- [Sam] Last time on "Game Changer: Battle Royale,"
a series of twists sent home Lily, then Anna,
then brought back Lily, then sent home Izzy.
Six players remain, but not for long.
(upbeat exciting music)
(guitar smashing loudly)
(flames flickering powerfully)
- The only way to continue is by continuing.
This is part three of "Game Changer: Battle Royale."
Please welcome back to the stage,
Ally Beardsley,
Tao Yang,
Rekha Shankar,
Lily Du,
Jacob Wysocki,
and Vic Michaelis.
(Sam laughing excitedly)
Rekha, I'm gonna take that back.
- [Jacob] See ya!
- [Vic] No, keep it, keep it.
- Just keep it.
- Sam, put it on.
- Just keep it, you deserve it.
- Keep it.
- Put it on, do a twirl.
(everyone admiring loudly)
- [Vic] It's kinda crazy,
'cause I just did a spin. - Watch out, Jeff Probst
- Players,
are you ready for your next individual immunity challenge?
- [Tao] No!
(everyone laughing and clapping)
- No, king!
- As comedians, you're used to being loud!
It's part of the job!
But, this challenge
is gonna ask you to do quite the opposite.
- Uh-oh.
- This is the "ASMR Challenge."
(Lily laughing)
Ash, if you could please bring out the decibel meter.
(slow rhythmic music)
Here's how this is going to work.
One at a time, you are going to approach Ash
and read the sentences
that I've written here on this monitor.
The loudest each round is out,
until there's one person standing.
- This is my downfall.
(Sam and Lily laughing amusingly)
- I wish Grant was here.
- Vic, we'll start with you.
(group thigh drum roll)
Your sentence, Vic, is this.
(bright pinging noise)
(low rhythmic guitar)
(Lily quietly chuckles)
(sparkling sounds and low jazzy music)
(Vic whispering inaudibly)
- They didn't say anything.
(sparkling magical sounds)
- They did, and with a 66.7,
you can go ahead and sit down, Vic.
- [Tao] Wow.
- 66.7 what?
- Jake, that's you.
- [Tao] Yeah, my sound system goes to negative 50,
so...
- Whenever you're ready.
- The same phrase?
- The same phrase. - Okay.
(sparkling magical sounds and jazz music)
- (whisper) Give me 50 cookies for my little turtle's birthday.
(sparkling magical sounds)
- With a 67, you can sit down, Jake
- What was Vic's?
- [Sam] 66.7.
- I can hear Tao practicing, and I would like him to stop.
(everyone laughing)
I would like him to stop!
- I would like to issue a formal request.
- Lily, it's you!
- [Ally] She's facing that way.
(sparkling magical sounds and smooth jazz music)
(Lily whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
- [Lily] Did that register at all?
- 56.2.
(everyone applauding impressively)
- Fuck. - What?
- It's good to be a quiet little Asian. (laughing amusingly)
- Rekha?
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Rekha whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
67.5, go ahead and sit down.
- Damn, I'm the loudest bitch there ever was.
(everyone laughing amusingly)
My man, let's go!
- Tao?
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Tao whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
66.8, Tao, not bad.
- [Lily] Wow, all that practice paid off.
- [Vic] Okay.
- And finally, Ally Beardsley.
- Oh, God.
(Lily chuckles)
(sparkling magical sounds)
- (whisper) Give me 50 cookies for my little turtle's birthday.
(sparkling magical sounds)
- 67.6, which is the loudest from this round,
meaning that you are out, leaving five.
Next up, Jake.
Jake, your sentence is-
- Oh, a new sentence.
- Did Grant say this about you?
(sparkling magical sounds)
- (whisper) Bleeding badly is my daddy's favorite hobby.
(sparkling magical sounds)
- I love that we've decided that speed is a factor here.
- 68.8.
- [Sam] 68.8.
- Damn, it was louder.
I thought... I thought it'd be quieter.
Fuck!
(everyone laughing amusingly)
What was that, what was the measurement?
- 90.1.
- Lily, it's on you.
