It’s going to be a long 4 days!

I like the ST twist. It made me feel a bit like I was also playing the game.

How did they do that? Even Ed says he doesn’t know who it is!

...how?

Wouldn't it have been fun for all of us if they had banished the secret traitor by accident in RT 1 or 2

😁

I was really hoping they would!

Yes, I see that.

That is a fair point

Except that the producers manipulate the viewers.

It would be great if it was her!

It's a useful thing to throw in. "Oh it's because of their micro expressions that I would notice and you wouldn't because you haven't done FBI training, that I think they're a traitor"

It gives her credibility to throw accusations around.

That’s what I assumed. They maybe hadn’t decided where the cut at the end of the episode would be when they filmed the traitor reveal

I know that but it was still fun trying to guess.

I think Uncloaked is pre-recorded earlier on the day we see it. EG hasn't got that 'live' edge he usually has when it's properly live. That gives them time to edit out anything that's accidentally revealed, but leave in any swearing to make it feel live.

They would know that the programme is edited to leave us with a cliffhanger.

.

I think the plan was always to reveal them as soon as a traitor had been found. It just happens that they found Hugo very quickly

Confused, how did Roxy nominate Judy? Roxy has voted for James at both round tables? Roxy stuck up for Judy. Judy didn’t appear on ST shortlist either which makes me sure that Roxy is the ST, with Ross as my second choice.

I think the secret traitor is either Fiona because in the Interview she said something about people underestimating her and playing being unknowing or Sam because when he was interviewed he gave a smirk/smile when talking about playing the game.
But I keep changing my mind and have questions about the police detective and Jade who seems to protest too much

Jade is just a stereotype annoying, entitled and self absorbed young person. Hugely offended at being accused of being a traitor, like "why would you pick on meeeee, my mummy says I'm amazing" type of brat.

I hope she isn't the Secret Traitor

It’s not as impressive as it sounds. You can buy the course online.

I’m sticking with Ellie because I think it’s weird that out of the blue she started talking about a “secret traitor” when she could have definitely just said “traitor.” I don’t think I’ve previously ever heard anyone use the phrase in any series so far, so it’s very suss that her brain just came out with it.

My mummy says I’m a miracle! 😂

Ellie

She spends a lot of time gaming. I don't think she has the social skills to deal with people challenging her face to face.

I think the secret traitor is Harriet, because of the way she went after Hugo and caught him at the RT the faithful will put her on a pedestal, no one will ever suspect it's her. If it is her, she played an absolute blinder gunning for Hugo like that!
