The Traitors - new reality show on BBC1

Agreed, Tom is a know-all and has suddenly turned into a control freak! Trying to manipulate everyone and their votes. I really hope it will be Ivan voted out just to put Tom in his place. He won't dare say another word about anyone if Ivan stands up and says 'I'm a faithful' before walking off. Oh the glee of seeing Tom's face. I can't wait until tomorrow night. Please, please let it be Ivan voted out.

Another thing, some of them are really quiet and we hardly hear a word from them. They could easily be traitors simply by being so quiet. I know it's in the editing but surely they have more to say. Amos, Andrea, Rayan, Theo and what about Meryl? No-one would suspect any of them.

I suppose Tom is relying on people thinking that as 'one of the top magicians in the world' he will be able to read body language and so on. I can't say I'm convinced that that's the case, really .

It was an odd episode, I thought. I agree that all the weeping and wailing is strange. People are not being betrayed by life-long friends - they have only known each other for a few days and went into it knowing that they were in competition with one another.

I'm sure that the experience of something like this is more intense than real life, but the sobbing and histrionics is making me wonder how well they were vetted for robust mental health. I thought TV companies were supposed to be better at that nowadays.

Too much crying last night - always the men... I think Tom is the only one to have any suspicion about Alyssa (I think she could win).

The sheep recognition task seemed quite easy (watching at home of course!)

I think Amanda most likely to win. No-one seems to suspect her. Alyssa and Wilf are already under suspicion.

I want Alex gone now so I hope that the traitors kill her off if she is not banished ( I am really uncomfortable just typing that as it sounds so cruel 😳)
Tom is going to provide entertainment value with his ridiculous boasting. I agree about the quiet ones. It is time that they got some attention.

Can't believe they haven't picked on Tom?
He's a " me thinks he protests too much man" and sly. I would have latched onto him.
Didn't think I would enjoy this, but I do.

I'm loving it as a study in human psychology and it's an entertaining concept too

Totally hooked on this show. I hope Amanda votes for Alex to go and presume the Traitors will banish John. As someone said its the quiet ones that are likely to last the longest. If you speak up and draw attention to yourself it only makes you a target for the Faithful. Think Wilf will be the first Traitor to go and Amanda likely to make it to the final week. Started watching the first Dutch series with sub titles but only the first two episodes, will watch two more at the weekend as I dont want to see any spoilers of how the game progresses when less contestants remain.

As for the crying what on earth is wrong with these people they've only known each other two mins obviously didnt graduate from the school of hard knocks.

I really want Ivan to be banished but only to see Tom's ridiculous over confidence in his people reading skills nuked!

And so it came to pass! When Ivan said he was a faithful Tom shouted 'kill me now' and rushed outside to have a meltdown. Delicious!

It's the youngsters in their 20s who are crying and as we've all noticed in the last 20 years children are brought up in a completely different way. They must be kept happy all the time, whereas the further back you go the more children had to cope with failure, being wrong and not getting their own way all the time. Maybe this is the result, adults who are still infantised.

I m not sure what it is but the lads seem much more tender than the ladies
I liked Ivan seemed down to earth
I really can’t take to Alex at all not just ‘the big lie’ but she doesn’t appeal to me and Tom was awful big headed and over powering
Nice to see Amos and the other chap back
I think Amanda is so far the most under the radar I though Alyssa was but both her and Wilf have been mentioned

Totally agree with all the above. Loving the twists and turns of this series e.g. the shield idea and the return of the other 2. The church scene with all the masks was quite creepy - OH couldn't believe they were real people!

Just wish I could look as beautiful as Alex when I cry! Yes it pays to be a quiet one in this game.... noticed that Andrea, the older lady, is keeping a low profile!

During the windmill challenge, everyone agreed they didn't trust Fay, yet surprisingly, not really being accused being a traitor!

Surely the traitors will have to bump off Maddie (she's annoying and close to uncovering Wilf too!)

Really looking forward to tonight's show!

Maybe Andrea is quite prominent in the group but the editors just don't show her contributions? They seem to focus more on the more attractive 'yoof' members. We're not seeing it all.

Love it, episode four was great, suspenseful but funny! So glad Tom has gone, although he did add “edge”.
Love Claudia, why get irritated by someone’s fringe?

Is everyone else supporting the traitors/

I have a soft spot for all of them, and don't want them to be unmasked. I think it's because they had no say in their traitor status - if they were really 'betraying' people I'm sure I would be against them.

I feel I'm on the traitors side too

Me too!

Me too. I am joining in with them to choose who to murder. Does that make me a bad person?

Does that make me a bad person?

Well, you're in good company if so .

The faithfuls behave like a bunch of hysterical sheep. The traitors deserve to win.

Totally agree - the Traitors do deserve to win! Was wondering though whether being a traitor gives you a better chance of being the winner - obviously only if you're good enough.

Does anyone have any ideas on who will be "murdered" next??

I think there will be a few more twists and turns. I did think yesterday that the traitors were getting an easy ride when Claudia said that they were playing a great game. I also think that when the numbers reduce it will be harder to hide. Two traitors are already under suspicion, and there are still quite a few still standing - particularly as they brought the other two back in.

Decision time for Amanda!!
