    The Traitors

    Traitors Season 3 UK also had the cabin mission with the dolls. The US and UK seasons tend to mirror each other pretty closely (although the challenges aren't always in the same order), they film at the same location and I think usually film back to back, so the challenges are all already set...

    The Traitors

    I think they are isolated a fair bit. The UK version (filmed at the same location) makes it clear that they don't stay at the castle overnight (the US version fudges this), they are all taken to a hotel where they are isolated in their individual rooms and not allowed to socialize. I've also...

    2025 Skate Canada Int'l in Saskatchewan & 2026 Canadians in Gatineau QC

    Olivia Bistro, which is next door to Moca Loca, has really yummy food (soups, salads, etc.) as well. I think they have a small dine in area, but mostly do take out. https://oliviabistro.com/en

    2025 Skate Canada Int'l in Saskatchewan & 2026 Canadians in Gatineau QC

    This is a regular occurrence in both the parking garage and the surface lot. I park in the lot for work and I have free parking about once a week.

    2025 Skate Canada Int'l in Saskatchewan & 2026 Canadians in Gatineau QC

    There is also a restaurant, Le 1973. It’s fine, I’ve eaten there a few times for work lunches, etc. Pricey, but what isn’t these days? Website appears to be French only: https://www.le1973.com/

    2025 Skate Canada Int'l in Saskatchewan & 2026 Canadians in Gatineau QC

    I work in an office building right next to the Centre Slush Puppie. There is a parking garage, I’m not sure how much it costs for the day, but it is usually quite full during the day because people who work in our building can get monthly passes for it. It will definitely empty out between 4 and...

    The Traitors

    Each season 3 or 4 (it varies) of the group are chosen on the first night to be "the traitors." The rest of the group are "the faithful." Every night the traitors murder one of the faithful to eliminate them from the game. Also every night there is a round table where the group collectively...

    No-Longer-Prince Andrew

    Removing the title of Prince would involve King Charles issuing a new Letters Patent defining who is entitled to be called HRH or Prince/Princess (the current definition of HRH stems from the Letters Patent issued by George V in 1917). I think Charles is unlikely to do that, partly because he...

    Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

    Sorry for the double post, but this is a different topic. Most European royal families have "working royals" (that is, people who have no other job other than being royal, participating in ceremonial and constitutional duties, etc.). It is usually only the monarch and his or her immediate...

    Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

    Prince Andrew has announced he will give up using his Duke of York title and other honours. The real question is is this actually his choice or was he ordered to do it? https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/prince-andrew-buckingham-palace-9.6942851

    Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

    I have wondered if part of the reaction from the royals was to them (her) trying to monetize the Sussex title, when Harry is the current Duke of Sussex, but it is not his title alone. It belongs to the crown, there have been Dukes of Sussex before him, there will be others after him (Archie...

    Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

    I don’t love the colour, but it’s fine and why not try something different? But to me it’s the volume and texture that’s off, it’s just too big and poofy and messy. I guess it makes sense if she has some new extensions … I’ve heard before that she wears them, but I don’t know enough about hair...

    Pin/unpin

    It depends on how you use the board, too. I almost exclusively use the “new posts” function and read the threads I’m interested in from the search results. So a thread where I have the OP on ignore won’t show up in that and it’s an extra number of steps to remember I’m interested in a specific...

    The mystery of the disappearing teaspoons

    I used to argue with my then seven year old about "you need a matching pair of socks" until one day they challenged me: "Why? Why do my socks need to match?" And I thought about it and realized I didn't have a good answer. They are eleven now and I don't think they've worn matching socks since...

    Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

    I've seen that reported for years. I did a google search just now and she reportedly told someone at a polo match years ago that she was allergic to horses, but was trying to increase her exposure to them in order to lessen the allergy. She's been photographed sneezing at various events...
