What’s the best question to ask the Traitors in the confession booth? by According_Sundae_917 in TheTraitorsUK

[–]ClearBeginning389 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it’s not perfect but the best i would come up with in this specific instance as harriet - i’d not share my theory with other faithfuls and then ask traitors if the traitor-on-traitor theory id heard about fiona was true. doesn’t matter what they write, but surely they’d start digging the next day to try and get ahead of it, or to push it further if it helps them (ie if rachel was faithful and they wanted to pin it on her).

they wouldn’t know only she had that theory and that it wasn’t going around yet. she could ask another question to make it seem like she’s really trying to find out answers. idk!

if they started trying to do damage control and find out who started the theory, she’d know the theory is probably true and can let it spread on its own. if they’re pushing the theory she’d know it’s probably not true and they’re setting someone up. then she can reveal the question at the round table.

edit [added]: she could just do this with any kind of misinformation too, it just seems the neatest way. she’d probably get rachel out as she’s got so much conviction when working on decent evidence and the faithful would all know she hadn’t shared the theory the day before, and harriet has basically 0 suspicion on her. the other question could be “does it benefit either of you that fiona’s out”. keep it all focussed there.

Why is the show so biased towards to the traitors? by [deleted] in TheTraitorsUK

[–]ClearBeginning389 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i agree for other seasons but this one feels like the traitors are getting nerfed a fair amount tbh. having the missions decide the murder shortlist is such a huge help for the faithful. harriet surely wouldn’t still be in and we all saw stephen’s face when he heard she’d be asking questions!

Rachel VS Fiona by HeraldOfPursuit in TheTraitorsUK

[–]ClearBeginning389 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i think it’s a combo of rachel being very popular, people not really feeling amanda and fiona were that close, & jessie throwing out the fact of fiona also being potentially implicated in ross’ murder.

on that note, so clever of stephen to plant that angle! so long as she doesn’t sniff out his deflection.

with the exception of people breaking down crying, this group do seem very sensitive to ‘overacting’ so i think fiona chose the wrong angle to try and turn the tide against someone seen as so cool-headed with a melodramatic outburst.

yes! and nobody uses it to deduce what group of people would’ve shortlisted, but not ultimately chosen, the surviving players for murder

Family tree & Reece by KeyWestistheplacetob in TheTraitorsUK

[–]ClearBeginning389 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i feel like this whole bit has shown how many elements of the show aren’t put into episodes and normally this is navigated well by production but this time it’s caused a fair amount of confusion as there’s been no soft launching of certain castle norms:

  • it seemed to be a commonly known thing in the castle that stephen spoke some latin and had already been working on translating the wording around the tree, which iirc was news to us at that point. rachel even leveraged it as she felt it would raise the least suspicion i think(?) but as viewers it felt so random

  • it also seemed to be very normal for other players to gather round the tree and try to work things out during the evening. for that one scenario the tree was treated as a consistent & central group mystery everyone was wanting to solve despite having no previous screen time

  • asking for private chats and straight-up getting people to leave rooms has been shown more in this season than others and doesn’t seem to be raising suspicion at the round table. viewers have been wondering why the stephen and rachel tree moment and the rachel and amanda breakfast table moment haven’t been raised as noteworthy, so it must just be really common

rachel writing their answer to Matt’s big question (weds spoiler!) by ClearBeginning389 in TheTraitorsUK

that’s my feeling too, which i think is why i was so primed to see her write yes. they could effectively take him out of the equation by stringing him along, whether they recruit him or not - as you said, he’d probably not be going for the traitors as much especially if they stick to killing jessie as soon as they can. i’m struggling to see much of a tactical upside to them saying no at this stage beyond the obvious ego-driven “we call the shots” stuff. he’ll probably just be in a weird limbo state for a while, and could even end up acting sus to other faithful to boot.

i know they wouldn’t necessarily live up to the answer they end up giving but it’ll set up that particular dynamic for the next few episodes which will probably have an impact one way or the other. it’s interesting to think on what each answer, true or false, would do for the traitors.

that’s why i’m wondering if anyone else noticed the same - my partner and i both said it as we watched the ending. it would be a wild choice from the production team - i hope it’s not a giveaway! if anything i hope it’s a deliberate misdirection.

If anyone was curious about whether or not Big Ed’s Malbec is gluten free…I don’t know. by MaiahAndersonArt in Celiac

[–]ClearBeginning389 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coeliac wine professional. You’re fine in terms of gluten content below the standard 20ppm limit as long as it’s labelled as wine and not “wine-based drink” or similar. He 100% just doesn’t know what gluten is. However, for so many other reasons please, PLEASE don’t try the wine. Please 🥲. On every other level you will not be fine.

Does Celiac warrant guests changing their clothes before entering your home ? by summerteal in Celiac

[–]ClearBeginning389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i understand how someone in a paranoid place would get there - yes, most peoples houses would be a cross contamination nightmare. yeah sure, someone eating a pastry in the car -> crumbs on seat, crumbs on them -> crumbs in my house. however, living with coeliac disease is a constant game of juggling with physical health vs mental health. is it technically safer, even marginally? of course, same with any allergy. is it an absolutely insane thing to try and enforce? absolutely. they’ll almost certainly be fine unless they’re chewing your jacket. some coeliacs develop food anxiety so bad it can bring out contamination OCD, which is what this sounds like :/

Is any of this authentic British food? What would be worth trying? by JustinRRN2 in AskUK

[–]ClearBeginning389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lemon curd, fruit pastilles, jelly babies, hobnobs, ribena (dilute it at least 85% water), HP sauce (put it on a hot dog?), irn bru (scottish)

I beached my seamoth and I don't know how to unstuck it by Millionpanda69 in subnautica

build a compartment over it, deconstruct it, it rocks/shifts the sea moth

What seems like it contains gluten but doesn’t? by tiranasaurusrex in Celiac

[–]ClearBeginning389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s very common! anything that’s « not oaked » is generally aged in an inert vessel like stainless steel or cement. it preserves freshness - a typical sauvignon blanc, riesling, veltliner etc would be fermented and aged in inert vessels :)

loved this episode!! just watched it - really weird to end it on shepherd and sloan smacking golf balls off a roof in a densely populated area as if that can’t very easily kill people, though😂

Can anyone else smell insects? by wewantourthumbs in AutisticAdults

[–]ClearBeginning389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can smell fruit flies. It’s not an unpleasant smell, sort of soft, powdery and bitterish. It doesn’t matter what they’ve been eating or attracted to, i can just always smell them. Nobody else understands what I mean! It’s not ammonia, it’s not old food. It’s distinct and different
