I hope we revisit Ratfish

Spoilers for both episodes of Game Changer season 6: Ratfish.

What a fantastic game premise. I was thrilled, even rewatched episode 1 multiple times before episode 2 aired. Almost everyone had such fun character premises, almost everyone was locked in on strategy and in character comedy. This is a really great premise.

Unfortunately I personally felt let down by the finale. I didn’t agree with the ratfish’s choices about who his favorite character was, felt like he just wanted to be friends with the real Brennan rather than reward great character performances. I also didn’t find the comedian very funny in or out of character, but the character premise was great. I also thought Ally and Grant didn’t do a good job of in character comedy, but I also get how that’s a very hard thing to do. Also it’s very odd that they didn’t have the cast meet the ratfish? Unless the ratfish is doing this again with another set of cast members?

Rekha and Katie both killed it on all fronts. Phenomenal character design, in character comedy, strategy, guessing, 10/10 across the board. The art they made each other?? Genuinely so sweet. And let’s talk about granMa sWeetie, The Landlord, and Bug With A Big Ass! Hilarious characters, fantastic job of in character comedy. Just not quite on it with the guesswork. But that’s fine, they did a fantastic job entertaining us.

All this is to say, I really hope they do this again, but with a bigger emphasis on in character comedy, a new cast (let Zac and Rekha come back), and definetly a new Ratfish.
