Yesss, the best series of the year has started again. That's right: The Traitors. And I can't tell you how much I want to chat about this. Because my god: how intense were these first two episodes. Can't we just do two every week? Really extremely little desire to have to wait a week every time, but for now: let’s goooo.

1. We haven't even been on the road for a quarter of an hour and literally the only emotion that prevails everywhere is blind panic. Three groups of complete chaos. Then you know: this is going to be a great season.

2. I am really looking forward to farmer Bertie in the upcoming episodes, because I think she is one of the few who doesn't let herself get crazy. No one can make her go crazy. Bertie is just really relaxed. Chill.

3. Holy shit, how long did Frank Evenblij have to wait in that coffin? Just imagine: all three groups missed that chisel and started melting that candle wax with that candle. Hanging there for four hours in that coffin. Not fun at all.

4. Also, my preference for the Traitors: Monica, Pepijn, Guido, and Eva. I assume that during the psychological pre-evaluation they immediately concluded that Katja wouldn't be suitable, because she would have blabbed to three-quarters of the participants within five seconds that she was one.

5. Or that Katja and Bertie become the two, that would also be complete mayhem. Sounds hilarious to me.

6. Huh: Fajah suddenly on JayJay? I assumed that all the nails would go towards Eva, because she received Frank's hand trembling like a reed.

7. The bitch fight we didn’t know we needed: Rob and Guido are really not going to become besties. Idea for a drinking game: every time one of those two throws a jab, a shot or a sip for the atmosphere. Hangover guaranteed.

8. All those participants ordering a tea: HAHA. Sorry, but during the previous seasons, they were almost sleeping in a vat of wine, so much was being drank. This is a hundred percent the production wanting to show that they really aren't drinking alcohol every night.

9. I give it one and a half episodes before Katja's notebook gets hijacked and she loses it. One and a half episodes max. But it could also be five minutes.

10. So, if they had kicked Monica out first, I might have stopped watching immediately — I actually assume that she will become a very cunning player this season and that she will definitely be scouted as a Traitor, so it’s quite inconvenient if that prediction gets messed up right away.

11. Aww, that poor Fajah. There you are at breakfast, with your head in strong liquor. It was a nice episode that we could enjoy you in. Short, but definitely powerful. But why don’t we see her reaction?! I bet it was brilliant.

12. Every season I am amazed at how quickly everything can turn around. In the first episode, everyone was all about Eva, now André is completely in trouble. Hardly keep up, man.

13. So often I think: I also want to do all those tasks from the Traitors. Sounds amazing. But this… No way, I’m skipping this one. And if this sets a precedent for the rest of the season, I’m very glad I’m comfortably lying on my couch.

14. Team Monica, Bokoesam, and Pepijn are Team Six Culture — I can really relate to that. ‘We’re not going to save this for the rest of his life.’ No exactly, don’t worry about it then. Next time better. Or not. Let the rest of the participants do the hard work.

15. Wow, what an intense Round Table right away, man. Holy shit. It. Is. On. It could really be anyone who gets banished now; I think this is going to be very spread out in terms of votes, or will it ultimately be André… That would be something, a Traitor out right away.

16. So nice that Katja’s constant state of being is actually complete confusion. She really rolls from one surprise to another.

17. NO. What the f*** is happening here? Just a Traitor at home. How bizarre this is, meine gute. And why was he sent home? Because of a ‘vibe’. What. An. Episode.

18. And you just know that Katja is going to fill that entire notebook tonight and erase it again and fill it again. And erase it again. HAHA.
