So Iām getting irrationally annoyed with Paul now, but Iām glad his game is starting to come to an end I think. The rest of the group are showing genuine emotions now, but Paul seems so cold and very Matt Hancock emotion when sitting at the table.
Iām annoyed at the faithful for just ignoring Paul. It really was the elephant in the room. He is the epitome of so much power that everyone could think internally āheās the traitorā but nobody says it out loud because they are convinced they are in the minority.
I suspect itāll be Tracey go next. Sheās not an obvious choice, and I think the other two will basically eventually get banished as the game goes on.
Also: Ant is a tad annoying nowā¦ let folk speak man! He actually also does act like a traitor in saying a lot but not saying anything at all, and then saying āhold on hold on hold onā and re-directing the chat to someone else.
Who would you put money on to win? I know itās early, but fun to guess anyway. I think my money would be on Miles at the moment, although I think Harry has a fairly good chance too.
Watching on iPlayer and have ended up a lot behind because episode 5 for some reason was delayed in going up
Top tip - if watching on iPlayer, donāt skip the recap for this episode because for some reason it actually skips too much and you will miss the immediate resolution to the ācliffhangerā ending of 4.
But back to five. Turned out to be a surprisingly dull episode for me. Yes, 10k was added to the prize pot, but there were no real advances in any other way. No dramas, no revelations, just a predictable slog to a predictable banishment.
Paul is so obviously a Traitor at this point that I have to believe it is almost wilful blindness from the faithful. They know the Traitors will likely be offered the opportunity to recruit at some point, so Paul is the Traitor theyāve collectively put in their pocket to banish at the last opportunity - rather than banish him now and then have to ID a newly-recruited Traitor.
I wonder if the faithful will pick up on the - oh, they canāt; they donāt know suspects do they? - fact that all the potentials for murder are women. To the viewer certainly, even if we didnāt know who the Traitors were, it would be blatantly obvious they were all men.
Of the possibilities, Iām hoping itās not Diane because Iād like to see how her secret relationship pans out, and Iām hoping itās not Charlotte because sheās the most attractive woman in the show, which means Iām inevitably hoping that Traychey is the victim (Iām pretending Iām writing that last name on a chalkboardā¦)
Last but not least, Iām hoping thereās no iPlayer delays tonight and I can start finding out some answers in roughly 15 minutes timeā¦
Well as if it wasnāt obvious who was going at the end of episode 6 the preview seemed to spoil it by showing everyone else present in the room still alive. My only hope is that Diane pours her drink into another cup before she drinks it but Iām very concerned for her (she is my favourite along with Jaz).
A little trailer just dropped. Hopefully this comes to the iPlayer.
Iām here for Ekin-Su, sheās a liar, an actress and fake like the Louis Vuitton from China, so I hope sheās picked as a traitor because naturally sheād be great at it.
Editors know what theyāre doing when they cut trailers like that.
I hope there may be a shock twist coming. Surely at least some of the Faithful noticed and found it rather suss how much time Harry, Paul and Miles were spending in the library. Especially with Paulās not at all dodgy excuse of having to find his water bottle (seriously, why has only Jazatha Christie seen through him?). But I digress; I think there will be a shock twist because the Traitors were told they had to murder before the end of the night, but the bells were chiming before Miles swapped drinks with Diane - so the production team could say the night ended and they didnāt kill anyone in time, so Diane lives! Itās also possible that Diane doesnāt drink - the look on her face when they were swapping the drinks was super suss, like she didnāt trust why Miles wanted to do it at all. So maybe she doesnāt actually drink her, drink, so doesnāt die.
I am on episode six too. Jaz needs to make his move or heās going to get murdered. He knows whatās up and I get heās being strategic but itās too little. I think though I agree episode 7 will not be great for the traitors after that display
I think they willā¦ the problem is he is not telling anyone! I suspect he will do though after the chat with Paul in which he basically outed himself and Harry as traitors.
I agree but then again, both Harry and Paul happily turned on Ash. Once youāve set yourself up as someone who will turn on others, I think you are fair game to have that happen to you. I donāt think the traitors will last this season as they arenāt working together they are just selling each other out at the first opportunity
