The Traitors (Season 4) Rob in the Box

Join Christine and Michelle as they Recap the Fourth Season of The Traitors.  In the ninth episode of the season, a new Traitor is recruited!  Their murder is exacted upon another unsuspecting Faithful as the breakfast table grows smaller.

In a game of human Jack in the Box, the contestants add a bismal pittance to the prize pot as the Traitors wreak havoc upon the psyche of the Faithfuls by nominating 4 contestants on the shortlist for Murder.

The roundtable is another disastrous scene where yet another Faithful is banished from the castle.  In the turret, the Traitors choose one faithful from the shortlist for Murder -- a result revealed by the turn of the dial on the Jack in the Box.  

Grab a glass of wine and join the extraordinary fun that is Recapaholics!

SPEAKER_01 0:39

Welcome to another week of Recappaholics. Yay! And we are recapping season four, episode nine of The Traitor.

SPEAKER_02 0:48

Do I tell you that people all around the world for some reason are listening to this? To this?

SPEAKER_01 0:53

Wait, us or watching traitors? To us.

SPEAKER_02 0:56

Really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 0:57

Is it because I say three tests? And my Scottish brothers and sisters are like, yeah. That's it.

SPEAKER_02 1:03

She got it. The reason why. I'm a little Scottish. Oh, did you do the DNA test?

SPEAKER_01 1:07

I did my DNA test. I'm mostly of Nigerian, Congo, Senegal.

SPEAKER_02 1:14

We've got some listeners in South Africa. Oh. Hi, my brothers and sisters. Germany. I'm not German. No. Australia. My husband has relatives in Australia. And United Kingdom. Oh, UK. I'm a little, I'm a little uh French. Oh, you're you're a dual linguist.

SPEAKER_01 1:32

My my DNA. Oh. It said French, Wales, Scottish. I feel like the Wales. Is that British? Is that Britain? Yeah. I'm a little, I'm a little Britney. I went there. I couldn't understand anything anyone said. Oh, the accent? I was. It's English. I know.

SPEAKER_00 1:48

I was like, what the?

SPEAKER_02 1:50

We got on one of those buses. You can understand Morris' accent, but you can't understand the British accent.

SPEAKER_01 1:55

Because Morris speaks American English most of the time. Then someone like nudges her and reminds her she's supposed to be pretending to be Scottish. But I on the hop on hop off bus in London, which I love London. If I can live anywhere else in the world, it would be London. I don't like the cloudy skies. I don't like the cloudy skies, but I love the vibe. I love the people. I feel like you have this big city, but it's you could find some CD underbellies if you really need it. But I the bus driver was just like, there's a business for the buttons. I literally said, What language are you speaking right now? And he goes, English. With no accent. And he was like, Yeah, he was like, the proper English.

SPEAKER_02 2:36

And I just rolled his eyes, fucking America. We also have some listeners in Hong Kong. Ooh, that's exactly and the Russian Federation. Shit.

SPEAKER_01 2:48

We better go back and heavily redact this whole podcast. How are they accessing this there? I don't know. I feel like there's more important shit going on in Russia right now. It's probably what's her name? Julia. Julia. We have we're too. It's probably Julia listening to us. Hi, Julia. Hope you're okay. Drop us a line. Let us know what's going on.

SPEAKER_02 3:11

Julia's birthday. Oh, happy birthday, Julia. It's also the Chinese New Year. Oh. Okay. I don't really get into astrology that much, but I do like to read it. We like to go to the psychic sometimes. Yeah. And I think that my whole fascination with the Chinese New Year this year started when I went to the grove and I saw the structure. You see that with the vials of the colored liquid in the bottles?

SPEAKER_01 3:37

No, what are you talking about? Was it like I think I saw a dragon? What a paper machine's dragon. Is that what you're talking about? What did you say? The thing, the structure with the liquids in the jar.

SPEAKER_02 3:48

How does that translate to a Chinese dragon? It made a dragon. The dragon is filled with these little vials. And it's and it and hold on, I'm gonna read the quote of what it said. I took a picture of the sign. Is Russia known for vodka? Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 4:04

Sergei. Do you remember Sergei used to make the vodka from the lemons in his trees in his bathtub? I remember Sergei wanted you to pose nude for him so he can paint a picture.

SPEAKER_02 4:12

I remember that too.

SPEAKER_01 4:13

Ah, and Sergei also had really good chocolate. Yeah, he did. Dark chocolate.

SPEAKER_02 4:17

Yeah, it says that the there are thousands of medicine bottles filled with colored liquid. Then together they make up for lanterns. And at night, when you light it, the dragon glows. Yeah, glows. Oh yeah. And so it's the year of the horse? It's the it's not the horse dragon. It's the it's called something. It's called the fire horse. The fire horse. It's the year of the fire horse. That's exciting. That sounds exciting. I don't know anything about this fire horse. And then I looked up, or then I started looking up the horoscopes for the fire horse year. Yeah. And then you told me incorrect what your Chinese. I thought it was a monkey.

SPEAKER_00 4:58

I'm projecting.

SPEAKER_02 5:00

I thought it was a monkey. And it's a really bad year for the monkeys. You told me I don't want to tell your monkey. And I told you that I didn't want to be your friend.

SPEAKER_01 5:06

Yeah, you're like, I'm gonna cut my losses right now. I cannot be around town with no monkey. I have a rep to maintain within the Chinese holidays. But it turns out mine wasn't the monkey. I don't know why I thought it was maybe because monkey, it was the Chinese, it was the year the monkey went to. I don't know, whatever. But now I'm what did I say it was?

SPEAKER_02 5:26

Oh, I think it was something awesome though. I think it was. I do remember that you went back and you told me it was something awesome. So then I agreed to be your friend again.

SPEAKER_01 5:32

Yeah, so you were like, I guess I can roll that. I am oh yeah, yeah. I'm the tiger. I'm the wood tiger. Oh, you're the tiger. I'm the tiger. That's fucking cool. What are you? I'm the dragon. You are the dragon in the dragon new year? It's the fire horse new year. Oh, whatever. I'm a dragon.

SPEAKER_03 5:50

That's too much water.

SPEAKER_01 5:52

My year is gonna rock.

SPEAKER_00 5:54

You it looks like you have a pretty good horoscope. I I was really excited about this year. I really can't get out.

SPEAKER_01 6:00

I can't really get any better any better. I read something I occasionally unread it, and I read something. It was like in the psychic form, because I'm psychic now. I'm in a psychic form, and someone said, My psychic told me I was going to die in three months. Whoa. I'm like, You need a new psychic. What psychic would ever that's horrible for business? Wow. What would you tell them? And they were freaking out. And I'm like, I don't why would a psychic ever say that? But why would horoscope ever say something bad? And then you told me what the monkey said. It was terrible. It was terrible.

