hannah said she didnt want to say anything

I thought Hannah was taunting the Traitors with being a bit dim, so they will choose to do the less obvious thing, and get rid of Jerry instead of her, in a bid to prove that they are actually quite clever.

I do hope so. But I fear they won’t

Checking in on this thread - such a fun show and great for family viewing ! This series looks like it’s going to deliver ( again )
We are away in the States for the last few episodes - do we know if I player works abroad

Checking in - this is a great start to the series!

I would have recruited Rom & murdered Ross though.

Would have 'proved' Ross's murder paranoia and set the cat well and truly among the pigeons!

I don’t think she was saying they were dim - I thought she was saying they were feeling defensive.

I am hoping she stays as she’s more interesting to me than Jerry. I mean ex model famous for marring rich men is a bit less earned - is that unfair to say?

i do think a strong sports woman would be more interesting but i guess in pure ‘celebrity’ terms she is quite famous or knows famous people.

I think it’s also interesting how aging the process is, I feel the over 50s look almost older than they are in the particular lighting. No disrespect as I would look even older than them!

I don't get the general love for Maya I have to confess. I find her very cold and false - and the way she glottal stops the word Traitor makes my teeth itch! She also can't move her face properly for some reason 🤐

Traitors are meant to be cold and certainly meant to be false. That's the point!

You’ll need a VPN to wat h. I’ll be in the US too for much of it

@Uberaddict

No, iPlayer doesn't work abroad (even if you have a TV licence)

Nord VPN works well in Europe for iplayer but not tried it in the US

Ross Kemp (always 2 words) looks younger than his age I think. No way he looks 62!

I think the traitors will be given the chance to not murder, which means that Jerry and Hannah will walk into breakfast and come under immediate suspicion that they are both traitors.

@StrawberryStreet - I’m sure you’ve grasped it by now (!) but the point of the challenges isn’t to provide huge challenge. They exist to expose the contestants. From the moment they step into the shared cars they’re in unfamiliar situations that make them less guarded in their speech and actions. In the midst of the chaos and mild effort of the challenges they’re all likely to behave in off the cuff ways that might throw them under suspicion or cause them to feel suspicion towards another player.

For the civilian players the money may matter - but I imagine each of the celebrities could probably gift their charity whatever sum is eventually raised, from their own pocket, without raising a sweat.

i think the lighting is fairly harsh and also there’s no general soft focus I guess?

But Kemp does look more like 50s for sure.

I agree. If I'd been in Hannah's position, I think I would have tried talking or suggested some breathing techniques to try and ride it out for a while. It would be a shame if Hannah went because Jerry just isn't interested in putting any effort in.

First time watching it and enjoying so far. I’m quite enjoying how much REG is enjoying himself but I agree he has to go. Really hope Hannah is not murdered. Will be interested to watch some old series.

Ah let me google - thanks

Nick Mohammed did this with the charity he was playing for last year apparently.

I do find Hannah more interesting than Jerry.
This may be because I am deeply envious of Jerry's gaff in Richmond! Wish I could afford even a tiny flat there.
