[TV] The Traitors - BBC

[Triggaaar]

I do think there is a small group of sensible Faithful in there (Alexander, Fozia, Anna, Jake) who could do it if they stay together and work together, if the Traitors don’t pick them off soon then they’ll be in trouble (especially Linda)

They are all top of the murder list. 3 of them were just in the death game, and Jake's murder has only been put on hold (but Linda should have included him).

Possibly. It's a game of chance. I might still get it back.

You won't get it back, because I'll look at my cards, and I'm obviously not willingly giving it to you.

Leon going would be a bad result for the Traitors IMHO

If it's face down and you are face down too then it's just a gamble neither would know until turned face up

It was funny seeing Minah get so upset because Dan lied to her, you've been lieing to him since day one! Bunch of hypocrites

Well now you're into proper gameplay, which none of the idiots (applies only to faithfuls) there are up to.

They all get upset for voting out faithfuls, but actually, it's not a bad thing. What is bad, is that they're doing it by accident. But what a faithful should do, is work out who a traitor is, get close to them, and tell them they're basically the only person there that they trust. They'll not murder you, and you banish them at the end.

Voting out traitors early just leads to more being recruited, and they're harder to spot because they've already learned how to behave as a faithful.

The problem is trying to get anyone else to follow the same logic.

"Let's target weak faithfuls so the traitor numbers don't dwindle and they'll be easier to spot later" sounds like something a traitor would say.

It would take some masterful manipulation to get enough people on that bandwagon. All you can really do is cosy up to your suspected traitor and wait.

I love Linda. If she won, this will have been the greatest series of any reality TV ever.

This was the best episode by some way for me, felt like the series sprang to life.

Linda is hilarious in how she's just bumbling through. She clearly doesn't understand the game (if she did, she would have voted for Dan tonight as it was clearly either him or her).

 

[Gwylan]

I can't see Linda lasting the next round table, she's been fingered now and I can't see what's going to save her.

What she should have done, once Anna wasn't seduced, was to proclaim loudly to the group "The traitors tried to recruit me last night", that would have meant that Anna was a bit skewered. She could have said "So was I" but it wouldn't have been so strong if she was second.

"Let's target weak faithfuls so the traitor numbers don't dwindle and they'll be easier to spot later" sounds like something a traitor would say.

Firstly, you don't have to get people to follow your logic. Individually they should be thinking that, but they're not smart enough. They don't have to target faithfuls, they just don't need to get the obvious traitors. Secondly, a traitor wants to get out strong faithfuls, not weak ones.

It would take some masterful manipulation to get enough people on that bandwagon. All you can really do is cosy up to your suspected traitor and wait.

Yeah I wasn't suggesting you get others on board. To get others on board you need to tell people, and you risk telling a traitor, and if your plan was working, you'd get murdered. Cosying up to a traitor is the plan. Others should also have the same plan without being told. Most won't have that plan, and that's fine.

Watching uncloaked yesterday, and Dan and Livi were guessing the traitors. Dan said 'I think there were 3 at the start, we got one, and they failed to recruit. So I think there are 3.'
Meanwhile Livi thought there were 4 or 5

Ah I see. I thought you were suspecting that they'd choose not to look, not that those would be the rules. No, the rules will be the same as before. The whole point of the game is bluffing/working out your opponent and having a poker face. There's no point in having them face down and randomly swapping cards.

She's playing it very well. Leanne stitched up Dan and played into Minah's hands.

Linda is hilarious in how she's just bumbling through. She clearly doesn't understand the game (if she did, she would have voted for Dan tonight as it was clearly either him or her).

Unless she knew that Dan was getting enough votes already? It wasn't a close vote. But Dan didn't vote for her either, so make sense of that.

No, that's way too risky. If Anna had called BS, and said she was, Anna could convince everyone that the lie proves Linda is a traitor, and if she's wrong, just banish me the following day.

Plus, Linda is terrible at acting.
