I thought they ran out of time on one mission, the first?, but not certain.

I am a bit surprised by the finale response here. Glad so many enjoyed it truly. I felt it was too scripted and predictable. The 3 way tie vote, I believe, was wholly scripted by production for suspense and entertainment. It was a way to play up the makeup and reunion of Trishelle and CT...two deserving winners. As you all said, they really played the challenges and won the majority of the money.
Just wanted to come here to see if you all felt it was extremely scripted for drama purposes? And I agree with those of you talking about how fake the "time" is for the challenges.
The Re-Union was interesting only in seeing how much more disgusting Phaedra could be. CT, Trishelle, John, and Peter made the show this season for me and I did not know any of them before.
Wish you all a great spring and look forward to seeing you all during the next BB season.

I've been "following" MJ for about 12 years now. I watch a lot of interviews, podcasts and go to, in person shows, that have reality guests. The two people from Shahs Of Sunset that I actually don't care much for, are GG (really dislike GG) and MJ. They are just undesirable people. MJ has been pretty negative about her experience on Traitors. She is very full of her self outside of this show. At the end of the show, before I watched the reunion, I turned to my husband and commented...Oh, MJ is going to be furious with CT and Trishelle. She had already made some telling comments on other interviews before the reunion aired. Indeed, she was the epitome of bitter. She got to the end, much like Sheree, because she was rather clueless. Half the time she was aligned with the Traitors lol. The fact that she blocked both Trishelle and CT just speaks to her character. She is very much about money. She just got herself in to hot water because she received products (personally gifted to her) from an A-List celebrity hair stylist, that she then turned around and sold on her Poshmark site. He was upset, to say the least.
I also never understand the fawning over Phaedra. As I commented earlier, and was delighted to hear other Traitors confirm, she never even had a plan. Just let the other Traitors make all the decisions. I think people are scared of her laser sharp tongue. She is very good at cutting people down, and very intelligent and well spoken.
Now that Traitors is such a hit…I think we might be seeing more top reality players willing to appear. I saw the list of contestants that are rumored to be on the next season, and I am excited by quite a few of them. Of course, let's face it, Alan Cummings is the star. He is THE reason the show is such a hit. Love him! And I don't care if Andy Cohen is the official host of reunions at Bravo/Peacock….I would love Alan to do it.

I was not familiar with MJ, but I appreciate your view of her from other shows. Just helps confirm my dislike of her. There's really no way she was in on a scripted 3 way tie. She's is just TOO, too bitter. Now, did CT and Trishelle cook that up? Maybe if they knew the tie braker was a revote.
And yes, I agree the 'timer' is not exactly accurate. I do think they have failed tasks due to time, but anything that is this close of a call, I think they adjust the time a bit. LOL.

Boberg, yes, I think it is very scripted. Which is baffling to me because…why don’t they have a handle on the game mechanics, and the holes therein? Production can control this thing however they want since there are no live feeds to hold them accountable. Yet, the contestants are able to expose their fellow traitors, even though that’s supposedly not allowed. The final 3 can banish someone just to keep more prize money. It’s all pretty sketchy.

Oh wow....now MJ has gone on her social media and posted a screenshot of a fan's tweet
“So we all agree CT is 100 percent f–king Trishelle right? Trishelle and CT have had an agenda against Bravo from episode 1! They [prepare] this s–t a long time ago, from the bedroom!"
This is exactly who MJ is. Trishelle is happily married. If CT and Trishelle had ever had a romantic past...it would have come out by now. And does anyone think if Reza had been on together with MJ, that they would not have had an alliance? She had to stoop low.
So many people are posting about how they don't like her, and don't like how she treats others on other shows. She was on Jeff Lewis and went off on live radio about a poor assistant and how he didn't ask her what she wanted for breakfast. And how rude he was etc The poor guy was so embarrassed. She is classless

I have not watched the reunion show. I watched the final of this season just now. I thought the finale was likely contrived between CT and Trishelle and was surprised they didn't both vote MJ the first time. I have never seen a show with MJ or any of the Housewives, in it before, and thought this show was being generous in allowing some of the participants to compete, when they obviously were not quite fit enough to be equal participants.
I also found the timing of the missions to be highly suspect.
Oh well. It's a bit like dining at Cafe Karma, where there is no menu, and you get what you deserve.