SPEAKER_02 6:33

Why would someone write that? It's beyond me. For those of you who are monkeys in the year of the fire dragon, we're gonna pray for you.

SPEAKER_01 6:41

This is not the time to be a monkey, man. And there's nothing you can do about it because it's linked to your birth year, right? So you can't undo it. We're gonna pray for you. We're gonna. What do you do? What do Chinese people do? They pray you red envelopes with money. We're gonna give you some$2 bills.

SPEAKER_02 6:56

Yeah, and they're two dollar bills.

SPEAKER_01 6:57

We're gonna give you some lucky two dollar bills. Write us, tell us your name, tell us what you're your birth and your zodiac and if you're a monkey. I'm not gonna give you a two-dollar bill. I'm lying. I'm probably gonna have intentions of giving you a two-dollar bill, but then I'm gonna be like, oh my god, this is cool. I'm gonna keep this two dollar bill. Because that's what the tiger would do.

SPEAKER_02 7:14

I've been trying to get back on my positive affirmations. Me too. I need to. I sent you one today that said, I wouldn't have to manage my anger if people couldn't learn to manage their stupidity. I love that.

SPEAKER_01 7:25

And then I told I wrote you and told you, speaking of stupidity, I was looking for my keys for 20 minutes. When I saw that, I was like, oh. I didn't actually respond. She may be a tiger, but she thinks like a monkey. My bad. We're making our way.

SPEAKER_02 7:45

It was a pretty good episode. It was called Think Outside the Box. Is that what it was called? Yeah. Were they in boxes? Yeah. Is that why it's a little on the nose, but okay. At least I like that they just don't call it episode nine. Like they make a minimal effort.

SPEAKER_01 8:05

They give like a title, a legitimate title. They remind us of they do the little recap.

SPEAKER_02 8:11

I know. And I love the recap so much. And we see Colton opening his envelope. Oh, that was a happy day.

SPEAKER_01 8:19

I was so happy. They remind us that Rob let Candace eliminate Colton.

SPEAKER_02 8:26

Rob is the devil.

SPEAKER_01 8:28

Rob is the devil. The devil in overalls.

SPEAKER_02 8:32

The thing is, he knew that her naming Colton would draw a direct line to her because he knew that the night before Colton's going around telling everybody, If I'm dead, it's Candace.

SPEAKER_01 8:42

Yeah. If I'm dead, Candace did it. But he also said, if I'm dead, Steven did it too. I think he threw out he threw out two names. If I'm dead, it's he told Johnny if I'm dead, it's Steven. If and he told everyone else, if I'm dead, it's Candace. And and it's so sad because Candace is gone. Candace is gone. She was so fun.

SPEAKER_02 8:59

And this is all Rob's fault. This is all Rob's. Do you remember the beginning of the turret? We're not gonna turn on each other.

SPEAKER_01 9:05

They always do, though. There was a promise. In all fairness, I don't think I've ever seen a season where the traders don't eventually turn on themselves. It's like the whole honor among thieves thing just does not exist in this world. He was so offended that Candace voted for him. He was, even though he voted for Lisa twice. Twice before. And then he said double standard. He is a double standard. He told Candace, he was like, I wanted to go, we could have gone to the inn together. But why would she trust that when you just yeah turned turned on this person? And then so sexy rob, he's sort of evil. More than sorta, but he's playing a good game. He's playing a good game. He banished another one of his fit fellow traders, and he had to choose someone else to align with. He had to choose another trader.

SPEAKER_02 9:53

This was great.

SPEAKER_01 9:54

And he either gave him ultimatum. He's either you become a trader with me or you're dead. And not surprising, he choose a dude. Yeah. As per Even when he went through all the people that he could choose, I think it was mostly men. It was just men. He was like, can't choose her. She's on a rag. Gotta choose men. He was like the women in the turret, they sink up and it's just a nightmare. So he picked Eric. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:17

And Eric is coming down the stairs and he's I can't be a traitor. I can't. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 10:22

I just can't. I'm just gonna go home with I'm gonna start in this game the way I played it as a fateful.

SPEAKER_02 10:27

But it's either that you accept to be a traitor or you just go home. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:31

Either way, and I feel like either way you could, either way you could end up dead. Either way you could end up, you don't know how it's gonna play off. It doesn't matter if you want to keep playing the game or not. And then they met face to face and then big reveal. Big reveal. Rob takes off his hood and Eric, I don't know, has an orgasm. I don't know what happened. Eric just started convulsing.

SPEAKER_02 10:49

It was literally the last person that he would have thought was under the cape, and he was laughing maniacally.

SPEAKER_01 10:55

I bet if it was anyone else, he would have said no.

SPEAKER_02 10:58

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

But they're all so in love with sexy Rob. They just all, he's a golden boy. They all want to align with sexy Rob. So I think that was uh the turning point.

SPEAKER_02 11:09

He said, I feel crazy because he really did not see any potential for Rob having been the traitor.

SPEAKER_01 11:15

I don't understand why they're not, why none of them are seeing this. This is bizarre.

SPEAKER_02 11:21

And then Rob's gonna convince him we can win this game together.

SPEAKER_01 11:24

Yeah, join me or go home. Yes. And Eric says, I need a helmet and an adult diaper because I'm about to ship my pants. My head is about to explode.

SPEAKER_02 11:37

It was so funny.

SPEAKER_01 11:38

He Eric has is really good with the one liner. It's dressing him out, it's dressing him out because some people are meant to be traitors and some people are Eric. I don't, he's not cut out for this.

SPEAKER_02 11:48

He's not cut out for it. And I think that he knows that too. He said, I'm the oldest child. I always give I sacrifice my happiness for others. Yeah. So I was like, Oh, this isn't gonna turn out well. This is not, despite Rob making another promise. It's you and me to the end.

SPEAKER_00 12:03

Do you remember this movie Chucky? Oh, yeah. And here we go, we're friends to the end. Then you would try to kill them. I think that's sexy Rob is a human Chucky. We only have three more roundtables. Yes. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 12:16

This is really like cutting down to the wire. But I guess so. Eric just says, yeah. Yeah. It's on the robe. That's it. And I feel like it's probably the smartest decision he's made this whole entire game. Yeah. He's gonna use his crack hearing, his 99% hearing to help him and Rob to the very end. And they also must now eliminate someone.

SPEAKER_02 12:38

Immediately. And Eric's, what? What?

SPEAKER_04 12:41

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_02 12:42

I have to eliminate someone. Which gives Rob so much power. It does, because it's all nude. So they're trying to decide who they're gonna murder. They're thinking either Natalie, Durinda, or Steven. Yes. And Rob's telling him choosing a random person in the past has really worked out.

