It’s going to be a long 4 days!

Because – as I said earlier today – it’s an immutable law of the traitors that when the faithful are given clangingingly obvious clues they miss them entirely and are never referred to again 😂

Agrée, it’s so annoying!!

if people underestimate her it’s because she makes them 🙄

We know they are clues and the show is edited to make it look obvious to us but not so obvious if you are actually there playing the game I imagine.

I think Rachel's brother is quite well known in NI?

wish Fiona wasn't the secret traitor... I find her irritating. Loved Ben, thought he seemed quite switched on shame he's gone

Just finished watching the main programme. Sad to see Ross go and felt sorry for him, as he was on the back foot from the start.

Fiona is really getting on my nerves. She looks so gleeful, and smug. Why didn’t anyone notice she wasn’t collecting skulls, whilst all the others were racing around? Surely that’s a Traitor quality as she would have know Reece was a faithful.

I quite like Rachel, as I think she’s playing the game well, ie staying silent when needed, but also putting forward plausible arguments.

Stephen is crumbling as a traitor. Too much pressure.

I think so! Definitely overly familiar with each other!

I want a campaign for Ross to come back to another series, poor bloke 😂

I hope Harriet can get onto Rachel. That was unfair when she turned on Ross, so she'd either be a traitor or not a very nice faithful.

I feel very sorry for Ross as that whole thing with Netty was just ridiculous. They fixate on the weirdest things.

For the first year ever I’m rooting for faithfuls over traitors. Fiona is quite good but the other three are not a patch on previous years in terms of ability. Stephen messed up killing Ben and Rachel’s stupid questioning of Ross was too obvious for a good traitor.

For sure! That’s why it’s in an immutable law

It's been mentioned several times that Hugo and Jade may be related. I don't see it.

She has a graduation photo on her SM flanked by an older couple, maybe parents. The male isn't Hugo.

I'm another who thinks all the guessing of relationships is getting tedious at this stage when it's obvious that some of it is just plucking something out of thin air just because "there has to be". Not saying that there aren't anymore connections, it's just when people are guessing for the sake of it without further clues.

Really not liking Fiona as a traitor as she has let the power go to her head, and now I am rooting for Rachel to throw her under the bus pronto.

I would be surprised if Reece has been murdered, as nothing has been made about him having to leave Rachel and Stephen alone at the tree picture. It would just be a wasted opportunity from a production POV, to not see Rachel and Stephen being grilled at the Round table as a result of Reece bringing it up.

Lesbian couples do have children.

I like Ellie and Jessie. I think others have said that Rachel is pretty quiet in the group, didn't like how she questioned Ross about the turret today. It was very awkward. I like Stephen, but the pressure seems to be getting to him.

I don’t think so. Judy/Roxy and Ellie/Ross were both mentioned just before/after a banishment of one half of them. If everyone was related then then why mention those pairings and not the other murdered/banished players pairings? I really hope there aren’t any more related players - I don’t see that it adds anything so it all feels completely pointless.

Not sure what that means tbh 😅

Hmm, totally bored of Fiona now. Secret traitor is so last week.

I’m a bit gutted Fiona is the ST as I find her really annoying. I don’t know what she was playing at with those skulls in the woods, and everything about her grates on me!
I am always rooting for the traitors but for the first time this series I want the faithful to win (unless we lose Fiona and Stephen and some better ones are recruited!) I don’t mind Rachel but thought she messed up massively at the painting and she’s been very lucky that Reece didn’t pick up on it !

Plus Stephen is connected to someone I think. He did a very strange handshake with someone while smirking at them. Just looked suspicious

OMG. I’ve just finished watching Uncloaked, I’ve come on here and there’s 475 posts to catch up on 😲. Back in a bit!

Stephen looked so guilty at the round table in tonight's episode, I'm surprised no-one has challenged him on that.

I think Jessie is going to get him next episode!

I think you're right and Amanda is onto him too.

My sons are convinced of this too.

There was a conversation between Amanda and Reece where they agreed that they kept whatever they were discussing just between them.This seemed like two people who already knew each other well, rather like when Ross and Ellie were whispering the other night.

I also think Hugo and Jade are father and daughter

I'll summarise it, gosh Fiona hmm, OMG Rachel, what are you doing Reece? Mixed opinions on Ross 😂
