Yes. Murder. Murder. This is a very, very scary episode for me because, you know, fucking Dan. Dan really put a stink on Phaedra,

and it sucks because he helped put a stink on, well, he didn't put a stink on Parvati, but he just sort of unnecessarily spread the stink around the entire Traitor's team in the attempt to save himself,, he didn't put a stink on Parvati, but he just sort of unnecessarily spread the stink around the entire Traitors team in the attempt to save himself, which he didn't even do. And I'm mad at him for it. Yeah, it's a pretty selfish move, but it is a Traitors move.

It is a Traitors move. There is no honor among Traitors. So, yeah, it was a pretty shit thing he did, but you know, slimy. That's how you do thing he did. But, you know, slimy. That's how you do it. And Big Brother, you know, Big Brother's not the nicest game. He came from a very slimy, dirty, underhanded game.

Shame on him for being a winner of that game. He came out of retirement after 10 years to play this game. This one is called Knives at Dawn. Last night's sacrifice. Ah, seven were protected from murder. So we saw the fire ceremony where Allison, the producer of Big Brother, came in and magically saved people that she wanted to save, even though their ass was about to go home, namely Peter.

Okay, so I'm still pissed off about it. Don't really like it. But that fucker's still here. I'm really mad. Talking with his teeth. I'm also just mad because the round table is just inherently more interesting than a fire ceremony.

I mean, it was fun to see the fire ceremony. It was interesting to see who everyone was going to choose. It was funny to watch Trishel just, like, beg and cry for her life, you know? And of course, by the way trichelle as we will see in two seconds is totally fine but it's totally like her to shed all these tears to save her because she's the most in danger when she's not in danger at all so alan says um uh who did parvati and fedra choose to murder was it bergie kate mj or trichella well ct and charie Well, CT and Sheree are the first to come in for breakfast.

And he's like, yeah, I knew I was safe this morning. It's nice, but at the same time, I'm a little nervous. I was like, are you? Because you never change your emotions. Which is kind of hot, isn't it? Yeah, I feel like I would like to see what the manifestation of his nerves are, because if it involves tighter genes, I would be all into it. I feel like we've gotten away a little bit from CT's haunches, but they really are a major supporting player on this show. I think you're the first person I've ever heard call them haunches, and you do it a lot.

You really lean into that, calling them haunches. feel like it's like a thing you say about horses it is that i specifically use it with ct because it feels like his legs are not just like tree trunks or just like not they're not just like thick with two c's they're like to me they're like haunches they are haunches haunches yeah they're some it's got a big old honking couple of legs yeah but he's like i'm feeling a lot of anxiety okay so um he's like all right so sheree if you can murder anybody right now who out there who do you think got murdered who do you think got murdered okay you don't have to murder anybody i'm just saying if i had a gun to your head which is kind of murderous you know she was probably so confused why are we talking about murder uh because we're on a show

where we murder people i want to kill anybody who doesn't have base points you got base points you got base points she's like i i thought we were uh the i thought we're just like waiting for our car to be serviced no you're on, you're on a show right now, Sheree. Right. Like, I'm waiting for that guy who spins the sign. It's not a Jiffy Lube. What about that puffy guy with the tires? No, Michelin Man's not eligible to be murdered. So he's like, we got to get a trade out.

I like when they say obvious things. I hope we get a trade out today so uh he's like in this game you can trust no oh so phaedra's like in this game you can trust no one some of these people they're bloodhounds yeah i'll tell you what though we got we got to get a trader now especially now that we're running out of time poverty i mean obviously i mean she's already been on everyone's radar everywhere and sandra's like exactly exactly and then sandra's like you know me and poverty have history and like it's not great history but if i get the vibe that she's a traitor then i'm gonna grab all the faithfuls

and i'm gonna show them bill billiard balls again and try to explain how that works i love that phadra is the one being like oh everyone, everyone here, they're bloodhounds. Phaedra, you're the murderer. We're calling everybody else a traitor. You're literally a traitor. So Phaedra's like, yeah, that Peter's so divisive. I mean, if you're Sherlock Holmes, be a nice Sherlock Holmes.

Don't be Sherlock the dick. So John enters and everyone loves John now. It's so funny because I feel like they were so suspicious of him in the beginning and then just quietly they've just grown to like just love him and feel like he's super faithful and so they're like who do you think got murdered and john's like well i fear trishel i think she's bright i think she's savvy and she was very, very, very frightened last night. Also, John, the first person to ever say those words.

I think she's bright. I think she's savvy. Well, she already won something. She can put that on her LinkedIn. So Peter's like, yesterday, I kind of saw the writing on the wall. And it said, honey, come home. Mommy misses you. And I was like, well, I'm the writing on the wall and it said honey come home mommy misses you and i was like well i'm separating on my walls but then i saw other writing and thank god john

saved me now it's bittersweet because i know i'm safe but two people that i have complete trust in are not safe i'm just a good little boy i fly planes so now ct thinks it's bergie and then uh sandra's like she's like well kate you know kate maybe it's kate you know or mj i feel like they're saying trishel and bergie a lot to the point where i feel like it's misdirection and so i became actually very nervous that mj was gonna be murdered because they weren't yeah because i feel like mj kind of came out of nowhere, right? Yeah. And so Kevin's saying, the person I really want to see walk through that door is poverty.

But who is it? Who is it? It is Kate and MJ. Kate's like, what's up? Hi, stupids. I'm back. Hi, dummies. I actually wish you had murdered me.

Oh, well. Do you have a scone? I guess it's another day I'm not dead yet that's great yeah kevin was hoping that poverty was going to come through so that way his suspicion that she's a traitor is confirmed which i mean he's right she is a she is a traitor but it actually doesn't would not confirm anything that she if she came back it just says that she's alive well it's kevin logic i know he chose me not so okay it's like well i thought i was gonna get murdered but i guess they want to keep me because they trust me they should not trust me i would throw any one of them in the

moat for five dollars i literally do not care i would do it for a sweater. So now Peter's like, oh my god, it's Tresheller Bergie. Oh no. And unfortunately, there's no way that poverty is not coming to breakfast. And Phaedra's saying it's getting harder and harder to protect. She likes poverty, but she can't protect her very much more. So of course, poverty enters. And everyone's like, boo. And then Phaedra has to pretend to be upset

that basically Bergie is dead. Yeah, and so Parvati is so mad that she's squinting. Hello, it's okay. That's a squinter, man. Like, does that girl have trouble reading? Is she reading? What is her, it's like the lights. She's like, I really wanted to kill Peter tonight.

I'm so annoyed that we can't do that. Bergie's the next best thing in my opinion it's gonna take out some of peter's support so we just had to do it i wore on my hanging i wore my hanging headband hung that fucker it's a sad headband it was crying tears coming down the headband so now bergie gets his his murder his murder notice and he's like yeah i think i really played the best game I could ever play. I mean, coming in, I was really nervous because no one even knows who I am. I don't even know who I am. Why am I even here? Why am I on this game show?

I don't know. But it was fun. Bye, everyone. I got to show I'm someone who can't be manipulated. You were manipulated by Peter. You literally did what Peter told you to the entire time. And then you got killed because of it, too, way so bye learned nothing okay so then john's like let's raise our cup to our dear departed friend the queen mother this is a sad and solemn moment mainly

because i just verbalized that trishella's smart and I can't ever take that back. It's on the record now. We must pay our respects to my former intelligence. And then Phaedra starts betraying herself again by complimenting food and drink. I mean, she really does it every single time. So he's like, someone has died. And Phaedra's like, mmm, this coffee is delicious.

I know. So Trishel's beret gives her a nasty look. And Peter's like, well, it's not going to help us losing him. And Kevin's like, we lose voting power. We lose mission. We're going to lose a mission now. And Peter's like, we're going to be so far behind. And Parvati's like, holy moly.

She does a really bad job of also seeming concerned. Yeah. And Peter's mad. And everyone's getting themselves all worked up. And then Phaedra goes, I'd like some cream cheese and preserves and then trishelle's like it's her i know it and finally someone has noticed you know the woman's tell is her food i can't i've never seen that before i've seen a lot of tells you know i love playing poker i've never seen somebody just start obsessing over food as their tell. Well, Trishel, you know what rhymes with tell? Trishel. So she says, you know, a lot of these guys are looking for the safest bet, which would be poverty, I guess. However, I've always felt

like Phaedra is a traitor ever since two days ago, and no one's suspecting it. Phaedra doesn't really talk a lot of game. She doesn't throw out people's names. And I'm a poker player and a beret icon. And she has like a little twitch in one of her eyes. And that's kind of a tell at a poker table. I just need to convince the other guys. I'm like, yes, Phaedra does have a twitch. But like you said, I think the bigger tell is the food tell. I love that Trishel is so proud of herself

when there's a much larger, more powerful tell just sitting right in front of her. Well, also Phaedra's twitch has nothing to do with lying. She's wearing 90 pounds of hair on five parts of her body, okay? First of all, her eyelashes come out as far as a baby arm, okay? They're like store awnings. They're gigantic. And then she puts her bangs right over, like they fall into the eyelashes.

So it's like a little car wash there. She's got hair. Those are load-bearing bangs. Or eyelashes. She's got like hair hanging down in between the lashes. And then they blink up and down. So it's like having five different areas of hair coming at her eyes. Of course her eyes are going to twitch.

Leave the woman alone. Don't come after a woman for her eyelashes and her hair i mean trichelle trichelle phaedra is literally talking to you i feel like anyone who talks to trichelle is gonna develop a twitch anyone who talks to trichelle is gonna recoil with an eye i know between trichelle and kevin like you've got a twitch now. Yeah. Like the Twitch streaming service was based off of those two. They're like, you know what? I just talked to Trishel and I got this great idea.

Let's start a streaming service for video games. We'll just call it Twitch. So Alan comes in and he's like, good morning, my ever decreasing circle of friends. Let's let bygones be bygones. Bygones. Just like breaks a picture of Bergie on the ground. Loser.

Was Alan Cumming in the movie Circle of Friends? He was. I just realized this right now. That line was a referential line. My ever-decreasing circle of friends look at that alan coming clever clever reference to a movie he was in 30 years ago okay so uh i'm gonna say was that a big classic that people remember it was not it was not it was just that like the other night some of us were talking about um alan coming we're just you know we're like waxing philosophically

we're pretending we're like on um pbs talking about this show and we're talking about um alan coming we're just you know we're like waxing philosophically we're pretending we're like on um pbs talking about this show and we're talking about alan coming how this is really his like most it feels like this is his his oh my god i am losing my mind this is his most impactful pop cultural role and we're talking about yeah he was in this movie and he was in that movie and someone said yeah and he was in circle of friends so that was very top of mind right now and i was like was he in circle of friends so then when you read that line i was like oh it was a reference to a movie he was in so anyway wow yeah i was really excited i'm really glad i stopped the podcast for this that was a good biography for that for that reference yeah that movie that was uh mini driver was in that film. Oh, yes.

That was like her big star-making turn. Circle of Friends. It's also what Ramona calls her chauffeur. My Mini Driver. You know what? Go around that circle if you're not my friend. Okay? You're my driver.

You're my Mini Driver. I can't believe my chauffeur got a movie role. It says Mini Drivers in this movie circle of friends whoa you know what maybe you should get a broomstick or something so you can hit hit the gas okay because i need to get somewhere fast circle of small friends baby driver okay what is that the sequel baby driver well i just found out my chauffeur also was very good at riding wills and also very good at hunting i can't believe it many many drivers good will hunting you know what one time many driver didn't show up so i had to drive myself and i was getting out of the car now that and the guy said oh my god it's a driver. You don't look a day over babyhood. How did you touch

the gas pedal? Whoa! Guess what? I look younger than mini driver now, okay? So then, let's see. So now, he starts giving hints that they're going to have to

play today's mission. You'll be taking a little trip to my well, let's just call it my holiday home. A film I might have done with Cameron Diaz. Had anybody paid attention in casting, it would have been great in that

film. What was that movie with Cameron Diaz where she changed? I think it's The Last Holiday or something. Here's one thing I have to say about my cabin is that you might find some golden jewelries that you have an eye on golden eye which i was also in you know more alan cumming films than me i don't know i think that's it that's it that's i've got the good wife that's it and i remember he was in cabaret on broadway yeah i'm gonna say cabaret bienvenue murder well i also am like a current with my out i'm currently murder maybe this time there'll be murder. Come to the murder, my friend.

Yeah, I'm only more current on his IMDb because our friend Sue seems to be very current with his IMDb and she basically went through his IMDb in front of me and I just now have taken it on and now I'm acting like I know the IMDb, but she basically went through his IMDb in front of me, and I just now have taken it on, and now I'm acting like I know the IMDb, but it's because of Sue. Thanks, Sue. Well, I'd like to welcome you to My Cabin in the Woods, which is a film I was not in,

because apparently I'm a gay who they don't believe can adopt a child and be forced to possibly sacrifice her in the woods. So thanks a lot. Non-casting me, assholes. What I'm trying to say is welcome to Jurassic Park. Not an... I auditioned for that.

I met Laura Dern once on a retreat that somehow still didn't get in that. Let's all go wild at heart together. Damn it. Another film I wasn't cast in. On your way to the cabin in the woods, be sure

not to step on any rambling roses. Just another Laura Dern film that I used as an acting class. So he's like, good luck escaping and sure it's like wait what does he mean it's taking escape and escape to the woods what could escape mean escape escape the band is it the best it's getting here do you know it's candy do you guys know escape i know escape skip we're gonna escape we're in a concert okay it's like i think it's the cabin

We're at a concert. It's like, I think it's the cabin. Yeah, I think it's the cabin. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crapin's commercial. Academy is a new scripted podcast that follows Ava Richards, played by HBO's Industries' Myhala Harold, a brilliant scholarship student who has to quickly adapt to her newfound eat-or-be-eaten world.

Ava's ambitions take hold and her small-town values break in hopes of becoming the first scholarship student to make The List, Bishop Gray's all-coveted academic top 10, curated by the headmaster himself. But after realizing she has no chance at The List on her own, she reluctantly accepts an invitation to a secret underground society that pulls the strings on campus life and academic success. If she bends to their will, she'll have everything she's ever dreamed of. But at what cost? Academy takes you into the world of a cutthroat private school

we go let's meet in the armory so trishel says the traitors are targeting our little group and this is a new game new mindset new berets and i think that poverty and phaedra could be the traitors however number wise phaedra has way more people that would never vote for her so it makes more sense to get rid of phaedra now and i'm like fuck trichelle for like figuring this out i hate this she's totally right and i'm so mad at her for it yeah i kind of am too but you know she's thrown so many darts i don't even want to give her the credit for being right because she just keeps throwing darts at the wrong people you know and she's also the most impassioned about black women too like notice that she suddenly gets like really like between this and peppermint this is when she gets really on her high horse yeah i did notice but she didn't do anything overt so i was like

okay i guess i'll leave her alone on this one but of course you're like of course it's hard to with trichelle to not be like of course this is the one that you're gonna go off on I would love it by the way I would love it if Trishel became the new word for Karen because there's like plenty of lovely Karens out there that we all know and love there'd be like Karen's a perfectly nice name got a letter from a Karen who was like listen I love you guys but my name is Karen and this is very offensive and I'm sick of that name being used for, you know, what it is. And then, and I get it. Okay. Because for a long time, the only Ronnie's I ever heard of were like the PR the Republican president and, um, a bunch of rapists on law and order. I mean, that's where I would

hear that name or it's like a murderer or something. They love using the name Ronnie on law and order as a murder or on Special Victims Unit as a rapist. That's the only time I would ever hear that name, like for years and years. And so I get it. I mean, I would hate for my name to be Karen and then hear it used in that way. And I get it, but you know what?

