Celeb Traitors #7: Alan’s End Game.

[CarefulN0w]

Keep on chatting here.

Gareth Southgate is a big fan of the show, they should get him to do series 2.

😂
Definitely not the most clueless. That honour goes to Meryl and Molly.

And both made the final. One of them co-won, the other would have done if she'd applied logic.

It's a flaw in the game (there are several) that cluelessness makes you last longer. I'd be wary of any savvy person in the final because Traitors generally don't let savvy people get that far. I remember Fay in S1; she was mostly quite reserved and not much known but then she revealed to Amanda that she'd secretly been keeping track of how people had been voting. Got offed that night!

True enough.

I think this is the heart of it. He was frustrated rather than angry and he definitely wanted to win. I actually think some of his raw hunger may have contributed to Nick and David’s suspicions at the end.

If I get pushed too hard, my instinct is to back off. I can imagine in a game like traitors where you are alert to any suspicious behaviour it could make you very wary.

be thought that he said sorry cat as he thought Joe was saying sorry to a fellow traitor for voting them out.
In reality Joe was just being nice to cat but it make nick suspicious. He was already bit suspicious of Joe before that too.

Colleen Rooney for the next season. She’s good at seeking out treachery.

Yes, I thought that.

I actually thought that Nick started to get suspicious when Joe said that he wanted to win with just Nick and himself at the end. Joe was being totally genuine, of course, but Nick obviously wondered if he was getting played.

I do kind of get it. I think I would be a bit suspicious of someone who put that much trust in me being a faithful when they wouldn't really have any way of knowing who the traitors are. I think I might start wondering why they were so sure of themselves.

Nick and Celia were my favourites throughout the show, so I was rooting for Nick at the end. He seems such a genuinely lovely man. But Alan was a very worthy winner and chose a great charity, so I was happy with the outcome and loved the gracious response at the end from Nick and David.

I agree.

And I think Nick is too logical (with less of a sense of trusting his gut maybe) so Joe saying “you’re 100% a faithful and the traitors are definitely Alan and Cat” probably set Nick off on an overthinking path of “but you don’t know I’m a faithful, how can you be so sure, there’s only one way you could be”

Exactly!

They were all (including Kate) laughing at her tendency to repeat things others had said. I wonder if she’s just so used to having to do that in her normal job, where she must get lines fed through an earpiece / autocue or something that it’s just become second nature.

She really wasn’t good at the game, but I do like how much fun she seemed to have and her ability to laugh at herself.

Good list apart from Davina McCall. She would just make it all about her like she does everything she is in and the shrieking and showing off would drive me insane

Generally don't enjoy Tiktok but do love Cat and Alan's Tiktoks. They really complement each other in personality.

I'm in my 70's and I knew who Cat was

I didn’t know know David, Ruth, Nico, Cat or Joe M.
I love comedy and taskmaster is fab.

Just checked Nick’s Insta. Hannah Waddingham’s comment is epic 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The order they stood in at the round table was definitely prepped for maximum drama ie Nick showing his votes last when we expected him to vote for Alan not Joe. So producers must have known before the end game started who they were going to vote for first and may have known what they would do for the pouch after that.

Claudia always asked Alan first re pouches and votes except for when asking them to reveal if they were faithful or traitor when she started with David. That should have got David and Nick worried even before Alan revealed himself.

Radio 2 shared a video of a camera on the banished/murdered players as they watched the end game reveal - reacting to voting Joe out and the 3 voting to end the game. Just brilliant, Claire screaming “No!”

There are cameras all around the room. The producers can see what has been written on slates and which bags have been picked in end game. They feed the info to Claudia via an ear piece so she knows what order to ask them in.

Claudia has talked about the producers telling her to stop breathing so loudly during round tables!

I really enjoyed it. I was rooting for the faithful, but Alan was a worthy winner. I also approved of the charity he'd picked. A boy I was in school with lost his life to neuroblastoma. It was 23 years ago.

I enjoyed it for not being full of reality stars, there were a few genuine stars among them which was refreshing. This season of Strictly, I'd only heard of two of the celebs. I feel Strictly has had its day, and should end with this series.

Strictly won’t end, apart from Celeb Traitors it’s still the most watched TV show in the UK!

I don’t watch strictly but I don’t understand people who think it’s had its day. It’s one of the most watched tv shows in the country

The Traitors doesn’t take up much of the celebs’ time, maybe a couple of weeks at most, whereas in Strictly they can be in for months.

It’s still getting good audiences but isn’t going to attract many stars. I enjoy it and often end up really liking people I’ve never heard of. And the pro dancers are very popular.

Maybe you're all right, and Strictly hasn't had its day. I've personally grown tired of it, and don't tune in anymore. Maybe I'm in the minority though.

Yes I imagine that makes a difference to the celebs they can get. They spend hours and hours a week training don’t they?

Plus there’s a perception thing - you don’t want to go on it if everyone thinks that only people with not great careers are on it. Whereas because traitors had a decent number of really famous people this year, that won’t be the perception people have of it.
