Is there a celebrity traitors thread yet?

[CarefulN0w]

Cast announced as, Stephen Fry, Mark Bonner, Celia Imrie, Alan Carr, Joe Wilkinson, Nick Mohammed, Ruth Codd, Paloma Faith, Lucy Beaumont, Charlotte Church, Jonathon Ross, Kate Garraway, Joe Marler, Tameka Empson, David Olusoga, Claire Balding, Tom Daley, Cat Burns & Niki Omilana.

I’m looking forward to this. I have a feeling that it will be harder for the celebs - some of whom must know each other - to trick people, but will definitely be watching. I’m glad it’s a good cast with several comedians.

Now wondering who would be good traitors. Mark Bonner in a cloak would put a smile on my face, but I’m worried that Alan Carr could be a Linda.

Off to a great start!

Loved Claudia's cloak. Needed more Mark, for visual appreciation.

Not much from Lucy or Joe W yet - a good omen for the longevity of the comedian contingent? Celia could go far, or have an important role, because she got her own special intro with the winking portrait. I like Wossy but think he'll be banished before poor flustered Alan, especially as he's already put his foot in it.

Good mix of celebs, definitely a cut above the reality celebs from US Traitors. Only ones I don't know are Joe M, Niko, Ruth and Tameka.

Yep (and you thought you started threads too early 🤣)

And she was SO bad at it! The worst celeb partner I’ve ever seen. Zero rhythm and stiff as a board- she had to be pushed around the floor .

She reminds me of Nina on Corrie

I’m thinking 16 deaths.

8 in each

Aargh can’t sleep so was going to watch episode 1 on iPlayer - but it’s not working 😢

Hugely entertaining! I need to watch the other ones now as I’ve never seen it before.
Are there only three traitors ? Doesn’t seem enough people ! Nick is amazing , his character in Ted lasso wasn’t great , but he seems lovely.
Love mark Bonnar , always had a bit of thing for him.
Alan as a traitor .. just gold

@the80sweregreat the traitors are sometimes given the opportunity to recruit other traitors

@the80sweregreat you’re in for a real treat! Personally I’d suggest starting with the 3 UK series first and then if you want more you’ve got the US/AUS/NZ versions.

Personally I switched off from the US version (everyone in it is a minor celeb) but others love it.

Re the number of Traitors just remember the odds of finding one at the Round Table in the early days are lower due to sheer numbers so the herd will quickly thin with 2 people leaving every day.

Stephen forgot Lady Montague. Did you remember her?

Did you not see him, at nearly 70 getting stuck in pushing that bloody horse ?!

I would have been as obsessed as him about that question. So I, too, must eb a wet lettuce. Clare has a Cambridge English degree so I don't know why she wasn't (edited as being) more interested!

That's a hard question and the producers set it to either make him look like a failed know it all - or to see who gave a shield away. Either way, Clare cocked up so that didn't happen!

I saw Stephen at the weekend in the Importance of Being Earnest. He was so brilliantly funny.

R&J: Romeo, Juliet, Tybalt, Mercutio, Paris, Lady Montague
Hamlet: Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, Polonius, Laertes, Ophelia, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern
So I think 14. Old Hamlet/Old Fortinbras/Yorick die before the play opens. I wish they'd revealed the answer on the show 😂

Tweet Ed Gamble - I’m sure he’ll try and slip it into Uncloaked!

I'm laughing at people calling Joe Marler 'rugby guy' They must not watch much reality TV. Joe Marler is the new Iwan Thomas - here. there and everywhere.

When he gets going he'll be great. He's witty, dry , very very cutting and nobody's fool. They underestimate him at their peril. He might also upset someone.

Did you include Lady Montague who dies off-stage? I did. Old Hamlet not included imo as his death precedes the action of the play.

Joe Marler is the new Iwan Thomas

Nope, still lost me.

ChatGPT made it 15. Another wet lettuce here, I had to find out last night. It’s a terrible question if there isn’t a definite non-debatable answer!
Mark B was counting on his fingers too and I’m pretty sure he’s done a lot of Shakespeare. And Celia Imrie - by which I mean, I don’t think it was just set up for Stephen

ChatGPT includes Old Hamlet, who dies before the play starts, though. And if you include him, you need to include Yorick and possibly Fortinbras Senior as ‘significant pre-play deaths’.

I make it fourteen, though with a caveat over Benvolio, who dies in one Quarto.

What would happen if the traitors failed to murder someone?

I’m not sure it’s ever happened. No idea. I suppose it’s just a lost opportunity for the traitors to start whittling down faithful numbers? Or, if Claudia tells the assembled group at breakfast that the traitors failed to murder in plain sight, I suppose it makes them look weak.

I am a little bit in love with him. its the eyes.

I guessed 15 died in R&J and Hamlet. But that was with my brain creaking, so I might have missed 1 or 2.

We loved episode 1! Alan as a traitor is pure gold.

Not mad on Claudia's outfits so far - the drapey sleeves gave me granny hanky vibes or hideous boots (my son thought she had surgical boots on!). She must be the only person though, that can make skinnies not look dated as fuck.

Laughed out loud watching it, Alan is going to be hilarious at breakfast and at the round table.

Loved it and I absolutely love Alan. But I do think he’s going to cock it up and completely get in a fluster and panic and murder someone who has a shield - just because he’s going to fall over himself and literally just grab the nearest person

Claudias coat at the horse was ok, but the sleeves looked a bit too medieval for my liking. I’d end up with them in my food if it was me ( plus I’d look hideous in it )
