Classic

Can forgive his cloak.

Yeah that was weird

worst Traitors there have ever been. Maya boring, Hannah and James reluctant and Kenny just made a twat of himself by making stupid decisions like not using his double dagger properly. Glad Romesh won, I won’t remember who Bash is in a week or so.

😂

I thought Kenny was pretty good to be honest. He almost won.

Eh? Not up tp her, surely? If so, the production team have some questions to answer!

She has a say in selecting the OG traitors but they can't interfere with what traitors choose to do once the game is underway.

People can refuse to be recruited, even if it means death...

😀

I think at that point he had no real choice. I disagree with the commenters suggesting Maya wasn't doing enough - going all the way to the last round as a starting traitor is rare.

Two different charities

Ok Jo, I take it back- that line about Cherie Blair having a nerve calling someone else’s husband thick was worth you being in the series!😆😆

Exactly what I just said to DD 😂

Kenny was the best traitor

I'm watching uncloaked and didn't hear Claudia say that...

I think Maya was brilliant, and I also think she understands Kenny had no choice.

Well, shame on them for not lumping ‘refugees’ into one big homogeneous charity. Bloody Slebs, all agreeing on something important, the bleeding heart twats. Tchuh.

Kenny is huge. For my teenager he was the only actually famous person in it. It may give him access to new things, though. I mean, I wouldn’t have known who he was (or Niko last year) had I not had a 14-year-old who makes me watch Beta Squad videos.😃

Agreed

She collaborates on choosing traitors but I can’t believe she has that power - only image was co producer or similar

I think the production team meet to alter the player contracts!

That go towards the same cause.

👏👏👏👏

I think Maya did really well considering her other traitors were REG and James A!!

He and Maya made some terrible decisions.

That’s not what she said. She was talking about the traitors deciding who to recruit and they pondered someone else (who would have been reluctant) as an alternative to Kenny so she went it to bring the conversation to a halt. She was being lighthearted anyway.
