Also havent caught up on the thread but Agreed. Im surprised they didnt keep it at least another episode or 2.

I was going to say they will definitely know they recruited because they know who got the shield. Does that mean the shield means nothing because theres no murder?

Do the faithful know theres a secret traitor?

If no, then Ellie is added to my suspicion as she said something about "almost like theres a secret traitor" in the diary room

Fiona is still high on my list

Did anyone else notice when they came in for breakfast one of them said "imagine if there was a detective here" when the retired detective lady was sat there

No way thats a coincidence

Usually find the missions dull but tonight's was brilliant

Disappointed theyre revealing the secret one so soon, as enjoying trying to work out who it is

What do you mean ?

Perhaps they will introduce another ST?

I do wonder if the family tree is just there for confusion and not really relevant until it’s used on a task?

Don’t forget that the conversations are heavily edited. For all we know that conversation re a detective might also have thrown in comments about other professions in a wider sense but the producers just clipped up the detective part for our benefit.

Why is Amanda putting out so much because she's making herself a massive target. For someone so clearly clever, that's not very clever.

I think Ellie is the ST. Very much under the radar. Has she actually said anything at the round tables?

So for the family tree shortlist, they’ve basically put half the remaining players on Death Row? I wonder if this links to the next mission - perhaps people have to guess what secret applies to which player.

Not that I’ve seen. I keep forgetting both Ellie and Maz are there (although we know Maz is a faithful)

Sorry if it’s been mentioned already, but I thought it was a bit strange how Amanda took Faraaz by the hand and asked him if he played pool. And there was another time at dinner when they were sitting eating off together too. They seem to have formed a close bond already.

But she was animated when her mum went and shes still animated. Maybe thsts just her.

So cool love it this year!

I vote Sam as the secret Traitor
My family think it's Ellie

I thought someone was mucking about with the detective conversation. Matthew said it, so maybe he’s connected to Amanda in some way?

I find Sam massively irritating (he reminds me of an Apprentice candidate), so maybe I’m biased, but in two of his yellow chair pieces he said things that made me think he might be the ST. Both times I thought he followed it with a knowing smirk, but that might just be his face…

I say Jessie for ST- she never gets mentioned and is under the radar. Roxy’s play is just too odd.

The task tonight was the best ever, genuinely hilarious. Tara’s being winsome.

Thank God plans I had for Wednesday were cancelled

Tara’s being winsome.

Who is Tara? Someone else I’ve missed?

Hmmmm... If Ross and Ellie are a couple, then Ross would been very thrown by Nettie who was fairly obviously some sort of ex appearing - if they ware a couple and Ross is the ST then he may have mentioned something to Ellie, giving her the idea of a sectret traitor, and would have been super keen to get rid of Nettie...

To throw people off the scent

I’m changing my mind… I think it’s JADE.

amanda has had loads of coverage and has said she won’t change her mind on Jade. Jade has been super quiet and looked terrified after Claudia had appointed her traitors. She is also mixed background, female, and younger than the others.

I thought he fancied himself too much and it was his undoing

I think Fiona is being edited to create the impression she might be the ST. I just feel the editors have been trying too hard to pick certain lines of her. It comes across as painful.

I'm not going by who said what. It's heavily edited and we will never get the real gist. I just try to observe the way it's been cut. I definitely think the ST is a minority.

I'm actually glad the ST thing will end. It's absolutely pointless guessing based on a heavily edited episode. I didn't enjoy it.

I'm watching Uncloaked - Hugo is still being an arse.

I was thinking the same about Sam, but then also came to the conclusion it was just his face.

Unless he found out in their traitor WhatsApp group before it started airing or any press came out.

Harriet has a real life brother called Hugo.
