The Traitors

I reckon they’ll go with Amol over James Acaster and then try for the double bluff angle of ā€œwhy would I kill him when he was my biggest accuser?ā€ I’m not sure if it’ll work though, that moment between Richard and Joe Lycett was so weird I think it’ll be difficult for him to brush off entirely.

Speaking personally, not very excited by the traitor picks regardless of who the third one is, I feel just about anyone else would have been more interesting than the two Claudia picked. Hopefully I’m wrong and they make for an engaging trio together with whoever the other is (or they’re caught fairly quickly and some more left-field people are recruited).

Idk, I think Maya is a genius choice and she’ll play a good game. I’m mainly just gutted that whoever they’ve chosen to join them (I think probably Amol), we won’t get to see Amol ratting out traitors. It would have made a great watch, I love that man.This text will be blurred

A great episode. I laughed out loud so many times. REG was hilarious and I hope they manage to keep him in. I think they missed a trick not making Bella Ramsay a traitor. I think they would have played a blinding game. For game playing I think they would be better recruiting Amol, but for sheer entertainment value, I’d love to see James recruited as a traitor, as I think he’ll find lying too difficult.

I really hope they choose Amol but think it’ll be James. Richard was stressing me out but so funny, he was one of my picks to be a traitor!! I agree with the user above I think Bella was a good pick too, they’ll go under the radar I think so could be a good recruitment later this series. I suspect unlike last year we’ll get some recruitment(s). In case people didn’t pick up on it in the show or know them, Bella uses they/them pronouns exclusively!

Thanks @blossom for picking me up on my pronoun use. I was aware of Bella’s preference, but I was careless above. I’ll edit the post above to correct it, but will leave this here as evidence of my mistake. We’re all fallible and I really do welcome help to support people’s chosen identities.

Took me a few seconds to realise whom you meant by REG, not gonna lie.

Spoiler for Friday’s episode

If Hannah is murdered because Jerry said ā€œHaggisā€ I will riot :sob:

I was fuming on Hannah’s behalf, she’s one of my favourite people in there and now she’s probably going to get murdered because Jerry couldn’t lie in a hole for a few minutes :enraged_face: There’s always a chance they kill Jerry to try and cast suspicion on Hannah I guess, but after she made that absolutely great point about the traitors not being comfortable at the roundtable I don’t think you can easily spin her as a traitor.

I was surprised it didn’t explode into an Adam Thomas-Jimmy Bullard type of situation. I guess the fact that the mission hadn’t really started properly, whereas with the latter Adam Thomas had already done his part of the trial on I’m A Celeb South Africa, probably helped.

I am so nervous about what happens tonight :weary_face:

I’m so glad she stayed in and even more glad she got recruited, definitely makes the game a lot more exciting! I have a feeling she’s not going to last very long though unfortunately, I’d be surprised if either of the other traitors go first (then again who knows, this show is always very hard to predict :sweat_smile:)

That being said, my favourite so far is probably Miranda, I loved her already and then the way she immediately clocked Richard and Hannah as traitors, what a legend! I’d love to see her and Joe get to the end, they’re the two I’m rooting for besides Hannah.

I’m abroad currently so my wife and I have to wait until Monday when I’m back! You’re right it’s infuriating - but thanks everyone for the blurs, I’m very grateful!

Brilliant episode.

Glad that Hannah accepted the recruitment because she’s great.

I hope they don’t murder James because he’s vital to the missions and has some wild theories which could help throw suspicion elsewhere. I desperately want Miranda to get to the end and she also could make herself a target for murder with her Marpling all over the place.

I think Bash is a better choice just because the randomness will throw the group.

And also, I almost died laughing at James’ shower shot. ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  hilarious!
