The Traitors - new reality show on BBC1

Chestnut

^So poor men have listened and cottoned on ‘oh it’s ok to show emotion’ ‘we don’t have to have a stiff upper lip’^
I agree men should allow their emotions through in real life, although we don't want them blubbing at any little thing. It's knowing where to draw the line.

But sobbing like Kieran did when Amos was murdered is ridiculous. He had only known him a couple of days and he was only out of the game. He hadn't died in real life. To see a mature man sobbing over something so trivial was rather feeble.

I said the same thing - Amos wasn't actually "murdered"! A complete over reaction - even though it must be a stressful time to be in the series.

The good news is that its back on Tuesday! Not sure how the ending works either...

The BBC have spoiled the show for me. They showed spoilers last weekend which identified the final few so knew by Tuesday who was left for final week and possibly final episode. Ruined last weeks round table and traitor murders. Thanks BBC 😡

Thanks for not putting spoilers on here kissngate

I don’t know who will win - it still seems wide open to me.

Oh no, how could the BBC have done that?

I think people are now going to be suspicious of Amanda. She picked Theo as her 100% trusted then voted him out! I’ll be surprised if others don’t start to vote for her.

Yes, that was a strange move. It will work against her, I'm sure. She was in with a good chance until then.

Yes Amanda spoiled her record by choosing Theo. She’s made people suspicious. Bad move Amanda but can’t wait till next week.

If the spoilers came at the end of the last episode then just do what I ALWAYS do and that is stop the recording or the playing of the programme as soon as the 'next time' message appears. I am ready with the stop button every time. If you can't stop it playing then at least hit the mute button and look away.

'Next time....' is so annoying on every programme. I have been cancelling them for the last 15 years at least. I do not want to see what is on next time, I want to enjoy it when I see it.

Looks like Amanda has blown it! Getting a bit edgy now!

Yes Amanda made a bad move I don’t want Wilf to win though
Perhaps it’s all a con and Andrea, the most unlikely, will win

I want Andrea and Wilf to win. I bet they'd share the prize money with the last faithfuls though.

I don't mind if Wilf wins. I don't want Maddie to win, but I'm not really sure why, other than her persistent going on about Wilf.

I like Andrea, but don't think that either she or Faye is likely to win. I can't remember any of the others off the top of my head.

Amanda is my favourite and I really thought she had it in the bag until that fatal mistake. I think she may have blown it. My second favourite is Aaron. Yes I know he cried but he has also impressed me once or twice on the challenges being quite resourceful and brave. For a 24 year old he is fairly sensible.

For some reason I'm not keen on Andrea, she just seems a bit needy and doesn't seem to contribute, just hangs onto the others.

The plot thickens!! (Don't want to write too much, in case it's seen as a spoiler alert!)

I would like Hannah to win , the first night she was quite loud but I've really warmed to her

Will Kieran accept the seduction and then stab Wilfred in the back (metaphorically)?

Loved their faces when Amanda announced she was a traitor! Poor Aaron will never trust his judgement again as he totally believed she was a faithful. He has remained in the game because he is basically no threat, but I can't see him winning. He is my favourite now, but last night I found his skin tight pin stripe trousers really annoying. Either have no stipes or get a size larger!

I was sorry to see Amanda go. Keiran is bound to accept the offer to be a traitor. Means he can stay in the game.
I was cross at Wilf so not sure I want him to win. I really want Maddy out. She's so annoying and also completely wrong about poor Aaron!

Last night's challenge was good - the boys were impressive... but I feel less supportive of Wilf since yesterday - agree Chestnut Loved their faces when Amanda announced she was a traitor! It was TV gold!

Is Kieran going to be aware of what his options are? I think he and Andrea are doing well, as they seem above suspicion at the Round Table.

Maddie is still annoying, and now Meryl is starting to irritate with her hysterical shouting and nonsense theories - she never has anything of value to add to the decision on who to vote for!

Yes Meryl is so excitable and is another who is not a threat, which is why she is still in the game. So we end up with all the bland people who are not a threat to the traitors. Those who are clever or have leadership qualities all get murdered!

Totally agree Chestnut. The ones that can be manipulated by Traitors remain in the game ie Meryl and Hannah. It's a numbers game and future contestants should form groups quickly in order not to be outside a pack.

It's the final next and it looks like there will be more twists and turns. What fun.

An interesting episode with Kieran really getting wound up. I didn't like the way he became so angry and lost control so I'm off him now. 😠

I admire Wilf and think he deserves to win for playing the game so well. 🤩

But I don't envy him when Hannah finds out he's a traitor. Hannah won't take it well. She believes in him totally so there will be blood and feathers on the floor!

Aaron is still my favourite but I don't think he'll win unfortunately. 😍

Agreed on all counts, Chestnut.

I've liked Wilf from the start, and I do think he's playing well - I don't blame any of the traitors for being treacherous - that's the point of the game.

You're right about Hannah - she is quite volatile and has invested a lot of emotion in trusting Wilf. Aaron is a bit of a drip, I think. I'm not sure about him. I'm pleased Maddie's gone, and I'm not bothered either way about Meryl. Keiran's ok - I think the heightened emotions go with the territory really. If we had a vote, mine would be for Wilf, but I don't dislike any of them.
