Starts in two days I believe! S1 was silly and dumb but fun. Looking forward to this one, some great cast members. Particularly excited to see Dan and Parvati. I bet one is a traitor and one dies way too early

Looks like at least three are being dropped at once. Maybe all I’m not sure

Who started?

Episode 3

I was so excited to see Dan as a Traitor. I knew they wouldn't pass up one of Dan/Parv/Janelle/Sandra but I was secretly hoping for Dan/Parv. And now we get both! I feel a bit oversaturated on Sandra and Janelle tbh so I'm glad it went this way. They still would've been great traitors though. Dan 100% knew what the audience wanted by steering the recruit direction Parv/Sandra/Janelle's way lol. But he also knows they're all great choices Would've liked to see Bananas stick around longer, that was a bummer. I'm indifferent on him but it would've just been nice seeing a known schemer last a bit. Enjoying CT so far. The Trishelle vs Peppermint stuff was awk. Also liked the moment Love Island dude ran the graveyard challenge Marcus would've been a good Faithful I think, he was already clocking Dan. Makks or whatever was also good I thought. Bad at defending himself and communicating, but had good hunches and saw through some bullshit I was NERVOUS for Dan! I sadly don't see him lasting all too long, hope I'm wrong though. People just know how clever he is and they're not gonna let him get too deep. Though they also knew with you know who from s1 and look what happened. But that cast was also way dumber. Speaking of which, glad it's not a mix of stars and newbs this season, I'm getting bad flashbacks just thinking about Quentin and Andi and how bad they were Rooting for the traitors big time, I don't wanna see any of them get caught but it's inevitable. Also liked the poison cup cliffhanger. That's probably going to Bachelor boi

Episode 4

lol I loved this episode. The funeral march was so dumb and over the top but amusing. The clues were horrible though, they were so easy to figure it out or just like...state the answer to really. But her death reveal was a lot of fun I didn't like Larsa at all and thought she would last awhile so I was so glad the vote flipped on her. I didn't wanna see the Bravo people band together and run it either OH and I totally forgot that Deontay quit. That was a bummer Phaedra calling out Parvati was so funny lol, she kinda had her (and Dan) clocked tbf. That spat was fun and awkward Editing continues to be horrible but that's okay

I wish they only cast two housewives tbh. Not FIVE and a bf, six is way too big of a block. They kinda blend together to me but it also hurts that I don’t know them at all. I just wish they used the spots for more “gamers” as they call them. I’m excited to see future casts assuming it gets renewed

Ep 5

Spoiler

You have a solid cast and a good thing going and then you decide the season needs....Kate. Why. She was obnoxious in s1. Janelle to Kate is a wild downgrade Sad to see Janelle go but thrilled to see Dan survive and get a W before he fursure takes a big L next episode. That'll be sad to see, but it seemed clear they folded to him and are gonna flop a kill on Bergie. That's gonna suck, they should've called Pete's bluff and killed him, it would've been a win-win risk whether he died or not cause it would've bought them a lot of credit. I think Bergie survives and Dan gets banished next ep, though I would love to see him get out of it (maybe throw Phaedra under the bus?). Still seems clear his days are numbered though Either way, glad for Janelle that she was right about Dan on her way out at least. I don't wanna see any of my favorites get too bamboozled or embarrassed lol, it's tough TIERS: Dan Parvati CT Phaedra Pete Sandra Bergie Trishelle MJ John Sheree Kevin Kate

Watch AUS s1 with me!

But then watch US s1 later

Renewed for s3!

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: Spoiler + 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

She is faaaaaaar from great. She’s never said anything remotely close to funny

Finale + Reunion

Spoiler

+

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
