If We Could Sing To The Animals

Animals seem to be affected by music. Studies suggest that playing calming music to cows, such as classical or a soft beat style of music, can increase milk volume by relaxing them. 

Humans are emotionally affected by music in a way we perhaps don't fully understand. Types of music affect people differently but music that we enjoy releases dopamine that lifts us up. I wonder why animals seem to like it? 

As mentioned, softer music is the sort they are attracted to. The video below shows animals being drawn to music and to the musician. It must give the performer a warm feeling to get that reaction. 

Two Ways To Look At Things

Beauty is skin deep....

but an ugly personality goes all the way to the bone. 

Everyone has morals...until there's money involved.

Democracy sounds wonderful...until you talk to a voter.

We are all born optimists...then we discover inhumanity.

Liars are impossible to spot...until they trip themselves up.

We are all born self-centred...but some learn to be selfless.

We may not be understood...

but simply raising our voice won't help.

Idealists are loved during a revolution...but become a nuisance afterwards.

A sincere person can be trusted...but some are good at faking it.

We all know there is a time to say nothing...the tricky part is knowing when.

The Celebrity Traitors UK : 2025 (Summary & Spoilers)

The celebrity US versions had cliques based on their celebrity history and they got to keep the prize money. 

The UK version had a broader coverage of celebrities and all the winnings went to a charity. In that sense, it didn't matter so much who won because the prize would go to a worthy cause. 

That said, I'm a 'Faithfuls' supporter, so I always prefer it if they win. However, it became apparent very early on that the 'Traitors' were going to do well. 

They were a varied and a complimentary mix of personalities. The Faithfuls were very good at mistaking their own as traitorous, therefore banishing them.  

At one point, I thought the three traitors were going to go the whole way but later on the Faithfuls did get one before returning to form and the ill directed carnage continued. When you know the truth, it can be frustrating to watch.

With five remaining, two of the three original traitors were still there. A second traitor was despatched but at this point the departing player cannot reveal their role in the game. So how many were left? 

The last traitor and three Faithfuls left. One faithful had it sussed and expected to remove the last traitor. He didn't defend himself at the last vote when accused by the last traitor of being such. That failure meant the two other faithful turned on him.

They all voted to end the game and split the winnings for their respective charities. Eh, no. The traitor took the prize pot for his charity as per the rule that any traitor not voted off wins. I was happy the two last Faithfuls missed out as I didn't think they simply didn't deserved to win. 

PS. I have watched 16 series of The Traitors, the 'Faithfuls' have won seven and the 'Traitors' nine. When Faithfuls win, there will be between two and four winners, When the Traitors win, there will be between one and three. When the Faithfuls have won those shows, the average number of winners is nearly three. When the traitor wins, they are most likely alone.