Trishelle said the reason she voted for CT first when they were at F3 is because she thought he might be a Traitor (because of the Sandra vote). If MJ votes for CT instead of voting for Trishelle, then CT would have been banished at F3. So that definitely was not planned ahead of time by them.
I follow Trish on IG and Twitter. It is really disgusting for MJ to insinuate that there was something romantic going on between her and CT. Trish is all about her husband. In fact, there's nothing on her SM to indicate that prior to filming Traitors that her and CT even followed each other. They were not on the best of terms.
As far as "timed challenges" - many times on the The Challenge they have lost money out of the pot because they couldn't beat the timer (but they are athletes and the Traitors are not so maybe production did cut them a break - LOL).

Lexie, I agree with you. I don't think it was scripted, unless MJ was in on it, and she clearly wasn't, given how pissed she is now.
As for the timer, I do think that it was a bit contrived, but I'm not sure the contestants knew. There were times I would think, "no way they can get that done in x minutes", and yet, somehow the seconds started crawling by slower and slower... LOL.
As for Trishelle and CT, there was some humming and question evading when CT was asked about Phaedra.... seems more likely that they were mmm-hmmmming... "castle daddy".

Phaedra loves giving people nicknames like Bergilicious, Castle Daddy. I didn't take any of her nicknames seriously. She also constantly speaks in a way as if she is auditioning for soft porn which I just don't get. I don't think it means she is hitting on the person she is talking to or anything beyond that. It is just who she is. She's a strange one.
I also think it is horrible that MJ would take some fan's fabricated story and repost it like that. Says alot about her character or lack there of. Any pity I had for her in that moment of being banished is completely gone.
I did enjoy this season so much more then the first. I am looking forward to who gets cast for season 3.

Kappy, it was CT's comments at the reunion that made me a bit suspicious. That said, they had to sleep in separate rooms, and they are both single adults, so?
And he did vote her out. CT is def a gamer.

From what I've read about how they are sequestered in a hotel and not allowed to mingle, I doubt anyone could get some discreet hanky panky going.
Yes, totally classless of MJ to repost that. I like her even less now. Just rude and so uncalled for.

I feel so bad for Trishelle. She has been receiving death threats and so much hate because of her and CT winning. I think much if it is due to MJ, and her being such a sore loser. On Jeff Lewis her cohosts were telling everyone to go after CT and Trishelle because MJ was so hurt by their actions. I had to laugh, that MJs husband, on his podcast, said MJ deserved to lose. He said she played to last and not to win.

Oh, and every single person on the show has said they didn't care for Andy as the host of the reunion. They all wanted Alan. They said they would have preferred someone who had spent the time with them and knew what happened. As Jeff is to Survivor, or Chris/Jesse is to Bachelor for example. They said they felt like he was reading questions that people gave him, and didn't get any deeper after they answered. I agree. Hopefully they change this in the future. Who knows, with all the lawsuits...there may not even be an Andy Cohen on Bravo next year

Anyone watching season 2 of the Traitors Australia???? Not going to spoil but it has a unique ending.
I much prefer UK and Australia versions of The Traitors. I like that they use "real" people and not reality personalities. Reminds me of how Big Brother used to be in it's early seasons before everyone aspired to be an influencer or reality persona, or increase their "followers".

I finished S2 of AUS a couple of weeks ago. I have to agree with the internet that Sam is a sociopath and those were the dumbest Faithfuls ever.

The season was a bit hard to stomach, due to how cocky (I'm being kind) he was, and how most of the others didn't seem to see it.
I think the shows with "real" people are definitely better than the US reality stars too. Much higher chance of getting players who are consistent, and where you can follow their thought process, even if you think it's not a wise one. Couple of players in the last UK one, for instance, worked out who was who early on, but were clever enough to realise they had to subtly change minds before they could do anything, rather than going full on with the accusations. I felt for them, knowing but not being able to stop others being foolish.
