Wednesday, darling, Wednesday!

Hugo overplayed his hand he should have kept schtum!

I’m pretty clueless but I think my shortlist for secret traitor is :
Amanda
Fiona
and then after that, less likely,

Harriet, Roxy, Jade, Ellie.
I am generally ruling out the interchangeable males.

I'm fairly certain it's Ross. He got a lot of airtime for no reason. Also, there is no PoC amongst the traitors.

Those getting a lot of airtime now get killed or evicted.

Hmmm not sure I trust Rachel. I think she could turn on Stephen despite their 'pact'.

I thought the same but someone on X just pointed out that they had obviously assumed that it would take longer to find the first traitor because historically they waste loads of faithfuls in the early roundtables.

I wouldn't trust either of them if I was the other.

Amanda could be in trouble after Hugo’s words about her playing a blinder.

Hugo is just so awkward to watch, I'm glad he's gone!

Definitely. I was surprised when she was picked, but good choice!

Like a shot!

That's what Charlotte said.

I think it’s Ross!! I didn’t until the round table when he rounded on someone really well

in that case, I’d feel slightly bad about my comments re the old guy.

Yes they're now talking about it.

Fiona is EPIC.

At the breakfast table she threw out Ross’ name without actually doing it- pretended she’d forgotten the name and threw across to Jessie to finish the sentence.

At the round table she sweetly thanked Amanda for putting her onto Hugo by giving her advice- again sidestepping ownership like a twinkly bumbling grandma.

I thought GCHQ but now I’m leaning to KGB

I haven’t started watching the follow up yet but I’m hoping they tell Hugo that Harriet is a barrister.

one thing I’ve noted about barristers is that they might be excellent at cross examination, but they’re pretty bad at being cross examined (they rarely if ever have to do this and it strips away their control). I watched some of the Garden Court Chambers/Allison Bailey employment tribunal and this was so evident there.

I think the secret traitor is Sam, his body language spoke volumes when Hugo was revealed, like he knew already and was trying to act surprised. Absolute pain that we have to wait until next Thursday.

There were 2 envelopes on the table, but they only read one. If they don’t show the other being read, then I think that points to a secret relationship between Hugo and someone else in there (if it hasn’t been revealed on the main show, doubt they’d spoil it on uncloaked). Someone upthread suggested Jade as his daughter… they have similar eyes…

the family tree thing kinda makes me think they’re maybe ALL connected to someone…

I think Sam is just an overly confident white male.

Snort. Hugo saying he'd been unable to lie to Fiona because 'it was like lying to my mum'. Hugo, Fiona is only 11 years older than you. She's nowhere near old enough to be your mum.

I still think Hugo and Sam could be related.

Rachel is playing like Harry in terms of being about to detach emotion from the game but I'm not sure her social game is good enough to win.

I don't necessarily believe this but wouldn't it be hilarious if Rachel and Stephen were related but not mentioning it on camera!

He also said “or my big sister” - so if we are looking for connections, I guess that’s not impossible

He was trying to deceive. I got a lot of red flags from him.

Also, if there's 'no murder tonight' the faithfuls will assume it's because there's been a recruitment. So no different to the usual format and they are none the wiser there was a ST - so the point of that was...?.

Also (another also!) if Ellie's mention of the ST was a just a coincidence, it was a pretty lucky turn of phrase. I know there's a heavy edit on the programme, but the introduction of the ST has turned it into a more curated offering rather than the more organic process it can appear to be.

Wednesday!
