He's clever but a bit gauche, isnt he.

Sam was thrown when Judy confronted him in the kitchen. Not a good actor at all, so I don't think he's the ST.

I like the ST, I think it's made the show play out less predictably.

I've got suspicions about Ellie as ST. Four days to find out.

It's the little rehearsed jokes - ugh.

I think the family tree thing is like not literal, it's like the traitors are sort of connected but not.

Two people from Wales, someone with a sibling with the same name etc. There's some random piece on one of the papers that Ellie and Ross were on holiday in the same country at the same time before the show started.

Is it possible the secret trsitor is an outside person from another series whose been watching it all ?

I hope it’s Linda

But if ellie and ross are a couple would they be hugging so much. Wouldnt they stay clear of each other.

😂

That would be ace - then add in Amanda 😁

Older women have done well as traitors in previous series, tending to be overlooked by the interchangeable men dominating the conversation in the early stages. That was why I thought Fiona less likely if contestants look back to previous series she could be made quickly.

If I were Harriet I’d claim to be a Barista and then if it came out later I could say people misheard and also I do make a lot of coffee as a hobby so I didn’t find the follow up questions strange.

Yes I think this is true, there's connections but they aren't all literally familial ones. I think there are at least 4 direct family relationships/couple(s) though.

• Judy and Roxie: mother and daughter - FACT

• Sam and Rachel: (half) brother and sister/cousins

• Amanda and Jade: mother and daughter/aunt and niece, playing a deliberate game of bluff by accusing the other

• Ross & Ellie: a couple or flatmates

• Possibly Maz & Faaraz: father and son or uncle and nephew

I do reckon there's an aunt/uncle & niece/nephew pair in there. It's a combo we haven't had yet.

100% Roxy for ST .. def the fact Judy (her mum) referred to her doing / saying something weird.

Also the editing in this series seems a bit off / obvious (eg. On Fiona and Amanda). I don’t remember it being so jarring in other series. It could be worse, or maybe we’re getting more used to the game so we can see these things.

What?

Ellie mentioning a secret traitor is really

Yes because is it right that faithfuls dont know about secret traitors

I completely missed that! What did she say ?

Think it’s Fiona. I know she’s one of the ones that the editing is focused on which may be a red herring but it would be too coincidental that she’s suspected Hugo and Stephen.

Do you yhink hes maybe her partners son or her son or something

I wonder if it was a Frankenbite, I will have to rewatch to check 👀

She said something about someone sitting there being a secret traitor - but I don't think she literally meant a secret traitor, I think it was fortunate/ unfortunate phrasing and what she meant is some people are presenting as faithful but are secretly traitors.

No.

What Ellie said again.

It's not usually himself he's defending.

But thats a bit of an obvious mistake surely some editor would have noticed ??
