Now do the show but only with senior academics.
The Traitors is a very different game when the players are either friends already or in an industry where, if you’re making a project together, you are used to quickly bonding and making fast friends for the duration.

Following Jemima's example, I asked it too, and...
This is impressively definitive! Either you believe Grok and Wikipedia is more reliable - or you don’t believe Grok, which is the editor of Grokipedia, and have to conclude in a whole other way that Wikipedia is more reliable!
