Boston Rob needs to sit back and let Danielle and Carolyn implode.   Then he can help lead the charge to get rid of a traitor, hopefully Danielle.  

And Wes is such an idiot. Between his boasts about being the most successful reality show competitor there and threatening anyone who voted for him, he got himself out because they were at the point of just wanting him gone, regardless of his Traitor status.

Rob was me in that turret. Mouth open, jaw dropped, just looking back and forth between Carolyn and Danielle. If there was ever a time to sit back and shut up, that was it.

I'm also hoping he helps get rid of Danielle. 👀

So it looks like I wasn't the only one that watched the Australian version; it's possible Boston Rob did too. The traitors were busy taking each other out; I'd never seen that in the US or UK versions before. It made for a more interesting game, at least in my opinion. It's a shame that the Australian version was canceled after that show.

I was really surprised they murdered Bob Harper, he seemed like someone who gets a free ride to the end.

There are people who never get mentioned - why not go for one of those?  Sandoval, Effron, Sam, Ivar up until this episode, a bunch of the women who I can't even tell apart.  They've all drunk the Boston Rob koolaid though.

Tom eating like a feral dog was my favorite scene.

Agreed -- that cracked me up!  Just standing up wolfing down food from his plate on the table and all by himself.  I don't know him (have certainly heard about the scandal) but what a character.

It kind of boggles me that Sam is on this show -- what a non-entity he is here.

I have never cackled at a reality show as much as I did tonight -- especially while watching that roundtable. And that turret cabal defined messy. PS: Tom Sandoval is a Moron with a capital M but damn if he's not entertaining.

The WTF look on Rob’s face while Carolyn and Danielle were going after each other in the turret had me ROLLING. 
 

I just love this show.

Good lord, these people are dumb. I can't with any of them. 

I feel like they have to murder someone who voted for Wes but unfortunately for Rob (fortunately for the viewers) it will mean one less ass-licker on his side. My vote is for Dylan. Even at breakfast, the way he had his arm draped across the back of Rob's chair. 🤮

Carolyn and Danielle are both fucking nuts. Again, I can't with these people. 🙄

I did laugh loudly when Derrick or Wes or whomever it was shut down Tom's "theory" about Dolores right from the jump at the Roundtable. They didn't even pretend to care to entertain his cokehead rambling.

This has got to be the messiest group of Traitors yet.  There are way too many "gamers" in the turret this season.  Danielle is strategizing so much that she is over-strategizing.  Boston Rob hasn't learned the last season's lesson from Dan Gheesling that as traitor, you can't openly target people who are on to you (unlike in Big Brother and Survivor).  But I guess there are enough dum dum faithfuls who believe Boston Rob that he might skirt by.

If this season ends up like season 2 of Traitors Australia, I will be sorely disappointed (although that season did have the one of the best endings out of almost all the Traitors seasons).

Wes is such a tool. He practically voted himself off by threatening everyone. 

Not to mention, he's nowhere near the winningest winner of all time. He's not even in the top 3 for Real World/Road Rules Challengers, let alone the big dollar winners from Survivor/Big Brother. 

Man, is Sandoval dumber than a box of rocks. Does he have a severe head cold? I don't remember him being such a mouth breather.

Shallow rant: Dolores' giant eye sockets and jutting cheek bones remind me of Cruella de Vil; she's genuinely painful to look at.

On the flip side, Ciara might be one of the prettiest people I have ever seen and I may have a wee girl crush on her.

I still maintain that Boston Rob isn't that great a manipulator, but, like with Derrick is his season, these people are all too stupid to live. For fuck's sake Wes, Rob was basically toast and then you go and THREATEN THOSE WHO CALLED YOU OUT?? Even though I suspect he was being tongue-in-cheek, he has to know these people are morons who wouldn't understand sarcasm if it bit them in the ass so that was a truly fatal move on his part.

Since Rob is on borrowed time it might be better for him to take out Derrick or someone else who voted for him. If Danielle votes for Carolyn at the next round table and Carolyn manages to get a lot of votes for Danielle, it could buy Rob another week. Someone could strongly suspect him but stay on his side another round in the hopes of getting recruited. Then they could vote with the group to get him out the following week. Or the show could have a week with no banishment to buy another week of Rob on our screens.

Oh crap. So at least 1 more week of Dylan’s everlasting love and devotion? 🙄

I hope they go for Britney because 1. Every time someone says her name, I assume they’re talking about Sam’s ex and 2. She’s annoying. Why was she going so hard at Derrick after the roundtable with “Wes this”, “Wes that”? He just told you he was a Faithful, admit you messed up, and move on.

I respect Carolyn for not being two-faced and just telling Danielle they're not allies anymore. It might not be good for her game, but I like that she's not afraid for things to feel uncomfortable.

Rob can cover his face and be aghast if he wants to, but maybe the lesson is not, "My teammates are terrible," so much as "I should have gotten the lay of the land more, before I made a big move."

Normally I think players should focus on voting for people they actually think are Traitors but, this early in the game, I fully support voting someone off just because they're making the show feel unpleasant. You don't have to deal with that every day for the rest of the game.

In the last Traitors Canada season, there was literally one person who voted for someone and said, "I don't want you to be on the show," which was hilariously honest. And I feel like that is the sentiment here.

I feel like they had the same reaction to Carolyn, and I wonder about what that will mean for Carolyn's game. Because, she's not in a position where she can do a Boston Rob and come to the table and convince everybody to vote with her, but she is in a position where she sort of looks more Faithful, because, when people listen to her, they're not saying, "Here's a Traitor trying to shank another Traitor," they're saying, "Here's Carolyn going off about some person who hurt her feelings -- let's focus on something else."

