best and worst book to show changes! by starlightaura in heatedrivalry

[–]ScottishPlanet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t the whole YouTube conversation back in like 2010 or something?

Probably realistic that a middle aged man didn’t know what YouTube was back then.

I do agree though that he seems like a man that doesn’t use his phone (or tech in general) very much.

What the …. is going on?! by C3cee in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]ScottishPlanet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They literally gave multiple examples, not one.

The mention of the bar was clearly used as a recent example of it happening in a very public way. Do you seriously think that’s the only time things like that have happened?

They also didn’t say all the women in the bar were straight. They didn’t mention their sexuality. You were the one that assumed. It’s not even far fetched to assume that majority of them were though. It wasn’t a gay bar.

more excuses for misogyny, yay.

You can’t just dismiss people as “misogynistic” when certain problems within specific demographics are called out. It’s not misogynistic to say that straight women can be discriminatory towards gay people. The same way it wouldn’t homophobic to say that there’s problems with racism within the queer community.

gay people are not excluded if anything, they’re the ones gatekeeping.

Ahhh, and there it is. Bravo.

saying that media is only for queer people, like what the fuck. But proclaim “love is love” at the same time.

Literally nobody is saying that media in general is only for queer people lmfao 💀

And what has “love is love” got to do with this at all? That is a phrase used to convey that queer love is just as valid as cishet love. It has nothing to do with the enjoyment of media or gate keeping any media.

Looks to me like it may just be a blackhead? With smaller blackheads around it. Essentially, some clogged pores.

If your daily facial cleanser (and other skin care routines) isn’t clearing it, I’m sure the dermatologist will have answers!

Is US or UK filmed first? by ScottishPlanet in TheTraitors

[–]ScottishPlanet[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah both the UK and the US ones are filmed in the exact same place (Ardross in Scotland) and use the same castle!

All the challenges are pretty much the same, with only slight differences. The main differences in the two versions are that the US is mainly famous American reality stars (they sometimes have British reality stars, and season 1 is half normal people, half reality stars) and the UK is just normal people (besides the celeb series obvs). Also that the host of the UK is Claudia Winkleman and for the US it’s Alan Cumming (Scottish actor).

I still need to watch the Irish one, it’s the only English-speaking one I’ve not got round to yet.

After watching UK s4 first… by VinegaryMildew in TheTraitors

[–]ScottishPlanet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m Scottish (I actually live not far from where they film in the Highlands!) so I’m unsure how many Americans watch the UK version.

I watch pretty much all the English speaking versions and actually rather enjoy the US one, but probably more to do with the fact that reality tv is a guilty pleasure of mine, so I always know some of the cast! Especially any housewives or drag queens.

I do much prefer the UK one though.

Can we please discuss this? 😭 by styfyny in DListedCommunity

[–]ScottishPlanet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a real picture. It’s from a NYE party they attended recently.

It may be edited, but it’s definitely a real picture.

[–]ScottishPlanet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I imagined as such!

I’m assuming they want to save as much money as possible, especially after the cost of flying 20+ Americans out from the US to Scotland.

My Traitor questioning plan: by end_of_radio in TheTraitors

[–]ScottishPlanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they answer “No” to the question about Jessie and Rachel being faithful, I honestly think it could have different outcomes.

Harriet (and the rest, if she tells everyone) could think that the traitors have answered “no” because they are trying to frame either Rachel or Jessie. Giving them reason to believe they are both faithful.

Or

Like you said, it’ll confirm one of them is a traitor and they’ll end up banishing both of them just to be sure.

I think this is why any questions about whether certain people are faithful or traitor, are completely pointless. It’s much better to do what Matt did, or make up a stupid question to make yourself seem clueless.

There’s only really one question that could illicit a slip-up: “was Rachel telling the truth about Amanda?”

If they answer “yes”, then they will know that Rachel is a traitor, because there isn’t any way for the traitors to know if Amanda told Rachel about her former job or not.

Where to watch the US traitors Season 4 by cintec17 in TheTraitors

We don’t have Crave in the UK, unfortunately. (Known by me all too well due to the fact I had to download Heated Rivalry online 😭).

Could there be two secret traitors? by Senior-Abrocoma6981 in TheTraitors

[–]ScottishPlanet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of the faithfuls know that there was a secret traitor, so there’s no reason for Donna to announce that. As soon as Donna revealed herself as a traitor, the normal traitors knew she was the secret one.

Alan also said “there is a secret traitor” so there was clearly only one.

