Is that white smoke I spy emerging from the castle chimney?
Habemus traitor: Her Unholiness Parvati Shallow.
She is thrilled, and so am I.
This is going to be fun!
Dan suggests killing Kevin, a choice that would theoretically baffle everyone because he hasnt done anything.
Hey, no strategy is a strategy!
The sun rises over the loch, the moors (Actually,arethose moors?
Again New Jersey).
The players file into breakfast, anxious to see who has perished overnight.
Also, it is not lost on me that Tamra gives the impression of wearing a tam.
That is all I have to say about Tamra at this time.
Our cast is now, figurativelyandliterally, one banana short of a bunch: Johnny is dead.
That sends a strong message, indeed.
Trishelle brings up her conflict (conflict) with Peppermint, which is … news to Peppermint.
The Supreme Court has heard worse defenses than that.
Also, Peppermint points out, The bitch is sitting at the table.
Shes not even dead.
Shes effectively on trial for a murder that hasnt even happened, veryMinority Report.
For todays mission, the category is lumberjack.
The contestants are split into three teams, wearing matching flannel overshirts in red, blue, or yellow.
The teams must make their way to a field where $20,000 is hidden as fast as they can.
If correct, the key dangling from the scarecrow should unlock the next box.
But this mission kind of sucks.
Question two: Whos the most popular player, Deontay or Peppermint?
But, lo and behold, the Deontay key doesnt fit!
(Again: I imagine the timing of this questionnaire really matters!)
His plan to speak only when spoken to may be working against him.
How low a profile istoolow?
The teams reach the field, where dozens of scarecrows loom, CGI-ass birds swooping menacingly overhead.
Ten scarecrows contain gold, three contain immunity shields.
That said, at the roundtable, she does have some support.
Maks, correctly, tells Trishelle that shes peddling a non-story.
Well he was asthmatic in hisyouth,he clarifies.
Frustrated, John insists that all their votes should be based on real evidence.
Yeah, but … what evidence?
The vast majority of players vote for Peppermint, though John and Trishelle catch a few strays.
Thats right: Of the three players who received votes, not a single one was a traitor.
Its all a treacherous world.
That shit makesme wanna cry because I can like I relate to that.
I know what it feels like.
People go against you, bro, and thats not a good feeling, man.
His face registers a further painful realization.
]Oh, man to know that Im a[pointing for dramatic emphasis]part of it now.
That was … kind of amazing?
Is Deontay soft-launching an acting career?
Own it, lady!
Meanwhile, Marcus gently but directly tells Dan that he noticed he didnt say a word at the roundtable.
(I see why the cast trusts Marcuss opinion!)
But she doesnt seem disappointed when Dan and Phaedra take off their hoods.
On a scale of one to Gene Parmesan?!?!
?, Id grade her reaction at least a six.
