It’s going to be a long 4 days!

My husband has agreed to do bedtime so I can be free at 8. I have promised to make it worth his while.

The Seer thing was uncomfortable to watch. It just descended into one of them hurling ugly accusations at the other about being untrustworthy. I remember Francesca just looking really shocked and hurt.

I guess the ST IS like being the Seer but without anyone else knowing it – you know who are faithfuls and who traitors, but they don't know who you are.
It's interesting that it's being revealed so early. I do think there'll be another twist/hitch; they must have built in something for this eventuality, otherwise the ST thing will just have been a big anticlimax.

These lot do seem to be using strategy and sense a bit more than in some previous seasons. I think the best thing to do would be to think more about who was in the room when the conversation about how Ben would be murdered happened. Clearly at least one traitor was (Stephen), so they could follow that line. And of course the ST might have been there.

I’m having the day from hell and could quite easily still be chained to the laptop at 8 but they can all go hang; I’m gonna be on that sofa playing Adjactthew Bingo.

I think the ST thing was always meant to be short lived. Gave us something interesting to talk about in the first week, before you know a smaller number of players well and are more invested. The seer came way too late and felt too unfair and unenjoyable to watch.

The Seer was too late, I agree, but it was also flawed because it was all down to what people said and if you believed them (I know the whole game kind of is, but at least there are ways to try to work it out more sensibly, like who was in on what conversations).
I just think this has gone a bit too much the other way and is too short-lived, if they are going to end the ST thing here and now.

How could I forget Jack? Er, quite easily, it appears

Totally agree, and im also sorry to say that all the constant theorising on here about who it could be is getting boring!🙈and I usually love reading these threads.
I am just glad all will be revealed tonight.(and if I had to guess I would say ellie or Jessie as a total out there reveal)😀

It quite made my day when I remembered this was on tonight as I was driving home from work!

I didn't like the seer twist last year. It was unfair, and happened way too late. But, I've actually been enjoying the secret traitor twist. It's been a talking point, got us all thinking, and it's good it happened at the beginning. The Traitors is a very unfair game for the faithful, so, it's levelled things a bit. Probably good the ST's being revealed quite early on though.

I'm glad she didn't. She was irritating.

If the person fimed walking in the red cloak is tge actual traitor they are pretty tall and broad shouldered, but i think it might just be a random production person.

Last time we saw them, I thought it looked like two completely different people - a big, tall one walking along outside, then a much shorter one filmed entering the building. Everything about the way they moved was different, so I wouldn’t base any guesses on anything we’ve seen!

She was playing well though and that’s what we enjoy seeing, someone playing something and getting away with it - the Seer thing snatched it away without any cleverness on the faithfuls part.

45min to go my kids are still awake! Praying for everyone to have asleep children by 8pm 😅

When they reveal the secret traitor I hope we get some flashbacks to clues!

Also, I love the new 8pm start time. Much more manageable on a school night.

Same I’m hoping for diary room scenes of their reaction to becoming ST and their reasoning for the shortlists

It's. On. In. 15. Minutes.

Gosh the speculation is off the scale on this thread. Have you no homes to go to?

If we have another series then I would like to see a round table where they don't discuss banishment - so when they sit down thinking that's what they are going to do Claudia announces that the twist is they can't discuss or confer but must lock their answer of whom to banish straightaway

I going to be on a delay as I’ve only just got in from DD’s activity and have to cook dinner. Hopefully I’ll only be 15 mins behind. I’ll keep an eye on the thread length here and make sure I start a new one if it looks like filling up.

DD still awake 😡

Warm milk with a couple of shots of brandy. Hurry!

It’s time…..!

We finally get to see the Irish one after this one has finished!

One last thought, wouldn’t it be funny I’d the ST was Reece and he greeted them with “You too nearly fucked io that last task didn’t you!”

Disclaimer, I know he’s not the ST!

See you all when I’ve caught up!
