Strangely given the ratio of traitors being caught, I would have seduced rather than murdered last night and picked an awful obvious person to be a traitor. Like Alexander or Frankie. That gives another easy person to throw under the bus of needs be.

Also both current traitors had modest plans for their winnings. One had a safari and IVF and the other wanted a honeymoon. Both could be achieved on 25k rather than needing 50k for example. The risk of sharing 3 ways reducing their winnings wasn't so heavy.

What's interesting to me is that Minah is the first traitor that I've seen (in all three series) talk openly about sharing the money. I must say that I've been surprised at this because, once it gets down to the last six or seven, the traitors can easily manipulate it so they're the last two standing. All they have to do is agree to vote for the same person - someone who's already on the hitlist - and it's done. When it's the last three or four, they can just pick anyone. But no traitor has done this yet: in the first series, the traitors lost and the second series, they would have lost if Millie hadn't been such a dimwit.

If I were a traitor, I'd much rather have a guaranteed share of the pot than risk everything and leave with nothing, but obviously that's not a universal desire.

You could end up with this

But they'd know you brought them in with the intention of sacrificing them, so they'll make others know who the traitors are.

There are 7 people left. If Charlotte and Minah can avoid one banishment (and neither got a vote last time) then there'll be in the final 5. That's very close.

Claudia suggested there is some shenanigans to come so dont be surprised if the producers put a spanner in the works
A superpower!

The Faithful only won the first series because a recruit (can’t remember his name) threw Wilf under the bus.
The odds are stacked in favour of the Traitors.

In one of the other series we’ve watched (Canada or NZ), the ‘superpower’ someone won, was to have TWO VOTES at the the round table. From what I recall it didn’t have much effect.

That’s not very super!

That was Kieran, and the reason he threw Wilf under the bus was because Wilf recruited him and then called him a traitor. That's exactly why I'm saying you shouldn't recruit someone if your intention is to then sacrifice them.

But more than that, it's just f***ing stupid. A stupid gimmick that the traitors should be above. It's a simple recipe that works, don't f*** with it.

We were guessing last night and we wonder if it was a clue or a double vote. It will only have an effect of there is a close vote and the one you want gone is in that list. Unless you are a traitor who has it in which case yo7 could agree with fellow traitor and be 3 votes up against a faithful already and only needing to persuade one or 2 more which in this series seems easy if all you do is pick a random idiosyncrasy and make it personal a la leanne. That way it's almost a double murder

Series two had an almost identical ending with Andrew doing exactly the same thing at the end but Harry just about got his way out of it

Only because Molly was too stupid to follow basic logic.

Lets play that again in slow motion, ....

Three players left... they can vote to share as they are, OR another round of elimination.
Molly is the hapless Faithful, at the key to this.
Jaz : Wants another round of elimination,
Harry: wants to end it now.
As a Traitor would claim everything, it is in a Traitor's interest to "end it now". It is NOT in a Traitors interest to want another round of elimination, as they KNOW who the traitors are .

Therefore .... Molly HAS to know that Jaz is not a Traitor OR both Jaz and Harry are traitors, (which means she cannot win anyway). This means that logically, her only vote has to be to eliminate Harry.

But - in one of the most bizarre acts of stupidity Ive seen on telly in years ....she votes Jaz out.

Molly allowed herself to get emotionally involved, thinking her best mate would never lie to her.
