Using gossip to socially sanction someone, which is like put them in a line based on what you believe in, is also a party disconnect, right? So like you and I would view the use of social sanctioning to say like you can't say these list of words that we think are harmful to people, right? Like these are slurs that we don't use. We would view that as a moral good. Right.

Okay. So something I've noticed, this is the third season of American Traitors. And the first season was half celebrities, half regular people, half normies. Second season was all celebrities. This season is all celebrities. And something I've noticed is that because Traitors is a game that anyone can play and And it has rules that kind of don't require you to be a good strategist to be on it.

It's a really great place for publicists to try and get their person on because it gives them face time and they can make jokes. And so there are people in this season of Traders that I'm like, what the hell are you doing here, right? Like Sam Ashgari I think is actually the best example of this where it's like, what – What are you doing here? Who let you in here? Right? Like, what are you doing?

Helps win the challenges, demonstrates how strong he is. We are like, oh, I feel positively about that. I do feel positively about that. Right? Right?

But this is a really good placement for him because it's like he's on TV. He can't really get himself into that much trouble. Yeah. And so he's just like wandering around the castle.

Now, the survivor players are really strategic, right? Like they are always really strategic. And that's kind of how the survivor game is played, right? It's like four-dimensional chess that everyone is playing at all times, which just like creates... And so what's kind of funny to me about traders is you have the survivors and someone like Wes, who's a challenge guy, right?

the problem with the traitors is that you have boston rob and carolyn playing this chess game and you have like gabby windy in there who's not playing chess at all right and she's just like sitting there and so it's like you can't it makes it really hard to fight her though because it's Like, you really don't know what her next move is because she's not playing a strategic game.
