Summary
Sleep hasn't been easy for Miriam since she left the Dragon's Triangle, not with everything that happened. There aren't many people who understand what she went through, even in the Reality TV circles.
Ashley gets it, though. Sort of. She understands the fear, the pain, the hunger — the loss. The Beauty and the Nerd, now linked by the ever-so-present reminder of what they went through in that jungle. Ashley was beautiful, gorgeous even, but that archetype feels so strangely reductive now that she has truly seen her. She was still a beauty, no question about that. But she was more, so much more than that. Miriam was supposed to hate her — for what she had taken from her, how she had made her feel. Yet there was a sort of kinship between the two now, an unspoken bond they had built despite how production wanted their story to play out. Somehow, Ashley had become even more beautiful then, once the monsoon had washed away all archetypes and pretenses. It was then that she saw everything clearly.
Now they were away from all that. There was no guarantee that, without the hunger shaping their thoughts, Ashley would remember that Miriam was more than an awkward fake chemist. Maybe she was still a nerd, in her eyes.

Summary
"Really glad to see you on this tribe."
"You're glad people think I'm a villain?"
"Well, I guess I'd better say that I'm glad you're on *my* tribe."After joining forces with one of Survivor's most infamous winners, Gwendolyn Sousa learns just how dangerous it can be to trust a Villain. Time can't heal all wounds, and the scars from Heroes vs Villains still feel as fresh now as they did on the island.
Darrin Rodrick is no saint; fame and notoriety come with a cost. Now making his reality TV return in The Traitors, almost ten years later, he must face the consequences of betraying his former ally as they compete in another game of lies and deception.
Between the island and the castle, there's a lot of shared history and many things left unsaid. Can reconciliation come when treachery lurks at every corner?
