Ah, just when I was about to be so impressed with the husband actually accepting that his mother did it, being honest with the police, and wanting to help the investigation, he back tracks later. Maybe he was just destroyed by the whole thing, and couldn't face it.
Based on the way they described how the grandmother tried to be the mother to her son's child, she struck me as quite overbearing. The daughter-in-law likely pushed back because that's not the way she grew up but the son probably had years of conforming to her desires. Once he left the police station after the confrontation, she could work on him.

Yeah but it's not like it was a license plate. It was an after market effect which I'm sure wasn't exclusive to her truck. And they drove past her house and said to the guy "do you recognize any vehicles?" I think it would have been better to show him a few pictures of similar looking trucks and have him point it out.

Eh, they've got that female FBI agent taking the 'law enforcement' role, so I don't think it's that big of a loss. Seems like she'll have an arc with Nadia.
I don't think Garrett's absence is as a law enforcement figure, specifically. If that's all it was, then Paris (I refer to as Paris even though I never watched Gilmore Girls) would be fine. The issue is that her relationship was strictly with Garrett. They have to develop her connection to the rest of the cast as much as they have to do the same with the Sin Cara crew. That's why I said I think it's difficult.

They wanted to show more of Arman’s background and how he got where he was even before Adan passed and I think they are trying to stick with some of that this season, which is why he wasn’t killed off on the show immediately this season and we are left to think he is quite possibly alive but hiding from or maybe having been taken by rivals of his aunt’s cartel. No matter what they manage to bandage together this season, I don’t see it getting renewed. They are probably regretting killing off Garret/Oliver Hudson’s character at this point. It would have left them more options had he survived.
They're keeping Arman alive because at the time they filmed this, everyone was hoping Adan Canto would beat his cancer and return to the show. He didn't die until later in production.
But I also wonder if they regret killing off Garret. It's tough to lose two main characters on a show with basically only 5.

Deadly Swap: Twist! It wasn't the husband for a change, it was his mother! I kind of suspected it the first time they mentioned Joanna, they made a point of being very specific about how she didn't get along with Heather then just dropped it until they circled around back to her.
I thought for sure it was the girlfriend when I saw her because she looked thin and seemed like she could have been the figure in the security feed. But then their alibis cleared and we learned more about Joanna. (I guess the son could still have been involved but I don't think he would have caved about his mom if he were. ) I wonder if the son even fought for custody or if there just wasn't any money left once the mother needed to put up a defense*.
*I am a little surprised they got a conviction. The evidence felt rather flimsy.On 3/16/2024 at 10:53 AM, iMonrey said:Still, I thought Heather's new boyfriend was awfully glib when the police brought him in for an interview. For someone who claimed to be in love with Heather he didn't seem to be the least bit distraught over her murder.
He seemed more upset in the Dateline interview he did years later. But all we get is a quick snapshot of the interviews and he might have been numb or felt in control during that moment. Not everyone cries a lot. I think I've said before that I don't and I hope I'm never suspected of murder on Dateline because you'd all declare me guilty because of how unusually I react to death. Seriously, I think I cried once, alone, right after my dad died and never again and had to control myself from not laughing out loud during my uncle's funeral when everyone else was crying.
I'm a psychopath, y'all, just not one inclined to murder.

And did it not dawn on anyone there that while yes, it was pretty horrible for Chelsea to violate Jimmy’s confidence, it was the show that chose to put that in the episode?
I don't think anyone is expecting the show to care about the woman's privacy which is why Jimmy told Chelsea off-camera, asked her not to mention it on-camera and felt betrayed when she brought it up during an on-camera argument.

I wanted to love it because I love Paris but I watch these in the background and I still don't think I could tell you who was murdered.
And I did think it was ridiculous you'd have two French people speak to one another in English and yet they'd also start randomly using French phrases with the English speaker.
The culprit did surprise me though.
I'd watch another given the setting.

Don't Trevor and Jeramy make even more sense?
(And really, Jimmy, Johnny and Jeramy is just a casting fail in terms of names. )

There were things I liked about it and things I didn't. I think it would have been more interesting if Athena started having a bit of panic about being cooped up after she got on the ship instead of being cooped up with Bobby. I'm sure she wouldn't be the first to think a cruise sounds like a good idea only to feel a bit cooped up by the fact that you can only go so far.
I feel like we've seen something similar with Christopher related to his mother before so that felt like a retread even if I liked his scenes with Buck and Oliver.
But I did like the relationship theme of the rescues.

i wonder why Lauren and Cameron were not there.
It sounds like the S1 people (or at least couples) are moving away from the franchise. I recently read that Lauren said that their contract with Netflix ended and she didn't really watch the show any longer.

