I figured Dany would be the one to die eventually, given the discussion of her needing to name an heir this episode.

I've had suicidal thoughts too.

I have watched episode 13, and therefore watched the suicide. It could not possibly be further from glamorous.

I think anyone who watches the final episode is going to seriously thing twice about committing suicide – and certainly not via the method used by the character. It's graphic, and pretty traumatising to watch, and definitely looks hideously, horribly painful.

I never read the book, but I've now watched the entire series, and, valid criticisms of the structuring aside, I'm really glad it was made and that it's now out there.

I've just watched the whole thing – believe me, the actual suicide scene in the final episode is anything but glamorous. It's brutal and unflinching (the portrayal at least; I was flinching the whole way through) and really, really tough to watch.

For what it's worth, I think your points about Abigail are all correct.

I think it's meant to be clear that the beach Jane runs on is the same one as in the rape flashbacks.

I found the ending utterly baffling. Delaney has been back in England for what? A few months at the most? And been kind of a dick to everyone for the majority of that time.

It's pretty much directly taken from the book – every chapter opens with them.

It's worth remembering that the novel this adaptation is based on is set in Australia, so the names aren't necessarily as unusual as they might seem when the action is switched to America.

Not a huge surprise that Adam's pitch of "I would have saved you if it hadn't been for Hannah ruining everything" worked better on Bret and Sunday than Hannah's "I did it! I voted you out!" though.

Yes. It was clearly leaning that way even before his mom was discussed.

I think he thought it happened. Adam was pushing to vote out David. Hannah and Ken were refusing. Then suddenly at final 4…Hannah and Ken vote out David. It's not completely crazy to conclude that Adam must finally have managed to flip them. Jury perception is everything.

That was Chris's misread though – all Adam did was sit there and let him speak, which was exactly the right thing to do in the circumstances.

I think we've seen players interrupt better in this situation. A calm "is it ok if I say something here?" is probably going to be more effective than just talking over people.

I think they probably put the idol back at final 6, after the Sunday vote. It just didn't get found until final 5 – probably, ironically enough, because David's fake idol stopped Jay searching for the real one.

I'm not sure any Young Bro is ever going to get any power. They can vote them all out, barring a correct immunity idol play from Jay, and then at final 9 my guess is something like Zeke's trio and Ken's trio join forces to take out Chris's trio.

I think Michelle's two big mistakes (apart from sticking with this awful alliance in episode 2 rather than just cutting her losses with Figgy and Taylor and joining up with some better players) were not to work more on her bond with Zeke, who could probably have saved her this episode if he wanted to, and throwing

I think Zeke kind of had it right. Adam wants to be friends with the cool kids. And Adam will keep trying to be friends with the cool kids, however much they make fun of him, because Adam is just that one kid who will keep hoping that THIS TIME you're going to accept him.
