The book a flatmate gave me at 23 that I've reread 7 times

Josh Packham went out the night before the Grand Finale of The Traitors Australia, and Krissy's vote helped send him. Now he is at her table, and he tells her she was next. The plan from the car, the contract clause that had him doubting his own twin, and a shag, marry, murder pick he calls vindictive.

What happens when the faithfuls, not the traitors, are the ones who send you home? Australian Idol's Cosima De Vito walked into the manor with a commerce degree, her own record label and no game plan, having never watched a single episode. Three days later she was banished. Cosima reveals why she gravitated to Dicko the second he stepped out of the car, the breakfast where she "became all wog on everyone", the moment she found out it was the faithfuls who kept Cam Merchant out for the money, and why she could not play the game after that. Krissy Marsh was at that table too, and admits she clocked Kirby Bentley on day one and was ready to write her name down. Together they break down what it actually takes to be a traitor: a poker face, a bit of an arsehole, and the way Kirby meets every person at their level so nobody ever feels played. Plus, why Cosima could never vote against Dicko or Rob Farnham, the Rachael Evren run-in that had Krissy fighting for her life, what her daughter Amelia said when she got home, and the day she said no to The Voice.

How do you survive six episodes in the manor by staying completely invisible? MasterChef star Alvin Quah reveals his under-the-radar strategy, the genuine fear he experienced at the round tables, and the exact meaning behind the private code he ran with Kirby Bentley. He reveals the exact meaning behind the 'volcano' code, what really happened when Gamble Breaux caught him hiding, and his most controversial regret from the game. Krissy was in the manor too, bringing firsthand perspective to the night AJ Antonios turned on him. Plus, Alvin speaks openly about the intense anxiety and overwhelm of reality television.

What happens when you are banished before you even enter the manor? Cam Merchant reveals the brutal reality of being the first player eliminated from The Traitors Australia, detailing exactly what it felt like to sit under a hood and listen to the cast vote to keep him out for $10,000. Krissy Marsh was sitting at that exact table, and now they break down the betrayal face-to-face. Plus, Cam reveals his true thoughts on Shane Gould's blindfolded spin and shares how surviving the devastating Boxing Day tsunami completely reshaped his perspective on life, resilience, and reality television.

Why do Faithfuls turn on each other so quickly? Big Brother alum Tully Smyth details the intense psychological paranoia inside the manor, explaining exactly how she gaslit herself about trusted allies within the first 48 hours. Krissy and Tully break down the emotional postpartum challenge on the mountain, navigating the 'boys' club' dynamic, and judging the cast's fashion strategies. Plus, a brutal game of Shoot, Shag, or Marry with the Season 3 cast.