Joe Manganiello surprised me. He wasn't just good. He was out of this world at times. He had almost telepathic connections with the contestants. And he got so many of the final passwords with the contestants. I feel bad for the second contestant because Jimmy was just bad.

Peppermint because she was trans. She was "targeted" because she was 'different' and did not act in a way that Trishelle "expected" when Trishelle made her rude comment.
And if I remember correctly, we saw Peppermint's reaction and it was a nothingburger, IMO. A nothingburger that Trishelle blew up.
4 minutes ago, Cherry Styles said:Have you seen any challenges, or real world? Trishelle has been around lots of people.
She came into The Traitors with a reputation of being the queen of microaggressions because of what she did in The Challenge. The way she reacted to Peppermint is just a continuation of that, especially since she went after Peppermint first. Being around a lot of different people doesn't prevent someone from performing acts of microaggression.

I think Clark Duke (Dale) might have been the most successful post-Greek. Oh and I guess James Franco and Olivia Munn (who both had very small roles in this show).
None have broken out big but I don't know that Clark Duke has had a better career than Jake McDornan (who has lead or co-lead a few series), Scott Michael Foster (been a series regular in other things), Amber Stevens West (also a series regular in other things, or Paul James (has had regular series roles recently.)

It does make me wonder though, if there had been no Covid to delay the trail, if he would have gotten off as wife Michelle may have not have had a change of heart yet.
I think it'd depend on whether or not the prosecution opted to go to trial or not. They did seem to be losing evidence.
I will say that they were unclear about how much they pushed her. Prosecutors might have met with her more often to see if she still stuck with her alibi which may have led to her cracking a bit. And she might have gotten cold feet once she realized she would have to testify to the alibi under oath.

Technically, it's a premiere for Hallmark. Guiding Emily originally aired on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries.

Larsa is so shallow that she only went on the show to be on TV. That tracks for her.
One "benefit" of all-start seasons is that you could make that claim about 100% of the celebs and be right. To regular people playing the game, the money likely matters quite a bit. To the celebs, it probably doesn't matter all that much. They're doing this to be on TV.
7 hours ago, Cherry Styles said:I didn't quite understand why Peppermint made the speech about that. I didn't see the banishment being from people not liking Peppermint. Trishelle freaked out because she thought Peppermint was mad. And it all spiraled after that. But it wasn't because of anyone's sexual orientation.
Peppermint's point is that it's easy to target someone different, under the guise of game play. I doubt anyone consciously decided to go after her because she was a trans woman* but quite a few felt very comfortable targeting her first as "suspicious" and may not actually question why that is.
*Although Trishelle, apparently has developed a reputation during The Challenge competitions of targeting minorities.

Would it have killed them to express just a twinge of regret for voting out someone who was loyal to them?
But was she loyal to them? Or did she just not target them because there were other people she was voting out? I don't think MJ played with strategy or an alliance. If she had, she would have considered that CT and Trishelle were competitive and would want to "win" as much as they could and likely were more loyal to one another than they would be to her. That wouldn't be the case with Kate, Sandra, and an MJ alliance.

I can't fault MJ or Phaedra for still being in their feelings. I assume this was taped right after the finale episode, so MJ had maybe 24 hours to process her betrayal. And say what you want, she was betrayed. It's a game, and they had a right to throw her aside and keep more money for themselves, but they could at least own their choice. It was the gleeful celebration with zero regard for MJ's broken heart at the final vote that kept me from cheering CT and Trishelle's win. One day later and I hadn't forgiven them, so I wouldn't expect MJ to, either. It's not about right or wrong or gameplay, it's just human decency.
This was filmed in NY recently. I think last week or two weeks ago. So it has been months.
On 3/8/2024 at 12:08 AM, Sweet-n-Snarky said:Bananas even attempting to agree with "its just a game" given his own track record of being emotional as heck is crazy.
I don't know his history but he even demonstrated his emotional side in this episode with his trying to make it seem like he was murdered just because the traitors were afraid of him. That certainly didn't sound to me like he respected "the game" aspect of it.
11 hours ago, Ivana Tinkle said:I wish Andy would've asked everyone who suspected Phaedra BEFORE Dan threw her under the bus, not the other way around. I still feel like she got screwed.
Didn't he ask this? I seem to recall people raising their hands that they hadn't suspected Phaedra until Dan threw her name out at the banishment ceremony...although someone (maybe Sandra or Peter?) said she started to get suspicious just before that ceremony because both Phaedra and Parvati said something about Peter being a bloodhound (or something similar) and this person thought it was strange they both used the same terms.