SPEAKER_01 13:00

Yeah, because no one's connected to them. And I feel like right now, coming into this, no one is thinking about Eric. So he could do whatever he wants to and get away with it. Um it's breakfast time. It is breakfast time. That table's shrinking. It is shrinking, but it's still not enough salmon. There's never gonna be enough salmon to feed these hungry people. He came in looking like Sherlock Holmes.

SPEAKER_02 13:23

Which one is Mark? And you know what? I was thinking about this. He everybody thinks that he has this fabulous curly long hair. It's beautiful. Our girls have curly long hair. They do. And sometimes he's got a little frizz going on. He does. He does. Our girls could teach him a lesson or two. Yeah, he does. He needs a trim. The girls have it down. They're 14 years old and they've mastered the curl. Oh, our girls. Yeah, our girls.

SPEAKER_01 13:46

Oh, I thought you meant like Serena. No, excuse me.

SPEAKER_02 13:49

Our children. Our children, yeah, yeah. Both have very curly. He really was looking like the role of the traitor, and I thought that made him look suspicious.

SPEAKER_01 13:56

It did. It was basically Christian, Kristen, Rob, and Mark. They're the first ones through the door. And maybe the salmon hog. Oh. Because they all went for the salmon, but no one was like, oh, wait, save me a salmon anymore.

SPEAKER_02 14:13

And now there's only half the amount of people. There's enough for everybody. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01 14:17

But remember, half of those people would go without salmon. So now maybe it's just enough to go around. They chat and they're all of a sudden on Johnny.

SPEAKER_02 14:24

Man. And I guess Candace did bring up Johnny for the shield challenge when we were going to do the artwork. And she's like, Johnny should be have a chance to win the shield. Yeah. And they all thought that was very suspect.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

But why? I guess when you have nothing to go on, you go on anything you can get. Yes. And she was just really trying to be nice. Yeah. Next, Tara and Eric walk in. Eric, man. Eric is freaking out. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:47

Eric was freaking out, and it looked like he was freaking out.

SPEAKER_01 14:50

He was like, I'm stress eating. Tara defends Johnny right off the bat. Yeah. Because they work together. Mora and sexy Rob work together. Yes. And Johnny and Mora pretend to care that Candace is gone. For one moment, they're like, oh, I miss Candace. Oh no. And guess what? Mora's Scottish accent came back.

SPEAKER_02 15:13

That accent, I just am trying not to think about it.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

It just comes and goes. Now that you've pointed it out, I can't unhear it. I can't. I'm like, oh now she's Scottish. It really, it really does.

SPEAKER_02 15:22

Is she Irish or Scottish? I think that she's supposed to be Scottish.

SPEAKER_00 15:25

She's supposed to be. She's really from Jersey. And this is all a great, maybe she's like sexy more, is a real mastermind here.

SPEAKER_02 15:34

Eric was had this philosophy that he's not gonna say anything. I can't mess up if I just keep my mouth shut. He kind of has been pretty quiet all along. Yes, but yeah. But he was just putting like a beacon on himself.

SPEAKER_01 15:47

Yeah, yeah. He was stuffing croissants in his mouth. Anything not to really participate. And Johnny does damage control.

SPEAKER_02 15:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:54

Because he and Candace were really close. Yeah. So he was like, he feels like he feels used.

SPEAKER_02 15:59

I wasn't sure if this was a good thing to do or a bad thing to do because I guess he does feel like he has to defend himself. Yeah. But at the same time, it pointed out why it made him look like he was aligned with Candace.

SPEAKER_01 16:10

Yeah, he reminded them. You're right. He reminded me. He was like, I feel you. But you we saw their little interactions. They were close. And he that's the point. Moore's really close to sexy Rob. Yeah. And he he is a traitor too. You don't know.

SPEAKER_02 16:23

You just don't know. And then because they've all kind of said this along the way. Why am I still here? They feel like if I'm still here, maybe I have somebody in the turret protecting me. Protecting me.

SPEAKER_01 16:32

And the gang, they still suspect him because he twerked for Candace. Yeah, he did it good too. He went all the way down on the ground. Wow, girl. He was slapping it, smacking it, and he had it in heels. I can't even wear heels, Christine. So then the next time the door and they all jump.

SPEAKER_02 16:47

And there's only Dorinda, Natalie, and Steven missing. Yes. So one of them. They're like, oh my gosh, we're really, our numbers are dwindling.

SPEAKER_01 16:54

Yes. So next in the door is Natalie Stephen. Dorinda's gone. Dorinda's gone. She didn't really serve any purpose anyway.

SPEAKER_02 17:01

Yeah. I mean, she the first time she was on, she was eliminated the first episode. She could have been eliminated the first episode here too.

SPEAKER_01 17:08

And it would have been about it changed nothing. I feel like maybe Candace was protecting her in the tour. Yeah, I think so too. Like the or maybe Lisa was protecting her. But now the housewives are gone. Yeah. Anything goes.

SPEAKER_02 17:21

So when she went to open her envelope, did you see that black dress she was dressed in? It was like a black suit dress with sequence of the colour. Did you love it? She looked really good.

SPEAKER_01 17:29

No, why was she saving that? She should have Dorinda looks good. She should have let with that. So they flashback to Rob and Eric killing Dorinda. Yep. And she seems like a good sport about it. She did. She's got that bluestone manner to return to. She does. She does. She's she's finally. And then Rob said in the tour, he was like, I love me some Dorinda. Or did he say that at the breakfast table? I love it.

SPEAKER_02 17:49

He said that about all the older women.

SPEAKER_01 17:50

He does. Women are to be seen.

SPEAKER_02 17:52

He said that about the Swifty mama.

SPEAKER_01 17:54

He did. He did say that about her. You think there's something there? I think deep down inside, if you're not his mother, if you're not appropriate age, he resents you deeply. Alan, who's Alan? Is Alan? Oh, Alan Cummings! Alan has his white and blue, shimmery like suit on.

SPEAKER_02 18:13

Yeah. I was thinking it was kind of ill-fitting in a weird way.

SPEAKER_01 18:17

It was. Look, he's sewing all of his own clothes. He has 24 hours. He's on a project run race schedule to sew his own clothes for the next day. Alas, Durinda. Yes. The traders did Recinda. Oh, that was clever. And then he throws a picture down and he goes, thoughts and prayers. I'm like, oh my God, he's so funny. You think he stays up all night and sews? I think he stays up all night coming up with those quips. I think that while he's sewing, he's thinking, he's like doing double duty. Yeah. What? Yeah. And also you say duty. He's doing double duty. So Natalie's eyeing Steven. She thinks he's acting fake. Yeah. Oh my gosh. She said that it was inauthentic. We love that word. Inauthentic. There's a whole like season of Farmer Went to Wife for Everything was be authentic, unauthentic. And then it went away. Yes. I don't know. Just like emotional intelligence was a thing for a moment. And then that went away. It's true. They all pair off. Yeah. And Mark, Steven, and Eric, they're thinking all about Johnny. The boys pair off. It's wild that they have their sights set on him. It is wild. It just because they have their eyes set on him because he was close with Candace. But they don't have their eyes set on sexy Rob because Candace called him out twice. So it's weird how they decide to kind of, and I know Rob is like leading the charge on this, so they're gonna follow him. But it's weird that's not hitting them. But him twerking for Candace is a red flag.

