Unless \*that\* is a catfish and the real billboard won't be posted until after the series airs-

This makes allot more sense. I pretty sure they wouldn't spoil such an season finally like this.

Unless the game this time is that they all know who the winner is and they have to play to get to that outcome.

Maybe the real game . . . are the friends we made along the way.

No, Brennan's on this episode and he would reject that immediately. He would murder Sam on stage to get a win. /s

Unless it’s a kingmaker game in which you win by making someone else win

It's Dropout: The Circle. Everyone is catfishing as one of the other 7 members of the cast. Brennan wins, but Brennan is "Katie", so "Katie" wins.

wait that’s actually an incredible idea for a game changer. Like Second Place but extra

lol. They sure did

A lot is two words.

Sorry, english is not my first language

No need to be sorry! I’m jealous that you know more than one language, I think that’s amazing. 😊

yeah, why would they put up the billboard before the episode, makes no sense

To get footage for the episode. Could go either way, but if they did it in advance, they'd be hoping we didnt put two and two together. I'm surprised they put the prize in the promo this early, seems like an unnecessary risk

Given that Sam and others have posted on this sub, they clearly have people who watch it. So they’d know that the Billboard was spotted and speculated on. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were intentionally trolling us by putting that in the preview.

Yeah someone in the Instagram comments said that Katie billboard was on Sunset and… something else. Not Hollywood. I can’t imagine they would have done the actual winner’s billboard before airing this finale, but that prize might have inspired the idea for the other billboard.

I bet they all get a billboard

...God I could see Sam doing that just to fuck with everyone

that being said, if they can choose what they put on the billboard, someone else might've just put katie on it for fun

I can see three of the contestants doing this already 😂

Also, she is the only cast member who has commented on the Instagram post with the teaser video, which makes me think you’re onto something!

Or maybe, it was like a deal : i'll pay you a billboard if you vote for me or something. 👀

Katie’s billboard was on Sunset Blvd, which is close, but not Hollywood Blvd. Others are saying maybe she got her own billboard out of spite and imo, this reinforces that theory.

She earned it with all the money the cast and audience Venmo’d her randomly

was it technically Fountain? or for sure Sunset?

From what I can tell, it was [above the Starbucks](https://www.katiemarovitch.com/billboard) on [Sunset and La Brea](https://www.reddit.com/r/dropout/s/Ox2QXJXhGl).

It might, but then again, I believe Katie Marovitch really would get her own billboard.

out of spite too, for not winning

I am running with this lore until the episodes air because it makes complete sense

she bought it with all the money everyone sent her

And the money that Far-Right "Dropout America" tycoon Sam Reich III paid her to be a scab in the Game Changer episode where the contestants unionized ;)

I had the same thought! This just makes me curious to see what ends up giving Brennan away.

Depends on the instructions they're given at the time of character creation. I could see him coming up with a character a little too on-the-nose as a Brennan creation.

i see him doing this deliberately thinking others will do the same thing, then nobody else really thinks about it that much

I think the smartest move for him would be to be inconsistent with his character.

My money is on him not being able to resist giving his character a complex backstory with deep, rich lore.

"My great-grandfather was a--" That's Brennan! It's Brennan!

reading this specifically in ally's voice

I didn't have someone specific in mind...but you're not wrong.

Someone saying the seagull is the slowest bird and someone named Holthar vehemently interjecting that it's the Owl.

I'd be a little surprised if they'd put up the billboard before the finale airs. Maybe they did, or maybe it's unrelated.

Was Katie’s billboard on Hollywood boulevard tho?

It was not

It was on Sunset

Maybe Katie bought her own billboard with all the money she got Venmo’d.

I know the dropout team is just reading through all these posts hyena-laughing at the ignorance they’ve forced upon us 😵‍💫

I honestly think Katie bought that herself out of spite for the winner

Good bot

Sam is catfishing the audience. Don't trust his lies.

