Dropout's ‘Game Changer’ Cast Test Their Basic Culinary Skills

[Presenter] The cast of Dropouts Game Changer

will be competing in challenges,

testing their culinary skill.

Who will be the last one standing?

[dramatic music]

[Director] Who is going to lose this game?

Me. Me.

[Brennan] [both laughing] Wow.

[rattling]

[Presenter] Coconut.

Coconut. Coconut.

[Presenter] You're a coconut crusher.

Using the tools in front of you, crack your coconut

[bleep] and fill your cup

to the line. Bye.

[Presenter] No more, no less.

[buzzing] No more, no less?

[Presenter] Last one to hit the line is eliminated.

Ready?

We're all too close to be given tools.

[suspenseful music]

I'm absolutely freaked. [banging]

[screaming] Has anyone done this

in real life before?

I've watched a lot of Survivor.

[Lily] How do they do it on Survivor?

[Sam] Not with a screwdriver and a mallet.

[dramatic music]

[Grant] Anything, anything?

No, how is Grant already? [banging]

Nice Grant. Thank you, Oscar.

How'd he do that? [screaming]

I think I might have a dry coconut.

[Lily] Is this entertaining for you?

This is entertaining for me, I'm done!

You're done?

[dramatic music]

[Sam] Oh, I don't like that. [chiming]

Are there any more metal mallets?

We don't have any down here.

Metal mallets, yeah, you can have mine.

[banging] Hey, thanks Oscar.

Excuse me, Grant. Pardon me.

[hammering]

Oh my God. Oh, Oscar. Good.

How?

I feel like I've made no progress.

I did it!

Why isn't mine even

close to open? [chiming]

Why?

[hammering]

[laughing]

It's done. Damn.

[chiming] No.

Oh there we go. No.

Oh, no. Lily. No.

[Sam] I haven't gotten a drop.

There's not a drop.

It's there, it's there. You're gonna get it.

[Grant] Keep going that way.

That's what you're looking for,

that's the inner shell right there.

Why is everyone helping Sam?

I'm also helping you.

This advice applies to everybody with a coconut.

What if I refuse to listen? [laughing]

[chiming]

[bleep]

[bleep] Oh, [bleep]

[suspenseful music]

Oh, this is very exciting. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Ow, ow, ow, ow.

Come out!

[screaming] Come on, Lily.

Oh, oh Lily go faster,

Lily, come on! I can't!

[Director] You have to hold it up to win.

[tense music]

[Grant] Oh no, oh no!

Wow, that was so close.

Wait. Wait.

Oh, no, no, no!

No!

[tense music] [laughing]

But what about mine, [chiming]

that's under. [buzzing]

[laughing]

[groaning]

I was mostly trying to not cut my fingers open.

And for that, I won.

[applauding]

It's been a pleasure

and I think I'll be a better chef because of this.

[applauding] [dramatic music]

You ever hack at a coconut with a knife

and realize that you're the sleepiest you've ever been?

[laughing] [intriguing music]

[Presenter] Erewhon,

you are a luxury shopper.

A series of items from Erewhon,

LA's bougiest grocery store, will be presented.

Write your best guess for the price of each item.

The player closest to the actual price

without going over, earns a point.

The player with the fewest points

at the end of the round is eliminated.

There are five rounds.

Ready?

Ready.

[laughing]

[Presenter] Milk. [tense music]

Is it like a Erewhon exclusive milk?

It's not, I have to say, my baby drinks that milk.

Lily, tell me.

Wait.

[tense music] Geez.

[Oscar] I don't like this. [tense music]

[bell ringing]

What the? Sam?

16? Sam

That's crazy. It's Erewhon.

I bet you that I'm over and closest.

[Presenter] $8.49.

Whoa. Oscar.

Oscar. Me?

Yeah. Oscar gets the point.

What the heck? $8

and 49 cents? Yeah.

Erewhon should close.

[Presenter] A single strawberry.

It's wrapped in a bandage. It's sick.

[chuckling] [tense music]

[bell ringing]

What did you say?

You said 17?

Those are those fancy Japanese strawberries.

Yes $17?

Yes. Yes.

Oh boy. Did you say-

You said 52 cents? I blocked you.

I said five bucks.

I said 52 cents.

Oh, you said 52 cents,

that's crazy low. [laughing]

[Presenter] $19.99.

Grant.

[Sam] [bell chiming] Damn.

That's bad luck.

Vic, I will say that's Who,

bad luck. What do you guys do

with the strawberry after? That single strawberry

is $19?