You're calling the wrong customer service. That customer service is not us. That's a term that's already out there. We didn't start that term, okay? I didn't invent that. What do you want from me? Be mad at the first Karen. But we can make trichelle the new karen because there's no one else named trichelle because i guarantee there's been no one in the past ever since real world las

vegas i guarantee there's been no one who said i want to name my child trichelle i think there's only one trichelle enough that you can say trichelle and everyone knows who trichelle is so i think trichelle this way we don't have to make other people who are totally innocent by karen bystanders we don't have they can they can like have their lives back and we can now just call them all trichelles i don't know do we really have the flex to make that happen no but i'm putting it out there we can change pop culture like that but you know who does trichelle so you know what here's rooting for you trichelle just keep it up okay just keep it up so trichelle's like well i have a million she tells peter and peter's like oh my god why would you think that and she's like well i have a million reasons she's super smart she's super savvy and she's never worried which is kind of funny because

didn't isn't that how the english guy john was describing her? Super smart. Super smart. That's true. Poor smart people who come onto this show. They have no hope. Because everyone with a brain, people are going to be like, they're smart. Get them. Because it's just like real life, eh? I mean, look at the freaking bumps in the locker.

The bumps in the lockers that have made a dent. Those aren't the heads of stupid people. Those are heads of very smart people that have been shoved into that locker. Thank you. I just complimented myself as being a smart head. Yeah. Smart head with many lockers. Well, the thing is this, to Trishel's credit,

John did just describe her as bright, et cetera, but Trishel, to her credit, is a massive murder warrior. She's always concerned. And last episode, she literally lost her credit, is a massive murder warrior. She's always concerned. And last episode, she literally lost her mind, you know, begging, begging for that fire. Yeah. Okay. So she thinks that Phaedra is the traitor

because Dan called her out. And the only reason Dan called her out was to look like the hero by feeding up a real traitor, right? Yeah. And so Peter's like, well, I guess we can just get rid of Parvati and then we'll suck up to Phaedra after, you know, and just hope she doesn't murder us. And then this is sort of funny.

This is funny for me as a viewer of the show because I'm so mad that Trishel, of all people, the Trishel of the show, see, I didn't say the Karen of the show, but that Trishel, of all people, she's actually kind of right. She's right. Her theory is correct. Her suspicions are correct. Her evidence is correct. And I hate that because I love Phaedra. I want to protect her at all costs. But then I get mad at Peter because Trishel is totally correct. But Peter, being like the dick that he is, just completely dismisses her. And then all of a sudden I'm now pivoting into, but wait a second, this is because Trishel's a woman, you know?

And so I'm like, I can't believe now I'm suddenly in a split second feeling a shred of empathy for Trishel because she was just summarily dismissed when she actually had the best case of all. But I still don't like Trishel. But I'm just saying, I was on an emotional journey. Well, Peter just cannot admit how terrible he is at this game because he is so excited that he pulled a smart move by not telling people that he won or who won the security blanket, whatever the thing is.

What is it? The shield when he won the shield like that was a very smart move, but he's so proud of himself. He can't admit how dumb he is with that move where he asked P phaedra and parvati to work with him he cannot admit it and he knows he just asked to work with the traitor basically yeah i'm dumb he's dumb dumb so uh dummy dumb face so kevin goes to the armory and um trish shell and he and him and he talk and so he's like okay uh what are you thinking i think it's pretty obvious it's parvati and she's like um it's phaedra her eye twitches and dan was trying to sell him save himself by putting another traitor on and like look at her eye it twitches it twitches also she's got hair growing out of it it's creepy kevin's like yes yes totally whenever

you get it whenever kevin's like yes you should just walk back your theory because he's an idiot and anything that he's not sniffs out you know you're on the wrong path although actually technically she's on the right path so she's like yeah we need to get her out before poverty because poverty is a wounded bird she's by herself and Peter's like no tonight if poverty gets to, she's not banished. She has no reason not to get rid of one of us. So he's worried that Parvati's going to get rid of him. So he's really only considering himself right now and not thinking the greater good of the game, which is to get out all the traitors. Right.

And she's like, okay, but then just tell her that we all think it's Phaedra and see if she turns on Phaedra, which is actually a good plan. Drusilla's really in the pocket right now to be honest yeah it's actually very smart and Peter's like but we already know it's her she goes oh my god think ahead Peter and he goes I am thinking ahead okay and let me tell you I'm on a

very warm lap drinking milk from something very large and warm she's like not your mother Peter okay not two weeks into the future like three moves into the future i miss you too honey so peter's like but why would poverty be so willing to work with us trishelle's like oh my god do i have to i am trishelle i should not have to spell this out for you. Okay. She'll do anything to save her ass. If we, if we give her a lifeline,

of course she'll work with us. And then Kevin goes, Hmm, I think you're onto something. Well, thanks Kevin. Thanks for your endorsement. Okay.

So she, Parvati is like, okay, talk to Parvati after this. Cause she's going to vote to save herself. So Peter says he's going to try, but he tells us, he's like,

you know, Trishel did make some valid points and I'm willing to like suss it out, but not really sure about this hooker. Yeah. So now Peter takes Parvati to the side and he's like, he's like, I don't know how in the world I'm going to do this, but I've got to go become Parvati's best friend and actually have her believe me and i think i'm her biggest enemy at this point but i have my work cut out for me that's we're gonna do this we're gonna convince poverty to turn on vedra i'm like it's not gonna be hard i feel like she already she already did turn on vedra three weeks ago oh yeah okay so let's see here next up um peter takes parvati aside to talk to her so he's like oh my god how am i gonna do this like i'm her biggest enemy and you know my work i have

my work cut out for me but i have to convince her so he's like okay you want to know when i felt like our relationship took a turn and she's like oh when he told me to keep your secret I didn't know if I could trust you so I trusted the wrong person from day one I just felt so targeted from Larson and Dan came up to me and said I'll be your number one I'll protect you and that's how I operate in these games I just need to I just need to find a man a man to protect me. A man to let me know everything's gonna be okay." And he's like, I can be that man.

She's like, can you? This was the weirdest conversation. And they were looking into each other's eyes like, oh my God, I'm so glad we finally had this talk together. She's like, oh my God, thank God I found someone so strong to take care of me, Peter. It's like, oh oh my god she's playing this guy like a fiddle and he's totally falling for it totally and she's like i do not trust peter at all but i do believe i can i can convince peter that i'm a faithful and then that will be amazing because people believe what he says and i will work with public number public

enemy number one and if it takes some of the suspicion off me fine she's so smart because this is a total bachelor move you know it's like you can't you have to keep me because they were just mean to me and all i really needed was a man to tell me it was gonna be okay i mean she's pulling this whole bullshit that comes from the bachelor and it totally works on it and you would think that he's smarter but he was not very good at The Bachelor either. I think I've mentioned that before. Yes. So, of course, he ends up being like, wow, now Parvati's in love with me. He's like, I'm totally taking her to hometowns.