(sparkling magical sounds)
- (whisper) Bleeding badly is my daddy's favorite hobby.
(sparkling magical sounds)
- 56.9.
Lily, you are tearing it up. - Dang, Lily!
- It's inherently a louder phrase.
- Rekha, you're up.
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Rekha whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
Did that register?
- 48.9.
(Lily gasping loudly)
- Mommy's quiet bitch.
- [Sam] 48.9.
- From loud to Mommy's...
She got punished, she got quiet.
(Ally laughing)
- Tao.
- Just hit that big 70, dawg.
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Tao whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
- 67, Tao.
- You fucker.
- Vic?
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Vic whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
- 66.9, Vic, way to go.
- Whoo!
- Jake, I'm so sorry.
- I know!
(everyone laughing amusingly)
I fuckin' know, Sam.
I was too loud.
(buzzer blaring loudly)
Surprise, surprise!
- Lily, that's you up.
New phrase.
(bright pinging noise)
- Wait, this might be hard 'cause it's sexy.
(sparkling magical sounds)
- Cut the crap before I call my horny neighbor.
(sparkling magical sounds)
- 66.1.
(Ally whistling surprisingly)
(Lily exhaling loudly)
- Your loudest one yet.
- I was horny.
- Horny decibels go through the roof.
- Okay, yeah, I have to get all...
Get my horny out here.
(Rekha exhaling slowly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Rekha whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
- 67.1.
- Wow!
- I'm a loud bitch again.
- Tao.
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Tao whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
Well done, Tao, 65.8.
(Lily gasping surprisingly)
- Whoa!
- Wait, you said it through closed lips?
- He had sort of the corner of his mouth open.
- Technique!
- The "Popeye."
- Yes, the "Popeye" technique.
- Hella ventriloquist.
(everyone laughing amusingly)
(Vic clearing throat gently)
- And Vic.
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Vic whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
53.
- No!
How? (everyone applauding)
- What?
- Rekha, that's you out, I'm afraid.
- Wow, wow. - Moving on.
- Loud bitches associate.
- Yeah.
Get outta here.
- Tao, that's you.
(Tao clearing throat loudly)
(bright pinging noise)
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Tao whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Rekha stifles a laugh)
67.6, Tao.
- Fuck!
(everyone laughing amusingly)
- Fuck, fuck!
It sucks, dude, it sucks.
(everyone laughing amusingly)
(gentle jazz music)
Vic.
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Vic whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
49.4.
- What the fuck?
- [Sam] Vic-
- And they're quiet.
- Has figured something out.
- Wow.
- Lily.
(sparkling magical sounds)
- (whisper) I'm a sloppy little boy
who likes sloppy little sandwiches.
(sparkling magical sounds)
- 57.5.
- It was that big whistle "S."
- Hard "S."
- That, Tao, is you out, (buzzer blaring)
leaving a showdown between Vic and Lily.
Vic, I'm gonna ask you to go first.
- Yeah, absolutely.
(everyone applauding supportively)
- [Lily] Vic breaks it from being too quiet.
- A lot of plosives in this one.
- Uh-oh.
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Vic whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
51.5.
- Oh my God.
- Lily, you got this.
Come on, channel it, channel it.
(Sam laughing)
- Quiet please, respectfully quiet, behind the camera too.
(sparkling magical sounds)
(Lily whispering inaudibly)
(sparkling magical sounds)
53.8.
That means, Vic, you are the winner of this-
- Wow!
(everyone applauding impressively)
Good game, good game, good game!
- [Sam] Community challenge.
- Or, should I say?
(Sam laughing at the silent bit)
(Everyone cheering silently)
- Congratulations.
- Thank you so much.
- How does it feel?
- Amazing.
- Players, I will see you after confessionals at the vote,
where one of you will be the fourth person eliminated
from "Game Changer: Battle Royale."
(bell chiming loudly)
(deep tense music)
- Do you have any idea where these idols can be?
- Literally no.
(gentle pensive music)
- Big news, huge news.
"They're in plain sight, but they're hard to find,"
what does that mean?
So, I'm lookin' around.
