Do the contestants socialise at their Hotel in Inverness that they go back to or are they all locked in their rooms ?

In the above article it says that they don't socialise and literally just sleep their with security guards on each floor.

Saw on X a bright spark spotted Linda’s incriminated herself. She writes old-fashioned ‘z’s (with a tail), and she wrote Fozia’s name down at the round table as well as on the grave pic.

😮Ooh, yes

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 11/01/2025 07:22

Great episode.

I guessed there would be murder in plain sight last night. Episode 6- time to ramp it up. I’d prefer Fozia to stay rather than Leon I think.

Mina’s is playing an outstanding game.

Really pleased Livi has gone. A bully and should have been pulled up on it on Uncloaked.

Except every night at the round table when they have to write names on a board and show everyone 🤣

Oh yes. Well, nothing to see here.

Yes, and they didn’t seem to gang up on each other much. There was a sense of camaraderie.

They were mostly celebrities and knew each other so they had genuine networks and public personas to protect.

Brodie was rather conniving though - although less obviously to them.

Pumpkincozynights · 11/01/2025 07:33

What I would say is that the other 3 especially Anna, were traitors. So Leon out=faithfuls.
Alexander and Fozia recruited as traitors and this is just a cover to get a faithful out.
Anna also under suspicion for not revealing that they had tried to recruit her, then surviving being murdered not once but twice.
Asked how they managed to bake sure Leon out, easy to have a code. We used to do it in netball. You hold the ball in a certain way to indicate to your team what is going to happen.
I think Anna looks very suspicious. The boat thing and now allegedly surviving 2 murders.

Pumpkincozynights · 11/01/2025 07:35

This is the first time I really want the traitors to win,
Is Minah Derren Briwns niece? Is she secretly a mind reader or something?
She deserves to win and so too does Linda just for being Linda. In all other series I’ve rooted for the faithfuls but not this time.

Pumpkincozynights · 11/01/2025 07:35

Browns.

Loopytiles · 11/01/2025 07:39

Poor teamwork by Anna not to reveal rightaway to the whole group that she’d been invited to be a traitor, and she still hasn’t revealed the ‘strong, independent woman’ wording of the letter - withholding two clues.

happinessischocolate · 11/01/2025 07:41

I think Leon will stay and Fozia will leave

No idea how the cards game will be played though with 2 people and 2 cards, no matter who goes first it's going to be obvious which is the life card.

I don't think any of us mentioned "strong, independent woman" as a potential clue to be fair to Anna. Only now after Sophie Willan said it on Uncloaked.

healthybychristmas · 11/01/2025 07:48

There was a moment this week when Frankie was walking with Alexander, I think it might've been in the clown task, and they just looked like a couple.

I've also wondered whether she is Freddie's mother.

I'm convinced there is more to her than we are seeing!

Is the guy with coloured hair a trans woman?

Is Minah Derren Briwns niece? Is she secretly a mind reader or something?
She deserves to win and so too does Linda just for being Linda. In all other series I’ve rooted for the faithfuls but not this time.

I'm not really rooting for either as a collective entity. Likewise, I've always been team faithful.
But, this year, which till last night, I couldn't really get into, it's more about specific individuals for me. As mentioned in my earlier post, I'm probably in a minority of not being a Minah fan at all. I do think she's a phenomenal traitor. But, I'm not keen on her as a person (from what I've seen in a heavily edited telly game) I don't like the way she exacts revenge on anyone who crosses her. It's unpleasant. Also the sheer glee she gets from her traitor role, and the lack of a remorse when she ends someone's chances by murdering them. She's scary!
Linda's hilarious! I don't like the way she's been towards Fozia. But, otherwise, I love that she's an obviously terrible pantomime traitor, but keeps surviving! There'd be huge comedy value in her winning, though I think it's unlikely.
I loved Kas and Elen. Jack seemed lovely from the glimpse we got. I have found many of the faithfuls very disappointing. But, of those who remain, I have a great respect for Fozia and Alexander. I like Jake, and obviously he's been right about Linda from the start!
I'd be happy for Fozia, Alexander or Jake to win I think. There are others we've seen less of, like Alex. So, can't really give an opinion on some of them. Poor Yin and Keith didn't get a chance. It's a brutal game in many ways, and I don't really approve of it morally. But, feel compelled to keep watching! 🤭

Lentilweaver · 11/01/2025 07:57

If Minah doesnt win, I will be so upset. She is not exacting revenge. She had to get rid of Dan because he was on to her.
Quite often the stupidest person wins and that is so frustrating like in S1.

I am always on the side of the Traitors. They are way more entertaining.

dhfoody47 · 11/01/2025 08:01

Not loving this Season as much as the others ..
Missions are pretty pants
Why are at least 3 of them dressing as CBeebies presenters?!
I like Mineh, she's playing a blinder
Linda 🤦‍♀️

Lentilweaver · 11/01/2025 08:02

Oh and I actually missed the " strong independent woman" bit in Annas letter. Yes, that was a big clue she should have revealed. And a rare mistake from Minah.

Minah could have thrown useless Linda under the bus long ago. But she keeps saving her.

Well, I do think Minah's an excellent traitor, and is playing a very good game. So, yes, she deserves to win in that sense. But, we're all entitled to our opinion, and I personally just don't warm to her as a person. Obviously it's not about personalities, it's about the gameplay. So, you're right about that.
But, I can't help but root for the people I actually like! 🤭 Unlike you, I'm always naturally team faithful. Mostly just because I'd be a completely hopeless traitor (worse than Linda!) so the faithfuls are my natural choice. Though, as stated, less so as an entity this year.
I just naturally like the very obviously lovely people like Kas! Can't help it.
I do respectfully disagree with you that Minah wasn't exacting revenge on Dan. Yes, she knew he was a threat, and it was partly a gameplay. But, definitely she was pissed off, and wanted revenge, she as good as said so. Same with Armani.
But, it's fine that we've got a different opinion on that. It'd be a boring thread if we all thought the same 😊

ZeusandClio · 11/01/2025 08:07

@healthybychristmas Alex is a woman, not a transwoman which is a man. Alex is obviously on testosterone but you can tell quite easily from her lack of Adam's apple, body shape, size etc that she is female. I imagine it's even more obvious in real life.

I think Leon and Leanne are a married couple.

Think Linda wrote the seduction note.

I think it makes sense to keep a poor traitor. Means there's a better chance of being the only one at the end.

If they get in a strong traitor means a high chance of being done over by them.

Linda is comedy viewing. Love her as a traitor. I actually think she's not acting - bar the crying at breakfast (which she said she planned to do) I think she's just got an over the top expressive personality.

Lentilweaver · 11/01/2025 08:08

I did think Dan or Livi would be Minah's Molly. Now she needs another Molly.
Maybe Leanne.

Leanne has a wife.

WinterCosiness · 11/01/2025 08:12

I think the other reason I am naturally team faithful is that the game is weighted so heavily in favour of the traitors. So, I always just feel more sorry for the faithful.

I don’t think Leon and Leanne are a couple at all. Firstly because Leanne has a wife. Secondly if they were a couple then they would be a bit daft being so close all the time.

GameOfJones · 11/01/2025 08:14

I said to DH immediately that the "strong independent woman" wording was a huge clue that a woman had written that letter. I'm pleased they picked up on it on Uncloaked (although I didn't consider it could also have been written by a gay man.)

It does seem strange that Anna didn't tell the others what the letter said, and none of the Faithfuls asked her what the letter said. You'd think that when she revealed it you would be asking "what exactly did the letter say?" as it may be a clue or it may help to weed out whether she was lying or not about receiving it. A missed opportunity, definitely.

Pumpkincozynights · 11/01/2025 08:14

I know Linda's crying was ott but nobody mentioned Livis constant crying after every single banishment.
I want Jake out. I just don't like him.
