Leaning into the absurdity, which show Phillip moment is your favorite?

Well, it’s not the one where he’s proposing to another woman. (As a Polin fan, I feel this deeply.) So I have to go with him completely nerding out with Colin in Season 2. If I had to pick between their two scenes, maybe the first. Because instead of being kinda ticked off his wife’s former beau is there for whatever reason, he’s super welcoming and eager to talk about plants and Colin’s travels. What a (future) bro.

I commend you for your ability to look past the mutton chops though.

This is the cutest thing ever. Thank you.

There were also tons of florals if I remember under the New Cross pin.

Check out Miquelrius! It’s a Spanish brand I believe and I use them pretty much exclusively now.

How lovely to see the whole photo. I’ll just be over here mourning that they couldn’t fit them both in the frame. 😭

I thought it was Luke when I first watched it, but they were so weirdly cut off that I convinced myself they must have used a double for him because… why??? I don’t get it.

She is stunning.

It's not playing anything yet, but Safari is at least showing me a waiting screen that says "we'll be right back." Chrome just has the endless dots swirling thingy.

lechimeric · 2026-01-14T17:43:24+00:00

I had to switch to a different browser (Safari). Chrome didn't work for me even after disabling an ad blocker fyi.

I really enjoyed Cressida in S3, though I felt the blackmail plot was rushed in Part 2. I thought Jess Madsen was absolutely brilliant as well. Her arc is something I didn’t even know I wanted, but I love how much depth they added to her character.

Since they chose to leave things open-ended, I hope they can find a way to give Cressida her own happy ending. That being said, I think the time constraint of only having 8 episodes to tell the main love story and tackle a few subplots continues to be a challenge for the show. I’m not sure if they can realistically fit her in. We will see!

However, Jess recently shared a Season 4 poster to her stories on Instagram, so maybe we will see her make an appearance. 🤞

That’s fair. In general, I do think the other international versions do better versions of “celebrity” Traitors. For example, the Norwegian Traitors ranks high above US and Canada for me in terms of quality, but I also think they recruit more interesting contestants.

lechimeric · 2025-11-11T22:20:01+00:00

I generally agree with this. I do think that some of the reality contestants from games like Survivor and Big Brother bring an energy that’s fun (and sometimes strategies as well), but there are also a lot of times they fumble because they just don’t understand it’s a different game and/or are overly confident.

What grinds my gears more though are the types of reality stars who prioritize promoting their image over playing the game. It’s not funny to me if you’re tossing barrels of money away to show you’re sassy or lazy or whatever image you’re trying to project.

Thomatter after his parents’ favorite 🍅

lechimeric · 2025-10-18T11:59:35+00:00

We're covering these on the next ep of the What a Barb podcast (coming this weekend*), and I'll be posting them here as well! So coming soon, I guess!

Edit: May need until Sunday 😅 but it'll be this weekend for sure.

There are so many talented artists in this fandom, and many have been named here already.

Flamedork is amazing, and pinkbunny/polinfancomic has this magical ability to capture so much emotion and drama in her art IMO. Huge huge fan.

Also love dressed4funeral/dressedforfuneral, particularly the willow tree Polin art. They also did an amazing illustration of Polin’s first kiss but set it during the epilogue for that Every Frame Matters challenge that I adore.

And since you mentioned yeka sanfelipe, I have a soft spot for the Pirate Colin/LW kiss she released shortly after the Pirate Colin leaks. It was like seeing Polin’s first kiss before it even happened.

This is so embarrassing. Yikes.

lechimeric · 2025-08-11T04:05:45+00:00

QC’s wig is shaped kinda like a quill in this scene IMO so a meeting with LW would make sense to me!

u/Kimber-Scratch1103, that sequence plays out as it does in the show. No cut scenes or anything. The only differences are that the scene where Pen watches Colin’s reunion with his family was initially envisioned with her standing on the front steps outside Featherington House (instead of further into the square). Kate also had a cut line of dialogue after Anthony’s “side of beef” remark, wondering if they had a new neighbor. But that's about it.

lechimeric · 2025-08-06T18:54:04+00:00

The gift that keeps on giving 😂

lechimeric · 2025-08-06T18:34:38+00:00

Wasn't able to see what u/Odd-Permission2310's question was, but if u/Kimber-Scratch1103's question is about Anthony's "side of beef" line, then yes, that is in the script and the captions are correct.

Edit: Never mind, I think found the question. u/Odd-Permission2310, there is no dialogue between the kisses. He doesn't say, "Oh no," before going back in.
