From @TheAthletic: For 40 years, Duke has been college basketball’s most polarizing team. People love to hate Duke. But has Duke basketball become less hateable? Perhaps, maybe, even likable? nyti.ms/47jRjJy

Season four of ‘The Traitors’ marked the Housewives-iest season yet. A record five alumnae from Bravo’s ‘Real Housewives’ franchise were cast, and for the first time, two of them — soap actress turned ‘Beverly Hills’ gadabout Lisa Rinna and the loquacious Candiace Dillard Bassett of ‘Potomac’ — were selected to be Traitors together. The Housewives have been a logical feeder system for ‘The Traitors’ for several reasons, not least of which being corporate synergy between Bravo and Peacock. Plus, when it comes to drama, Housewives are self-starters; if there isn’t interpersonal conflict in the castle, they’ll create it, if only to fill a void. “But after last week’s lackluster reunion, it became clear that the Housewives don’t want to play ‘The Traitors,’” Joe Reid writes. “They want to play ‘The Real Housewives of the Highlands’ and have arguments that spill out into social media, then meet up for a Housewives-style reunion with their patron, Andy Cohen. The contrast this season couldn’t have been clearer: Rob Rausch played a near-perfect game, while Lisa and Candiace made mistakes (as most ‘Traitors’ contestants do, to be fair), then spent the better part of two months telling any Instagram follower or podcast host who would listen about how they were betrayed in a game where that’s *literally the name of the game*.” Read Reid on why we need to put the Housewives in ‘Traitors’ time-out for a no-Housewives season: nymag.visitlink.me/kTx2bC
