Netflix signed up WWE in a multi-billion dollar deal, but why? Should people be as upset as they are about Margot Robbie’s Barbie Oscars nomination snub and finally, inside Jeff Bezoz’s 60th birthday party. All that and a little bit more on The Traitors with Marina and Richard on this episode of…

Bob the builder is gonna build "The Wall"…

Can't imagine TKO undermining the best week of publicity WWE have had in years (Netflix, The Rock, Royal Rumble) by leaking the fact that their Executive Chairman is an alleged sex trafficker.
They wanted him as a figurehead and thought the 2022 revelations had all blown over.
Great episode as always. The new section divider bits are a bit lame and unnecessary. I like it better if there were more natural segues.
While I agree Margot Robbie probably didn’t deserve the nomination, it is crazy that Greta Gerwig didn’t get a nomination as the director when she directed one of the biggest movies of the year.
The academy really watched the movie about society not allowing women to be successful, and then decided to only nominate one woman for the Best Director Oscar.
I'm sick of arguing with people about the Barbie thing. Robbie's performance wasnt Oscar worthy (imho).
Ari Emanuel has quite rightly been held to the fire over Vince's behaviour
This is the first of many law suits that will account for 13m of the 15m he payed out and got the victims to sign illegal NDAs the company has been tainted and Netflix must be out of their minds if they didn't see this coming . They've shifted money away from original content to fuel this deal which I believe they got played is good for WWE but it may spell trouble for them because Raw is a weekly show pulling in 2m viewers which is 3 times less than 30yrs ago its not growing as it did as kids have moved away from the product
I watched this episode earlier today, before which I knew nothing of the details of the allegations against McMahon (don't think I've spelt that right)/WWE. I have now heard some details of what is aleged. The allegations are hanious and given that this is not the first time he has had allegations of this sort of nature against him and he preemptively resigned adds to the stink. Others within WWE are implicated on an individual basis as well as the organisation as an entity, as it is alleged details were shared around about the acuser to 'stars' within WWE + people wishing to join up, which could only be to humiliate and keep her subjugated.
Given all of this, where was Netflix's due diligence?

In my mind this tarnishes WWE as an entire entity – with this in mind, can I ask that you refrain from expressing your enjoyment of WWE until the case has gone through its process. I feel its respectful. I'm not one who can separate the work and those responsible & whether you agree with that way of engaging with the world or not, I say, come on, it's wresting, light entertainment + not important in the grander scheme of things. There's plenty of other shiney plastic rubbish out there if you want entertainment, which hopefully wouldn't require you to suppress any moral considerations.
Please consider the wider picture, light entertainment is not as important as treating people with basic decency.
Have the panel ever been lost in France?
The thing was Molly didn't know if Jaz or Harry were traitors, they could have both been faithfuls. She could have interpreted Jazz's vote to continue to banish as Jaz being mistaken or greedy (split the money between fewer people). Interestingly, Jaz had been playing the most logical game amongst the faithfuls and Molly the most social game and both made it to the end. Harry was good at shutting down arguments against him – he'd put his case once and that was it – no further arguments – and the discussion moved on to someone else, seemingly vindicating him no matter how bad his case was.
I think it will definitely help in the UK. We will get Raw, Smackdown, NXT and PPV all included for a fraction of the cost of the WWE Network and TNT Sports costs. I already got rid of TNT and in January the Network may as well go.
If the experience for existing customers of Netflix is impacted negatively by the pricey acquisition of WWE, I'd expect an exodus. What was the last must watch Netflix original? If the quality of output Netflix became renowned for continues to diminish, I doubt many will keep their subscription for 'roid raging, latex clad, amateur actors dispensing inferiorly scripted drama. Chewing gum for the eyes. They've already wrecked a dead cert intellectual property in The Witcher – seemed harder to mess up than succeed. Disney+ will gain further ground I suspect.
Truly despicable man! Not talked enough about is the man's obsession with 'BBC' in his depraved texts to her – just f***ing weird, some Roger Stone behaviour there (look it up)!
Oh wow! Neil Morrissey from Men Behaving Badly is the voice of Bob the Builder?
I had no idea?
Dizzy is a girl and Lofty and Wendy have been there from the beginning
Omg his name is pronounced Mc-Man!
Weird question I hope it can be a fun topic of conversation. What happened to the magician tv specials
In 2022 Vince stepped down over allegations of embezzling company money to cover the costs of $19m worth of NDAs, he later managed to maneuver himself back to preside over the sale to Endeavor and the formation of TKO, however the fallout was that he assumed Janel Grant must have been the one to leak the info, so he stopped paying her, having only paid $1m of the $3m cost of that NDA. there is no proof that it was her though, so with the terms of the NDA broken, she has filed a civil suit, the details of which are beyond grim and on the text messages alone, Vince is done and that's without acknowledging the $18m of other NDAs nobody knows the details of.
The traitors finale was so good it has me wondering was it fixed.
what do you mean save??
Vince McMahon, who is an evil bastard in Kayfabe, but somehow manages to be an even more evil bastard in real-life.