Hmm, those wires look awfully odd.
(gentle pensive music continues)
(materials shuffling gently)
(Ally running quietly)
- (whisper) You're kidding me.
- Laos, Cambodia.
Chiang Mai, Pai, Bangkok.
Gettin' closer.
- Did you see that?
- No. - Oh my God.
- I didn't see it until he started hangin' out around here.
- Oh my God.
It was plugged in.
- [Vic] Unbelievable.
- Vic and Beards know that I have it.
I felt safe letting them know.
- Do you think we've walked past it?
- Absolutely, we've walked past it.
- I have a feeling that it's wires.
- I think that's a really good theory.
(gentle pensive music continues)
- Tides are turning.
Very lucky that Lily comes back.
But I'd already created an entire universe
where that didn't happen, and what that would look like,
and now that is both a boon and a bust for me.
- Where I'm at now is still with Tao, my sweet baby, Tao.
I also am trusting Ally Beardsley implicitly.
- [Sam] Almost everyone who's come in here so far
has said that they're in an alliance with you.
(Ally laughing happily)
- That's why you lose the games first,
that's why you tell people how you're gonna vote
and you do it.
I think you just build loyalty
and then you don't look like too much of a threat
you're just kinda like smiling.
But then you're like, "Surprise, I won."
- I think everyone's told me they're going to vote for me.
(laughing)
Which I don't really see the tactic behind that
'cause I'm not the best at the game.
Lily, are you voting for me?
That's why Ally said.
- I thought we were voting for Jacob.
- But you could be putting on a big act, and that's okay.
- Okay Tao, I think I'm voting for Ally.
Ally told me that everyone was gonna vote for me.
(Rekha laughing amusingly)
- Oh my God, okay.
I'll think about voting for Ally.
- I'm here to play games, just keep on playing games.
(Rekha chuckling)
Please.
I might vote Ally out first, to be honest.
- Instead of Vic and Jacob?
- Yes.
- We gotta get somebody off the old world team,
the Old Guard.
It really is like, "Who do I see myself beating?"
- [Sam] Yeah.
- That's how I'm making my decision.
- (whisper) Vic, who are you voting for?
- [Vic] (whisper) I have no fucking idea, do you guys have names?
- Jacob's playing the game very, very hard.
I now understand how I'm being viewed
and where I am in the order.
I do genuinely think he and Ally
will bring me to the final three,
but I think I'm three outta three.
- She's going you or Ally.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's time to start spicing things up a little bit.
- This is what you made me do,
this is what you made me do.
- Please welcome back to the stage Ally Beardsley,
Tao Yang,
Rekha Shankar,
Lily Du,
Jacob Wysocki,
and Vic Michaelis.
(gentle tense music)
Well players, here we are at another vote.
You tell me, what's the plan, what's the vibe?
- It's weird, but I'm feelin' great.
(everyone laughing)
- Why? I wonder why.
- I feel fantastic.
- You gotta be proud sitting up there with a necklace.
- Yeah, you know, as a fan of any kind of source material
that would be related to this, you know,
gettin' to have the necklace even for a little bit
is such a treat.
- Jake, you're givin' me a nice long look
down the barrel of your nose.
- Huh, maybe it's just every time there's been a vote,
my name's been in the mix.
- Ooh.
- Maybe I'm feeling a little salty, a little sour.
- Oh.
- A little lied to.
Maybe surrounded by rats.
(Sam guffaws)
- Are you nervous headed into this vote, Jake?
- Every time I have been chill, I've been wrong, so.
(everyone laughing amusingly)
- [Tao] Don't be chill.
- And I know I was like "straight chilling" earlier.
I got my head on a swivel, I feel like a gargoyle.
(Sam laughing loudly)
- Do gargoyle's heads swivel?
- Aren't they notoriously made of stone?
- Ooh, you guys don't get real gargoyle lore.
They wake up.
- Rekha, how are you feelin' as we head into this vote?
- I heard some rumors.
Whatever may be the case, I'll move forward with gusto.
- You sound like a politician.
(Rekha laughing amusingly)
Question for you all, have we been loop-de-loop hunting?
