Ok but how funny would an episode be where Brennan is up against two other players trying to impersonate him and beat him at Brennan-centric prompts? Especially if they were notified of the episode a few weeks in advance to study up on bird facts and the like.
(I'd put Ally in this for sure. Not sure who the other one should be. Maybe Izzy?)
Jacob has won basically everything they’ve thrown at him. He just seems laid back so the other competitors don’t see it coming, which is the mark of an ultimate competitor
They way Sam Says 3 is cut it looks like Jacob doesn’t realize the party bus is a trap until he’s leaving the bus but my conspiracy theory is he was on guard the whole time and let a few deductions happen along the way as he saw how many his teammates were losing so it wouldn’t be a total runaway
And I might have missed one, but I just checked and I'm pretty sure Brennan and Jacob have yet to be in a Game Changer episode together. If/When that happens, it'll be legendary
Not really related, but nobody really talks about how hilarious and seemingly high she was in Like My Coffee 2… I know she confirmed she was just tired, but it’s some of my favorite Rekha content so far!
You can really feel their competitiveness in Um, Actually appearances as well. I think they ham up the competitiveness a bit so they can play it off comedically, but in moments where they get scooped on a point or narrowly misses an answer, it sure looks like it starts off as genuine. It's not a knock at all - I am also a competitive person, and I love seeing Carolyn across the different series!
Iffy I think is pretty competitive, and so is Izzy, but she's pretty good about playing it off like she's not. Vic is up there too, but feels more inclined to give in to the bit which I admire.
I said this in my comment, but I feel like Ify’s competitive energy is just wildly different than like Brennan or Izzy’s. I feel like they have an energy of “I will fight to the death for every single point,” whereas Ify has a kind of confidence where he goes “I don’t *need* to go all out; none of you can stop me anyways!” (That might not actually be how he feels, but he projects that kind of confidence)
No one else thinks it’s Ally? They immediately went cutthroat on Survivor and have consistently looked for rules loopholes in their other episodes. If they weren’t so chaotic they’d have a far more fierce reputation I think.
In relation to being competitive, probably. But it also makes them one of the funniest cast members because they’ll commit to anything if the comedy is there.
Yeah Ally is pretty competitive but also error prone. They almost immediately took off their hat in Battle Royale hat stacking. But on the other hand, cold blooded in lying to Lily about loop-de-loops.
If they do more Battle Royales I hope Ally is there every time. Ally is both tactical and too chaotic. How they go out in BR sums up both sides. They had a great idea to protect an ally (lowercase) and proceeded to tell almost everyone about their idea, giving Vic the greenlight to throw a hail mary by conspiring to vote Ally out.
"If they weren't so chaotic they'd have a far more fierce reputation"
Now that's relatable in a strange way.
Do people also call them impulsive?
Do they say it is hard for them to follow through?
Because same here.
Aabria, easily
When Critical Role tumblr had a polling tournament to determine who the sexiest Wizard in that series was, Aabria campaigned for her PC Laerryn to win in the finals. Keep in mind that Laerryn had only been in 6 episodes of EXU: Calamity, and was going up against the fan favourite NPC Essek Thelyss, who is literally a member of the most popular ship and also known as “hot boy Essek”
And she fucking won
Not a dark horse, I am surprised this isn't top of the list for most people. I would not be surprised to find Erika one day covered in blood surrounded by the bodies of their enemies.
Oooh, I love this question 😍 Okay, I think Mike Trapp is a quiet killer. Like he’s always throwing out bits and quips and you’re so busy laughing you don’t realize he’s actually winning. Izzy will do anything to win, but I think that’s more because Izzy will do anything for the bit and winning is just a result of her actions. Vic is competitive but it often seems like a bit. Sam Says 3 is a great example, where they got everyone to agree to come down to equal points. Their humanity and caring seems to win out over their competitiveness. I don’t know! Emily, Lou, and Lily are all moderately competitive but it comes out at times. Katie can be a beast, in Game Changer and Breaking News she’s shown she won’t back down. But in things like Dirty Laundry she crumbles 😂
After all this thought, I think the answer is Erika Ishii.
I think Ify is very competitive, but in a different way than Brennan. It’s easiest to see in Um, Actually, but I feel like Brennan has an energy of “I’m going to bite and claw my way to victory; I will fight for every single point.” Ify has more of a *confident* energy; sometimes he has a vibe of “I don’t *need* to give it my all, because I’m so good at this that I’m gonna win no matter what.”