Meanwhile, she's dating the guy from Gentleman Jack. I mean, she's dating the chick from Gentleman Jack, which is hilarious. Really? Yes. Parvati. Wow. That's so fucking hot, by way oh my god i'm not even a lesbian obviously but even i'm like what a hot fucking couple those two are but anyway he totally falls for it uh so nice work

on her part yeah and by the way mj is snooping. So she's sitting there on the side. This week she's in this pink satin outfit. So it's a nice upgrade from the jeans thing she was wearing last week. So she's listening in. It's a really good outfit for being an eavesdropper. Because she does blatant eavesdropping. She literally puts her hand up to her ear. And she's not even next to the door.

She just has the hand up. It was very you know eavesdropping on camera style and so then she goes back to the other room and she's like um peter and poverty are having a conversation right now and it just like doesn't add up and kate's like yeah well this is poverty begging peter for her life which is like really sad to beg for peter for anything actually it's just sort of sad to talk to any of you people i'm just like bored can i get out of here i hate you all i hope you all die i would trade her all of you in two seconds just because you're fucking boring okay kate has a great theory here she goes yeah well she's making the rounds and i will say she's like very persuasive and she she's also a yoga teacher. You know, I took a big room yoga class once, the ones that are hot, which is awful and hideous. And the yoga teacher voice just like, you know, they're just convincing you to stay in hell. I was like, that is a very

compelling argument. And that should have been launched right from the beginning. Well, you know, that's always mine. Like super new agey people who are trying to get you to bend around and stretch and shit. Fuck you. You and i'm not trusting you i know what you're out i know what you're trying to do to me i know i actually have a yoga class tonight for the first time in like six months and i'm very scared uh because those yoga teachers are really evil they're really really evil they do make they always are so perky with like okay guys well we're just gonna do a little bit of light work here so um just like bend your leg behind your neck and hold this pose for about five minutes and it'll be great guys i'm like why you know what maybe i'm looking this up because i don't want to be uh

saying the wrong thing i don't know where i read gentlemanman Jack. I thought I read that, but now I looked it up, and this is from Diva Magazine, who I trust any magazine. Now, I will not trust anybody having anything to do with yoga, but I will trust anybody having anything to do with the word diva. That automatically wins a gay's trust right there. This is from Diva Magazine, and it says, The comedian and survivor star have brought some queer joy to the start of 2024. Comedian and actor Mae Martin have made sure to leave 2023 with a bang by hard-launching their new girlfriend Parvati Shallow on Instagram.

So there you go. There, yeah. Good. Yeah. Good. Good for her. Good for Parv. Yeah.

So it's non-binary. It's not lesbian. So excuse me it's not lesbian so excuse me do not do that on purpose everybody thank you for realizing it's still it's still good to know parvati you go girl it's my point okay so in another room uh sheree and phedra are sitting with john and sheree is like i wonder when the escape concert's gonna begin and uh then she asked asks Phaedra, like, you know, who are Phaedra's choices for who might be a, besides Parvati, who might be a traitor? And Phaedra's like, I don't know. I mean, you just don't want to boldly accuse somebody.

But Peter acts so crazy. Like, you don't want to think so. But then, oh, which is good good because that's how pedro she does more than dan because she does put a name out there she doesn't do a hard accusation but she does just enough to be like i will participate in this i will do it she's like i don't want to put anybody's name on the block so you but you can if you want to put this name up there you just want to put up there and so then we cut back to peter and he's totally fallen for it he's like maybe i was wrong about you after

all she's like i i just i know there's no chance that you would ever talk to me again because you made up your mind after that but i'm just you know i've become a complete porcupine you know how girls do when they feel like they're not loved we just become so mean to poor men who don't deserve it. Peter, I'm so sorry if I've been prickly to you. It's only because I love you. I've become porcupine. I just rely on the comfort of strangers. And Peter's like, oh, believe me, I've been feeling your porcupine quills.

And I've been coming right back at you, too. So truce. Oh, truce. It's a man having truce with me. Absolutely, sir. Yeah, and he's like, well, maybe you aren't a traitor then. But I think Phaedra, like legit, Phaedra was the one I thought was with you. But why not eliminate Phaedra?

We could get rid of Phaedra. Let's work together a little bit now. Like, if we get Phaedra, then that's a way to get people off of your back. Like, if we get Phaedra, then that's a way to get people off of your back. Well, I mean, I would do whatever it takes at this point, especially if a gentleman comes and saves me. And he's like, okay, then give me a hug. She's like, oh, really? Even though we're not married yet? Will you think less of me?

So they hug, and she's like, I adore Phaedra. I don't want to turn on her, but I just need to stay in the game. And if that means getting Phaedra out, then so be it. This is my shoot you in the head band. This is my shoot you in the head head band. So now they all have to drive off to the cabin, and Kate's like, well, I'm expecting this mission is going to be awful because they all are. And it's also raining. She's like, why did I come back to this stupid show?

So then Treshelle, she's like going on this rant. She's talking to Parvati while Sandra and John are listening. And she goes, Parvati, I know your name is thrown around a lot for banishment, but I'm not convinced that you're a traitor. And neither is Peter. And Parvati's like, well, is thrown around a lot for banishment, but I'm not convinced that you're a traitor, and neither is Peter. And Parvati's like, well, thank you, because I'm not. And I have way more reasons for Phaedra to be a traitor than you. I talk to Kevin, I talk to Peter, and whenever I'm with Phaedra in the morning, she is never nervous. And she doesn't even wear a beret.

I was going through my notes last night, and I have a shitload on her. But I'm nervous because if we don't get her out on this banishment, she she's gonna go all the way to the end and take all the faithful's money so dun dun dun she's gonna be coming for banishment so now um they get to this creepy cabin and dr will's there man that guy ages well i didn't think he was gonna age well because he's just so pasty and i just thought he was he's so pasty and black eyed i thought he was gonna end up kind of like a little albino bat just kind of hanging out and I guess that's what they're going for with this um is just for him to look super creepy which he does but it's so hot well he has he has really not aged at all but that's also because pasty was always his brand like that he's a dermatologist right so his whole thing was always that he stays

out of the sun and he always like he's always buffed and shiny and uh like the only way you know he's gotten older is that he's he's les hergo salt and pepper which i think looks great on him by the way but it's funny because he's like hello i'm dr will and there was like a meme on going around that was just like all the women from Bravo just like huh who like everyone on CBS is like oh my god Dr. Will and everyone from Bravo's like um sorry who are you yeah that's the trouble with mixing all of the different channels together you know because I don't I don't have the reverence I should for a lot of the survivor people just because I haven't watched that in so many years. I'm like, Icon! Mother!

Yeah. But Will I do, obviously. Like, Will I got. So he explains the game. So basically, this is an escape room, and they all have to be locked into this house, and they have to collect shields and keys, and they have to guide each other through

the house someone has to stay in one room and guide everybody with clues and then some people have to go into these tunnels and crawl around where there's lots of creepy shit yeah and basically if you don't want to do it anymore your safe word as you go you yell haggis that to me is my favorite part of this because by and large this was just like a fear factory thing with people crawling around and bugs dropping on them but every time they would like charay so charay loses her mind after like the first time bugs fall on her she's just like haggis haggis haggis and phaedra's like haggis haggis all the bravo people basically call say haggis and get out of there commercials here comes one right now

it's like um i hate you i would not stay here even if bugs were dropping on me i was gonna call haggis anyway bye so she leaves and uh yeah i'll leave your time starts ha MJ, Faith, and Sharae, I'll leave. Your time starts, I guess, now. But they were also the ones that were standing in the clue room. Like, they had to give the clues, which was hilarious. And so Kate's giving, she had to hold, like, two switches at the same time. When you hold one switch, the other one goes off, and it controls the lights in the tunnel. So she had to, like, vacillate between that. And she's just standing there bored.

