I just re-watched Aussie. It's good but it makes me want to learn how to speak like that. | | |

Episode 6
|
I knew we were losing Dan so at least I was prepared. :(
It was such a bad move to try to kill Bergie. He's not that smart imo, he was just following his group. But, if you're going to take a risk, why are you believing Peter who voted for you at the roundtable? I think He should've taken the bigger risk and killed Peter (obv but this is from my viewer's perspective) or just kill John. John is just a follower and it would've been safer since he was in the inside group who had no risk of having a shield.
I knew (guessed) once Dan was banished they would have the choice to recruit. I thought they may have HAD to recruit so, at least it was a choice. I do think Peter is a very good choice IF he accepts, but I'm not sure Mr. Bachelor will accept. He seems a little too high and mighty lol. Maybe he will, though. If so, this will be very fun!
I didn't expect Dan to survive but was very happy he went after Phaedra and not the obvious choice in Parv. I thought after he was revealed as a traitor it might make Phaedra look more like a faithful, but, as we saw, Trishelle has some suspicion about Phaedra now. Hope that pans out tbh because I really do not like Phaedra.
I really really miss Janelle. I'm still loving Sandra and hope her forehead wound heals without a scar.
100% rooting for Parvati! |

Boy, can't say I was really surprised it was Dan but he sure did go out swinging. That reminded me of anytime I come up with this awesome idea in my head to deflect when I'm in trouble as scum and go out of my way to type a big paragraph that I feel great about only for everyone to go "lol no #lynch KC"
Dan definitely did that to help Phaedra out if he'd fail and I do think that it will... however I'm thinking people are going to pick up on the fact that the Traitors probably got a chance to recruit which is going to put heavy suspicion on both her and Peter. I think John or Bergie may have been a smarter choice to recruit. I do think Peter is going to accept because he knows he's in danger of dying soon anyway but his sudden change in attitude is going to put suspicion on him right away. |

Episode 6/7/8
|
Boy have I soured on this season quickly. These three episodes were brutal, especially 7 and 8
- Too many duds left all of a sudden
- The Bravo crew, I'm over it
- Bringing Kate back is awful, she's so cringey. I'm so upset Phaedra picked her to recruit
- The editing is hooooooooorrible. It was bad in the AUS season that I just watched, but going from that to this is brutal. It's so much worse here. Every audio clip from a player is so clearly hacked together. "(I don't)(TRUST)(Parvati)(ANY)(more)"
- Previews keep spoiling it. Even the preview of the season before it started, there's a line from Phaedra to a particular that's been stuck in my head and hasn't happened yet so I've known neither of them are leaving
- The Dr. Will cameo was a flop lol
- This next one is a biggish one that I read from a couple of interviews and is kinda spoilery so I'll tag it:
|
| I've read that as of the end of episode 6ish, everyone basically knows for a fact that Parvati and Phaedra are traitors. It's like the worst kept secret, so watching ep 7 and 8 and knowing that everyone already knows the remaining traitors really takes the wind out of the sails of the season. I'm confident Phaedra's being banished real soon. Everyone's just pretending not to know for the sake of the show. The only thing that can possibly be interesting now is a recruit down the stretch, which unfortunately is Kate right now so that sucks. I hope someone else is recruited near the finish line to make things slightly interesting again |
- The torch circle thing in ep 7 was a huge momentum killer. Production jumping in to save Peter (who has been awful to watch), clear as day. I enjoyed the Sandra pool table scene and was excited to see that play out, a Peter banishment/blindside would've been one for the books. Instead we got that dud of a 'twist' which was clearly hobbled together last minute.
- Between the Bergie survival, Peter turning down the recruitment, and no banishment in 7, things got so stagnant and barely anyone died in this three ep stretch
Just kinda hit a real rough stretch for me. Not that it was ever close to GREAT but it was at least fun despite its flaws. Now the gameplay isn't very interesting and neither are most of the players
Rooting for CT and kinda Sandra and the list ends there for sure. I just wish it was somewhat competitive or tense or paranoia filled

Kate is great stop being a hater.
Definitely agree it’s kind of lost its luster a little bit. Kind of wish they’d just let the traitors die. Would be kind of interesting to watch them try to find a non existent traitor and who ends up in the end.
I liked Peter’s crew (especially Bergie) so it stinks that they are losing to the Bravo Crew. Phaedra stinks. Sandra winning another show would be crazy, Sandra, CT, and Peter. |

