Traitors, who do you root for?

I’m wondering about all the secret relationships…..

Does anyone think there will be other connections between people?

For eg will Matt be Stephen’s boyfriend? Or will Jessie be Harriet’s niece?
Will Faraaaz be Maz’s son? Will Jack be Adam’s brother?

I'm actually not sure Rachel will throw him under the bus unless she thinks Stephen is showing signs he might. Which is possible to be honest. If it ends up with 2 of them plus two faithful and he knows the ones left will back him he might just do it.

Rachel is playing the best social game, which is the thing I think Harriet (and to a certain degree, Fiona) completely ignored in favour of the game logistics. Ultimately, you’re not going to win unless you have made yourself relatively popular but are unthreatening to the others.

However, I don’t think Rachel has any intention of sharing the prize with Stephen and intends to throw him under the bus at the end. I hope that he’s playing a blinder and has had enough sense to be low key and agreeable so far but will also vote her out at the end - and win.

Rachel always seems to find someone to smile at during the round table, she is sneaky and has a huge fan base in the castle

I root for the faithful because the odds are stacked against them. Also, I liked Rachel to start with, but have really gone off her - she's so cold!

Again it's a personality thing for me, I really like Stephen this year so I'm rooting for him. I also wouldn't mind if James won.

Really wanted Joe and Nick to win in the celeb version.

It’s not just about traitor hunting, and that’s what a lot of faithfuls don’t quite get. It’s about staying “alive” and trying to manipulate who is in the final with you (or at the very least having the measure of them).

The minute a real game player like Rachel turns up she pretty much can walk it to the final, barring accidents, because most of the others are clueless.

The only faithful who posed any kind of threat was Harriet.

I agree. The ones remaining are terrible. I guess we shalll see if being dim is a strategy.

she just might be keeping things to herself? same with Ellie?

I think most have been this way in truth. They have the lovely Faraaz who just sits in the corner grinning like the Cheshire Cat. They have had a few white men of a certain age who have barely said or done anything and all just sort of blended into one. Ellie was boring as fuck and silent. Roxy just shouts every so often but offers nothing of any substance. I can’t tell if Rachel is a good traitor or the others are just terrible faithfuls. Having said that, they got Hugo out rapidly and fished Fiona out soon after.

I can’t say because it totally depends on the individuals.

In the first season I really loved Wilf and willed him to win for example. Second series I didn’t mind Harry but felt what he did to Mollie was brutal. Last year I absolutely loved Alexander so wanted him to win.

This year I think they’re all kind of annoying, which I know is mean but none of them have stood out to me at all. Maybe at a push Jade. It feels a bit stilted and scripted this year, I think because they’ve all rewatched previous seasons repeatedly so know what to expect. The ‘secret traitor’ thing was really pointless and silly too. I think that might have worked better had they remained a secret throughout.

Harriet's outburst reminded me of people who flip when they have had too much to drink. Really unnecessary, over the top and scary. I can't be around people like this who have a volatile temper like she displayed.

Unpopular opinion but I was rooting for Harriet. I agree the outburst was very strange and I don’t understand where all the anger came from (and what at?). Maybe missing some backstory? It’s just a game at the end of the day.

Either way she’s such a formidable personality and was so spot on with Hugo and Rachel though that I had to admire her despite the outburst.

I hope Jade is not in the final. She has done nothing. No strategy, no alliances, no Traitor hunting.
I don't want ppl to be in the final.because of tragic back stories.

I was rooting for individuals too and now I just hope the Traitors win.

The 'short-term' memory of the faithfuls is just spectacular, and they seem to have zero wit and perception.
At this point, Rachel and Stephen could laugh in their faces at the roundtable and they'd still not suspect them.
They're the most hopeless bunch I've ever witnessed.

Same, I hope we see Jade in the final.

Has she said why she got so spectacularly angry at the roundtable? I think she'd have managed to convince them if she hadn't, and I was really rooting for her too until she lost it (and the table).

I’m another who just roots for the people I like. Which is most of them this series! Really like Rachel and Stephen and how they seem genuinely loyal to one another. Although agree why is no one questioning Rachel after her CIA reveal, that a bit suss. I feel sorry for Jade, she’s young and feels vulnerable and it’s good she stood up for herself a bit.

I really disliked Fiona and Harriet after their big dramatic performances and felt they deserved to go on the basis of those - I’d love to know if they were put up to that by producers etc.

there are a few who are just not getting the screen time, jack and Farazz
and also Jade
so i am hoping they pull through

Always Traitors. They make for better TV. I find most of the Faithful usually wet or dim. This year even more so.

yes i liked Minah
also Joe Marler

this time,
not sure, should be faithfuls as i feel traitors have been getting away with it and there is the fbi training bollocks

I did because Stephen said in the beginning that he got engaged in Covid just like Matt said during the dinner party.

Totally depends on personality for me.

I was definitely rooting for the faithfuls on celebrity traitors because I absolutely love both Nick and Celia.

The current series... I'm on the fence. I don't warm to Rachel but I love Stephen, and I like a lot of the faithfuls as well. (Don't like others!!) So I'll decide who I'm rooting for when we know who's in the final!

I’m generally team faithful but I do think a fundamental problem with the show is that the good faithfuls are either murdered or banished. If they’re clever and switched on they are either suspected of being a traitor and banished or recognised as a threat and murdered!

I don’t like it when the traitors are smug and cocky but I think Rachel and Stephen are being strategic, are prepared to take risks and recognise that they have got lucky a few times. Ultimately I don’t really mind who wins this series

It’s not CIA, it’s FBI and it’s utter bollocks. It’s unbelievable that they’re all swallowing it. This is the first series that I’ve wanted the traitors to win, they’re running rings round the others.
