The Traitors #2

[witchycat2]

Carry on discussion for the 3rd series of The Traitors

This is a shorter version of who's who.

The Traitors season 3 cast | Confirmed line-up | Radio Times

I still think Anna and Leon are still not actually in it. I have no recollection of seeing them.

I do. Because part of the show is getting to know the players. And we are starting to get to know some things about some of them, but not all.

Linda only ever says. "Yes" "exactly" Never anything original

I saw Leon last night, and genuinely thought, who’s that? He’s not featured at all, or even been in the background of shots.

Me too!

Thanks for that link.

I do think that this bit was badly worded. It sounds like Army Barbie (who is called Leanne, who knew!) gave birth to her partner!

I think it's happened in both the previous series - you get near the end and think 'who the hell is that?'. Hopefully some of the interchangeable guys will go soon and we'll see more of the others.

I think it’s a sign of the good editing, keeping us engaged to the end.

Well I've been down a rabbit hole investigating who could be related/connected. I'm even rewatching on the iplayer. Suddenly I can't differentiate any of them, they've all moulded into one. I would be useless at this game, I'd run myself in circles

I think there's something wrong with me, I laughed when he said it, mainly because I had only just said the same thing to my partner.
When Jake was saying he was a Doctor by day and a killer by night-I straight away said "Doctor Death! -Harold shipman"

I feel sorry for Kas. There seems to be a huge anti-intellectual streak in the round table this year.
Joe is also a really bad advert for English teachers. I just keep thinking he’s such an awful judge of a character, the kids must run rings around him. And echo @Piggywaspushed - he’s not that bright and definitely would take credit for other people’s work. Now Armani has gone, he’s my least favourite. They probably will vote Kas next. So stupid! And his Shipman comment was amusing and the ‘blame’ for it is with the people who said he would murder people at night because he was a doctor!

There’s definitely an anti-intellectual streak! If previous seasons show though, the thickos win. Aaron, Meryl and Hannah were all as dumb as a brick and still won. Mind you that’s because Kieran basically treated and Wilf had a meltdown before the final vote. But is Kieran hadn’t cheated Wilf would’ve won

I refuse to watch the 2nd season of US traitors because if I hear Alan Cumming butcher his own accent with an exaggerated “Americans love Scottish people as long as it’s a ridiculous caricature!” Twang I think I’ll thump the TV. The way he princes dollars in season 1 was ridiculous. Never heard a Scottish person say “Dooo-lairs”

I’m still not over this. Wilf deserved to win.

Ugh.

Very clever 😂

I like Leanne. She looked absolutely furious last night, an army veteran hard as nails and will have been through all sorts of training and ops, being told what to do by a loudmouth PITA who doesn’t have a clue how to row

Yep. Aussie season 1’s biggest character was only really noticeable from half way through

I'm still waiting for her to out herself with some skillz.

He did. Kieran broke the rules at the eleventh hour and they should have just ended it there and sorted it in the edit

In one of the other country versions, a Traitor thrown under the bus almost breaks the rules, like Kieran did. I won't say which but it ruined everything.

Kieran said that Wilf was a Traitor. Wilf said that Kieran was. You're allowed to accuse people of being Traitors even if you know it's true! Kieran was just a bit cleverer in how he did it. "I think you're a Traitor", meh. "Parting gift, mate" - same thing but more convincing, especially if you don't actually say it.

I think it's so unfair that Traitors are allowed to force recruit in the end game like that, so it's recruit or be murdered. I know it's an unfair game to start with and that they want to keep the drama up to the last minute but that is just too much, being able to force moves like that.

And if anyone ever got robbed, it was Jaz in S2! Ugh, I know it was in the rules etc but damn it, he was the cleverest player there's ever been, cleverer than Harry, actually got it to a point where you really could use logic and reason and...aaaargh!

I disliked Wilf at the time but in hindsight I agree, he played the game well and should have won. The mistake he made was recruiting Kieron.

If he'd recruited Aaron, I'm sure he could have convinced Hannah and Meryl to banish him at the fire pit and the others would believe they've found the last traitor. Kieron would have been banished first in the final. If Kieron had said Wilf is a traitor and then banished as a faithful, the others wouldn't have believed him as how would he know who the traitors are as a faithful. Him outing Wilf and then revealing he's a traitor means even the dumbest of the dumb would know the truth.

Alternatively, if Wilf had recruited Hannah they could have won it together and split the pot (better to get 50:50 than nothing surely). They could easily have convinced Meryl that Aaron and Kieron are the traitors.

With Kieran it was the way he looked at Hannah, looked at Wilf then back to Hannah. Great TV but most definitely cheating

Caused a bit of a row here - I thought it was a fabulous moment and great TV, DH was just annoyed about the rules being broken!

This is the first time I’ve ever watched it! Minah is playing a good game. Linda needs to be careful - she is going to go to pieces because she’s actually as dumb as a bag of rocks, and Minah will sell her down the river.

Jake had a point with the getting off the boat rant BUT the fella who argued with him (Dan? Joe? Wtf knows honestly) also had a point. I would have been pissed if I were Jake though!

I feel sorry for Kas and think he’s probably a really clever and nice person in real life. The toast was utterly ridiculous though and he did come across as a bit of a ‘politician’. Then he shouted about Harold Shipman on the telly 😅🤣. I loved that bit.

The writing was on the wall for Armani after the turret business with giving out to the other two.
