And from Ruth: “After the first round table, I was ready and determined to always voice my opinion.
“I knew it was probably going to get me murdered, but the guilt after Niko left made me think that I’m not going to go through the rest of the game feeling like this. I played honestly, true to my opinions and leave with no regrets.”

A few words from Clare’s exit interview: “I’ve had confirmed what I already knew, which is I am a rather pathetic people pleaser. I will still live by the mantra of keep your camera turned outwards, ie look out for other people, but I realise that I’m probably not.
“I’m not suspicious enough but I’m quite happy being that way. I’d rather live in a world where I trust everyone, where I see good in everyone, and where the world is always, bright, shiny and positive. And if that was my downfall, I’m fine with that.”

Clare holding a notebook titled “Times I was Right and Nobody Listened” lol.
(Incidentally, more people should keep long, written lists of grudges. Why should we let Richard Nixon have all the fun?)

Here’s an idea: I think Ruth and Joe Marler should give up their respective careers in sports and the arts and travel the country solving crimes. They’ve got the goods! Like if Columbo was British, and also two people

She was shrewd, was Ruth. Too shrewd. Very likeable contestant!

An interview with Ruth currently airing on Uncloaked. She twigged Jonathan and Cat, but seems genuinely stunned when she learns about Alan’s deception.
“He’s gonna need to move to Mexico when he gets out of here.”
