Yes, he really isnt enjoying it. They had to pause filming in one episode because he got overwhelmed

Do any of you think that Joanne's blooper (when she implied she was there when the 4 Faithfuls went to their crypts) means that actually the contestants see more than we realise when the cameras are off?

I had heard that they are all isolated individually, away from the castle... but maybe that's not true and she actually saw the 4 cars taking some of them back.

For me, the way loads of the other contestants laughed at her blooper seemed odd. They seemed to all switch out of 'being filmed' mode and they suddenly seemed like a mistake had been made that would clearly be edited out.

Lol the TV announcer on bbc wales said and now at 8 o clock another episode of the repair shop….only joking I’m not a traitor! Haha, high 5 to that person!

Kenny has got all the oomph that James A lacks.

Can Kenny keep a lid on his glee though?

After REG, he'd have to be a right idiot not to!

Claudia jumper. Love it

Joe is just trying to be entertaining. He's not playing to win.

Me too. I wonder where it’s from?

My Two Faves

Celine. Hideously expensive!

They’re all completely clueless

Omg. How dear is that.

Should add I’m not a fashionista, I just have this page bookmarked!

I think Joe’s most likely to go tonight.

Ridiculous!

I think James is excelling as a traitor now, in the same way that Alan Carr did. Ie, James’s natural awkwardness and dead-pan-ness is covering is actual nervousness. He’s also getting more confident at speaking out.

Joanne isn’t doing herself any favours is she?

People might reason the traitors would recruit him because he is expected to get axed after that performance.

Yep. And one of them had the theory that he’d been a traitor from the start and said that to throw everyone off. I reckon it’s between him and Joanne with Joe leaving.

I thought he looked so nervous last night that I don’t know how they haven’t clocked him

Oh dear, it’s the unfortunately shaped statue parts again!

But does he always look nervous, ie is that his natural disposition

They’re not exactly rushing are they, unless they’ve been told to walk because of the weather conditions.

Boring task that they don't seem to be very into, but I guess the rain is dispiriting.
