Summary

(SPOILERS)Tess Higgins, content creator and @realityscholar on IG and TikTok, joins me to discuss last night's episode 8 of the "Traitors." Did Candiace seal her own fate by voting for Rob at the roundtable last week? Smart decision murdering Colton? How did the editing throw off the roundtable discussion? What about the choice to recruit - right one? And is the ultimatum silly? That and much, much more today.

What's up, everyone? Welcome in to your Friday recap of the Traders. Last night's episode, episode eight, we saw on Peacock. Honestly, I thought it was better than episode seven, which Alan had billed as the end-all be-all of Traders episodes. I was like, okay, I had some interesting stuff in it. I think it was the best episode that he should have been promoting before the season. But whatever. Anyway, we're bringing in our guests for this week. Tess Higgins, you know her as reality scholar on Instagram content creator. Tess, thanks for coming on. Of course. Thanks for having me. So did you like last night's better than last weeks? Yeah, I'm with you. I think that this delivered more than last week because they just overhyped it too much, I think.

I'm wondering now, I think I saw a couple clips of Jam Jam, and I saw him being presented with, or finding out that, hey, it was actually Rob and.

0:56.6

Oh, yes.

0:57.8

Candace.

0:59.5

No, Rob, Boston Rob.

1:01.0

And Bob the drag queen telling him, hey, it wasn't.

1:06.6

Oh, yes.

1:07.3

Yes.

1:07.5

I saw that too.

1:08.3

Wasn't because of a kiss.

He's like, oh, I didn't have no idea.

1:12.5

Did you think it was fair that he was allowed to go out kicking and screaming and basically pin Lisa?

1:19.3

Yeah, I mean, because it's one of those things that I feel like production just must like not have thought about because every other murder, like,

1:29.3

you don't know that you're murdered until you get your little envelope or whatever.

1:32.3

It's not like you're taken away in the moment.

1:34.9

And if that's their first time doing that sort of elimination, then there's no protocol

1:39.7

over what you can and can't do.

1:43.5

So, yeah, it felt like there just wasn't clear communication about the rules there,

1:49.9

which I know that there's like a very clear rule that like when you go into like your

1:53.9

circle of truth or whatever, if you're true, you can't name any of the other traders or like
