I thought the same.

Also what about the last group coming into breakfast. Don’t they realise they are on the hit list?

I assume that they provably film different groups coming in in different orders and then in editing splice it together correctly. That way no one on the show, other than traitors, would know!

Am certain the ST is Fiona

But I’ve heard people say before that they watch the reactions of other contestants faces when people are coming in to see if they look surprised or not? So not sure how filming different orders would work?

They've done lots of mixing and matching in the past including having traitors come in with the last group (after this was pointed out as an issue in S1!), so I think people now know that it isn't safe to assume the last ones in were at risk.

God, they really wasted that roundtable 😂

Ooh I'm very pleased there's a voting history.

My thoughts are - my Jack theory for him as ST is still standing, but also looking forward to being wrong 🤣

Amanda acted a bit suss, shame as I like her. Think she was expecting a fight with Jade and was surprised when she backed down at roundtable.

I don't think having all men up for murder means the ST is female. One female got banished, one female got murdered, makes sense to go male next.

Maz and Reece are both good candidates for recruitment IMHO.

Who the hell is Ben? 🤣

Other thoughts- Sam's playing chaotic so likely go at some point, unless we are watching an ST.

Wasn't impressed with the guys going on the thrones at the start and think that will come back to bite them.

Who is it up for murder again?

That one has been addressed many times. The breakfast scene is not done in order they come in, and they film various combinations of it.

There's an article called Bwhond the scenes secrets of The Traitors or something like that, which has a lot of answered FAQs.

Yy about Amanda 😅 She thinks she’s being so discreet about her career but everything about her screams blue light/first responder/forces. Hope she has a cover story about being a 999 switchboard or paramedic or something, if she claims to work in a school office it’s not gonna fly…

I like Rachel - I liked when she commented on three men taking the chairs in the task and how she would remember that.

I think the ST is Fiona.

I think Ellie and Ross are a couple.

I think there are more relationships in there.

And I like Hugo - love the little quote he gave about when your enemies are making mistakes then just leave them to it.

I hope some of the interchangeable men get murdered/banished in the next couple of episodes!

They’ve chosen people with a more authoritarian MO who are deeply unsettled by any perceived lack of control. Rachel is I’m sure lovely irl but is coming across as really power motivated in the game. Hugo immediately named the SL as an interfering middle manager which speaks volumes as a first reaction. Stephen doesn’t seem as irked by the lack of total power as the other two.

Ha! Sam and Hugo are my faves..!

Jennie??

Oh no I reacted very differently to the middle class white guy quoting the art of war 😅😅 my eyes rolled right back to my brain! It reminded me of Dominic Raab…

I got the feeling that they were less annoyed tonight and that they are going to start going with it a little more over the next couple of turrets now that the initial shock has worn off.

But Stephen was highly motivated to sniff the secret traitor out.

Yes, I'm struggling to tell some of them apart. Mild prosopagnosia doesn't help.

I’m not sure if someone has already said this, but surely all four traitors won’t be white?

I think Faraaz or Roxy for ST based on Claudia’s position when she tapped someone on the shoulder (looking at the background).

Interesting. Jessie is my favourite to win, ST or not 🤣

Jessie's a possibility for the ST, she's playing the gormless game too hard though, needs to dial it back a bit.

I am sticking to my vote for Jade as ST, particularly after her reaction in the car to Amanda’s challenge.

I am positive that Amanda and Hugo know each other.

Amanda, Hugo and Harriet have all worked in CJS. Maz & Fiona also have the standard GCHQ civil servant cover story and Stephen is a cyber security consultant aka hacker to rent…
