The floor is yours…

My bad!

I wouldn't mind if James or Jade won but they haven't really done much. I'd be ok with Stephen winning because he's clearly shown lots of smarts in the Turret. Definitely not the dull ones. I could live with Rachel winning but I don't really want her to.

I admire Racheal’s game play immensely, but I went off her a bit tonight. She obviously does not need the money and has been able to afford FBI training. Feel like the others need the money more, but I guess that is not the point of the game.

Jade has done absolutely nothing except show off her posh knitwear collection!
I understand why she might be guarded given her background, but she's still done nothing.

Rachel has played a good game, Stephen got better. Together they've worked well having each others backs, so I don't mind them winning.

Jessie deserved it as has worked so hard.

I wouldn't mind if Jade won as I feel it would be life changing for her - I know that feeling when you first have your own place and you feel safe.

I suspect Harriet has 'won' in terms of value and exposure by blowing the place up before leaving so everyone will remember her as "Harriet from Traitors" when her book comes out, and sales and appearance money comes rolling in... probably more than the prize money

I really don't want FBI Rachel to win. Stephen I wouldn't mind.

Not Roxy or James but any of the others. Jade maybe or Farazz.

I think Rachel and Stephen deserve it. They’ve played a good game and deflected well when both of them have been against it. Jade, Jack, Roxy, James, Matthew no time for them at all in terms of the game. Faraaz seems so laid back but again not played the game.
glad Jessie went. I do think this traitors has been more adversarial than any other.

I wonder if people will start to go for Faraaz because he seems so relaxed.

Can't believe Steven survived that one
Poor Jade what an awful thing to go through

I would say give it to Roxy

The faithfuls are just sheep

I loved him for the sneaky shield thing, he was like a naughty child. And bless him for having to blurt it out to everyone the same day because he just couldn't bear it any longer!

He always says such self-deprecating things, too.

It's far more satisfying if the winner has earned the prize through being smart, contributing well and adding to my enjoyment of the game. At the moment that would be Rachel and Stephen.

Series 1 and 3 winners were disappointing. I hope the same doesn't happen this time but I'm not confident.

I think that’s how I feel. She is playing very well, and she’s confident and good under pressure - I just can’t warm to her. I have liked other traitors - like Minah or Cat in the other series, there’s just something about Rachel that hasn’t got me rooting for her. I think she will win though.

I think they'll give it to Roxy

She is best mates with Stepehn and even at the RT said she doesn't think he is a traitor at all.

Also she hasn't suspected Rach.

Out of everyone left she is the safest faithful for them 2.

I think it is a really bad move if they kept the dagger for themselves.

It might save them for one round table but then they'll be gone.

But if they give it tp Roxy.
It'll put heat on Roxy. And out of all the faithful left she is least likely to vote for either of them.

Give it to Roxy she’ll give double votes to Claudia and still look annoyed at everyone else when she’s wrong.

Personally I don't care about who needs the money the most. It's a game of skill. One might argue that Harriet has plenty of money, but she deserved to win more than these numpties.

Rachel comes across as very dislikeable but she's obviously well liked and trusted within the castle, so I think this must be down to editing.

The traitors have only to date won 1/3 UK series

She didn't end up.doing much and got voted out.

My current faves are Roxy, Jade and Rachel.

I don't think James, Jack faraaz deserve to win. They've been pretty useless. And Matt is also annoying and seems quite smug.

I want either Jade/ Roxy to get to the end or Rachel.to win.

Nah, she fucked it.

In the end yes, but I think deliberately so as she only came on to sell her books.😀

In the first series that guy cheated.

Otherwise Wilf- a traitor would have won.

I like Roxy.