I agree with this. I think, on Survivor, your motivation for doing whatever you're doing is assumed -- it's because you want to stay in the game as long as possible. But on The Traitors, your motivation is the whole thing that people are supposed to be questioning.

Almost against my will, I'm kind of interested to see how Rob plays this. But I don't think there's any way he can retaliate against Danielle for voting for him right now.

I have never understood the people who lose a game show and then get up and say, "What you don't realize is that I should have won this game show, because I'm superior to you." WTF.

Especially when the person you're feeling superior to is still in the game, and you're not. Wes should have spent less time aggressively spouting off on ego-fueled rants and more time figuring out why people seem willing to keep Rob in the game, despite either strongly suspecting he's a traitor and/or knowing he's a threat.

Season 2 of the Australian version in my absolute fave of the seasons I've watched. Just hilarity from start to amazing finish.

And that's why they're there. The people who have some semblance of a brain (and it isn't much lol) are playing scared of fucking Rob. Everyone (except maybe Derrick) is embarrassing themselves so much.

Oh, I'm sure if Production feels the tide is turning against him then suddenly there will be a 'no banishment' twist. GAH!

This was the best episode of the season so far though.

Exactly what I was thinking up thread.  Rob can argue he would be an idiot to murder Derrick.  He was framed!

Except Derrick gave this exact argument to that Effron guy after the round table.  I know that guy loves Boston Rob but hopefully he wants to win in the end too?

If Boston Rob really wants to throw the scent off himself, he should murder someone who's obviously faithful or someone super random.

Unfortunately, he has to get Danielle and Carolyn to agree.

I think Rob is in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” scenario when it comes to Derrick. As a traitor, Rob doesn’t want someone around that will constantly target him and Rob doesn’t want to give Derrick more time to whip votes against him so murdering Derrick makes sense. Also, murdering Derrick puts more of a target on his back.

Lastly, I thought about the traitors murdering Dylan.

Didn't Dylan vote for Rob this last roundtable?  Plus, he has a shield & Rob was in his group so he's know that. Carolyn grabbed the shield from the group she was in with Danielle.

Chrishell also has a shield but didn't announce it & there were no traitors in that group so Dolores, Derrick, Britney & Sam may have a bit of protection from being murdered if no one squeals.

That leaves only Sandoval, Gabby, Ivar, Ciara available for murder unless the Traitors take a chance on it being blocked by a shield. 

I wish they'd murder (not Tara Lipinski) Gabby, I keep thinking she & Britney are the same person.

No, he voted Wes. He's up Rob's ass so he isn't gonna vote for him. I suspect he'll go right to Rob about what Derrick said. Although, I could potentially see Rob murdering him so Dylan might not get the chance to squeal to Daddy.

He could murder Dylan anyway. Obviously, Dylan would survive, but it would be a good cover story. Rob knows that Dylan has the shield so it could take the scent off Rob that there wasn't a traitor in their group. It could further alienate Danielle and Carolyn though. When everyone shows up at breakfast, they can guess that someone with a shield was "murdered." A traitor wasn't banished at the roundtable so they know there was no recruitment.

You're right, Dylan teetered on voting for Rob until Britney empathically shook her head, telling him no, mouthing across the table to vote for Wes.

I think Dylan knows Rob's a Traitor but it smart enough to know that staying loyal keeps him safe. He thought they had the numbers until Britney said no.  Gabby's the one who didn't vote with the group.

Rob’s face in the turret: like he was watching the world’s most horrific tennis match. Funniest sequence in a hilariously messy season.

I think Rob could murder Derrick and get away with it if there was someone plausible to pin it on. They bought the “I was framed!” argument once, so I think he could sell the “See! That really proves I’m being framed!” sequel. But who would he pin it on? Nobody left seems enough of a mastermind to do it. Unless… if he could cast enough suspicion on Danielle, he could score a double victory by getting rid of her and validating the framing story at the same time.

I don’t know why it never occurred to Carolyn to ask anyone WHEN Danielle mentioned her name. Or even just consider that it maybe wasn’t five minutes ago. She’s become as unhinged with her need for revenge as Danielle. (And I love it.)

He was so vile on House of Villains.   He was a finalist and it turned out the person to break the tie was the person he had been the worst to.  Jesse made Wes go down on his knees to beg for his vote. When he did, Jesse laughed in his face and gave the win to the other person.

It was wonderful.

He was just on Worst Cooks in America on Food Network.  Honestly, he wasn't annoying at all.  The worst I could say is when he kept referring to himself as a "ginger" and doing this for all the gingers, etc.  But he was a good cooking student and not aggressive.  In his talking heads, he said that he has a new baby daughter and wants to be able to cook for her and his wife.  He produced pretty  strong results for being a "worst cook".

Did he win? He brags about being the winningest contestant, and Worst Cooks filmed before Traitors.

He finished first runner-up on his team.  His teammate won the whole thing.  He actually was a pretty good cook.  There were several in the cast who were very loud and boisterous so comparatively, Wes came off quiet and serious about learning!

He won the Challenge 3 times. He competed 20 times on various Challenge and adjacent shows.  He may have won more times (3), but his percentage is worse than Rob’s who is 1 for 6.   And he isn’t #1 in Challenge wins.  Johnny Bananas won 7 times.  Both CT (who co won last season Traitors) and Jordan won more times and $ too.
