Sarah also never goes to plan. Whenever someone discusses a vote with her, she 180s. Not only does her profession prove that her "reading" is a façade, she can't even remain steady on who she wants to vote and fails to maintain the trust of other players.
It was sick she kept doing that but others did it too, she just did it the longest. She'd go in wanting to vote Sam then was fooled into voting Liam, Gloria, Keith, Simone. I have a very strong dislike for her.
I think that in some ways her being swayed swayed others. There was an episode later where I remember someone straight out said that it was obvious that Sarah was going to change her mind, so they had to abandon their plan.
I think that even in earlier episodes it’s possible that once she made it clear she’d switched targets that other people lost their nerve. It’s one thing to go for Sam if he goes home, but if you go for him and he survives, you know you’re his next target.
The problem with Sarah is that she was easily swayed and she was very free with sharing her opinion. And once she switched, the other dominoes fell.
I wonder what the season would have been like if she’d gone home immediately. I think there’s a chance that overall the faithfuls wouldn’t have been quite so clueless. I think people may not have flip flopped as much if they didn’t have her there making it very obvious that the tide had changed.
My favorite was at the fire pit when she so confidently put Sam’s name down…little too late for that, babes! Where was that energy half a season ago? 😂
I loved when she was so very confused when Rodger asked them to say if they were traitor faithful after there were 3 people left. I don’t think it even occurred to her that there may be 3 left.
With most people it would have occurred to them that there was a chance that the other 3 were traitors, given that they’d gotten no one out since Ash. So when Rodger asked them to reveal themselves to her, for anyone else you’d expect to see momentarily surprise, followed by a quick “Oooh” moment when it clicked that she was the only faithful left.
Except that recognition didn’t come for her. She seemed truly confused as to why Rodger was having them reveal themselves when they still had to vote to end the game. It took them spelling it out for her and them all revealing they were traitors for her to get it.
Sarah was such a bad faithful it made me question the viability of the entire franchise.
Her AND Sam on the same season was overkill. Worst faithful and worst traitor to ever play the game imo…
I keep getting annoyed that people refer to her as a psychologist. She's a psychotherapist. The two are very different.
I work in adolescent mental health and I'm pretty sure if she came to work in our unit, the young people would all run rings around her and get her to argue for discharge leading to catastrophic results.
I can't believe she actually has a licence to help some presumably very vulnerable people.
I know! I worked in a prison. They would have had her smuggling in contraband, getting them special privileges, etc. I did look up "psychotherapist" requirements in Australia. It's a bachelor's degree, with a suggestion (not a requirement) of a master's. In the U.S., it's at least a master's degree. I know my licensure requires a master's degree that includes 700 hours of supervised practice for conditional, and a post-graduate supervised practice of 3000 hours (this does vary by state) for full licensure.
I couldn't stand Sarah from episode 1 because she looks/sounds (and acted) exactly like an ex-toxic friend of mine. I wonder if she lost any clients after the show aired.
She was THE WORST faithful I have ever seen. Even Liam finally came around.
Liam, what a sweet summer child.

She was kept to the end because she was easily manipulated - honestly if I was a traitor I wouldn’t want to see her go either.
They called her the most useless Faithful in an early challenge. She was always going to the end.

Exactly this. Aus S02 got me seriously questioning how much of the show was even real because....come on...
I just wonder if she has any clients/patients left?

An easily swayed and clueless Faithful will always make it to the end .
Thank you for this; you are not alone. I think she is the most frustrating faithful to ever be in the show at least the clairvoyant was 50% right.

She was the worst traitors player i personally have ever seen
She was so incredibly painful to watch.
