Yeah I don’t like it, it’s just not Ed. Bring back the quiff!

Welsh? There's a Scottish woman and an Irish woman, but no Welsh, I don't think

Who's Welsh?

Leigh Anne has already had some heat on her , so this may prove to be more suspicion on a faithful!

Sheen is Welsh, but I'm not sure he identifies as a lady.....I'd assumed she meant Joanne who is Irish.

Welsh lady ?

Bella seemed nice, but not sure why they were all so convinced she was some kind of genius. Hannah may have played a blinder with her speech defending Julie. I absolutely love Miranda and I think she's actually the cleverest one in there.

Miranda is very smart.

Yes, Miranda is super smart, but I feel she's being underestimated because of her slapstick TV persona.

.. well, until she changed her mind about Hannah !

Leigh Ann to go please but can't happen can it. I dont want the interesting ones to go.

Bella does seem nice, but I think many of them decided she is clever because she uses long words (not always correctly, lucrative??) And the non binary thing, therefore is philosophically advanced. Having worked in a university for nearly 20 years, they are 10 a penny. And actually quite dull. She was more interesting than most of them. But not the smartest person there by a long shot. That's Miranda and Maya for me. And Maya is underestimated because of her looks, and Love Island, which is working well for her.

I actually think it would serve Romesh and Robb right if one of them was murdered, they’ve been playing it very safe and that is no accident. I really want Ross to stay for the LOLs.

True, but she did acknowledge that was silly, and won't do it again, I think.

I think they'll go for Romesh, but would like it to be Rob.

Will the Traitors know who is in each crypt?

I’m not clear on this either- the way the traitors talked about the risk of it backfiring if they’d put one of themselves in there made me think no, but some of the posts on here have confused me!

edit- just realised they may have meant ‘backfiring’ as in, it makes people suspicious of them, not that they would be at risk of being murdered. I’ve never watched The Traitors before so think I initially understood incorrectly!

second edit- obviously, because traitors can’t murder traitors. I feel quite stupid.

I think the names are on the doors. But they don't know that one won't open.

I noticed that random 'lucrative' from Bella as well and wondered if I'd misheard! I also wonder how many re-takes they had to do when people said 'she/her' because once we've learned to speak we say pronouns correctly without conscious thought by mistake.

I think so, I think Claudia said the crypts have their names on them.

Ah, yes, I was thinking, "lucrative"?

I've never watched the regular version so don't know how this works.

Will everyone be told about the 4 who are selected, and how someone is murdered (or not, if they choose leigh Anne)?
or can they decide not to tell anyone?

Same reason they had to summon the spirits..... So we can see something in TV ha ha

That's because she never puts forwards any theories or has anything useful to say! She swans around in designer gear smiling enigmatically and saying absolutely nothing . Outside of her Traitor interviews she's getting absolutely no screen time because she's not doing anything.

I think Bash is quite clued in, I'd not heard of him before but he seems willing to get stuck in and has some decent arguments.
