Page 40 | The Traitors #9 - 'why am I still here?'

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!

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

Agree, as others have said because of the seer thing it now comes down to who the others believe between Frankie and Charlotte.
I know Alexander totally believes Frankie ( anyone else think fancies her ?)
But the fixed opinions of Jake and Leanne mean whoever they think will be the deciding factor , Jake has discounted Charlotte ( why oh why) and Leanne follows his ideas but there may be a teeny worry there as Freddie named her.
Really don’t want Charlotte to win, justice for Freddie and Minah.

Jake is probably the one of the remaining players who is least objectionable, and shows some actual deduction skill, so he probably deserves to win.

Disagree with this. Apart from Linda, he has got everybody else wrong. He fully trusted Minah and he thinks it can't be Charlotte.

I’ve found this year’s cast very unlikeable on the whole, with a couple of exceptions. Minah deserved to get to the Final. Fozia would have been a fantastic player if she hadn’t gone in Death Match.

Couldn’t bear Linda or obnoxious Joe. Also can’t stand Frankie, she’s such a highly-strung, entitled middle aged woman (I bet she’s on MN) and she gets everything wrong. Even screwed up last night’s mission by getting everyone to end the mission when they had 2 minutes left. She’s really irritating.

Leeanne is far too aggressive and I really dislike the way she runs off for a confrontation any time her name has been mentioned. Has shown nothing of her supposed army intelligence tactics. She’s only still there because people are frightened to say her name at the round table.

Alexander is nice enough, but really just a posh public school boy, hasn’t done much with his diplomatic skills and he’s really not as clever as some seem to think.

Would love to see Charlotte turn tables on Frankie now and take her down with her. But also don’t understand all the hate on Charlotte. She hit the ground running as a Traitor and has been a great one so far.

Jake is probably the one of the remaining players who is least objectionable, and shows some actual deduction skill, so he probably deserves to win.

I am confused as to what's wrong with being a middle aged woman. I don't see Frankie as entitled either but putting her down for her age really riles me.

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

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

Charlotte has to tell the truth.

Charlotte is stuffed now isn't she.
If the others consider that Frankie is a traitor then she would know the status of the other players and the only reason for picking Charlotte would be to tell the others that Charlotte is a traitor so that Frankie can win all the cash.

If they then consider that Frankie is a faithful, and she comes out and announces that Charlotte is a traitor then they should believe her.

Frankie's biggest risk now is that the faithful consider the first position I outlined and start to suspect her. She needs to have a logical reason for having picked Charlotte - such as Freddie wrote her name down.

Well quite! If frankie was actually a traitor then she would have chosen literally anyone else to meet with before she chose Charlotte. Alexander especially as it would be really easy to convince everyone he is a traitor. In Uncloaked though they made a very good point that this series more than ever they have gone off 'vibes' rather be rational about things.

I mean it would be really easy to sit down and analyse Freddie's behaviour over the last few days and deduce that he is a recently recruited traitor who has been set up. He was a worse liar than Linda so no way would he have been a traitor when he started to suspect minah. And his final vote for Charlotte should have been a massive flag to them all.

Frankie has never come off as particularly influential or strategic before, so she will have a tough job trying to convince the others, apart from Alexander, that Charlotte is a traitor.

That said, I think Charlotte has given herself away a few times just with her body language.

The eye roll when Freddie brought up her name at the round table, and looking away from him and cupping her cheek with her hand, the smirk when the others catch Freddie's lie about knowing Leanne's shield all before he got banished.

The "that's all of them gone" after Freddie's banishment, and her getting all animated and forcing a grin to hide her panic.

I'm sure she will fight tooth and nail to get Francesca banished, but I am so glad that one person knows for certain that Charlotte is a traitor. I didn't like Charlotte from the start and for some reason, I found her even more irritating in this episode, so I'm looking forward to watch her squirm, even if she does manage to win. The others would be really dumb not to vote Charlotte out at this stage.

Sadly, a Jake and Leanne win will be a bit of an anticlimax for me. It will be like Hannah, Aaron and Meryl all over again.

I agree with all of this. Charlotte is clearly starting to feel the pressure and is doing a little too much (just like Minah did). I think a few have clocked it - Alexander and Frankie have shown a flicker at some of her very recent behaviour. They need to get someone else on side... maybe appeal to Jake's rational side as leanne is going on her gut which is astoundingly unreliable 😆

Poor Freddie showing himself to be a terrible traitor and all round good human. Mind you he started with being thrown under the bus before he even accepted.

I feel quite auntie-like towards Freddie. Like I want to invite him round and make him his favourite meal and ask about his love life and make sure Uni is going well 🤣

I've literally only just caught up but Freddie!!!! It's clearly not in your nature to lie because you were an awful Traitor!!! I just wanted to give him a hug and tell him that he'd just dug his own hole.
And what a cliffhanger! I honestly can't stand Charlotte (don't know why, it's just an initial feeling about her from the beginning), so please don't let her win!
I reckon Frankie might have it in the bag now

VelvetWildflower · 24/01/2025 12:06

I really want the faithfuls to win this one but I want Frankie to win too and I'm afraid they won't stop the game with the idea that Frankie may be a traitor even if they do get Charlotte out and it makes me sad.

Frankie trying to run down to the coffin on the waterfront in slingbacks solidified her as an icon. She needs the money for new ones.

I actually quite like Jake. I know many on here don't, but I don't really understand why?

@WinterCosiness If you have been watching the series from the start, many of us started disliking Jake when he accused Kaz of being a traitor, and making the "saving lives during the day and killing by night" comment. This was very ordinal and to be fair, a pretty moronic thing for Jake to say. Kaz was ostracised up to his banishment, and a lot if people felt that he and Joe were the driving force.

He's very forceful and argumentative I find, and often wants to have the last say.

I haven't minded him as much over the last few episodes, but I don't like his anti Alexander attitude.

This! I was saying to DH last night that he is growing on me, but this has really reminded me why I didn't like him, especially that ridiculous comment about doctor by day etc. and I hated the way they treated Kaz, it was horrible.

This is why I don’t want her to win by default. She’s never got it right. She’s basically stayed in by bullying others so they’re too scared to point the finger at her.

He reminds me so much of my stepson! I really wanted him to pull off a last minute blinder and turn the tables on Charlotte

happinessischocolate · 24/01/2025 12:37

Freddie should have done an Alexander and just agreed with Leanne, kept saying he didn't try to kill her but didn't understand who did. Then later after having time to think and speak to Alexander he could have pointed out the flaw in her theory and even used Charlotte as an example. "If Charlotte was a traitor she could use the info to try and make you suspect Alexander and me"

His mistake was trying to come up with an excuse when he didn't need to