SPEAKER_02 19:48

It's weird. I also came to a realization that it was no coincidence that Johnny and Tara frequently reference their gymnastics, Olympian careers. They're ice skating. And how much is a kid? That's the thing, is it's time for Olympics. They're the Olympic spokespeople. Oh yes, they are. I think this was a big ad for the Olympics.

SPEAKER_01 20:09

I think you're right. It's some cross promotions. I didn't see that for sure. Between all of the Olympics, Olympics, Olympics, you're right. We see commercials, the Taco Bell commercials, the you said the mattress commercials that are Terra, Terra's and so maybe this is all some big cross promotion. You're probably onto something. It was. And Peacock, I think they hosted the Olympics. You're right. Why didn't they have any curling stars in this house? Oh, agree. The curling people are the real stars of the winter Olympics. Oh, excuse me. So Tara and Johnny, they chat and she tells him that she's defending him. Yes. They are on Steven, and Candace wanted to chat with Steven alone. When Candace and Steven were chatting, and she walked into the room and they were like, Can we have a moment or something like that? And she was like, That was sort of suspicious. It was kind of suspicious. It was kind of suspicious.

SPEAKER_02 20:57

But then the whole time, everybody's pairing off having private conversations.

SPEAKER_01 21:01

True, too. Oh my gosh. We have to get on the show, Christine. Yeah. Tara says she'll do anything for Johnny.

SPEAKER_04 21:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:08

She tells us that. Yes. Okay, good. So like she's like, everyone.

SPEAKER_02 21:13

Yeah. And she said he's my best friend. She's, I would do anything for him.

SPEAKER_01 21:17

Except. We'll get into it. Whatever. We'll get into it later. Eric and Mora and Rob chat now.

SPEAKER_02 21:23

It was so funny that okay, Eric doesn't know that he's lying on the sofa with a crop top and he looks so relaxed. And Eric is looking at him like, how is he so relaxed? He's sweating bullets. And he's not getting how is Rob just like how is he doing this? He's a psychopath. That's how. And he does wear all of these crop top, no sleeveless shirts, and it is kind of short.

SPEAKER_01 21:46

It is to provide a distraction. I think it is no one can think with his gorgeousness in a room, he's beautiful to the point of distraction. He knows it. So Rob is, he says, Oh, Eric says Rob is an. Eagle soaring across the sky. He does have these one-liners. You're right. He does. And Tara and Kristen. This was funny. This was funny. She tells, why did I say she tells her that it's Steven and Kristen thinks Kristen thinks it's Tara. Yeah. She literally is. I think it's you. Tara's, what me? I love how she's like putting it out there, but why would you take risks telling the traitor you think it's them? Yeah, true. It's not the best gameplay. And they kind of have been a little bit an alliance. Yeah, yeah, I could see that. But again, I guess it we don't know. Everything makes sense. But I don't think t Tara has I don't think Tara's capable of being a traitor. Are you nothing against her personally, but she's just been spazzing out this whole time. Can you still say spazzing? You can. She's just she has no, she's a chicken with its head cut off. She has no idea what's going on.

SPEAKER_02 22:52

She keeps saying that she's following her gut filling. She should never ever follow her. Never don't follow your gut. She hasn't been right a single time. Never. She's never been right. And she's very easily influenced to change her opinion. Very easily influenced. Oh Steven, okay, maybe it is Stephen. But is it time for a challenge? But also Kristen's always wrong, too. That's true. I don't think she's very analytical, it seems like.

SPEAKER_01 23:16

It is, and she's still always wrong. Because remember, she thought for sure it was Colton before Colton lit her in the car on the way to the mission. Yeah. Johnny has that flawless skin. Wow. I want to know what his foundation is. I don't think it's natural. I think it is foundation. Yeah, I think it's a good idea. But he figured it out. It's hard to match our color. He's figured it out. Johnny tries to defend himself in the car, but he says he's not good at it, and he's not good at it. No. Everyone thinks he's a traitor. He says he has nothing to lose, and that's empowering for him.

SPEAKER_02 23:46

Yeah, but I think that when you're having the conversation with him, it's easy to see that he really does feel defeated.

SPEAKER_01 23:53

He does. He reminded me, remember Aran? Yes. When they just kept voting Ron out in voting way.

SPEAKER_02 23:58

He kind of has that energy. Like, how can you not read that?

SPEAKER_01 24:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:02

There's no pretending that.

SPEAKER_01 24:03

There's no pretending, but I they for them they can't read it. They would say that it's performative. And Natalie would say he's faking it or whatever. They arrive at that field full of boxes. Yes. Did you see all the bugs flying around? It was pretty gross. It was so disgusting. I don't know. I couldn't do it. They're like in a marsh or something. I don't know where they were. It was like a nightmare scene. Yes. And they're in the field, and there's in nine boxes, and each of these big boxes are big enough to fit one adult mill.

SPEAKER_02 24:33

Did you also see the dog had a box? Oh, the dog had a box. The dog and the dog is always there. He never barks. That's a good dog. He's such a good boy. He's the opposite of a puppy. My puppy would bark. They also have lights in the box, which I was like, That's cool. Wow.

SPEAKER_01 24:49

If they have to get in the box, I guess. What is a box theme? Well, I think like the next, is it the end of this episode? So we see more boxes. Yeah. So you think it was all tied in together?

SPEAKER_02 24:58

The theme of the episode is think outside the box.

SPEAKER_00 25:00

Oh snap. You said that. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 25:08

Oh my gosh. Okay. This is why I'm I if I wasn't like tequila shots in, maybe. Oh my gosh. What ensues is a game that is like a combination of a jack and a box in a newlywed game. Oh, yeah. Is that clever? Everyone's ask a question. And inside the box, they have a selected answer. They ask a question about their fellow players. And whoever, what is it? Whoever matches the most answering.

SPEAKER_02 25:38

They have to match their answers to those given by the traders to add money to the pot. But the thing is that the traders have not yes yet given their answers. Yeah. So how are they going to do this, Christine? After our amazing host, Alan Cumming, in his shiny suit, asks the question, the traders will sneak out of their box and answer the questions together right in front of everyone. Very risky.

SPEAKER_01 26:01

This is very risky. I don't know. Maybe it's not very risky.

