Bestselling author, Pointless Answer, was on The Traitors before it was cool. I do games.

Realised I had a headache from dehydration as I always forget to drink water, so I downed a litre and a half of the cool wet stuff and now I have a headache and I feel sick

Neighbours have lent us their WiFi while we move in, which is kind, except it's not fast enough to load a speed test to see how fast it isn't

My new town has a board game group who meet weekly in a brewery and I'm just ✨d e l i g h t e d ✨ about it, never had a regular board game group before.

Ok wait, a slightly more offline pal of mine thinks different breathy 'hahh' noises in #TheTraitors refer to different players, but only one matches the one when Claudia introduced the twist! More on this if it leads to something...

Faraaz tossing off one guy with the other two waiting in the background is not the mental image I expected to take away from this episode

What is with this constant sound cue of a woman exhaling really fast like she's burnt her mouth on soup?

This Secret Traitor twist is tough for me. It'll please the chuckleheads who ask each year to turn the show into The Mole, but now the actual traitors are being edited as faithfuls and the actual faithfuls become largely irrelevant. I trust Studio Lambert can pull it off if anyone can.

Here's my theory: Jessie is the secret traitor. She's the perfect pick, nobody suggests her, and with her stutter this role gives her the power for her actions to speak louder than her words. Surely it's her...

If we're getting the Red Traitors Vs Green Traitors idea (two sets of two traitors, both know each other exist but not who they are and each team only gets to kill every other night) I will be both delighted and annoyed nobody took me seriously when I suggested it.

Want some genuinely great boardgame recommendations for Xmas? All sorts here, from light party games to heavy strategy - including recs from yours truly. I would've raved about Magical Athlete but @danthurot.bsky.social had that base covered (I got it off the strength of his original review!).
