Okay but here's a concept I haven't seen people talk much about: Lord Debling courting Penelope, only to very quickly realize her feels for Colin, which then causes him to Uno Reverse Colin's "I'm going to find Pen a husband" plan.
Just imagine Debling as a secret match maker, letting Colin get more and more jealous, manufacturing moments for Penelope to see Colin. It would be a fun time, is all I'm saying
adults are always talking about how “kids will do anything to get out of school” and okay, first of all that’s not true, but I think we really need to ask why that idea holds so much sway.
children’s brains are hard-wired to take in new information and acquire new skills. consider, for a moment, just how thoroughly our society had to fuck up the concept of education for it to be a normal thing to assume kids are universally desperate to avoid learning.
These two motherfuckers have been going on the record saying that while filming they: BROKE furniture, kept going at it because they couldn't hear the director call cut, and apparently are in so many steamy scenes they literally don't stop talking about it.
never let anyone tell you that trawling through mediocre victorian poetry isn't worth it. we just happened upon an absolute BANGER of a worm poem. go read it or else 🪱🪱🪱
Everybody acts like each new Game Changer is a new level of betrayal and psychological torture from Sam towards his friends.
Did we forget that the very first game changer was "Sam wheels out a strange machine and asks the contestants embarrassing personal questions, the veracity of their responses is judged by the Machine.
The machine is actually controlled by the contestant's significant others who have been made accomplices. Forcing their loved ones into revealing shameful truths for internet broadcast."
And sure, he's gotten a bit more personalized with these, constructing a variety of torture chambers for Brennan Lee Mulligan specifically, putting Grant O'Brien in various situations and then bringing his mother onto the set. But deception and betrayal were part of Game Changer from the beginning.
So, when I hear people say "I can't believe Sam WENT THERE" about something all I can do is think to myself
He went nowhere
He's been there the whole time
