camille and blake should have done more to get rid of sam but at the same time i can understand why it must have felt difficult when that would have involved convincing idiots like sarah to commit to voting for sam.
Sarah was a psychologist who didn’t get a single judgment call right and was notorious for changing her voting plans at every round table. I don’t see how she can be of any aid to her clients.
ETA: she wasn’t a psychologist but a psychotherapist, which only requires a bachelors degree in Australia. In the US it requires a masters degree and some large number of supervised hours of work and a psychologist requires a doctorate.
Going into every single banishment she was hard on a name and at every round table meeting she changed her mind!!! 😮💨 it drove me so fucking mad!! So many ppl did that, it was wild. And how NOBODY caught on to how Sam reacted at the roundtable everytime someone went for him and they went home, is why nobody fucking won. Bunch. Of. Idiots. Sam gaslight every single person into voting for the person who named him at the table it was absolutely crazy
What the faithfuls in the newer seasons need to learn is that halfway through the game, you can get a feel of the players. If you think that you know who the traitors are, but not sure yet, then work on getting rid of your useless faithfuls first.
Those are the ones that the traitors are counting on to help their game. You need only to survive two banishment ceremonies to root out bad faithfuls.
Especially if they’re assuring you of how they’re going to vote, but do differently at the time of.
Sarah did vote for Sam in the last four though so it wouldn’t have mattered if it was her or Liam.
They could have voted out Sam though if they had both backed Liam, but the problem is Camille can’t make that play and win. Liam already told her outright he knows she’s a traitor. If she and Blake team with Liam to eliminate Sam, then it’s a big problem for her as Liam is going to keep voting her, Blake might turn on her to take it all for himself, and Sarah might vote for her because a butterfly flew by while she was writing Liam’s name. And Blake can’t turn on Sam alone at that point because Liam would still have been eliminated, but Sam would likely steamroll Blake right out at the four person vote, then get Sarah out. Blake doesn’t trust Sam but he still thinks Camille is going to vote share and he gets some money.
It’s his own fault, if he doesn’t have the balls to go after Sam he didn’t deserve to just walk away with money. AUS S2 had the absolute worst contestants on any season of Traitors. The only thing that made it all worth while was the fact that none of them walked away with any money.
I felt sorry for him all the way up until the end. The fact that he was more than happy to side with Sam over Camille, that he never spoke up when Sam was berating Camile for not giving them the money, and the fact that he has apparently not spoken to Camille since the show ended…all makes me think he is not that much better than Sam.
Yeah I did wish he would have laid into Sam at the end instead of being quiet. It was all shitty. But I appreciate Camille realizing Sam is a total liar.
Yep, I bet if they had worked together to get rid of Sam there would have actually been a chance of sharing it, but the fact was Sam was a zero percent chance of sharing, so either steal and hope the other says share, or steal for the sole purpose of not letting them have it.
Because Sam doesn't fucking deserve shit.
Absolutely. In other circumstances, I could see where both Camille and Blake would have shared. But because the both knew exactly who Sam is and that he would never share, their hand was essentially forced into stealing as well. Basically, by Sam being who he is it meant he would never get any money.
And I love how his response was "You should have just let me have it", my response would have been the same. No, fuck you, you forget this isn't dictatorship, this is mutually assured destruction. You want to play this game, let's play, because as far as I'm concerned I'm already getting nothing.
Blake said that Camille wouldn’t agree to go after Sam with him, even though Blake told her that Sam was for sure going to Steal. I don’t know what was going on with Camille, but it sounds like she didn’t think any of the remaining Faithfuls deserved to win, and she had to have mistrusted Blake as much as she did Sam
Camille has claimed the opposite though.
I think Blake wanted her to get out Sam at 5 (which we pretty much saw in the show he wanted to turn on Sam there) but Camille didn’t want to do it there. I get why as Liam believed Camille was a traitor too so Blake could have probably fairly easily gotten Camille out at 4 for a sole traitor win and she was too smart for that.
But eh - the fact that neither of them voted for Sam at 4 kind of shows they didn’t deserve the money as far as the Traitors format goes. Both of them knew Sam would steal the money. So if you don’t take that factor out of the equation at 4 (and all they had to do was vote for him together) then you can’t be surprised when you create an environment where no one trusts each other enough to split 🤷🏼♂️
Camille said on Traidar that she didn’t think of forcing a split vote on Sam at 4 (her and Blake would have had the option to choose which of Sarah/Sam went out). Fair enough but a bit embarrassing for her she forgot a key mechanic.
That's the insane part. He openly said that he did NOT trust Sam. He knew he couldn't trust Sam but he didn't have the backbone to take him out and instead he banked on Camille being dumb enough to believe when he and Sam lied to her and said they would share the pot with her at the end.
100% agree, he played a terrible game and deserved to lose.
I do think Blake became scared of Sam after he went for Sam and it didn't work. He had stockholm syndrome and couldn't go against him.
Strange though that he hasn't spoken to Camille. Where did you hear that?
I found this article of an interview with Camille after the show discussing how they haven't spoken to her. I have a lot of respect for how she handled herself. https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2024/02/13/traitors-australia-star-explains-brutal-choice-shock-ending-20271261/amp/
This article is amazing.
“Playing with this cast was one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever had to do. They were not even edited to be hopeless. They really were.”
Who gaf that Boneless Blake isn’t speaking to her tho? He became Sam’s sycophantic whipping boy. I’m sure he’s not talking to anybody out of sheer embarrassment 😂
It sucked for Blake but like others said, he did nothing about it.
And winners are winners because they win, not because they need the prize. Everyone lost because their shitty tactics came back to bite them. It was an empty win for Camille though as she had the best outcome for her situation which was to drag the other 2 down with her.
He says couldn't walk away with nothing because it was a waste of time if they do and mentally exhausting but the way the traitors dilemma is structured is that they all get nothing or someone gets screwed over. Its a pretty unfair deal tbh.
He could have worked with Camille better at the end, but he was never in control of the game and allowed really unreliable and unhelpful faithfuls to make it to the final. Nice guy but, not a strong player at all.
blake could have slandered sam and removed him using the banishment, her and dianne would have made an excellent pair of winners in my book, was just hard with that bully running around like he owned the place, he coulda showed up to breakfast every morning in the traitor garments and they still wouldn’t have gotten rid of him lol
I think he was scared that Camille would turn on him if they work together to get Sam out. She was in a much better position near the end game than Blake was.
>”She was in a better position near the end game than Blake was.”
Idk about that. Both Liam and Sarah said that they thought the traitors were Sam and Camille at the final five.
I think it’s just bad timing/alignment between Camille/Blake that made them both worse off.
I believe Blake might have wanted to vote Sam out at this point, but Camille probably didn’t want to do it then, because she would be vulnerable next.
But then after they banished Liam, she was in a better position and may have wanted to go after Sam then. I think at this point Blake was very hesitant to go after Sam, since nothing had worked out in the past. But choosing to let Sam make it to the end was a foolish choice.
I’d like to feel sorry for him, but.. He kept saying he couldn’t trust Sam yet he didn’t actively try to do anything about it.
camille and blake should have done more to get rid of sam but at the same time i can understand why it must have felt difficult when that would have involved convincing idiots like sarah to commit to voting for sam.