- We're all mentally ill about it, man.
(Sam chuckling)
- I brought some stuff on the stage
that I would like to pitch to you as being loop-de-loops.
I've Greek'ed it, so you can film this.
(everyone laughing amusingly)
- Wow.
- Wow, how considerate, Rekha.
- An industry pro!
- So I think if these cinnamon sticks
were just a different angle, and you put two...
They're kind of just facing each other the wrong way.
That's a loop-de-loop.
- Rekha, the way this works in "Survivor,"
is if you think that anything might be an immunity idol,
you play it.
(deep tense tone playing)
And so, it's time to vote.
Ally, you're up.
(deep tense music)
- [Lily] Always the first vote.
- [Jacob] It's like gettin' called to detention.
- [Lily] Did you guys go to the principal a lot?
I did.
- [Tao] You did, for what?
- Talkin' too much.
- [Sam] Tao, that's you.
(deep tense music continues)
- [Lily] If somebody found an idol
and didn't tell us, that would be so juicy.
- [Rekha] I just think it'd be hard to hide.
- [Sam] Rekha, that's you.
(deep tense music continues)
- You thought we were gonna be so smart
when you hid those idols.
What do you think, we're Brennan?
- [Sam] Here's the thing.
I felt that last time we did this,
idols were found way too fast.
Lily, that's you.
So this time, we decided not only to make it more difficult,
but also to be a little bit more creative about it.
- [Rekha] Yeah.
- [Sam] Jake, that's you.
- [Lily] You're sure it's not on you?
- [Sam] No.
- [Lily] We gotta squeeze Sam again.
(Sam laughing amusingly)
- [Sam] That was a good moment.
Vic.
(deep tense music continues)
- [Rekha] Do the sunglasses help?
- [Jacob] They help me not care.
- Ash, if you could please bring out the basket.
(deep tense music continues)
Thank you so much.
I will now read the votes.
If anybody has a loop-de-loop and would like to use it,
now would be the time.
- I would like to use mine.
I'll bring it, it's one item.
Thank you.
(Lily laughing quietly)
- This is
not an immunity loop-de-loop.
Any votes cast for Rekha will still count.
- That isn't an immunity loop-de-loop?
That is literally so weird, Sam.
Awkward sauce!
(everyone laughing)
- There was a moment
where I thought he was about to say that it is,
and I was like, "Well, I'm going home."
- [Tao] I really thought one was inside.
- All you had to do was cut open a cup!
- First vote.
(gentle suspenseful music)
Rekha.
- Spelled correctly!
- Yeah, I know. (laughing happily)
I know you, bitch.
- Second vote.
Ally. (Ally gasps)
- The first one. - Whoa.
- Third vote.
- Okay.
- [Sam] Rekha.
- Spelled correctly.
- Fourth vote.
Rekha.
- Wow.
- Spelled correctly.
- The fourth person
voted out of "Game Changer: Battle Royale,"
Rekha, spelled correctly.
Rekha, you may approach. - It's okay.
It's okay.
(everyone applauding warmly)
- You played a great game.
- Rekha, any last words?
- Alliances are not always what you think they are.
Keep that in mind.
- Damn.
- I thought I was an angel, but I'm just a rat.
(amused laughter
- I think what I understood to be an alliance
was not what an alliance was
because I was voted out by my entire alliance basically.
That's okay, (laughing amusingly) that's fine.
What I learned is that doing the games too seriously
is extremely unfun, so just have fun with it.
(Rekha chuckling)
(soothing string music)
- These moments are always hard, players, aren't they?
I mean, you can't help but have empathy
for someone who was just voted off.
In fact, as an exercise, why don't the group of you
go up there while they come down here?
- Oh no, that's okay. - Oh my God.
- Except for one of you,
who will participate in this next challenge.
It's up to you.
- I see. - Ooh!
- And we don't know what the challenge is.
- It's whatever that is.
(Sam laughs)
- That's good deduction, Jake!
I can't allow you to rummage, or feel, or anything.
- No, no, no, no, just eyes, just eyes.
