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

What’s the issue with Joe and Leanne? Loads of people have said anyone but them!

Leanne was incredibly rude to Alexander at the round table calling him patronising, and when Leon came out of the coffin after the death match, she complained that he was off with her and made it all about her.

Joe - Where do I even start? He was rude to Kaz before his banishment, and just mean in general. He also seems to suck up to Jake, which I find nauseating. He might be a nice person in real life, and it's all to do with editing, but there does seem to be an anti-Joe club online. In fact, he even has a thread completed dedicated to him on Digital Spy, and it's definitely not an appreciation thread!

MounjaroOnMyMind · 20/01/2025 15:46

Joe has the most boring voice, hasn't he? And he is a traitor's dream - he's never voted for a traitor but has responsible for getting lots of faithfuls kicked off.

Yes it's very robotic. I pity the students who have to listen to it

Thanks for answering the question!
I thought it was just me who didn’t like Joe but I can’t put my finger on why I don’t like him.

He’s probably a really nice bloke in real life!!

Joe was so nasty to Alexander at the last roundtable that I was genuinely surprised it made the edit: "we're not doing the exhausted, hazy, confused act" in that voice just made him look awful.

RealHousewivesOfTaunton · 20/01/2025 17:30

Who will be victorious?

In the Traitors or in the fight to the death to marry Alexander? I heard producer Amy from the Radio 1 breakfast show has thrown her hat in the ring.

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?

Can't be knowing the number of traitors or they'd know to just keep eliminating until they'd found 2.

Crocsake · 20/01/2025 17:32

I think that’s the problem with Joe, he is so absolutely so and so is a traitor that he thinks that’s a reason to be really unpleasant to them. Whereas others are able to make a distinction between a traitor playing a game and a human who you should be interacting with a basic level of respect. Frankly he’s just a bit of a knob.

Lazarusc · 20/01/2025 17:37

Thanks for the new thread! I must admit, I have heard Leanne describe herself as passionate and emotional, but she comes across as aggressive and confrontational instead. I suspect they have murdered Jake but would like Leanne to go next. Swiftly followed by Joe.

Can I have some 'finale' ideas?

I've bigged it up to DS1 and his girlfriend that we're making a proper night of it.

I need themed snacks. I may try and find some gloves.

It's not too late to order matching Traitors underwear. DH likes the boxers but a poster on a previous thread said the bra is really itchy.

It looks like the Alexander fans have a lot of competition...

I’d like to see Jake murdered, then Joe banished then Leanne murdered and then Charlotte banished. In that order would give a satisfying final. Then it’s either Minah for the win or if they manage to work together Frankie and Alexander. I’ve forgotten one but either of those outcomes in the final would suit me 🤣

Snowmanscarf · 20/01/2025 17:48

Jake’s grown on he as well.

I still think there’s still a chance that Alexander will banished or murdered.

Does anyone know who’s got the fewest votes? Possibly Jake?

ScruffMuffin · 20/01/2025 17:49

I've been team Traitors this time, because Minah has been so good and Linda was a laugh. I don't think Minah will get to the end, sadly. And I fear Charlotte will slip up/ be too obvious. I now think the Faithfuls will win, but would prefer it if whiny Joe and sulky Leanne didn't!

ScruffMuffin · 20/01/2025 17:49

As for, "why am I still in?" Because you're stupid, love.

AppleKatie · 20/01/2025 17:51

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 20/01/2025 17:49

Freddie

Oh yes, Freddie. He can ride on Alexander and Frankie’s coattails into the final. I imagine if it got to three Alexander and Frankie would banish Freddie.

whaddayawannado · 20/01/2025 18:03

Breakfast scene with random croissants and half-full cups of cold coffee...

Leanne: "Why am I still here?"

Everyone else: "I think we're all wondering that too."

I’ve just listened to the TV Worth Talking About podcast and someone has sent in a theory of a big twist they could throw in - a Faithful is taken by Claudia to the turret to spy on the Traitors. They are told that if they outright tell anyone what they have seen they will be removed from the game. It is their job to lead the Faithful to uncovering a Traitor without the Traitors discovering what they are doing.

towards the end of the Danish version, one person is given the option to meet with someone of their choice privately and they have to answer truthfully if they’re a traitor or faithful.

it then becomes a game of who can lie better when they meet the rest again and each gives their version of the meeting.

i saw a faithful being booted because the traitor convinced the others that the faithful was lying.

yes! i was wondering what year he teaches.

imagine your child’s gcse depending on this guy, i would fall asleep during his lessons.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/01/2025 18:19

Joe was mean to Dan, who I liked, and mean to Kas, who i also liked, he is just sneery
and I like Alexander too

witchycat2 · 20/01/2025 18:28

Freddie is this year's Aaron. If the faithfuls manage to win I think he will be one of them

@FridayNight1975 The Tab said he's a secondary school teacher, so it must be years 7-11. Maybe he's totally different in real life (doubtful)...