I'll tell you why they call it Erewhon,

'cause that's everybody who can't afford it, all right.

Erewhon can't afford that goddamn strawberry.

[Lily] [laughing] Oh my god.

Goddamn. Brennan Lee Mulligan,

ladies and gentlemen.

I'll tell you what, that's Damn, okay.

my time folks, you have a great one.

[Presenter] A slice of chocolate cake.

It's just a slice. It's not the whole cake,

so it can't be that expensive.

Oscar, you're using normal people brain.

But that cake looks dense.

I think it's keto.

I don't think it's keto.

[bell chiming] It's just butter?

Oh no. Oh, I said twelve.

Everyone said double digits, huh, okay.

[Presenter] $11.50.

Whoa Nice

Okay. For $11.

I was pretty, I was pretty far off.

[Presenter] Sea moss gel.

Guys, what is that? So expensive, I bet.

Someone angrily calling their wife from Erewhon

being like, is it the sea moss foam or the gel?

[laughing]

See, I buy my sea moss gel at Albertsons.

[laughing] so I have no idea what-

[bell chiming]

[Presenter] $44.

Whoa.

Wow. Grant.

Great Oscar. And I did it all by myself.

$7? What is it though?

[Presenter] Smoothie.

[Lily] Hailey Bieber smoothie.

It's supposed to be good for your skin.

Have you had it before? It tastes delicious.

It tastes like a strawberry creamsicle.

It tastes like candy.

That's a, that's a milkshake.

Higher. Higher you said?

[Director] Time. [Vic exclaiming]

Time Grant, time. Okay, that's time.

You have two points, don't be greedy.

Right. Grant wrote it in French.

It says, this was, I'm trying to say 30.

[Presenter] $21.

Sam. Sam.

So what happens? Someone walks into this restaurant

and says, I'd like a $20 strawberry milkshake?

It means Erewhon can't afford it.

[laughing]

Oh no, oh Grant, no.

[Presenter] With zero correct guesses.

Vic and Brennan face off in an elimination tie breaker.

Almond butter.

Almond butter. How much does it weigh?

You're weighing it. How much does it weigh?

No touching. Don't touch the whisk.

Eleven ounces, gram and that's it.

[laughing]

Ah, ah, security? Security,

security, security?

Okay. What are you writing?

[Brennan] It's almond butter, now-

Box her out, box them out, box them out.

Now the important thing is this.

How much time do we have?

I will crush you, Sam. No time?

[Director] [bell chiming] Time.

That's time. Yeah, that's time.

Okay. What'd you write?

[Brennan] Four.

No way. Four?

I wrote 11.99. Wrong!

$4, Brennan? $4, Brennan?

I got distracted by running

[Presenter] $21.

[Oscar] [bell chiming] Oh!

[laughing]

You know what? That was fun just to watch Brennan's face.

You know why it's $21?

Why? Because Erewhon likes

to watch Brennan lose. [laughing]

[dramatic music]

[Director] How are you feeling about your loss?

Bad. [laughing]

Everyone at home, believe in yourself.

That was really nice. Well done.

[intriguing music]

[Presenter] Sundae.

You are sundae masters.

In teams of two, build the tallest ice cream sundae

using the ingredients provided.

You must include ice cream, a peeled banana,

and a cherry on top.

Once your cherry is placed, you must measure your sundae

to the top of the cherry.

That measurement is final.

Shortest sundae is eliminated.

You have two minutes.

Ready?

Does that mean it's a double elimination round?

You have to say Ready. Ready.

I am ready. Wow.

[tense countdown music]

Have you ever made a sundae before, Sam?

Yeah, sure.

I've never seen a sundae get touched so much

by fingers. No one's eating this.

[Lily] Does the banana have to be unbroken?

Yeah, there we go. No, it didn't say

unbroken banana.

That was not part of the rules.

Peeled, peeled banana. Okay.

I got an idea for that banana.

Ugh, I don't like it when Sam says that.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

[tense music] Okay, keep going.

[Sam] Here we are.

Here's our- 30 seconds.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

[Vic] Here, we gotta put, uh-

[Grant] Ready? [tense music]

I think so. Okay, ready?

Here, let's get them... [dramatic music]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh!

[Vic screaming] Got it, got it, got it.

Here we go. Okay, where's the-

[Sam] [laughing] Okay, good.

[tense countdown music]

10 seconds. Where's your cherry?

Wait, wait, wait. And in five,

Cherry! Have to have it.

Four, The cherry, cherry.

