THIS. I honestly felt like Parvati was sincere in her apology to Philip. It must be nice to be so perfect that you never have to apologize for anything Philip. Hopefully he shows more grace to his actual friends and family IRL because his attitude of one and done is very isolating. Dickson is obnoxious. Did Parvati explain that he was no safer not playing the banker if La Shell won? He was at risk either way. I honestly wish La Shell had won and sent him home. The Family is stupid and needs to be dismantled. I would love for Lete to win over David and Parvati.

I don't want to get too political, but at this stage, I think I would be willing to entertain actual James Marsden as a candidate after the most recent choices in the last few elections 🤣 When he told Xavier that he thought his wife voted for the other candidate my mind immediately went to our current First Lady.....makes you wonder 😜 I really like this. I wasn't spoiled going in, but I did think something was off: I thought it weird that the people guarding the president were so young and inexperienced. I couldn't believe Xavier waited 30 minutes to call it in - it's not the Secret Service's job to investigate a homicide. I thought the way they blew off the First Lady when her husband was lying dead upstairs was so unfeeling and bizarre - can you imagine Jackie Kennedy or Nancy Reagan being treated like that??? All of it makes more sense now. I can't wait to see how this unfolds. Yes! It was driving me bonkers trying to place her and I had to IMDB it!

Omg that is HILARIOUS! Totally off subject, but my favorite Key & Peele is Continental Breakfast. "I love being in continent!" 😂 Add me to the list of frustrated people with this cliff hanger. This is why I prefer to just binge the whole thing when it's over, but I couldn't wait this time so here I am..... I am PRAYING Britney plays strategically and votes Danielle out. But I'm not betting on it. If she doesn't, she deserves to be fed to the faithfuls by Danielle. No way they ride this out together....

That is an interesting theory - it feels like we are supposed to ship Mark S. and Helly, which is kind of messy considering Mark is legally married to Gemma (if that is her). If Gemma is not innocent in this, I guess that makes it easier to root for Mark and Helly. But I do not feel like Ms. Casey was happy to be going down the dark hall and into that elevator that Irv paints. I guess we'll see where this goes.....

Omg my sister sent an Instagram post of Carolyn mocking Danielle and her hat. It was priceless. I cannot fathom that Danielle (and her fugly hat) outlasted Carolyn, Bob and Rob. The over-the-top crying on the floor was ridiculous. And anytime a Traitor goes, you have to look at who they voted for. They almost always vote for another traitor. I don't know why that doesn't get said more often. Gabby was onto it, but is anyone else???? I pray that Britney turns on her, but this woman has nine lives. Everything Carolyn did this episode was wrong. You can't just change personalities at this point. She overplayed her hand at the challenge and the round table. When Danielle said it's traitor-like to attack at the round table I don't know why she didn't say "that's exactly what you are doing, Danielle"..... At this point, I don't care who wins, just anybody except Danielle!

Mark is living in Lumon housing so I would guess he moved there after being hired by Lumon. Maybe Cobel was already living there but who knows? Her whole Selvig personality seems like her own idea. After the OTC debacle (from Lumon's perspective) and her dismissal I am assuming Lumon was unaware of how much she had finagled her way into Mark's family's life. It appears it was ok for her to keep sending him to interact with "Miss Casey" to test the severance, but taking on a new identity and lying about being a lactation nurse to become friends with his sister and her new baby? No.

I like it! I think they are working to clone Kier and bring him back somehow. What Mark and Gemma have to do with it or why they are so important to the project is what I don't understand. And was Gemma actually in a car accident or did they stage that and kidnap her? And even if the latter is true, how did they know Mark would sever himself? I mean, what would have happened if he had just kept teaching? Or is he important not because of who he is but just because he is the best refiner?

I think it's both of those things. We have been shown in multiple scenes with Outie Dylan and confirmed by Gretchen that Outie Dylan struggles to find "normal" employment and is also into expensive hobbies, leaving her to be the adult in the relationship. I think the severance at Lumon was Dylan's last resort. And the fact that his Innie is into her and more assertive than his Outie is what appeals to her. I absolutely think for Dylan and Mark, they see their Innie's as a part of themselves, but not the "true" part - it's an escape from something. We don't have Burt or Irv's full story, and we already know Helena's stance.

However you want to label what Helena did to Mark S., it is a violation of trust and an abuse of power. Mark S. certainly would not have had sex with Helena Eagan. And now she is doubling down by stalking Mark Scout. This woman is an asshole.

I think the fact that she lied to Outie Dylan implies that she is now emotionally cheating on Outie Dylan in this bizarre scenario. This episode should have been called Love Triangles: Innie Mark-Helena-Helly, Fields-Burt-Outie Irving, Gretchen-Outie Dylan-Innie Dylan. All very messy. Kind of bummed Burt is looking like he is still a "scoundrel", but he's definitely giving shady vibes. Love John Noble. This show sure nails horrible dinner parties, doesn't it? Don't know how to take Milchick. I'm still hoping he helps the MDR team in the end.

That's true, but she just doubled down by coming out of left field and sending Seychelle home. I did laugh at Philip's (paraphrased) tirade: "If you think I'll go high I won't - I'm going so low I'm underground. Call Harriet Tubman." I died laughing.

CK's game is all over the place. She should have booted Dickson. She is not going to be protected over the original three "Family" members (how I hate that alliance name!). If she had booted Dickson she could have redeemed herself with the non-fam players, but instead she's still on the outs. She had no choice but to take that zero case. David played a great game, but the whole thing is luck so it's not really anything he did. You have to keep playing until the odds are 50-50 either way and the offer is as big as you can get. All the drama is manufactured. I never thought David would save Will, and he is not as good of a player as he thinks he is if he really thought David would save him over Dickson, but he didn't really have any choice when Lete chose David to play. Overall, a satisfying ending - I am so happy both players eliminated are gone. Seychelle was more pleasant on the after show, but I find her gen z talk with the accent ridiculous. She is not a teenager. Rob said she is a flight attendant - imagine her on your plane serving you your ginger ale! "You gucci? You want some pretzels?" On the after show I enjoyed the OG reality personalities Rob and Will talking about the nuances of what makes a good reality tv competitor. Those two should do a podcast talking about these shows.

Maybe that is why Milkshake was dinged in his review for "using big words".......

Even later, but that tickled me too. I just found this show and I am in love. This episode was so excellent. Ava breaking down in tears when Deb fires her felt so real. I hope season three is great, but it's going to be hard to top this ending. Oh well....on I go!

I think Rob would have been happy to work with the other traitors (at least up to a point), but BTDQ was gunning for him almost immediately, and the two girls were at each other's throats - someone had to be the voice of reason because Danielle and Carolyn were at a stalemate. Ironically, the only thing they agreed on was getting rid of Rob. Danielle is terrible at planning and Carolyn is only going to be able to use this airhead schtick for so long - I'm not sure that is the best strategy either. At some point you have to offer the group something. I did love when they murdered Crishelle how ice cold Carolyn was - like a totally different person. I almost hope they recruit Britney and she turns on both of them. THAT would be hilarious.
