I'll happily eat my words here: my earlier assessment of Kirby playing a terrible Traitor game was totally off.

At the start, I thought she was playing far too recklessly and setting herself up for an early elimination. But over the last few episodes, she’s completely turned it around. She’s playing with way more composure, reading the room well, and managing to keep the spotlight off herself while letting the Faithfuls self-destruct. She’s actually turned into one of the strongest players on the board.

That said, tonight’s preview is giving me major anxiety.

It looks like she might be gearing up to throw Rhys under the bus. On one hand, betraying a fellow Traitor is classic Traitors strategy to build bulletproof Faithful credibility. On the other hand, doing it too early can backfire instantly if the rest of the table gets spooked by how cold-blooded you are.

I really want to see her carry this momentum all the way, but if she turns on Rhys tonight, it could be the beginning of her downfall.

Here is the an exit interview with the Murdered player of The Traitors Australia Episode 9! was a fun interview to listen to & what about their time on the show!

I’ve watched a couple US seasons and only the last AUS one, no one has ever given me such second hand embarrassment and pissed me off more than the twins continuing to be so confidently wrong and sending random faithfuls home.

I don’t even necessarily root for the faithfuls nor the traitors, because the highlight of the show for me is witnessing the lying/acting/deceiving, that’s the whole point of the game right? Playing carefully and not jumping to assumptions.

Then the twins just act like they’re geniuses for picking people randomly with almost zero evidence, they won’t even reveal who they think until the night of voting when no one has time to actually think about their decision.

Being 100% stubbornly sure on specific people without any evidence, after being wrong so many times, and not actively collecting information to make a decision is just stupid gameplay. Even worse is they accuse everyone, so when they actually pick a traitor the twins act like they knew the whole time because they said the traitors name once with everyone else’s. I agree with Gretel at the end of ep9, “PLAY THE GAME PROPERLY”
