Anyone up for a 'Traitors thread'?

Like the show a lot and better head off to pedants’ corner with this - Claudia! Surely Claudia or whoever wrote her script, knows the difference between the vets ‘to lie’ and ‘to lay’. When she told the first two potential victims to ‘lay’ in the coffin, nearly had to turn off! But then watched a new pathologist thing ‘Winter’ and someone was told to lay on the sofa. This is so common an error now, I think the battle is lost.

Well I watched it last night, my first ever episode (after friends had recommended it). Can't say I thought it was great and really couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. Should I have watched the previous series first to appreciate what is going on? Am I missing something? Maybe it will grow in me - so many people love it, but at the moment, I can't see why!

Maybe it's just not for you. I only started watching it when I saw a clip of the celebrity version on Gogglebox, I was intrigued so I tuned in and got absoluely hooked.

It makes a nice change to see something that's not full of pouty orange girls with strange eyebrows and young men with Turkey teeth and David Beckham like tattoos. Not to mention Kim Jong Un haircuts grin

Keep going would be my advice, you have only seen a very small part of the game.
Perhaps all will become clear when you have seen a round table.

Yes, I would say stick with it for another episode at least, see how alliances are formed and banishments are decided at the round table.

Quite a few names I don’t know but I m sure I ll get to know them I didn’t know of Cat last year, but found her a really intelligent young lady and thought she played a brilliant traitor
Don’t know the James chap in the coffin either,
Joe Lynette looked a mess in those shorts 🤣

I’ve never ‘taken to’ Richard, but like Amol who does a lot of charity work with youngsters, hope he stays.

I told DH that some people thought Amol was arrogant. He said, "yes, he probably is but I like him, think he'll be good as a Traitor". I agree.

We're not at all keen on the other one, we don't know why.

BlueBelle Fri 02-Oct-26 18:51:45

Amol has a lot of intelligence he would make a much better traitor than gurney Jo Richard

Oreo Fri 02-Oct-26 20:02:49

I love Traitors, it’s fascinating to watch.Richard shot himself in the foot from the off 😂

Jaxjacky Fri 02-Oct-26 20:28:46

Nooo…

Traitors is rather gruesome tonight!

nanaK54 Fri 02-Oct-26 21:06:15

Oh no, don't do this to us! grin

Banish - Richard

Murder - Jerry, I think she's going to be a liability

Yes I agree

GrannyGravy13 Fri 02-Oct-26 21:14:18

I think Jerry will be murdered, not sure about Richard being banished?

I am definitely hooked for this series 🤦‍♀️

JenniRen Fri 02-Oct-26 21:16:16

Unfortunately, I think they'll get rid of Hannah because she's far too clever. That wouldn't be fair because she wouldn't be in the firing line were it not for Jerry.

Possibly Richard will be banished but some think he's playing a double bluff.

JenniRen Fri 02-Oct-26 21:17:09

Not blaming Jerry, though, because I might have panicked too.

JPB123 Fri 02-Oct-26 21:21:31

I love it ,already

ferry23 Fri 02-Oct-26 21:23:13

They know what they're letting themselves in for and I would be very surprised if there weren't some kind of rudimentary psychological screening or questioning before they were signed up.

I definitely would have been in a real panic in that coffin hence I would never put myself in a position where I might be expected to do something like that.

shysal Fri 02-Oct-26 21:25:35

Oh no! What a cliff hanger! I can't believe we have to wait almost a week to find out who is banished!

Fallingstar Fri 02-Oct-26 21:29:06

I do love this show but am am new to it, having dipped my toe in now and again but never watched the whole thing, not sure who everyone is, missed the first episode so perhaps it was explained then,
I know the comedians and most of the actors I think but haven’t a clue who Maya or the black guy and the two black women are, or Bella and Sebastian. Are Bella and Sebastian in some kind of band?

Fallingstar Fri 02-Oct-26 21:30:05

Oh and I don’t know who Hannah is either though she looks familiar.

I am totally hooked but sorry that Amal went.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Fri 02-Oct-26 23:10:53

Amol Rajan first out. How utterly perfect.
Puffed up, pompous bag of wind.
Now, get him off University Challenge where he seems to think his role is to show off that he knows more than anyone else.