- What do you wanna do?
Do you wanna do random, or does somebody wanna stay?
- How about who doesn't wanna do it, step back.
- Who doesn't wanna...
- [Ally] So, you two are kinda thinking about it.
- Do you wanna do it?
- Sure. - Okay.
- Jake is gonna stay.
- [Vic] Win it all!
- The rest of you can go ahead and head upstairs.
(air whooshing noises)
Please welcome back to the stage, our voted off players:
Adam Conover, Ify Nwadiwe,
Izzy Roland, and Rekha Shankar.
Now players, I'm a big believer in second chances.
And so I'm going to give one of you the opportunity
to come back into the competition.
We are going to have a little talent show.
Call it a "Talent Showdown."
If you could please stand, and Nico and Ash,
if you could bring out the accoutrements.
(energetic string music)
Here's how it's going to work.
Each of you taking turns
is gonna have 30 seconds to show off a talent.
It could be anything, singing, dancing,
a party trick, standup comedy,
or something using one of the objects you see before you.
Anything, so long as it's at all entertaining.
If you no longer have a talent to share, you are out.
Any questions before we get started?
- Are you judging the talents
based on the quality of the performance?
- You know what I just realized?
I'm far too big a fan of all of you
to be able to decide objectively
what's entertaining and what's not.
I'm going to have to bring in a professional-
- Howie Mandel, Howie Mandel.
- Introducing now-
- Howie Mandel.
(Izzy chuckling)
- Comedian, producer, legendary game show host,
Howie Mandel!
(Jake screaming ecstatically)
- I was joking!
I was whispering your name under my breath as a bit!
- I heard you.
- Holy shit!
Truthfully, and I know this is gonna seem insane,
I feel like I casted a spell, as if it were "Beetlejuice."
- So pleased to have someone like you-
- Oh, I'm thrilled to be here.
- Raise the pedigree of our show.
- Oh my gosh. (everyone applauding)
This is so exciting.
Is this for me?
- That's for you!
- Okay.
- [Sam] Howie?
- Yes?
- Here is your paddle.
- Wow, a hermetically sealed paddle.
So there's an X or a check.
- That's right.
Now Rekha, once we say go, we're going,
so I hope you're ready.
- What the fuck, why am I first?
This was a random order.
- This is so exciting.
- And go.
- Give me a topic about anything and I'll make a pun.
- Socks.
- Socks?
Well actually, I eat socks because it's sole food.
(Sam gasping quietly)
Yeah, it's not very good for my tongue though.
- Ooh!
- This is a really awkward relationship,
but we could patch it up.
This is a "Hanes"us performance.
God, I hope you don't watch this on the boob tube.
- Tube socks, I get it.
I got what you were doing there.
- Do you see what I'm saying?
- [Howie] No, I saw what she's doin'.
- God, it "socks" to be me right now because I-
- It "socks" to be you!
- You know what I'm saying?
- What do you think, Howie?
- Oh, I'm giving her a...
(bright pinging noise)
Because the fact that you just off the...
It's amazing.
- Thank you so much.
- You don't see a lotta sock humor.
- I think there's some "America's Got Talent"
in your future!
Izzy, go.
(upbeat jazzy music)
- Did you break something?
(everyone laughing amusingly)
(Sam laughing amusingly)
- Oh, oh, oh, oh.
(Howie laughs)
- [Sam] Check! (bright pinging noise)
That earns the check!
Izzy with a record breaking five seconds!
- That's dyslexic twerking.
It's upside down, you don't see that.
- [Sam] Ify.
- Alright, I think I'ma just take this opportunity
to one up Izzy for you.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
There's electronics flying out.
(Sam laughing amusingly)
Did you just crap a microphone?
Okay, alright, alright, alright.
I'll give him a check. - Check!
- I don't want... I don't know...
I wish I could whistle
'cause I'd love to whistle while you twerk.
- Adam.
- Alright,
this is gonna be the hardest stand-up crowd I've ever done.
We vaccinated, folks?
You folks vaccin... You vaccinated, Howie?
- Yes, I am.
- A little controversial to vaccine.
