The Traitors #10 SEER you all at the finale #TeamAlexander

[witchycat2]

The Traitors series 3 UK finale airs at 8:30pm on Friday 24th January, BBC1. Followed by a 45 minute episode of U cloaked.

Charlotte has a secret to reveal to Frankie... what will Frankie do with this information? Will she herself become collateral damage?

#TeamAlexander #JusticeForFreddie

I noticed that as well. But he's been closer to them anyway so maybe they wouldn't pick up on it/charlotte can say that that's the reason.

I dont want Charlotte to win because as the dolls said "you're too greedy" 😂 her lack of wanting to share and throwing Minah and Frankie under the bus

I dont want Jake to win due to his treatment of teddy bears and also Kaz

I don't want Leanne to win due to her mardy strops at everyone, and her being so horrid to Leon towards the end

Frankie 👀 I can't remember she's there or her name half the time

Alexander to win for being a thoroughly decent chap who had to put up with the worst bunch of contestants ever .....but he can't win on his own

the steal or share ruined the ending of an international series and left me very angry. I didn’t mind the hen Golden Balls did it because that was every episode but to invest week into a show then do it is v frustrating

Frankie needs to tell the others each on there own so that Charlotte does not know who has been told....I think they will believe her plus Freddie voted for her and he was a traitor...

I'd like Jake to win with Alexander, don't like Leanne at all....

@DazzlingCuckoos Exactly, he walked right into Charlotte's trap. He made a massive mistake with all the Minah business, he really tripped himself up bringing her name into it. What he should have done, once he'd realised Charlotte's trick, was to turn it right back on her, explain to the others how this could be a traitor trying to set him and Alexander up, that the Traitor was actually one of the people Leanne had told directly about having the shield and then turned the focus onto Charlotte. He did put Charlotte's name forward eventually but only at the end of the round table, he should have been going round during the day putting her name into people's heads. He, obviously, couldn't play the game as well as Charlotte and that's what it's all about at the end of the day.

Why was Freddie not allowed to say he was a Faithful most if the game but then became a Traitor at the end?

He realised he had been stitched up by Charlotte when Leanne told them she had the shield....if he had been more aware/astute he should have not agreed to kill off Leanne then he would have had more chance of staying ...easy to say from outside though looking in

That reminds me of this, best Split or Steal ever!

Hever Castle (Anne Boleyn’s old home now a museum) have done a Traitors parody in their social media and it’s brilliant

There’s been some cracking social media piss takes too. I won’t copy from Instagram as it gives your username away when you do it on here but also check out Austyn Farrell’s (Cher Lloyd piss taking guy) account for the dream girls/traitors mash up

He panicked and told a lie about Minah telling him about the shield. To backtrack and say actually it was Charlotte would make him look even more suspect.

I think it's the rules. They have to say their bit and then reveal faithful or traitor and immediately walk away.

Long time lurker and reader in The Traitors threads but first time poster - please be gentle!

I am surprised no one has suspected Frankie as a traitor yet.

She made the mistake with the Roman numerals in the coffin mission after the death match and then made a mistake with the 5 minute countdown yesterday in the gold coin collecting mission.

If I was a faithful then I'd be thinking she was deliberately sabotaging the missions!

You're right, but the traitors don't have any reason to sabotage missions unless it's to prevent faithfuls from getting a shield. It's in everyone's best interests to build up the prize pot. It has been suggested a few times that a good tweak to the game would be to give the traitors an incentive to sabotage the missions - this would give the faithfuls something to go on other than "vibes" 😅

There has been suspicion of Frankie before - at the round table where Leon was banished.

@mewkins If he'd never mentioned Minah in the first place then he wouldn't have had to backtrack. I wasn't suggesting he backtracked, I said when he realised Charlotte had set him up and had put the focus on either him and Alexander being a traitor because they were the only two that didn't know Leanne had the shield, he should never have said he knew because Minah had told him, he should have pointed out that this would be an ideal way for a traitor to set him and Alexander up, knowing they weren't party to the information about the holder of the shield. Obviously, he panicked and just dug himself deeper and deeper into a hole. Again, he didn't have the skill that Charlotte has in playing the game.

But then they slept, ate the memory wiping breakfast and spent the next day going for a different victim like my dog chasing empty crisp packets being blown about by the wind.

To be fair to Freddie he was completely on the back foot and had to think quickly. I think I would have panicked in that situation and reacted similarly. Charlotte has had time to think through her devious plans.

There’s a strong belief on here that if Charlotte is next to be banished, Frankie will follow in case she’s the one bluffing but I’m not sure they will think that way. They are generally daft, as we know, and some of them can’t help but be personal. This may mean Alexander goes next because he’s their person under suspicion and everyone may vote for him while he votes to keep Frankie.
I have been disappointed with Alexander’s efforts to rebuff suspicion as otherwise he seems bright and emotionally intelligent, but when the finger is pointed he goes stilted and doesn’t say a lot. I think someone mentioned this at the round table?
I really can’t call how it will play out but if I had a magic wand, Alexander and Frankie would split the money. Leanne is a narcissistic bully and Jake butchered a teddy (although I wouldn’t really mind him being in a winning three). Charlotte has played the game and if she wins, she wins, but I am still not quite over poor Minah going.

Alexander visibly darted his eyes at Charlotte when in the library. i think he's on to her.
Now he needs to convince the others. 6 Traitors would be very unlikely.

Desperately want Alexander to win.

Don't mind Frankie and Jake sharing with him if that's how it goes.

Not a Charlotte fan, more for her demeanour than her gameplay.

But the worst is that horrid Leanne.

@witchycat2 Exactly, he was taken by surprise and had to quickly think on his feet, he was basically trapped by Charlotte. This is why I think it's got exciting since Charlotte became a traitor, she really is playing a skilled game. Charlotte, herself, came up with the plan pretty quickly, she was told by Claudia to choose another traitor, so she had the brains to assess the situation with the shield and use it to her advantage, all in a short space of time. I think it was a brilliant strategy!

Alexander has had a much more difficult job than the others, trying to gain trust and make alliances as a late entrant to the game. He's had suspicion hanging over him the entire time, and that's the only reason he hasn't been murdered by now. He's by far the most quick-thinking and strategic faithful in there (I mean, giving Frankie his coins and asking her to choose him was a genius idea to prove himself, except she didn't choose him). I reckon if he hadn't got off the train he would have been murdered straight after Yin, for being "too clever".

As much as I don't like her, she's playing an amazing game. It wouldn't surprise me at all if she had already planned her game as a traitor before she'd even set foot in the castle !

He was really put on the spot and the last thing he expected was to see Leanne waltz in and to then reveal that Charlotte knew he had the shield.

Charlotte was suspicious of Minah as soon as she was recruited. Freddie, on the other hand, probably thought the best of Charlotte...they got on well and he foolishly thought that she'd recruited him to take him into the final. So he was really thrown off course and I guess the safest person to implicate was Minah.

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

Oh and great new thread title! 😁

@xsquared Yes, I'd actually love to see Alexander win as he seems to be a lovely person. However, the game is all about deception and you can't knock Charlotte for playing the game. I expect all of them make a plan in their heads about how they are going to play the game should they end up chosen as a traitor, even before the show starts, but Charlotte could not have predicted that she'd be in a situation where someone had a shield and then confided in only a handful of people about it. Like her or not, that truly was thinking on her feet.
