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)

What do you think the ‘superpower’ might be? I have absolutely no ideas at all!

Aveline Thu 23-Jan-25 11:28:22

I really want Charlotte to win. I hope she can keep up her cover for the rest of the week.

NotSpaghetti Thu 23-Jan-25 09:43:20

I hope he has said NO to her plan but I expect he has said "yes".
😟

Poor Freddie. He knows that he is probably doomed for banishment now and they won't know that he has only just been recruited. Faux Welsh Charlotte is playing a cracking game.

The chess game was brutal I thought. We were cringing from the safety of our sofa!

I’m definitely warming to Alexander. He seems like a ‘nice chap’ and puts his all into the tasks. Frankie is rubbish at the round table! She is so sure she’s right every time and she gets it so wrong!
I also think that Jo has had his day. He’s such a whinger.
I think Charlotte might be another Harry, with Freddie absolutely certain that she’s 100% faithful 😂

My thoughts too Oreo!

Thank goodness Joe isn't involved with teaching anyone in my family!
Had he taught me I think I would have been sitting outside the headmistress' office most days! grin

Aveline Sat 18-Jan-25 14:15:01

I can't wait for Leeanne to go. She's so full of herself. I like Alexander. I think he'd be a good person to have on one's side
I really want the Traitors to win though.

Love the setting, and the decor, and the tasks, and Claudia. Haven't read all your posts, sorry, as I have just started watching series 1, and am avoiding spoilers.

Parsley3 Sat 18-Jan-25 14:04:27

Is Joe the English teacher? If so, I would definitely murder him for whining.

Oreo Sat 18-Jan-25 13:27:52

If I was a traitor I’d murder Joe next followed closely by Leanne. Barbie can dish it out but not take it and Joe is petulant the whole time.
I bet Frankie gets banished next.

Yes. I agree that the BBC seems to have plans for Linda. They are trying to present her as an ‘icon’ and pushing that everyone loved her - while it seems that most people actually weren’t that keen.
I too thought Fozia came across really well on the after show. It’s a shame she wasn’t in longer.

BlueBelle Sat 18-Jan-25 07:48:36

I thought Fozia was lovely on the BBC2 programme quite dry and funny she was someone I d love to have a coffee with i could almost see a twinkle in her eye
Linda I wasn’t so keen on although according to her she’s had loads of ‘fan mail’ she seems to have been on every BBC talk and news programme, far more than any others seem to have done

LadyGaGa Fri 17-Jan-25 23:25:24

I think Minah is struggling a bit to keep up with the deceit. She just puts on a hang dog face and looks all sweetly at everyone. People are picking up on how quiet she is.
I think Charlotte makes a great traitor. She is planting Minah’s name around quietly. I think she might just take all the money.
Does anyone watch the after show on BBC2? It’s really interesting to see the banished ones come together. When Linda and Fozia were on you could tell there was still no love lost!

BlueBelle Fri 17-Jan-25 22:55:58

I agree Parsley I think Charlotte will push her under the bus anytime soon did you notice Minah said something like she’d couldn’t wait to share the money two ways and Charlotte was completely quiet no way will she be sharing the money!!

Parsley3 Fri 17-Jan-25 22:40:27

Not a bad episode this evening. Poor Minah, she doesn't know what's coming from her fellow traitor.

Aveline Fri 17-Jan-25 17:24:53

I think the tasks are interesting. Quite unexpected really

BlueBelle Fri 17-Jan-25 16:02:17

Well you ve no way of knowing whether this one is better or not then FGT 🤣🤣🤣

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Fri 17-Jan-25 15:52:53

I recently binge watched all of series 1 (12 episodes) with Aaron, Will, Hannah, Amanda etc. it was brilliant! Never to be repeated as so enthralling I think so I’ll not watch more.

escaped Fri 17-Jan-25 14:55:17

Minah for me too. She's very good.
I think the others are trying to analyse it all too much. They can't be sure of anything, so need to loosen up and play the long game.

BlueBelle Fri 17-Jan-25 14:46:50

I don’t know what you mean either Parsley I havent seen any different behaviour to any other series I haven’t seen anything nasty at all I felt sorry for Kas but that s the game isnt it
I think the newest Traitor (terrible with names is it Charlotte?) I think she’s rather clever and will throw Minah under the bus before we go much further

Farzanah Fri 17-Jan-25 14:44:31

I agree about this year’s personalities Parsley. I think it has turned out quite disappointing after getting hooked on it last year. Some of the new games haven’t been great either. I don’t really care who wins. The faithfuls don’t deserve to, but
Claudia remains super gothic.

RosiesMaw2 Fri 17-Jan-25 14:43:56

RosieMaw2.. Sorry typo.. . Straight forward views...

All clear now! gringrin

lixy Fri 17-Jan-25 14:26:05

Me too Parsley. I am glad Anna has gone as I found her really irritating, though I felt sorry for her as she clearly found being in the coffin distressing, as would I!

I haven’t found anyone this series who I would like to pal up with, and I think that’s why I’m not enjoying it as much as series 1 and 2. Still love Claudia though and will definitely watch the rest of the series.
My money’s on Minah to win; OH was in favour of Jake but is backing Charlotte now.

Parsley3 Fri 17-Jan-25 14:05:46

I do agree that the Faithful are hopeless. I am not actually enjoying this mix of personalities as much as I expected to and I don't know why.