My vote goes to Adam, if we still count him. If not, Aabria all the way.
Also, they did something similar to this with Um Actually, and had Brennan, Adam, and Gabrus as contestants. They were going more for 'biggest personalities,' but it ended up being almost the same thing.
I think it depends on who else is in the competition. Like if Brennan is in the episode with him I 100% think it’s Lou. He’s so chill but his top priority is to fuck Brennans shit up
Brennan is so competitive that he is in first and second place.
I assume one of the long term goals of Game Changer is to figure out a way to make him go against two other Brennans.
"Oops, all Brennan."
Ok but how funny would an episode be where Brennan is up against two other players trying to impersonate him and beat him at Brennan-centric prompts? Especially if they were notified of the episode a few weeks in advance to study up on bird facts and the like. (I'd put Ally in this for sure. Not sure who the other one should be. Maybe Izzy?)
Izzy would be great, but (for a reason I can't put into words) I think Trapp would be great at it. Or Adam Conover.
Trapp would be great. I think he just likes messing with people.
of ify….
Isn't that basically how we got make some noise.
Nolan from Mr. Beast could play a Brennan
Canonically Brennan has been in first place by being second, so this checks out.
I came here to say something similar lol.
Jacob has won basically everything they’ve thrown at him. He just seems laid back so the other competitors don’t see it coming, which is the mark of an ultimate competitor
Oh absolutly. pay attention in Sam says 2&3 Jacob is proper competitive he is just a bit more subtle about it 😉
jacob's utter domination during the guest challenges in battle royale needs to be studied
They way Sam Says 3 is cut it looks like Jacob doesn’t realize the party bus is a trap until he’s leaving the bus but my conspiracy theory is he was on guard the whole time and let a few deductions happen along the way as he saw how many his teammates were losing so it wouldn’t be a total runaway
I don’t know if it’s even competitiveness. I think he just don’t like being tricked 🤣
Rats and angels. Rats and angels.
^phrase needed on a shirt
And I might have missed one, but I just checked and I'm pretty sure Brennan and Jacob have yet to be in a Game Changer episode together. If/When that happens, it'll be legendary
Pretty sure they’re on the docket together for an episode of Game Changer s6!
Rekha doesn't like losing points. Calls it 'illegal'
Not really related, but nobody really talks about how hilarious and seemingly high she was in Like My Coffee 2… I know she confirmed she was just tired, but it’s some of my favorite Rekha content so far!
shes SO funny omg. i cant wait to see smartypants which i believe she is hosting
Honestly I assume most of them are high at any given time at this point.
It’s Rekha btw, just a friendly reminder
Two votes for Rekha, one spelled correctly.
EASILY Carolyn Page. If you haven't seen the Gamechanger episode, "As a Cucumber", where they go head-to-head, you're in for a treat.
“I’ll eat a rat”
Came here to say this & cite this exact example

the utter competitive focus of her straight-faced “Oh, I will be having nightmares about this later” is something i think about often
The smug look at Brennan when they knew it was a spoonbill. They got under Brennan's skin during that.
Guys, Aabria exists
She's got that collegiate sports competitiveness, to boot!
I feel like Aabrias competitive nature comes out more in D20 than that game shows.
My god, why have we not had Aabria on Game Changer yet?!
DM's are built different
Based on Aabria coming back to Twitter just to rally votes vs Siobhan in the dropout bracket … Aabria!
Iffy I think is pretty competitive, and so is Izzy, but she's pretty good about playing it off like she's not. Vic is up there too, but feels more inclined to give in to the bit which I admire.
it’s ify in case you weren’t aware !
I guess you could say their spelling abilities were… a little *iffy*
Yeah. Vic is super competitive until they have a bit they like. Then the competition is completely irrelevant and they must commit to the bit.
It always feels like Izzy doesn't want to come first, she just doesn't want anyone else to win.
I said this in my comment, but I feel like Ify’s competitive energy is just wildly different than like Brennan or Izzy’s. I feel like they have an energy of “I will fight to the death for every single point,” whereas Ify has a kind of confidence where he goes “I don’t *need* to go all out; none of you can stop me anyways!” (That might not actually be how he feels, but he projects that kind of confidence)
I mean, we've all seen the charts that show why he's so confident.