And so one good positive thing about that is she's staring at the ceiling like, I hate my life. Get me out of here. But as she's staring at the ceiling, she sees there's a trap door. So she's like, oh, hell no. I'm not standing here. I'm not doing this part. I'm not doing this part. Because if there's a trap door, something's going to fall out of that trap door.

You know, it's Pavlov's trap door. So she's like, fuck this. So she gets out of there and bugs fall on everybody else it's it was i would say this challenge went on for a very long time like i felt like this was not the best challenge i thought the cabin challenge last year was funnier but it was funny to me watching the bravo women just be like haggis haggis haggis haggis so there's a lot of like people crawling through mud trying to find the stuff finding finding the shields just going on and on and the people who do find the shield uh again they're gonna keep it secret who gets the shield again i don't even remember who

got the shield was it was it trishel again ct i think ct gives it to ct gives it to trishel well yeah he gives it to trishel yeah as a peace Yeah, he gives it to Trishel as a peace offering. It's like, oh my god, thank you. Maybe we are best friends. Just like I thought this whole time. Yeah, so... And Peter, of course, is like, do not tell anybody who got the shield.

Yeah, so they come out and CT is like last because he has to help Kevin out. And then CT pretends they're like, oh, did you get that last gold? And he's like, no. And then he goes, hold on. I think there's like a snake in my pants.

And he pulls out the gold and they all scream. And he's like, I mean, there was a snake in my pants. But there was also a gold brick. And the thing about all the Bravo people leaving the challenge was they literally just left Kevin there alone to do everything himself. And it wasn't a one-man job. So he had to go through the whole title thing alone, which was hilarious. I loved it. Good for him.

Because Kevin, I can't stand Kevin. I think actually of all the people on the show, the one I actually really dislike the most is Kevin. Because he's just like an asshole. He's like an asshole and he's really dumb. At least Rochelle is figuring things out. Rochelle's strangely on top of things. So I have to give her some respect for that. But Kevin just has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

And how he eats. You know, there are some things I just don't forgive with people. Like Southern Charm, Olivia had a big hero season this season, but I've watched her eat and I will never be able to be an Olivia fan. That's it. I can't do it's imprinted austin olivia shep that whole cast they eat disgustingly and that's it they're dead to me so um the cast has won 15 grand but because four people left they lose four grand yeah and um mj is like sorry i, of course, she did not. She was out in 30 seconds. She's like, guys, I can't do this. So Alan also says that, you know, someone won a shield.

He's like, is there anyone who would like to share that they got the shield? No. A deafening silence. Okay. You face mud, bugs, and rolins. Please get yourselves a brush down before you come to the round table. The only snakes and rats in there should be you lot. Toodles!

I felt bad for the actual rats that were in the show because they put some hairless rats in the show. I know. And I'm glad that nobody stomped them or like kicked them out of the way or anything because that could be animal cruelty and rats are actually really nice. I feel like some, I think Sandra was actually nice to the rat she goes hi mr rat at some point

that was cute she actually pet the rat and actually snakes and rats i think that's also another survivor reference reference i think there's like a lot of references happening you know like weaved into the show we don't even notice until we go back oh my god you just did it though because weaves are very big on housewives so then um peter is talking to parvati about like let's get her you know um and he's like i was worried we have the votes you know and um he's like i don't think i would be worried if i were you and she's like well i don't know that i trust Peter, but now I need to see where John's head is at, because he's like seen as the most faithful of the faithful. So she sits John down, and she gives, she tries to kind of do the same thing she did with Peter.

And so she's like, I've really just wanted to talk to you, because, you know, I just realized that when I feel like I'm under attack, I can, you know, get a little harsh. And I think that's what I've done with you, John. Yeah. And she's like, yeah, Dan, it's just like, you know, this target, like, I trust the wrong person. Because of Dan, this target is just like stuck on me. And like, when I feel like I'm under threat, I just think it's just like a continuation of how I've been living things that I've been going through for the past two years. And like, the only way I've gotten through that was like completely masking my emotions and putting

on headbands and i'm just like doing the same thing here so i just like don't think it's doing me any favors anymore and he's like this is the first time i've observed you so emotional for what it's worth of all the people that i've met in this game? Nobody has been able to withstand the pressure of having something so gigantic on top of their heads. Is that the second head that's growing out of you? Is it a new jaw? What is that? It's like an archway growing out of your head. It's like you've put a horseshoe on your head.

It's almost as if your head is a piece of luggage that someone is going to pull the handle out of to roll down the airport expressway. It's like you're in one of those games where you're surrounded by stuffed animals and a claw came down to pluck you out and you said no other way around and you took the claw with you. It's as if i have to lift up the handle take out the tiny keurig k

cup pod and put a new one in and slam down the handle on your head to make the keurig work that's what's happening nobody has revealed and displayed greater guts than you in that vice grip of a Keurig machine. Now listen here, my little chip clip. I will do whatever I need to to make sure that you're safe. Now be careful of all the balls flying at your face.

Croquet balls, that is. It looks sort of like a croquet game. So she goes, I would never. I am a faithful, I would never. And she goes, well, I just put a little crack in his mind. And I think like, you know, maybe he's thinking like, maybe she isn't a traitor after all. If I can get away with this,

maybe I have a new career in acting. Which is funny. I don't think that there's not much of a survivor to acting pipeline. So I'm not sure, Parvati. I'm not sure that's going to work out. Not yet. Not yet. Although Mike White has built the survivor to extremely famous TV writer pipeline.

And actually, Mike White has created the survivor to bit bit part in white lotus pipeline because he does cast people from his seasons of survivor on the white lotus which is hilarious oh really i didn't know that yeah that's a little easter eggs for those of us who are survivor fans i can't i love that because most people i feel like try to distance themselves from reality tv like i'm a real actor so um so it's good that he's like bringing reality tv to hbo that's fucking great it is good and i'm sure there are like some survivors who've done very well with acting because i know people are going to write and say actually this person has been doing this for like five years so like i get it i get it i get it so then um phedra is eating and she's basically rubbing blood all over her face saying i'm a

traitor i'm a traitor because she's just rolling around in her towel which is complimenting food she's like pork belly yummy oh that was delicious i love the pork belly i'm like oh my god she's just basically confessing over and over again in here there's literally a sign that says buffet for the traders only and she's just in there and yummy where is everybody phadra if you're alone in this game that's bad go to the people so um meanwhile trishel is sitting with john ct and kate and john's like so what about tonight's business and kate's like well, since I've been here, poverty was mentioned like every single time.

So I'm just going to finish that one because otherwise it's stupid to do anything else. So, okay, this conversation's done. Trishel's like, no, I have something else that I think it could be from day one. And by day one, I mean two days ago, I have noticed some things and written them all down and taken pretty good notes.

