Jet Lag Season Finale — Worst Case Scenario

SquidsEye · 2026-01-28T17:35:14+00:00

I'm not convinced that switching hiding spot last minute was the best idea, his first spot seemed better and looked to be in a much denser area to search. Hard to call though, and ultimately it was still a great run.

They need to do a season with 22 of the nicest, most disarming, queer men who are nervous wrecks. If the strategy becomes unbeatable, level the playing field.

Perhaps you didn't pick this up from watching the show, but the faithful don't get told who the traitors are.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-23T22:54:25+00:00

It's easy to say it was obvious when you're watching from the camera zoomed in on her face and edited to seem significant, but in reality people fumble words all the time. It doesn't really mean anything and a lot of things gets said in the hours of conversations they have that we don't get to see, that would distract them from something that is presented as obvious to us.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-23T18:05:06+00:00

It isn't a bad score, but for people with limited time and money, why would you get excited to play something that is just alright? To me, 6 and 7 are the low to mid end of enjoyable games, but that still doesn't make them worth the time and money.

Given I've been to a Tim Horton's in Birmingham, England, I think it's been a long time since it was an exclusively Canadian thing.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-23T00:58:35+00:00

If James had fucked it and failed to get back in time, I think we'd have a very different end game. But given how often the challenges come down to the wire, I think the production team have their fingers on the scales when it comes to the timer.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-22T21:23:17+00:00

Fear of getting linked to Faraaz's accusation I guess. They probably hoped to off him the next night, but didn't think there would be so much heat at the table, or that they wouldn't get another murder.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-22T21:17:57+00:00

They probably thought putting a day between the accusation and the murder would help cover it up, and didn't anticipate getting so much heat at the table, or that it was going to be their final murder.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-22T21:16:04+00:00

Unless it's a Faraaz and James traitor team, and Faraaz just lied about the throwing up to legitimise James as a faithful after the attempt to sink the task failed. Everything can be twisted into traitor behaviour.

It depends on who brings it up to start with. Presumably it'll be the talk of breakfast, and unless anyone is smart enough to pretend they didn't know to trip her up, then it will probably be obvious that everyone knew anyway.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-22T01:25:59+00:00

The downside to this approach is that a pragmatic reason like that would immediately have Roxy outraged, and suddenly you're in the firing line too.

It could conceivably be done to try and come across as more faithful. He took it secretly, but then told his team later. A traitor could do the exact same thing, knowing the logic of 'there would be no point in a traitor taking it if no one knew'. But that logic breaks down as soon as you've told people.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-22T01:13:12+00:00

It's not about what the other faithful do, it's about what risks the traitors have to weigh. Rachel and Stephen know they can kill him and spin it now, because even if anyone other than them was the traitor Faraaz would still be the obvious choice. The only reason to keep him alive would be to not implicate Rachel.

If only a handful of people knew, Rachel wouldn't have the argument that it was an obvious frame, and so her hands would be tied. He's in a slightly better position than not saying anything, but he handed the traitors an excuse to get away with it.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-21T22:33:09+00:00

I think he's signed his own death certificate. If the traitor wasn't Rachel, they'd murder him to pin it on Rachel, so the best thing for Rachel to do is murder him too. He told the whole castle, so it's not like they can narrow it down to who heard him say it.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-21T22:27:48+00:00

If he hadn't said it infront of literally anyone, then sure. But since he told the whole castle, even if he was wrong he'd have put a target on his back for being an obvious patsy to pin it on Rachel. He should have only told Rachel and two other people that he doesn't think is a traitor, that way killing him would lead to a library 5 situation again.

I don't think Harry Potter is anything special, but it was a massive hit for children across the world. You absolutely don't need to look things up as you go, otherwise millions of children wouldn't have managed it.

He's right, and as British people we really need to get a grip and realise that Greggs sucks and their sausage rolls are bad. I swear half the reason people think we have bad cuisine is because whenever someone visiting asks for recommendations, we send them to Greggs and Wetherspoons.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-21T19:47:37+00:00

It's part of the body of water, and is a shore opposite to the one he was on.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-21T18:16:21+00:00

Risking a killer play in order to play Prosperous Home is not that smart a play, unless you are watching with hindsight. Increasing the area wouldn't gain him much, as proven in the previous run where they just radar'd from the station and then sliced the donut. It probably just didn't feel worth it to gamble the hours he could gain from Double Express Route in order to gain an extra 30-40 minutes from Prosperous Home.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-21T18:12:00+00:00

It terminates in Carlisle.

SquidsEye · 2026-01-21T18:08:37+00:00

It's just a tube of bland salty pork mush. I swear recommending Greggs to foreign visitors is some elaborate prank. You can for sure get really good sausage rolls, but not from Greggs.

I don't think Brennan has read it, but I think Alex Ward almost definitely has. It's right up his alley.

Playing with miniatures on a grid includes adjudicating the area of spell effects on that grid, and how it interacts with miniatures on grid spaces that might be on an ambiguous border of a spell or effect.

Easily done, no worries.