I believe him when he says he wanted to vote MJ simply because Trischelle was sincerely the only player he fully trusted and just wasn't gonna take the chance on MJ.
I don't know CT (or really any of the celebs beyond a passing recognition in some cases) but I'd find this easier to believe if it were about anyone but MJ. There's no way I'd believe she'd be able to pull off the traitor role. It feels like she's pure emotion and if Kate's behavior gave things away, then MJ would have had a zillion tells.

And since he couldn't win, he didn't want the other traitors to win, either. What he did wasn't "game play". He was butt hurt and petty.
I'd agree with this if he hadn't already made so many boneheaded decisions as a traitor that ultimately doomed his own game. I don't think it out of pettiness. I do think he thought he was smarter than he was with his stuff like "looking 10 steps into the future" stuff he was trying to claim in the reunion.
I don't buy CT didn't know that Kate was the traitor. I suspect he recognized the numbers.

I didn't see the reunion show from Season 1. Were there as many hard feelings among the Season 1 cast as there are among the Season 2 cast?
From what I recall:
SpoilerYes, there were bad feelings, especially with Andy and Quentin who were the runner-ups and felt very duped because they trusted Cirie.
And Arie is still bitter that Cirie through him under the bus.
The episode surprised me a bit more than I thought it would. MJ's reaction when CT and Trishelle voted to hold another vote was gold. Voting out Sandra was so dumb on her part and I didn't feel bad for her one bit. Even if Sandra were a traitor, she should have seen the CT and Trishelle alliance coming.
But Trishelle choosing to vote out CT during the first vote legit surprised me.

When was this filmed? Wondering how much time has lapsed between the weddings and reunion.
This was filmed last March/April. There's usually about year between filming and airing on LIB. So this filmed spring 2023. I believe Tampa filmed in Fall 2023 and we'll probably get that season then. Minneapolis is filming now and we'll probably get that in spring 2025. There may be another season filmed elsewhere in the US if they want to up to 3 a year but I'm guessing they'll fill in the breaks with international seasons.
5 hours ago, Chicago Redshirt said:As to Jimmy/girl friend with benefit(s), I dunno. I find it plausible that they just had a fling that they moved past. The notion of him trying to preserve her "honor" strikes me as ridiculous.
I think it's because people can be weird about being friends with someone you hooked up with, especially if they're very platonic now. I think honesty is the best policy but I can see why he'd want to let her control that revelation for future partners for herself instead of having it being shared to everyone.
2 hours ago, ZaldamoWilder said:I never remember Amy and Johnny until I see em. She needs to get her goofy ass on the pill though. There’s a man made contraceptive so popularly effective that it doesn’t even have a name, it’s just called THE pill and she’s worried about how it will affect hormones that it was manufactured to work in conjunction with. It’s giving Disney. You’re a whole wife, talk to your OBGN.
She has shared that there are medical reasons she has been hesitant about the pill. I'm sure they're working towards a solution but I'm guessing she couldn't make an appointment with her doctor within the confines of the filming schedule. I know it takes me a while to get an appointment.
What I don't get is why everyone is acting like they're not being intimate. Amy has said that they're 'having fun' which means they could be doing a whole lot of sexual activity that don't involve a pregnancy risk.
Overall, this wedding episode was better than many in the past even if it did come down to one couple sharing generational joy vs. another sharing generational pain.
I loved Amy and Johnny's families together and Clay's mom delivered the best line to her ex. But I do wonder if Clay is ever going to truly be ready. If they're still dating, I hope she's getting something out of the relationship.

I thought this was a really good episode. It relied on old sitcom troops (fleet week, someone turned on by being talked sternly to, poker) but I thought there were quite a few funny bits.

I know some people didn't like this as much as the first season but I did. I also found it easier to follow.
I think the ending hints at a possible S3 but also works as a coda on this season where Helen has decided to give in to trusting Elliott/Eugene even with the lack of proof while proof that there may be more "good guy" about him is burning in the fireplace.

In other news, Verstappen wins the Bahrain GP but the real drama seems to be happening at Alpine and the Visa CashApp RB teams👀
So much going on that Netflix's Drive To Survive will likely never cover because it makes F1 look bad. It's part of the reason I stopped watching the show once the show made me start paying attention to the actual sport. The real drama surpasses the fake docudrama.

I think that's part of the joke surrounding "taking care" of his daughter and selling the violin. It's not that he couldn't suddenly die but he stood a pretty good chance of not only pulling through this medical crisis but retaining much/all of his cognitive function.