You know, for Phaedra, I have a ton of stuff, a all down and taken pretty good notes. You know, for Phaedra, I have a ton of stuff, a ton and ton of ton of stuff. I'm like, Trishel, you did not start taking notes on Phaedra until Dan mentioned something a day ago. Otherwise you would have said something because the moment you're

suspicious of someone, you broadcast it to everyone who's nearby. Yeah. And she's like, well, everybody's going to vote how they want, but I'm just going to give my points. And like, if you think they're believable, cool, just know that I'm voting for Phaedra.

So, I'm gonna go ahead. And so she starts giving them, she starts giving them, and she's like, look, I'm not gonna be murdered, because I have the shield, but I'm less convinced about poverty than Phaedra. So Kate's like, oh, okay, this is somebody that you'd spent a whole game being like, oh, I definitely know this person is a faithful. Wait, who are they talking about? I got lost in my notes. I got lost too. I started thinking about the game.

So Trishel's like, okay, I have a whole list of shit, so don't worry. So then Kate's like, I'm just confused. These people, like, everybody keeps saying Parvati, Parvati, Parvati. And now in the final hour, Trishel is throwing out Phaedra. Like, why are you throwing a wrench in the Parvati plant? Can we just stick to the Parvati, please? I mean, it's the headbands alone. Okay. Let's just get the main anchor out of here.

Sir headbands, please. Listen, I just want to vote her out just basically because of the headbands. I just can't stand looking at them anymore. So Trishel's like, Parvati's by herself, but Phaedra will be hard to get out in the end. I'm like, I don't know if that logic really works. You're right, but I don't know if that logic actually supports you being right in this situation. So Sandra's like, well, that's why you want her name to come up today instead of tomorrow?

And CT's like, yeah, but does she know that you're going to do this? And Treshelle goes, no, because she's such a good arguer. She's the smartest person here. Whatever. Maybe I take terrible notes. And if it's not her, I will burn my notebook, okay? I'm going to burn it. Which, by the way, She's the smartest person here. Whatever. Maybe I take terrible notes. And if it's not her, I will burn my notebook, okay? I'm going to burn it. Which, by the way, she's not going to burn her notebook.

She never will. She doesn't have a notebook. She doesn't have a notebook, too. I don't believe her. So then Phaedra enters the room, and they're like, oh, no. And she's like, oh, you're quiet. Did you all just eat the pork belly? It was delicious.

And this group, they don't have any of that chill like on survivor i will say people are really good about pivoting conversations when someone barges in but here they all cage goes well i have to use the laze room have a great night everyone bye i'd rather be pooping goodbye they all just leave yeah and phadra's like okay well this feels weird but i don't feel my name is going to come up, but who knows? And this is where I start worrying about Phaedra, because she should know. She should be able to sense that they're coming for her. And she should be worrying about planting seeds to get somebody else out.

Because at this point, Phaedra's always on the defense. She's got to do something. I mean, other than murdering people. Right. She's got to do something to cause suspicion for people. But I think that Phaedra going into the roundtable, I think she thinks that she's more in the clear than she is after the whole Dan fiasco. And I think what she's going to learn in this roundtable is that like, oh, probably going forward, she is going to have to be ready with all the excuses, right? So Phaedra, and Phaedra feels,

she knows, I think Phaedra goes into this thinking like, okay, this is the round table where I've got to turn on Parvati. I don't think she realizes this is going to be a round table where she's going to have to defend herself so much. Right.

Okay, so then we get to the round table and Phaedra's like, well like well you know parvati's a good girl but goodbye goodbye and parvati's like it's either gonna be me or phedra but there's no other names on the block so i wish there's a way we could both be saved but unfortunately i'm choosing my headband over phedra she's out shells like i have like the most evidence that you can have in this game. And by the way, people don't realize this. I have a law degree. Well, actually, I have an American Girl Plays doll that is a lawyer.

And that makes me a lawyer. So I've got the evidence. And I'm feeling a bit nervous. But Phaedra has three ride or dies. And I could show them on paper that Phaedra is a traitor. And they still will not vote for her. So Alan comes in fabulously. He's like, who has run out of time?

Who will be punished tonight? And it's a big, long silence. And Parvati's like, okay, well, I guess I need to start today. So I know my name's been out there. Some of you are wondering how I could still be married to Warren Beatty. Well, you know, just don't speak to them. Just don't watch any of his old movies. It was worth it for Bugsy.

It was worth it for Bugsy. Okay, well, people are saying that I'm acting weird, but thankfully, I'm just a girl. And I've met a man whose name is Peter who's made me feel secure again. So I would just like to thank Peter and all men everywhere for what they do for sad, sad, weak women who just need to be told what, Peter, what was I going to say? To do.

What to do. What to do. Thank you. Yeah, I've made some poor decisions in who I decided to trust. And I made friends with Dan, which was a big problem because he was a traitor. And I didn't know he was a traitor.

Now I'm in a real big predicament and I've clammed up like a shell. And Rochelle says, so going over my notes. Did I mention that I've got notes? I've got notes. Yeah. So going over my notes from last night, I was looking back and I was like, when did we like start talking about poverty? Right.

And I didn't have much on poverty. And I had like acting suspect, super quiet, which, by the way, that's what you use to railroad about five people out of this house, Trishel. So she goes, and those are not really compelling arguments unless they're working in my favor. So, but for Phaedra, I have so much for you. Like, I'm going to start with the least compelling and I'm going to end with the most compelling. Like, okay, Trishel. Trishel has the floor, everyone. Yeah. So she just goes on and on. She's like, well, trishel has the floor everyone yeah so she just goes on and on she's like well the first thing is that whenever we go to breakfast you're never nervous like but wasn't the last round table uh the whole thing that phaedra does too much isn't that the

reason why she had to say i do too much because you do too little like so first phaedra good point yeah is phaedra is too over the top at breakfast and now they're saying she's too low-key so i don't understand i mean trishel again correct but i'm just saying your logic is not consistent and she's like you don't seem surprised at who's murdered and she goes what would make you think like wouldn't you also i mean yes someone got murdered but i mean the real story here is they're scones so trishel says you're non-reaction like you're never worried you're not scared about being murdered at all and i'm not sure what that means and she's like i've been nervous numerous times I don't know what you want me to do to be nervous.

I'm not frantic like you. I love that. I love that. I'm not frantic like you. I feel like I've never heard frantic used in such an insulting way before. It's great. And so Trishel's like,

well, I said I'd start with the lowest thing and that was lowest. And it's like, okay, so what's next? And so she says, well, the most compelling thing for me was, and I do not see a way around this, Dan was smart. And I knew he was going to do a roundtable and say someone's name that was a traitor. Because if he put a traitor up, then he'd look like a hero to everybody else for getting rid of a traitor. And I think he turned on you.

