The Traitors BBC1

[JaneJeffer]

Can't see a thread. What is this shite?

Sorry jumping on thread as totally hooked! Wilf is such a bellend... I'm not even sure he's playing a good game, I just think the others are easily swayed! Love Maddy for simply having courage in her convictions! Can't believe nobody suspects Amanda... she never says anything! I bet she wins... as she's playing the best game and has been given a couple of lucky breaks!

Wilf is definitely getting found

@Mouldyfoodhelp they all seemed to buy his bullshit

Reading back over the posts.

Completely agree with whoever said they now love Hannah having previously disliked her. She was so kind to Alyssa. Meryl was too, she tried to go after Alyssa when she left.

Wednesdays a long way away right now, cannot wait to see if Alex accepts.

Did anyone else pick up on Alex's change in image once Tom left? before she was all pastely and make up free then comes down to breakfast in very business like clothing with bright red lipstick!

I am enjoying this.
I like maddie she is funny.
Amos has some muscles and it was funny when he slipped and fell in the hide and seek task.
My favourite is Aaron,he seems genuine to me and I like how he sticks to his beliefs about who the traitor is..he doesn't follow the vote.
Shocked at poor matt being murdered,he was harmless and I thought Alex would have been more upset.

No I didn't (I'm not that observant really!) but it's well known that what you wear affects how you feel. I think Tom being in with her was actually a real support and comfort and now he's gone she knows she's got to step up and be strong and more importantly appear to be strong. I'm still not sure whether or not she'll take up the traitors' offer.

I don't think Alex really cared for Matt at all it was just a flirty thing so she had someone to keep onside essentially later in the game if it worked out she could count on him and Tom to vote for someone else.

I think Alex is probably relieved Matt is gone. With Tom banished I think Matt would have gone full on lovestruck.

Why should she have been upset? She was only flirting with him to cover up the fact that she was in a relationship with Tom.

I do think that was off, but I don't think anyone could have predicted how strong Matt's feelings had become in such a short space of time, and with nothing actually happening. Maybe he was upset because he knew what he'd been saying to others and the camera and it made him look foolish.

It was hard viewing. I do wish it hadn't happened.

He fell for her, he wasn't pushed. He should have laughed it off and chalked it up to experience, he overreacted. He seems like a nice bloke but a little needy.

I don't think anyones disputing that ( well I'm not) but she purposefully sought him out to flirt for her to gain in the competition.

Good for her, I'd do the same if some idiot would fall for it..

See I get that's sorta the point of the game but I couldn't do it, feels morally bankrupt although that's probably how you make yourself not actually bankrupt. I'd be terrible at this game far too emotional and overthinking my actions. Going back to Alex and my original comment I was talking about it to point out that's why she didn't seem fussed he was a means to an end not an actual emotional connection.

It's one of those things where it's not against the rules of the game, but it feels against the spirit. You're allowed to lie in the game, indeed if you're a Traitor then you have to. But you're supposed to be lying about the role you've been assigned and your strategy, not your romantic feelings for people.

I get that it's a hard line to draw...Alex could have flirted with someone else who was charmed enough to feel goodwill to her but not seriously affected by it, and it's not a crime to flirt with someone. And yes, if you're a ruthless game player, I guess you would. But I just don't feel it's supposed to be that kind of game. It took the playfulness off it for me.

Amos has some muscles

Ooh, has he. I have to struggle to pay attention to what he's saying when he's on camera because that is very distracting.

I think people may be overegging what Alex actually did with Matt, she was friendly to him, she didn't snog him or say she was single and available, she was friendly to him, that's all ffs.

I must admit I don't remember Alex going out of her way to flirt with Matt but like I said upthread, I'm not that observant.

I guess it's all different opinion based on very little knowledge which is kind of the same as the show and all their differing opinions

See I get that's sorta the point of the game but I couldn't do it,

This is pretty much what I think about the traitor role in general

I can see why people find Maddie annoying but I like that she is staying true to what she believes and won’t let politics/popularity get in her way.

can’t wait for this weeks episodes!

Not sure about that, I once played Among Us against my 7yo niece who told me to fuck off when I voted to banish her… 😳

Yeah even my 60 year old mum made the among us comparison as a gamer I'd shown her it in its hayday(sp?) And there's tonnes of YouTube videos of people playing and it gets Explosive. Good fun with a group of friends with random people online it's not as effective

Hopefully she's been banned from playing until she can demonstrate she's mature enough...

Yes, fair to say there was no more Among Us after that!