You know, my friend was tellin' me
he wasn't sure he wanted to get it
'cause he read on the internet, it could change your DNA.
- Yes.
- I know, I had to tell him it's not true.
But also, dude, why are you so intent on keeping your DNA?
- I like that, hold for the laugh, hold for the laugh.
(Ify laughing)
Thank you.
- But think about it, man.
You're ugly, you're balding-
- Yeah.
- You're stupid enough
to think a vaccine could change your DNA.
- Wait, ugly and balding?
- If I were you, I'd just re-roll them dice,
you know what I mean?
Treat it like a new "Dungeons and Dragons" character,
see what you get. (Sam laughs)
- I like that.
And the fact that you were able to go on,
even if the mic is not plugged in.
(Adam and Sam laugh)
(bright pinging noise)
- [Sam] That's a checkmark!
- Oh my God, I've been doing stand-up comedy for 15 years.
If I got an "X," that would've fuckin' sucked.
Thank you, Howie.
- It would suck, but not sock.
(Howie laughing)
- Jake!
- Oh, and here's the guy who whispers my name.
- [Sam] It's your go.
- I went to Julliard for seven years.
- Is that true?
- Yeah, it is.
So I'm gonna play a little jazz for you, if that's cool.
- It is cool.
- And find my tempo.
(Jake snapping rapidly)
- Wow, fast.
- I don't know what's about to happen.
I don't know-
- I think it's already happened.
(horn blaring chaotically)
(Jake scatting badly)
(horn blaring chaotically continues)
(Jake scatting badly continues)
- Wow.
(everyone laughing)
You're like Kilometer Davis,
which is like Miles, but I'm Canadian.
- [Jacob] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(everyone laughing amusingly)
(bright pinging noise)
- [Sam] Wow!
- [Adam] Wow.
- Howie says it's good.
- If you can't tell, jazz, he's scatting.
You play, you improvise. - Yes, seven years.
- Seven years of Juilliard, is this branded entertainment?
Is Juilliard sponsoring this episode?
- They are now.
- They should be so proud, look what they did.
- Look at their alumnus.
- Keep the talent coming.
- Absolutely, Howie, for you, anything.
Rekha.
- Can I sing something that you can't use?
- You wanna do something that can't be used?
- You know why?
- No, let's just say it was done and I didn't enjoy it.
- No!
(everyone laughing amusingly)
No!
Howie, Howie, no!
(everyone laughing)
Is that eliminated?
- Did I not save you some post?
- [Sam] Oh, you certainly did.
- You can save post.
I will sing a fully copyrighted song.
- I will give you the opportunity to sing the song.
- Go ahead.
(upbeat playful music ending)
Why are you turning around?
- It's... (censoring "Tearin' Up My Heart," by 'N Sync)
(censoring "Tearin' Up My Heart," by 'N Sync continues)
(Rekha breathing loudly)
(Jake humming song)
- Can I be honest with you?
- It's awesome?
- Nope.
(Rekha laughing)
- [Rekha] Well Howie, we ran outta my talents,
but thank you so much.
- Told ya, told ya.
- [Sam] Poor Rekha.
- I appreciate your time.
- Izzy.
- Um, I have a question.
- How complicated is this game?
- (laughing) It's not that complicated!
- And if we sing a song
that potentially is not available to be purchased online,
what about that?
- Not available to be purchased?
- Yeah. - What do you mean?
- I really only was able to ever get it via LimeWire.
- Wow.
Nothing makes a show just sail
than questions about copyright infringement.
People are gonna go,
"Did you see the episode of 'Game Changer,'
where I don't know what happened, but we learned a lot."
- Izzy, whatever you wanna do, the floor is yours.

♪ Five in the mornin' ♪

- I'm gonna cut you off there, Izzy.
- I actually liked it, and I-
(bright pinging noise)
- Ooh! - [Howie] I like it.
- [Sam] Izzy, you're movin' on.
- It's a little somethin' for the kids.
- [Izzy] Yeah.
- Ify, the floor is yours.
- Yeah, yeah, we're gonna do some more stand-up.