SPEAKER_02 26:04

I don't know what the what how the boxes are soundproof. Yes, then they all return to the boxes and then he tells them to open it and they all pop up together. Uh-huh. But it was noisy. Eric was freaking out. His hinges are creaking, his shoes are squeaking. Yes. I was hoping that Eric would trip because he would go, ah!

SPEAKER_01 26:22

And everybody had their ear to the side of the box. That's Eric screaming. Oh my gosh. And for every it was again very clever. Sexy Rob and Eric decide to just pick one person.

SPEAKER_02 26:34

They're so awesome. I actually loved this. So smart. So the first question was who did the traders think would be the most useful to them? And they decide to vote Tara. Tara. Really, I'll say Rob decided. Yeah, it's not. It's not Eric. It's not Eric. It's sexy Rob.

SPEAKER_01 26:50

It's sexy Rob all the way. Which was, I guess, which was smart. Yeah. Out of and everyone, their answers was not consistent with that.

SPEAKER_02 26:59

No, it was pretty across the board. There were so many options. Yeah. I think only two people actually voted for Tara. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:05

Yeah. Yeah. And who do the trayer, next question was who do the trayers think? I said Trey As. Who do the Trey As think is most manipulative? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:15

And they're like, we're going to just put Tara for every answer. Yes. Yes. I would have chosen Natalie. Yeah. And I think that everyone else thought that they would have chosen Natalie as well. Yeah. Because when they opened the boxes, there was a bunch of Natalie answers. Natalie answers. In fact, there were zero who voted for Tara. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:33

So they made no money. They know no money. And everybody has Tara again. Tara? What's going on? They're seeing the pattern here.

SPEAKER_02 27:39

Ironically, Rob is the most manipulative, but Natalie was butthurt that everybody thought that she was. Yeah. Like that her name showed up so frequently.

SPEAKER_01 27:49

Who do they think? Wait, the next question was who do they think doesn't deserve a place in a final?

SPEAKER_02 27:53

And Tara's, I see the pattern. I know they're gonna say my name. I'm not gonna play their game. I'm not gonna write down my own name to say that I don't deserve to be in the finale. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 28:02

And five players rightly, correctly chose Mora. Yes. Nothing. She does nothing. She sucks at being a traitor. So I'm like, good. And I actually think that she knows she's bad at it. She does. She says something bad at it. She's not even good at the missions. She really brings nothing to the table. But this made Kristen think that Tara's a trader.

SPEAKER_02 28:25

She's doing a mind fuck on us. It's gotta be her.

SPEAKER_00 28:28

This is what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 28:29

Everyone keeps saying Kristen is so smart. She's never right. So who would make the best trader? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:37

And Natalie's like everybody just put Tara's name. They're gonna they're gonna put Tara. Yeah. Everybody's gonna put Tara's name. They're like, yeah, we're gonna do that. Yeah. But not Johnny.

SPEAKER_01 28:46

No, he will never write Tara's name down. And not Tara. And she will never write her own name down. Not to the bitter end.

SPEAKER_02 28:54

But that made it even more suspicious.

SPEAKER_01 28:56

It doesn't really, because it behooves the trader to get as much money. For them not wanting the money, that's not a trader thing at all.

SPEAKER_02 29:05

But even Rob said it. It's more important to create chaos and stay in the game and stay a secret than to make money. There's a balance that you have to make. And this really created a lot of chaos. It did create a lot of chaos. It was kind of smart.

SPEAKER_01 29:18

Yeah, it was very smart. But I don't think anyone really thought it was Tara. They once they did it a several times, they said, Oh, this is just a pattern. Isn't these are questions aren't really necessarily connected to Tara?

SPEAKER_02 29:28

They only added$5,500 to the pot out of a possible 18,000. Even Alan Cummings is, you guys suck.

SPEAKER_01 29:34

You guys really suck at this. They have to predict which four players will be on the trader short list for murder.

SPEAKER_02 29:42

I was like, OMG.

SPEAKER_01 29:43

I know.

SPEAKER_02 29:44

And even the traders are like, we gotta choose that right now. Yeah. And Eric's, I'm just a baby trader. On the graph of traders, I'm on the very low end of the scale. And he just essentially gives all power to Rob.

SPEAKER_01 29:58

Which is what you want when you're a trader. Another, see, the other the housewives challenged him. Even Rob's like, I got this. Eric is a doormat. And I think now I'm seeing I'm thinking that's why he chose him. He's a doormat.

SPEAKER_02 30:10

Yeah. And Rob thinks that everyone will assume that at least one trader is on the list, so they decide not to put either of themselves. Which is that smart? I guess it is. I guess it's so chaotic right now. So chaotic. Yeah. It just creates more chaos. Yes. And Alan tells him if your li doesn't lift, then you're on the short list. Yeah, because they lock them in the box. Oh my God.

SPEAKER_01 30:29

And it's Tara, Johnny, Kristen, and Natalie. Yeah. Are locked in. And they try to open their boxes, but it's sealed and it sealed their fates.

SPEAKER_02 30:39

And I said, this was kind of a mind fuck. I didn't want to love this, but I really did. I kind of liked it too.

SPEAKER_01 30:45

I kind of like it too. Rob immediately suggests to Steven that perhaps there's a traitor inside one of these boxes trying to kind of throw them off the track. And he says, it has to be Johnny.

SPEAKER_02 30:56

And this confirmed for Mora. It's Johnny.

SPEAKER_01 30:59

Mora doesn't need confirmation. She just parrots whatever Rob says. It's those overalls, man. Later, as the group then debates who to vote for at the roundtable banishment. Half of them seem to be pursuing Johnny. Yeah. Who seems basically and mentally just drained. He's just drained. He's like, whatever.

SPEAKER_02 31:20

Poor guy.

SPEAKER_01 31:21

I think the only reason he was still fighting to say and it was probably for Tara at this point.

SPEAKER_02 31:25

Even in the car, Natalie was like, I don't think it's Johnny. She's his body language is just completely defeated.

SPEAKER_01 31:33

Yes. She thinks it's Steven. Yeah. The group of safe players they eat their salads. Yeah. And they decide it's Johnny and Tara, which is so dumb. Why would both of the traders put themselves in the box? In the box.

SPEAKER_02 31:50

That's just insane. Isn't it insane? It's pretty insane. Because then but then I guess that it would make such a narrow only two people that they could choose to eliminate. If they were actually the traitors.

SPEAKER_01 32:03

Half of the people in the box are traders? Yeah. It doesn't make any sense. And I guess they're not thinking logically at this point. And if it is Johnny, if Johnny is a trader, why would he choose Tara? I want whatever psychedelic these people are on because they are high as hell. The middle gymnastics is insane. This is the hilarious thing about the season is that Johnny and Tara have been trying to go full. Oh, I don't know her. Right. Oh, I don't know him. We're not friends. We just passed the Olympics together. I've never met her before.

