THE TRAITORS: DISCUSSING EPISODE 8

The end is in sight, just two weeks left until the finale. By the way, I am so glad that we didn't get an extra Traitor this season like Samantha Steenwijk, because then I would have really caused a stir. These have truly been high-caliber Traitors. I just want Stefano and Jamie to reach the finale together. They must. THEY MUST.

1. This conversation between Jamie and Steven is so tense and awkward. That cutting music in the background wasn't even necessary.

2. I have a very, very bad feeling about today. As euphoric as I was about the Traitors in the last six episodes, with Ortál's departure everything is up in the air.

3. What actually happens if all the other Loyalists manage to banish the Traitors? That would be a real anticlimax. There wouldn't even be a finale to play.

4. Stefano: ‘My plan today is to do as little as possible.’ Stefano is my spirit animal part 45927.

5. YES, they have kicked Babette out. I have hope. This has to work. Stefano and Jamie heading to that finale. Hatsaaaa.

6. This is going to be totally my episode because I really love the casino. Bring on that roulette table.

7. That poor Jamie seriously looks like he needs to catch up on thirty days of sleep from this whole adventure. Being a Traitor doesn't sit well with you, that's for sure.

8. And while it can actually be quite relaxing during the day: a bit of pool, a bit of playing Yahtzee, smoking a cigarette outside, gossiping... And today, as the cherry on top, also going to the casino. Sounds like a great day to me.

9. But I'm not as reckless a gambler as this group, I must say, meine gute. Going all in is NEVER smart.

10. Well, unless your name is Stefano, of course.

11. HAHA. Tijl casually downs two glasses of wine back-to-back after Stefano's win: love it. Cheers.

12. Huh? Irene is giving everything to Jamie? That's a crazy decision. I mean: totally fine with that whole inheritance, but the logic escapes me a bit.

13. Oh no, is Jamie seriously being tricked now? And is he too tired and exhausted to realize this plan? This is going completely wrong. It's escalating out of control.

14. Frank Evenblij, we need to talk. You are now personally throwing my favorite participant out and I’m not happy with it.

15. I don't know what happened after Jamie's banishment, because in my anger, I threw everything in my vicinity at the TV. Godverdegodveeeer. I really had faith that these two Traitors would save the finale.

16. Jamie, we definitely see that the Traitors are struggling too. Go to bed and stay there for a month. You need it.

17. Next week is already the last round table. Only Stefano left. But still: I see him winning this. It's hilarious that he still has to go to the tower alone, because he has no one left to consult.

18. By the way, it's bizarre to realize that we have been following this for weeks, while it actually only lasted just over a week. Then you also understand more how exhausting this whole adventure is.
