It would also have been easy to just stay off the internet. There were spoilers everywhere about 2 minutes after the show finished.

I’m really not comfortable with how many people are having a go at OP when she simply started a thread. She hasn’t done anything wrong.

This. Stay off the internet if you don’t want to know. Even in the coffee shop people were discussing it yesterday morning.

On The Rest Is Entertainment podcast, Richard Osman said that probably they did know & discuss that, but it just wasn’t included in the edit because it’s not as fun for them to be basing their votes on the background workings like that.

The problem is, if they agreed that, why did Joe voting for Cat make Nick think he must be a traitor?

I really love Cat's new song ...

Thanks for sharing. Yes, I love the happiness and positivity and simple message of this. Her voice is gorgeous, as is she! 😍

Watching Uncloaked, I’m not sure even Nick is sure of his logic for it. Upthread I was trying to rationalise that maybe he just overthought it, maybe he felt Joe was too confident that he (Nick) was a faithful and that was suspicious, maybe he thought Joe lying to Alan and Cat and saying he’d vote for David was odd. But actually I think it might just be that sometimes people just make silly decisions that even they can’t properly account for.
Plus of course there is a lot we don’t see, and it might be one off hand comment that just sticks in someone’s head and makes them doubt.

Nick hosting some kind of puzzle show in his red velvet jacket and bow tie I can definitely see

I saw this earlier then went to read some of the comments on the Neuroblastama Facebook page . Then had a good cry 😭

My adult dd was otherwise occupied on Thursday and couldn't watch it until yesterday evening. She managed to avoid the news of who'd won, and she's usually glued to her phone so if she can do it, anyone can.

I got a text from her yesterday evening after she'd seen the final, saying "ALAN WON!!!!" and I replied saying "I KNOW!!!!"😂

NewAgeNewMe · 08/11/2025 11:36

Brilliant!

Tofufuton · 08/11/2025 11:50

That's lovely. I'd love to know everyone's charities, they could all do so well! I remember loads of donations to Mencap after S3.

Campaign Against Living Miserably was Joe M’s. He’s been an ambassador for years.

I agree it would be no skin off the BBC’s nose to release the charities list (with permission) as people might well be inspired to donate to whichever for all kinds of reasons. It’s not as though they need to let the public know who got most.

Mimosa3andmore · 08/11/2025 13:28

Joe M was on Saturday Kitchen this morning for anyone that's interested 🙂

dont criticise ed gamble
he is great!

He is, and a great advocate for people with Type 1 diabetes

BobbyGentry · 08/11/2025 13:58

I would have also liked to have known the chosen charities too! Seems a missed opportunity and uncharitable not to share.

It is Children in Need on Friday 14th, so maybe they want viewers to donate to that?

Does anyone know when Traitors Ireland will be on iplayer?

Yes.
jts a bit sad for those charities who get their hopes up and ultimately get nothing though

i’m really pleased about the PR neuroblastoma UK has had.

also I suppose producers must have feared that the charity choices might have skewed the public perception of the traitors/ who we most/least wanted to win

The discussions about class are really interesting. I come from a background where my parents were very poor, and I got a scholarship to private school and then to Oxbridge, and then had a professional career.

The traditional way of determining class was by your father's occupation.

But it is more complicated than that. Your background and childhood is very important in how your personality develops. Alongside social class are factors like ethnicity and religion. And then education changes your mindset in all sorts of ways, and certainly affects how you speak and what your preferences are in terms of how you live your life and choose to spend your leisure time, your aspirations etc.

If you start out as working class and then "get yourself an education" as my grandmother put it, then you might end up living most of your life in a very middle class milieu. What class are you then? It's very confusing, not least for the people living it.

if you have spent most of your life as a doctor or a lawyer or a professor, you might feel working class still, you might actually be "educated working class", but other working class people might feel that you have a very different life and outlook to them, and I guess they would also be right.

Edited

Yes it’s much more complicated than money. And I agree with pp that it takes a generation to change class. I thought I might be middle class until I met my friend who is proper middle class and realised I’m nowhere near! My dad was very proud of being working class I think my dc are considered mc.

I agree with your last sentence. I think it’s good it wasn’t in the main show. I wouldn’t have wanted each of them to have their own bit to camera saying “I’m here for X charity, they do this and this” because you don’t want it to be like a competition of which charity do people support.
But now it’s over they could. The reason I know Joe M’s was CALM is that they’ve put up a fundraising post saying something like “even though Joe wasn’t able to win the money to support our life saving work, you still can”. He’s been an ambassador for years so it makes sense he’d choose that, and probably not surprising for anyone who follows them as he’s on their Instagram semi-regularly.

Yes it made sense not to publicise them during the game but now that its complete it would be interesting to know which each has chosen, even if just via a link and a sentence beneath their pictures.

Tofufuton · 08/11/2025 16:06

Yes, I hate the sob stories in the regular series and wouldn't have wanted a slanging match over the most worthwhile charity for the celeb edition. But now that it's over, it'd be good if they could publicise who they were playing for on their social media. Maybe they are still under BBC constraints?

There's a fantastic pic on Ed's Instagram of Nick clocking him when dressed in the robes 😀

Nick organises and hosts an annual fundraiser for (I think, blood) cancer research. He had about five other comedians taking part this year, including James Acaster. Although some people find his Mr Swallow stand-up persona a bit irritating, it lets him get some really hard-hitting points across, among a whole ton of hilarious silly stuff. I think he really is a thoroughly good and extremely bright man.
