I’d like him or Jake to win as I found their backstories the most moving.

I thought he wanted Frankie to pick him?
And is there anyway Frankie can play it other than tell the other three that Charlotte is a traitor?
If the producers allowed (they shouldn't), then technically Charlotte and Frankie could draw up a legally binding contract that Charlotte had to split it.
If it was a final 3 of 2 faithful and 1 traitor, the faithful 2 would have to vote out the traitor, or they'd get nothing.
Not really. An off the books deal with Charlotte is not in the spirit of the game, so she has to tell everyone.

Yes and that shows the role of chance in this game...and also in football and life more generally. Leanne also a crap player but has got this far.

That's what I think. Her winning the Seer prize is a poisoned chalice now she's picked the Traitor to reveal herself.

She is the Stephane Guivarch* of the Traitors.
*Sorry, couldn't think of a more contempory example of a very mediocre player in an otherwise incredible team that won a major trophy, but I'm sure this thread could go off on a tangent with examples.

Think she has to keep quiet so they vote at least one faithful out otherwise the pot is split between 4. She’d be mad to call Charlotte out now as she’d risk that being turned against her.
Frankie is at risk still, I would imagine she needs faithfuls that seem above suspicion gone. So if the group see her and Charlotte as faithfuls then Jake, Alexanda or Leanne can be banished next vote.

It's actually quite fascinating.
I think Alexander is smart enough to realise if Frankie was a traitor she would have called him in and tried to get an alliance with him.
As she hasn't he can align with whoever she wants to vote off and have a high possibility of voting off the others, if they choose to continue.
It's whether Frankie will ever trust him enough
If she kept quiet just to get one more person out, that she knew was (almost certainly) a faithful - and THEN announced to the final 4 that she knows Charlotte is the traitor - that would look as suss as f***, and they'd chuck her straight out.

It's going to look suss anyway. She has some suspicion on her already, so turning up and saying 'Charlotte is a traitor' and Charlotte saying 'I am not, clearly Frankie is as I told her I'm a faithful' - it's not a great hand anyway, and it basically is just a match up between the two of them next round table., rather than taking your chances further on. Not that I'm taking it at all seriously.....

It’s not as easy as that. You’re just speculating on what might have happened. We don’t know. For instance, by not murdering Leanne it might increase suspicion on those who knew she had a shield, and correspondingly decrease suspicion on Freddie and Alexander. Maybe not by big amounts but enough to complicate the calculations.
Who is most likely to leave the game is not so important to me. It all comes down to the final three and whether they vote to share the money or gamble/double cross and hope to be left with the pot. That is 100% unpredictable.

Yeah I think it is fanciful to think the winner would split it with you. Sure they might agree to it at the time. But when they get home and lay in bed thinking "well I can pay 50k off my mortgage and buy a nice car and go on holiday for a month" or I can do one of these things, because I've split the cash. Realistically people are not going to follow through.
I've given up working out what makes a good player.
From a faithful's PoV, it is all guesswork. If it wasn't, they wouldn't leave alone the second most voted suspect and move onto new suspects so readily and literally every single day. Ok, Jake marked Linda from day one, but he's been utter gash on everything else. It shows the random nature of it all.
From a traitor's PoV, the best ones stay under the radar but not too far under the radar. But suddenly they fall under the microscope and can be gone as easily as any faithful.
Bottom line - the only way to give yourself a chance of winning is to a) be aggressive in the round table, and b) deflect discussion rather than invite people to talk about why or why not you're a traitor. Faithful's can't easily control how much of a threat they are perceived to be, or influence the traitor's tactics that might involve you being murdered.
It is tricky. They could vote out Charlotte and Frankie, and then vote out Alexander to be sure. Brutal.

That's what I am saying. A traitor can win the lot but a faithful cannot, the best they can do is share 50/50
I agree, although I'd split it

I think Francesca's only option is to say say Charlotte is a faithful. If Charlotte is outed as a traitor then her only option is to say it's a lie and Francesca is likley to be taken down with her.
If Francesca lies and says Charlotte is a faithful, Charlotte is forced to go along with it with the slight hope that they can turn on Francesca. More likely is that they bin Alexander first, then she has to assess her options with only 2 other faithfuls and Charlotte remaining. It could be that she then choses the moment to out her, or alternatively see if she can play it out.
