The Traitors - 1st January 2025

[witchycat2]

The most gripping reality game show is back! Tune in to BBC1 at 8pm on New Year's Day.

I'm buzzing!

Oh yeah, those three will be back.

I think if I’d been there, I’d have assumed that it was part of a twist…

I’m going to listen to Uncloaked as a podcast. I did last year and it worked really well.

I wonder if they were told they weren't allowed to do rock paper scissors or something similar.

Just finished watching - DS decided to play silly buggers with bedtime so I had to keep pausing to go and check on him 🙄

Glad my instincts (along with other posters) about Yin were right - if you can get that vibe from someone just through a written interview then they don’t have a hope on this show!

I’m sure they’ve all signed NDAs so can’t give anything away as to what happened, but I wonder if any MNers are friends/family of the current crop?

Off to watch SAS Rogue Heroes then I’ll listen to Uncloaked in bed!

Poor Yin - she's incredibly annoying. Did anyone else think it was pretty obvious the host and other guests on Uncloaked had taken a dislike to her but were trying to cover it up and act professional? It must be really hard to go through life with a personality that puts people off to that extent.

I didn't find her annoying, just bright and a bit kooky.

Yin was hard work going by that interview. She just kept repeating herself about bloody clothes. PHD in communication but doesn’t realise it was her communication style that made her be the first one out. Doesn’t say much for her education

It’s pretty common for academics to be totally lacking in self awareness and sometimes just plain common sense!

Loosing the will to live watching Yin on Uncloaked. Thank you Traitors

I have a very loose connection to one of them and seeing them appear tonight was the first I knew of it (but I've messaged the person I know them through and he did know they were going on, but as you say I assume they aren't supposed to tell anyone!).

I'd rather have watched Yin trying to analyse who the traitors were than some of the rather dull pp on there, at least she's a character!

Linda didn't play it well at the round table and I'm sure she will go. If I were the other two traitors I'd be throwing her under the bus and voting for her tonight. You can see the way it is going to go and I think it's best to blend in at this stage and follow the herd.

Then immediately recruit Jake as a new traitor.

She did, and was it also his back she was rubbing or someone else? Again a bit odd I felt for someone you have just met, or maybe Linda is just mega tactile!

I said this, but then my husband reminded me that stage actors often have to be quite exaggerated and hammy, especially in musical theatre/opera.

I think they definitely will be back later in the series but at some point the producers will hopefully pull a double bluff and they will be out of the game completely rather than coming back in. Maybe next time.

LTB.

She’s 70 as well, so was probably performing when opera acting was… less developed, shall we say?

I liked Yin a lot. I think she would have been interesting on the show.

I haven't watched Uncloaked yet but I agree that it's a bit of a shame Yin went so early - it would have been interesting to hear what she said at the round table.

I've watched the breakfast bit again - they were both very tactile with each other.

You've got to be silently smart, that's part of the game.
Talking too much will get you banished or murdered.

Watched Uncloaked, I reckon those three that got off the train make an appearance later on as otherwise I think they’d have been on Uncloaked.

I think they were primed to 'volunteer' to leave and will be back.
I want to see Armani go if only to stop flapping her hands in front of her face, so phoney.

It's excellent, can't believe who they got rid of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
