
- Ooh, in what?
- It is a master's in Entertainment Industry Management.
- Given what I know about you and your ability
to really target talent and chase after them-
- It is day 12 of searching LA Hinge
until I find Grant Anthony O'Brien.
- I think that a career in management
makes a lot of sense for you. - [Delaney] Yeah, right.
- [Reece] Absolutely, absolutely.
- Yeah, Grant would love new representation actually
so let's get you on that.
- This was actually a long con.
- Yeah, yeah. - It's me being Grant's agent.
- 10% of his paycheck, 100% of his heart.
- Yeah, yeah. (laughs) (Delaney laughing)
- Abel. - I have a dream
of becoming a published children's book author.
- Good. - [Sam] Really nice.
- Wow. - Reece, what about you?
- You know, I think for the last several years,
especially with the pandemic, starting a new business,
every time six months go by
I look at the previous six months.
I'm always happily surprised by where I ended up
so it's almost, I'm just taking it one day,
one step at a time.
I hope I'm partnered again.
I hope my business is doing successfully,
and I'm hoping maybe we're on our way to having a kid.
- There you go. - I mean, incredible cookies.
I will say, incredible cookies.
They ship all over the country. I'm done.
(group laughing)
- I can defend myself 'cause we're sitting here
in this cold water. - Yeah.
- Who wants to do that? Who wants to sit here and be cold?
Well, in the morning I like to have,
you know, a little bit of a warm breakfast.
- There's just oatmeal you can do.
- And I do. - You could take a probiotic
and eat the oatmeal and get the same result.
- But it's so fast to...
And it's not just yogurt in there.
There's also usually like, shredded wheat
and a bunch of like, you know, nuts and berries.
It's a whole thing. I get a whole thing for breakfast.
- All right, we'll work on that, um...
(both laughing)
I won't judge your breakfast
and you won't judge my moderate interest in astrology.
- I won't, I won't. (Phoenix laughs)
- Final question, I believe.
- [Debbie] Have you ever cheated on a partner?
- Ooh. - Hm...
- Abel, let's start with you.
- Absolutely not. - Oh.
- Hm! If only I had you hooked up to a lie detector.
(group laughing) - Okay, okay. No, listen!
I didn't cheat, but I have been the other.
- [Sam] Yes. - Oh, yeah.
- You have been cheated with.
- That's not your responsibility, though.
- Thank you, thank you.
- It's co-dependence to take that on.
- Thank you, Ally. - [Ally] Yeah.
- Delaney. - I have not.
I have been the cheated on
and so I know how bad that shit stings,
and I would never wanna do that.
- Reece. - I have.
And I saw how the immense heartbreak it brings
and it's something I will never, ever do again.
- Trick question 'cause Grant likes to be cucked.
(group laughing)
- Hey, would you like to get out of this freezing cold pool?
- That sounds like a good plan.
- Doesn't it just? Why don't we do exactly that.
- Yeah, good idea. - Perfect.
(cheerful music)
- I gotta say, Reece had some tip-top answers.
- I have to cut Delaney 'cause she's eight years old.
(Ally chuckles)
I was thinking I'd keep Phoenix,
but knowing that Reece owns that bakery
really is very interesting
'cause those cookies were very good.
- So the two women? - I know, that's-
- And then you come out as super gay? (laughs)
- Legitimately, that's my thing.
So now it's, do I cut Phoenix or do I cut Reece?
- I think you should be left with a man and a woman.
- Yeah.
- All right, well, here we go.
- Please welcome back to the stage, Grant and council.
- Oh, hi. - Hi, everyone.
- Grant. - Yeah.
- Terrible news, in this next moment
you must eliminate two contestants.
- That sucks, Sam. - Out of the four.
- [Ally] Half. - That sucks.
- Grant. - God.
- Two roses for two new friends.
- They were no help. I don't know what I'm gonna do.
- [Sam] Who is it going to be first?
- All right, I would like
to offer this first friendship rose...
(suspenseful music)
To Delaney. - I saw that coming. (laughs)
I was preparing myself
to either be pleasantly surprised or correct. (laughs)
Two positive emotions so like, I couldn't lose either way.
- I voted off Delaney because she is very young.
Lovely meeting you. - So nice to meet you.
Debbie, it was even nicer to meet you.
- Thank you. Nice to meet you, too.
- [Delaney] Yeah, it was so nice to meet you.
- Wow, now I'm glad I gave you the rose.
(group laughing)
- Yeah, sometimes you drink some wine
and shitpost on the internet
and then you're doing a day-long shoot
(laughs) with Dropout.
And that's the beauty of entertainment. (laughs)
- Grant, I know this is gonna be hard.
Who's it gonna be?
(tense music)
- Phoenix, I'd like to offer you this rose.
- Oh! - Okay.
- [Ally] Wow.
