I hope the producers edit carefully as last year it looked like they were carrying a bunch of phallus’ (phalli?) up the hill.

Go Miranda!

Someone paid good money for them, might as well use them 😂

They fix it now so they can't keep it secret who gets the shield and protect the whole group.

Given that this is the BBC, I wonder how her clothes budget works. They obviously spend a fortune, and presumably they’re not allowed to have stuff donated for publicity (although the designers are certainly detailed in various places).

Does it not look suspicious that Maya took the shield when she’s not on anyone’s radar?

It’s not the Beeb though, it’s Claudia’s Personal stylist Siobhan that organises the wardrobe, so she can source whatever she wants.

Good heavens where do these people get their clothes?

But for a Beeb show, which presumably has a clothes budget for the presenter? The clothes are just such a big part of the show.

Jerry Hall is so funny. She has amazing bone structure too.

I've said it in the previous thread but I ❤️ Jerry

She's very droll

She is very droll

I imagine they borrow a lot of her clothes. It's not product placement; she has to wear something.

I wonder if they’re just loaned by the brand. I’m sure in a recent series it was spotted that multiple contestants were wearing the same brand of knitwear.

Miranda has good instincts.

I agree

Kenny too but he is obviously a traitor now. Ross is paranoid gold

Love James Blunt’s eighties tracksuit look

hope Joe doesn’t go

If BBC are reading this, great photography and music.

That's often the type that Traitors murder as they won't be banished

I adore Jerry. She is so beautiful. And I think she is sharper than the younger people think.

Gone for the Mrs Trunchball look!

I suppose it's so that they can all branch off into smaller groups but I hate watching them all eating off their laps.
