Adam

It’s going to be a long 4 days!

I think they assumed everyone has read the paper s

Amanda

So they could all be related?

Finally all caught up! Great episode.

I also noticed his hands and bendy fingers

I hope there aren't any more connections.

Also have disliked Rachel from her first to camera piece - maybe it's the accent

I think the question Rachel asked, coupled with Ross being a faithful, should make anyone look at her twice! It was a stupid question and clumsily done, not to mention being a very arrogant way to behave. Then she claimed it was her joking to catch him out but it was done in a really humourless and cold way.
I know Ross is being made fun of for not realising what she was talking about but why would he? He's never been near the turret and the turret is somewhat irrelevant to the Faithful. He was probably trying to remember when he'd been somewhere in the building alone with Hugo.

Controversial Opinion

I’m not sure I like this series as much as usual 😬 I loved the others, and celebrity, but I just can’t quite take to the players in this one.

Do you dislike everyone from Northern Ireland? Bit of an odd take.

I wonder if it's come off the back of the celebrity one too quickly

And all the friendly fun seeet players are going to- Nettie, Ross, Ben, Judy. I liked Hugo! He was more pantomime than Rachel’s hard as nails persona. Fiona is fun but I think Rachel will take her out. Hoping for more screen time for Jack, Faraaz, Maz and Jade. They just keep showing Jade reacting to things with her mouth agape, I’m sure she’d have said something amusing or interesting, it seems really unfair editing.

I won’t be interested in an end game with players that are too serious like Rachel, Harriet, Sam, Roxy, Ellie. It’s weird that Ellie is targeting people to avenge Ross - you still have a game to play!

What British accent would that be?

One of my best mates is from NI so definitely not.
There's just a harshness from Rachel that rubs me up the wrong way

I was just saying the same to DH.

Just not feeling very invested really.

Maybe it is too close after Celeb traitors?
I found myself drifting off during task explanation and then checking the football scores.

Just not grabbing me.
I think they are tying too many gimmicks and as most of the contestants are ex police/barristers/crime writers/psychologists maybe they aren't having as much fun? Too much like work 😂

Poor Ross, he was great in uncloaked

I had low expectations after the joys of the Celebrity one so I'm quite happy! I'm glad they did the ST thing, it's a shame it ended sooner than they probably planned.

oo I much prefer this one to the last two civilian series

i’m rooting for Rachel 😂 - at least for her to get Fiona banished at the roundtable after turning everyone against her

people don’t just automatically underestimate older women anymore, she’s just weird!

Agrée, I didn’t like Hugo but liked the fact that he had personality!

Apologies if its been mentioned but I wondered if jade (? Chubky cardigan and multicoloured eye shadow) was related to Hugo and thats why he defended her. Her wording around why made it seem like she was going to say "he would because hes my ..."
I was sad to see ross go

Dippy.

I’m older than everyone else, I can’t run back and forth with skulls…

Why did you mention her accent then?

Why hasn't the obvious blunder from Rachel & Stephen by the family tree with Reece come up? No mention from the traitors or on uncloaked. You'd think once Reece knew about the fingerprints he would remember even if he didn't notice at the time.

Jessie is my queen - it will be classic if they don’t listen to her because she’s a young woman

Probably the way the show was edited made it look more than it was.