SPEAKER_02 32:38

And an 11-year career as ice skaters.

SPEAKER_01 32:41

Yes, together, but we don't know each other. But the fact that they are two of the most famous figure skaters in the world didn't really even tip anyone off. This is how bad these people are.

SPEAKER_02 32:51

It's really strange. Yeah. It really is. Because straight away everybody knew just the housewives by affiliation, whatever their personal relationships were, they're housewives. They're housewives. They're alliance. That's a dangerous thing.

SPEAKER_01 33:03

That is an alliance. The gamers. The gamers, exactly. Even no one's gonna say it, but Mora and Rob, Love Island, whatever people. Yeah. I think if anyone was only was alone, was Kristen and Mark. Mark. Yeah. I guess an Eric. Yeah. What is Eric? He's a producer. Yeah. Yeah. With those magic ears. Magic ears. I think the ears he was referring to are Mickey Mouse ears that he hangs in his closet, not his ears.

SPEAKER_02 33:29

Now that Natalie has made it clear that she's gunning for Steven, Rob's like, maybe we should do that and keep Johnny around because Johnny's still a huge suspect and target. And then they have a couple of options for banishing the next night. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:42

Which isn't, I guess, a which isn't a bad thing. Not a bad thing. That's kind of smart, actually. Oh, I'm at the brown table. Are you at the brown table?

SPEAKER_02 33:49

Yeah, I think so too. Oh, Kristen says, I'm gonna put Tara because she told Tara that morning that she suspected her. Yeah. And then it's just all of a sudden a coincidence that she's in the box. So she's thinks that Tara retaliated against her for voicing her opinion that she's a traitor. Oh she's like, no matter what, I'm gonna write Tara's.

SPEAKER_01 34:08

You know what? These people are the most narcissistic people I've ever everyone thinks they're personally being targeted every single time. I'm too much of a threat. Oh, I said so and so's name. I so they're all just the whole house full of narcissists, I believe.

SPEAKER_02 34:23

I did not understand Tara and Johnny's agreement to they're like, we're gonna go into round table and let everybody know we're best friends. Whatever I think, you think. This was probably the I'm not gonna say the dumbest. It was the dumbest.

SPEAKER_00 34:39

Wait a minute, what? Dumber. I've seen dumber, but this was pretty spectacularly dumb.

SPEAKER_01 34:44

And I kept trying to like, I'm like, there has to be a reasonable explanation for this. Do you think that they said that? So their vote counts as two. They're stronger as a team. If you vote her out, then I'm coming for you. If a vote for someone is gonna be us together, we're voting it. It's Rob with his double vote, his dagger.

SPEAKER_02 35:02

Man, I don't know. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. I just that may not be true. And I was so confusing. Maybe it was that she's I know Johnny so well. And that was how they tried to spin it. Yeah. He's my BFF. If he was the traitor, I would know. She went in promising that he's not the traitor. He's not the traitor, but she doesn't really know.

SPEAKER_01 35:21

And Mara's like, how do you know that? How do you know that? Yeah. Smart thing Mara says. The only smart thing, and I'm sure Rob was like, Ask her how she knows that. Hey Mara. There's no way she came up with that on her own. More is immediately suspicious. Yeah. And I think rightfully so now. And Tara's like, I s I swear I know this person. He is a faithful. And but they already suspect Tara too. So her word really is meaningless at this point.

SPEAKER_02 35:46

And I think that it even put more suspicion on both of them. Yeah. Whoever had a suspicion for Johnny maybe wasn't full on with Tara, but now they're like, wait a minute. Yeah, you lied this whole time. Yes. And that's the thing, is that it was a dishonesty that was revealed.

SPEAKER_01 36:01

Yeah, but honestly, like that's the nature of the game, though, right? Everyone's keeping something from somebody. I think that's the nature of the game. I just don't think know why they did it. There's and someone said they're showing us they've been keeping secrets this whole game. Oh, it's Rob, sexy Rob said that. Um, but for him, it's not a bad thing. He does it every game. So while there are plenty of heat on both Johnny and Tara, but Johnny sort of defends himself. Yeah, very low-key.

SPEAKER_02 36:26

Very low-key.

SPEAKER_01 36:27

He just felt defeated.

SPEAKER_02 36:28

He even said, I'm not gonna say I'm not a traitor. I'm so confident I'm not a traitor. I don't even have to say that I'm not a traitor. Yeah, you do.

SPEAKER_01 36:34

You think because a traitor would say I'm not a traitor. Yeah. But so with a faithful, I don't, I agree with him. I'm not gonna even dignify the response. You do what you want to do. A traitor can still say I'm a faithful. A trader can still say I'm not a traitor. So I'm with you, Johnny. Natalie throws out Steven's name as a possible trader. Um Steven does defend himself, and she's really persuasive, though.

SPEAKER_02 36:56

She really is very persuasive. I don't know what she's doing. And I also thought it's better if you're gonna have your name brought up, maybe even voluntarily bring it up in the beginning of the round table.

SPEAKER_01 37:06

Yes, you don't want to be the last name in their heads.

SPEAKER_02 37:10

That's for true. That's for sure. Man, and he says that Candace was hunting for information because they're like, why were you talking to Candace? And he's like, everybody talk to everybody.

SPEAKER_01 37:19

Yeah, exactly. That that's the game. And then Tara, of course, jumps in the bandwagon because she's trying to protect Johnny. She's trying to protect herself. Yes. And then she said, I think it was, I think it was Tara who said it was weird that Lisa gave him her gold. Yes. And then everyone was like, Oh, yeah, the gold. Yeah, yeah. Right. But I feel like Tara and Johnny just wanted to save their own skins. It didn't really make any sense, but it's vote time. It is vote time, and we've also still got the power of the dagger out there. It's still floating around there. And the dagger, of course, is Rob, sexy Rob has it, and he gives them the power to vote twice.

SPEAKER_02 37:54

But essentially when Rob holds his dagger close to his dagger.

SPEAKER_01 38:04

Look at you. You're really coming into your perverted own. I love to see it. They vote.

SPEAKER_02 38:11

Yeah. And it was also kind of weird because Natalie was loud whispering to Rob, aren't you gonna use the dagger? She kind of just told the whole table you had the dagger.

SPEAKER_01 38:20

And then Rob goes, Yeah, I have the dagger. I do have the dagger. It was out there now, right? Yeah. And at this point, she's she still thinks her and Rob are buds. Right. So Tara votes for Steven. Yep. And of course, Steven and Mara, they vote for Johnny.

SPEAKER_02 38:35

Yeah. But Eric, he voted for Steven, and Johnny voted for Steven. He's gonna always stick with the whatever Tara does. And Kristen, an entrance of being consistent.

SPEAKER_01 38:46

Consistence is very important for these people. It's Tara.