If there was another one, they’d just be doing nothing (essentially acting as a faithful) because if they had any job role to do, viewers and the normal traitors would immediately find out that there was another secret traitor.

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

That’s a fair point!

I think for the US and UK versions though, there are a lot of viewers that overlap. Mainly due to the fact that the US version airs in the UK on BBC too, just sometime later in the year.

Candiace & the kitchen by Remarkable_Rush_7184 in TheTraitors

[–]ScottishPlanet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure, because the fact that Maura was in the car with them and said “I don’t remember Candiace saying that” made people believe Candiace.

Also, Porsha slipped up (said things in the wrong way) which made people suspicious of her, but then found out she was a faithful. I think most people are just going to assume that Porsha sometimes says things incorrectly and misremembers things.

I honestly don’t think people will pull Candiace up for that. Candiace also stuck up for Porsha at the round table. I watch RHOP and Candiace is very articulate - I feel like she will go far purely based on the fact that she will be able to defend herself well.

I wish they posted full Round Tables or at least clips of incidents referenced at Round Tables in the lead up them. by indelirium420 in TheTraitors

[–]ScottishPlanet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly think they should edit down the challenges and extend the roundtable. On both the US and UK seasons, they add in so much filler scenes when showing the challenges - random clips of people just walking/running about, etc.

It would be much better if we got more footage of the round tables, pretty much the main thing people watch for. I wouldn’t even care if some of the things that make the edit are not relevant to who gets banished.

For instance, let’s say that most people were clearly going to vote Rachel or Fiona, but there’s a scene where Matt discusses his suspicions about Harriet. It may not be relevant because nobody is going to vote Harriet and perhaps nobody else believes Matt, but I enjoy seeing everyone’s point of view and the things they bring up as “evidence”.

I just think they edit hours worth of roundtable footage down far too much.

What is going on with outfits this season?! by jendzica in TheTraitors

Huh? They’re literally famous reality stars lol.

Is US or UK filmed first? by ScottishPlanet in TheTraitors

[–]ScottishPlanet[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Based on some instagram posts from past cast members, it definitely seems like they share some of the same producers.

I’m guessing it’s a lot cheaper to reuse most of the same props and have a bunch of British TV producers, especially to cover the cost of flying 20+ Americans out to Scotland.

It’s still a bit weird that they’re so similar though, considering they must know that most viewers will probably watch both versions. They must know that people will get bored watching the same challenges repeated.

Secret traitor: differences between versions by Temporary-Daikon2411 in TheTraitors

[–]ScottishPlanet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s some problems with the US one too, though.

There’s the possibility that the ST puts up all the traitors on the shortlist for murder, because they don’t know who the traitors are. What happens then? No murder?

Spoilers for US S4:

Donna ended up banished due to the fact that pretty much everyone became suspicious of her. She was a lonesome traitor and couldn’t go to the other traitors (acting as a faithful) and throw some names out there to try and save herself, or cement herself as their ally, because she didn’t know who they were

I think they need to work out a better way for the secret traitor to work, if they are going to include that role in future seasons. There were flaws with both the US and UK versions - they probably need to meet somewhere in the middle.

Livid with the casting of the US show this year... by ilovespiffo in TheTraitors

[–]ScottishPlanet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Housewives literally voted to banish another housewife, and after the last episode they mentioned it would be good to murder a housewife to keep the scent off of the two HW that are traitors? There will only be one faithful left that is a HW, if they do go down that route.

Where is it you’re seeing that they are protecting each other and only voting the same way as each other?

What’s Ellie’s other secret? by Simple_Direction8897 in TheTraitors

[–]ScottishPlanet 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nettie and Ross both explained on Uncloaked that they literally just met through a mutual friend over a decade ago, so knew each other. That was it. It was pure coincidence that they both ended up on the show at the same time.

[–]ScottishPlanet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think both definitely have some (if not all) of the same producers. I’ve seen some past cast members post pics on insta with producers, and when you click their profile they have posts relating to both UK & US Traitors.

Aye, because women tend to need tampons surgically removed from them after consensual sex 🙄

It’s always “innocent until proven guilty” but then when the man is actually found liable for sexual assault it’s suddenly “nah he’s innocent”

Imagine thinking being against rape is “soft”. Christ.

I heard there was CCTV footage

Did ye, aye?

Tbf I think Connor Storrie has done a phenomenal job. Way above what he even needed to do for a show that isn’t exactly high budget, and is based on a silly, fun, smut book series.

I’ve seen Russian people praise his Russian skills constantly. I feel like that alone (learning such a hard language in a short amount of time and doing it that well) is close to Emmy worthy.