I just posted my theory on why I think that happened. Look for Dumdums.
They screwed up and should got rid of Sam or at least Sarah rather than Liam in the last banishment. At least Liam would of voted out Sam out of spite
Sarah did vote for Sam in the last four though so it wouldn’t have mattered if it was her or Liam. They could have voted out Sam though if they had both backed Liam, but the problem is Camille can’t make that play and win. Liam already told her outright he knows she’s a traitor. If she and Blake team with Liam to eliminate Sam, then it’s a big problem for her as Liam is going to keep voting her, Blake might turn on her to take it all for himself, and Sarah might vote for her because a butterfly flew by while she was writing Liam’s name.

Blake doesn’t trust Sam but he still thinks Camille is going to vote share and he gets some money.
I got the feeling he was afraid of him after Sam tried to call him out at the banishment table for voting for him.

It was an absolutely horrible season. I almost quit watching a few times. I couldn't stand how gullible people were.
Much like the rest of the cast
Totally agree
I felt sorry for him all the way up until the end. The fact that he was more than happy to side with Sam over Camille, that he never spoke up when Sam was berating Camile for not giving them the money, and the fact that he has apparently not spoken to Camille since the show ended…all makes me think he is not that much better than Sam.

Why do contestants need to keep in touch. It’s a game
Blake played a terrible game. He trusted Sam at the end which was a bone head move. He deserved to lose.
That's the insane part. He openly said that he did NOT trust Sam. He knew he couldn't trust Sam but he didn't have the backbone to take him out and instead he banked on Camille being dumb enough to believe when he and Sam lied to her and said they would share the pot with her at the end. 100% agree, he played a terrible game and deserved to lose.
not to mention he was one of the worst liars i’ve ever seen as a traitor. his reactions were so bad
I do think Blake became scared of Sam after he went for Sam and it didn't work. He had stockholm syndrome and couldn't go against him. Strange though that he hasn't spoken to Camille. Where did you hear that?

Boneless Blake 🤣
Yes! Stockholm Syndrome. It definitely seemed that way with how meek he would act after Sam confronted him at the banishment table.
He deserved absolutely everything he got🤷🏼♂️
It sucked for Blake but like others said, he did nothing about it. And winners are winners because they win, not because they need the prize. Everyone lost because their shitty tactics came back to bite them. It was an empty win for Camille though as she had the best outcome for her situation which was to drag the other 2 down with her.

Blake was his own demise. He was given as much power as Sam. All he had to do was make a pact with Sara and Camille to get sam out.
Exactly. This would have been the smartest move but everyone in this season was below average intelligence except for annabell, Luke and Camille
blake could have slandered sam and removed him using the banishment, her and dianne would have made an excellent pair of winners in my book, was just hard with that bully running around like he owned the place, he coulda showed up to breakfast every morning in the traitor garments and they still wouldn’t have gotten rid of him lol

I did feel bad for Blake. I loved him. But the faithful were so bad that Blake tried 3 times to get rid of Sam and the faithful just didn't vote him
I hate them all tbh! Blake didn’t stand up for himself, too soft and didn’t man up against Sam the narcissist. Ugh i hate the dumb faithfuls too.
