I've just watched the 1st episode of series 3 having not watched this before. It seems an interesting concept; however why do TV companies insist on rounding up the weirdest, stupidest, most annoying and generally pathetic bunch of idiots for these programs?

I feel your pain.....but casting (application selection and interview) trumps everything else in reality tv (even the format) - they want the viewing audience to be annoyed with them....

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.
That would be fantastic ! The confusion..... I hadn't thought of that tactic.... the only person who would know this was a lie would be Anna (plus Minah of course, but presumably she'd clear that tactic with Minah first ). The rest would be totally confused.

I think in one of the other versions, possibly the US one, one of the traitors tried this.

All it did was bring him under more scrutiny and he was soon banished.

5 episodes later than it should’ve been bleeding obvious, finally they uncover Linda. Too confident, the obvious fake tears, smug, never passionately defending her corner when questioned.

Like The Apprentice, the competitors rarely learn from badly mistaken votes in previous weeks or from the two previous seasons. Interesting watching the power of sheep mentality. Someone will randomly say it must be Leanne based on a pile of nothing, then fly-catchers say that’s right as they join all the imaginary dots.

Gutted. I was hoping Linda would somehow stumble her way to the end.
Too confident, the obvious fake tears, smug, .
I'm amazed anyone viewed her as smug or too confident. The opposite in fact. Hilarious? Yes. But nothing bad about her character

Think it’s a mistake for Minah to limit herself to a female recruitment, I think Jake or Alexander would have been better potential picks than Charlotte personally. Maybe even Leanne would have been better.

The biggest question though is surely whether Charlotte admits to Minah that she’s not actually Welsh?

Will Charlotte accept or be murdered?

What's the point in getting murdered? You don't get to say goodbye, you don't achieve anything. Of course you accept.

You also have the advantage that people believe you're a faithful.

Nothing bad, and not smug. But she was confident about her fake tears, she was proud about having put on a show.

I don’t think Charlotte can cope with the change. I think she’ll get voted off.
