The Traitors 7 (with optional Bingo cards!)

[ScruffMuffin]

New thread for Episode 9!

And now (no expense spared)... here are ScruffMuffin's very unofficial Traitors Bingo Cards. No expense spared! Feel free to pick a colour (white, blue, pink, green or yellow) and play along tonight. We'll be playing here! Of course, you could use the excellent chart already supplied by another poster on the previous thread instead.

HOUSE RULES
If you hear something very similar to, but not identical to, the words on your chosen card, the other people in the room get to decide if it's close enough. If you're watching on your own, mark as you see fit.

Have fun!

Amazing how no one commented on Leanne booting it up the hill carrying a load (almost like she's a solider 😄).

I suppose with those washboard abs it’s clear she is a gym queen!

This time next week I’ll be bereft!

I stalked Leanne’s insta the other day. To be fair to her she’s had a very eventful year or two; she gave birth to premie twins and her partner has had cancer. She did 12 years in the army, so I respect her for that and what she’s gone through. However, she does have massive main character syndrome, as a pp said. Everything she written on Insta is ‘I’ this, ‘I’ that, ‘my’ babies… no ‘we’ or ‘our’ going on. If she were my partner I think I’d find her insufferable 😣

I agree. Also, it is easy as viewers to forget that we’re only seeing a very specific view of the players, i.e. how they are reacting in a very intense but ultimately artificial environment. I’m struck by how often I change my mind about someone I disliked when I see them on Uncloaked. There is often more than the side we see on the show.

I like Alexander too, he was very selfless in the tasks. And his laugh when he fell in the bush at badminton - such a good quality to be able to laugh at yourself.

I think some of them knew Leon probably wasn’t a traitor but they had nobody else to vote for.

I don’t get why there are so many weird floral decorations on the dinner tables? The ‘dinner party’ last night looked like cheese and grapes…..

It feels like there is very little catering that goes on at the castle. Everything pre-prepared and laid out (to go stale)..I guess because filming takes so long and food gets in the way with continuity.

Minah clinging to the sisterhood is going to get her banished.

Charlotte was ready to jump in with Minah's name until it became obvious Leon and Franky were going to get the most nominations.

As soon as it suits Charlotte, she'll toss her under the bus.

I also think Minah is too reserved at bringing names to the round table. You get away with that when there's lots of people there but now they are down to 7 it's going to be very obvious.

There's a board games cafe near us that runs Blood on the Clocktower sessions with a guide- I haven't done it yet but maybe check that sort of place to see if they do it.

I don’t think Minah can win now even without Charlotte throwing her under the bus. Her name is out there so much that I can’t imagine anyone agreeing to end the game while she’s still there, and there are enough more obvious Faithfuls left in that she wouldn’t get down to the final two.

I hope it's Leanne who got murdered. She's self-important and vain and it drives me nuts that she's always flicking her hair back!

Charlotte isn’t just using a fake accent she has a completely different personality when she’s in the tower / interview room (unless it’s clever editing). I like her, I want Mina to win but if Charlotte wins I’ll be more sad that Mina hasn’t then annoyed the Charlotte has. I don’t think Mina is playing the game as well any more, now she no longer has Linda to manipulate. If whiny joe or main character Leanne win I’ll be really cross!

Apparently they are all taken in cars and blindfolded for the last ten mins so they don't know where they're going. They have two security guards on each floor and aren't allowed out without someone with them so their lodgings aren't separate as described. Before breakfast they are all kept in separate rooms and called out . The person who has been murdered gets taken to the room with the letter and then is spirited back to the lodgings to pack and accompanied to the airport. So that isnt' done in the evening, it's done in the morning. It sounds a bit suffocating. Also most of the day they are just sitting around chatting about general stuff, we only see the conversations about the game itself. They aren't allowed their phones either. I can see why they start to weep and wail and consider people close friends when they've just met.

They also aren't allowed to walk around the castle grounds unless they are in range of cameras.

Also, the breakfasts are supposed to be pretty unappetising.

I find it hard to believe she was in the Army. She really isn't a team player at all. Totally self absorbed.

Just listening to the news quiz podcast she even they are laughing at the traitors yourself instead of you!

Someone said in the last thread that the diary room segments aren't filmed after the series has wrapped up and that they're definitely filmed throughout the day,. Yet Minah is always in the same white top and red jacket. I notice it every time because she really suits the red.

Another one joining in the Joe hate. That bloody snide, "Oh, can we not have the tired and confused act 🙄," to Alexander. 😡Must be taking all of Alexander's diplomatic skills not to knock him out.

The bit where the murdered and banished meet is done the morning after the murder and banishment.

The Talking Heads is done during on the day. You can tell that from the clothes - they are the same as they have on that day - except the murdered person who must do it later.

It was on a podcast - that after the death match, when it took a most of the episode before who lost was revealed - you could guess who lost because everyone but Fozia were in the same clothes. Didn't spot it myself!!

I think no one will imagine gormless Charlotte being a traitor

That’s exactly it. All the people I have met in the armed forces have been team players. Leanne really isn’t. Everything is ‘me’ and ‘I’. Unfortunately she does come across as vain and self-absorbed. I have no doubt she’s creating an image (‘Army Barbie’ as a previous poster said). It seems a bit of a waste really.

Traitors is not a team sport and everyone who thinks it is has lost badly.
Except the 3 in S 1 UK, but that only because they were practically led to the end.

I agree, but she comes across as very vain and 'me, me me'.

That I agree with. But I am not into influencers. I like real, less groomed people.

Agree that the game is not a team sport. However. some of the players are clearly team players by nature and this really stands out during missions. You can be in the game to win as well as be a decent human being. I do wonder if any of them are cringing watching the final version on television. They really will be seeing the best and worst of themselves.

I think the tasks should be 100% team sport and if anyone doesn't work with the team the task is lost. No shields, no money,.

Makes it all the more fun at the round table when they have to go against each other.

Plus the traitors need to either chose to either prevent shields or get money.