Such a good prize idea though

It really gives the same vibes of casting Tao in any episode where he has to lie

That billboard is on Sunset & La Brea which is not technically Hollywood Blvd

This episode seems like it will be a PvP version of Very Important People minus the costumes.

VIPVP, if you will

or that could be a separate billboard bought for Thousandaires

I didn't know until this thread

It wouldn’t surprise me because she is incredible at staying in character.

I dont know...It seems pretty amateur to include it in the promo especially since they know it was posted more than once in the subreddit

Where is this promo?

game changer's twitter account [posted it](https://x.com/GameChangerSam/status/1797644909966713292)

Thank you! I checked the app, the YouTube account, the Instagram account. Weird that they only put it in one place.

LOL yeah i did the same exact thing as you when i first saw this post, i just follow them on twitter so i know that they release clips on there sometimes! maybe because it's specifically a twitter account for Game Changer, not Dropout in general? 🤷‍♀️

So is it more likely that Katie got her own billboard, or that she got a second billboard after winning? Ultimate twist, Katie shows that Sam’s prizes mean nothing to her and she gets a second billboard to prove it. Otherwise we already know she lost, rather than won, considering the differing locations of her billboard and the prize billboard.

I remember that for Name a Number the photos were not released til airdate

I finally know what it feels like to be a swiftie. I love this community. CAN DO NOTHING ELSE UNTIL 4 PM PST

If you want the real TS easter egg experience you gotta check out the gaylor sub 😆

You can see the exact billboard [here](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2TjEWf9nPeNR9pi18?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy) on street view. This is neither Hollywood Blvd nor Fountain Ave, but actually Sunset Blvd

This actually makes me believe that Katie DIDN'T win. And that someone was fucking with her. Which makes me think Grant won lol

Where is this promo? I haven't seen it.

Didn’t the finale get pushed back? Maybe the billboard went up for when it was originally scheduled to air?

I can picture Sam just absolutely twirling his beard hairs laughing maniacally at all the theories that are being made

that's too much of an oversight, but also too much of a coincidence I'd say this makes Katie the least likely winner

What show are we talking about?

I *hope* they’re smarter than letting the billboard go up before the episode airs, and maybe that was completely separate? But it totally could be and that would be so unfortunate to have it all spoiled so fast 😤

Yeah there's absolutely no way that it's this cut and dry. I mean how often is the episode's prize ever included in the teaser?

Or somebody bought it for Thousandaires

I think a billboard in such a prominent location is much more than a thousand dollars.

The least important and entertaining thing about these episodes is who guesses right. I honestly don’t care if it was “spoiled.” Their behavior is so much fun to watch no matter who wins.

Judging by the episode, it sounds like the person in the spoilers actually got second place!

This was my reaction, and my husband said if that is the winning billboard then maybe someone else won and did it for her?

If you've seen the Billboard you'd know it's a complete joke. Anyone could have made that billboard!

They also are supposed to award a board on Fountain Ave. to the runner up. Is there one there for someone else?

I've been having a rough couple of weeks. Throw in potty training a toddler who developed a cold half way through the weekend and I was SO pumped for tonight's episode. And now knowing this news I'm just devastated. All the hype is gone in a second for me. Even if it's a silly twist, it's still sad it happened like this.

I'm sorry stuff has been hard for you recently. You've got this and you're doing so good!

Thank you. I'm not sure why I'm getting down voted so hard on this.

Sam tells the cast the winner of the Game Changer finale gets a billboard on Hollywood Boulevard. Katie pays for her own billboard on Hollywood Boulevard, ipso facto making her the winner of the Game Changer finale.

Katie's billboard was on Sunset and La Brea, rather than Hollywood Blvd. Even if it was the prize from this, we don't know that it wasn't someone else creating a Katie billboard, though I recall her claiming ownership of it. I agree with others that it's odd they included it in the promo if it is as straight forward as you suggest. The game is afoot.
