Not that it matters to anyone but me but Alan’s dog Lala, is a female rescue from Costa Rica. She has sweet brother named Jerry (also a rescue street dog). Meet Lala I do like the shots of the dog. Thanks for the info.

Janelle's dress was gorgeous!
I'm not on board with Trishelle's assessment, but ... that's okay.
Just caught up, after being out of town, and I can't wait for the ending! Kate of all people? She seems as shocked as I am that she's still there.
As brilliantly cast as this season was, I'm slightly disappointed in the final people. Of course the big, loud personalities are going to get out before the quiet, boring ones, but leaving us with so many quiet boring ones is a bit disappointing, more so because I don't know them from their shows. But oh well, at least there's CT and Sandra left that I can root for.
Saw this and had to laugh:

Oh my gosh, that is so funny! I love that, playing checkers with chess pieces. Thanks for that Navybelle! I also disagree with Trishelle, but if it makes her feel great that she was instrumental in getting out a player that she thinks was the ‘best,‘ that’s fine. It’s just a game.

I guess we would need to know what Trishelle’s definition of “great” is. Phaedra wasn’t the greatest strategist, but she was great TV!

When you go back and watch the Round Table when Dan gets banished. When Dan's goes after Phaedra she defended herself beautifully; if Phaedra had done that for her own banishment it would have been fantastic and may have changed people's minds but they needed a person to throw blame on and neither Kate nor Phaedra had done the ground work for that. Phaedra had made too many mistakes by this point.

Agreed! Plus, Phaedra was just tired of playing the role of Traitor. She even said she was exhausted, and you could see from her talk with Sheree that she didn't want to betray her friends any longer. She had mentally checked out.

Hi, all! I'm really late to the Traitors train. I've had the last few weekends pretty free, and I'd been wanting to check out The Traitors, so I guess this was the time to binge, binge, binge. I watched Season 1 of the US, UK, and Australia versions, then started in on US Season 2. I'm completely obsessed!
I will say though, I feel like US Season 2 is pretty much a let down. These traitors have not played the game nearly as smart as season 1. My husband even said it as we watched Season 1. Cirie was masterful...she picked murders that would not point the finger back at herself. She caused chaos where she needed to and sat back when necessary, and completely kept suspicion off her.
Dan and Parvati played like they were playing Survivor or Big Brother...vote out your enemies and vote out "the other side". Every time I was going - WAIT! They'll KNOW it was you! Then Phaedra this last week...John says "when I end up dead..." and so who does Phaedra pick? John! Seriously? I just don't see intelligent game-play.
Is it just me??

I commend you on your endurance. All three versions are vastly different from each other.
USA 1 was a serio comic to me and Cirie was masterful. Who the Traitors are really depends how the game is played. A good Traitor equals a great game.
USA 1 vs UK. UK is a hands down winner. UK got vicious.
AUS 1 - I have 3 episodes to go but it was a slog but got better and better.
USA 2 - part of this was I think is that production is treating it more as a showcase for famous reality TV stars vs a competition show. Let's face it the Bravo Ladies don't understand the world of competition reality vs fighting over camera time and the best outfits.

You are not alone vanillalatte and your points are sound, which is why some of us disagree with Trishelle's comment. In addition to Cirie, I also liked the way a couple of UK Traitor's played the game as believable faithfuls. You don't have to win to be good at playing a traitor, but, you do need to make smart moves, and not be obvious about it. Phaedra's comment to novice Kate "So, what's the plan?", shows she would have played a better game as a faithful.

I read a few good Yahoo! articles today, speculating on what will happen on Traitors. First of all, the finale will air Thursday at 9 Eastern and 6 Pacific. And it will be followed by the reunion. Andy Cohen elbowed the brilliant Alan Cumming aside again to host. "Andy Cohen, who hosted the star-studded sit-down, spilled some tea regarding the “epic” showdown on his radio show, Andy Cohen Live. “Both the epic finale and dramatic reunion of The Traitors will be streaming this Thursday on Peacock at 9:00 PM,” he said. The Watch What Happens Live host continued, teasing that what’s left of the series is non-stop drama and unsuspecting twists. “… at the reunion taping, we began the reunion with all of the Faithfuls out there and the Traitors that were no longer in the show. Okay? … None of them had seen the finale. They had all seen the first, I think, 45 minutes of the finale. We sat there together and showed them the last 20 minutes so they could all see how it all played out and get their immediate reactions to that, which is really exciting.” So, that's exciting! The full cast only learned at the reunion how it ended. link to the article and this link is an interesting interview with a producer who is currently in pre-production on Season 3!

Well, I'm hoping CT wins with whatever remaining faithfuls have survived Kate's murder. I would be surprised if Kate won, but, I would not be disappointed. She has kept me amused since she joined this season (midway?). If I had to send someone home (and I was Kate), I would murder Sandra, because she is most suspicious of Kate. But, I don't know that Kate realizes that. Trishelle is my most annoying faithful, so if she is murdered I will be clapping. See you later tonight!

It’s tricky with Sandra, because she’s the one Kate was trying to set up as someone to banish as a Traitor, so killing her would get rid of Kate’s “would-be shield.”