(Adam laughing)
How's it goin', everyone?
You may know me as Ify,
but my name is short for Ifechukwude Ijeoma Nwadiwe.
That's because my dad comes from a place called Nigeria,
and decided to name me that
even though his name is Chris Nwadiwe.
(everyone laughing amusingly)
And you know, when I asked him about it,
he was like, "Ify, Ify, I did this
because everyone in Nigeria has a name like this,
and I just wanted to bring it to America."
And then I went to Nigeria and met my cousins, Barbara,
Michael, and my cousin, Tupac, so...
(bright pinging noise)
- [Sam] Ooh!
Ify sailin' right through!
- Ify, are you a stand-up?
- Yeah, yeah.
- You're funny, buddy.
- Oh, thank you. (laughing)
I got a check too, I got a check too.
- Adam, that's your go.
- Okay, I am a mixed media artist.
- Ooh, ooh. - Ooh.
- Oh, I need time for it to stick.
No!
- Oh, well you have 30 seconds, Adam.
- [Adam] Oh, fuck.
- [Sam] Oh, and a second one?
- And a second one. - And second one?
- And I wanted to...
Okay, well here's the idea.
- Wow. you're goin' for this balls against the wall.
- This is your...
Fuck!
- What's the design?
Show me the whole design.
- Here's the whole design.
- Really, do you think it's worth the wait?
- This is your reaction to my act.
See, look, it's a smiley face.
- It's a big smiley face.
- It's a smiley face!
Fuck!
- Oh, ooh.
- Normally, I have better materials to work with.
- You know what that is?
- [Adam] What?
- That was arts and crap.
- Ooh! - Whoa!
(buzzer blaring loudly)
- [Sam] Howie!
- Damn!
- And Jake.
Oh.
- More music. Julliard.
- [Sam] Julliard.
- Julliard.
- #Julliard.
(drum thudding gently)
- I present to you a Pratt fall.
(playful music)
Whoa!
(Jake thudding loudly)
(Rekha laughing)
- [Izzy] I was gonna play that.
- [Izzy] What the hell?
(guitar smashing loudly)
- [Ify] Well, you're not gonna play that.
- This is like being at a crazy Gallagher concert.
I'm like, "Okay, alright."
I'm just scared.
- I feel like Howie
might've felt threatened into that check,
but it did still count. - I did.
- A check's a check.
- [Howie] Are you hurt?
- No, I studied at Juilliard for seven years.
(crew laughing offstage)
Music, clowning.
Oh, look.
- Izzy, that's your go.
- (exhaling quickly) It's 2007,
there's a woman named Jill Zarin living in Manhattan.
She's approached by a production studio in New York City
and by a man named Andy Cohen
to star in a series called "Manhattan Moms."
She is told
to bring together a group of Manhattan socialites,
all in the upper middle class or 1% of New York City.
She brings together Bethenny Frankel, Luann de Lesseps,
Ramona Singer, and Kelly Bensimone in season two.
And that franchise is not "Manhattan Moms,"
but moves on to be the "Real Housewives of New York City,"
which premieres in 2007,
becoming the first show to franchise,
the "Real Housewives" series.
- Who doesn't like Wikipedia? (bright pinging noise)
- Ooh!
- [Rekha] Yes, bitch!
Izzy's knowledge of the "Real Housewives"
sending her through.
- She's the living Google.
- Ify, that's you.
(prop falls of table, ringing)
- Oh, oh God. - [Rekha] Oh no.
- Oh God, yeah, you can get up.
- Don't worry, no, we're not gonna be juggling.
- What do you mean, "Don't worry."
When somebody's coming at you with two machetes,
the two words you don't want to hear is, "Don't worry."
- No, this is...
I'm actually gonna be doing a scene out of "Black Panther."
- Oh, holy shit.
- My name's Killmonger!
I found my daddy with panther claws in his chest!
And I'm ready to take the crown 'cause it's mine!
(upbeat tense music)
- Yes. (bright pinging noise)
- Oh!
Wow, Ify.
Again, sort of threatened into the checkmark.
