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

Tom said it was in their contract. Would make sense, you don't want people messing up the formula.

burnoutbabe · 13/12/2022 14:32

i assume if the whole being a traitor got to you THAT much, you could go to the producers and tell them you want to quit (same if faithful) and they'd announce some one had withdrawn to the group.

i mean they can't hold them there against their will!

tobee · 13/12/2022 15:16

Hmm.. wasn't it supposed to be on next on Wednesday? Are they messing around with the schedule? Or was there false information? I know there's iPlayer but it's very confusing

tobee · 13/12/2022 15:19

Do you think they were right to choose Alex? My initial thought was Maddy but maybe that was too dangerous? Are they forbidden from saying they've been approached if they turn it down? So the rest of the players find out through Claudia announcing it? Or what?

ReneBumsWombats · 13/12/2022 16:15

I'm not sure who else I'd choose, to be honest. I think Alex would make a good traitor, especially now Tom's gone, and since eyes are already on her, she could be a good deflection from Wilf and Amanda. I don't think Aaron could take the heat and Amos strikes me as too "good".

Andrea, maybe. I thought they'd be on the sweet white haired pensioner, because she doesn't seem likely, so you'd think she'd be chosen as a traitor. They did vote her most likely to win!

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 13/12/2022 16:20

Alex is a good pick as they can predict she is likely to be voted off at some point anyways because of her lying

If and when she goes, the group may then assume she was an OG Traitor. Which protects the actual OGs somewhat

KatKoot · 13/12/2022 16:22

They didn’t have to choose another Traitor did they? Surely they had more chance of winning by having less Traitor’s.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 13/12/2022 16:24

Nah - safety in numbers. Three traitors = three votes on an agreed other player.

The traitors win if there are any left at the end. They probably do want more, to keep their collective hand in and for potential deflection.

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 13/12/2022 16:24

I think I'd have chosen Kieran. The new old ones have spent less time with the others so they're less likely to notice any change in them. (I think Amos would have hated to be a traitor.)

KatKoot · 13/12/2022 16:27

Good point!

Provided she doesn't out other traitors I don't think it spoils the show and it shows her in a good light regarding future presenting/acting gigs. But yes she'd have to leave. In her interview she didn't seem too fussed about the money.

But I'm speculating, the Claudia theory is just as likely!

I'd say the opposite is true. If she can't act like a traitor, it doesn't bode well for her acting career at all.

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 13/12/2022 16:50

I don't know. I think acting is different to lying and in her interview she says she's a terrible liar.

Yeah I think I'd have been severely tempted to go for the murder instead. Although I can see why Amanda might want to have another ally as Wilf seems super unreliable to put it mildly Grin

Plus acting is lying 24/7 for days in a close community

Yes exactly. I don't know how much longer Wilf will last and I definitely wouldn't fancy being a lone traitor. But Amanda might be fine with that.

Yes definitely! Murder Maddy so it implicates Wilf as she was on to him.
Amanda could do it on her own but I feel the producers may have guided them to recruit otherwise she would be talking to herself at the Traitors meeting.

tobee · 13/12/2022 17:27

Lol!

ReneBumsWombats · 13/12/2022 17:31

I think I fancy Amos. He just seems so "good", and those muscles...

00100001 · 13/12/2022 17:33

Do the banished traitors share the winnings of the traitors win?

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 13/12/2022 17:38

Amanda could do it on her own but I feel the producers may have guided them to recruit otherwise she would be talking to herself at the Traitors meeting.

I could imagine her saying 'Ah bugger' in a resigned voice.

@Dotellhimpike I think it's Arab mixed with British. Sounds like he was born elsewhere and grew up in the U.K.

P.s Love the username

I've only watched this show on iPlayer.. when is it streaming? I thought it was Thursdays, is it Tuesdays and Thursdays? So 2 episodes a week? Going to try and catch it live now that I've caught up.
