Ive always found the structure of the episodes onThe Traitorsa little strange.
In this instance, say yes.
But first, lets pick up with the beginning of episode three.
Everyone is in the breakfast room pecking at stale croissants and waiting to find out who is dead.
If I were a Traitor, this would be the hardest part of the game for me.
Everyone has filed into breakfast but Brandi and Bam, whom we have barely even heard from.
Then Brandi comes in wearing one of Alan Cummings berets and we all know Bams been banished.
This is actually an excellent ejection from the traitors.
The faithful are sitting around looking for evidence of who might be a Traitor.
The only direct action that the faithful know the traitors are making are the murders.
theyll all be asking.
The traitors dont even have a reason other than sending everyone into a tizzy it worked.
After breakfast, a fight breaks out between Michael, Brandi, Kate, and the rest of humanity.
Brandi and Kate say they should vote Michael because he pushed so hard for Geraldine and was wrong.
Its as good a strategy as any.
Azra doesnt like the fighting and says, I cant do this.
Where did you think this was going?
After the game, everyone is lounging around the castle trying to figure out who the traitors are.
Brandi has chosen Michael, Cirie, and Christian.
Two out of three aint bad.
Kate is on the same page.
This makes little sense to me.
Brandi was the one arguing that Geraldine was not a Traitor.
They booted her anyway and she revealed that she wasnt a Traitor.
Brandi was right, but theyre accusing her of acting like a Traitor because shes throwing out names.
Also, the person who is leading the charge against them is Michael, who was wrong last week.
Why listen to this guy again?
Hes clearly bad at this.
Thats like needing dental work and sitting down in Ryan Lochtes chair rather than calling a professional.
As they go around the table, the votes are split between Michael, Brandi, and Kate.
Kyle literally just told them, Traitorsshould be fun.
Brandi gets enough votes to head home early and shouts Idiots!
on her way out.
Brandis gotta Brandi.
This is a lucky break for the Traitors, because she had them pegged.
Yeah, but theyve been right (about everyone but Michael).
After the roundtable, Stephenie sees a piece of paper fall out of Kates skirt when she gets up.
Stephenie decides this means that Kate is a Traitor.
But now Stephenie has something concrete to hold on to.
What does she do with the information?
Runs right to a Traitor!
She goes to Cirie, whom she trusts implicitly, and only shows her the note.
I know shes not a Traitor for a fact, Stephenie says.
That she told you?
That is not a fact.
This is literally a game about lying to a group of people.
Youre going to trust something someone said because youve met her at a handful ofSurvivorevents over the years?
Episode four starts and we get the traitors meeting.
But why attempt to frame Kate when there is still a contingent of people who think shes a Traitor?
Better yet to throw heat onto someone else and keep themselves clean.
Why does no one say, Who else saw this?
Could you be a Traitor trying to pin this on Kate?
And, know what, she has been mostly right, so why are they so pressed?
Its like theyre Taylor Swift fans and she just put on some Kanye.
The crazy thing is, none of it makes sense.
They say that Kate has told the most lies in the game.
What has Kate lied about?
She disagreed with the last two votes and was right.
They havent all told her they know about the note, so she hasnt even lied about that.
The only thing the contestants have to go off of arefeelz.
At the round table it becomes Kate versus Michael: round two.
But this time, Amanda brings up the note.
Yes, the same Brandi who they know, undoubtedly, was a Faithful.
Even if Kate is a Traitor, why would she be plotting with Brandi?
The real winner of the roundtable is my knight, Kyle.
He says that for the past two nights, they listened to Michael and he was wrong.
Why are they going to listen to Michael again?
Because they hate Kate and no one has any better ideas?
Quentin says he doesnt think its Michael, but he offers no alternative.
I think thats what happens when you mix celebrities and muggles, especially reality-television professionals.
Of course Kate is going to sow chaos and create drama.
That is literally her occupation.
Thats like assuming that Andie is going to be good at a musical challenge.
Its odd to me how so much of this early stage of the game is about pack mentality.
Well, I guess it makes sense.
But dont they have their own opinions?
I dont think Kate is a Traitor, but Im trying to save myself, Michael says.
Well, why vote for someone you dont think is a Traitor?
Vote for someone whois.
This is what Kyle was talking about last episode.
The episode ends with the traitors deliberation and I love how much Cirie and Cody clearly hate Christian.
But its Cirie and Cody who really get into it.
Cody is coming for my lover Kyle because people are starting to suspect him.
Cirie wants to get rid of Ryan because hes supposedly close with Cody and she cant trust them together.
That is just how they talk onBig Brother.
Cody, this is a new game.
Youre not in a house, youre in a castle.
