[TV] The Traitors - BBC

[Triggaaar]

I think Francesca's only option is to say say Charlotte is a faithful.

Yeah that's definitely the worst option. It would then become too difficult to both stay in and have Charlotte voted out.

Just be honest and hope it works, she had no other sensible option.

 

[Audax]

Surely she could offer to split the winnings once received. Obviously she would be under no legal obligation to do so though and I can't imagine that Frankie would have much trust in her actually going through with that, after being so deceived by her.

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.

Verbal contracts can be enforced in the UK, so long as you can get a court to agree that the contract existed. Shouldn't be too hard if the "contract" is agreed on broadcast TV.

Anyway ... was fascinating watching Freddie go down the panic meltdown route. Clearly got caught on the hop, and couldn't find the right lie when put on the spot very early. Then doubled down on said lie at the table without having put any thought into how to avoid putting his foot in it completely prior to going to the table.

It's just pure dumb luck that's put Charlotte in a very difficult position now. I think this will be a Faithful win now, but we'll need to see how many. Unless Charlotte can convince Jake & Leanne that it's an elaborate play by Alexander and Frankie to take the lot as a pair of Traitors working together.

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

A three way split between Jake, Alexander and Francesca would please me.

The nsc meltdown if Leanne got her hands on cash, doesn‘t bear thinking about .

Not a meltdown from me. I've been impressed at her ability to defend herself. There is a lot to not like about her but then that's the same for all of them

Sure, but if I were a part of the production team, I'd simply tell them that it's not ok, and they need to either cancel the deal (and they could film it for proof) and tell them that if they don't, they'll be kicked out of the show and have nothing.

Yep, that went pretty badly for him. It seems so unjust that they think he's been a traitor all this time, when he only just got recruited and had nothing to do with any murder.

Leanne and Jake can just keep voting people out until it's just the two of them left. Quite a few possibilities, but they'd have to be dumber than Molly to let Charlotte win now.

I can't see how Leanne doesn't get a share.

 

[Mellotron]

I'm unhappily predicting a Leanne + Jake win.

I'm not expecting any of the fireworks that we saw last year but you never know with this excellent programme

It's nicely set up.

I don’t mind straight talking Leanne.
Mrs.W can’t stand her.

I dislike bullies of the gentle. John in season 1, Joe this season.

It is a great program, but the main reason it's still interesting at the death is because Frankie luckily chose Charlotte. Otherwise it was an easy win for Charlotte when Freddie basically let her get away with back-stabbing him.

I'm not Joe's biggest fan, but comparing him to that **** John is totally unfair. I don 't think Joe's a bad person, just a bit annoying.

On a scale. I hated it when Joe shouted down a gentle character (ex-SEN I think) who was upset about a departure.

Yes John was a wnkr. Interesting that he's like that outside the prog too ... appears a weasel to me, one day he'll pick on the wrong target. Decibels/front doesn't make him Rocky .

Charlotte absolute idiot recruiting Freddie. He was always going to know she was trying to throw him under the bus to catch a traitor and he was always going to go down fighting. The obviously choice to recruit was Jake, as no one even questions he’s a faithful (same position as Charlotte was). They would have definitely won and split the money. Better to have 90% chance of winning half the money than next to no chance now of winning all of it.

Fair enough, I've forgotten what happened there.

As I said earlier, she was an idiot recruiting Freddie but I think she should have recruited Frankie. She's not under any suspicion at all. They then could murder Alexander and Freddie, as everyone thinks that there's a male traitor and team up to murder Leanne. The seer is almost irrelevant at that stage
