I'm sure!!

Yes I think it’s a bit too long between episodes too, it kind of loses the momentum. Three times a week would be good, and they wouldn’t have to be consecutive nights.

Oh come on, that's just Romesh's schtick.

Ed's new hairdo is awful!

I can't say I see anything magical about Bella.

Of course he was! He's very deadpan.

Oh Joe, I've missed you 😍

Agree - 3 a week would be much better.

This 💯

I agree

God, they all take it so personally. Miranda is a right po faced bossy boots.

Yes it's a game to be played seriously - ish but lighten up, laugh about it. So what if Blunty was leading the charge against annoying Julie. He's one of the very few who has displayed an interesting personality. I don't know why I'm still watching

His name is Romesh. It’s really not hard.

Didn’t it used to be x3 a week?

It did!

Exactly this. It was the best she could do, and it also saved her having to return to talk of the shield shenanigans, where all she could do is sound weak and defensive.

On uncloaked, Bella said she was murdered because she was too LUCRATIVE with her opinions.

Come on folks, of course Romesh was joking - deadpan is his thing! Watch him on Last One Laughing, nothing could crack him until Jimmy Carr took him down in a very controversial move.

Haven't RTFT, so forgive me if this has been discussed, but who's likely to go tonight?

Personally, I'm hoping the Traitors try for Leigh-Anne and fail. That would throw the cat among the pigeons.

My housemate and I both think Hannah is doomed and that they should have put two of themselves forward for the hide and seek to confuse everyone...

I thought they might have put two of themselves forward too, or at least Hannah, just because I’m not sure the faithful will pick up on the possibility of the traitors including themselves. Maybe Miranda would. Or others who have watched a lot of series.

The mission was all so bonkers it felt almost surreal to be watching it at times 😂 I loved it.

I think the traitors would have put one or two of themselves in IF they'd known about the key

The key will throw the traitors too!
Especially if they go for Leigh Anne!

I noticed that too! She seemed incredibly pleased with herself. Really not getting any of the genius / smartest person I've ever met stuff. She has a nerdy sense of style and is a fine actor as I understand - that's it

I lost the will to watch whatever happened with keys and running in the forest.
I want Blunty, Welsh lady, Ross Kemp (full name) and Leigh Anne to win.

I reckon if they kill someone successfully they will point the finger at Leigh Ann for having the key and because this game "always" has a traitor hiding amongst them.

One of the hiders will mention that Leigh Ann had a shield, someone will claim there must have been a traitor.
