I just binged through this after opening Peacock for the first time in months and having no idea what it was. I just by chance stopped on the thumbnail and saw Dan Gheesling and immediately turned it on.

I'll post more in depth thoughts later but I enjoyed it a lot. I was very bummed to see the show is still ongoing and now I have to wait to finish the rest lol. But I haven't watched S1 at all so I may watch through that if it's worth it.

I will say it's really weird watching all these obviously very rich people compete for money... and a relatively small prize in reality TV terms at that!

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.

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 Spoiler + 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.

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.