- Fear, fear, fear.
- Yes, a strong motivator.
- Okay, let's keep goin'.
- [Sam] Jake.
- At Julliard,
one of the most important skills that they teach you
is active listening.
I'd just love to just hear what's been bothering you.
(gentle warm music)
Has there been anything on your mind that's kind of-
- Yeah.
- Causing stress or pressure?
- This episode.
(Sam chuckles)
- [Jacob] This is really stressing you out?
- But, I like it, therapy is my life, you know,
my soapbox is mental health.
- Mm-hmm.
- And I took therapy off today to come here and do this,
so thank you.
- If you have anything else to say, I'm happy to listen.
- I'll see ya again next Thursday.
- [Sam] That is 30 seconds, and he likes it.
- I do, therapy is good for everybody.
- Absolutely.
- You can't judge how good therapy is.
- Izzy.
(gentle warm music fading)
(regal string music)
(majestic orchestral music)
(Adam laughing)
- [Rekha] Wordless.
- How can you not... (bright pinging noise)
- Wow!
- [Rekha] Yes!
- Izzy!
I think that Izzy is winning for efficiency.
Ify.
- Well that was simple, yet-
- Effective.
- No, there's no other word.
- Oh, there's no other word, got it, yeah.
- Alright.
I'm trying freestyle right now because look...
(Ify laughing gently)
(Ify coughing quickly)
♪ I was on the green... ♪
(Ify coughing loudly)
♪ I was on the "Game"... ♪
(Ify laughing awkwardly)
(everyone laughing amusingly)
- Okay, you know what, there's a lotta-
- Oh no, oh no!
- No, I gotta say, he was freestyling with mucus.
- [Sam] Ify!
- [Howie] I dunno if you can see it at home.
- [Sam] Ify, I'm so sorry. - And then there was two.
- Jake.
- Juilliard's big on impressions.
- Yeah.
- I would love to perform for you, Alex Jones.
Are you familiar? (Howie chuckles)
- Yes, "InfoWars."
Ladies and gentlemen, I have read the new scripts-
- It's perfect.
- That have given me ancient ideas and superior technology.
It has the cantrips
that will give us all of the answers that we need.
This book is "Goodnight Moon."
Goodnight, Moon.
- (laughing amusingly) "Goodnight Moon."
- [Jacob] Goodnight, phone.
- It's funny. (bright pinging noise)
- Goodnight, clouds.
- Whoa!
Sailin' through.
(everyone applauding impressively)
(upbeat rhythmic music)
- [Howie] Izzy.
- Uh-oh.
Oh no.
(laughter)
- Izzy dribbling a basketball with her private parts.
Will it be enough to send her through?
- I think that's what we call in the hood,
the "Couchie Crossover."
- Whoo!
- Wow, vaginal dribbling.
- You don't know what I have.
- [Rekha] Whoo!
- [Howie] Okay.
- Howie, what do you say?
(bright pinging noise)
- An incredible basketball player!
- [Sam] Izzy sailin' through!
(everyone applauding impressively)
Jake.
- [Howie] Oh, he is goin' for...
- Oh, okay.
(upbeat rhythmic music continues)
- Why... (laughing amusingly)
- It's all about the build up.
- What are you calling this?
- I'm calling it the "Big Belly Boogaloo!"
(everyone laughing amusingly)
(Jake vibrating musically)
- Okay, you know, I loved everything you did up until now.
But, you know what? (buzzer blaring loudly)
- [Sam] That is an-
- Izzy!
- Meaning Izzy is back in the game!
(dramatic triumphant music)
Howie!
- What?
- Thank you so goddamn much.
- It's my pleasure.
- A round of applause for Howie, everybody.
(everyone applauding warmly)
Well, just like on any elimination game,
we began the day with five players, went up to six,
went down to five, went up to six again.
See you next time for the grand finale
of "Game Changer: Battle Royale."
- Am I leaving now?
- [Announcer] Next time, on "Game Changer: Battle Royale,"
the competition gets steamier than ever,
and super special guests emerge in this epic conclusion.
(upbeat exciting music ending)
