Flatland has been gripped by viewing fever during January, whilst the normally-moribund Flatland Broadcasting Corporation has screened the second series of 'The Flatterers'. The original twenty-two contestants had been whittled down, by a combination of treacherous acts and uninformed banishments, to a quintet of three Flavourfuls (goodies) and two Flatterers (baddies).
After Flavourful Evie was ejected, the remaining four had to eliminate at least one Flatterer. On his ejection, Andrew revealed himself to be a Flatterer. Did any remain, to plunder the prize pot of 95,000 Flatcoins? Flavourful Jaz thought so, and was the only one of the three to vote to continue the game. Whom would Flavourful Mollie vote to eject? Her long-time mate Harry, or thoughtful Jaz?
A nanosecond of logical thought would have led her to conclude that, had Jaz been a Flatterer, he would have voted to end the game. Therefore Harry was the Flatterer. Alas, this was too much for her fevered brain, and she banished her last fellow Flavourful, handing the pot to scheming Flatterer Harry.
Mollie's fury at Harry's treachery was a wonderful moment. Will future contestants learn from her humiliation?
