Why does everyone look grumpy in the photo? Alan looks especially grumpy and a vibe of “I don’t want to be here to have this photo taken”

Love Nick’s jacket, I so want him to win

WatchThisGladys · 05/11/2025 12:53

Cat is quite tall, I think.

Earlier this year, I saw Nick's live show and he did a mind-reading segment with four audience members, in which he had to work out who was telling the truth and who was lying. He got this right, so I had high hopes for him in The Traitors.

He also described the castle as as though, "Dracula had got all his stuff from Dunelm" 😂

Oh yes, not disputing any of that. Just the height stands out a bit in that photo.

I’m also surprised all the others seem to be the same height. For some reason I thought Cat and Alan would both be shorter and Joe Marler taller.

Joe Marler is a front row scrum player, they are not always very tall - he is 6 ft.

SmallAngryPenguinWoman · 05/11/2025 13:00

Yes, Nick is very short.
Been watching the latest series of Slow Horses, and it's very obvious.
Still lovely though 😍 Nick/ Joe for the win!!

I think he has managed to work out quite a lot; it just doesn’t really seem to have translated into being able to influence others. It’s a shame he didn’t team up with Joe a bit earlier.

The Traitors played a very good social game, spreading themselves across different groups. I wonder if production almost picked them TOO well.

Joe isn't tall. He's just built like a brick shithouse.

I think they're all just doing their 'serious' faces!

CapabilityBrownsHaHa · 05/11/2025 14:09

Google tells me that Cat is 5ft 4ins, and Alan is 5ft 10ins. Maybe she's got clompy boots on in that photo?

RubieChewsDay · 05/11/2025 14:12

I just also googled and I think that is there is another Cat burns that is getting the search engine confused, she's clearly around the same height as Alan!

17/19 for me.

I probably need more of a life!

SoScarletItWas · 05/11/2025 15:02

15 for me but I should have got one more; didn’t read the answers properly 😖

CaveMum · 05/11/2025 15:06

16/19 here

Should I be proud or should I get a life? 🤣

Must Try Harder.

Look at the body language in that photo. I have liked Wossy during this series, but would you get a woman sitting like that between two men? I think not!

Was it the last series or the one before where there was a really obvious epidemic of manspreading on Uncloaked?

WatchThisGladys · 05/11/2025 15:27

I'm too embarrassed to say what I got, but it was rubbish!

In the edit, some things look so obvious to the viewers, who know who the traitors are, but at the time, maybe they didn't stand out at all?

I have seen nervous face touching from Alan and Jonathan and also each of them clapping a hand over their mouth after they say something dodgy. But not Cat! Despite comparing herself to a duck who's paddling away madly under the surface, she comes across to me as a very cool customer.

gingercat02 · 05/11/2025 15:39

12, disappointing 😞

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 05/11/2025 15:40

I got 13. Would have got 14 if I had read one of the questions properly but I was only skimming.

Must try harder.

The final really should have been tonight- a delicious way to finish the week, snacks and wine in front of the TV, real group viewing. I bet the ratings would have been massive instead of putting it off until the middle of next week.

I so hope David doesn't win, he's a total drear with his soothing patronising voice. Has his tongue been surgically removed from Fry's arsed yet?

Alan has been a terrible bitch, but he does deserve to win for the entertainment value brought to proceedings.

I miss JR'S energy.

Yes, such a shame that the final isn't on a Friday as has always been the case before. Especially as so many kids are watching it.

Compared to non-celebrity players in other seasons, he’s not remotely aggressive!

I’m rewatching the UK season with Amanda, Wilf and Alyssa as the original traitors, and both John the spa therapist (frequent raised-voice monologues, rising out of chair, hand held up to silence specific other people he doesn’t like) and even more so, Hannah the big, blonde comedian, are spectacularly aggressive as a regular thing.

Hannah in particular has an incredibly confrontational manner, regularly shouts either at individuals or in a general way (I’m FUCKING SICK OF THIS! Just vote me out! I’m not having this!’) and her whole demeanour down to her posture and expression is menacing. It’s pretty clear, rewatching, that people aren’t bringing up her name at round tables (despite some suspecting her) because they don’t want to invite her fury.

I’m unusually sensitively attuned to male aggression (for the usual sad childhood reasons), but I don’t get a problematic vibe at all from Joe.

I think Alan doesn’t his scrutiny because JM isn’t one to be deflected with humour, the way Celia was when she asked him outright if he was a traitor. Alan will make a joke, but Joe just keeps looking at him.

It reminds me of Leanne in last year's Traitors - her aggressive style bullied others into not voting her off.

Yes, and he'd already said he was worried about how the heck he was going to do the task because he's 5 times the size of everyone else! When you're trying to do something tricky, the last thing you need is several people all shouting instructions at you at once.😂

True but it was interesting with the bridge mission when paired with David how he volunteered to go over the bridge. Given his size I would have thought David would have been more nimble.

JoeMarlerseyes · 05/11/2025 17:02

I don’t think Joe is a bully. Alan is far nastier, he just does the fake laugh afterwards.
is Cat the only woman left?
if not surely she is toast as there has to be a female traitor.

And can you imagine a 64 year old woman having her own prime time chat show? It's interesting how Jonathan Ross emerged from this unscathed https://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/oct/27/russell-brand-jonathan-ross-andrew-sachs-calls and Alan Carr managed to take part in this and it was forgotten

I got 14/19 in the quiz. Bit annoyed that I knew Cat described herself as a duck and I thought Nick suggested shuffling the chess teams first. Also got some early ones wrong.

Agree lovely Nick looks very dapper and surely there's no way Cat can be 5 foot 4 - she's always seemed tall walking about the house.