- See, I have like, rejection sensitivity, but I'll be okay.
I came in this looking to connect with new people
and learn more about Grant, and I did that
and so I had a great experience.
I really do wanna be his friend, though.
I hope that he means it.
- Your lovely prize.
- Skincare, my favorite thing to do
aside from the other things I like to do.
(group laughing)
- Phoenix, you've been fantastic.
- [Ally] You've been incredible.
- [Sam] Thank you so much for joining us.
(group clapping) - [Abel] It looked like it.
- Council, you are now free to go. Grant is on his own.
- Great, yeah, I notice like a similarity
kind of going on here, like, I...
- Listen, if there's one thing I wanna assure everyone,
it's that bisexuality exists. - Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- This is how it wound up. What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna know? I don't know what to tell you.
What do you think?
- Ally, Nick, Debbie, thank you so much
for your meaningful contribution.
- Holding onto bisexuality with two white knuckle fists.
- Just with fingernails on a cliff.
(cheerful music)
- It is time for your final speed date.
- Oh my God.
- Grant, as a part of this final speed date,
we will be treating you to a lovely rug, a lovely fireplace,
and some lovely chocolate-covered strawberries.
Would you please do us the honor
of taking a position next to this fireplace.
- Oh, I'll do you. - Wow, that looks so good.
- [Sam] And Grant. (laughs)
- Oh God, still?
- (laughs) You can go ahead and push that button
whenever you're ready to switch.
Reece, it's almost like tradition at this point.
- Oh my gosh, I have to go first. This is the pressure.
Hi. - Hi.
- [Abel] Should I plug my ears?
- Oh my God. - Hi, there.
- And go. (romantic music)
- Is this fox fur?
- Hey, I'll bet this is something really cheap from IKEA.
- Oh really, you think so? - Yeah.
- Well, you know what, I love it,
and it actually feels really good on my skin.
Do you like chocolate-covered strawberries?
- I love chocolate-covered strawberries.
- Wait, so are you a sweet tooth for real?
- Yes. - What's your favorite thing?
- And I'm told you own a bakery.
- I do, and we make cookies. - Mm-hmm.
- What's your favorite kind of cookie?
- I like anything with spice so like a snickerdoodle.
- Oh, sure. - A, uh...
- So like a cinnamon cookie would be like something,
what you would consider a spice cookie.
- Absolutely, you know, warming spice.
- These are actually really good.
- I'm actually not the biggest chocolate person
in the whole world. - Really, why? That's crazy.
- I have good morals. - That's actually a red flag.
I would have totally flagged that, but you know what?
Don't you dare fucking push that button.
- Chocolate's terrible. (button buzzes)
(Reece groans) (Sam laughs)
- I'm taking one for the fucking road. Here we go.
- But thank you for reminding me
of what the bit is right now. - [Reece] You're welcome.
- Hey, I have to know, what shows did you do
and what was your favorite production that you did?
- Oh God, I've been in "Jesus Christ Superstar" three times.
- Wow. - [Abel] Is that your favorite show?
- No. (Abel chuckles)
My favorite show is "Assassins."
- Oh!
(Sam chuckles) - I got one.
I got one over there by Stephen Sondheim.
But I have never been in it even though there are like,
five parts that I'd be great for in it.
I'd be phenomenal. (Sam laughs)
Now, how do you feel about chocolate?
- I love chocolate. I'm not...
I don't own a bakery. - [Grant] Uh-huh.
- But I do bake, and I love baking.
- What are you best at baking?
- Oh my God, that's too...
No, I can't pick.
(button buzzes) I can't...
(Sam and crew laughing)
I make everything good!
- I don't know what to tell you.
- [Abel] Give me one of these.
- I don't know what to tell you.
- Okay, okay let's talk.
Wait, so who would you be in "Assassins"?
- They'd cast me as Leon Czolgosz,
but I feel like I'd be better casting as John Wilkes Booth.
- Yeah, I could totally see that.
- Thank you.
- Go back to your original Broadway cast.
Which show would you see?
(Sam laughs)
- I just saw a great production of "Cabaret."
- Okay. - But I wish I saw...
It wouldn't be the original Broadway cast,
but it'd be the Sam Mendes revival of...
- Uh-huh. - Do I have chocolate?
- No, you just have some fuzz. I got you.
- Oh, well, I told you, it's a very cheap rug.
Well now, what about you? - Probably "Ragtime."
Are you familiar? - Am I familiar?
- I mean, come on- - Am I?
I used to sing "Make Them Hear You"
until I realized that's problematic.
- Oh, well, for you to sing it. Is that why?
- Yeah, it's not great.
(Reece and Sam laughing) It's not great.
"Ragtime" is great, and I love all the songs.
