The Traitors VIII - Frankie ain't Freddie's mother

[witchycat2]

As we enter the final week of The Traitors series 3, who will be victorious?

I'd like it to be Minah, but I fear she's being far too trusting about Charlotte. Thanks for the new thread!

I’m going for the Shawl-Collar Jumpered One, but acknowledge that this is deeply unlikely. Or ‘Anyone But Leanne, Jake or Joe’?

i hope Minah succeeds

anyone but Leanne or Joe for me

i havent been able to read these threads as I was on catch up until now and am pleased to see I am not the only one who has gone off certain players

I’m in this space as well.

I actually think Charlotte has a good chance

I said to DH when catching up yesterday I hope they murder leanne, just really gone off her...ultimately Minah has played a great game as a traitor but I think she has a chance of being thrown under the bus by Charlotte!

I think Charlotte might have tripped herself up when she said to Freddie (?) that she thought it was Minah when he thought jt was Frankie. If that gets back to Minah, would she try and get everyone to turn on Charlotte?

I hope it's Minah. She has played a really good traitor. But, given the chance, Charlotte will throw her under the bus.

Please don't let it be Leanne or Joe.

Minah for the win.

The fact that Charlotte would clearly throw Minah, and Minah is naively saying she and Charlotte can and will do it together means, imo, that Charlotte will engineer Minahs downfall leaving only her(self) as the remaining traitor.

Is Wednesday the final day any of them confirm if traitor or not?

Same.

Is Wednesday the final day any of them confirm if traitor or not?

I think so, @JimHalpertsWife, as Claudia said they only had two more round tables where they’d do this. Friday and Wednesday.

I'm not sure Minah does trust Charlotte. She has talked about sisterhood, happily chucked her sisters under the bus, then embraced the new sister as if none of it had ever happened. I think she's quite capable of talking the sisterhood talk while having a brutal game plan to get to the end alone.

Letting Charlotte think they are playing a team game could be a very clever move on Minah's part. I'm still rooting for her to win.

Minah has played such an amazing game that she deserves to win. Her name auto-corrects to money so THIS IS A SIGN!

Sadly I agree that Charlotte will try and get her out. You’d hope the rest of them would wonder why C is suddenly so certain that M is a traitor and she must have been recruited, but they’re not the most astute…

I cannot fathom why Joe is still in. It must be the editing because we think he is THE most annoying person but the players keep saying he’s got a great personality!

Or it’s possible the editors are pushing this ‘Charlotte is devious, Minah is naive’ narrative via the edit to try to add a bit of spice to the intra-traitors relationship?

I mean, the relationship between the traitors has been entirely drama-free so far this season. Possibly in part down to Minah’s low-key manner. Her turning on Armani wasn’t preceded by any conflict, and Linda knew her time was coming and essentially gave Minah permission to vote for her. Minah and Charlotte are working together well.

Maybe the producers think it’s too amiable? Would it be too low-stakes if Minah and Charlotte just win, perfectly amicably, together?

I think Thursday will be the final day they reveal that

Wilf has an annoying laugh

Yes isn’t it just form the final banishment onwards that they don’t reveal if traitor or faithful? I do think that will mix it up a little but not that much surely.

I agree anyone but Leanne or Joe!

I agree if Minah starts to point fingers at Charlotte now it’ll surely look suss as she’s not been planting seeds. I’ll be upset if Minah doesn’t make it to the end though as she’s played a great traitor game. Sadly, I agree with PP that the traitors have all been too friendly to each other this season (even when voting for each other!) so there hasn’t been much added drama. Even though heavily edited the can still only work with the raw materials they have filmed and there just doesn’t seem to have been that much this year. Unlike like S2 which must have been the editor/producers dream. Lots of inter-traitor game play, back stabbing, lots of drama.

I’ve just finished a rewatch of it and would highly recommend even if you remember bits you’ll not remember the whole thing. I’ve really enjoyed watching it all over past week and bit between current show. It’s far superior in gameplay and casting. And Mollie was a much stronger character than I remembered her to be - she was very vocal at many round tables and really gung-ho in tasks and giving her input. I remembered her as being quieter with no input but that wasn’t the case and I think my memories must have been tainted by her actions right at end. Brilliant end episode too.

And was dressed like a giant apricot.

Whilst Minah has done well she has played a safe and dull game. I kind of want her to lose out on that basis. This has been the worst series so far.

I like someone's earlier idea of tagging traitors out and switching them with faithfuls. Not sure how it works logistically though. I also think there should be a way fir traitor to get a separate pot of money by doing extra challenges (in plain sight) or during the challenges

And maybe a way for traitors to double cross each other with prize pot.

I want Minah to win, but she was daft sticking to the sisterhood. Charlotte is not nice and hope she doesn't win. anyone but her or Joe really.

Thanks for the shiny new thread@witchycat2!

I think the next one should be called... Frankie looks like herself

Or maybe.... Frankie looks like everyone 🤣

I would be happy for Minah to win, or the faithfuls if they get rid of annoying Leanne and Joe. I don't want Charlotte to win, I find her quite snide (and I know that's the point of the game but yeah, just don't like her).

Any guesses as to what the "big twist" "superpower" could be? Immunity from banishment at a round table? Double vote at the table? Knowing the number of traitors there are left? Given the choice to switch sides?
