You have us 😁

Yes - could recruit instead if Richard goes.

They usually end in the turret.. so it’s fair to question why we’ve ended at the round table. I’ve watched every episode of every different version of traitors and that just annoyed me 🤣

Erm, latching on to Leigh-Ann for putting on some lippy?!

I didn't realise JB was so very posh!

Was thinking when I saw the HIGNFY trailer what fun Paul Merton or Ian Hislop would be for series 3. Or Gyles Brandesburton!

And it makes watching that much better

maybe maybe not it’s not automatic it’s up to production what’s the most dramatic

It’s her self professed prefect energy. Make up off at 9pm, day done.

You can’t have seen all the versions because it quite often ends with a cliffhanger at the round table

I have though.. lol maybe I’ve just never been quite so invested.

It’s been a pleasure folks. Off to watch Ed and Amol…

I think a recruitment would confuse the faithful more. I'll be sorry to see Richard go - I've always enjoyed his performances. Also one of the very few celebs about whom you always hear positive comments form RL.

On uncloaked just now someone thinks that’s one of the worst Traitor theories ever 😂

And faithfuls may just buy in to Prof Fry’s theory 🙄

Loving everyone calling only Ross Kemp by his full name.

Joe is the funniest. Him impersonating the “oh I know Richard says he was the traitor but this book points to people with green eyes” trope.

Ohhh that would be good.

So REG banished leaving Maya and James to either murder or recruit.

James said he wanted to be a Faithful. So might not be too murdery.

And Maya did seem to sympathise with Hannah. REG told her we’re not social services.

They do it quite often. The weirdest was season 2 when a traitor, who the public knew was a traitor, was banished and they ended the episode with her saying “I am…” as if finding out what she said was any kind of a cliffhanger for us.

Do you know what, I vaguely remember that and sitting here thinking… why? 🤣

They will have left it on the round table for the cliff hanger. The murder is 50/50 so that’s not much of a cliff hanger really.

They can’t recruit “tonight”. There are only 2 people to choose between for murder if they both walk in then they’re just getting banished immediately. They’ll probably offer a recruitment next time.

Is Amol wearing his slippers on the podcast?

‘Do you have more teeth than a normal person?

That works for the traitors though doesn’t it? Recruit and let those two get banished at the next round tables. It keeps the traitors safer for longer. Especially if they recruit one of those two and feed the faithful a win.

That was a manipulative episode. It's obviously loaded to keep the Traitors and dispose of the Faithfuls.

However I do hope that Richard G is banished.

As to the Traitors having to make a choice between Hannah and Jerry, that's the manipulative bit. In a twist. Goodnight Hannah.

No one thanked Hannah for pairing up with Jerry. It was obvious that she was going to cry the safe word.

Hannah was the hero. Totally sacrificed herself.

Amol is coming over better on the podcast. It must be very hard to pipe down in the early rounds.

I found his memoir quite odd and he’s living up to it
