I think you are right Chestnut.
My latest thought on President Trump
Has anybody watched the 2nd series of 'The Traitors' on BBC1 / iPlayer tonight?
I really, really liked the 1st series last year - so much so that I also watched the US & Australian versions on iPlayer to ease withdrawal symptoms when it finished 😂.
Another obsession is about to start I think.......
I think you are right Chestnut.
I read that they have already recruited for the next series. In the meantime I shall be viewing the USA and Australian versions.
I think we all knew Harry would win and that doe eyed Mollie would never betray him I hope she has learned that not every good looking man is a goody
I don’t think I want to watch the other versions that ll put me into overkill and I ll go off it
Claudia is totally excellent it’s a part made for her I can’t imagine a US equivalent I think it will do me good to wait a year
Was it filmed last spring? I think Miles (?) Said "leaving you with a little Easter egg".
I was hoping that Mollie would vote for Harry and get her share of the money because the truth was going to be so harsh for her. It was heartbreaking to watch her distress at the end.
I think the parting Easter egg was for this Easter. It was filmed in the summer when the countryside is looking its best and the weather more likely to behave itself.
A great tv finale wasn’t it tho?
A worthy winner in my view, and surprising he was so good at it given his young age.I see a future in tv for him now.
Felt sorry for Mollie tho of course.A lesson in not getting involved and bonding when taking part in a game for cash.
Poor Jaz, he deserved to win a share and if Mollie hadn't changed the name then he would have had nearly £50,000. She will have to live with that. What a stunning ending that would have been if Harry had victory snatched from him at the last minute. I wonder how he would have taken it.
On Traitors Uncloaked Mollie and Harry were asked if they were good friends again 'for the viewers' and they both said yes, but I don't believe that for a minute. I did wonder if Harry might have shared his winnings with Mollie but he didn't.
I think Mollie will be damaged for a long time to come. She seemed to forget the name of the game.
Poor young girl and I thought he was a sociopath. All that guff about the money being for his family. She may yet come out of it well though. Shame the oldies were turfed off early.
Ha! Parsley,I recognise the quote.
Bluebelle… try the other versions of Traitors, maybe after a short respite. Alan Cummings on the US version is creepily good , not similar to Lovely Claudia, but weird. Give them a try!
I agree with you DM I think she will be affected for a long time to come and I hope she is getting support. I think the producers need to think long and hard about recruitment for next years show. Its all well and good having to be inclusive and recruit all members of society, but Meryl was vulnerable last year just as Molly was this. They both have enough difficulties to cope with without being made a target for more ridicule. What happened to Molly could just as easily have happened to Meryl and will happen again if the wrong participants are selected.
The series was recorded a good six months before it aired and before the 'Uncloaked' programmes that followed each episode on BBC2. Last night we saw the contestants together again. Molly said that she and Harry were friends on Facebook though we all know how little or how much that can mean! She was certainly able to speak calmly and evidently without regrets. After all, she did have a part to play. How much of her ingenue act was just that - an act?
Its been a while since I was aged 21 but I don't think she was ingenue at all. Smitten by H and his full lips and cheeky chappy act. A terrifying character, still I expect he's good at his job.
Poor Mollie. Having coped with all her physical issues to discover that she can't trust her own judgement. I agree. She'll be upset by this for ages.
That smug, smirking laddie will have frittered away all that money in no time. He'll also have affected how people think of him. Not trustworthy.
Feel sorry for Jaz as he was the only one who suspected Harry. Can’t believe Mollie was so stupid to think Jaz would have wanted to continue the game if he was a traitor. Just didn’t make any sense at all.
Good grief! It was a game entered into for a large amount of cash.
They all knew what they were doing in entering it.
Harry played a good game as he was meant to do when getting a tap on the shoulder and told to be a traitor in the game.
He deserved to win for playing the part so well.
In the recorded bits to camera he seemed like a very nice young guy to me, uneasy at deceiving Mollie but keeping the endgame in sight.

Well, there were three possible scenarios that Mollie had to consider in a few moments of time.
If Jaz was a traitor why didn’t he vote to end the game?
If Jaz and Harry were both traitors maybe Jaz wanted all the money to himself?
If Harry wasn’t a traitor, maybe Jaz just wanted him out of the game so he and Mollie could share the cash fifty fifty?
Excellent ending, though I was hoping Jaz would win as he had been so perceptive, apart from his misjudgement of Miles.
I was glad I watched Uncloaked afterwards as I would have been buzzing with questions if I had gone straight to bed! I think it is a good innovation this year.
Series three next year?
I'm not at all sure about a celebrity version - it would depend so much on leaving the politicians out of it for me.
Apparently Harry is one of the jet setting crowd and posts pictures of his lavish lifestyle, so it seems he even duped us the viewers. He said money wasn't important to him, but he would like to take his family all out for a meal and not worry about paying for it. My heart bleeds.
His lying and cheating skills make him a deserving winner, but he certainly isn't a worthy winner. The others all wanted to use the money in a philanthropic way on worthy causes. Harry was rather vague but said it was for his family, especially his parents. What a shame Mollie changed her mind on the slate..........
Just watched Harry on 'Uncloaked'. So inarticulate. Every second word was 'like' followed by lots of 'sort ofs'. If it wasn't for his baby face he'd have been out much earlier.

He drove me nuts with all the, ‘myself’ and ‘yourself.’
Harry has a media presenter girlfriend who has musician brothers who use private jets. From what I read in the media he is destined for a career on the telly so watch out for him on Gogglebox or similar. He was surprisingly inarticulate in his interview and I thought that his baby face was a bit fuller than before. I do hope that Mollie's career takes off now. She deserves a boost.
Of course,it's a game. Entertainment on a cold January evening. Who was being played? Strange how in the North of Scotland there was very little rain. Who chose their clothes and kept them so clean and tidy? How come they never seemed tired or hungover? These silly questions crossed my mind.
I don't think H was a nice young man who felt uncomfortable after he got the tap on the shoulder. I never for a second believed all the 'big family' shtick. All going out for a burger which he could pay for? Don't think so. The guy is a sociopath,an accomplished manipulator and liar. Handy skill set.
