The Traitors #9 - 'why am I still here?'

1000 replies

witchycat2 · 23/01/2025 08:31

Just two episodes to go until we find out who will be victorious - the traitors or the faithfuls.

Will Alexander save the faithfuls?

Will Charlotte lead Freddie like a lamb to the slaughter?

Who will feel Leanne's wrath tonight?

Will Frankie cry at the banishment?

Not long until we find out!

Imagine if the twist is instead, Charlotte just reveals she’s not Welsh 😊

A simple thing for the remaining contestants to do is just vote both Charlotte and Frankie out on the basis that one of them is lying. That way they’re guaranteed to get a Traitor.

Yes but they wouldn't know either way as they're no longer allowed to reveal

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 23/01/2025 23:09

Charlotte is such a snake. I really don't want her to win. I mean, I KNOW it's the aim of the game but she does it in such a ruthless and un-empathetic way I just can't stand her

Even more reason to vote them both out

If I'm the seer I'd ask one of the under the radar players. That way I can completely rule them out, and team up with them, to then try and banish the others and agree to share. Some of the names are coming up are probably getting banished anyway so that's a greater share of the prize money

Leave you and your potentially new ally in, get it down to you, them and the traitor, then banish the traitor

Other case scenario is you find out an under the radar is a traitor and don't risk a Harry and Molly situation

That's Frankie's plan. It just that she happened to pick a traitor.

Yes. Poor Frankie

My prediction:

They'll vote out Charlotte and Frankie just to be on the safe side. As it'll be Charlotte's word versus Frankie's. So I think they'll both be outed.

I think possibly they'll out Alexander too. They might trust him more now but I still don't think Leanne and Jake trust him enough.

Leanne and Jake win.

JessyCarr · 23/01/2025 23:11

@APushbikeNamedReluctance I don’t think Leanne is the only one pondering Freddie’s parting vote for Charlotte. I think the way she mentioned it in the clip we saw suggested that they had been discussing it in the group and that the others knew what she meant.

I am hoping that once Frankie knows Charlotte is a traitor she realises her judgment has been off all along and rethinks her suspicion of Alexander. His giving his coins to her was a massive sign that he wanted to build a Faithful allegiance with her.

placemats · 23/01/2025 22:31

Frankie has played a blinder. However will she believe Charlotte?

Of course she won't. It's every woman for themselves. And well done 👍

I thought they have to be honest about who they are?

CaveMum · 23/01/2025 23:12

Foodaddict1 · 23/01/2025 23:09

Yes that would mean that one is collateral damage, but it’s a guaranteed way to get rid of a Traitor - 2 Faithful aren’t going to each claim the other is a Traitor after all.

They have to vote to end the game so they can keep banishing until only 2 are left.

Leanne and Jake win.

I agree, I think this is most likely outcome

Cruel cruel to do that to Freddie

I read somewhere, sorry no idea where probably here, that there’s a UK celebrity series in the making and there’s a few high profile people interested. I’d like casting similar to comedy panel shows, like Taskmaster or Would I Lie To You.

Like David or Victoria Mitchell - perhaps they’ll keep their relationship secret?

Emma Thompson

Stephen Mangan

Some UK pops stars who are popular at the moment but I wouldn’t know any

No one who only known off instagram or tik tok!

The luvvies will all be lovely to each other though, it won’t be cutthroat.

ViolinsPlayGentlyOn · 23/01/2025 23:15

How do we think Frankie will handle the reveal? I’d basically make an announcement to the room if I was in her position, but can’t see her doing that.

whaddayawannado · 23/01/2025 23:15

I think it is beginning to dawn on both Leanne & Jake that Alexander is a Faithful. Leanne gave him a big hug (which would have been unheard of even at breakfast) and Jake said he would have had to be incredibly unlucky to have come in as a traitor and also be last man standing after the card game as well.

So if Leanne and Jake have twigged that Alexander is legit and Frankie finds out she was wrong about both him and Charlotte so he has to be a Faithful, then where does that leave Charlotte?

#creek/paddle perhaps.

Which is exactly what Frankie has done

CaveMum · 23/01/2025 23:16

Re next thread title, on the basis that it will probably be the last one (unless we get carried away tomorrow night!), surely it has to include MN favourite Alexander in some way?

I'm not sure it will be the last one to be honest, this thread was only started this morning!

I'm back to loving Alexander and wanting to marry him. When he said to Charlotte "but how are you not?" Over and over. He is a clever guy

I think they will still banish Alexander. Maybe they will want to split the money 2 ways rather than 3

Bouledeneige · 23/01/2025 23:19

I'm sure in previous years the players were more analytical about the changing voting tactics of other players to build evidence/theories rather than relying on vibes and 'why am I still here?' And 'it has to be a man'. All totally random.

So as there's no more round tables or banishments except in the end game it's just Frankie's word against Charlotte's. Hopefully Frankie's testament will be seen alongside the fact that Freddie voted for Charlotte - the one clue he left. I hope they pick that up.

(Still I hoped they'd spot the writing on the picture in the car for the death match and the 'strong woman' clues.....)

She will probably cry and not know how to deal with it, judging by her track record

Agreed, I don’t think either of them can win now
