It’s going to be a long 4 days!

Yes that's what I mean, post production will know when they had to unveil the ST so they have the ability to show us the potential ST's in the earlier shows which we had read as too obvious as I don't think anyone expected them to reveal the ST this early

But an ego centric middle aged white male barrister traitor - was Always going to get found out / banished early.

Perhaps it was always the plan.

Here’s the 9 chosen by Rachel. It obviously wasn’t done too indiscriminately as she managed not to add ink to the murdered and banished players.

I also rewatched the celebrations just after Hugo was revealed as a traitor. Fiona rushes round to give a prolonged hug to Ross so it seems they are firm friends. It’s also odd to me that in the whole celebration in the round table and the walk round to the bar where the RT debrief continues there is not a single shot of Jade smiling. She looks shocked but not happy that Hugo has been outed. She seems such a serious person. Or is she thinking ‘this is what it will be like when I am banished as the ST’?

Or is Jade just young and at the point in life where you take yourself very seriously.

She was probably still sulking from being accused of being a traitor.

Going by this, she picked Stephen before anyone else, his name has the biggest blob of red!

Jade may be playing the aggressive, how-dare-you accuse me line, which was employed VERY successfully before. I think most people wouldn't have the nerve to try it on like that - I certainly would feel a complete prick overreacting to a game in such a way - but it's been proven to work.

The detective chief inspector (retired) who's accusing her has clearly used that needling tactic on numerous occasions before, so there's clearly a reason why she's doing it.

Do you guys keep up with what’s in the newspapers about contestants?

No

To put it mildly, I'm not a fan of tabloid gossip columns.

My user name was made ages ago

I am watching!

Sooner or later, they all succumb!

I was thinking of radio times!

and news articles

I’m trying

not hooked yet!

it’s ok 🤷‍♀️

That would be such a fun job!

Sort of via X (twitter). If you're alluding to what I think you're alluding to, that is all over Traitors Twitter (sounds better than Traitors X), it is that that has brought me specifically to this thread today

I don’t read the papers but I have seen something on Reddit.

What?? Spoilers please!

Well I didn’t want to do highlight news item because I asked and someone replied “no” you don’t read outside info

if you want to have a look on the news - apparently discovered by traitors fans 🕵️

I’ll only discuss if someone who knows the boundaries of this thread bring it up

Probably there’s one main news story today - I’m not on twitter

Jade did hug Maz.

Rachel said she randomly picked the selection on the tree, not a chance, she knew who she was going for! I'd be annoyed if I was Stephen but he's too nice.

Please don’t post spoilers, it’s easy to go off and investigate if you want

I thought they did that to cover themselves

they are choosing who gets murdered aren’t they so it doesn’t matter - looks better they are included

They did have to do it fast
