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

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.

Yes she did, the next morning she was planting the seed

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.

But in fairness to Charlotte, anyone who's watched the other series of the Traitors will know that recruited traitors always get thrown under the bus by the existing traitors. It's happened pretty much every time.

If I was Charlotte, there's no way I would have trusted Minah. I think Minah was rare in NOT wanting to frame Charlotte, but there's no way Charlotte could have known that or taken that risk.

I’m going to leave it a month til I’ve forgotten everyone’s names, then watch series 2 and the Australian one. Maybe NZ too!

But there have been lots of references to them, so I want to thoroughly forget first!

Mine too.

She is the whole package.
Brains, beauty, talent. What ever "it" is, she has got it.

No wonder she's hardly ever off the telly.

I think actually Minah is very similar and can really see her getting lots of presenting jobs. She is clearly very intelligent and kind (and looks great on camera) tv execs would be fools not to snap her up.

I can see Alexander as the next ben fogal/simon reeves

I think the producers did some clever editing, making out Minah was all for the sisterhood and Charlotte to be the bad guy. I don't blame Charlotte for not trusting Minah. She'd have turned on her in a heartbeat if she'd have needed to. Charlotte probably did the right thing in the end. I wouldn't mind if she won either. At least she's strategizing and planning. The faithfuls have been completely useless this series. I think the accent thing is also pretty clever of her. Her subtle Welsh lilt does make her seem quite 'gentle' compared to her usual southern English accent which is pretty posh and a bit harsher.

such a shame Minah went. but she was daft sticking to the sisterhood.
i really don't want Charlotte to win. I prefer Leane to her.

WinterCosiness · 23/01/2025 08:20

I think if Charlotte had been made a traitor from day 1, and Minah recruited towards the end, you might have seen different sides to both. Charlotte probably felt quite vulnerable and reacted accordingly. I felt very sorry for Minah, but, can't feel any anger towards Charlotte 🤷‍♀️

You need to make sure there's no gap in the section you are trying to make bold. If it's 2 paragraphs you need to end the first with an * and start again with the second paragraph.

You can edit to add in the *s if you realise you've missed a gap after posting

Innocentrailway · 23/01/2025 08:21

Recruited traitors are always on the back foot. Charlotte is just playing the game and good luck to her. And no she's definitely not the only one to disguise something about herself (not going to call it privilege).

Use quote to quote someone- saves on needing to bold!

But if you do use any formatting, you can use preview to check how it looks before posting.

Delatron · 23/01/2025 08:25

I don’t think anyone is saying Charlotte is not playing a good game. People just have favourites and that’s human nature. Most people don’t like Leanne but they did like Minah.

We will see if Charlotte’s strategy works. Her first goal was to get rid of Minah. She did that successfully. It was very targeted. Now she is focusing on getting rid of Freddie. Whilst flying under the radar of the others.

I’m hoping she can be foiled. I would love a ‘good un’ to win - such as Alexander. But equally we don’t know if he was recruited would he have suddenly changed?

marshmallowmix · 23/01/2025 08:27

Not a Charlotte fan at all! She’s set Freddie up now too …clever but not likeable for me…

Minah was too trusting of Charlotte or that’s how the edit made it look!

Jake to win I hope I like him or if not him then Freddie but he’s now in trouble …

There is a twist to come though so hope that outs Charlotte!

Not an Oti fan tbh on the after show, see her fan(s) from the SCD thread are on here 🤣

roll on tonight’s episode !😊

Claudia and her clothes are blooming brilliant !

PuppyMonkey · 23/01/2025 08:31

So we know for sure Minah would have taken Charlotte to the end and not turned on her at some point? Because if I were Charlotte, I wouldn’t assume that in the slightest.

@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 think so. On Uncloaked last night she spoke about the recruitment, and it sounds like she wanted someone who would have been a team and gone all the way with her

Agree - why would Charlotte trust Minah - she voted out both of the other traitors.

Yeah, so if Charlotte’s name had started to be mentioned by the others, she wouldn’t have joined in, oh no. Grin

myplace · 23/01/2025 08:43

@Feelingathomenow I’ve been trying to remember Ben Fogle’s name- they are similar, I agree.
Rise above kind of chaps.

redpickle · 23/01/2025 08:44

It's a shame Minah was on Uncloaked with Joe, I'd like to hear more from her as a traitor but he kept jumping in and answering the questions!! When they were talking about the "why am I still here, who is protecting me?" angle, the question was basically did the traitors protect their friends? Clearly a question for Minah (the actual traitor - duh) and monotone Joe jumped in and answered the question. SHUT UP!!

witchycat2 · 23/01/2025 08:45

Possibly @PuppyMonkey , but Charlotte was mentioning Minah's name first/planting the seed the next morning rather than following the pick