[Director] Three, [tense music]

[Vic] That's not on top, Sam.

[Director] One. [beeping]

Okay. [laughing]

They're cooked, they're toast.

[laughing]

[Lily] This is beautiful.

You remember in the instructions,

you're measuring from the cherry?

This is a second banana by the way.

We have a banana in there.

[Grant] There's a banana inside.

Did you say we were allowed to put the cherry on top

after time went?

Or was that sort of like a beforehand thing?

Literally perfect.

Are they allowed to hold it up?

Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was a part of rules.

[Grant] Is there no law

in this room? We're supporting our son!

This?

I'm not holding this up. Look, it's fine.

Listen, it's fine.

Oh! What?

Wait, what? Oh man,

it was so close guys.

Sorry about that. Listen-

[laughing] [silly music]

Oscar and I had a choice,

and the choice was do we focus on winning the challenge,

or do we build something architectural

that the sundae community has never seen before?

And what we're bringing to the forefront

is sort of questioning the structure of a sundae.

Well. [Sam sighing]

[laughing] [silly music]

[Presenter] Sandwich.

You are a flavor detective.

Blindfolded, take one bite of the sandwich,

then recreate it using the ingredients provided.

When time is called,

each correctly identified ingredient earns a point.

Each incorrectly identified ingredient loses you a point.

The player with the most points wins the game.

You have two minutes.

Ready?

That's so fun. Ready?

This is fun.

I'm toast.

[tense countdown music]

[beeping] This feels unfair

'cause Grant has a horse's mouth.

[sniggering] It's so big, it's so big.

Lily, the director asked so nicely

for silence during the bite.

I wasn't listening.

[tense music] [laughing]

That was too much.

You're not gonna get your taste buds

where they need to go.

You got way too much in there.

You're flying blind. No, don't do it,

don't let him do it.

Vic is like a fly,

their taste buds are in their fingers.

[laughing]

Their taste buds are on their chin.

[Oscar] If you're choking, make a signal.

[tense music]

Oh, you want a high five?

[Director] Okay, let's clear the sandwiches.

Hold on one sec.

[laughing]

[Lily] Dammit. [tense music]

So I didn't taste any of these things in there.

I'm so glad I gotta bite of that sandwich.

I wanted a bite. You gotta-

[tense music] [beep]

[tense music continues]

Are these different things, are these different?

[Oscar] You're not blindfolded, you can see that.

No, but I just don't know

if they're different or just smaller.

How many ingredients do we think were on there total?

50. I think all of them.

I don't know, my taste buds don't work.

Uhhh- [Lily coughing]

[Lily] That's so funny.

Hey Vic, can I get a little of that oil?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. In my mouth?

Ooh! Vic, do you think it was

Have some of that. the Provolone not the Swiss?

[Vic] No tomato for sure.

[tense countdown music]

[Director] Vic, what did you put in your sandwich?

I have literally no idea.

[laughing]

I can't name half of these things,

I did a circled piece of cheese.

[Female Director] You've got provolone and salami there.

[Vic] A turkey, skinny green,

Arugula. Arugula.

Mustard, mayo, salt, and I put a tiny bit of?

Sherry vinegar. Sherry vinegar.

[Sam] Sherry vinegar.

I put on my sandwich:

mayo, mustard, ham, turkey, provolone cheese,

romaine lettuce, pickled onions,

and a little sprinkle of oregano

and a little sprinkle of salt that I think I'm regretting.

No tomato? There was no tomato

on that sandwich. Was there tomato on mine?

This was a red herring.

It was a red, it was a very red herring.

Red herring, yeah.

No matter what happens, this won't change us.

No. We'll come back here

a year from today.

Yeah, we'll stay Epicurious.

We all promised that we would leave this

more Epicurious than when we came in.

[Lily] Yeah.

[Presenter] Vic receives zero points.

Grant receives five points.

Whoa. Wow.

Whoa! Congratulations.

Congratulations to both of us, really.

Hey, I'm happy for-

I was very confident coming in,

and I'm happy to be have been proven right.

[dramatic music]

Hey guys, I decided I'm gonna eliminate myself

and I hope that everybody can sort of

take a lesson from this.

So Oscar, this one's for you.

[Grant gasping]

Oh! [clapping]

Do I get to keep this?

I will put this up in my house.

I felt confident coming into this game.

I eat a lot, I taste a lot of things.

He can fit a lot in his mouth.

I can fit a lot in my big mouth.

I've cracked a coconut before

and there's actually a proper tool for that.

But you guys didn't provide, so.
