The Traitors

They always think they're so smart that they must surely be who the Traitors are going to murder, even though they've likely already banished the actual smart Faithfuls just because somebody that smart might be a Traitor.

You're still here because the Traitors don't see you as a threat. Because you're a bit of a dummy.

I imagine there has to be some type of contingency for that situation. It's part of why previously with recruitments, if the person said no, there's just no murder that night. Now since there's only one Traitor left, whoever they try to recruit is murdered if they say no. It's both to try and force someone else to become a Traitor so there are at least two, and still have a murder that night if they say no to hide the fact there's only only one Traitor left.

I think Charlotte was a decent enough choice though. I'd say Minah knew if she picked Jake he'd likely turn on her. Charlotte is middle-of-the-road enough that she's had no real pressure or suspicion on her, but also would likely stick well enough with Minah.

I think going by what others have said on Traitors Uncloaked, the Faithfuls really don't want to be murdered. That's worst case scenario for them. Banishment is bad enough, but at least you get to defend yourself, say a bit of a goodbye and walk off. Murder though, you're just gone with zero agency in the decision.

Anna knew the first time she was recruited that she'd still be in the game and even though she might then be targeted by the Traitors for turning the offer down, she'd still get to go back in the game for a while. Had Minah picked her last night for another recruitment, Anna might have said yes. That said, I don't think she'd make a good Traitor at this stage anyway. I think there'd be too obvious a shift in her emotions and character that it'd be obvious to the others that something has changed.

The eyes are beginning to turn on Minah - Anna, Francesca (!), Leanne, Freddie have all mentioned her, probably one or two more.

I think her % chance of lasting and winning is dwindling rapidly unless she can pull a rabbit out of a hat.

Also, has she lost her mind only wanting females as traitors?? I didn't think Claudia's little feminist wobble last series would have had such a bad effect!

In the end, was sorry to see Linda go even though she was clearly very bad at the game at least she gave some comic relief and was disappointed Fozia went in the game of chance over wallpaper Leon.

Francesca continues to annoy me greatly between her over the top concern about everything exhibited every episode to thinking (along with the rest of them to be fair) a person was actually buried underground as they clawed at muck at the wrong grave number with time running out. So stupid.

I 'd say Jake is being murdered tonight and then more than likely Alexander being banished - pending some other faithful picking their nose at the wrong time.
