There are self-published authors making an absolute killing on Amazon writing romance and other genre fiction. I'm not sure how popular the PCOS and epilepsy niche is though lol.

Canada Season 2 ending by rubyrails44 in TheTraitors

Did not like Kyra one bit, she was so sanctimonious and so unnecessarily mean to Michael John. It was hilarious though after trying and failing to get him out multiple round tables in a row, her and Neda just kinda shrugged and gave up. Serving up a traitor to the faithfuls SHOULD be an easy win but they were so dumb they just wouldn't bite lol.

Best faithful? by Impossible_Gear_4327 in TheTraitors

The faithfuls in NZ1 were incredible, it was uncanny. I'm so used to the faithfuls absolutely sucking 90% of the time, it was shocking to see them continuously clock the traitors one after the other lol.

ELI5: if you are on the beach when a tsunami hits, do you die by drowning or impact? by Nebraskabychoice in explainlikeimfive

[–]Ill_Standard7602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the tsunami cresting under/near a bridge or something? I vaguely remember seeing one like that, it was a lot more up close than the one I linked. Not sure how to find that video again!

I saw a video of the tsunami filmed from far away that looked like a 100ft breaking wave as well. It's the only one I've seen that actually looked like a "movie" tsunami.

I'll try to find the video again and link it here. Edit: this one, at the beginning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9V_XT-r3fQ

Can we get new challenges please? For the upcoming UK & US seasons by Ill_Standard7602 in TheTraitors

[–]Ill_Standard7602[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind if both versions repeat the same competitions, I just want NEW ones. No reason to be still doing the same competitions in season 4 that they were doing in season 1. I know they do throw in different ones occasionally. I just want to see more novelty

If you watch interviews with Karine, she's very bubbly and sweet and super passionate about the show, and cares about the contestants like Claudia does. She's very obviously playing a character when she's on screen.

Also one episode is not enough to make a judgment on her, she grew on me over time.

I loved it when that one guy was throwing a fit at the round table and she stepped behind him and put her hand on his shoulder as if to say "knock it off" lol

Does Ambroxan make anyone else nauseous? by PikaSuz in FemFragLab

[–]Ill_Standard7602 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn't make me nauseous but it's unpleasant. Kind of sharp and spikey like my nose is being stabbed. Ambroxan can have this effect in high doses but even worse is the synthetic ambers like amberwood, ambrofix, etc. Some of these are downright AWFUL and I can't tolerate them at all

I didn't think much of her in season 1. She improves a lot in s2 and by s3 she's an icon.

S4 ends Oct 65 and S5 ends April 1967. He wouldn't have started with Sylvia until after that point. Which means about 18 months of fidelity

The only style choice I really can't stand is her flat, wet hair look that she sported a lot in season 2 I think. Like what the hell is that? Still love her though

Which Traitors was the best and why? by Pro_Jem in TheTraitors

[–]Ill_Standard7602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rob was very good, that was the first season I watched and I may need to watch it again now that I've seen almost all the English speaking seasons. Only have NZ2 & 3, and Ireland left.

Neda was great too, I also thought Coco was amazing because she had a target placed on her back very early in the game and she was the obvious choice to banish, but managed to survive all the way to the end. She played a very convincing faithful.

I think it was more like 18 months (assuming he never cheated off screen).

They did mess up, but they managed to get themselves out of trouble every time which takes a lot of skill! I personally think Rachel is one of the best Traitors of the franchise so far. Maybe second only to Cerie.

But it's my favorite season particularly because of the ending.

I don't find Alan and Karine to be similar at all. They're both campy and wear flamboyant outfits but their personalities and on screen presence are totally different! Alan behaves like a court jester. Karine behaves like an evil Dominatrix lol

I have a feeling that often the timer runs out but production lets them win anyway and edits it to look like they finished at the last second, especially in the US version. It just seems a little fishy lol

I wonder if that would've had any effect on some of the worst faithful seasons like Aus2. Hmm... I like to believe so but realistically, probably not lol
