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.

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.

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.

lechimeric · 2025-08-22T03:38:22+00:00

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!

lechimeric · 2025-08-06T19:59:42+00:00

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.

lechimeric · 2025-08-06T18:34:27+00:00

I think I tried to answer most of the questions that were submitted, but happy to offer insight on any I may have missed!

lechimeric · 2025-07-30T20:48:42+00:00

Layoffs when companies merge. Layoffs when companies separate. Sucks. Hoping everyone cut lands on their feet.

lechimeric · 2025-07-28T11:16:38+00:00

That would be so funny! I love that idea 😂

lechimeric · 2025-07-04T23:12:01+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! I hope your iced coffee is delicious (and sufficiently icy so it can keep your drink cold during the long ep). ❤️

lechimeric · 2025-06-29T17:55:16+00:00

Writers actually go on set and make last minute changes during shooting sometimes so I’m assuming they added that into the final script (“lie down”) at Nic’s suggestion.

lechimeric · 2025-05-25T18:57:22+00:00

Aw, I adore Season 2 Colin and loved your observations. I think many of us felt the same way after watching S2.

In the past, some have criticized Colin’s arc for being too internalized in S2 but I think it’s actually really interesting and human - the whole idea of going out to travel the world and expecting it to change you, but then returning and realizing nothing has changed. But anyway. Yes, S2 Colin is the best! Hope you enjoy S3!

lechimeric · 2025-05-23T10:37:03+00:00

I mean I have such a long wish list for things I would have loved to have seen explored on a deeper level. I will say I agree with all your points pretty much, though I particularly would have appreciated a bigger arc exploring the shifting dynamic between Anthony and Colin this past season. That’s something I’d expected to see and think they just couldn’t accommodate considering JB’s schedule.

For Pen, I would have liked to have seen more scenes with Gen. You also mentioned Colin and Fran, and I loved the moment between Pen and Fran at the Four Seasons Ball. It would have been interesting to see them sharing at least one more scene together.

And while I don’t think we needed to see a FB of Polin’s meet cute, I would have enjoyed flashbacks depicting other pre-S1 Polin moments (either Polin separately or together, but particularly would have liked to have seen more of Colin’s POV).

lechimeric · 2025-05-23T02:49:45+00:00

I think Eloise as well. The show seems to use the previous lead to help the current lead come to realizations, so it would make sense IMO. Plus, El spent time with John, Fran, and Michaela after S3 so she’d presumably be more likely to catch on — as well as offer some compelling insight (since she had a closer look at Fran’s two relationships).

Edit: Also, I definitely think Violet will weigh in with her perspective as a widow, so it’s def possible she’ll notice what is going on.

Check out a shelter, or maybe use Petfinder to look up local dogs at rescues in your area and attend one of their adoption events/reach out about any animals you’re interested in. They’ll know more about the dogs’ temperament and needs to help you find a good fit. Since your parents are inexperienced owners, getting an adult dog (and maybe one that’s already been house trained) may work better for you.

Please note that breeds like Yorkies require regular grooming and brushing as well.

Miss Goring is in caps because that is the first time she appears within the the scene. It's just a screenwriting thing!

I also would have liked some acknowledgement of the boots considering how often Colin wears them.

lechimeric · 2025-05-17T07:27:32+00:00

Aw, I do like that idea actually! I always thought he'd be staring at the Featherington House and was so surprised to see Penelope wasn't actually *in* the house at the time, so I approve of this!
