The Traitors

Although I was enjoying it last night I was very tired and beginning to nod off. I realised today I’d completely misinterpreted what happened at the end. When I saw Yin on BBC Breakfast this morning I thought she was one of the 3 train evictees 🙈

I’ll need to say awake and give it my full attention tonight!

I really like Claudia and her sense of humour and I thinks she’s perfect for this programme
I haven’t got all the names in my head yet but will have soon
I think the three who went off the train will be back they did something similar last time when they had to line up before going into the castle didn’t they ?

Oh er it’s good isn’t it ?

I love this show.

I agree that Linda's claims to be cool, fun and quirky are annoying - self-diagnosed 'coolness' always is. Armani will be out soon too, I think, and I would have murdered Yin, too.

I also think the people who left the train will be back. The spy in particular would be a miss to the show, and the young man with the strange hairdo and clothes looked interesting in an odd sort of way. The woman was rather annoying, going on about how she always sacrifices herself for others, but may grow on us in time. I'd like them to be sneaked in as traitors, but I suppose that's not possible without ruining the format.

Do they all stay in B&Bs or similar? I know they sleep separately, so they can't confer, or accidentally find out who is sneaking about being treacherous, but the castle seems quite remote, and I can't see there being enough places nearby to put them all up in separate premises.

There is something about reality shows that encourages squealing in the early episodes. I don't remember ever doing it, or any of my friends - it seems to be a recent development.

Anyone watching this ?
I really enjoy this programme and I m looking forward to this new series
Did it come up to your expectations last night, a little twist at the beginning getting some folk off the train but will they be back??
Have they chosen the right traitors ? I am just trying to get the various names in my head I saw Linda’s reaction on Claudia’s word ‘Traitors’ and thought, ‘ah ha’ but didn’t realise it had been seen by any of the others (but it had)

I noticed that too BlueBelle and think that L is a dead man walking now.
Doesn’t Freddie remind you of last years winner, Harry?
The twist at the start, on the train was very strange! Why didn’t they quickly draw lots or toss a coin?Why did the three sacrifice themselves in a game of total strangers?What if nobody had got off the train?
Anyone who doesn’t fit the group ‘norm’ will be out first.Love it❤️

All younger women now squeal in over excitement, seems to be the done thing, as if they’re all around 12 or something.Also the wide open O of a mouth to convey surprise.😮

I’m so pleased that Yin has been murdered. I would be forced to murder her myself if that hadn’t occurred in the first episode.

Elen and Charlotte. Pleeease stop crying. It’s getting tedious.

I have a real soft spot for Tyler. And not just because he's from Lestor. He seems really genuine.

I liked Keith a nice solid window cleaner who seems a genuinely good bloke I also like Kas the doctor Not at all keen on Armani or Linda not because they are traitors just didn’t take to the for the start Armani’s sister seems much nicer

Hate the silly squealing. Really liked Keith. 🤷🏻‍♀️

They stay at the Marriott Airport hotel in Inverness. The next series is filmed in March and they've booked the entire hotel. It's less than an hour away from Ardross Castle.

There must be so much editing. How can the traitors come back to the castle after everyone has gone without their being noticed ? Also the person 'murdered' is always in the same room. Doesn't matter really I suppose. The suspense of it all is what matters.
The tasks are usually very good. Better than those on 'I'm a celebrity '.

Great programme, really enjoy it, just wish some of the cast were a bit more "genuine" - telling each other "I love you" when they've only just met! So false, some of them should be up for Oscars!

And like someone said upthread, I also thought the evictees were not going to reveal whether they were a faithful or a traitor - I'm sure Claudia mentioned it at the start. Must have got it wrong, but does anyone else know what she was referring to?

I think she said that they wouldn't do the reveal in the final.

In every version of the show I have seen, the evictees have revealed whether traitor or faithful as they left.

Claudia said that once they get to the final, evictees will not reveal if they were faithful or traitor but up until then, they will have to reveal themselves as usual.

Love Claudia, I have a theory that she has deliberately selected 2 traitors that are likely to give themselves away (Linda and Armani) so that the faithfuls get some early wins, but we will see.

Thanks. I thought I'd replied to this this morning, but obviously not. It's odd that they are all in the same place, as they stand a chance of seeing one another. Presumably they all go back there and the traitors are collected later to have their castle meeting before going back again - or it is filmed during the day 💡? The 'breakfast in the castle' scenario is presumably fake too? I've wondered about that, as the last ones to go in are always the ones the traitors have been discussing for possible murder, and the faithfuls will have seen the show before and know this, so will know they must be fellow faithfuls.

Thank goodness that Armani was voted out!
This series has me hooked already. I see the 'rail replacement' carriage is on the way. Might all three of the displaced people be instant traitors? Another twist.

I am watching Armani on Uncloaked just now and I am glad that she has gone as she can't shut up. Poor Kaz doesn't deserve to be gunned for like that and if I was him I would be glad to be voted off. I have no idea who they will murder next but I would be furious if I had put myself in that position by getting off that boat. Another twist coming up too. I love it.

Agreed, Parsley. I like Kaz, and was sick of Armarni, so am glad she’s gone. Linda seems to like Kaz too, so maybe he’ll be recruited next?

Yes, they seem to be bringing back all, but maybe just one of the ejected 3.
I wonder if they will be Faithful or Traitors.
I normally don’t like “reality “ programmes, but this is like a real life game of Cluedo. I’m hooked!

Me too.
And she didn't seem to be very intelligent to me...

I hope Linda goes soon. Another unbearable!
I confess I had already judged her on the train 🤐

Delighted that Armani has gone, and hopefully the next one will be Linda. I really like Kaz and hope he’s not voted off. A bit weary of the squealing, tears and shallow hugs and ‘love yous’! 🥱
