Agree, I think he misunderstood.

Weird, the link I followed definitely said mother and sister (didn’t say step sibling either way). A triumph of reporting either way.

He’s David Hasselhoff (sp?!) tonight !

I'm thinking Roxy will be murdered tonight to increase heat on James. But Rachel is close to the wire, especially as Steven is feeling vulnerable and isn't sure he trusts her any more.

I had to laugh at Jack moaning that his hair got messed up in the rain. Having wet hair was the first time we got a glimpse of the good-looking guy he so cunningly disguises!

Poor James, hahahahaa I'd be just like that if I were in the castle, making an absolute oaf of myself, with the added handicap of Steven's flushing and startled eyeballs.

I was thinking that. Rachel has contributed to saving his neck more than once and its common sense that they have to be more subtle about defending each other.

I thought Faraaz was playing a blinder saying he suspected Rachel when only Roxy and Stephen were there and he also suspected Stephen but then he told everyone! I think they'll murder Roxy. I agree Jade has really done nothing and Roxy has been useless but thats what happens- the bland ones and the clueless ones get the furthest because they arentvseen as a threat to anyone.

Matty is pretty shrewd. I like him.

..

How awful :(

Jake was brilliant!

She’s bricking it, that’s not raging.

I honestly don’t know why she applied, she’s just not built for this. Even though she’s had lots of suspicions on her it’s always somehow turned around at the RT and she’s remained in for this long.

I fully understand the need to defend yourself and what not, but she plays it in such an immature way and always defensive to the point you’d think all this was actually happening to her in the reality of her day to day life. I would hate to be her line manager, it would be a nightmare if you had to tell her anything slightly negative, I can just imagine the “yeah but, no but” dialogue with lots of huffing and eye rolling.

Matthew came across really well on Uncloaked. We didn’t see much of who he was outside of him wanting to be a traitor outside of the game and he seems lovely. I’m glad they introduced Uncloaked as it’s so nice seeing them all outside of the show.

Yes Matthew really thinking. Like him

as for Jack he needs murdered

Jake was okay but Leanne was a bully and ostracised people from the safety of her clique, I wouldn't want to win like that.

I really liked Uncloaked for this reason. I’m not a follower of traitors across the various SM channels (here and the family whatsapp mainly, plus the odd comment from friends on other channels) so for me Uncloaked is the first real glimpse of them speaking for themselves.

Across all the series they come across so much better on Uncloaked than in the game which is why if they are equally unpleasant on Uncloaked I assume that is the real them.

Amazing episode tonight. Really hope Faraaz has not played his hand too soon.

Jack is actually pretty gorgeous 😍

I remember Leanne getting really huffy and angry if anyone voted for or even just mentioned her but really went all guns blazing to others I feel that’s how she won.
Come on Faraz get Rachel out

It was a murder suicide

I think she’s streets ahead of any other Traitor there has been, genuinely impressive. When you look at the Faithful who are left and imagine them winning instead of Rachel, well, it would be a travesty really!

I really didn’t see it like that, I thought she just played a good game and confused the others by letting them assume she was a a dumb blonde beauty obsessive whilst using all the strengths she had available from the military.

If the others had assessed her on her actual performance rather than her looks they should have spotted that, just on her physical performances alone.

Matty on Uncloaked has blown my mind.

What did he say he was gonna do if seduced? Tell the Faithful he asked the Traitors at the Confessional who they’d murder next and they said Rachel? Was that to protect Rachel or throw suspicion on her (because a Traitor would say their own name, to suggest they’re Faithful)?

I know a lot of people view Leanne that way but I never did. I have zero issue with people disliking her (or anyone else for that matter) but I think everything we saw from her outside of round tables and everything we’ve seen since the show ended has shown her as getting along with everyone and remaining friendly with her fellow contestants. I don’t think anyone can get to the final without playing a good social game personally. She was certainly forthright at round tables but if she was actually a bully then there’s no way there wouldn’t have been safety in numbers in voting her out.

Jade or Roxy?
