Ariadne is a v savvy watcher of telly and I trust her implicitly in this take. #TheTraitors
I'm sure Rachel survives purely because I don't think they would've denied Uncloaked the SCENES of Roxy finding out Rachel was a Traitor face-to-face #TheTraitors #TraitorsUK #Traitors

IDGAF who actually wins in the end. One of #TheTraitors will do over the other anyway. I just wanna get rid of James for his inability to let women speak without interrupting.

The other thing I can’t stand about James is the self-aggrandising defence of “I’m just at an honest guy saying what I think” like that’s licence to talk over others, to dominate a conversation, and an excuse for any poor behaviour. We hear it from mansplainers so often. #TheTraitors

Yes Jade. Lay into James. All he does is interrupt, talk over, and make it about him. She’s telling him and he’s still doing it now. Can’t stand him. #TheTraitors

Whenever I wear this dress at work at least one person comes over to me to tell me how much they “love that dress”. Last time it was 6 people, including some I don’t even know.
Dress: Roksanda for George (AW 24/25)

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory
