The Traitors #3

[witchycat2]

Continued discussion for season 3 of The Traitors

I hadn’t realised we were so close to needing a new thread!

Joe comes across really, really badly. He is very sneery.

Having a punt that the Vicar is Francesca's mum, and Freddie is her grandson. The first 3-way!

I don’t get why AFAIK nobody has mentioned Joe for either murder or banishment.

I was glad Kas went tonight. I really liked him and it was uncomfortable seeing him ostracised like that. I think if he hadn't there'd be a good chance he would have been recruited and then banished and they'd all be patting themselves on the back thinking they were right all along. He got the last laugh this way.

And oh god I hope this is a spoilers thread or I've just put a massive spoiler in here. Can someone edit the title please!

As long as it's been on TV (as in TV pace) it's fine and not a spoiler.

All good panda. It’s a live telly thread

I’m actually wondering whether he would have quit if he wasn’t banished.

LOL!

Placemarking

I can't believe they'd have family members again! But good shout on Freddie and his mum,

There is a bit of a bullying vibe going on this time which I don’t like. I also don’t like all the histrionic weeping and wailing. Most of the contestants are not very likeable either.

Placemarking. Just finished watching tonight’s episode so going to stick Uncloaked on while I get ready for bed.

Sorry to see Kaz go, but once again demonstrating the power of “following the herd”.

Agree that it makes sense to recruit Anna or Freddie, but Minah needs to be careful as people with Shields can come under suspicion when there is no murder. It puts them on people’s radar as they start to question whether there was a genuine murder attempt or cover for a recruitment. She needs to hope that Leanne gets vocal about her own potential attempted murder so that she draws everyone’s gaze.

It's all very angsty and dramatic already this series

Yes, I'm so glad his final moments were on his own terms. It was horrible seeing him feeling so isolated.

I was thinking about the comment upthread about unconscious bias and trying to remember if any white players have left. To be fair, a couple have, but there are a lot of very average young white men flying under the radar at the moment..

I’m looking forward to the point when I know who’s who. Tonight I was still: “Who the fuck is Anna?” and “Oh I thought Joe and Dan were one person!”

Thanks for the new thread. DH is ill, he made sure that I noticed he was ill by making noises all the way through the round table.

Ha! Yes!!

@EVHead Dd and I said exactly the same about Dan and Joe

I felt the opportunity to seduce was either not that well explored or edited down a lot. Surely there was scope beyond Freddie, Anna and Fozia.

I knew Anna wouldn’t get voted out because she’s not had any airtime.

Im sure on one of the Sewing Bee threads someone pointed to research showing the minutes of airtime to how early someone is voted out.

Agree they were horrible to Kaz in a way he totally didn’t deserve. They have lost sight of the ‘being a traitor is kind of the game not an inherent personality flaw’ completely.

traitors actions were very predictable but perhaps that’s the edit. I assume they have recruited Fozia, but honestly I hope I’m wrong I feel like we haven’t had a genuine surprise since the first 10 mins of ep 1.

I don’t even know who jake is 🙈🤦‍♀️

Me too (& I'm Irish!) and it was only tonight I realised they were different guys!

I'm gutted Kas has gone as he seemed like such a nice guy & wish he'd called them out more on ostracising them!

Enjoying this series!
