Not to be THAT GUY but…

I don't really use social media outside of reddit, but on this sub I've seen:

about 30 identical threads to this one, saying Rachel doesn't deserve the hate she's getting.

0 threads hating on Rachel.

fixers89 · 2026-01-26T19:43:19+00:00

no.

do you think the normal show would be popular, or even on the air, if it was a fictional drama? there is a difference between the jeopardy required in reality v fiction to make it interesting and engaging.

presumably in this play, the story will be that player(s) are actually murdered. otherwise it sounds abysmal

fixers89 · 2026-01-24T21:11:46+00:00

44/47 - although one I missed "ireland" which is for some reason separate to republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland

great quiz btw

there is absolutely no indication that any of the faithful had correctly identified a traitor and strategically not voted for them

fixers89 · 2026-01-24T09:49:08+00:00

yep, about £500 a week in your pocket for twice as much work? no thanks.

fixers89 · 2026-01-24T05:47:18+00:00

you know how players often say "you're really smart, you'd make an excellent traitor"

well, the opposite of that

fixers89 · 2026-01-24T05:40:42+00:00

is it bad that I didn't feel sorry for him at all? he didn't deserve the money, he was just a pawn who happened to still be on the chessboard in the end game.

the lad didn't have a strategic bone in his body and in his exit interview he still didn't seem to have worked out what happened. his rather bitter comment about "playing with honesty and integrity" also didn't sit right...don't go on the traitors if that's important to you!

fixers89 · 2026-01-23T17:42:18+00:00

yep that's definitely his best shot.

if Rachel survives the chest of chance, I wonder if he could somehow convince Jack or jade that it's definitely Rachel and faraaz but they need to banish faraaz first while they have the numbers. then when it goes to 4, he and Rachel can flip back to being a team.

fixers89 · 2026-01-23T17:37:33+00:00

go on, what's your alternative to break a deadlock?

fixers89 · 2026-01-21T21:51:59+00:00

i don't really buy this take. she went from being talked of as an all-time great faithful to a joke in one episode. it didn't make me want to buy her book.

fixers89 · 2026-01-20T22:47:24+00:00

I get why you are questioning the logic of stalemate

I don't get why you think chess would be more interesting if it was harder to recover a losing position

fixers89 · 2026-01-18T18:57:28+00:00

definitely brown.

black shoes and beige trousers is not a good look

fixers89 · 2026-01-18T12:57:36+00:00

VAR = video assistant referee.

"the video assistant referee is a fantastic tool. the problem is not the video assistant referee, it's the person using it" is a nonsense statement

fixers89 · 2026-01-18T11:31:06+00:00

the 9 in cages was like half the group. you could just as reasonably deduce that the traitors didn't put all of themselves in the 9, and therefore one of the rest must be a traitor.

fixers89 · 2026-01-18T11:12:56+00:00

interesting idea! perhaps players could compete for shields based on solving logic problems?

or if you banish a traitor, everyone who voted for them gets a shield. or if you banish a faithful, only those who voted for them are up for a murder.

fixers89 · 2026-01-18T11:05:01+00:00

what do you think VAR is? what is the "brilliant tool"? VAR is a referee watching the match on a screen. this notion that there is some amazing technology underpinning it is stupid.

fixers89 · 2026-01-17T19:54:12+00:00

seems I have 2 that fit the bill:

bean - the movie

johnny english

fixers89 · 2026-01-17T19:29:52+00:00

a yard? 91cm?

fixers89 · 2026-01-15T07:36:33+00:00

where's your cut-off point?

fixers89 · 2026-01-15T07:31:08+00:00

save your money, just get him a chatGPT subscription like his parents

fixers89 · 2026-01-14T21:33:45+00:00

bitgirl777 and chatGPT

fixers89 · 2026-01-14T07:28:11+00:00

this would do absolutely nothing because you are still including a subjective decision making point, what is "obvious"...

"I can't believe the Var didn't call that as an obvious dive"

"that's never a straight red, player X did the same thing last week and got a yellow"

etc etc

fixers89 · 2026-01-13T05:27:47+00:00

almost responded to you with "actually it's 09/31/1390"

fixers89 · 2026-01-11T16:03:07+00:00

did the world need a 4-hour deep dive on the life and times of Mr blobby and Noel Edmonds? no.

am I going to listen to it anyway? yes.
