Thank you @CaveMum for these threads, must have been such a lot of work to keep on top of it all and I’ve really enjoyed reading them.
I am so happy with the result. I totally fell for the edit and got scared Stephen would write Rachel’s name on his slate but deep down I knew he wouldn’t. He was clearly fighting his conscience the whole way through as a traitor and someone who says thank you to a hand sticking out of the ground giving him money and says to Claudia “oh my goodness is that person ok?!” is just lovely in my opinion!
Rachel was a formidable traitor and definitely had the upper hand at many stages of the game when things weren’t looking good for Stephen and she stuck by him. I do think this served her purpose in the game too because if he’d been banished she would have had to recruit someone else who might not have been such a team player.
Jade and Jack made the Molly mistake of trusting a traitor implicitly just because they liked them as a person. Faraaz did not have the courage of his convictions and was just not strategic enough.
Rachel, Stephen and Jack were on BBC Breakfast this morning and I had to laugh when Jack said he would invite them both to his wedding and Rachel said “I’m actually a celebrant so I can marry you if you like” and Jack was like “Really?!” She just laughed and said “No!” It was just proof that she can say anything and people will believe her and that is the main reason she did so well in my opinion.
