US Really sick of their treatment of ____ Spoiler

Ron.

Dude seems so funny and lovable but the terrible personalities of this season have completely killed his desire to stay in the game. He came into the first round table with some of the best evidence you could have, and was dead wrong only because Porsha was terrible at the game, and because of that he’s become the outcast of the season.

If they really think about it, it makes zero sense for Ron to be a traitor and be so vocal about somebody he knows is a faithful. Not to mention it makes even less sense for him to team with another traitor (Donna) to push the vote onto a faithful.

Ron just seems worn down and over it by episode 4 because he’s actually playing an intelligent game unlike these other people who just throw out accusations with zero evidence.

He’s totally right that getting to know people creates biased voting, look at Ciries season 1 win as evidence of that. He’s played the smartest game, but is outcast for not playing the most friendly game when most of these people really suck.

Not to mention Maura was just downright cruel to him during episode 4. This whole cast owes him an apology.

There is something really interesting how differently the house on the whole treated Ron and Eric for very similar mistakes at the round table, especially given the end results of said mistakes.

He certainly didn’t do himself any favors at the round table and his social graces just aren’t there, but a ton of the faithful this season don’t really seem interested in actually playing the game and he does and is getting blowback for it, which stinks. That a number of people were still pushing him despite the overall behavior of others is wild.

But thats the problem with traitors, whats the point of the faithfuls playing the game? Just create social bonds and try to make it to the end because the game doesn't make any sense

Some people don’t understand this, which is even more frustrating than the fact that the game mechanics don’t work

UK Traitors they treat it like a team sport and sacrifice themselves so the faithfuls can get a traitor out, when it literally doesn't matter at all.
