It’s going to be a long 4 days!

I think the secret traitor is a woman (Ellie or Fiona??) However DD1 has been convinced by people on Tiktok that it could be either Faraaz or Reece trying to play the baby-faced innocent lad in the same way that Harry Clarke did successfully.

They’ll quickly guess the traitors have recruited as Hugo’s gone though, so yes they’ll be suspicious but I don’t think the lack of murder will be a particular surprise.

Ooh this gets juicy.

I was thinking someone has to discover the red splodges on the family tree, no?

If they then come and say (publicly or one on one to anyone) that they saw it, there'll be a whole thing about who found it first, pointing fingers and all that to anyone who has mentioned it - could it have been them doing it and they're covering it.

Unless no one sees it...and like you say Reece is gone. Feels kinda mean to Reece 🤣

I thought one of the people with the red fingerprint on was going to be murdered? Like the one with Paloma where everyone's at breakfast but someone gets murdered/has a funeral next day?

I think that's likely.

I wonder whether we might not see the ST straight away, if there is no murder.

They all go to breakfast. Then have a round table and we still won't know .

Then they are all together in the turret that night at the end of Weds episode for a murder and we see them then (or not, if they have been banished!).

I will be VERY cross if we don't find out tomorrow but I wouldn't put it past them!

It can't be Reece because he was on the murder short list. The ST cannot put themselves or other traitors on the murder list.

I think there will definitely be a ST reveal to the audience. There's even a countdown timer for it on the Traitors Insta page.

Do you watch Uncloaked?

100% agree. She keeps going on about gaming and strategy in social deception games (I assume Among Us) and every time she says it I'm
like yeah but how about dealing with real people in synchronous time and face to face, not from behind a screen.

Fiona - she is flying under the radar perfectly

As someone said up thread Surely they need someone of colour or else there have been 4 white traitors

Good summary!

I do. What did I miss?

He spoke about how he knows her on there. It’s not that interesting and seems legit to me. But I’m a poor judge of character!

Yea exactly - I was rolling about laughing then

I just assumed it was a very short-lived plan. One he put into place when he saw her outside the castle and lasted until she greeted him and ruin it!

Farraz and maz a, father and son ?

Imagine if that’s true AND Faraaz is the ST - he’s put his own dad on the murder list both times!

Ooh mmm yes, they get told one of these 9/10 (?) will be murdered today.

Thinking about the ST and their murder shortlist, who would have wanted Reece murdered to put them on there?

I guess they were limited on choices as you'd have 3 traitors, Netty, shields, the 2 they'd already picked.

It must have been hard as the ST 😂

But why I mean is that he was saying that had had planned on not saying anything, but she seemed completely surprised. The production team didn’t know either as I understand it. So how did he know but she didn’t?

I don’t think he did know. I think “plan” was the wrong choice of words - I think he probably meant that when he saw Netty his immediate thought (instant plan) was not to acknowledge her. He may or may not be getting confused with another plan, if rumours are correct,

That’s a smart move. Having seen the heat Ross got for knowing Netty and that last year a sister told others she thought her sister was a traitor (have forgotten their names) and the traitor was then banished Faraaz should try to get his dad murdered to give himself the best chance of succeeding as a traitor.

Forget Fiona’s too obvious winks and comments in the diary room - perhaps Hugo’s comment was a clue to the identity of the ST: Who is it who is so desperate to murder Maz?