E7 & 8

Yeah I definitely agree. This show lost a lot of really great characters early on and most of the ones that are left are pretty unbearable. I still have a soft spot for John as I find his character really endearing and CT is probably my favorite. But I cannot stand Peter or his pals. And I don't like the Bravo ladies at all. Just seems like they're all riding each other to the end no matter what and all of them are fucking duds.
In regards to Curtis' spoiler tag
|
| I honestly thought the same thing. Phaedra is so damn obvious and I cannot stand watching her argue with people at the table. She is so scummy in her defenses and so fake with her reactions. I really was hoping Dan would be able to sink her and was very bummed when he didn't. Pretty obvious they were trying to save Parvati because they know the dumb Bravo group won't vote Phaedra out, not necessarily because they didn't think Parvati was a traitor. |
I still haven't watched S1 (and I'm sure glad this episode contained spoilers for it lol) so I'm not sure what happens if all Traitors are caught early on.... but I'm sure rooting that is the case at this point. |

John! Loved his speech at the table tonight. Very lame they'd cliffhanger the banishment decision. Pretty uneventful episode all in all. Challenge was boring as paint to watch. Kevin was a bit of a meh death.
I tried pausing to see what MJ voted on but Peacock either wanted to go right to Postmortem or show an ad to keep me from having a still screen on for too long so I couldn't quite make out who it was for. I really do think Phaedra is gone though and I really hope she is. Really can't see them cliffhangering a Peter death as it'll just be business as usual. I lol'd at Kate being so obvious and her demeanor at the table is going to make her a huge target. She's usually pretty vocal but just sat silently and voted Peter with "Eh, I just don't trust you". Everyone already knows Sheree is just going to blindly follow Phaedra. Sandra... not sure what the fuck she's thinking.
If it is Peter, that'd be a shame. I'm not his biggest fan but I'm rooting for him here. I really just can't see how anyone could be fooled by Phaedra at this point. She's so obvious. And I'm kind of afraid she'll float to the end with her Bravo buddies if she survives here, especially if they kill John or Trishelle. |

S9 + Finale
|
Boy, that was frustrating to watch for the most part. First of all, Phaedra was absolute garbage. The minute it became obvious, she just gave up and that's a big shame. I think Kate was fairly obvious but Phaedra doing what she did pretty much blew Kate's chances of winning to 0.
Could not stand the Bravo clique this whole game and I was excited to see them fall one by one. I absolutely loved the ending. We knew Kate wasn't winning (thank god) but CT and Trishelle dumping MJ in the end was unexpected but made such a good ending. I loved their story this whole game and they've both been heavy favorites of mine for awhile. |

Finale + Reunion
|
Strong-ish ending compared to the weak stretch in the middle. I reallyyyy thought we were gonna lose CT at the f3 which would've been brutal. I was shocked at Trishelle's vote and even more shocked when MJ stuck to voting Trishelle the second time instead of trying to team up with her on CT. I did not feel bad at all for MJ, I thought she was very bad the entire time/wasn't entertaining or memorable at all/didn't deserve to win nearly as much as CT and Trishelle. CT carried the missions and played things very straight and Trishelle put herself out there a lot at the roundtable. MJ floated hard within the awful Bravo clique, her Peter vote was awful. Sandra on the other hand for sure knew what she was doing by chilling within that group, intentionally banishing faithful, and letting a traitor protect her til the end. MJ and Sheree were just pretty brutal to watch. I was happy for CT and Trishelle
Also very happy that Kate lost, thank god. I will say she was much easier to stomach during the reunion, that seemed to be the more authentic Kate where as the one on the show is very try hard and cringey. MJ was obnoxiously bitter. I definitely think it's a tale of two backgrounds like they were saying, 'gamers' and Bravo. I wanna see way more gamers and way less Bravo next season but that won't happen
Dan took it from ALL sides during the reunion lol. I thought he handled it very well, I felt bad for him. Bananas being bitter af is weird too
Overall a fine/fun enough season, but boy did that middle drag and look bleak. Would've loved to see Dan/Parvati do better and for Phaedra to recruit almost anybody else down the stretch. It's just not as fun when it feels like all the traitors are pretty much known and outed. Peter Pals were annoying but it was nice to see them drop in quick succession. And as annoying as it was watching the Faithfuls...be correct about their suspicions, it was still satisfying watching those two faithfuls in particular win in the end. Looking forward to s3