SPEAKER_02 38:49

But it was the night for Steven because Natalie went that way too. Yeah. And Rob too. Mark for Tara. Tara tells everybody. Rob tells everybody I came here with every intention to vote for Johnny, but this was really a very persuasive argument.

SPEAKER_01 39:03

Switched. I'm gonna vote for Steven too. And then Mark voted for Tara. Yes. And Tara got more votes than Johnny, which was really interesting. Yes. Because everyone was on the interesting, actually. Everyone was on Johnny when he started. And I think Tara talked herself into a hole. And Steven is banished. Yeah. Which is wild. Tara, you gotta say that. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 39:23

So he goes into the circle of truth. Alan tells him, Before you leave the castle, tell us, are you a faithful or a traitor?

SPEAKER_01 39:30

Oh, nice! You got the title. And then so Steven goes, I'm a faithful and you blew it. That's it. I'd be like, You're a motherfucker, you're a bitch, you smell like salmon all the time. I wouldn't want to off on them. Yeah, he they keep it classy.

SPEAKER_02 39:46

Yeah, it was classy. He held his composure. We gotta get on the show, Christine. I would love to do the show. You want to apply? We can. We can just apply as a pair. What will our families do without us? We could come home and the house would be burned down. But we will have what? A gigantic pot to rebuild. If we stuck our husbands together with the kids, do you think that they could maintain one house?

SPEAKER_01 40:07

Yeah. It'd be a great sitcom. That's the show.

SPEAKER_00 40:11

It was like it's like the odd couple categories of the traders. We put some cameras up around this joint.

SPEAKER_02 40:18

It would be great. Well, that table was pretty devastated. They were like, I think Mark flicked his whole card off.

SPEAKER_01 40:26

Yes. And Mara goes, Well done for the chaos. I'm still over her. Yeah. She doesn't give anything, she doesn't add anything to the table except snide comments. Natalie feels terrible. And it's telling that the first person she apologized to is Rob. Unbelievable. And Eric. She goes straight to the traders and apologized for sending Steven home. I'm like, this is bull crap.

SPEAKER_02 40:49

And he points out, he's like, it's so obvious that it was so stupid for Johnny and Tara to come out and tell everybody that they're BFFs. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:56

And I just I hate how everyone goes to Rob and Eric for forgiveness and validation. It's wild how like how much power Rob has hold holds over them. He's hot. And in the past season, we had men in similar roles, though. I remember Pilot Pete from The Bachelor, Dylan Efron. Interesting. They're good looking. Yeah. White males. Right. They always kind of gravitate to the same kind of a leaders. I'm thinking maybe next season they should try something new. Me and you, Christine. Yeah. So we'll be the leaders.

SPEAKER_02 41:28

We'll never disclose our alliance. Never. We would make not make the same mistake that Tara and Johnny. For sure. But people would be like, why are you guys spooning on the couch?

SPEAKER_01 41:38

Well, that's just that you didn't know each other. That's kind of weird. Oh, but yeah. When everyone reconvenes to discuss the results of the round table. I loved this. Kristen starts like interrogating.

SPEAKER_02 41:50

She is smart. That's the thing. She is she? I feel like she's not. This is like the first thing she said that was correct. Yeah, but she does, she's more observant than a lot of people. She picks up on a lot of stuff more than other people. But it hasn't served anyone. She voted for Tara, for heaven's sake.

SPEAKER_01 42:06

It's never, this is the first time in this whole game she's got it.

SPEAKER_02 42:10

She's Eric, you were so quiet at the table tonight. Why didn't you say anything? I think he didn't speak a word. He didn't say anything.

SPEAKER_01 42:17

But honestly, like, he's not a very talkative person anyway. Red flag. But she's right.

SPEAKER_02 42:27

And I'm like, finally, she's on to Eric. But Eric also had a pretty poor defense for himself. He's stummering over his look at Rob, Rob.

SPEAKER_01 42:39

Eric declares that he was just blindsided and confused, but Kristen isn't buying it. No. Up until now, Kristen has been, I don't know, I don't even. You said she's observant.

SPEAKER_02 42:50

She was funny because she says her gut is the only thing she can go on. And I was like, if her gut has been onto anything this whole game, it's because she's that master chef.

SPEAKER_01 42:59

Oh, she is. She knows guts. Yeah. Oh, she does. It was just her new season, it is just starting. Or I just started watching it. Like once one show goes off, and then comes together. She's a task master on there, man. She knows her stuff. She she says to Mark and Rob, if I'm murdered tomorrow, just look at Eric. Yes. Why would you say that to Rob? But she doesn't know Rob. That's the thing. Everybody trusts Rob. Oh my gosh. Remember, there were four people in the short list who were locked in that box. That's true. That's right. And so they're summoned to the castle's dungeon. Yes. Where they have to crank this.

SPEAKER_02 43:33

So they all receive a letter. This is the thing. Because when you go and receive a letter, you know you're eliminated. Yes. But all of their letters told them that they have to go to the dungeon. Yeah. Holy crap.

SPEAKER_01 43:42

Super scary. Super scary. Um, and then there's a jack in a box. And if I guess the gist of the game is if you crank the jack in a box and a mini trader pops out, then you've been mad.

SPEAKER_02 43:53

I love how Alan says the shortlist players will be woken from their slumber and meet a fate of the jack in the box. The jack in a box. The time for the lid will close on one player forever. Oh, nice. Christine, you're really leaning into those R's. I love that. Ellen Cummings.

SPEAKER_01 44:10

But alas, we have to wait till next week.

SPEAKER_02 44:12

Oh my gosh. And I'm like, damn it, that's the end. I know. That's what I wrote. Imagine you're in the dungeon of this creepy castle, and a jack in the box is scary anyway. It is in your in your in the light of the house, cranking that thing. You know it's gonna pop if you're like anticipating it. Yes, and you know me.

SPEAKER_01 44:30

I don't like popping. I like if a balloon pops, I hit the ground. Michelle will not open the biscuits. I will not. The pills, because it pops, and I'm like, oh, what was that? And so they they're gonna have to turn a hand a handle.

SPEAKER_02 44:46

They showed all these previews and it looked like Johnny was shocked, like he like jumped. You know what? That's why I don't give hand jobs. Oh my because you don't know when that thing's gonna pop off. Wow. I just feel clear. I do not believe that to be true.

SPEAKER_00 45:00

Of course not. Anyone who's ever met me knows that's not true. Um but I can't wait to see what happens next week.

SPEAKER_01 45:08

Oh my god. Who do you want to go home? Anyone you want to go home out of this bunch?

