James isn’t good at poker face

Sure, but not all autistic people are the same or deal with situations the same. James A is obviously struggling, and his autism is likely to be a contributing factor.

Me neither

I didn't know he was autistic either so I take back my comment re miserable

It’s her neon green talons. Just don’t fit the aesthetic of the castle somehow

Which is why I said " worked well for her".

Minah was fab. Love to see her back.

This was such a good episode.

Glad Hannah was able to have a bit more time in the castle rather than being murdered almost right away, because of Jerry's actions.

Realllly looking forward to Kenny as a Traitor after his brilliant reaction!

LOVE Kenny - he is such a good judge of character, the others listen to him.

Me too. They shouldn't picked him as a Traitor. My friend just told me he had a panic attack while they were filming one of the scenes.

Who are the audience with Ed in the tower immediately after - just the crew? They are loving Hannah

I feel like I missed an episode even though I didn’t

I read that if Maya knew James A and Hannah didn’t want to be traitors, she wouldn’t have picked them

Hannah has changed the course of every game in future now!!

Oh wow, jade Is there and NOT in a fantastic outfit…disappointed

Oh I like it, she looks studious and understated!

With that laugh Kenny has a future as a panto baddy.

Hannah spoke about his panic attack so I assume whatever it was about wasn’t shown as she was there for it. I feel bad for him being recruited when he would have enjoyed being a faithful so much.

I would pay to see him as Captain Hook this Christmas.

Love that Kenny is so happy to be a traitor. In future it should be clear that they can only recruit if they want to be traitors or don’t go on the show unless happy to be in either role.

I can’t wait for her to put out her explainer video after the series ends. She said in her pre-series post that she would be reporting on whether her theories held true once the whole thing was broadcast.

It's all Jerry's fault. If she hadn't fucked up, Hannah wouldn't have been recruited.

For those who haven’t seen it, Hannah explains how she worked out her equations.

I agree that in the future everyone who.comes on the show should be told they have to be ok with being either a Traitor or a Faithful.

My faves so far:
Miranda
James B
Ross

Don't really care about the others tbh
