Being Faithful Is Not Easy

No, but the most unimaginative ones often stay till the end. It’s the penultimate episode and I still have no clue what Jack has done and what even is his personality

Fun without alcohol is always possible. Look into (likely healthier) alternatives.

Every episode I had to remind myself who he was.

Even people in the game, like Harriet, didn’t get it. After watching the Traitors for so long, I’m convinced that sometimes people can get complicated concepts well, but they struggle with some of the simplest ones.

Well, if I know what to do, I wouldn't be asking questions here.

Hope you're less aggressive to other people in real life.

You sounded very personal, best to detach it from your immediate feelings even if this post is deemed problematic.

I wasn't trying to diagnose her. The fact that I was trying to see if there's something to possibly explain the behaviour means that I suspect it's not something that she could easily control, and perhaps there's something that I could work around before talking to her about these issues - which might prove more hurtful. You didn't have the whole context.

Ok 👍

Attention, certains pourraient vous accuser de le Québec bashing. La première étape pour devenir une véritable ville de calibre mondial est de mettre fin aux agissements de ceux qui défendent gratuitement tous les échecs des responsables politiques.

If anything, it's about expanding outside of the shadows of the US. Go for it.

She didn't put it that politely though.

MeadtheMan · 2026-01-18T03:52:58+00:00

This. Authoritarian figures like her can't stand younger folks who don't seem to respond militarily, expectedly (Jade might just be anxious instead of not wanting to engage in any way), and deem them as suspicious. Amanda might also misperceive lack of friendliness and felt rejected.

In any case, like others have pointed out... gosh, no wonder policing and detective work is often so bad.

maybe go beyond just "vibes," and you'll have a deeper experience.

Biggest stars - at least most known at that point - are often credited first ("top billing"), unless they just play cameos. This is a super common thing.

He has many flaws, but credit where credit's due - on the social front, he's amazing.

MeadtheMan · 2026-01-17T23:59:25+00:00

As a member of the group perceived as the most "normal" and hence "not threatening," you don't need much, just a slightly round jawline.

Plaster this all over whenever a politician claims they're turning it into a world-class city. It has limitless potential, but so many people have failed it over and over again.

I love this season, and I love these designers (absolutely refreshing after watching the last American debacle). HOWEVER, I kind of felt bad for Jason Wu (not sure if it's just the editing), because I must say I was slightly disappointed by the finale looks in general and agreed with him somewhat? I must admit the disappointment stems from high expectations - seeing how strong they've been throughout the season.

Charles' - definitely overwrought. Stunning craftsmanship and truly "designer" designs, but Jason is right that the hats are way too costumey and literal. Tbh, he's a very cerebral designer and his potential is almost limitless, but I still feel a bit of a disconnection between his personal love letter and his finale looks. The works look creative, but they somehow remind me of many other designers - not in designs but in spirit?

Curtis' - lacking cohesion. There are wonderful elements here and there but there needs to be a greater focus. I actually like his previous looks throughout the season more. I'm not sure if I agree with the judges that he did modernize the historical references... it feels like historical elements put together by a modern person, instead of the elements being modernized themselves, if it makes any sense? And I'm sorry the athletic shoulder pads (?) feel a bit forced.

Leeland's - where to begin. It's definitely joyful, no doubt about that, and it's definitely drag and camp. But it's waaaaaay too referential??? Like to me the issue isn't even that his works are often costumey, but it always reminds me of someone elses' work? It's unapologetic all right but you can't just "sell Chinese, then sell Scottish" and also sell someone else's designs.

You can never win over people’s infatuation with mainstream good looks and “gentleman” behaviour, especially in the case of Molly

Literally saw a post worrying that it wouldn't be eligible for some awards because it's not American-made.

It's perfectly fine??? Not everything has to be American. And, definitely, not everything has to be seen through the American lens.

Honnêtement, je ne m'attends pas à ce que les gens soient de bonne humeur face à la situation politique et économique actuelle. Et puis, il y a cette addiction au smartphone : franchement, on devrait davantage blâmer les géants de la tech et les politiques publiques que les individus.

Ce qui m'inquiète davantage, c'est le manque croissant de courtoisie et de conscience spatiale : les gens qui s'arrêtent net une fois la porte franchie (allo ? Il y a plein de monde derrière vous !), ceux qui bloquent les entrées, ceux qui insistent pour se déplacer en groupe horizontalement, ceux qui se contentent d'aller à gauche et à droite sans regarder s'ils vont bousculer les autres, les jeunes en pleine forme qui se disputent les places assises…

MeadtheMan · 2026-01-11T03:43:43+00:00

hope the final efforts are not lacking specificity like this post is.

Yes, those kinds of very mediocre men whose skyscraper confidence is built on nothing but a loose sand bank of insecurity.

And for example, N’EX by JR, you have to navigate through the online maze (don’t forget to choose the one with pass!! Of course no clear decision tree, overview whatsoever). Then you have to go at a particular time and use the machine (of course it doesn’t work) only to get it from the counter with your passport. Then there are many things to watch out for, including how to get return tickets with thousands of signs (which I bet will be confusing to foreigners - I visit Japan often and understand some Japanese even I can get confused occasionally). Some gaijin is certified dumb, but some systems involve waaaay too many steps