It's flawed in that it's probably a bad sign,
kind of like "Les Mis," when every song ends
with the entire cast standing at the front of the stage
singing as loud as they can. - (laughs) It is, I'm-
- And so for that... (button buzzes)
(Sam laughing) - I was having so much fun.
- Well, we're having a great time.
- [Sam] Oh, look at this! - Hi.
- [Sam] Something out of a horror movie!
- [Abel] Hi. - [Grant] Hi, there.
Do you like musicals?
Do you see them? Do you enjoy them?
- I love musicals. I used to do shows as well.
The worst role I ever did was Horton in "Seussical."
- I, okay...
- Have you played Horton?
- No. (button buzzes)
(Sam laughing) (romantic music)
- [Sam] I love the interpretive dance that's happening.
- What's the worst role you've ever played?
- The worst role I've ever played. I don't even know.
I mean, I've definitely been-
(button buzzes) (Sam laughs)
- You should have an answer to that.
- Okay, I was getting there.
- What's your best role you've ever played?
- Oh my God, I did "Bugsy Malone," and I was a gang member.
I loved it.
(button buzzes) - Violent.
(Sam laughing) (romantic music)
What's the best role you've ever played?
- You know, I actually produced and directed a play
for my undergraduate thesis.
We called it a capstone.
- Producers are problematic. (button buzzes)
(Sam laughing) (romantic music)
- Oh man, it's so hot in here.
- Well, it's this roaring fire.
- Oh, shut up.
- Yeah, yeah, take that shirt off. That's fine.
- You know what, I don't have a great body,
but I do have confidence, so you know what?
- Oh, well! Okay!
- Oh- - You look great.
- Thank you. - Absolutely.
Uh, hang on. (button buzzes)
(Sam laughing) - That's, oh, fuck!
- [Sam] I will cut you off there.
- Oh, but I was gonna get the other guy
to take his shirt off. (Sam laughing)
- There's always Cabo.
- That final speed date was really illuminating
because we just kept landing on the same topic over and over
and they both had a lot to say about it.
Honestly I thought,
"God, those guys are perfect for each other."
"Maybe I can just get between them for a little bit"
"and that'd be fine by me, too."
Who'd have thought three gay dudes
would have things in common?
I'm bi. God, it's exhausting.
- Grant, it's been a long day.
- Oh, it's really long.
- We had 10 people out on the stage and now we have two.
Reece, Abel, congratulations for making it this far.
But Grant, the time has come for you to select your match.
(Grant sighs) (dramatic music)
- Okay, can I say, it actually was very helpful
to have council and now they're gone.
Uh...
Sam, will you be my council?
- (chuckles) It's putting me in an awkward position, Grant.
I am the host of this show.
- Yeah, but come on, no one takes that seriously.
- (laughs) I am also your friend.
- That's right.
- Do you seriously want me to counsel you?
- Yeah, 'cause I don't know what to do.
- Okay. (dramatic music)
If I was in your position,
I would have a very tough decision to make.
Those are two hot, eligible, funny men out there.
- Well, this has been quite the day.
- This has been interesting.
- I mean...
- I'll still have your cookies.
(dramatic music)
- Grant. - My heart's pounding.
- Who is your match?
(dramatic music)
- I would like to give this rose...
(suspenseful dramatic music)
To Reece. - Oh my God! (laughs)
Oh my gosh. Thank you so much.
- And I'd like to give this rose to Abel.
- What? (Ally laughs off screen)
- Abel, please come up and take this rose and I'll explain.
Now, this is our "Bachelor"
and so we get to decide the rules,
and backstage Grant said he could not,
for the life of him, choose between the two of you.
- Uh-huh.
- The question now is for the two of you
whether you would both accompany Grant to Cabo.
- Oh my God.
- [Sam] Entirely up to you.
- Oh, I would love to go to Cabo with you.
- I would love to go to Cabo with you.
- Oh, well. - Thank you so much-
- Hell yeah! - I had so much fun.
- That hug. - Yes!
That is how we do it. - So fun.
- Great. - Here on "Game Changer."
Fuck yeah, I love that! - Yeah!
- This will be quite- - Congratulations.
- Yeah, that's what it's gonna look like.
(group laughing)
So the thing about "Game Changer" when you're it
is the first couple of minutes are always like,
you're in the movie "Saw,"
and you're figuring out what the puzzle's gonna be for you.
However, frequently it ends up being pretty lovely.
Sometimes you meet your favorite porn star.
Sometimes your mom is there,
and you haven't seen her in a little while and that's nice.
Sometimes you have a couch full of models
waiting for your approval.
While the stress of not knowing what's going to happen
to you on "Game Changer" is a lot, frequently it's very nice
so this was a lovely little gift,
and I appreciate it from everyone.
Thank you all.
- That does it for us here at "Game Changer."
I am your host, Sam Reich,
reminding you that you can hurry love.
No, you don't have to wait. Good night.
(audience applauding) (celebratory music)
