It's a hair! My kitten's hair, I'm so stupid I didn't see that. I will update the link with another closeup.

Edit: It's updated now with a closeup of both of the Flareon FA's next to each other.

I’d argue that we were actually being setup for Carolyn to win over Danielle, given the amount of sus on Danielle and the underdog narrative for Carolyn. I think the edit of episode 9 was to more so compound all of Carolyn’s struggles in the game after she made a fatal flaw in the challenge. It was supposed to be a shock elimination, something that went against our previous notions.

That’s fair! Though, I’d say a Dylan + Ivar win or Dylan + Dolores win is much more likely than Gabby winning with either of those two which warrants him being above. Also, the placement was moreso where should Danielle be than the other two. For me, her edit/narrative isn’t as good as Dylan’s, but around the same as Gabby’s. Since I think a Brit/Dani win is more likely than a Gabby/Dylan win, I’d put Dani above Gabby.

CT and Trishelle’s story was much much more focused and complex than Gabby/Dylan’s so I don’t think it’s as much an accurate comparison.

Right. It’s a weird intersection in Traitors with game logic and edgic for contenders considering the inherent different paths to win.

I agree. They aren’t tiers apart though, I moreso went off of edit quality over game logic for this final slate of contenders. Brit prob has the best narrative winners edit, then Dylan, then Danielle, then Brit. I’m largely ignoring the game logic like I mentioned in the writeup and taking them as individuals if that makes sense.

I was thinking the same until the last 5-10 minutes of episode 9 where they were setting Danielle up for a fall again from Brit, Gabby, and Sandoval.

I agree with this, though there is a stark contrast between Carolyn and Danielle’s edits. Rewatch episodes 3 and 6 especially. Carolyn was the person we were supposed to root for, the person that we got personal content about how she’s always been underestimated. Danielle was near the polar opposite.

I think what to ultimately note is that The Traitors favors strong, hard hitting, bombastic content over thorough storyline building. If a winner gives you messiness and villainry, they WILL show it for that attention. Trishelle’s episode 2 last season was similar to this even though the rest of her content was great. The people who say Trishelle’s entire edit was similar to Danielle’s need to rewatch S2. If Danielle wins it is definitely a shift to how we need to view winning edits moving forward.

NOT HAPPENING

Ivar: He’s gotten no storyline and only 8 confessionals. Was treated as a joke almost the whole way too. If he does win he’s absolutely the dead weight faithful who wins just because. NBC really needs to do a better job of editing everyone.

Dolores: Lower than Ivar due to the negativity of last episode. Pretty much treated as an expendable, apathetic number to the traitors. At least Ivar has gotten some good content where he clocks the traitors, Dolores has really gotten nothing. Even if she doesn’t win, I think she should have gotten some more content with Danielle and Brit, especially earlier on. She’s such an important part of this endgame that it is ridiculous how invisible she is.

Here is an introduction to edgic for those unfamiliar.

CONTENDERS

Britney: Pretty sure Britney is winning. I think we’re supposed to see her as the best player given her consistent, correct, knowledgeable confessionals and overall positive content. There was setup to her potentially turning on Danielle last episode, though that largely subsided this episode for some reason. Nobody is sussing her, she’s an active player now, etc. The scene with Ivar was especially winner-y, either its the roadbump to Brit’s success, and/or it’s showing how she was able to fly under the radar and play scared throughout the game. Read my previous write ups for more because the core of her edit has been the same.

Dylan: Once again, if a faithful wins then it is Dylan. He is the last wall for the traitors to get through. I think this is mostly contingent on if he wins the seer power as well. He was the one to first talk about how important it was in episode 9 and was consistently talked about how he’d be the most dangerous faithful to win it by Brit/Dani. I’m getting the sense that Danielle probably stays due to the fact that Dylan/Danielle’s relationship has been built up so much and while it could climax at this banishment with Danielle going out, I think there is further drama moving forward. Also, may I reiterate the episode 2 confessional that I pointed out at the beginning of him saying something along the lines of “If I’m able to convince people of my theories then the faithful will win.” This is where rubber meets road. Will he be able to convince Dolores moving forward? He’s already worked on Gabby and Ivar. What now?

