Traitors Series 2 (UK). iPlayer pace with spoliers

[TyneTeas]

As title, iPlayer pace and spoilers for series 2 UK

No, they won't go up ahead now, that was just last week.

Thanks for the replies …boooo though

The Traitors Uncloaked is good though.

Is that on tonight?

It's on iPlayer now, episode two is about tonight's episode of Traitors.

Don’t forget there’s also bonus material if you listen to the podcast on BBC Sounds.

Bless Joel reassuring Brian that everyone doesn’t think he’s a total nutter!

It wasn’t as good tonight, I really liked Stacey and Tom last week. Joel Dommett was great (clearly a huge fan of the series), but Giovanni was a waste of space.

I assumed Giovanni had been wheeled on as a show of support for him by the BBC. He wasn’t a great guest at all.

So that makes me wonder who they booted to put him in 🤔

Probably one of last years contestants, who would have undoubtedly been more interesting!

I do hope they get Wilf on at some point.

Yes, I really hope they'll have Wilf and Amanda from last year as podcast guests!

I think the Faithful may win this time. They seem smarter than last year, plus the Traitors have been really badly chosen. They should have chosen Evie/Charlie.

Diane, Zack, and Jaz especially. I hope smart people win either way; please no more Aarons and Meryls cluelessly going to the finals.

Claudia is really rather Trumpian, isn't she?

I'm starting to wonder if it's a good game plan for Faithfuls to try to keep the Traitors in for a bit, once they think they know who they are. You don't want them recruiting all the time so that it becomes harder to spot them, and if you can get some Faithfuls on side, you could block vote them out once it really starts mattering and each vote counts for more as there are fewer people.

Risky, of course, but that's impossible to avoid.

<Makes notes for next year’s application>

Comedy gold (though a bit out of date now)

Ha that's very funny @StrangeNew

I had the three up for murder on my predictions in the online game from the start of the episode so obviously thinking like a Traitor 😂 I have Charlotte as first choice then Diana then Tracey

Annoyed that I switched Johnny and Anthony around at the last minute

I think Ross now has a target on his back after tonight’s round table. He led the group effort on Johnny who everyone loved. I wonder if Diana is murdered whether he will reveal he is the Ross of Diana Ross

Why are they thinking of offing Charlotte? She's a strong Paul ally. She's the Hannah of this series.

But being a vocal ally of one of the Traitors is probably a good reason for them to murder you. Throws everyone off the scent.

Tonight was excellent!

But even then...wouldn't people go back to thinking "why didn't they just off Paul?"?

It's so frustrating seeing them skirt around the Paul-not-being-murdered issue! The simplest and most obvious explanation is the right one!

I think it’s funny when they say “he/she could never be a Traitor”.

First they have only known each other for about a week (Diane and Ross excluded) and second it’s not as it they applied to be a traitor or faithful it is just luck of the draw of the producers in who would make good tv, well except for Miles but he is so bland he is probably forgotten about by everyone

I think they missed a trick not including either Diane or Ross as a Traitor just to see how that dynamic worked

First they have only known each other for about a week (Diane and Ross excluded) and second it’s not as it they applied to be a traitor or faithful.

Exactly!

Also, I take back what I said earlier about the Faithfuls being smarter than last year. They are thick as mince.

I find the whole ‘I love you’ to strangers to be quite ridiculous. They don’t even know each other, why are they declaring love on tv?

@MotherofGorgons I don’t think it’s necessarily a lack of intelligence, more a demonstration of how easily led people are - they’re all following the herd, not wanting to be the one singled out. In a very extreme version, it’s exactly why horrific events have happened throughout human history.

I have just realised I am on 2 threads discussing this in a muddled manner, and yes, I think unconscious biases play a huge part @CaveMum.
