(Its also the game inBodies, Bodies, Bodies,for what its worth.)
From watching the U.K. version, they are almost always wrong.
(The turret of Alan Cummings castle sounds like it could be a sex position.)
They decide whom of the faithful they want to kill.
I have a feeling its getting to episode ten.
The hardest part in the games early stages is getting to know all the players.
You need a large pool of people if there will be two eliminations every day.
(Spoiler alert: Its not out there and is also very unethical.)
The first order of business is selecting from the 20 players who the three traitors will be.
Here, Cumming just walks around the circle and taps three people.
(Dear Jeff Probst, get rid of some of the idols.)
Even Cody and Cirie hate this guy.
I am going to stab and murder and destroy people, Christian says.
Has anyone told him the murder on this show does not include literal murder?
The ceiling is $250,000, but they have to earn all of that.
But if there is even one traitor left in the game, the traitors win it.
That means the traitors have no incentive to throw the challenges.
Thats why I like to call this showIdiot Mole.
At this stage of the game, my favorite player is Ryan Lochte.
Everyone has agreed that he is too dumb to be a traitor.
Hes walking around the house looking for a secret room and cant find one.
There isnt much here to do but judge people.
But I think the biggest mistake this show makes is having people who already know one another compete.
With seconds to spare, both teams complete the challenge and add $30,000 to the prize pot.
There were a few problems at the challenge, though.
Reza freaks out on everyone, making himself a huge target.
I love how both Cirie and Cody, reality-TV vets, think Christian is playing this whole thing wrong.
Meanwhile, when Christian sees the other two traitors, he says, I didnt even suspect them.
Yeah, because they are, you know, good at this.
Cumming comes to breakfast, and he is having the most fun of his entire career.
He plucks Rezas picture off the wall and throws it on the floor.
Why did they make these people so ugly?
Is it so theywantto be murdered?
Did Kyle move without telling me?
Have I been stalking the wrong apartment?
The blue and yellow teams get their targets, scoring $20,000 for the prize pot.
Arie is not an asshole.
There is definitely some traitorlike behavior during the challenge.
Because after the traitors were revealed, she was fidgety.
Honestly, Geraldine is the only one using logic here.
I am also impressed with how good she is at this game.
Shes two out of three.
However, shes going along with the group and voting for Michael.
This is a bad strategy.
Of course, a traitor would go along with the group.
Its a way to get a faithful out without drawing attention to yourself.
If you vote your conscience, then at least youre not going with the herd mentality.
Although Michael gets nearly enough votes to send him home, he strong-arms enough people into voting for Geraldine.
She reveals shes a faithful, and everyone is crushed.
When they convene, Cody tells Christian and Cirie that Brandi has it in for both of them.
Is she going to go home?
Did someone say her name backward three times so shell disappear?
