The Traitors: Aftershow episode 5
Am I the only one whose entire For You Page on TikTok is filled with De Verraders? And then actually just clips of Selma? I scroll endlessly and come across hundreds of videos. But good news: I think everyone realizes that Selma is a hundred percent the main character this season. If she goes out earlier, the viewership will immediately halve. If that happens, at least we know that De Verraders is not a rigged game, because they obviously want to get everything out of this ratings juggernaut. But well, this week she is still in it, so it was again enjoyyyyy.
1. It's just that we know Selma is not a Traitor, but honestly: it would really be a brilliant tactic, right? Just being so fanatical while you're the one murdering everyone.
2. Maria takes acting very seriously. ‘Nooooo Selma #omg don't say Thomas is out oh noooooo.’ Literally no one falls for this. In other words: tonight it's exit Maria.
3. Realize that Maria is going out before Sander. That Sander suddenly is just a smooth Traitor. That might be the biggest plot twist of this season.
4. Moreover, Sander is actively making sure that Maria goes out. Oh, how the tables have turned.
6. Loooove Selma. She really makes it seem like the Traitors chose to be that way and not like they were just tapped on the shoulder by Tijl. The Traitors are the conscious bad guys and I really love that attitude.
7. HAHA. What. Is. This. Maria. Maria, Maria, what are you doing? Out of pure desperation throwing your fellow Traitor under the bus. Maria, you get a failing grade for this action. FAIL.
9. Maria: ‘Selma, I wish you a lot of love, and I wish you a lot of humanity.’
Selma: ‘I have.’
Maria: ‘...And I wish you a lot of integrity.’
Selma: ‘I HAVE.’
Selma is so done with this round table.
10. With this, I am going to start a petition to see Selma in every reality series or game from now on.
11. That poor Jessie too, who went through fire for Maria. She will think twice before trusting someone new. She almost has a trauma from it.
12. Plus point for Sander (and for Selma): because Maria went out like this, she has taken the suspicions off them. Because why would a Traitor attack another Traitor like that? You just don't do that?! Exactly.
13. Ho. Katinka. Calm down. ‘The first thing you do is throw her out.’ As if it would have made any difference if Sander had voted for someone else alone. Finally, he is a smooth good Traitor, and Katinka gives him a hard time.
14. She is going to demand excuses from him too. Uh, Katinka, I think it should actually be the other way around.
15. Next week on De Verraders: Katinka and Sander finish each other off. Episode 5 was the last of the game. In the next three episodes, we will see the rest of the participants vacationing in their country house in France.
16. Katinka: ‘I didn't have much respect for Sander and that has now grown a bit.’ How does this toxic logic work? Gaining respect for someone by completely attacking them out of the blue and not letting them finish?
17. Okay, still curious: am I the only one who is 100 percent behind Sander or do we understand Katinka here?
