TV Shows!

I think maybe the last one was The Circle for me. Got hooked on the first season of that too, it felt really fresh, like the Traitors does which is difficult to do in reality TV these days.

Finally caught up. Some very brief thoughts on episode 9.

Amanda definitely made a stupid decision in that round table but i feel like she can pull it back if she is smart enough. Potentially say that Theo was her 100% just because she never really thought about him but afterwards, started to consider him. Probably needs to make sure she doesnt get too defensive either considering how calm she has been throughout the entire thing. However, it seems Wilf might be wanting to through her under the bus so who knows what will happen.

Also up to date now!

I donā€™t think Wilfred knows she messed up trying to deflect and protect him! But however heā€™s justifying it, it was always clear to me heā€™d turn either way. Hoping when he does try to take Amanda down, it backfires. But that could be a problem too if they remember what he did to Alyssa, it might just throw more suspicion towards Amanda, meaning the faithfuls will win.

I try to look at this like Iā€™m playing a game of Among Us, and how those games tend to go. As a faithful, Maddie is the one Iā€™d rally to kick for wasting the emergency button or just getting all the crewmates wrongly kicked by thinking one is sus for dumb reasons. As a traitor, Iā€™d want will on my team in among us, but thatā€™s because I still win if he does by ratting me out when I mess up to keep suspicion off him. Doesnā€™t work in the traitors though.

Ah! Trying to recruit Alex! It would have been ace if they succeeded. A shame she said no, but I think predictable, and they should have just killed. Also surprised no one picked up Alyssa casually switching her vote to Will after he went after her. That would have made me sus it was traitor vs traitor.

The thing about Maddy is that no one is listening to her and the rest of the faithfuls are more suspicious of Aaron. If they vote Aaron off then Maddyā€™s big theory kinda falls apart anyway. I think the traitors have done a good job at killing the leaders of the group rather than anything super tactical. I think they need to considering killing Hannah soon as I think she will have more sway on the group as it gets smaller.

Yeah but for a while she wanted to get Will first, which would have given her influence and people would listen. And then Aaron would go. Likewise, if they did kick Aaron first because sheā€™s so adamant, it just makes her look even more sus and then thatā€™s two faithful lives wasted. As a faithful sheā€™s a detriment. And Iā€™m not sure sheā€™d make for a good traitor either. Iā€™d be voting for no one else until sheā€™s out. As a faithful she plays it like a fourth traitor, and as a traitor, I get the impression from that sheā€™d play it the same way and be like an obvious traitor too. For the traitors sheā€™s the gift that keeps on giving and Iā€™d want to keep her around for as long as possible, even if she was sussing me too. She could become a problem the smaller it gets if she doesnā€™t get banished though.

@N26throwaway (episode 9 spoilers)

Summary

I agree, if I was faithful Iā€™d be voting her out at this point just because she isnā€™t contributing and actually would be doing my head in. Even if you donā€™t get a traitor at least you havenā€™t lost anything.

Wilf brings a lot of enjoyment to the show to me. Heā€™s playing the game and generally doing it well. I donā€™t blame him for that, I think heā€™s a good guy.

I was a little bit frustrated with ep 8 when

it looked like the Faithfuls were finally turning on Maddie as sheā€™s been annoying me from the start - and they it was announced that there would be no banishment that day.
Also, ok youā€™re in a tense situation but I also donā€™t see how her turning down the ā€˜leave now with Ā£3kā€™ offer proves sheā€™s not a traitor - it could mean that sheā€™s got her eye on the main prize and didnā€™t just want a tiny lump sum

Thatā€™s a lot of words, yet youā€™re still missing 7 (6? I no longer trust macOSā€™s find and replace, I see the x, but it does not) letters of the alphabet! Why did designers ever think this was a good idea? My y descender matters just as much as my g!

Given the traitors are still clearly winning it would have looked quite sus to me.

Exactly. The faithfuls are masters of confirmation bias.

Spoiler my friend! There still might be someone in the country other than @DaveJ who hasnā€™t seen it :smiley:

It wasnā€™t a spoiler.

Also, I donā€™t deem things to be spoilers which were broadcast days ago. It is a little less black and white if a whole season drops at once. At what point are things not spoilers anyhow? An hour after? A week? A year? What is a sensible cut off point? If I go to the BBC website will it spoil who won the World Cup? What if I havenā€™t watched it yet? Me me me. :grinning:

The bit you quoted was a spoiler!

I didnā€™t realise ā€˜what a spoiler isā€™ was such a philosophical question until now though.

Wonā€™t ever see it, unless masked men storm my house and force me to watch it :rofl:

Bought this last week to add to the list of Christmas games we can play. Arrived today and just had a skim of the instructions. Seems like it might be a decently fun card game!

Theyā€™re another Royal Mail ditcher, so even though it says itā€™ll be dispatched with Royal Mail, mine was dispatched with Evri, so Christmas delivery should still be possible if anyone wants to buy it.

Finally found a video of Maddy in Casualty. I think she just seemed to be playing herself in both EastEnders and Casualty. The Casualty video seemed a lot more natural because of that (was a primary school assistant which you can picture Maddy as anyway) whereas she didnt really come across very genuine as homeless.

She seems like a genuine person though, and despite some people here, i wouldnt vote her out. Shes not afraid to go against what everyone else thinks which is useful.
