I am going to honor myself today by making this week quick and easy, so I can get back to watching The Traitors Season 2. I finished up with Season 1 on Friday Night, and when Cirie won the game, I was annoyed that she had to justify why she didn’t want to share the money. All of her points were valid.
The contestants signed up for a show where they knew it was based on a competition. She mentioned that her family needs college funds, and her 83-year-old mom needs assistance. It’s not adding up to me for the runner-ups to say they had children on the way when she too was using the funds for her family. I’m not exactly sure why they thought she was supposed to sacrifice her family’s well-being for theirs. They tried to make her feel guilty, but don’t try to rewrite the rules of the game just because you lost.
She made a good point when Arie thought they were going to split the money, and she said how it’s unfair because she was a traitor from Day 1. He became a traitor towards the end. None of the runner-ups had a target on their back as intensely as she did. I think he was shady when he removed himself and said he has his business and supportive family. Well sir, that’s even more reason why you should understand why Cirie needs all of her coins. Strategic decisions were made from the beginning to win, and the two remaining faithfuls made it to the end because they were the most clueless about who the real traitors were. Mr. Political Analyst was hilarious because how are you to keep preaching about how great you are at reading people and consistently be loud and wrong? Kyle was the only one to hit the nail on the head about the real traitors, and it got him eliminated.
The 250k split (and the final amount was way less) between 4 people is questionable when the goal was to take home the entire prize pot. She said she would’ve considered sharing if there was a larger amount to split. I understand that relationships were built, and trust was broken. But let’s be serious here – none of them should have trusted each other in the first place. Even the traitors turned on each other to save themselves. *Inserts video of Tyrese crying and saying, “What more do you want from me?”* Every man for himself. It was not a congeniality contest, and everyone went to the castle with a tactic. Multiple players repeated it, and it’s the truth: it’s a GAME. Now, let’s see about Ms. Phaedra. Do you think you could pull off a competition show built on mind games and methodical planning?
