This is my first time watching and I’m enjoying so far, the only things I’m confused about is that they said they won’t announce when a traitor is banished but they are announcing when a faithful is banished so surely if they don’t make an announcement they will automatically know it’s a traitor

they were talking about the very final round, not the earlier stages

It's just in the final that they aren't going to reveal either way

Elen is GORGEOUS may I just say - couldn't take my eyes off her bone structure, so I'm sad to see her go 😂
Loving Linda, she reminds me of someone I know - was so affronted by Armani attempting to throw her under the bus at the first round table.

Is this show for real? the last two players down to breakfast can;t be traitors as they are always two out of the three the traitors were thinking of killing the previous night. everyone must know this

I said the same - apparently they do mix it up as the season goes on but it's glaringly obvious at the mo

I didn't watch season 1 but LOVED season 2. I was worried about this season living up to last season, but was assured by friends they'd thought the same after season 1 going into 2. However finished episode 2 .....I am a little disappointed. I'm missing Paul's pantomime genius and Harry's brilliance and Diane, and Ross, and Zack's crazy theories that never spotted real traitors, and Mollie, and the Jas knowing everything but not knowing when to show his cards, and Miles, and Andy....Do you think it will pick up and become as good?

Surely there are.better cast twists then "I'm not really Welsh, I'm really a Vicar, and I was a soldier" ?

I really hope so! I can’t remember if it was E1 or E2 that it was revealed about the familial relationship last year but i remember being like omgggg can’t wait for tne next one, what a shock but this year it’s all a bit meh. I do think though that the people who run this show will have found a way to top last year so we just need to be patient.

She is stunning isn’t she? And seems really lovely too.

That's just how it's shown on TV.

They film people arriving to breakfast multiple times (previous contestants have said it takes ages) in various order/combinations so it's not obvious to the contestants.

It was episode 3.
So I'm hoping there are more twists to come in this series.

ViolinsPlayGentlyOn · 03/01/2025 00:01

I’d forgotten that there was a relationship in series 1 that also didn’t come out until later (can’t remember whether viewers knew at the start, but the cast didn’t)

witchycat2 · 01/01/2025 21:20

They're doing that thing again when the last people to breakfast are the faithfuls who were potentially murdered. So the last people to breakfast are always faithfuls...

Bang on! Massive flaw with the format. Traitors are never in the last two in to breakfast. Unless someone’s recruited. Really helps whittle it down,

I was thinking that too. The last two people
are always the ones who nearly got murdered. . It gives the game away.

EdithBond · 03/01/2025 01:31

I got thinking maybeI the sisters being open about it may be cover for:

  • Another relationship that’s currently still secret, a la Diane and Ross. Keith called Freddie a ‘star in the making’ on uncloaked and I wondered if he may actually be his grandson.
  • A three way, where it’s not simply Armani and Maia, but perhaps one of their partners too.

I see that Livi has written a book about losing an eye to retinoblastoma (“My New Normal” by Livi Deane).

apricot9 · 03/01/2025 06:48

I think it's harder to be a faithful at the beginning but much harder to be a traitor later on.

People forget that at the start it's only about making sure you personally don't get voted out or make yourself a target for murder as the traitors will recruit and make it to the end regardless.

We haven't seen any shields yet I liked how last season they had to choose whether to go for a shield or go for money much better than season 1 where it was just random / chosen by producers out of the winning team. Also liked the sabotage element it was smart to play along for now but as the game goes on they will need the murders more!

army Barbie and Freddie will be kept in for a while

Yes the Welsh accent being trustworthy doesn't make any sense to me either

I wondered if she meant because she's otherwise a "posh" southerner and a Welsh accent makes her seem more down to earth or relateable

Was it me or was her welsh accent starting to slide when she was under pressure at the round table?

This has been discussed earlier. It's not filmed in one take

It's filmed, refilmed and edited

Partridgewell · 03/01/2025 08:12

Agree with what's been said so far, but I do think we need to remember that we're only two episodes in, and we don't know the players like we will at the end. I'm sure we'll all be screaming at the TV by episode 6.

All she did was cry and protest that she wasnt a Traitor. Not exactly effective.
I hope all the weepy wet lettuces are voted off.
Charlotte, Armani ( though of course she is faking) and anyone else.

But she looked smashing while she did so 🤷‍♀️

I mean, it's not Love Island. I prefer the ones who play the game, not look pretty.
