That's exactly why I preferred the UK series one version, the stakes were much higher. $50K (or pounds) is a much bigger deal for a regular person rather than a reality show alum.
The regular UK people play hard, much harder than the USA regular people for the one season we had them.
The UK people are also good at creating drama as well as they are good at creative gameplay. Even though I spoiled the ending for myself on the UK show, I still find the people enjoyable to watch.

I am in the middle of the UK season, so I will not open the spoiler tag, but this kind of gives it away.........
I was looking up something about Season 1 of the UK show, and while looking that up, I absent-mindedly clicked on Season 2 of the UK show and saw how it ended... and I was pissed that I spoiled it for myself. After successfully avoiding spoilers for a while now, it was my own dumbass fault that it was spoiled. 😂

I'm only just finding out this show was cancelled.

Remember the time Rob convinced everyone on the Amazing Race to not eat some gross meat? He couldn’t get whatever it was down & chose to take the penalty, I think two hours of sitting before continuing on. Everyone who came to the challenge after him ended up joining him & Amber, just waiting. His power of persuasion at its best. So I don’t think not knowing him from Survivor matters much, he’s able to read people quite well. I enjoy watching him, so as long as he’s there, I’ll keep watching.
He did something similar on Survivor. The opposing alliance on Survivor had caught a lot of fish and they were willing to share. Rob convinced his alliance that the fish was bad and they shouldn't eat it, and Rob's alliance didn't eat the fish. Rob was reveling in the fact that he has these people under control.

Damn, we get fine ass Michael Ealy this season! And it's the final season.
Two birds, one stone: Tariq's expiration date and Michael Ealy all at the same time 😂

There's a reason they call her "Trashelle."
I'm cheap and waited for the whole season to finish before signing up for Peacock. Then I will watch all this in a few days and cancel again. But a CT/Phaedra show? I'd sign up on time and pay good money for that.
I hope you got a free trial 😂

When I was watching the fire pit part, I thought for sure that CT and Trishelle had discussed (obviously off camera) and were in on it. I was shocked when she voted for him. I was certain that they had "gamed" it together to win the money just for the two of them, and - quite frankly - thought they were brilliant little sneaks. Good for them! And I'm still not convinced that they didn't, and that Trishelle's vote for him wasn't just for drama. But, CT's shocked face did look real.
If Trishelle had voted for MJ, I would believe that they planned it.
That's a real risk to take if they didn't vote the same way.

How exactly does someone win the game in the end? Once they're down to two or three people (or whatever the final number of people will be), how is the winner determined?

Damn. Claudia was most of my entertainment on this show.
The 3rd episode was hilarious!

No one ever said Trishelle "targeted" 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. Whether that was because Trishelle has not been around many women of color, transwomen, or large women, is unknown. But Trishelle took Peppermint's response, unexpected to Trishelle, and made a huge thing about it, enough that it got a whole bunch of other people talking about it. Peppermint was surprised by the "huge thing" when it was brought up at breakfast, addressed it and and then thought it was done. But people still kept bringing up without any valid reason to do so (at least as shown on the TV because they appeared to have dropped the "moved air" by Parvati and the "heavy breathing" by John, once those were addressed), and it flustered Peppermint so much that it was still an issue, she was still being targeted for her 'unexpected to Trishelle' response, that she then misspoke, which subsequently doomed her.
In addition to this, we are taking about Peppermint's perception of the events and all the emotions that it triggers within her and all of trauma that she may have experienced in her past because she was 'different.' Peppermint is talking about how she felt, and all of the things it reminded her of.
People were grasping at straws and will take any little thing to single someone out. It's the nature of the game and the show. People will take one small and insignificant thing and blow it up. It doesn't even have to make sense. If the subject all of that negative attention can't make sense of why they are getting all of that negative attention, it doesn't seem like a leap for them to think 'it's like being in high school all over again when [XYZ] happened and/or I was bullied because I was different, and I recognize that it's happening again to me now in this game.'

Did Sheree even speak at the reunion??
They left Sheree on the cutting room floor.

Because apparently, based on what Kate and others said is that MJ DID have a relationship with CT. And that friendship didn't make the cut like, say, Phaedra's fondness for CT.
Based on all the interviews I've listened to about the season, it seems like CT made the effort to be cool and have relationships with everyone, especially the ladies on the show. It's been said that he would greet each of them individually every morning, check on them, and always make sure they were all good. Watching the show, you wouldn't know any of that.

So how much of this cast list is bullshit? This is a banger of cast list and seems too good to be true. 🤔

Did he watch other seasons? Most of the traitors absolutely sabotaged each other. So even if Phaedra wasn't inclined to do that, it was a reasonable fear.
I think the fear is reasonable. I didn't think his explanation made much sense when I first heard it. He says that he didn't see a path to winning with Phaedra in the game. My first thought upon hearing that is that there doesn't have to be only one winner. Two traitors can win the game. For Dan to win, it wasn't necessary for Phaedra to leave. I didn't quite understand why he thought that Phaedra needed to go for him to win. Also, considering that he had so much heat on him, he needed to focus on surviving for the day rather than the finish line.
Step #1 is survive. Step #2 is win. His explanation seemed to be geared toward step #2 over step #1.

What I've heard a couple of cast members say is that at some point before Dan's banishment, Phaedra was on their ever changing "could be" list. So, Dan moved her from "who knows" to probably, not from "definitely a faithful" to probably. Also, it seems that some people didn't believe him!
From listening to all the interviews I've heard with the cast, it seemed like nearly everyone was a suspect at some point. The castmembers are allowed to have notebooks or journals, and a few people have said that they're list of "possibles" was an ever-revolving door of people early on in the game. I remember one interview from Sandra where she mentioned that for a split-second, she wrote down Sheree's name as a possible traitor. If that's the case, she saw something in Sheree that we didn't see in the show. Basically, she was saying that people were picking up on any random thing to catch a traitor, even "if a person sneezed the wrong way."
I imagine everyone was in someone's "could be?" column at some point for any random reason, especially early in the show. For example, Janelle thought Larsa could have been a traitor because she proposed a toast for Marcus. They were grasping at straws, trying to create some rationale out of nothing.

So, MJ was basically playing the game the way it's intended to be played. I feel CT and Trishelle both mostly did that as well tbh. And I appreciated that about all of them.
With regard to MJ, yes. It seems she was genuinely hunting for traitors.
For CT and Trishelle, I think it was a mixed bag. I feel like CT went with the numbers when it was convenient. With Trishelle, I think her game may have been a little different if her alliance wasn’t getting wiped out everyday. I think once her entire alliance put themselves out there and decided to isolate themselves (with a minority of numbers), Trishelle didn’t have much of a choice but to actually try to get out people she thought were traitors because she was vulnerable every time. Trishelle couldn’t coast with numbers like the Bravo people. She had to try everything she could because she was at risk of being voted out or murdered every time.
I think MJ had the best of both worlds. People believed she was a faithful and they considered her to be within the Bravo clique. People knew voting for MJ would have been a wasted banishment and she was within the Bravo clique so I believe she had some amount of protection from murder with Phaedra being a traitor. That allowed her to seemingly coast, be a little rogue and have no consequences for a stray vote.

That makes sense. That was around the end of CT’s “meathead” era. His first win was season 24.

S02.E12: Reunion
in The Traitors (USA)
Yup. Same challenges.
Watch the UK version. At least watch the first season.
