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

[witchycat2]

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!

There's little point in accusing someone like Leanne lying about having the shield when he knows she's telling the truth. Can you imagine how incandescent with rage she would be?

She would absolutely vote for Freddie to banish, and I dont think he would have risked increasing the number of votes for him by lying.

Of course they will agree. Its a heavily produced and edited game show

Charlotte is awful and self obsessed! Team faithful’s.

I've said before, people can like or dislike who they want on the show. Sexism doesn't come into it. If Jake was doing a diary bit about throwing Mina under the bus, he would get a similar response here.

I am guessing that most people are anti Charlotte because Minah was popular and gutted she was banished.

its annoying that if you are not rooting for Charlotte its sexism, or about her looks.
maybe its the way she is playing the game and pretending to me welsh.

I think Charlotte is relying on Freddie either already having too much suspicion on him to be able to convince anyone otherwise, or that he isn't capable of pulling it off. She's picked him: a) because he doesn't know about the shield; and b) because she thinks he's not ruthless enough to convince the others he's a faithful.

On the face of what we see, there's no way I'd want to throw Alexander under that bus - he's much more savvy.

Similarly, I think she's also counting on Leanne not being smart enough to consider she might have accidentally told a traitor she had a shield.

If you're a faithful I think absolutely any story anyone tells you could be eminently believable.

I loved it when Minah said something like "someone here is a fantastic liar"! I couldn't have kept a straight face!

I realised this morning that I have to work late tomorrow so won't be able to watch it live! Aargh!

DH wasn't too fussed about it when the series started, but he's well and truly hooked now. I'm definitely going back and watching the other series and any foreign versions too (Traitors newbie here!)

I've never thought about her looks or compared her to Minah. I would say they're about the same in attractiveness if I had to give an opinion. But I don't care what she looks like, I'm just not a fan of her strategy or from what we've seen of her.

I mean if they'd thought about it they could all have said they had the shield 😆

Just watched last night's and had to pop on to go OOOH CHARLOTTE now going back to catch up with the threads. Well played.

Does anyone here care about the twist or think it's a good thing to introduce it at this point in the game?

Also: Leanne is never going to forgive or forget the two-faced thing. Lifelong mortal enemies

Wonder what Leanne will be fuming about today 😆
Think Freddie or Leanne will get banished

Yes, she’s proper fuming! 😂

Well, whatever Leanne is pissed off about today, we can rest assured that she will take it out on Alexander. She really doesn't like him, does she?

Hmm… yeah I agree Minah is considered far more conventionally attractive (in many peoples opinion) but I don’t think that’s why people prefer her to Charlotte.

Or because Charlotte’s a woman - I mean Minah and all the traitors have been women too 😆

I think Charlotte’s style of playing a traitor has just rubbed people up the wrong way and the fake Welsh accent isn’t helping. And she was never a fan favourite even before becoming a traitor.

Most of all though it’s because rightly or wrongly she is perceived as having orchestrated the downfall of Minah who is super popular.

I went on Charlottes instagram and she had to - or chose to -. limit her comments now because of the criticism. I did see it a few days ago before she limited comments and people were criticising her.

I feel with the UK traitors both players and the audience take it too seriously/ personally. It’s gotten a bit better towards the end of the game but at one point it was too much with all the crying and people sulking or ignoring each other.

Minah was one of my favourites but I didn’t dislike Charlotte although I can see why others do.

re. Leanne’s fitness I think she did say during the statue challenge that she was downplaying her fitness. I think she’ll be out soon and Charlotte will win although personally I’d love Alexander or Jake to win.

I think Charlotte has played the game extremely well. I'd be happy for her to win. Or Alexander, for being a good egg.

Leanne is the only one who really hasn't come across well in my eyes.
So, she'll probably win.

Just going to put this out here. Charlotte's Welsh accent I don't recognise. Is she culturally appropriating? As someone born in Northern Ireland (Norn Iron), I would hate that someone did a fake accent. Plus probably would spot it immediately.

Edit My ex was Welsh and his university friend was from Barry.

Her mum is from Monmouthshire and she is emulating that accent.

Do they keep banishing until they're happy the players left are all faithful? I cannot remember from last year.
If they do then ideal outcome for me would be Frankie murdered, Charlotte Leanne (she'd be fuming) and Freddie banished and Jake and Alexander for the win.

That makes sense regarding the accent. Thanks @Turkeyhen

Yes until they vote to end the game. But in the final the banished players won't say if they're traitor or faithful

Don't mind the fake Welshness but her smirking really grates on me.

Maybe it will be something completely different to what we think it is

Fabulous, thanks. Come on team Jalexander!
