The Traitors

I think the ex soldier who lost his leg is the soundest one in it.

Paul is so arrogant can't wait to see him gone.

Paul is grinding on me now. Harry and Miles might realise soon that he would throw them under the bus without pausing for breath. I do think Paul will talk himself into a banishing though.

Zach is proving to be a clever one but no one really listens to him.

Yes but Miles just looked like he went along with group but not fully sure, it was actually a great move by him.

Jaz has put 2 and 2 sort of together re-Paul and Harry, but I doubt anything will come from it unless he grows a pair (puts himself at risk) and manages to convince others.

I mean I call the Faithfuls thick as fck every series I have *watched but to be honest if I was in there, which would be without the benefit of being a viewer, I'd probably make crappy decisions as well like banishing someone for winking differently or something equally ridiculous (to a viewer)

The actual rock bottom thickest point of this series was that the vast majority of faithfuls didn't think Paul's survival was a bit suspicious at all even though seconds before he waltzed in they'd all said that they 100% expected him to be murdered! but no, he 'couldn't possibly be a bad 'un, he's soooo luvverly'

*The only one where I think the faithfuls were all *genuinely* thick as pigshite was Ozzie Series 2 [RIP]

Paul sort of outed Harry as a fellow traitor to Jaz who needs to speak up more at the table discussion about Paul, like how is being kept as popular and loud "not killed" and I was sure Anthony, Charlie and Zack were also suspicious of Paul, Charlotte is useless and Jasmine just keeps going for shields, psychic Tracy knew nothing

I hope there is a twist and Diane didn't drink

Paul, Miles and Harry were missing together and then Miles returns with a chalice, someone surely copped something

Paul gave Harry away in his chat with Jaz, he’s so cocky it didn’t even occur to him what he was doing. But all the banished Faithful seem genuinely shocked to learn Harry is a traitor when it’s revealed to them so I can see him going all the way. After last night Miles is starting to look very shifty after flying under the radar so far, but I think they’ll start to turn their attention towards him.

Notice Paul called out Miles' absolute laziness on the task to the whole team and to a few of the faithful individually.

That's both Harry and Miles he's fingered in one episode.

I thought Zack was suss on Paul but then was tunnelled on Anthony

If Jaz speaks what he knows to Diane, Ross, Charlie and Zack he might get them on side

This is the type of show you just wanna binge - saw the first 3 episodes of the US version (much better clued on to the traitors)

God almighty what a brilliant twist tonight!

I wonder did they just add that twist because the faithfuls were so woeful at identifying traitors.

Now that was episode of the series I think.

I was praying Ross would be so overcome from seeing his mammy 'buried' thast he'd blurt out 'mum' at some stage during the roundtable as his X Factor-like interview sounded corny as hell.

By the way, Diane was ANYTHING but brilliant at the game and definitely wasn't a 'huge threat' like she's been made out. She had a bob haircut, a Norn Irish accent and wide apart eyes - that's it!

And her son Ross is even worse at the game (and also has wide apart eyes)

Miles actually impressed me a bit - went from slovenly waster/doormat to having a few minutes of seemingly putting the smug, punchable but not very clever Paul under some pressure at the roundtable, fair play. Hopefully but doubtfully, the pressure furthers on Paul tomorrow. I think Jaz or Evie will be under the spotlight more in tomorrow's episode.

Harry is without doubt the real kingpin Traitor and has been since day 1, hope he wins the cash.

I think the one they should recruit is either Ross or Andrew - they be easy lambs to the slaughter though I think they'll pick Zack (which is Harry's pick)

I was hoping Paul would out go over Miles, I thought Miles had talked himself up a bit more bussing Paul and also Evie didn't overhear Diane's exact words, their faces ultimately when Paul is revealed as a traitor who they now see as the "faithful hero" should be meme worthy funny

Jaz picking Andrew when he was the most suss on Paul, wtf

Be good if the recruited refused

Harry I think deserves to win

Diane was pretty brilliant at the game not in the sense that she could identify the Traitors, but she was well liked, respected, threw herself into the tasks, was a team player through and through, and wasn't afraid to speak up at the Roundtable right from the start. She was great in that if she voiced her opinion about who a Traitor was, others listened and many would follow. She was also unlikely to ever be banished.

She was undoubtedly a threat to the Traitors because she became a figure that could sway other Faithfuls, but would have been very difficult for the Traitors to try and convince the others to banish her. And as the game got closer to the end, if she threw her eye on Paul or Harry I think she could easily have swayed enough of the other Faithfuls to vote with her.

I agree though that Miles impressed me at the Roundtable, and actually managed to hold his own against Paul. He was always a goner though. That's why the 'poison chalice' thing was a bit unfair. Once Claudia told them someone was 'poisoned' it started to become far too easy to follow the breadcrumbs back to who gave Diane a drink. There had been no suspicion on Miles but trying to get someone to drink from a specific glass under a time pressure was always going to be so clunky that it really directs a spotlight on a specific Traitor, especially when that faithful is able to walk around for half the next day and tell everyone "These are the people who gave me drinks last night". At least with the 'Kiss of Death' last series, it was an act so unnoticable, Claudia I think only said the murder happened in plain sight, and the Faithful was murdered that night and couldn't tell people about his interactions the night before.

That said, the funeral mission was really well done. Might have been better if we all didn't know who'd drank from the chalice, but even then as missions go it was a lot more entertaining than most other ones.
