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!

We had 'unexplained' infertility we told no-one at the time but have been very upfront about it since we managed to have DS (via our 3rd IVF cycle). Charlotte was probably opening up about something she hasn't told many people about and was aware that it will now be out there for everyone to know about her.

'Just relax, forgot about trying, go on a nice holiday' is often trotted out advice to the infertile (even by Doctors) - especially if there isn't an obvious medical cause.
I wondered if she momentarily considered not mentioning her fertility and almost went with the big holiday as what she would spend the money on but then decided to open up.

Yes, he’s not insanely UC or anything — he presents as fairly standard UMC.

On Uncloaked bonus content

Just caught up. I'm pissed off because I'm pretty sure that Jake is getting murdered based on the fact that in the closing seconds, Minah said (of the intended victim) 'This person is a very good Traitor hunter' and previously in the episode, someone referred to Jake as a good traitor hunter. FFS I'd have taken Joe or Leanne (although preferably Joe as I want to see Leanne fuming that she's been banished). I hope I'm wrong.

And also, there is a new theory doing the rounds on Twitter at the moment that says Frankie is Freddie's mum 😳Apparently a few people have had the thought for a while and at the dinner, Frankie said she'd like the money to fund her son's University and Freddie said he'd like the money to fund University, and now the theorists on Twitter are besides themselves. I can't really see it, but it would be a far better reveal (although equally pointless twist) than a hidden army career and ropey Welsh accent.

As I said earlier can we PLEASE have a sticky that Frankie is not Freddie's mum?

When you are struggling with infertility you hear no end of stories from well meaning people about their friend/cousin/sister who was told she couldn’t have children but then got pregnant on holiday. The same people will also tell you to relax. Apparently thumping them is bad.

It’s been going around here as well. Think we concluded that Frankie is everyone’s mum. Including Linda’s.

I don't get the issue about the head. Who cares whose head any of them carried as long as they agreed whose would be taken at all.

In fairness to Charlotte and Minah, I understand why they keep Leanne. She hasn’t once got it right with a traitor and steers the conservation towards faithfuls. That must be useful to them.

Has Joe got ot right ever?

Agree
I think it was pretty unpleasant of a poster to suggest she might have been lying - fibbing about your accent isn't exactly in the same category as pretending infertility, I can't think many people would lie about that.

Wrt the sob stories, remember pink haired Alex suggested everyone telling theirs to work out who should get off the train in the very first episode? Made me roll my eyes then. As annoying as Joe is, at least he was upfront about his. It's not a morality contest, and there's nothing intrinsically "better" about paying for uni or IVF for yourself than going on holiday.

Apart from Alexander none of the others were exactly selfless - not that wanting babies or giving money to your current children or parents is selfish, at all, but at the end of the day it's only benefitting your own family, so as individualistic as Joe's answer really.

Me too! And it has been driving me potty too. She is so familiar. Surely someone out there knows, and can put us out of our misery?!

I think the head thing is interesting because it shows the way people change their behaviour to fit in with the dominant behaviour of the group.

This lot are (now, less so during the earlier raft task) quite collective minded - if there had been a few more dans and leannes (and possibly jakes, after seeing the way he nabbed and hid his shield in the creepy doll task) in the group you might very well have had a completely different scenario in which everyone was just bringing their own head up the hill and fastest person stuck theirs on.

It would be an interesting version if you had two teams - 1 a more individualistic leanne, dan, jake, led one, another an Alexander, kasim, frankie, fozia one, doing the same tasks and seeing how they did them differently and which is more successful.

Oh god, sorry, I have been skim reading as these threads move so fast. It was 'new to me'.

I'll get my cloak coat...

Bad, but completely understandable. And many of us would come and hold your coat while you thumped them. (And don’t forget the one about couples who adopt and then magically conceive.)

No, I really don’t think anyone would lie about this.

I can confirm that Frankie is not Freddie's mum. Don't ask me how I know, I can't tell ya!

I dont care why anyone wants the money. Harrry last year appeared to have spent it on flashy clothes, but he played the game best and deserved to win.

I wish one of them had said they want to spend it on Botox and fillers! Instead of all this misty eyed " I only want it to help other people".

Can't abide Joe or Leanne

Do you know, or are you, Frankie. If so who does she (you) look like? Have you been on telly?

Leanne’s reason to have another baby just seemed to be so she could experience a full term pregnancy. Nothing about anyone else. And perhaps I’m being simple here but assuming that she’s fertile then can it not just be a turkey baster job?

The only way this can now end well is if Joe gets murdered, Leanne banished and then Frankie, Freddie and Alex banish the traitors

No, I really don’t think anyone would lie about this

Yeah but who would lie about being Welsh too 😂

Slightly off-topic for this thread, but I have just learned the most random thing ever: John Bercow (the former speaker of the House of Commons) was a contestant on series 2 of the American version of The Traitors.

I’m wondering if she’s been an interior designer all her adult life or was something before? Or has she appeared in a makeover programme. Even her voice is familiar
