I did feel for Jade as she was sat right next to Rachel when she revealed that Amanda was this amazing detective..

Fair play on Jade for not saying anything and seeing how it will play out.

I think Rachel may have brought too much attention on to herself.

Rachel I think def has.

I like that they've brought in lots of people with big egos and titles - barristers, detectives, government workers etc - and the people who've come across as the most grounded are also the ones who've been bang on the money or close to it - Jessie the hair stylist, Reece the sweet shop worker and so on.

I think the casting team have done really well to play on people's preconceptions of how someone will get on based on their profession, and they've cast some fantastic egos in there too. It makes it so entertaining.

Yes this 👏

CaveMum · 08/01/2026 21:50

Finally caught up with the episode and Uncloaked. Wowsers!

On that basis my prediction now is that either Rachel or Fiona are banished tomorrow = big celebrations until someone says “It was all a bit dramatic between them. Could it have been Traitor on Traitor action?”

So the other Traitor gets banished shortly after leaving Stephen free to recruit. He picks Jessie, heat is off Stephen and Reece by now, as we know they all have the memory of a goldfish, so the three of them sail through to the Final where Jessie and Stephen take the win.

Rachel isn't a team player and Fiona got sick of it, I don't really blame her. I didn't like Rachel's 'joke' to Ross and the smug look afterwards. Stephen being stuck in between them is so funny

They're all awful. I'm not rooting for any of them and I'm usually rooting for the Traitors!

Great Uncloaked tonight. Maz is spot on - Fiona is so annoyed that Amanda didn't tell her.

This

she’s so jealous - like she’s being territorial about the police connection

That was epic 😂😂😂

#teamrachel sorry. Her idea was genius 😂. Fiona has big balls though, I’ll give her that

fiona reminds me of Delores Umbridge from Harry Potter though, such a snake

It was mentioned upthread that there hasn’t been traitor beef like this before

I think that Paul and the guy who ended up winning, from season 2, were chucking each other under the bus in the end 😂

I reckon the gamer girl is the barristers daughter (sorry; forgotten all of the names) and I reckon that Reece is Amanda’s relative

I wonder whether Matt and Stephen are a couple?? 👀

Jessie is the maddie of this series! 😂😂 anyway that’s Amanda off to get back to moonlighting as ted Hastings

Silverbirchleaf · 08/01/2026 21:51

“Ps does anyone else still say "Who's that again?" when Matthew comes on the screen?? It's taken us until ep 5 to remember his name in this house 😂”

Perhaps that should be tomorrow’s drinking game? When he appears, we all pile in say
who’s that?’ And we have a swig.

Agree Rachel was mean to Ross

Florencesndzebedee · 08/01/2026 21:51

I think Rachel will spin it so Fiona gets voted off but I’m hoping that it means people will now take a much closer look at her and moot the possibility of a traitor on traitor fall out. She’s a quick thinker though so may be able to spin her way out of it. Harriet will be watching her closely I think.

Delatron · 08/01/2026 21:52

Florencesndzebedee · 08/01/2026 21:47

It was such a piercing look that I’m suprised Fiona didn’t burst into flames! Stephen looked terrified - it’s all spun completely out of control for him.

I was a little scared. Stephen looks like he is about to have a nervous breakdown 😂. I think some are picking up on it..

Shamesame · 08/01/2026 21:53

I think Stephen and Sam are a couple

not sure what Rachel’s connection could be to anyone?

LighthouseLED · 08/01/2026 21:53

needmorebooks · 08/01/2026 21:47

Why didn’t Rachel, when Fiona pulled her aside, say something like, shhhh I’m telling people so the heat goes on Jade and Sam! and let her into the gameplay??

I thought she did start trying to explain that but Fiona wasn’t in a listening mood!

mumofoneAloneandwell · 08/01/2026 21:54

What if Rachel and Amanda are a couple?? 👀👀👀

placemats · 08/01/2026 21:54

So I think that power has gone to Fiona's head and Rachel's move was so out of character. Herself and Matthew may well be related.

I'm with Jessie to win - how can anyone not see that it's Stephen? Though she doesn't articulate why exactly, just a feeling, which is understandable given her stammer.

needmorebooks · 08/01/2026 21:54

What happens if all traitors are uncovered do they just stop the show early or do they recruit someone new?

Louielove · 08/01/2026 21:54

SwedishEdith · 08/01/2026 21:35

I'd be really pissed off with Rachel if I was Jade. Rachel's self-important getting everyone together announcement is suggesting Amanda's Traitor nose was accurate. So they'll all be thinking about who Amanda kept targeting.

Amanda was a little more gracious in the after show but, God, how embarrassing for the her/the met to think she had some super skill and was above her own biases.

Unpopular opinion now but I still don't like Rachel and love that Fiona has gone rogue 😄

Me too

Fiona makes better telly

BeFairOliveBear · 08/01/2026 21:54

Fiona let herself down tonight. I think it was jealousy as she saw Rachel playing a great game all day and then she couldn't believe that Amanda would confide in Rachel and not her.

I like Rachel but I do think she overplayed the Amanda being a detective "news". She should have brought it a bit more quietly to the group.

The way Stephen and Rachel locked eyes in the kitchen was a dead giveaway if anyone noticed it!

Ah yes you could be right there

Louielove · 08/01/2026 21:54

Why is everyone going mad trying to spot connections?

Citrusbergamia · 08/01/2026 21:55

Urgh, cannot stand fiona. She's exposed her true colours. She has shown she was so jealous that Rachel knew something that fiona wasn't told first, she has come out all guns blazing and made herself look deranged. Hope she's ousted next episode, she's so annoying. Rachel is playing a blinder.

I felt sorry for Stephen in the turret...2 women batching at each other...he didn't know where to turn!! Haha...

Maybe it means he reaches the final since they’ve shown so little of him so far!
It’s James and Adam I mix up. Never remember which is which.

If at all 🤷‍♀️

They recruit someone else. Normally when it gets down to 2 traitors the traitors can choose to “seduce” a faithful rather than murder (but the faithful can refuse and carry on as a faithful) and when there is a single traitor they have to “blackmail” (where the faithful they choose has to join them as a traitor or be murdered)

mumofoneAloneandwell · 08/01/2026 21:57

When the traitors attempt to recruit, can the faithful say no, or is it always ‘accept or be murdered’ ??
