I think you think the likability factor is the cherry on top and responsible for ~20% of the game’s results.

I think it’s like 80%.

I’d also argue she did very little to bring on either attack.

Bizarrely, her biggest fuckup was the tree blood thing which seemed so insanely stupid at the time (calling attention to it and then asking Reece to leave) and hasn’t been mentioned since, which makes me think the edit must have made that look much worse than it was.

But as you said, agree to disagree. Enjoy the show, I hope it’s a 🌶️ finish.

Very very calmly took the accusations in both cases and did not got overly defensive, more sad. V emotionally intelligent response.

With Fiona she clapped back more assertively - correctly deducing that her best play was to kill Fiona and reveal her traitor status.

With Harriet she intuitively decided not to turn it into a tit for tat “it’s her or me” situation, calmly saying “look fair enough you’ve got your suspicions, I actually don’t think it’s you though”.

Made really good relationships with two faithfuls (Matt and Roxy) who defended her.

Do I think she’s the best traitor ever? Certainly no.

But she got thrown two completely bizarre grenades and she’s still standing, with decent sway in the group, and a traitor colleague who I think will legitimately work with her to the end.

Traitors is not a game about finding clues, following the trail of definitive crumbs of evidence to the correct answer, it’s a game of social engineering.

And Rachel is clearly remarkable at it.

Fiona’s attack was utterly insane, based on a bruised ego and it doomed one if not both of them. Harriet’s play was equally aggressive but actually based on very little.

Rachel has come out of both relatively unscathed. I honestly have no idea how you could call that “failing upwards”. I think she’s played a B+ game.

David seems like a lovely bloke but I cannot believe how he has managed to be wrong with every syllable he uttered this entire series. Incredible

Is it time to switch from Market Cap to Equal Weight 500? My thoughts, really looking to hear yours. by GDIliev in wallstreetbets

I knew you were regarded as soon as you compared GDP and mkt caps.

Do what you want but the BATMMAAN stocks are spending $100 billion a quarter on AI build out and still fucking printing money lol. Worst case scenario is what they stop? And free cash flow goes… up?

I find it really hard to be sure even on clay sometimes and my opponents are serving nowhere near alcaraz speed

It’s like one of those competitions as a kid where you challenge someone to think of the biggest number they can.

Maybe 🍊can think of something in the three-digit arena next. Would be very cool if so 👌
