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?

Have they...?

Fairly sure Leanne is hiding the fact she's a soldier.
Lisa hid that she was a vicar...

Anyone else think the ability will be The Seer? And someone will definitely know another players role?

Didn’t Charlotte start mentioning Minah’s name the minute she became a traitor? You can argue it was self preservation or a very calculated take down..

Freddie now need to do the same. It will look obvious and he’ll probably end up sacrificing himself but he’s out anyway and he could just try and help someone else win.

I agree it’s a game. But I don’t like Charlotte so would prefer someone else to win.

Same. Utterly ruthless.

Last night I started to wonder how much of this is 'scripted' . It was totally out of character for Leanne to have told 3 people she had the shield. She'd been saying earlier how she didn't fully trust anyone. It all seemed too convenient for Charlotte to then have that set up for her to select and manipulate Freddie. I felt like we were being played by the producers rather then watching people genuinely making their own decisions.

I wonder how the Seer will be elected? If Frankie is the Seer then it’s going to be a challenge for her to be listened to by the others. Leanne is outspoken but they don’t listen to her either. Jake was voted as having the most influence in the previous mission. I hope it’s Jake to take the heat off Alexander.

I think that was very obviously scripted, as was Charlotte’s decision to get Freddie to agree to try to murder a shielded player to throw suspicion on the only two people who didn’t know she had the shield.

I really hope Freddie does fight now. I hope he finds out Charlotte knew Leanne had the shield, realises she’s set him up rather than getting rid of another Faithful and persuades enough people the Traitors were both quiet and under the radar. And Charlotte's the other. The only satisfying outcome now is Charlotte loses, when she could have jointly won with Minah. I need karma to do it’s work.

How has she "disguised her privilege for personal gain"?

Is it a privilege not to be Welsh??

Interesting how they are thinking Jake is a traitor. With all the "why is he still here' business they haven't thought he might be a devious traitor who was gunning for other traitors from the start.

I'm hoping she's underestimated Freddie.

Minah suggested the clique to Freddie, but he was the one who went into the lions den, called them all a clique, got them to turn on each other AND walked away unscathed

He's also defended himself successfully several times.

The only question is whether he can now do it as a traitor.

I have no appetite for another Keiran situation where a reluctant is recruited to be sacrificed.

It’ll be interesting watching it play out that’s for sure. I’m still Freddie or Alexander for the win. Don’t mind Frankie. Defo don’t want Charlotte or Leanne. Jake not fussed!

I hope Frankie proves she’s not irrelevant and takes out Charlotte.

Freddie was well able to call Minah out at the round table - about how she's never actual made an independent decision but just gone with the group at the table.

I think this is a real weakness in the game. Accept or be murdered. Not much of a choice but thems the rulesz!

@witchycat2 sorry to bother you but we’re perilously close to the end of the thread…. 😁

and at the rate we’re chatting it will be gone while I’m cleaning my teeth 🤣

I don't understand why, at this late stage, she had to recruit at all. Even if they do "catch" her tomorrow, they won't know. And they won't know how many are left in.

I suppose the viewers will know it's a faithful win, but if you are like me, that wouldn't stop enjoyment of the game - likely they'll still vote someone out at that point anyways just to get out someone they have a minor sus about.

I’m really interested in how many on here don’t like Charlotte and how she’s playing the game - I think she’s brilliant, although fully suspect the “failed murder of Leanne” set up for Freddie was suggested to her by some producer type. Who cares? it’ll be hilarious.

Yes. He did get it right eventually about Minah. So that may make the group trust him. He needs to be clever but if he thinks clearly he may be able to take Charlotte down.

Maybe not - it came to my mind the second she heard Leanne had the shield, so not too challenging an option to consider.

Freddie is going to realise he's been set up by Charlotte as soon as the shield conversation is mentioned.

I think so too. It was always fun but yeah it kind of ruined the game.

Yes, I’m a little taken aback at how many people feel negatively towards Charlotte. She’s playing the game according to the rules. She hasn’t behaved in any way unpleasantly beyond the requirements for self-preservation necessary to functioning as a traitor who is going to last longer than five minutes.

And I assume whatever contract you sign as a contestant means she doesn’t have the capacity to resist producer scripts like ‘conceal your knowledge about Leanne having the shield to create a patsy traitor for a little extra tension in the next episode’, any more than Leanne had the capacity to say ‘No, I don’t want to tell two specific people I have the shield and tell them to conceal it’,

He's still apologising too!

I think it's because Minah has been so popular since the start. And Minah was all about 'girl power' and wanted to win with Charlotte but Charlotte was trying to get Minah out the minute she became a traitor.
