[TV] The Traitors - BBC

[Gazwag]

It's an elaboration of a party game I used to know as Werewolf.

Each player is either a Villager or a werewolf or the gamemaster.
Each round all players apart from the werewolf, close their eyes and the werewolf silently nominates a player to be killed to the Gamemaster
The gamemaster taps that person on the shoulder.
Then everyone opens their eyes discover whose been killed and discuss who they think the werewolf is.

Or wink murder is another variation

I might be remembering it wrong but weren’t the Traitors told to name four faithfuls to do the game, and it’s only Claudia who’s since suggested it could be a Traitor in the game (similar to the Alexander / Fozia entrances)?

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

After the "you didn't tie the rope properly so you must be a traitor" scenario which happened in episode 2 or 3 when they were getting off of the boat I was expecting her to get some finger pointing at her but it didn't happen.

similar concept -I think wink murder doesn't have the round table element though. Just a detective asking questions of all participants

the version I know is that everybody sits round in a circle and the detective is blindfolded and the murderer winks at somebody to kill them. So your right everybody but one know who did it

I really really hope that's not a typo...

That version really would be a shot in the dark.

I'm starting to think Gazwag is a typo

Bubbling along nicely. Charlotte ready to betray Minah, but will see how the wind blows at the Roundtable.

Then the same old voting pattern, someone’s rounded on who gives no vibes of past (all 3 seasons) traitors, the herd follows, the herd cries.

 

[Triggaaar]

I really dislike the rule change that means the last 5 don't declare whether they're traitor or faithful when banished. This game is Charlotte's to lose. She can't get murdered, she's well trusted as a faithful, she'll get to the end and when it's time to share the money she'll take it all.

Joe is nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is

I can’t stand either Joe or Leanne and I wish they’d both get banished/murdered. They are both idiots. I can’t believe anyone ever trusted Leanne with a gun,

 

[Bish Bosh]

Leanne isn't really a nail technician and Charlotte isn't really Welsh. So Joe can't really be a teacher...can he?! I mean, would you want him teaching your kids?

As someone who goes VERY red VERY quickly in anxious moments, I properly felt for Alex when he slipped up with his wording in the kitchen and they POUNCED.

That's exactly why I couldn't go on Traitors.

There's always at least one.

That throbber, magician in the first series...... He was painful to watch.

I suspect she was told to sya that by the producers.
If not it would confirm 3 faithful left in the game.

Was he the one in there with his girlfriend who they decided to keep it quiet and he cracked on day 3 at most?

 

[Audax]

Well ... as I expected, Minah has made a mistake. Charlotte already playing a blinder now she's a traitor IMO. Keeping secrets from Minah so that Minah doesn't realise she's possibly rumbled, alongside spotting and storing up little mistake Minah makes that she can use to drive the herd when the time comes. Minah's gone from slight favourite to take the cash, to unlikely to even make the final 5 IMO.

Largely, IMO, because of her decision to try to maintain the "sisterhood" thing. She's put good gameplay to one side to stick with a concept that the new traitor may or may not buy into (and we've already seen Charlotte doesn't). In the process she's brought in someone who's looking to be a good traitor, who won't hesitate to backstab her when the time comes. I think this late in the game, with a forced recruitment, I would absolutely have been looking to bring in a weak traitor - someone who already has some low-key heat, that you can keep in for a few days, and then jettison as a sacrifice easily as the game winds down towards the final 5. You don't want a strong traitor coming in late, as that very strength is likely to be used against you.

Joe is nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is

He’s expert at ultra confidently selecting Faithful’s who don’t tick the Traitor boxes, then getting a mini following to see it through. Was Kasim one victim of this? Joe then challenged by an upset Dan.

Yet the sheep keep following someone making rubbish decisions.
