Very uncomfortable episode. This is speculation on my part, not a spoiler, and was not sure if I could put it here.

If I recall, the Traitors put the episodes out in bunches, so you could just start the next episode and see the result, and watch the rest of the episode later. Like I said before, I feel these type of cliff hangers work if you are binging, but not so much if you have to wait a week.

I'm still watching, too, but am not in a hurry to see the episode when it first comes out. I cannot disagree with anything said so far - the cliffhangers have to go! They need to do the challenges, not just to add the money to the pot, but so that there is something else to add to their decision-making regarding a poor (or great!) performance. Making it all about personalities is boring. A trend I have been seeing in these "build the pot"-type programs is that the contestants do not seem all that motivated to add money. There are too many influencers who can get money in other ways after the shows.

I am enjoying this, too! Agree with the above comments - why hasn't Xavier been targeted yet? I,too, do no like the trend in the competitive reality shows to leave us hanging. I guess it works if you are binging the series, but I do not feel the build up when I have to wait a week to find out the Anonymous and the departing contestant. I would like to start each show with the aftermath of the vote out.

People Magazine Article explaining the main characters and their mythological origin.

Thanks for sharing some background on the mythology. I guess I have a very shallow memory of all the stories. I keep going back and forth on Riddy and Orpheus' relationship. The coin action surprised me, and I did not initially think about it being love on his part to not give it to her. I am trying to figure out if there is a person that Riddy is trying to get back for (herself??), or what the very strong motivation there is. Orpheus' love for her does seem like it could be smothering.

Okay, just watched the first episode. I am not sure if I like it or not, but I will probably watch more episodes. I do not watch Succession or any of the family dynasty type shows, so I am not sure if this is a parody of those shows, or a unique concept. It is not too hard to follow the characters, but some of the names are a little harder to remember. Zeus is a clown and Hera is cruel! Edited to add: I had not heard of this show beforehand, nor did I read the Media thread before posting. Guess I should do that first next time!

Just finished the season. Sigh. It did not live up to season one, and made me miss Victor Fresco's Better Off Ted even more. I would have liked more Ruby and Luna lab banter instead of the rift between them that lasted too long. Phil and Lemm (Better Off Ted) did the lab buddy friendship so well. Leslie got tiring by the end and the Georgia character is so unlikeable that I was offended that "they" were trying to make her redeemable. Jackson deserves so much better. The real estate episode was better than the other last few, but when the credits rolled on this episode my watching mates and I were all pretty disappointed. Oh well, season 3 anyone?

I really enjoy this show, but Georgia, the intern, is so difficult to watch. When they were switching back and forth between the secret meeting and the younger employees at the bar, Fred Armisen's character (forgot his name!) and Georgia, the intern, were both so cringey. It seems like the same character traits in two different age brackets. Yikes!

I was not onto the mole. I am disappointed to hear that Sean was figured out by the final six. I was down to Sean and Michael by the end, but I did not get there until the last episode. I was familiar with Muna's gameplay from a previous show, so I really did not suspect her at all. I agree with LakeGal's assessment, actually everyone's comments! The current showrunner or producer needs to go back and watch the original Mole seasons. I do not care about their personal stories. I do not care for wannabe influencers that just want screen time. I liked having clues for the viewers and using the last episode to share all of them. I like when the host plays along with them - Anderson Cooper was still the best host in my opinion.

I have watched the German and French versions and am part way through the US one. I like that there seems to be a different strategy required, other than the approaches for Survivor, Big Brother, Amazing Race, etc. The determination of the winner has varied between the two I have watched. I think I liked how they did it in the French version better. Some of the people are unbearable, but then it would not be a competitive reality show! I recognized Nam (not unbearable) from the Challenge on the German version. Is anyone watching these shows? What do you think? I did not want to spoil anything...

Topics: Surviving Paradise (US) In this reality competition, players must form alliances and fight to move from an outdoor camp into a luxurious villa for a shot at a $100,000 cash prize. Fight for Paradise (Germany) From the villa to the jungle, contestants must keep their friends close and their enemies closer. Who will win entry to paradise and 100,000 euros? Don't Hate the Player (France) Starting from nothing, 13 players compete for a spot in a luxury villa and a shot at 150,000 euros in this unpredictable game of strategy and survival. All three competitive reality shows are currently on Netflix.

I don't think I would have gone for the movie. Q seems to be there for the game and money, where so many of the others do not seem to care about the money in the pot. I have a strong feeling on the mole. I hope I am not right as I really like when I am fooled until the very end.

Hannah and Muna really rub me the wrong way, so they will probably be there the whole time!

I watched this with my son this evening and we are not in agreement about which part of the mission had the Mole. I think the slingshot helpers were suspicious and he thinks the people controlling the disc that Andy shot from were sabotaging. We recognized Muna from Sequester and were not at all surprised she took the correction. As Mole fans who have seen every episode of every Mole season, looking forward to the rest of the episodes!
