Some suggestions that I am unsure on:

1.1. (Revenge (2011))

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/98670732f8c582741fb77614cc928b8c.jpg

1.2. (The Queen's Gambit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/57594136.jpg

1.3. (Smallville)

Other suggestions are welcome because it was hard to find images for this with live action stuff.

Is 1.2 even an example? This Image Is Not an Example applies, of course, but it doesn’t even metaphorically demonstrate manipulation, like in the image on the main page. Others aren’t doing it for me either.

[up] I don't really know. It is listed on the page at least.

Somehow didn’t notice it when I first looked through the page… saw the show when it was popular, and while I don’t recall too much, I’m uncertain about that example; seems to be taking the title too literally. Though it might be just me.

[up] Fair. I have never actually seen it personally. I just saw that it was on the page.

The Queen's Gambit is taking-the-title-too-literally misuse (she is pointedly not very adept at much outside chess), I am removing the example. (Maybe we should avoid relying too much on actual chess for the images.)

I also don't think it is a good illustration, she doesn't look manipulative or strategic or anything.

[down]Well... images are optional :-)

13 is good, but I don't think it needs to be cropped on the top like that.

Or just that the Masterpiece Theatre mention removed but keeping the title:

There's enough consensus for the idea, so 18.2 is in and tagged; caption?
