Hasn’t Rachel, Fiona aside, put a target on her back with the secret disclosure regardless?

You want to be less noisy to stand a chance of getting to end at this stage.

Rachel will have to give the name of a traitor as being one of the people Amanda picked. If they vote out a faithful on her say so then surely the game is up for Rachel.

timetogetlost · 08/01/2026 22:29

Reece to win!

mumofoneAloneandwell · 08/01/2026 22:29

One thing that is still funny

is when they take off their cloaks and Rachel looks down at the TINY Fiona 😄😄

Ah, thank you! I was sure I’d missed someone but couldn’t think who.

Isn’t Matthew up for murder as well?

People always forget him!

KittyHigham · 08/01/2026 22:34

That was nuts.
Amanda played the game really badly. Talking about wanting to "help" everyone else was so patronising and baseless. She had no greater insight than anyone else but obviously thought she did!.
And as for passing on her thoughts to Rachel as if she was the oracle, well that was just arrogance.
Rachel handled that whole thing really badly and just drew attention to herself unnecessarily. And then Fiona! Who had the reaction of a jealous 9 year old who is desperate to claim to be Amanda's "BFF". She's 62 FFS!
She could have subtly undermined Rachel and played a blinder, but she had hissy fit in the playground instead! All 3 traitors can go as far as I'm concerned.

Stephen's face stuck in the middle of those two is utterly priceless
I'm starting to wonder if he ends up making it to the end and winning despite all his blushing and sweating and guilty face

I’m starting to wonder the same about Stephen! That approach certainly paid off in the celebrity traitors for a certain someone!

I still don’t get why Reece hasn’t said how odd it was that Rachel and Stephen shooed him from the family tree painting.

Edited

Probably because it wasn't unusual at all - the players are always grabbing each other for one-on-one chats. We saw it happen a couple of times today.

dayswithaY · 08/01/2026 22:42

Good for Fiona, Rachel was acting ridiculously - gather round everyone I have an announcement! Big deal, she was a detective, she was also a crap judge of character and she’s on her way home now anyway so who cares?

And then to double down by saying she was just trying to help people - it’s called Traitors for a reason you daft cow, she wasn’t trying to help anyone but herself.

Fiona exposed Rachel’s pomposity and ego, yes there will be repercussions and Fiona might be on her way out but it was brilliant television.

No I’m not - I asked the OP if there was a way and then others butted in when it wasn’t them I directed my question to

people could just say the winner is an idea - it’s just curtesy - I did the same the other day before talking about news items

Plus it makes it impossible to talk about Uncloaked on these threads. The guests are there to talk about their experiences comparing them with the current departing players.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 08/01/2026 22:44

Nine beasts set on fire, nine people whose shields were destroyed so can be murdered. Amanda's gone. Fiona and Stephen are safe. That leaves six: Sam, Reece, Jade, Ellie, Faraaz, Matthew?

ThatCyanCat · 08/01/2026 22:44

It does seem to be Traitors who do big performative actions, now I think about it. Like announce Amanda's secret to everyone, or accuse Rachel in front of everyone. There was a Traitor twit in the Aussie version, I think it was, who suddenly decided to make up a story about the Traitors trying to recruit him and him refusing and hit everyone with it over breakfast. Absolutely no reason for it, he was just getting off on having carte blanche to lie to everyone. He was beaming while he did it and the other Traitors were horrified. Banished quickly after that.

dapsnotplimsolls · 08/01/2026 22:45

Please let them murder an Interchangeable!

Agreed. The generally accepted definition of spoilers is things that haven't yet been shown, or that have been written about in media before they have been shown. Not stuff that happened ages ago.

I’m not sure, I think if Fiona is voted out and she says she’s a traitor - they’ll all think oh phew thank goodness we didn’t fall for a traitor’s manipulation about our dear Rachel

Wow! What dynamite! Just finished on catch up.

I agree with Maz on Uncloaked. The worst thing about the entire incident for Rachel is now her name’s out there as a possible traitor. When she was totally under the radar. No one suspected her.

IMHO it could go either way if Fiona’s banished. Some Faithful may wonder if it was traitor on traitor. Others may see Rachel as an innocent, thrown under the bus by a traitor.

But, whichever way, Rachel’s now much more exposed. That’s why, IMHO, she made a terrible error revealing Amanda’s secret so publicly and so soon after the roundtable and so close to bedtime. Of course, she could never have dreamed Fiona would react like that. But it still drew unnecessary attention to herself for so little apparent gain.

I believe she let her emotions (at losing an ally in Amanda) get to her. She should’ve ‘resisted pressing send on the email’ until after a good night’s sleep and some reflection.

And as Mark said on Uncloaked, even if they resolve things somewhat in the turret (which they’ll surely have to do to decide who to murder) they must still pretend the next day they’re still going for each other. Because if they were Faithfuls it would’ve festered overnight. And how can they resolve it to the Faithful? Fiona can hardly take back her traitor accusation.

They’ve both messed up and let Stephen off the hook. It’s a hot mess.

Stowickthevast · 08/01/2026 22:46

Faraaz is up for murder too.

I do think Fiona was miffed at no longer being in control and threw her toys out of the pram. It'll be interesting to see whether the others just dismiss it as Fiona being silly - the persona she's been creating- or whether they take her seriously. I think Rachel made a mistake making such a big deal about what Amanda said. She should have learnt that big speeches do you no good.

I know everyone is a bit bored of the relationship speculation but I did think when Amanda and Reece were both up, their reactions made them seem like they were related. I can't remember what Amanda said to him, but it signed very motherly. Then again, if they were, you'd think they'd make more of it.

It's certainly very entertaining!
