Anyone up for a 'Traitors thread'?

Maremia Fri 30-Oct-26 21:21:20

Fab-u-lous

Casdon Fri 30-Oct-26 21:21:02

Bash came good, didn’t he, they were so happy to win. I bet James is kicking himself.

Great result!! 👏👏

Basgetti Fri 30-Oct-26 21:15:06

Is it just me wondering if Maya”s gillet is made of tripe?

TillyTrotter Fri 30-Oct-26 20:38:56

Maya deserves to win, except I don’t like her. Unfair of me, but it is a popularity contest too and I prefer to root for Kenny.

TillyTrotter Fri 30-Oct-26 20:28:15

It’s going to be a huge final prize pot. Where does that money come from (the BBC are strapped for cash).

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Fri 30-Oct-26 20:26:25

I like Maya
And Kenny
I hope they smash it they deserve to imo!

However I do like Romesh and James B he’s been fun albeit clueless up to now but I like his modesty I find it endearing.

Here we go - see you on the other side!

I'm team Michael and find Maya so vain I'm hoping and praying she'll be banished before she murders him.

I agree Kenny is well positioned for winning.

As for Joanne on Uncloaked finding out who the traitors were, it wasn't funny at all, it was just a very annoying attention seeking performance. 🤦‍♀️ I'm so glad she's gone.

Absolute agree - found Joanne’s performance ridiculous and so hope Maya gets found out - she comes across as so bland

(I still think Joe Lycett would have made a good Traitor. He’s mischievous enough.)

Absolutely! I was hoping but alas, no. He would have brought that sense of mischievouness to it. Alan Carr did that brilliantly last year, which is lacking this time.

James A was given a choice, become a traitor OR be murdered. If he was that unhappy about being a Traitor he should have opted to be murdered.

He spoiled it doing what he did, outing himself. He was a bit of a wimp really in what after all is a GAME for charity!

I agree, although it should be said that he suffers with problems with anxiety so why did he put himself through this? It is a stressful situation, more so for the Traitors.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Fri 30-Oct-26 19:14:24

To be honest lack of respect for the game by Acaster. If he couldn’t handle being selected as a traitor he shouldn’t have joined the game in the first place. How could he or his agent presume he wouldn’t be asked?

BlueBelle Fri 30-Oct-26 17:53:58

I totally agree with friedgreentomatos (maybe a first 🤣🤣)

I think he did spoil it he spoiled the task when he refused to do it because the people next to him would hear him moving!!!! Yes, that was part of the game so he badly let his two fellow traitors down
Then refused to play the game by outing himself at the round table
Oh dear Fallingstar why would a sensitive soul who has panic attacks take part in a cut throat game of coffins and graveyards and murder Couldn’t be the 40 grand fee could it ?

Maremia Fri 30-Oct-26 17:52:10

I love the castle, the scenery, the missions, the fact that they all seem to be enjoying themselves ,
Would love that breakfast.
All set to enjoy tonight.
Think Kenny will win.

Fallingstar Fri 30-Oct-26 17:24:10

But he would never make a good politician.

Oh c’mon, James A was brave to out himself, not a wimp. And just because it is a game doesn’t mean that people don’t feel the pressure, certainly a few have become emotional. He certainly didn’t spoil it for me, rather he went up in my estimation as a sensitive person who really didn’t like having to lie.

@Chestnut the family would agree that I am a good judge of character but haven’t always made the right call.

Oreo Fri 30-Oct-26 16:07:45

Poor old James A , probably for the best that he’s out of the show now as it was too much for him.
I think Maya has been a good traitor also Kenny but I think the others have rumbled them now as Michael knows they were all in the library to murder Ross in plain sight.

Chestnut Fri 30-Oct-26 15:38:11

Fallingstar

I don’t like either of the surviving traitors.

You must have genuine people-reading skills to see beyond the façade.

If you read the article above, it shows how clever Maya and Kenny are at gaining people's confidence and trust. It's what they do for a living so they're professionals. 😳

I was amazed that not everyone was onto him after he outed himself Graphite.

Graphite Fri 30-Oct-26 13:38:13

Exactly, Delila. It gives her (and Kenny) the opportunity to murder Michael, if that’s what they choose to do, and a day of breathing space to divert attention elsewhere but where too?

I do think the remaining Faithfuls have finally, finally cottoned on to needing to look at those they least expect and admit the mistakes they made during the scarecrow mission. They would have been so much stronger if Michael hadn’t turned the heat up on Sharon.

FallingStar. I was rewatching the first episode. It was Richard E Grant who chose James A to go head to head with Amol on that first murderous evening, as he said James was onto him. REG didn’t need anyone to be onto him! He more or less banished himself!

Fallingstar Fri 30-Oct-26 13:24:53

That was in reply to Graphite

Fallingstar Fri 30-Oct-26 13:24:22

I agree that they missed a trick with Joe Lycett. As far as I am aware it is the agents of these celebs who suggest that they take part in the game show in order to raise their profile, though now the show is so popular I imagine even high profile celebs are queuing up to take part. Perhaps James A is at a bit of a tricky crossroads with regard to his career after suffering with his mental health and so decided to give the show a go. I think he should have had a word at the beginning with the production team to say he couldn’t face being a traitor, I know is game with rules that must be followed but there’s nothing wrong with making allowances.

Delila Fri 30-Oct-26 13:20:39

Maya looked (to me) as though she couldn’t hide her contempt for James A’s confession, but in fact he did her a favour, as it diverted the suspicion that was fast closing in on her.