SPEAKER_02 45:13

Tara, Johnny. I will say that just because Mark has been so under the radar and you forget who that is every week, would we really miss him? Probably not. I forgot he was one of the four just now. I said, Johnny, Tara, I keep forgetting about him instantly. I really do like Johnny and Tara. I love the Olympics. I grew up watching the Olympics. I really super duper love the ice skating. I don't love that they came out though, this episode. This isn't like that either. So it was kind of rubbing me a little bit wrong, but I don't want to see them go home. I would love to see Rob go home, but that's not gonna happen. Oh no. You know, they're onto him though, kinda. No one's even said his name yet.

SPEAKER_01 45:53

No one said his name yet. Yeah, and they're on to him by way of Eric, maybe?

SPEAKER_02 45:58

Maybe they can get there. Even by just the show of the vote, more is the one who doesn't deserve to be there. Moore does not deserve to be there. But she's not up for elimination.

SPEAKER_01 46:08

But she's the one who I would really think should go home. I agree. I agree. I hope I hope she goes home very soon. Because I don't know how this things would have to play out for her to win. But if she won, I would be pissed.

SPEAKER_02 46:21

Because she's done nothing. The only thing that might make me more mad than her winning is Rob winning.

SPEAKER_01 46:27

Uh, yeah. But I feel like Rob is working for it though. Yeah. The only thing Mara brings is like a really sharp hat game. When he her hats are wow.

SPEAKER_02 46:39

If you can win based on hats, then she should definitely win. Wow. Her hats are awesome. I mean, even a few episodes ago when Rob was playing chess with Tara over who they were gonna name for the elimination. With Lisa, he has made this a game of chess. He has made this game. He has made purposeful decisions along the way. It's not just been a coincidence or accident that he's gotten to where he is. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 47:00

So he is a smart player. He is a smart player. I feel like when everyone goes to bed, he's up thinking. Yeah. Who am I gonna do if I do this, then this will happen if I do. And I think a lot of people are like emotional players. Yeah. And he's just really methodically thinking about this.

SPEAKER_02 47:15

Because at some point early on, I did think that he was just all good looks and no brain. Yeah, his name is sexy rob for a reason. I guess he's still sexy. But I do think that there is a brain there too.

SPEAKER_01 47:25

There is a brain, or very big balls, either or.

SPEAKER_02 47:29

Can it not be both? I guess I don't think it can, Christine. That's just not how things work out. When you go through the line in heaven, you either have to choose the big ball line or the brain line.

SPEAKER_01 47:38

Basically, you can't have you can't have three bulbous items on your body. It has to be it has to be two or one. That's it. Three's ridiculous. So that was it. Man, that was uh episode nine. We only have two episodes left. We're almost there. Holy crap. It's kind of been fun. I like this series. I like this series too. It's fun and it's towing that line between frustrating and fun. I'm like, everyone, every once in a while, I'm like, why can't they see what's going on? But then I'm like, okay, this is also kind of fun. So it's really smart. I like this game. We're gonna win when we play.

SPEAKER_02 48:12

Um, so thanks so much for joining us. We're gonna see you again next week. We're we're almost at the end, and we have some exciting news. We do have some exciting news. Are we gonna give a here?

SPEAKER_01 48:22

You might as well just sell it. Just tell them. They're not they're not gonna care. People listening to the traders. It is our flagship show.

SPEAKER_02 48:27

Our Russian audience don't want to hear this, Christine. Despite Michelle's disapproval, I'm pressuring her into coming back for another season. Another season. Farmer wants a whoop! Yay!

SPEAKER_01 48:40

Another bonker season. This year it's only three farmers. It's only three farmers, which is I think is probably better. It's gonna be great. Less crap that we have to shovel through, which is great. Because most of them, I think three out of four of them typically are dud farmers. So this is less. We have a one in three chance of getting a good farmer.

SPEAKER_02 49:00

I do love that you were making an assumption that there were only three farmers because they couldn't come up with a black farmer.

SPEAKER_01 49:06

They couldn't find that black farmer. There's usually four farmers, and they were like, they searched high and low for a black farmer. This year they just gave up everyone in it in.

SPEAKER_02 49:14

Another thing, they gave all that money to Mitchell to buy a farm so he can compete. Yeah, and then right and then he and Sydney got together with her construction family. They fixed his house, they fixed his ranch. They broke up.

SPEAKER_01 49:27

Of course, once the construction was done. Holy crap. He was like, peace out. And we said that the entire time.

SPEAKER_02 49:35

We just talked about this a couple weeks ago, and I'm like, they're still together.

SPEAKER_01 49:38

This is amazing. But when we we also said he can't break up with her until the construction is done. Yep. And I'm imagining that they cut the ribbon and then he was like, peace, get off my property.

SPEAKER_02 49:49

And so farmer once wife has decided not to give money to another farmer to induce them to you. Do you think they did?

SPEAKER_01 49:56

Because most like we've heard that's the only way to keep them legit, right? We've heard from other like from the ladies who are on the show, hi ladies, that Lake would stay in like horrible conditions. Yeah, like these farms were like dilapidated. Right. And of course they didn't show us that. I wish they would show us that.

SPEAKER_02 50:13

They would give these fancy RVs to the farmers. Yeah, because they can't. The girls in the crappy house with the bunk bed.

SPEAKER_01 50:20

Sometimes no running water. That's horrible. That is horrible. And they're in the middle of nowhere. I just I'm hoping that last year they had there was a farmer who was in Southern California. Right. With the avocado weird seedling finger grapes or whatever. Someone looking for those damn things. But it was beautiful. It was some walk driving distance to different places. Yeah. So it was kind of hopeful for them that they and he looked like he had a nice bread. He had a really nice setup. Really nice. So I'm hoping this time these ladies are staying in some four-star accommodations. And maybe next year they can find a black farmer. Stay tuned.

SPEAKER_02 51:00

An introduction to the ladies, which we like to do.

SPEAKER_01 51:02

We always make our predictions. Yeah. We can do like a combo. These are the dudes. These are the ladies. Why are they somewhere so much better than them? Man, the guys are duds. They're always a dud.

SPEAKER_04 51:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 51:13

And I can't even remember their names from last year. That one guy who with avocado farm, he was hot. He was a cold, absolutely. Yes. It's a couple of things. Oh my gosh. Remember it was spitting Jordan? Yeah. Who's like a fucking smoke show? The other one was they're all beautiful women. There's no denial. But when they were in that hot tub together and she's into fucking bikini. And he he couldn't have given two shits. He was like giggling like he's never seen breasts before. Unbelievable. It was ridiculous. I just hope there's a little bit more fire. But hey, it's our it's what we're here for, right? So stay tuned for that. Oh my god. But thanks for joining us. Yay! Thank you for joining us. If you like us, leave a review. If you don't, just stuff it down and keep it to yourselves. No one wants to hear that. I'm really stoked that I have a Russian listener. I don't know what to think of that. Tell a friend, share the fun. Yeah. See you next week.

SPEAKER_02 52:06

See you next week. Bye!
