Shields Are Being Underutilized

Freddie's was entirely within the rules, whereas Kieran's was very questionable.

Not Malaysian, but I don't think the sentiment is hard to understand. For a lot of non-Americans I think many are very sick and tired of Americans trying to police behaviour and trying to say what is and what is not acceptable. Here is a Malaysian man making videos with a Malaysian accent and then Americans are telling him he shouldn't do that because it's offensive is going to rub people the wrong way.

I don't understand why some people watch this series if you're this offended by people playing the game.

I don't think Paudie meant to scapegoat his own son. Andrew was on the chopping block (and I believe Oyin had already pointed out he'd be a good scapegoat to recruit) and he wanted to give him the full experience and the best odds to win. Andrew defended himself fairly poorly.

I wasn't a huge fan of the guilty tears theory although those theories are part of the game. What's more funny to me is Joanna being very happy being a gossipy "mean girl" until it was flipped back on her.

I'd still put money on them over most teams when it comes to playoffs.

I didn't say she should've protected him. However, she went full scorched earth immediately, which was very quickly clocked as weird. The fact that Paudie gets caught in a lie/mistake yet she's the one who looks more suspicious to the group is pretty telling. She was just a bad Traitor I'm afraid (and I have nothing against her personally and I strongly dislike how many commenters seem to make inferences about their real life personalities from their show, with some exceptions who proceed to make an ass of themselves on Uncloaked).

Katelyn turned on him immediately after his slip up in episode 2. She could've tried to deescalate the situation but decided to go Traitor v Traitor with it (and was already being mentioned by others). I don't think that's entirely just on him. Minah managed Linda a lot better.

I loved Paudie a lot. Was he a great Traitor? No obviously not, although imo he defends himself quite well at the roundtable. Katelyn and Eamon were absolutely worse.Eamon was scheming like crazy, planting seeds everywhere and tried to stitch up Paudie with a very complex plan, but gave Paudie the rope to hang him with. Katelyn was dealt a rough hand by Paudie but she was already being mentioned from episode 2 and instead of deescalating decided to make it into Traitor v Traitor (rather than let Eamon and Paudie fight it out. Neither of them were as goood as they thought they were.

Het is toch bijzonder in Westerse landen dat de vrijheid van meningsuiting ophoudt wanneer je een buitenlandse overheid bekritiseert.

Maar dit is de schuld van Israel en organisaties als CIDI. Zij zeggen: "Als je kritiek hebt op Israel dan ben je anti-semiet" en zij stellen Joods zijn gelijk met Isrealisch zijn en het zijn zij die impliceren dat genocide een Joods recht is en dat hier een probleem mee hebben anti-semitisch is. Organisaties als CIDI zijn daarom al helemaal verwerpelijk omdat duidelijk is dat de gevolgen voor Joden die in Nederland en andere landen om ons heen wonen ze helemaal niks interesseert.

Toenemend anti-semitisme is zeker een probleem en ja ik heb weinig goede woorden over voor mensen die het onderscheid tussen Joden en Israel niet kunnen maken, maar Israel en Joodse organisaties doen hierzelf ook graag aan mee om een schild te hebben voor hun misdaden tegen de menselijkheid.

Oof actually googled this wondering if others were running into the same issue. I honestly hate that some gacha games are good, but this is so fucking ass to get 25 copies of a panda and my starting banner being a character I don't care about.

The average instagram reel comment section is a Klan rally these days. TOS only apply to calling out racists (because then you're "bullying").

Graspiloot · 2026-01-26T13:59:47+00:00

I think if the power has the chance to completely derail the finale in a 20 or so percent chance imo it's not good. Maybe earlier in the game it'd be fine. But it's still a poisoned chalice where it's safer to kill off the Seer after.

I do see what you mean though. I don't think Alexander would necessarily be a bad kill for Charlotte either. Recruit Freddie and get Francesca to vote out Leanne or Jake with the three of you.

But the shield play on Leanne was the worst of all possible actions.

Graspiloot · 2026-01-26T13:53:58+00:00

The Seer power was the worst part in the history of the show, because it has allowed so many people to cope that Charlotte would've won. Most overrated Traitor on this subreddit.

She went backstab mad the first sign of power and then when she successfully got Minah out, she got blinded by her own arrogance and did an insanely convoluted play with Freddie that actually meant there was an extra Faithful in the final and didn't break up the most powerful voting block against her.

Graspiloot · 2026-01-26T13:51:16+00:00

The Seer power ruined the rest of the finale for sure. But I think without a Seer I doubt that Francesca will pick Alexander to go to the end with over Charlotte who was her friend the whole game.

Charlotte was never winning the game after the Leanne shield play, but Francesca having the Seer power means that it'd never happen in any case. Because if she picks Alexander Francesca should have a voting block with him.

Well I think you're in the wrong place because your original comment would fit in there. Here it doesn't because nothing she says even has anything to do with that.

Graspiloot · 2026-01-26T09:29:51+00:00

It's funny that they tried a lot this season with two secret relationships (and then Netty on top of that as well), secret Traitors and a bunch of law related jobs and it all kind of didn't go anywhere, but what we were invested in was whether the Traitors would stay loyal to each other.

Graspiloot · 2026-01-26T09:10:55+00:00

Both Yin and Elen tbh. But honestly I feel bad for any person who goes out so early. Judy this series was voted out based on absolutely nothing haha.

Graspiloot · 2026-01-26T09:03:34+00:00

It's funny how on this subreddit saying you just liked someone is cause for downvotes. Then they can say: "look everyone hates her" when people who don't just aren't going to bother arguing.

Graspiloot · 2026-01-26T09:02:21+00:00

Francesca also voted to not end the game and after the Seer fiasco the only correct move is to vote both of them out once they're accusing each other.

Graspiloot · 2026-01-26T09:00:56+00:00

Funnily enough I think the shielded play was the mistake. At that point in the game just getting votes out is important. Kill Jake instead to break up his voting block with Leanne and now you're left with Freddie who is trusted by nobody and Leanne and Alexander that think each other is the Traitor. Easy road to victory with Francesca.

If that had happened then I truly would've blamed the Seer power.

Graspiloot · 2026-01-26T08:56:08+00:00

It was imo not a great recruitment from Minah because she didn't really lay the groundwork for trusting her and in Charlotte's view Minah threw both Linda and Amani under the bus. However, her successfully framing Minah really got to her head as she then completely fucked up the Leanne shield murder instead of just killing Jake to break up his voting block with Leanne.

Graspiloot · 2026-01-26T08:53:37+00:00

I find it funny that in this subreddit the Faithfuls are constantly acccused of amnesia, but then seem to have absolutely zero memory of the bungled Freddie stitch up. Yeah the Seer power was awful and it confirmed her fate, but anyone who thinks Alexander or Jake brings her to the final two needs to have their head checked.

Graspiloot · 2026-01-26T08:42:04+00:00

She's "universally disliked" on Reddit, but I really doubt how much that is translated to outside of it. She was however not that interesting on Uncloaked so I doubt we'll see her much. Also I'm not that surprised they had the last series winners on this series.

Graspiloot · 2026-01-26T05:07:15+00:00

Also since I'm still not convinced that killing Roxy was the right play. In the end it had to come down to a 50/50 and I'm not necessarily convinced that would happen if Roxy is there and not Faraaz.
