Kenny is such a brilliant choice 😁

That was a massive clanger that Joanne dropped at the round table! Coupled with her weird vote for Bash, I wonder if it will come back to bite her before long. The Traitors should keep her in though because she hasn't got a clue so is no threat to them!

I feel like they do though. James A and Hannah wanted to be faithful but they’ve accepted the traitor role. What else would you expect other than accepting the role they’d prefer less and doing their best? They haven’t refused anything.

Thank the Lord for Kenny stepping into the turret to liven things up!

Is it just me or is there a wee bit of a spark between him and Maya?! 😜

I'm kinda glad to see the back of Hannah, everyone kept lapping up her ideas too much.

Maya is so good at this it’s scary.
I wouldn’t mind her winning it all tbh.

Less moaning.

Would hate for her to get to the end based on being so thoroughly dim though!

In the morning they'll know someone was recruited, and what with Joe going 'recruit me', i wouldn't put it past some of them to decide it was him.

Joe will be getting heat now.

Kenny is a great choice. And teen DD reckons his shower scene is the best yet!

Maya has been good at going under the radar but her traitor choosing is awful. Joanne would have just been a lamb to the slaughter.

Hope Kenny can act cool at breakfast, if he can get over the first day of suspicion, he should be able to stick it out.

It's such a shame that he wasn't a traitor from the very start. I find him by far the most entertaining person on the show, although Blunty has his moments too!

I think Kenny will be fabulous. He’ll play it as faithful and go under the radar. Maya won’t change at all. Cool as ever.

James blunt was annoyed at being called a traitor wasn’t he.

Surely the faithfuls can’t think that brazenly begging Joe would be recruited?

Hmm, some of the faithful are not that bright though !

Hannah really minded being banished. Her face as the votes were being announced…
She pulled it together for her piece to camera afterwards but I think she REALLY wanted to win.

Hmm, listening to Uncloaked and Minah referred to “Ross Kemp” whereas most other Celebs are referred to by first name only (Michael Sheen being the only other one I noticed).

Clutching at straws, but Minah are you in here……?

I think she was sad to go, but had known from the day of the coffin task that she was on borrowed time.

It's the radioactive fingernails that do it for me.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of Kenny.
Maya is good- she knows how to play the game.

I don’t mind Joanne. So glad they have a happy traitor !

I like Joanne, she’s hilarious. If I was on The Traitors I’d rather come off funny than right or clever.

Bless her

I think it was a mistake recruiting Kenny. Everyone knew he was going for Hannah - he sniffed her out so of course the traitors would want him onside now.

Have you seen James Blunt’s instagram post? Ends with him sat on a little tractor on a level crossing as the barrier comes down. Then cuts to black and says tomorrow
Wonder if this means he goes tomorrow
apologies if this has already been discussed

Maya plays such a good traitor"

Maybe but she hasn't been tested yet! Everything is a bit too easy at the mo
