Just watching them now on itv - (thanks for tip off) Aaron looks quite different - I can't work out why.

Who is the female presenter on This Morning?

Newgirls · 23/12/2022 11:23

Wilf chose Kieran to deflect attention from him - if he had chosen Hannah and decided to share the £££ he could have won?

brilliant show loved it all!

Why was Kieran so FURIOUS at Will at the round-table? Is it purely because he knew he couldn't beat him at the game?

Twonewcats · 23/12/2022 11:36

I think we can all agree that the real winner of the show was the castle and the scenery. Stunningly beautiful. The Highlands will be getting a lot of visitors as a result.

He'd been forced into being a traitor, purely to be backstabbed.

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 23/12/2022 12:04

I'm glad it ended how it did. Wilf was such a backstabbing shit whereas actually, even if Kieran is horrible in real life, I think he would have stayed loyal to Wilf if Wilf had stayed loyal to him. I'm not sure that Kieran did give away the game although he came close. At the round table he sowed a seed which seemed to just confuse Aaron and Hannah initially (and went straight over Meryl's head as usual). It was Wilf's over the top reaction, calling Kieran a prick and making ultimatums about never speaking to them again which sealed it. I think that made Hannah (and Aaron to a lesser extent) reassess her view of him completely. And I'm glad Kieran did it because otherwise the programme would have been like watching puppies being shot one by one.

So Wilf mostly caused his own downfall (IMO). And all that shite afterwards about being so glad the faithfuls won the money. Yeah right when not long before he'd been swearing on everyone's lives and emotionally blackmailing them to get the money. I don't doubt he was happy all the pretence was over but I hope he was sat at home with his head in his hands cringing.

Anyway, great programme, see you all here for the next series.

TerraNostra · 23/12/2022 12:24

Just want to say how impressed I was that Hannah volunteered immediately for the swim and was positively excited about jumping out of the helicopter. Not a flicker of being scared or hesitant or nervous, just got in with it. Top lass.

WouldJudasLeaveIt · 23/12/2022 12:27

Agreed about Hannah, wouldn't get me doing that in a month of Sundays.

Follycastle · 23/12/2022 12:35

Just watched the round table again and the way Kieran says “Will” is just perfection. With a brighter, leas Wilf-blind group of faithfuls remaining, that’s practically all he would have needed to do to hint that there was a remaining traitor.

I don't know if that's a good thing.

PuppyMonkey · 23/12/2022 12:46

Late to this thread but have watched the whole thing and loved it all.

I’m wondering if next series they can have the traitors not know who each other are in some way. So they don’t come together to plot a murder at the end of the day but simply go off and vote for someone to be killed.

Obviously they might all vote for 3 or 4 completely different people, so I don’t know how they could accommodate it… but I’m sure someone could think of a way.Grin

But it would be fabulous if as well as being traitors themselves they also have to try and work out who else is a traitor!

I have never warmed to Wilf but I did think the way it all ended was unfair. If all banished traitors behaved like that, it would be impossible for the traitors to ever win in future series.

This is absolutely the take away message from this series which I loved right up until Kieran's giveaway. That spoiled it for me, whether 'allowed' or not.

I didn't want either traitors or faithful to win because they'd been given hints, but because they'd played the game well and worked it out themselves [wouldn't have happened with Meryl on board!]. I'd have been happy either way.

For those who've watched international versions of the show, how has this sort of thing been managed there? Or has it not arisen?

MissMarpleRocks · 23/12/2022 13:07

I think Kieran felt he was a faithful to the end & he didn’t want a backstabbing Traitor to win especially one who was prepared to stab him in the back.

WouldJudasLeaveIt · 23/12/2022 13:08

I've only seen the Australian version, but a traitor doesn't out another traitor like that. I don't think Kieran should have done it, ok if he'd just written Wilf's name and done a sly eyeball motion towards him, but saying "parting gift" I didn't agree with 🤷🏼‍♀️

SUBisYodrethwhenLarping · 23/12/2022 14:10

Would you guys like it if there was a red button option for TV audience to NOT know who TRAITORS are so we could choose to know or not know by using red button or not iyswim

Romeiswheretheheartis · 23/12/2022 14:20

I just watched last nights again, and wondered what would have happened at the end if Meryl had voted for Aaron, the same as Wilf did? It would have been a tied vote.

It wouldn't make sense to vote for Aaron. Why would he have chosen to banish again, it would be a risky one as, if he was a traitor, he would have won if they all went green.

startfresh · 23/12/2022 14:26

Not sure if I asked this last night and missed a respond but can't find my post to check.

Please can someone explain the logic:

Maddy thinks Aaron is a traitor.
Maddy votes Aaron.
Aaron has panic attack.
Maddy thinks it's because Wilf is a fellow traitor and voted for him.
Maddy then tells everyone to vote for Wilf to prove Aaron is a traitor and if Wilf is, then Aaron is.

Why not keep voting Aaron if you think he's the traitor? Why vote Wilf to prove it.

That made no sense to me throughout the show as she kept saying it.

I wondered if this would happen (like in the circle when they vote through screens) but imagine if two traitors gave the third one's name, so probably wouldn't run smoothly.

startfresh · 23/12/2022 14:31

Imagine if next series, 50% are traitors. Good viewing!

Ilikewinter · 23/12/2022 14:54

I absolutely loved this show....but I dont think Id watch another series. I dont think people would be as genuine on subsequent series's.

CoffeeBoy · 23/12/2022 15:01

I said Wilf had picked the wrong person, he should have recruited a dimwit.

CoffeeBoy · 23/12/2022 15:02

Maybe Wilf should have picked the other coloured smoke at the end? It was obvious Hannah was going to go red and want another banishment. If Wilf had gone red as well then that might have thrown them.
