The Traitors: discussing episode 2

Seriously, this is now unusually the only program on TV that can really make me a bit nervous and tense. I really fear that The Traitors will mess up, that they will be exposed or that the whole thing will explode. And I must say; I found the first two episodes intense. So the fact that it is going to explode seems to be a fact now. But was it enjoyable again? FOR SURE.

1. So far, Ortál is the best of the three Traitors, right? Literally no one suspects her and she doesn't look traitorous at all. As far as that can go in this program.

2. Because being too non-traitorous can also stand out, so then being traitorous again and meine gute, what a mindf*ck this series is.

3. But Irene is definitely firmly steering her course of ‘look at me being a Traitor’.

4. HAHA. Innocent Jamie is otherwise so sweet and cuddly and one-on-one with the camera he curses the whole thing together. Delightful.

5. Esmee is so intensely loud but I really believe that is quite a good tactic in this game: just make yourself heard so that the Traitors don't dare to vote you out because that would stand out too much.

6. #durftevragen: does Stefano have eye muscle pain every morning? The way he moves his whole face is seriously just a workout.

7. Holy. F*cking. Shit. Sorry for this language (I've listened to Jamie too much), but a memorial service for Giel? How intensely grim. How will he have watched this at home? If you're the first out, they also pretend that you are literally deceased. Super.

8. No idea where the bitchfight between Babette and Irene comes from, I didn't see it coming at all, but the claws are clearly sharpened.

9. Sooo, can someone else make a flowchart of who is in which alliance and especially: who is backstabbing each other behind their backs? It's episode 2 and I'm already barely keeping up.

10. Hoooo Stefano, what are you doing? You're participating in The Traitors, not in Who is the Mole?. I think you're a bit confused.

11. ‘If you watch two episodes of StukTV, you're forgiven.’ HAHA.

12. Ah, that poor Stella, she's definitely going to be voted out. But does anyone seriously think she is a Traitor? I was just starting to get used to her.

13. Wooow, Esmee. Calm down. She's on some kind of warpath 2.0. Just backstab everything and everyone around you. I actually think this is a medium tactic.

14. Props to Ortál for being able to keep a poker face in the car.

15. I really like 3FM-Frank. In every scene (aside from the tasks) I spot him with a glass of alcohol in his hand and I can really appreciate that.

16. Irene is going to stir things up a bit because she has a shield and is safe. Well, that's true: but in the next episode you'll lose it again. So a bit of caution then?

17. I loooove that they consistently call 3FM-Frank Lange Frank. That makes me very happy.

18. Exactly no one is surprised that Stella is a Loyal. They just didn't want to give her the book. Well Stella, I'm going to buy it. Come on.

19. Even Tijl is disappointed. He has never seen this before. No, voting someone out who you don't even think is a Traitor doesn't seem like the best tactic to win a game called The Traitors.

20. Dionne: ‘A few have been suspiciously quiet.’ *Me who didn't notice Dionne the whole episode* ‘...like you?’

21. Joep, it was nice to have you around, but I'm putting my money (silver?) on you that you won't survive the night. I also hope for you that you don't get as grim a memorial service as Giel got.
