Kriste's Read Lands Wrong
Kriste turns Madeline's stray comment into a confession, and the table follows her straight off a cliff.
Madeline Banished, And She Was Faithful
A shield holder sent home on bad optics, revealed Faithful the second the votes are read. First blood, wrong target.
Breakfast opened on an empty chair: Kim Daily, the Houston lawyer who entered the castle posing as a college basketball coach, was the season's first murder. At the Round Table the group never found its footing. Victor drew fire for grabbing a shield and for sweating through every accusation, answering with an instantly iconic "I'm a sweaty boy!" that turned heat into sympathy. The real damage came from Kriste, who seized on Madeline's offhand remark about feeling bad for Kim and framed it as good as a confession. The votes split 13 for Madeline, 7 for Victor, 1 for Kriste. Madeline was banished, and revealed as a Faithful. The cast burned its first vote on an innocent. The episode ended mid-cliffhanger, with Katie and Xavier still hunting the death warrants that decide who becomes the third Traitor and who becomes a casket.

First one out at the first Round Table
DRAFT PROFILE
Number 7 of 22 on our preseason board, in tier B alongside 5 other players.
That is a bet on how many points Madeline is worth to a fantasy roster, which is not the same bet as who wins. Points come from missions, shields, surviving the Round Table and calling a Traitor correctly, so a loud player who gets banished in episode six can outscore a quiet one who reaches the end.
Ranked before the premiere, from the cast announcement and nothing else. Nobody involved has seen a frame of the season.
BEFORE THEY PLAYEDWanted to stay Faithful
Madeline said they would rather stay Faithful. Read it as a preference for playing the game straight and hunting rather than hiding. It is the more exposed wish of the two: a Faithful has to be right in public, repeatedly, and a Traitor Madeline would be starting from a position they did not want.
What they told the cameras before filming, not a spoiler and not a prediction. Casting decides who wears the cloak.
IN THE CASTLE
A shared age, home state or trade is the first shortcut a Round Table reaches for.
- One of five players aged 26, in a cast running from 23 to 65.
Logan Smith
Mark Zgoda
Victor Vollbrechthausen
Wyatt Gillespie - One of two players from California.
Arisa Thomas - Six of the twenty-two said before filming that they would rather stay Faithful. These are the other five.

BIO
A construction manager from San Diego, and one of only three players who said outright they want to be Faithful. "I am a team player and good at the social game." She packed sage and a journal, and she has a line for any Round Table that gets curious: "I want them wondering where I got my outfit, not where I just was." Construction management is coordinating people who all think their part is the important one, which is a mission in miniature.
🎯 FANTASY TAKE
Construction management is logistics plus people management under a deadline, which is a mission brief. Expect them to be effective and visible in equal measure. In this format the second half of that sentence usually decides the first.
STRATEGY
Expect them to organise a mission and inherit the credit and the target with it.
