Minah is playing a blinder, but does anyone else think that the fact she didn’t get murdered might lead to suspicions about her? And I have a slight concern that Linda might put her foot in it at breakfast, forgetting that Minah’s theoretically at risk, or something?

Armani is too extra to be nice irl she comes across as a fair weather friend, excellent on a night out, not so good in the tough times.

I hate the wait til Wednesday, so unnecessary BBC 😉

This group are definitely the most vocally self interested ‘game playing’ group of all the series so far. I guess it’s part of having experience of watching the game. A lot of it makes sense from an individual’s game playing perspective - they have after all caught a traitor early- however, from a viewers point of view the missions are more satisfying if they are prepared to self sacrifice for the team. The shift so far is very much onto the majority getting a shield not the minority as before.

The whole unwillingness to self sacrifice thing does feed into Yins theory that the three who got off the train were plants though. Certainly the shows psychologist should have known damn well which ones would get off the train and having 1 per carriage is convenient.

The idea that the show psychologist would know which person would get off each carriage is laughable 😂 psychologists are not psychic! They might have been able to have a vague stab at guessing but don't forget they didn't have to volunteer - the groups could have used any means to decide who would get off

I like Kas, trouble is the group will go for him for the same reason the traitors went for Yin. He’s too academically clever and not enough social intelligence.

His Shipman outburst was ill judged but logically you can see how it happened- he was rightly furious at being accused of being a traitor just because he’s a doctor and therefore must murder by night….

I thought they were accusing him because because he's smart

I think her sister should have had her back, I think her sister threw her under the bus as well as Minah.

But didn’t Armani first mention Maia in a slightly negative way - I wasn’t surprised when Maia bit back

KS34 · 03/01/2025 22:48

I wondered if Charlotte might be related to Alexander, the former diplomat. When he got off the train she said, oh Alexander. Probably reading too much into that though!

UselessCookAnonymous · 03/01/2025 22:49

Someone in a previous thread mentioned that they thought Jake and Minah were a couple or something? (Or maybe it was a guest on Uncloaked who said it, can't remember!) They showed them saying good night to each other tonight and she said "love you so much". She doesn't come across particularly close or affectionate with other candidates so I think they might be onto something! Seriously impressive to have guessed it so early if so!

APushbikeNamedReluctance · 03/01/2025 22:49

Who said Kaz much be a traitor as he's a doctor so saves people during the day and murders at night (like a big dope).

Also - asked on other thread - what did Curtains say that everyone though was bad?

Oh did she? Perhaps I missed that bit.

ViolinsPlayGentlyOn · 03/01/2025 22:51

Interesting that Armani thought it wasn’t a good idea in hindsight to declare that she and Maia were sisters.

I think they look so similar that most would have worked it out quickly anyway, so I don’t really see they had an option.

APushbikeNamedReluctance · 03/01/2025 22:52

Also why is Minah at risk?

Honestly it's like I'm not watching 🤣

I don't think any of the remaining faithfuls have mentioned Minah being a possibility have they? Her voting for Armani will have put any doubts of her being a traitor on the back burner for now. The heat is on Kas and Linda.

Speaking of Kas, that's another reason why I don't like Jake, because he made that horrible doctor by day, killer by night comment. That's just Jake peddling his own bizarre prejudice against Kas. Kas did overreact, but few people would have been able to keep their cool.

I would like to see Jake getting recruited and see how mouthy he still is!

It was not so much what he said but the way he delivered it (if I’m talking about the right comment). Armani had just been voted out, Maia was crying her heart out and Tyler jubilantly said something like “sorry your sister has gone (clearly not sorry at all) but yes we’ve got a traitor!!”.
It was just harsh celebrating in a crying persons face, not v empathetic.

dapsnotplimsolls · 03/01/2025 22:55

Yes, he was really rubbing it in and not accepting that she could be upset.

misunderstoodmetoo · 03/01/2025 22:55

I find Armani insufferable. So pleased she's gone. The arrogance of telling the other two to do more - utter confidence that her way of playing the game was the right one. When actually she was drawing far too much attention to herself.

Of course we'll never really know because of the editing but I think quieter people tend to do better (as both traitors and faithfuls) than the big personalities.

I like Kas - but agree Harold Shipman outburst was bizarre. On the topic of bizarre, the decision from Charlotte to play as Welsh has to be up there as one of the stranger tactical decisions I've seen.

I've binged it all over past 24 hours. Enjoying the twists in the format - they've figured out the tasks were boring us and I'm pleased they've found a way to make them link more to the overall traitor hunting game vs just prize money. I missed how they've changed when they stop revealing traitor/faithful on banishment from - was it final 5?

Unfortunately still no name boards to guide spelling at the round table. "Nather" was new to me Confused

I cannot cope with Armani on Uncloaked. She is SO affected. I'm finding her silly accents she's putting on unbearable.

She is like the class bully.

TheBluntTurtle · 03/01/2025 22:57

I just can’t believe that Harold shipman was mentioned at the round table - and it was kept in! 😂

Notsuchafattynow · 03/01/2025 22:57

Just watching the aftershow now, I like Armani. She's confident but also self effacing. She can see how she came accross and acknowledges she was oblivious.

Good for her.

I think those three will have been primed to do it. The chances of one person in each carriage being willing to do it is unlikely. Everyone would just look at their shoes and hoped it went away.

It was brilliant. Why did nobody laugh? It was a genius joke, I’d have been howling at the table.

I always find it interesting to see who doesn’t get many votes. Had Livi ever been voted for? Or Army Barbie? In the last season I don’t think Molly got a single vote but made it to the end.

They did have an odd conversation near the end, when it was just the two of them. I thought Jake said something like, I hope this isn’t the last time I see you, and she said oh no it won’t be. Which, if I heard correctly, I thought was an odd thing to say especially to super-sus Jake.

It was only a hint, but I’d have been pissed off if I was Maia😄

I can see why! For someone to liken you to a serial killer is pretty shitty.
