I hope Alex can persuade Ben to overcome his lack of enthusiasm for this series. We understand his annoyance at the way Kate was imposed on a second series, but we HAVE had fabulous ground-breaking gameplay with these contestants and that should be celebrated and dissected much more please. And don't forget the limericks! Peter's misinformation ruse about Bergie's shield was really impressive and drove the banishment narrative for the middle episodes. Arguably it outranks the shield-related gameplay in UK season 2 because it is much harder for a faithful to carry if off since they are much more in the dark than the traitors. You both did laud the innovative use of props for strategy planning from both Sandra and the snooker balls and CT and his slate. I also did actually enjoy Kate's pieces to camera after being made a traitor - at least she was being pretty open and showing her vulnerability while also having a pop at Phaedra for not having a plan and turning into a crap traitor all of a sudden. Mind you, Ben's theory that Kate has been a super-bad influence on Phaedra is an appealing one. So rediscover your enthusiasm Ben and read out more comments you've been sent please and don't overlook the limericks! Thanks for all the shows.

The recruit and murder in the same night has happened in aus s1, nz s1 and uk s1 so I don’t think you can blame producers. It seems to be a rule that if 1 traitor recruits they then murder as that’s what happened and with one exception in the ca s1

With this US series, I have realized that this show is so much better when the faithfuls can't figure out who the traitors are. There was no suspense at all. All of the traitors were found out really easily. Another reason why the UK series is superior. Even with US series 1, the person who won came to a shock to the other contestants. I think the all reality version also ruins it. The forming of alliances based on what network you are on takes all of the fun out of it. These US reality stars are too dependent on what they think is gameplay such that they are actually all terrible at gameplay.

John actually got the shield, not CT. CT almost did though!

I was thinking that myself - although during his big speech at the round table, John mentioned that he would probably not survive the night. So we all can be forgiven for the confusion 😸
