@RoundLike @Macca12312 @MrHarryCole If use Outlook (desktop) with multiple email accounts, you can choose which one to send from, including when replying to/forwarding emails, as well as writing new ones. So you could forward an email straight from a different address without having to send it to that inbox first.

@oj99_ @scottygb @FreddieNathan I guess it's pretty close to the day of broadcast - they obvs must catch the guests up on the episode(s) they've not yet seen (we've very occasionally seen reaction shots of them watching it). And I think they occasionally refer to online reaction so it can't all be beforehand.

@steeenzhiggins @MatrixGlitch1 @TheWhoDrew Stephen definitely held the cards in the last couple of episodes, but I think she did a lot of heavy lifting in the first three weeks.

[Tim Morris @timo_morris]

@Deppwifebeater @MatrixGlitch1 @TheWhoDrew Yeah, I took it as her saying "I don't blame you [fellow] faithfuls for voting for me in those circumstances, because I would if I were you [ie if I were not me]"

@RMole_ @garfieldaharbil @zara6201 @Dean_Journalist @bbcnewsline @BBCNewsNI I think OP meant organising the party in and of itself was a big hint that she'd done well - you probably wouldn't gather your close friends and family to see you humiliated falling at the final hurdle 😅 (I imagine Jack was probably watching quietly at home with his fiancée 😬)

[Tim Morris @timo_morris]

@zara6201 @garfieldaharbil @Dean_Journalist @bbcnewsline @BBCNewsNI I remember seeing photos of a similarly large viewing party for/with her for the first episode. Some other Traitors posted pictures of them watching with family/friends at home, but hers was particularly grand. But I wondered if it was just a big family or [Northern] Irish thing.

[Tim Morris @timo_morris]

@Digitaltattie @AyoCaesar Interesting, what was the first? (I was thinking this was the first time they've made a bad strategic move, but I'm probably forgetting stuff from the earlier episodes)

@TectusVulpes @NBABoards @Globalstats11 The calculation (from one of the other replies) is 38 weeks beforehand. 17 Sep - 38 weeks = 25 Dec. Same calculation for 8 Apr gives 16 Jul, and Wikipedia page for that date is pretty sparse. Also, don't know whether this source is global or just one country.

[Tim Morris @timo_morris]

@TectusVulpes @NBABoards @Globalstats11 It's Christmas (the 9 month calculation doesn't quite work for... reasons)

@zahraelise_ @kitwilsonwriter I also hate vague posting, but was aware of this bit of Twitter lore and got it immediately from the description. It's such a sadness of Twitter that it can feel like an amazing shared space, but we all get slightly different experiences and you don't know where the overlaps are.

@girltummyfan @cremieuxrecueil When you say "never consider it worthwhile" does "it" mean "waiting" or "it" mean "saving an hour now"? And/or can you expand a bit on what you mean by "discount rate"? (what you said sounds really interesting but I couldn't quite follow it)

[Tim Morris @timo_morris]

@MrBenGrant @tweetsbyrayan I just assumed it was because the benefit for her really is publicity for her books. Which is a shame, because it unbalances the game, when everyone else is incentivised to play to win. (let's be honest, there's no real gain in going out in a way that helps "your team" win)

[Tim Morris @timo_morris]

@snowxglobe @smartesthorse Yeah, I think the fact that his first response was to offer to leave in a very unfussed way (rather than look at them weirdly) shows that it must be quite normal for people have private side conversations. So you wouldn't automatically take this as Traitor behaviour.

[Tim Morris @timo_morris]

@TweetMeRyan @bigtimeEST @superTV247 It is risky, but it would be worse to leave Jessie in the game longer. There has to be a reckoning between them in one form or the other and this is the best option.

It also has the benefit of stringing Matthew along for at least another day, and he might get banished anyway.

[Tim Morris @timo_morris]

@e_daniellee @CRELeasingLawTX @elocinationn I'd disagree - I think everyone has a "ceiling" at some level. I did a maths undergrad degree (in the UK) and had some course mates who hit their ceiling in the first year and switched to e.g. physics instead. I think I was lucky to hit mine at about the end of my degree.

[Tim Morris @timo_morris]

@patrickgormli @tomfgoodwin @jdaykin As was I, but clearly that's my theory blown!

[Tim Morris @timo_morris]

@RokkerBoyy @tomfgoodwin @jdaykin US and UK have different norms when it comes to bread: meat ratio in sandwiches, as I discovered when we were making sandwiches for a day trip and my American friend piled half the packet of ham (which I'd expect to last the week) into one of his 😅
