I would not want to find out the ST at this stage if I were a Traitor

Not sure why Rachel and Stephen didnt think telling Reece to go away was not suspicious st all .....

Roxie is also a tall woman, so if that footage is of the actual ST, it still could be her.

But interesting that Ellie said that.

To be fair, Reece offers to leave the room.

I thought someone did, but I wasn’t sure I’d heard that.

We don't know who it is yet! Who says it's Ellie?
Presumably they were always going to incorporate the red traitor when the first traitor was found but didn't expect it to be so early.

That's what I missed. Thanks - and to others who answered.

Ooh the wine glass washing in the kitchen by Rachel after to wash her red finger....someone will have noticed that .

Why did he?

I was expecting them to show us the st 😂

i wil wait until Wednesday then 😪

To be fair with the secret task, we don’t know the timeframe it took place over. They could have been given the task at say 5pm and completed it at 10.30pm. They might have looked at the family tree with Reese earlier in the evening so he won’t necessarily put the two together.

Is there no toilet with a sink? I'd have gone in there.

It’s a long wait til Wednesday to find out who the ST is…

Someone posted and said it’s Ellie based on what?? I didn’t hear her mention a ST unless I missed totally it…can someone explain/confirm??

"They'll question if you're just sitting and watching as a secret traitor" Ellie said.

Ah is that a misdirect?

Here is what Ellie said.

I don't think Ellie is the ST. I think she would be saying more. But the scene by the fire cements to me that she and Ross are a couple.

I missed Ellie talking about the ST. What did she say?

So, on Traitors Uncloaked, the recently murdered and recently banished characters meet. But the traitor doesn't tell the banished (in this case Hugo and Ben) that there's an ST. I'd love to see Ben's reaction. He just said he thinks there are 5 traitors.

I'm thinking that, and the way they said goodnight.

Ah right yes she did say that when talking to Ross! Wow.

also during that chat Ross was talking about voting for Stephen and she said don’t do it too soon or words to that effect …don’t go for it/or vote for him too soon …was she trying to confirm to Ross that Stephen is a Traitor…

🤔

The thing is that if they had told them at the reveal that there was a secret traitor then they’d have to keep that secret.

I think the round table shows that once a barrister, always a barrister!

Hi aaahhhh we were on the cusp of finding out who the ST is. Now we have to wait until next Thursday!!!! God it’s going to be a long wait. I now think it’s either Amanda or Fiona.

The later it was the more in the frame they will be. Reece will remember the marks weren't there when he was at the picture so they must have been added after that.

Ben clearly went too soon.

My current suspicions:

• I don't think it's Fiona. I think they gave her too much of a "villain edit" in this episode and it wouldn't be effective if it were her.

• For the same reason, I am doubting Ellie (she was one of my number 1 suspects until now). I don't think from an editing perspective they'd have left in her talking about "secret traitor" right before they reveal the secret traitor - unless it's a red herring and was supposed to be a hint at everything changing that night.

• Harriet was also very high up on my suspect list, and shot to the top when she lead the charge on Hugo, but she seemed so surprised that Hugo revealed himself to be a traitor. She could be an excellent actress, but her reaction seemed genuine. I was very sold on her, but now less so.

• Amanda has had so many people suspicious; she'd be a great person to be on the murder shortlist because her murder would send people pointing fingers in all directions. The fact that she hasn't appeared on the list makes me think it might be her - equally, it could be a red herring and not having her on the list makes her a good ST suspect which the actual ST is banking on.

• I haven't seen enough of Roxy to be convinced it's her.

• Jessie is a brilliant faithful and reminds me of Maddy in Wilf's series, BUT she was the other person in the room when Ben said about Ross. If she's the secret traitor she's played an absolute blinder and I'm gutted it's over so quickly.

• If it's any of the Miscellaneous Males™ I'll be really disappointed.

There was a second letter which they’ve not read yet.
