The Trust Season-Finale Recap: Reformed Tricksters


The smallest bit of gameplay occurs alongside tedious conversations about deservingness as the game finally ends.

It makes their motives feel shallow compared to the ones on a show like The Circle, where contestants come in with stories of disabilities, loss, and isolation, then strategically garner sympathy and bond through honest, open conversations with each other. We get glimpses into each person’s deliberation process and see that there are still suspicions, but this show is as simple (derogatory) as it gets: In a team of upstanding men, a “reformed trickster,” and a woman who wants as much money as possible, it’s inevitable that they will all vote to share. In their collective shock and anger (with Tolú playing along), Jake throws out some choice words about how he would never take more money than he deserves, and Julie expresses that she doesn’t feel safe anymore after she just learned not to live life in survival mode.
