I cannot wait for Sam to appear on Uncloaked. Sorry if it’s already come up but I’ve only just realised he’s Ed’s doppelgänger…
P
Fiona gave me SUCH teacher energy the way she put Rachel in her place at the end of the episode, first with pointing out that Rachel pushed a theory and then with her sweet as honey “we need to spend time together” what an icon. She’s sharp, and it’s fun watching her play the dotty Welsh woman. Without being cruel or mean, I like the way she drew a line there. Go Fiona!
W
Ahhh I felt bad for Sam. That was cruel. I love Stephen tbh but I think his days are numbered. Rachel is proper devious and I was like “oooh” when she landed that comment, but it was a low blow like. Ross did annoy me though. He took it soooo personally all the time. Must be easy to get caught up though. Fiona I do love just because she’s cheeky, but tbh she is wayyy too cocky and poor Reece! She didn’t even try! I reckon Sam is going. I think they’re gonna want Reece to take the fall for this one.
W
Felt really bad for Ross, was this series’ person who just gets targeted from the start and never has suspicion cleared off him until he is banished. Rachel vs Fiona feels like something coming very soon. Don’t know how Stephen will survive, he has made way too many mistakes.
T
To be fair, no one brought up Ross’ name and him being framed as much as he did. Was only a matter of time
W
That’s fair, he was just dealt a terrible hand.
C
I think Reece will go. This will be advantageous to Rachel and Stephen because: a) The one person who was around the painting when they were gets murdered, which no one else knew about because Reece hasn’t said anything. b) Albeit, brutal, but that could frame Fiona, who is stirring the pot. This may also work in Rachel’s favour that if Fiona gets framed for banishment, that helps to regain her trust with Amanda. Because Rachel can then be like when Fiona gets banished: ‘We’ve got one!’ That could still backfire, though.
W
It is possible, he might have cleared himself with his tears in the kitchen post roundtable. I just want to see Rachel and Fiona got at each other, I think it would be an all-time roundtable.
B
Wait what. I thought episodes were on Thurs, Fri and Sat?!?! I missed this
C
Only for the first week due to new years, wed/Thurs/fri usually
Z
I know it’s a game but Rachel really got on my tits they way she went so hard for Ross. And wtf was Fiona doing in the challenge? It was so OTT. Obvious, you might say.
J
I think Rachel going for Ross was to try to buy more time for Steven in the game, I actually think he might survive pretty far depending on how much people listen to Jessie especially if Rachel and Fiona go to war, as that will also buy precious time for the traitors. I think Stevens out is Rachel or Fiona going and Jessie being seduced and forced to work with the other two for a bit, as the Sus on Steven has started to die down. Woah this was longer than I thought
B
It annoyed me too, I won’t be surprised if someone suspects her as it would be a very Traitor-y move to ensure the guy with the most suspicion is up for murder but then don’t murder him, giving a practically free Faithful banishment. But we’ll see, so far the edit is making people look a bit dumb.
K
I know EVERYONE is convinced on this theory “everyone is related in some way” well what about the ones already murdered or banished? Why didn’t they reveal their link like Ellie just did regarding her link to Ross?
M
They might’ve but just not been included in the edit.
K
Doesn’t make sense tho
M
The theory that they’re all connected or that they’d leave it out of the edit?
J
The amount of people complaining on Aldi’s facebook because they posted the secret traitor reveal immediately is hilarious.
F
Wtf was Roxy doing with that tower
O
Literally. Why did it take her multiple tries but the first guy completed the task within 5 mins??
M
The possibility of people all being connected to someone really upends some game strategy. Someone could have a suspicion that their connection is a traitor but not out them to benefit themselves.
O
Everyone this season is connected to another. That was the whole point of showing the family tree painting over and over.
O
This would be kinda cringe but also kinda fun. I’m here for it
C
I feel like this season at the round table the majority of people are very articulate and able to defend their opinions well. It’s really refreshing (especially in comparison to some other countries traitors) and I like how it’s not “let’s just all vote for one person”, forgetting what happened with Judy. TBH even though they weren’t successful today, I still think it’s a pretty good set of faithfuls
T
There’s no way they were actually left in the cages that whole time …right? 😅
B
I choose to believe they were
O
This is why they have psychologist/psychiatrists/trauma therapists 👀
O
Has anyone cross checked the thank you’s on Harriet’s novels? (For names of other contestants)
B
I quite fancied reading Blood Orange anyway so just downloaded it onto my Kindle for the cause… she just wrote ‘my husband’! No name drop sadly.
O
AnYoNe eLsE???????
T
The way Jessie jumped on Jack after she freed him from the cage made me wonder if they could be another secret couple…she wrapped her legs around him..
O
Yeah that was weird that she did that if they are not a couple
C
To me, they give more best friend kind of energy.
S
She also said “i love you” when she first went to his cage.
A
She definitely said that.
M
I thought that, too. 🤔
G
Does anyone else think Rachel and Amanda may be a couple? Noticed a few times they seem quite close…then in this episode, Rachel chooses to play for her in the mission. Towards the end they were siting down to eat just the 2 of them and Rachel said ‘you seem like a purple cup kinda gal’…sounded flirty to me although the nature of this show does mean overanalysing every single moment! 😂
C
I think Amanda and Maz worked together in the police. Maz mentioned he’s a retired police officer in this episode.
C
Rachel lives in my hometown. She’s married with kids haha
G
Well it was a fun theory while it lasted haha
B
…And all of them are in the show?
C
No….
B
Damn it!
P
She’s from Newry is she?
C
Yep.
W
There are photos of Rachel with her husband on her Instagram, but maybe it’s all a ruse…
C
I think Sam will go. Fiona said that if Reece survives he’s a traitor. Equally, Reece could (and should) pin Rachel and Stephen down about the painting- stupid behaviour from those two. Maz has heat on him from the painting – so that’s Rachel and Stephen’s alibi. Sam is the only one who doesn’t directly threaten the Traitors by being killed
B
I also wonder if Sam has rubbed people up the wrong way by being brash and the Traitors just want to remove him.
F
It seems like Reece doesn’t remember the painting though
T
Yeh he deserves to go just for that 😂
