0:00.0	It's the game of roses. Welcome to the Game of Roses. This is the Game of Roses. Welcome to the Game of Roses. Welcome to Game of Roses. Welcome to Game of Roses. It's me. Special clues. That was not Dark Lord Alan coming, as you might have thought by the dead on impersonation that I just did. No, it's just me. Old Bachelor Clues. Here to recap the very first episode of Traders U.S. Season 4. I've just watched it. Literally 10 minutes ago I finished. I have extremely mixed feelings about it. We got some incredible fan service in Lisa.
0:40.4	Well, look, there's going to be spoilers in this.
0:42.3	I should tell you that right off the top.
0:44.6	We're going to be talking about everything that happened in episode one,
0:47.3	including who the traders are, who was eliminated or not, et cetera, et cetera,
0:53.5	what the alliances are, everything. So if you want to
0:56.7	say spoiler free on traders, don't watch anything that I'm about to say. If you've already watched
1:01.5	the first episode, that's exactly what I'm going to be recapping. And I'm going to be recapping
1:05.5	every episode of this entire season as well as they come out. The first three dropped on Thursday. They're going
1:13.3	to drop another one next Thursday and then it's one a week after that. I'll be doing these first
1:17.1	three episodes in three successive days. There'll be another recap tomorrow of episode two and one

1:26.7	Just go to patreon.com slash game of roses
1:28.9	i watch every episode on our patreon and do kind of like minute by minute color commentary of everything
1:34.1	we're seeing what the plays of the game are what the errors of the game are etc um all that said
1:40.2	i should also mention right now if you're on our Patreon, you get early access to our next
1:44.4	batch of Game of Rosea, an award-winning wine that was produced by Styring Vineyards. We partnered
1:50.6	with them to bring you this. And there's a new batch, fresh and ready for Taylor Frankie Paul's
1:56.9	upcoming season of Bachelorette that premieres March 22nd. But all that said, let's get into
2:02.0	this. Like I was saying, there were some big swings here. Real fan service type stuff in this episode
2:09.9	with the selection of some of the traders, the main one being Lisa Rina. I think we all wanted to see that.
2:19.2	When her name was first in the cast,
