[TV] The Traitors - BBC

[Triggaaar]

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.

I don't think picking Alexander is good, as it's basically setting him up as a fall guy, and he could turn on Minah for that.

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

Definitely not. Otherwise, Minah could drop her in it, and say her accent slipped.

To keep choosing women is clever. People will start to vote blokes, purely on the basis that ‘at least one traitor must be a man, surely?’

Watching the Traitors Uncloaked, I think it’s a shame that Fozia was murdered. She is a real character who would’ve made an excellent traitor.

I was so disappointed. I know it was non-staged 50:50 call when the life card was revealed, but I just knew the longstanding bloke would stay.

May be something going on with Alexander? He was the only one not reacting when Linda was (finally) exposed and then could be seen wandering off on̈ his own. He might withdraw from the game, or else have been set up for another role.

This will be an interesting test of his and Leanne's training (one as a diplomat and the other as a combat soldier)

I have to say that her behaviour didn't seem great under pressure.

His should be addressing what to do when people who you work with lose trust in you.

Mind you the vicar isn't putting her skills into practice and Linda's performance skills didn't seem to indicate a stage trained person.

The surviving three from the death card game - really should have been working together to explain that the game was pure chance, and thus the traitors couldn’t have risked putting one of their own into it.

Surely if it had been down to two and one was a traitior, they would have stopped the game and the faithful told “hard luck”. The other two wouldn’t know if that’s how it ended.

That's what Alexander was trying to say. That it was a chance game up to the point he left but didn't know what happened after.

But the hard of thinking in the group were all talking over him. It's interesting that some are now into minah. At the current rate it will take 4 more episodes til they vote her out

I was thinking that. IMHO the tactic is not to look for behaviour among the participants but think who may have been picked (I'd have had one of the sisters in my sights from Day 1, for that reason). I'd now be thinking about a bloke, so I think that choosing Charlotte is a genius move. Consequently, I reckon it will be Alexander for the chop next.

Leanne : If anyone else has anything they'd like to put to me, say it now

Alexander: Well, yes, actually I have something I'd like to raise

Leanne:

On Uncloaked, they said Leanne is an army officer, not ex-soldier as per the captions in the game.

Yeah, I didn't get that either. It was an obvious thing to explain to the others.

Also, Charlotte pretending she is Welsh is a good indicator that she likes, and should be good at, a bit of deception.

Yup. He was also left sitting alone at the Round Table while the others left. May have just been upset by Leanne's unjustifiably vicious attack on him, though, and the fact his best mate was murdered. Or rethinking his strategy.

This show is still fascinating even in its third season. I'm still team Minah but she is now coming under some serious pressure and she is perceptive enough to see it. I am really looking forward to seeing how the Traitors try to deflect the heat and can Charlotte be an asset. Alexander will be an obvious target for the next banishment but I do think Leanne has finally opened the door on suspicion for her also, the faithful do not tend to react well to roundtable meltdowns.

 

[Audax]

They haven't got rid of Freddie?

True that - my mistake. What they did effectively do is remove him as a target for banishment / cloak to hide behind, which is what I was thinking. (Although does look like he might be back on the radar for a couple).

Surely if it had been down to two and one was a traitior, they would have stopped the game and the faithful told “hard luck”. The other two wouldn’t know if that’s how it ended.

Not so sure on that. If you remember the "dungeon" bit in season 2, it was made clear that a Traitor *could* be murdered as an outcome if events played out in a way that would make it happen.

---

It's interesting that some of them are starting to look at Minah. Anna still being in the game is getting dangerous for Minah, as I think Anna won't let it go - and with others now starting to apply "why haven't I been murdered, am I being kept in by a Traitor?" as well as finally looking at how Minah has been playing the game (never the front runner, but always in the conversations keeping tabs) the sheep mentality might see her go from being completely under the radar to gone very quickly - especially if Charlotte sees it as an opportunity to cement her "faithful" status by helping get rid of her.

And yes, I'm assuming Charlotte accepts. Why would anyone refuse when the other option is being out of the game entirely? There's a big (and getting bigger) money carrot on the line, I think very few people would refuse becoming a Traitor under the circumstances.

 

[Weststander]

Overthinking it.

Look for the seldom/never upset contestants, always calm almost smirking, who don’t emotionally fight their corner when targeted.

The problem is, that would fit Alexander too. He's very understanding about people accusing him.

There was the moment yesterday where the lady shrieked "I've found the grave with the eight on it!!!!!!!!!"

As they dug and dug and dug I turned to my wife and said "Christ, that can't be right. They've buried a contestant about 4 feet down!!!!. That feels unlikely"

Then it turned out it was the number 7 and the grave number 8 was just a box with a loose lid.....which makes more sense

That's exactly what I was thinking I wondered where the breathing pipe was etc. I'm really surprised that only 1 person after that leapt on frankie being a traitor.
