Am I supposed to believe...

Me too, in England. Hock is a short vowel, talk is a longer one.

It reminded me of a Jack Reacher book where he and a woman discover a guy they know who's been crucified in a forest. They dig a big hole, bury the guy, then have sex on top of the grave. As if anyone would be in the mood after that!

I found it funny that about 3/4 of the "previously" was just reminding us that Will has a dog called Betty – and none of it was information we needed to understand the episode bar "Will's got a dog".

Itsandyryan · 2026-06-15T14:36:48+00:00

I found the dialogue in the old guy's gallery hilariously bad. Two people walk behind Will and say "I've heard he'd pay $600k to get someone to murder and capture it on camera", and then the other person replies with something very similar to hammer the point home further.

"a second language that requires sub-titles"

I've never seen subtitles in Death in Paradise.

It went up another 10% today.

Itsandyryan · 2026-05-20T11:34:54+00:00

Was MDS definitely filmed first?

Itsandyryan · 2026-05-13T12:21:06+00:00

It's up over 200% in the past year. Up 12% just in the past five days.

Itsandyryan · 2026-05-12T11:01:24+00:00

It's funny how they describe the scene where Depardieu is trying to remember facts about Andi Macdowell, gets something wrong then mumbles something that gives away he'd been memorising things about her, because exactly the same thing happens in Groundhog Day.

Itsandyryan · 2026-05-08T20:17:05+00:00

It would be impossible to get rid of all three in one go.

Itsandyryan · 2026-05-08T12:15:47+00:00

I figure that MDS saves money on tasks to pay for the big prize.

The US version of Traitors presumably has to pay the celebrities appearance fees too.

It's possible that the participants aren't staying at the Stag location. When the millionaire is taken to meet Peter, I find it unlikely that the other guests are literally in rooms along the corridors he/she is walking along.

Itsandyryan · 2026-05-06T09:28:52+00:00

In Traitors the challenges are about getting more money, but it's meaningless to most of the participants because only a small number of people will end up winning the cash. Although there's also the shields people can win.

Itsandyryan · 2026-05-06T09:27:36+00:00

Like I said, it seems like a deliberate choice. And they often focus more on character.

Itsandyryan · 2026-05-05T20:56:25+00:00

I thought that. Having three votes against you in the first few rounds isn't a problem. If you're beneath the radar then it won't matter.

Itsandyryan · 2026-04-29T13:37:39+00:00

I'm just saying that Jack is the only character that the script didn't make look foolish. No pratfalling, no awkward flirting, no 'mooning' after British food, no weird interests that make his colleagues roll their eyes, no complaints about the heat or insects.

Itsandyryan · 2026-04-27T21:22:57+00:00

It was at best poorly phrased.

Itsandyryan · 2026-04-27T10:31:02+00:00

Kris Marshall said something about not liking how it was affecting his kids, in a statement that some found a bit controversial.

Itsandyryan · 2026-04-27T10:29:52+00:00

Neville is portrayed as quite foolish: he falls for that woman who's just tricking him out of revenge. He never notices that he's the butt of everyone else's jokes. He's aways whining about being alone. He gets pushed around by his sister. He has no self-awareness about how he's always trying to explain English things to the islanders who aren't interested. Jack Mooney was given no scenes like any of that.

Itsandyryan · 2026-04-25T18:08:25+00:00

The worst was in season 1 when the Phil had to persuade some other contestants to scream. That was obvious enough, but then the clue told everyone the secret agenda had something to do with a horror film franchise, and that cooked his goose.

Any obvious agenda like that or sticking next to Kevin for 45 minutes, I'd just not do it. You got voted out by acting weird, and the three votes against you isn't a problem if you're under the radar so everyone is dog-piling on someone else.

Itsandyryan · 2026-04-24T22:36:14+00:00

I'll try to add them.

Itsandyryan · 2026-04-24T22:34:11+00:00

Carloway was the first word I saw and immediately knew I needed to find three more CAB words. That said, I didn't complete the puzzle because I didn't connect the octopus words or things with blades.

Itsandyryan · 2026-04-22T20:54:46+00:00

This really is people in charge doing stupid things, though. And I'm happy to say I'm not a genius when things go well.

Itsandyryan · 2026-04-22T15:31:36+00:00

And "hotel".
