I’m so glad there are people in the Game Changer tag sufficiently obsessed with this show that they’re now building red string board conspiracy theories about how our beloved host Sam Reich might be possessed by the spirit of his (entirely fictional) evil ancestor Sam Dalton from the escape room episode. Normally I’d say that the evidence presented so far isn’t enough to beat the fact that they’ve never done some sort of “season arc” like that, much less a multi-season arc, and shown no sign of intending to do so—but on Game Changer, “they’ve never done something like that before and shown no sign of intending to do so” is EXACTLY why they would do something!

Incredible show. It’s mere existence is an ongoing experimental art performance. It’s also possible, of course, that instead of being possessed, Sam Reich has simply been replaced by his evil ancestor Sam Dalton, and is locked in a closet somewhere on set.

Oh ok I finally worked out what's going on with Sam every episode. Every other episode he glances at his hands, because he's the only one stuck in the timeloop.

In the timeloop episode, Deja Vu, he's the only one who isn't stuck in the timeloop.

Because he's been here the whole time.

Which is more fucked up?

Sam Reich is torturing his friends because he is possessed by the ghost of mad magician Sam Dalton OR Sam Reich is torturing his friends because he thinks it's fun.

What does siobhan have to do with sam dalton?? it seems like the 2 biggest sam dalton-related episodes have had siobhan on them

it could just be that she rarely goes on so they do crazier episodes but it doesn't feel like a coincidence

#nothing's ever a coincidence on game changer #game changer #sam reich #sam dalton reich #sam dalton #dropout #dropout tv #siobhan thompson

Do you think it's an accident that Siobhan has now been connected to the two main Sam Dalton episodes??? That man is torturing her fr

i’m just realizing the intros for each of the contestants is a play on the idea of repetition:

> taking another bite of the show

> am i seeing um actually host double?

> one appearance just wasn’t enough

sam reich i see your little games. i don’t know what you’re up to but i know something is cooking

Dumb theory time. What if the wenis was a method to induce a hypnotic state on the players? Idk I just like the idea.

It’s so catchy? For no reason? I find myself just “everybody do the wenis” at random times. So it would be funny if it was some kind of hypnosis, which could connect with Trapp winning Sam Dalton’s watch? Watches are used for hypnotising people? I might be night yorbing here.

The Season's Been Laid Out in the Cards...

The above are a direct depiction of the editing of the show:

Lou views the wall of evidence with Sam Dalton, and says 'So it seems like it's about Objects. Do we have these things? Do we put them on the numbers? (This is correct to escape the step)

The lore provided for Sam Dalton's disappearance reads: "SAMUEL DALTON PRESUMED DEAD Friends and Colleagues gathered this past Saturday to mourn the passing of Samuel Dalton, who disappeared during his magic act last July. Dalton had encircled himself with household objects over the numbers of a clock when a bolt of lightning struck a magnet overhead leaving behind only his smoldering footprints. He is survived by his two sons, Ray and Bolt Dalton, who have since denounced the magical arts."

Brennan suggests someone goes out to start collecting the objects they need, and someone else "stay in here and see if they exist in this space". Sam looks shocked and delighted, looking offstage at someone, and biting his hand to stay quiet. Brennan notices, and asks "What are you biting your hand about?" suspiciously. Sam dramatically mimes zipping his lip and says nothing.

A couple of things that are not in the editing but personal theory notes:

This editing compared to the fairly clear and concise wrap-up on rewatch, especially Sam's over the top reaction to this bit, and the multiple maintained clips that carefully compare the red room to hell/purgatory (Siobhan calls it Sartre-esque, etc) while we are now seeing a decay makes me fairly sure it's foreshadowing.

Escape the Room aired in March, but if we have a 13 episode season again the finale will be in July, when Samuel Dalton disappeared.

I do not know if the episodes are meant to be in order, or if they're exact #s, but there are many things Sam has given this season (Plant, Watch, Jacket) as either prizes or challenges directly, OR episodes could be more metaphorically interpreted (Ace of Cheetos - the single episode designed to torture the snacker, Two of Pillows for the Newlyweds)

Episodes like 6x03 the Three of Coats for Sam Says 3 with a wardrobe challenge or 6x06 Deja Vu with a with a watch prize and time theme have all of the above etc

The Playing Card Items: Ace - Cheeto, 2 - Pillows, 3 - Coats, 4 - Lint Rollers, 5 - Plants, 6 - Clocks, 7 - Vases, 8 - Shoe, 9 - Fire Extinguisher, 10 - Guitar, Jack - Smoke Detector, Queen - Surge Protector, King - Paper Clip

The Other Items Surrounding Samuel Dalton: Scales, Phonograph, Typewriter, Rotary Phone, Photo Camera, Video Camera, Pocket Watch, Bowler Hat

i’m just saying even if sam dalton HAS replaced sam reich…….how evil can he really be??? like look at that man having the time of his life while doing the wenis and tell me he ain’t just a goofy lil guy, just a silly lil fella

Wait, there was absolutely no point to the players learning the wenis, was there?

I will say Sam Reich really knows his audience. We love unnecessary lore and a good puzzle

SAM DID THE FUCKING HAND THING IN OTHER EPISODES

okay this wasn't at the intro

but

in season 4 episode one sam says "now i'm questioning myself!" and does the little looks at his hands n flips them thing

maybe this is a coincidence and it's just a mannerism he does often

but
