The floor is yours…

A night of Schroedinger’s Rachel, she is both alive and dead.

That could not have worked out better for the tv

I knew it was going to end there but I’m still so annoyed!

I was hoping to see Roxy and Rachel on uncloaked tonight 😂

Joe!

She has 9 bloody lives Rachel!

No, she and Stephen would have to persuade one of Jack, Jade and Faraaz to vote with them and I don’t think they will.

The game is so much harder for traitors so hope a traitor or 2 win. Players like Jack and Farraz have had an easy ride by comparison

Gahhhh!

Jack was annoying me all episode and even more with that switch!

The chests are never side by side when Claudia brings them in. It looks like they are trying to make the chooser pick the first one. It bothers me.

I saw Minah a few weeks ago filming something near a train station.

Minahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Can’t wait to see Roxy’s face when she realises the 2 she thought weren’t traitors are !

@pouletvous Agreed. Either she's revealed as a traitor or James is revealed as a faithful and that turns the spotlight right on her.

I felt like they were using the power of suggestion with the placing of the chests. But more that you would go for the one farthest away….

Same - if James goes he is a faithful so she’ll be next anyway

For a moment there I really thought they wouldn’t leave us hanging!

I can’t decide whether they would let Rachel have her moment if she was the one out (as she’s out in so much effort as a traitor) so it must be James out. Or if they think everyone would lose interest if there is just Stephen in so it must be Rachel out.

Does Joe Marler own a single pair of trousers?

Or they go fully off piste and say well Jack’s never had any heat so persuade Jade to go for him

I really like that it has come down to chance. Rachel has played a great game and Stephen hasn't betrayed their deal. If she goes out now there is nothing she could have done.

But i think Faraaz might get Stephen

Jack and Faraz have slipped through as invisibles

But that’s how to win

I think Faraaz and Jack will win.

So Stephen throws the knife in Rachel but doesn't vote her. Wimp. If she's not banished, he's had it!

I'll be furious if Jack wins.

I disagree. It’s easier for the traitors. They don’t have the threat of being murdered, only banishment. They are in total control, choosing who to murder based on their own strategy and they know the status of every player in the game.

Faithful are in the dark, they don’t know who is who and can’t murder people who threaten their game.

Traitors may have to lie, which could be difficult I’ll grant, but it’s easier to win as a traitor.

Plus traitors can win the whole pot on their own, faithful can’t.