And that's why he said your name. So, again, strong argument by Treshelle on that one. But Jon, I think, actually, he comes in and he says, Phaedra, what possible incentive does Dan have at the point at which he knows he is going to be banished permanently from the castle to lie and she's like well i would think that he would protect the traders i mean he's not going to give someone up who is a traitor and kate's like well i remember last year we voted out two traders and i wish it had been that easy that that we would have just like banished and found the trader of who whoever the most recent banished trader had voted for that would have made the game very easy i've got an idea how about this

instead of voting out any traitors why don't we just take poverty's headband and throw it in a fire i think that would just make everyone happy everyone gets to stay why don't we just vote vote out people with terrible fashion if you're wearing a headband or beret let's throw it in the fire. Okay, so Kevin's like, well, I have observations as well. Oh, God. So he's like, Phaedra, your eye twitches. And she goes, well,

I've never had anybody come from my twitchy eye. And Drusilla's like, yeah, well, I noticed it too. I noticed it too. Don't act like it was you too you were the one who bought brought that idea on the table i know i don't think we're allowed to be like coming for people's twitchy eyes anyway i don't think that's very nice yeah page is like oh lord and kevin goes i'm just curious have you grown up with the twitches i'm just curious okay okay matt lock let's settle down over here this is not this is not

helpful okay perry mason relax over there you really got her now oh yeah is he trying to imply that like this is like late life twitching like somehow uh like the twitch like arrived here at the game i guess he's trying to say like is this do you just have like a twitching issue or uh does your twitch only come out when you're acting guilty i thought that was hilarious is the twitching from childhood tell us where did the twitching start is there a wikipedia entry on your twitch yeah so she's like no one's ever said that i've never heard in a day in my life that my eye twitches how dare you and he's like, just an observation. I mean, if you had observed it,

you would have seen it too, but it would look like a strobe light was on because your eye's twitching. So John, CT's like, he's like, so John, what are you thinking? And John's like, well, I do have a thought. I feel it's just intuition. Poverty could well be a duchess of deception and a mistress of murder

But I have heard what you have said in relation to Dan But there is no doubt that you were his accomplice and he yours And possibly his partner in crime I have detected that you have been worried about banishment But that you've been, if you like, serene about the threat of murder. At the sacrifice ritual, people were given the opportunity to plead for their lives, and you didn't. You chose to say nothing. You are a traitorous wench, and you shall be decapitated at dawn. Damn, Dawn.

Jesus. I love that Dawn ultimately did not fall for the sob story. That was great. And so she says, she's like, you know, I've been dead scared until very recently when there's been so much suspicion on me. Because I felt like the more suspicion on me, the more the traitor are going to keep keep me around because they wouldn't murder someone who's probably going to be the next banish because that would be smart for the traitor to do that so i have a i've been a lot more scared about being banished because there's been a lot of suspicion on me you know kevin was like wait wait can you start that from the top i couldn't i know it's a lot it's a lot of monologuing

and so peter's like i have an observation um Peter, don't you just see what happened? Like, let it go. Like, you've just seen this person get her fate sealed. I mean, my God, it's like literally someone nailing nails into a coffin. And Peter's like, oh, here we go. I vote for Bergie. I have an observation. Peter is the best son there ever was.

Okay, continue. I have an observation. Peter is the best son there ever was. Okay, continue. So he's like, Phaedra, I do believe that I haven't seen true faithful qualities from you. And, you know, in regards to the fear that comes naturally with being a faithful. And you're not privy to that fear because you're a traitor. What?

Why is he trying to sound smart right now? And so she goes, oh, you're the faithful king, right? which i love it because it's something like so satanic you know like whenever there's a demon in the movie they're like oh aren't you holy what do you love jesus so peter says i i didn't say that i think i think dan did tell us something whether he intended to or not and i just can't like lose that from my mind trishel says says, yeah, I just think that, like, so many people have gone home for, like, a lot less. I'm like, yeah, because of you, Trishel. You are the one

who sends people home for a lot less. So, Kate steps in, and she says, okay, well, you guys were very passionate about voting out Parvati. She goes, yeah, until I read my notes again. She goes, okay, but so, why did those reasons evaporate again anybody anybody bueller bueller bueller bueller bueller bueller peter says well

i had a conversation with poverty that completely shifted my view and like i'm not saying it's 100 but the pendulum started coming back down so they have now given Phaedra enough time to now come up with her retort. So she says, well, because there's a backdoor deal going down. The other day when I was in the armory with Peter and Poverty, Peter made the interesting comment, Poverty, I can work with you. We can work together. And I said, let me dismiss myself from this because I don't want to be a part of this conversation. So this was great because Phaedra is now using Peter's attempt at a trap against him. And I think that this is a key moment for her. And she's also extremely smart because she's using the momentum they've already got against Parvati, right?

So she's not doing like, stupid Peter could have gotten away with this by not accusing Phaedra. Like, he could have just kept his hands clean, but instead he tried it. Yeah. Yeah. I think that actually Phaedra, well, I mean, she's probably smart in doing this,

but I hope that she plants seeds that Peter was recruited by poverty, which is why they suddenly started working together. I hope, I really hope she plants that seed. Yeah. So she's like, okay, well they're working together and i wouldn't do it

right so she uh peter's like uh uh uh he just looks all scared and he's like uh okay guys well i guess i'll be honest but i know this sounds crazy and peter goes please do be honest he's like well uh when that conversation happened uh i was just being maybe a little cocky and i was like oh i got her like you know dead on my sides and you know i thought do you want to work together it's like oh peter no you didn't think you were going to be called out on this and parvy goes and i said peter why would you want to work with me if you think i'm a traitor and he says and then i said i'm just joking i'm just joking so now kate you know kate can't stand bullshit. So she goes, okay, so after you had the conversation, that was a joke.

Do you want to work together? But suddenly you've changed your mind about Parvati, who you were so passionate about. Help me, like, make this make sense for me, please. Oh, yeah. He's really sealed his own fate here. So Peter's like, why are you defending Phaedra so much? And she's like, because I think it's weird that you've been so parvati, so parvati all this time. And then right after you have this meeting, then you're suddenly on her side. I'm still not a parvati. I'm still not a parvati. And she's like, I'm not done

speaking, which I was glad that she could use one of the men's thing against them, because that's their thing. I'm still talking, ma'am. She's like, I'm defending Phaedra because it's weird that you're so parvati all the time, and then you want to work together and switch it to phaetra and really like the whole thing that your whole big case is relying on is the fact that dan's being this brilliant game player and he must have been like giving and you a clue on his way out and no dan sucked at this game which we all saw and that's why he's not here anymore so i love this see i guess what i love about this is that like what's funny is that all the faithful are right like they are they're gonna hit a traitor no matter what which is what's so funny but i like that um i guess for me when i watch the show i'm like thinking of arguments

that can be used to turn the faith like arguments for phaedra's sake so i love when people actually use them because that's what she's doing here and so i get excited for that well you got it there with that one that's for sure so ct's like i don't know what to think but it's time to vote so now they vote so sandra tells us i totally believe parvati's a traitor I'm glad she's finally got the heat at the round table. She deserves that. So CT's like, yeah, you know, me and Phaedra's getting along pretty well. But, you know, like, I can't light the fire at someone who picked me in that tour ceremony, all right?

So I'm going for the other chick. So I was like, MJ, who do you think is a traitor and why so mj mj does poverty phaedra does uh poverty of course um and but phaedra is actually like respectful in her in her confessional she's basically like i think she played a courageous game i think she was a great traitor but it's time to leave the game she has to you know she's not like she's she's like very respectful they both are to each other and then sandra votes for parvati and but peter votes for phaedra yeah and john votes for parvati and parvati votes for phaedra so this is not looking good for peter he's really a dummy my god yeah but it's all i was still very nervous i was like oh my god if they get rid of Phaedra, I will be so mad. So they're just voting.

It's coming right down to it. But ultimately, it's Parvati who gets voted out. Sounds like Parvati, you have received the most votes and are banished from the game. Come forward to the Circle of Truth, not related to the Circle of Friends, which is available on streaming. Before you leave my castle forever please reveal to us are you a faithful warrior you traitor and she's like guys i've spent the last two years of my life practicing truth telling and emotional authenticity i love that so was she traumatized by her time on survivoror 2 where she's like, guys, I've done emotional work on myself

as a villain from Survivor? Because that's what villains always do. They're like, guys, I've been working on myself for two years. So you're a good person now. I think maybe she's talking about a divorce. She had mentioned a divorce earlier in the season. She was recently divorced. So I'm wondering if she's talking about going through that process.