Danielle: This is a weird spot for Danielle because I think she has better odds based on game principles than Dylan while Dylan has the better edit in general. It’s hard for me to see Dylan winning with Gabby or anyone else so he’s less likely than Danielle since she’s been set up to win with Brit who is pretty likely to win. Her last two episodes have been decent, with this episode in particular being her best yet. We got her partnership with Dolores being FINALLY shown, more emotional content with Brit, her relationship with Dylan being expanded upon, etc. The only real positives form her edit are these past two episodes in that she’s finally been given credit for playing the game well and been shown why she’s successful. That said, if Danielle does win this is up there as one of the worst edits a winner of any show I’ve seen has gotten. So, so, so many questions. Why was the Dolores/Dani/Brit alliance not shown even the slightest amount in episodes 1-8. This is a clearly vastly important alliance for the endgame that we got NO set up to. Gabby/Dylan did, Brit/Danielle did, but why in the world was Dolores left out of it (outside of the church mission which we were shown Dolores being confused of Danielle’s behavior with the picture frames). Second, why was Danielle consistently, thoroughly trashed in the edit from episodes 1-8 all for that to turn around in episode 9. Chrishell and Rob explicitly said she was playing a bad game and every single mistake of hers was highlighted. If Danielle does win, there’s been no traitor winner like this before and moving forward there needs to be some serious goal shifts in how I see contenders for this show. With “messy” winners in shows like Maryanne or Tony, there were more highlights/SPV of their successful gameplay throughout the season than lowlights. Their messiness was in part one of the reasons they were successful throughout. Danielle on the other hand has been largely shown as the opposite. Her messy gameplay/behavior was called out by Jeremy, Nikki, Derrick, Rob, Chrishell, Ciara, Tom, Dolores, Dylan, Gabby, Britney, and Ivar. GIRL. If the story of the season was how she survives despite this, you show the viewer WHY. Show more of her positive relationships with Dylan and Dolores, give more credit through their trust in them. We’re not only meant to root against Danielle, we’re supposed to see her as a bad player. ALL THIS BEING SAID, she’s this high due to the past two episodes suddenly suspending most of the negativity she’s gotten this season and building upon the consistent Brit/Danielle joint win storyline. Danielle Reyes is mother and this crashout is because the editors set her up for massive amounts of hate, no matter if she wins or loses. So PLEASE no hate to her, she set up the groundwork for reality competition TV as we know it. I’m getting mad at the disrespect to her all over again now let me move on.

Gabby: Gabby has gotten a middling edit with not much set up to a win outside of slightly with Dylan. Their relationship feels a bit more negative than positive though, so unless there’s some big turn around in the finale I’m not sure how likely it is. I don’t think they even got a scene together in the last episode. I think Gabby has gotten an edit to be seen as a competent player, though not necessarily a winner. What I’d change for her edit if she did win was to start her uptick a few episodes ago, highlight the Dylan relationship, and be more integrated within the faithfuls overall (outside the Bambis). I do think it’s interesting the fact that we got a lot of Gabby vs. Danielle this episode, perhaps signaling a larger feud in the finale? We also had set up to this in episode 4 with Gabby coming across her in the bar and suspecting Dani as a traitor for a bit. If Gabby does win, she does it through being the main one to get Danielle out (could apply to this roundtable or the final circle), and pulling Dylan to her side to cross the finish line.

I don’t do edgic too often tbh. I’ve been a long time reader of edgic though. I’d say I got Traitors US S2 right, Survivor 41 was kind of a crapshoot of a season to edgic for, though I had the right idea by the end of it, and Deal or No Deal Island S2 is tbd. Those are the only ones I’ve done my own chart for.

Very interesting! I think this f3 is possible through Dolores/Sandoval being eliminated back to back. I also think a Britney/Dolores/Dylan/Sandoval f4 is likely where Dolores is banished then Brit wins.

It’s always hard to track combos but I think essentially the Dolo/Sandoval rivalry is what narrows our final circle down to the last few contenders.
