Traitors '25 Starts 1/1/25 8pm

[Orang Utan]

I am about to do so, mainly cos danny la rouge ordered me to.

Didn’t last long. Starts with some silly Harry Potter shit and I drifted off as soon as Winkelman started explaining the show.
I think the only way I can watch reality tv with presenters who talk to the camera is if someone I like who likes the show is in the room with me. I’d HAVE to pay attention out of politeness. Nobody want to watch telly with me though as I never got the hang of interacting with both the telly and one’s fellow viewers at the same time, without annoying others or losing the plot. Am gonna watch an old BBC doc about Angel tube station instead.
Maybe I’ll give it another go this weekend.

It’s called the Glenfinnan Viaduct!



I know you meant the owl nonsense. That’s just silly fluff. I don’t know why TV companies think that’s acceptable.

I don't remember any Harry Potter shit.

Right, I've gotten thoroughly up to date with it now, uncloaked n all. A solid selection of interesting folks and complete fuckwits.

Glad Nathan went straight out, just for wearing his bloody coat to the round table. Instant wrong un. Their rationale for getting rid of him was bloody stupid, but it's the first one, they always are. The rationale against Elen was also stupid and a bit of a shame as she seemed to have a bit of brain (although, how being a Welsh translator means you are 'good at reading people' is beyond me). Obviously sound logic for Armani, although I suspect a few of them voted for her cos they just found her annoying.

Linda and Dan dont seem to know what the actual game is. Linda is so clearly led by... anyone. they may as well let her stay in for a while, any replacement would be better at it than her. Dan doesn't get that it isn't an entirely selfish game and that his selfishness is costing them money. The money they're meant to win. That will backfire on him.

No one has really impressed with their detective skills so far, other than Jakes immediate spot. Minah is playing a great game.

Maia will have been killed.

I'm a translator and I think people on the show are conflating translators with interpreters, who do have to be good at reading people. It's why I'm not one. I get annoyed when people assume because I can translate, I can interpret cos it's a different set of skills! I don't know if Elen interprets though.

The intelligent ones are always seen as threats. I missed Elen's banishment - was that why people thought she was a Traitor?

I'm aware that the viaduct has featured in Harry Potter but I didn't realise that the owl stuff was a HP reference.
