The Traitors

Yeah the sisterhood doesnt count for much when it suits her.

I think Minah is very likeable. Saved Linda when she could. Playing the game very well overall.

Sisterhood very much counted but she wasn't going to attach herself to a sinking ship. She voted for both other traitors at the perfect time. If Linda or Armani were better players, she wouldn't have been in that situation. Linda was an horrendous traitor.

Bit of a ramble having watched thr last two nights.

Deathmatch game was dirt. No real recourse once losing the life card, and it was basically about maintaining a poker face. Then it was pure random for the final 1v1.

Carrot in a box would have been a much better way to approaching it, enabling players to bluff and forcing others to guess blindly based on their opponents reaction without knowing what they held. Saboteur card game does this well too.

Also, very obvious that in a game of such pure chance, the traitors wouldn't volunteer themselves, maybe there's an angle, but I would be thinking all participants were faithful - it would be different if Leon came out of final coffin saying "we won a grand but Fozia was murdered" or something to incentivise the traitors to take part.

Next, the challenge. Why time limit? Just for money. Or if they didn't get Leon was he dead? It would have been somewhat interesting if a life was at stake if over time limit. Wasted opportunity.

Also, Alexander explained the game, rather than his emotional turnoil so hes a traitor? Its like theyve lost sight of the fact its a game. He's just enjoying the fun of getting into a coffin and being put in a lake, why wouldn't he? Whereas Anna is reaxging like she didn't climb into that coffin five minutes before they arrived.

Roundtable, Anna's got the right answer despite reading the question wrong. That interaction from Minah was suspect as feck, it looked staged, no wonder Anna suspected her.

Also "Minah, I have to bring up you". Minah's reaction was so "yes, I understand" to not appear emotional, but she'd have had no visible reason to think Anna would suspect her prior. She was blindsided by the reason initially. The whole glass story was just weird, it felt very manipulated.

Linda, glorious Linda. "I'm going to that roundtable to make a point". Proceeds to dive in headfirst defending herself when everyone has pointed out that her guilt was more evident by her complete inability to point out a potential suspected traitor. Goodnight sweet princess. She was great fun throughout.

And Minah, "I need to pick a woman, for the sisterhood", where's that logic? Jake, for example just made himself invincible. A traitor wouldn't continuously point his finger at another traitor as much as he did Linda and get away with it. And while that gives him an advantage over Minah, it also gives Minah a counter-argument. Charlotte just seems a forced choice. I'd sooner have tried Anna again, and then if she rejected and was murdered by Minah, claim it was an obvious framing.

Anyway, lots of weird decisions and silly games in recent nights. Still compelling viewing

Kill Leanne.. banish Leanne..

.. I don't care, just get her out!

I thought Charlotte would be a terrible traitor but she proved me wrong on that.

Looks like she won't hesitate to bring Minah down either if it needs to be done.

Worth mentioning - Claudia had some great comments during the task!

One of the better challenges. Jake made a balls of the shield, but what's the difference anyway.

Claudia is a great presenter, fun seeing her bounce between stoic character and herself.

No real surprises with how things panned out. I might not have killed Anna. And I might not have recruited Charlotte, still maintain Jake or Anna would have been better recruits for Minah. I think Anna would fear her, and Jake would be more of a teamplayer, at least initially.
