Not sure, but I think she's done really well for herself as a self made woman coming from a not at all privileged background. Father in and out of prison throughout her childhood, mother had her at 18, worked multiple jobs to raise her without a lot of money and without her dad, obviously. It seems like Maya built her own media career from the ground up through self started projects and sheer hustle. It doesn't bother me at all that she drops her t's (I know it wasn't you that said that)

Edited

I think she will come out of this well, along with Kenny, Rom, Miranda, Sharon, and Hannah.

@EdithBond did James A actually take the oath though? I can't remember. Not that it matters its a tv show!

If an activity for charity like one of these involved me doing something I was fairly sure I couldn't do – let's say running a marathon – I would not sign up to it, get people on board/have people expecting me to turn up, and then quit early/underperform. Because I know I'd feel awful if I did have to pull out before the end and leave the charity up a gum tree.
James A, knowing he would not want/be able to be a traitor, nonetheless signed up for the show also knowing it wasn't 100% guaranteed that he wouldn't have to be one.

So are you also blaming all the others that haven’t played the game well enough for not getting to the end for their charity? There can only be a few winners at most?

Why do I get the feeling that half of the production company are on here trying to convince us that the mess of this season makes for excellent telly, and James A has actually put his own spin on playing The Traitors and made it a ratings beater?! 😂

This season feels really amateurish and embarrassing. I wonder if Claudia is considering her position?

Namechangewegovyjune26 · Yesterday 19:51

I do wonder how it came about that James confessed. It was edited as if he was caught but he wasn’t really. Surely it would have been better for him to blunder and show himself up as a traitor rather than confess. I can only think he must have confessed during his panic and they couldn’t show that sp production had to cobble something together (including his confession) that resembled what happened.

I agree. Or he had a panic attack and left the room and agreed this was the best way to handle it with producers. In Romesh’s reaction to James telling everyone, you can clearly see his slate which shows a vote has already taken place that we didn’t see (edit fail!)

Are you still watching, baroqueandblue?

Apparently the audience numbers are good

Haha! And there was an edit fail with Romesh’s slate being up already in his reaction… showing a vote had taken place that we didn’t see. Was it a tie break and James had the panic attack when he had to defend himself perhaps?

She's probably wondering if she should have stuck with Strictly 😁

15 million have watched apparently so someone other than me loves it

Choux · Yesterday 20:01

Did Claudia’s chat show officially get cancelled?

dapsnotplimsolls · Yesterday 20:01

Fingers crossed Smug Sheen has gone. Come on, King Kenny!

Yes!

well she cancelled it

CaveMum · Yesterday 20:01

Ratings have been some of the best of the year apart from stuff like England games, so there’s no chance of them stopping/Claudia leaving.

Don’t they all have to take the oath to be given their cloak? I don’t specifically recall it. Have been meaning to watch it back. And his argument for being recruited.

I think he got his cloak in the church didn’t he after Amol went in the coffin?

Romesh dancing is magic 😂

I'm sure there'll be at least one more Celebrity version - they just need to select carefully. I hope people aren't reluctant to do it.
