[MERGED] The Exiled One

The Exiled One is a former panelist whose identity remains deliberately obscured in the archive record. Their sole appearance in documented material is as a reference point for exclusion — they are invoked by Psyche in the opening of "WOW! Ghostober Continues! What Could Happen Next?" as a figure who has been removed from the rotation, their absence made conspicuous by the host's enigmatic acknowledgment.

The Exiled One enters the record not through direct presence but through negation. In the Ghostober episode, Psyche's opening remarks suggest a deliberate severance — the unnamed panelist is addressed in a manner that indicates prior relationship and subsequent rupture. The host's refusal to name them directly, and the casual deployment of the term "chooch" (a colloquial slur), suggests the exclusion was handled with a mixture of dismissiveness and intentional vagueness, as if naming them would grant undesired attention. The tone indicates no lingering warmth, but rather the swift administrative removal of an irritant from an otherwise functioning system.
