Thursday 9th episode:
Goodness me - what a terrible, terrible group of people!
The only likeable ones are the Traitors and Freddy, really. Juryâs out on Fosia and the diplomat. The rest are thoroughly objectionable or a just a bit meh.
Gameplay wise they should kill Fosia. But for my viewing enjoyment make it Livi.
Iâm liking the odd flash of more steel from LindaâŚ
Iâm sorry to be mean but the tears HAVE TO STOP. Seriously. Itâs a game. They arenât best friends. Itâs a game.
LIVI DID YOU HEAR THAT?
Admittedly this was good TV at parts. This clique issue was the first time I shouted at the TV. They were all so offended by the idea of a group. Convinced they arenât a group. Then acted like a group. And slight humble pie when others told them âYeah bro youâre a groupâ.
I think the group are just not likeable, which is a shame. Linda will be gone before the end. Freddy I still like but he seems so young still and struggles to articulate what he means, so he gets into holes and thatâs why people are gunning for him constantly.
Iâm sure Livi is good TV for some but for me she just annoyed me this episode
I think Fosia will be murdered. I think they should murder Livi; then Freddy or Leon will be done next and gives the traitors a bit more time.
Oh and they weighed too much on âAs God is my witnessâ. Itâs a phrase. I donât see why she should hide the fact she is Christian. Fosia may well be Muslim as an example; it doesnât mean she canât play the game nor do I think they would make an issue out of her mentioning it if she is. Just a very odd thing to think, and it actually took me by surprise because the first I heard was someone saying they were âannoyed by the religious stuffâ which I canât imagine them saying about anyone else.
I actually really liked this. They banished today for completely the right reasons for the first time in ages. Itâs just a shame that they were completely down the wrong path.
I also thought the challenge was really good. Itâs just a shame that they got a run of correct doors, that ruined the entertainment a little.
It can be annoying for the viewers 100%. That said, I am ok with seeing Freddy cry. Freddy is 20, muscular and good looking - if some teenage boys see him crying and it helps them realise that it is ok to cry themselves, I am ok with it.
Nothing wrong with crying but cry at things that arenât a game or about people who youâve known for 3 days. Iâm being harsh but it just isnât a good set up for life.
Livi is OTT.
Freddie was caught in the moment.
We also donât live the emotion from the outside, I can imagine itâs quite tense.
Might apply next year.
We donât youâre right but I still stand by that itâs a mentally tough game and itâs known by this point. Itâs uncomfortable viewing and I donât think itâs healthy if you canât handle it at this beginning stage.
Iâm happy to agree to disagree here. Of course men cry; itâs nothing to do with gender. I donât point out any one person; itâs the collective. Itâs far more than Iâve noticed on other series and itâs concerning.
Or maybe live action community meet up.
Episode 5 thoughts
Anna knows. Anna was a mistake. This is their second blunder in a row. 
Good on Anna though. Was the best decision she could have made. Given Minah is essentially ruling the roost in the wake of Armani, I think she might not be quite so good as a traitor as I thought. Brilliant social game, but no strategist.
Loved the challenge this episode.
Fozia is fast becoming my favourite among the group. Sheâs onto Linda too. Her and Jake would make quite the team. She certainly ruffled Lindaâs feathers and her running off to moan to Linda was brilliant.
Crikey, Freddie confronting the clique. Whereâs the rest of the group who pushed that theory onto him? 
The Traitors will be loving this.
Anna not sharing the fact she was asked to be a traitor might have sealed Tylerâs fate. And if theyâre gonna banish another faithful, better him than Freddie.
That round table. Still very divided, and very hot. Lisa was great though. Her response would have completely exonerated her for me. And if she could have delivered her rebuttal that well as a traitor, then I wish theyâd have chosen her even more over Linda.
Poor Freddie. That outcome. I think heâs gone next episode. That banishment is going to be 100% attributed to him (and maybe Leon) and no one else.
Again, Lisa is fantastic, her response to Joe was 
, and they better not murder her. Or Fozia, though theyâre right in acknowledging her as a threat. Anna is uncharted territory and Iâm not sure Iâd want to keep her around, so I suspect they might go that way. As long as itâs not Fozia, I donât particularly care who they murder.
I fear this was awfully propheticâŚ
Yeah. Iâm not really enjoying this season nearly as much. If it doesnât improve this will be the last season I watch. It just feels like a generic reality TV show at this point (and I donât usually watch/enjoy reality TV).
Fair, but on my side Iâm bloody loving this.
Iâd also say that weâre at the point now in reality TV that people know they wonât become household names off the back of appearing on the show.
Anyway, a little gutted that one of the traitors didnât volunteer themselves for the death match. Iâm also not sure how the logistics of the final round will work? Surely the person who doesnât have the card dealt to them canât win?
Also, how on earth did Dan end up going over Linda?!??!!