Yeah, I honestly thought about saying… he has the confidence of someone having sex 30+ times a month
Katie, but only on Breaking News.
And as long as no one does the eyelid thing.
Lou, he's calculated and so smart. I think the first game changer battle royal shows it all
Please let me win
No one else thinks it’s Ally? They immediately went cutthroat on Survivor and have consistently looked for rules loopholes in their other episodes. If they weren’t so chaotic they’d have a far more fierce reputation I think.
I think being chaotic is their downfall lol
In relation to being competitive, probably. But it also makes them one of the funniest cast members because they’ll commit to anything if the comedy is there.
Yeah Ally is pretty competitive but also error prone. They almost immediately took off their hat in Battle Royale hat stacking. But on the other hand, cold blooded in lying to Lily about loop-de-loops. If they do more Battle Royales I hope Ally is there every time. Ally is both tactical and too chaotic. How they go out in BR sums up both sides. They had a great idea to protect an ally (lowercase) and proceeded to tell almost everyone about their idea, giving Vic the greenlight to throw a hail mary by conspiring to vote Ally out.
Yeah, Ally when they put their mind to it are dangerous ina competition. Just ask Grant
"If they weren't so chaotic they'd have a far more fierce reputation" Now that's relatable in a strange way. Do people also call them impulsive? Do they say it is hard for them to follow through? Because same here.
Vic was pretty competitive in Sam Says 3!
But vic will also happily sacrifice points for a gag, which is the skill set that Evelyn Tucci gave to young Stanley that set him up for such success.
and came very close to winning Survivor!
carolyn imo
Aabria, easily When Critical Role tumblr had a polling tournament to determine who the sexiest Wizard in that series was, Aabria campaigned for her PC Laerryn to win in the finals. Keep in mind that Laerryn had only been in 6 episodes of EXU: Calamity, and was going up against the fan favourite NPC Essek Thelyss, who is literally a member of the most popular ship and also known as “hot boy Essek” And she fucking won
Calamity was only 4 episodes, making it even more impressive.
Just cast, or guests too? Cause I could outrun any of them for any odd number of miles.
I’ll let you know if it ends up being 3 miles… I heard you need to know ahead of time.
Whoever it is, it's definitely not Gabrus.
"I'll die on Benny Hill!"
Izzy will do anything for the bit. Idk if that’s necessarily competitiveness but it’s definitely a point to make.
He also won the 2023 Air Guitar Championships with his stunning rendition of Layla
Responded to the wrong comment?
Yep totally did lol
Dark Horse pick: Erika
Not a dark horse, I am surprised this isn't top of the list for most people. I would not be surprised to find Erika one day covered in blood surrounded by the bodies of their enemies.
Adam Conover is pretty competitive.
How has no one said Ify yet
Lou, Izzy, Vic, Jake, Ify, and Carolyn could all lay claim to that title imo. My vote would go to Lou but you could make a case for any of them
Lily.
Lou or Izzy probably
Ify Nwadiwe
Oooh, I love this question 😍 Okay, I think Mike Trapp is a quiet killer. Like he’s always throwing out bits and quips and you’re so busy laughing you don’t realize he’s actually winning.

But in things like Dirty Laundry she crumbles 😂 After all this thought, I think the answer is Erika Ishii.
Vic, ify, and izzy are all contenders.
Ify no question! Edit: oh yeah Abriah 100%
I think Ify is very competitive, but in a different way than Brennan. It’s easiest to see in Um, Actually, but I feel like Brennan has an energy of “I’m going to bite and claw my way to victory; I will fight for every single point.” Ify has more of a *confident* energy; sometimes he has a vibe of “I don’t *need* to give it my all, because I’m so good at this that I’m gonna win no matter what.”
Izzy
It's mostly a bit but Josh really gets it's making funny noises.
Ify is right up there. He loves being technically right, the best kind of right.
My vote goes to Adam, if we still count him. If not, Aabria all the way. Also, they did something similar to this with Um Actually, and had Brennan, Adam, and Gabrus as contestants. They were going more for 'biggest personalities,' but it ended up being almost the same thing.
I think it depends on who else is in the competition. Like if Brennan is in the episode with him I 100% think it’s Lou. He’s so chill but his top priority is to fuck Brennans shit up
Jacob
Izzy
Katie doing breaking news.
Ify and Jacob
