From what they showed of the roundtable I expected Leigh Anne to go. Based on the theory that 1 of the 4 in the crypts was a traitor.

Denim4ever · 22/10/2026 21:44

How much do we think they edit at the round table? Joanne just seemed very lucky. Lianne also.

Imisscoffee2021 · 22/10/2026 21:45

Kill Romesh, let some faithful gun for Leigh Ann, and let Joanne and Miranda take eachother down via their own factions 🤣

If you play the game “correctly”, murder is to get rid iof the people who will never be banished. So it has to be Romesh, sadly.

Loving how much more “alert” Jerry is on Uncloaked, obviously just playing the “silly ‘lil ol’ me” during filming.

Or to frame others, or get rid of threats. I remember in S1, Faye mentioned to Amanda that she'd been tracking how everyone had voted... sayonara, Faye!

True and she's quite bland. The feisty and slightly outspoken person she appeared to be in the Little Mix heydays isn't there

Right? And then suddenly, Jerry.
Bad editing, I think.

Joanne seemed less than nice, regardless of Miranda's flip flopping.

murasaki · 22/10/2026 21:51

Joanne has always given mean girl vibes to me.

honeyrider · 22/10/2026 21:51

I have a vague memory of reading something online about the round table usually lasts longer than an hour,

Denim4ever · 22/10/2026 21:52

OsfameronTanamoril · 22/10/2026 21:48

Show quote history

I agree, they made it look like it would be Joanne or Leigh Ann with a token Jerry note or two them it was a pile on. Also odd that the slip she appeared to make re Richard came back and the Joanne seeming slip seems to have gone away more

IberianLynx · 22/10/2026 21:52

I thought that Joanne/Miranda dynamic was interesting, when Miranda tried to nicely accuse Joanne. I think she was massively intimidated by Joanne after that.

Newsenmum · 22/10/2026 21:53

Poor miranda and romesh! Romesh was so sad and joanne was horrible to Miranda. But one of them needs to go. But also I don’t want either of them too.

Yes, really put me off Joanne and made me think the editing at the round table was quite misleading

I agree, especially with the fact sharon could prove he was the sniffer that stayed still. Also he’s sad without rob and jerry.

Stowickthevast · 22/10/2026 21:56

Love the thought of Jerry having Rob and his family round for lunch.

I was quite impressed that Ross knew 2 of the traitors. I wonder if any of the others do.

Surely they'll vote out Leigh-Anne tomorrow? The crypt thing will do for her.

ScaredButUnavoidable · 22/10/2026 21:58

itsnearly2027 · 22/10/2026 21:04

Kenny looked like he held the pen to write an M

I thought exactly the same.

Clafoutie · 22/10/2026 22:02

Although she is far from my favourite, I don’t agree with some of the Joanne dislike here and elsewhere. She strikes me as more insecure than unpleasant, and she has made me laugh a few times. I think people maybe forget the pressure of being there.
Sorry to see Jerry go, but only for entertainment purposes really. She wasn’t really helping them or adding much to catching traitors! She is peculiar, I love her but also can’t work her out at all. Something sort of opaque there?

Show quote history

Hard to say but would play well into Joanne being blamed for a Miranda murder.

Michael has been vocal and influential in the banishing of more than one faithful and voted for Jerry despite not really suspecting her - perhaps the focus will swing round to him.

The "weak" faithfuls seem to be disproportionately the women faithfuls. Jerry has lastedd longer than most older women faithfuls in the show.

the80sweregreat · 22/10/2026 22:05

Who did Ross vote for today ?

WhereAreWeNow · 22/10/2026 22:09

thebrowncatisback · 22/10/2026 21:18

Jerry is apparently against botox and fillers

i think its refreshing

It is refreshing. She's really beautiful and I love that she doesn't have a forehead that's immobile from Botox, or puffed up lips or perfectly straight teeth.
I found her completely hilarious and charming. I wasn't expecting to love her but I do. Gutted she's gone.

C8H10N4O2 · 22/10/2026 22:10

redboxer321 · 22/10/2026 21:30

Fair enough. She sure did earn it! Vile specimen of a man.

Show quote history

Jerry was already wealthy when she married him - hugely successful in her own right (and astute business wise - one of the few supermodels from that period who diversified early). She wasn't a serial marrier either - one long partnership with Jagger and one marriage. I suppose he must have something we just don't see!

thebrowncatisback · 22/10/2026 20:11

Ooh Claudia’s suit is 👍

I almost loved it, but thought the trousers were too short. It may be a style but they just looked flappy above the ankles to me.

Clafoutie · 22/10/2026 22:11

OsfameronTanamoril · 22/10/2026 21:10

But so entertaining!

Show quote history

Yes, bless him, he is so earnestly wrong

ScaredButUnavoidable · 22/10/2026 22:11

the80sweregreat · 22/10/2026 22:05

Who did Ross vote for today ?

He didn’t. He’d already been murdered and gone by the time the round table occurred.

the80sweregreat · 22/10/2026 22:15

Oh yes! Sorry.
