Have we won? 😅

Maya is the only one worthy of being a traitor.

Love Maya! She is so chilled and not shifty like Hannah and James A. She's the only one who wanted to be a traitor though. I feel bad for Hannah and James.

Richard should have not fucked up and they should have recruited Amol.

Hannah could have said no though

I like Romesh.

Romesh is so funny too.

"Happy?"

"Not massively"

She is very calm and a strong player

I'm confused... do the traitors know who's got the key?

It's going to be a cliffhanger as to who gets murdered, isn't it?

Why do they have to run? They’re not going to see the traitors anyway.

It's good TV!

She reminds me of Rachel and its not just the amazing skin.

No and they only get to try one door. If it’s Leanne’s they don’t get to murder anyone,

Eta the Traitors don’t know there is a key to lock one door, I don’t think.

no pl don't let Romesh and James B go.

Not sure any of the potential victims will be considering that the traitors could have chosen one of themselves to be a traitor. I hope the do, but it might depends on them having watched a lot of it before

No.

So if they decided to kill.Leigh Anne no one is killed.

Ramesh annoyed me then by not agreeing to give the key to Leigh and wanting the key for himself. Rob gave a reasoned argument.

Rachel was amazing.

I hope everyone gets to know the rules, like the fact that possibly no murder would happen as a result, or that the traitors could have included themselves, etc. Otherwise the faithful will end up assuming the four chosen were definitely faithful. I’m not sure the faithful are really that clever and might not work it out if not prompted!!

Ramesh annoyed me then by not agreeing to give the key to Leigh and wanting the key for himself. Rob gave a reasoned argument.

He was obviously joking!

For atmosphere, innit. 👻 👻

Chivalry? I think I missed his argument.

Ramesh is horrible.
