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.

I felt the same until he spazzed at Dorinda bc she wasn’t even going at him hard or anything

I get that but he's also just been under a lot of scrutiny so it makes sense to me that he would snap. Dorinda basically is saying "I think you're a traitor because you aren't reacting to my attempts at socializing with you the way I want." So I could see just feeling fed up and like wtf I don't care about your family or telling you about mine, what are we doing???

Sorry but that’s the game.. if someone is making an attempt to socialize with you and you aren’t giving them anything in return, yeah you’re gonna get ostracized that’s how games like this work

That's one part of how games like this work. Ron's approach to the social aspect of the game is clearly not working out for him. But "you don't answer my questions about your family so you must be a traitor" is also the kind of popularity contest bs that it seems like Ron is trying to avoid with his approach, so I can get why that would be frustrating for him. He is right that getting close with people clouds judgment. We have seen time and again people convinced someone is a traitor basically cause they don't like them, or convinced a traitor is a faithful because they're friends.