Okay, Fri 10th spoilers:
So glad Livi went for my viewing enjoyment. She was v annoying
Fosia now grating on me. Glad Alexander and Anna got the life cards at the end - couldnât really care less which of the other two goes
Dan basically murdered himself. The karma was strong for playing such a selfish game
Is Alex basically a background character? Can he get murdered or something?
Lisa is much better with PRIEST MODE active
Linda is becoming my firm favourite, just because how appalling she is, yet somehow seems to dodge every bullet
I think Danâs theory about the traitor being close to him will do for Minah in a few episodes⌠With Londa dodging it again!
Overall, much better episode today. Much enjoyment.
I was a bit puzzled by it. They were not told they could choose themselves. Claudia telling the four players they were not necessarily all faithfuls could have been a red herring. That said, it was also said that they would murder face to face - so maybe if there were two players left and one was a traitor, they could have murdered them at the table.
Really enjoyed the last two episodes again, particularly episode 6
I am happy that the clique has essentially been eliminated. Feel like theyâve got rid of essentially all the players that I didnât really like which should just make the game a bit more enjoyable (even if it did make good TV with themâŚ)
The challenges in the last two have been good. I liked that episode 5 was a bit less serious which added a bit more fun to it.
Definitely feels like a more divided group compared with previous series and that Linda is definitely banished soon. Minah will be banished if they question again why sheâs still in the game as it is suspicious why she hasnât been murdered yet. Saying that, she has played such a brilliant game as a traitor. Not perfect, but basically done everything she would need to do to play the game effectively. Linda on the other hand isnât the best but at least sheâs entertaining
Liking the twist at the end of episode 6. Good way of doing something in plain sight rather than it simply being another murder in plain sight.
As a whole, probably enjoying this more than series 1 but a bit less than series 2. The people theyâve got on feel a bit different but I wouldnât say thatâs a bad thing and it doesnât to me feel like they are after fame, especially considering reality TV doesnât make too many people famous anymore.
I think one reason the series feels a bit different is because the cast feel really quite normal. You donât have anyone that knows how to play these strategy games They donât feel as if they are going in with a plan, other than the few people who are lying, or Dan wanting to work on his own (which isnât how to play this game really). Despite it being series 3, they seem more out of their depth on coming up with effective strategies.
Episode 6 thoughts
Yay! Fozia! Linda kinda gave it away when she tried to sew a seed of doubt about her before the rest arrived.
Livi is the third one to believe Freddie murdered her. 
Canât wait to see her reaction on uncloaked afterwards.
Well now youâve gone and done it Linda! Absolutely brilliant.
Really enjoyed the challenge this episode. Kinda wish they showed more of it and didnât rush through it. Love how most people thought Linda marked them.
I enjoyed that round table an awful lot!
Oh please throw Dan under the bus to protect Linda. PLEASE! Finally. Dan is getting his just desserts. Get him Minah! And Freddie survived another round table! And Linda is safe. Minahâs social game is absolutely phenomenal. Danâs outlook on the game, and the resulting strategy was flawed. Itâs what did him in the end, and honestly, it was deserved.
The mission in plain sight is back! Love the twist on it this year. These are so tense. And so much fun. Kinda wish theyâd picked Joe. I hope Fozia survives.
Fozia is a wonderful human being. I like that she did that for Anna. And a cliffhanger for the lat two. Câmon Fozia! 
Excellent episode all around, one of my favourites so far from this season. It ridded the game of all the players (except Joe) who were spoiling my enjoyment of the show.
Minah. Her social game is too good, man.
Would absolutely love her to win. She has played this game so well so far and is being able to control so much of the narrative without being way too obvious
Episode 6:
I also wish there was one Traitor in the mix for that challenge - could have only been Minah though as Linda had a shield, but would have been a good mix up. Will be keen to see if any of the Faithful 4 clock onto Claudâs âTraitors or Faithfulâ bit as a bluff.
Did seem like from the edit that the challenge didnât explain to the Traitors, that they could put themselves in, some on Reddit theorise it was only noticed late on by the production crew and only added the âTraitor or Faithfulâ ahead of the game otherwise it may have been more obvious the the 4 - from what I can recall there would have been no other challenge that directly confirms (or strongly suggests) that all the players are Faithful.
Was really hoping Linda would secretly write Minah on the board while she wasnât watching.
To be fair though, if sheâd have immediately taken the card back from her, it would be immediately taken again as that would have given it away - much like the double Fozia/Leon trade in the last round - so she likely wouldnât have hung onto it.
I realllly want to see someone get caught in the act on the murder in plain sight challenges.
For this episodes challenge;
While I thought the challenge itself was a bit bland, I did enjoy how much chaos it caused at the round table. A game where basically everyone (nearly) has to gunge someone else, everyone then taking it as a sign of Traitorism if they gunged their little fwends. Theyâre getting so hung up on the wrong signals, I love it
Also, once again Linda shows off some Acting⢠at breakfast.