I have no idea, honestly, what she really is talking about. My suspicion is about a divorce. But yeah, people always, whenever they're villains, they always talk about how they're like working on themselves, making themselves better. I'm like pervody 2.0. She's like, yeah, so I was really working on myself and I wanted to play a faithful game. But I wasn't. I'm a traitor, fuckers. Yep.

And so then they all clap, and they're happy. And Kev's like, that was a good speech for a dummy. And Trishel's like, all right, I'm burning my notebook. I'm burning my notebook. Which she's not going to do. Also, she doesn't have to, because she already said, well, I know poverty is a... I know poverty is a traitor, but we should just get Phaedra out first. So I don't know why she has to burn her notebook.

But I would like her to, because I don't want her to come for Phaedra. Okay. Well, let's see what happens. So are we done? Let me see. No. Oh my God, there's a lot more going on. Yeah, there's more show.

I was like, oh, someone's gone. Okay, bye everybody. Thank you for being here. I know. You're like, hey, this is fun. So I read her speech and I was like, Ben will wrap this up. I'm going to go read on People magazine about Parvati's divorce.

She did get divorced in 2022, for anyone wondering. So everyone goes to drink some wine. And Phaedra's like, whew, that was a lot. That was very scary for me. So Kevin's talking with MJ and he goes, let me just tell you why I don't feel good today. me. So Kevin's talking with MJ and he goes, let me just tell you why I don't feel good today. Cause like all of a sudden Peter not having any suspicion at all of poverty that threw me off a little bit, but I don't know what, no, if it's like really how he felt. And for some reason, I don't know if I believe Peter, there's just something not sitting right with me. So this is great because now Peter's Kevin is one of like the, one of the most loyal Peter people. And now he's suspicious of Peter

because of how everything came out. This is a bad look for Peter. He was outed as having a secret meeting with poverty. He changed his game plan. And now poverty is revealed to be a traitor, which makes Peter look really, really i am i am praying that the faithful are to get totally confused by this and turn it all against peter that would be amazing and what would be amazing if that does happen is that if he does wind up getting banished because of this he could have been a traitor all along he had that opportunity to become a traitor and save his game and instead he tried to be all like virtuous so i really yeah he could have been a traitor and save his game and instead he tried to be all like virtuous so i really yeah he could have been a traitor and gone all the way to the end you know yeah they really all believed

him but alas he's a dummy so he calls kate to speak alone to have an alone talk which is just never going to work out i don't think anybody on the years of television we've watched kate anybody said can we have a private talk where they ended up looking like the bigger person yeah no it's never gonna i mean maybe with captain lee but never with like anybody her peers you know what i mean never it never works and when and as he pulls her sandra is like watching and say here's the thing peter isn't is he was just starting to get sandra's trust and now she's like oh peter's fucked up peter has more traitor behavior than anybody yeah okay so then um sandra and phadra talk a little and sandra's like oh my god peter's fucked up right you know she goes yeah i mean come

on and she's like his his behavior is odd i mean mean, if you're not a traitor, how could you be working with a traitor? This is fishy. So then Peter pulls Kate aside, and he's like, well, look, I was just trying to play with Parvati. She goes, yeah, I know. He just lied to a table of faithfuls about somebody, you know, being not a traitor when you definitely knew that they were a traitor. So you're stupid, and you're going to go to stupid jail. And that's just what you're going to get is a good talk are we finished i'm gonna go not eat and watch people without things on their head do things because i think i've heard that right and he's like no no i was not faithful to a traitor she's gonna be gone tomorrow night do you not believe anything i've been saying like

i was gassing her up the entire day and she was like no i don't believe it no no you're stupid i don't believe you're a stupid person no you're boring you're on laundry stupid and boring you're on laundry until the end of time so basically now they really kate thinks peter's a traitor sandra thinks peter's a traitor kevin's thinking peter's a traitor this is excellent you know i would have liked it if poverty and phadra could have survived intact both of of them. But I love this suspicion. So now we go over to the turret. The turret! And Alan's like, the clock chimes signal to our faithful players to their chambers.

But under the cover of darkness, our last remaining traitor is taking the well-throated path to the turret. But in this place, thou shalt not suffer a traitor to live alone. So he comes to see Phaedra. And Phaedra's like, I'm the last one standing from day one. And I belong in a castle, honey. I'm definitely a queen. And the others fell by the wayside because they were a little suspicious. So I deserve Miss Congeniality for traitors, honey.

So now it's time for Alan to join her and make her pick a new traitor. Yes, so he's like, and then, Phaedra, there was one. And she goes, all by myself. She goes, Phaedra, as per the rules, tonight you will be afforded the opportunity to recruit a faithful to join yours

who would it be because i would like that you will meet face to face tonight in the castle dungeon you must select one faithful and offer them an ultimatum you will ask them a very simple question join you or die i'm gonna ask kate because we have the same sort of kindred spirit she says things i can't but she also understands the game we'll be a murdering duo wow wow they really they really amped fader up for this line murdering duos i could lean into that twitchy eye, Phaedra, now. So Kate gets the letter telling her to go to the dungeon. She's like, dungeon? This is not good, but it's, I guess,

better than being stuck in a room with Rachel Riley. So she has the dungeon, and she's like, oh my god. Oh god, I hate this place. Look at this shithole. Oh god. Hi, I escaped one toxic ginger only to be led to another hi fergus hi i really don't understand what i did wrong okay could you bring me some champagne fergus and he just locks her in the dungeon she's like fergus

i like how kate screams for help fergus what the fuck is going on? Fergus. Fergus. Okay, fine. So that was it. We now... To the ending. Yeah, the question is whether or not... I mean, obviously Kate's going to do it. Kate will become a traitor. And then Kate and Phaedra together is kind of a dream team.

Like, this is amazing. Do you think this was the right pick by Phaedra? Oh, yeah. I think it's a good pick because for whatever reason, I would suspect Kate right from the beginning because she's Kate. And she's also like, clearly I hate all of you. She has that vibe.

She doesn't try to hate it. And she stuck up for Phaedra, who does kind of look suspicious at this point i think especially after i think whenever somebody comes for you you look suspicious naturally um so yeah i think that they might come for kate but they've come for everybody they're going to come for everybody at some point and i think kate will be good at dropping uh we haven't really seen a ton of manipulation yet where people are manipulating the other players to go after people and i think kate will be good at that yeah i think

i think kate is a great choice she does know the game i mean you can make arguments for other things i mean this would be a chance to actually put peter against the wall where it's like okay this time you have to become a traitor otherwise you're out of the game and he probably would fold then but i guess i wonder um if the shield good now what it's no good now because he's now everyone think it was a good idea when he was a faithful but right it would be a waste it would be a waste to vote him out anyway yeah it might as well use that suspicion um but yeah i think kate's i think kate is the right choice and it's definitely my favorite choice because i'm so excited to see the two of them hatch plans. And I really hope that they have some time to hatch plans.

I hope we have a few episodes of the faithful doing the wrong thing so we can just really live in a Phaedra-Kate space for a bit. Yeah. All right. Well, I thought Trishel would be a good choice, but I think she wouldn't do it. I think she's one of those...

She's like, I'm a good person, so... True, but she also... She's really afraid of being murdered. So I don't think she would one of those. She's like, I'm a good person. True, but she also, she's really afraid of being murdered. So I don't think she would want to be murdered. She would take it just to not be murdered. Yeah. I don't know. Okay, well, everybody, good times.
