Anyone up for a 'Traitors thread'?

Forgot Michael Sheen was there 🫣
Yes he is keeping quiet, very quiet. Probs trying not to draw attention to himself.
Miranda seems unusually quiet too but probs trying to do the same.
Am hoping they will engage a bit more as the show goes on.

I would like someone else to host "Uncloaked" ideally...
🤷‍♀️

Richard could point out that Joe’s question was naive. When there was only one answer. So couldn’t resist teasing. He probably would have said it were he faithful.

TillyTrotter Sun 04-Oct-26 16:57:17

Oh…. you’re opening up another line of possible contention on here NotSpaghetti 🙂
Are you suggesting anyone?
Or shall I go first?
Tom Allen

TillyTrotter Sun 04-Oct-26 16:58:36

Actually I’m now thinking Tom might have been a good cast member in the Castle 🤔.

I know it's her "look" (fake tan fan), but Claudia looks jaundiced! Perhaps it's our TV. 😃

If Tom Allen was in the Castle I would have problems watching until he had left! Sorry!

NotSpaghetti Sun 04-Oct-26 17:34:38

Ha ha Tilly!

I have read that James A is a comedian but what shows has he been on?

I thought it was a strange choice of shade for her make-up, too.

What was REG thinking? At this stage I don't know who I think will win - far too early, I think. I find Jerry annoying, but not unbearably so.

The thing that really does annoy me is the twice a week scheduling. There is no point in saving it all to the end, as people can't resist spoiling TV shows they've seen, so I am following it in real time, and it's painful.

I think I first saw James Acaster on Dara O’ Brien’s “Mock The Week” some years ago.
He is an interesting character , quirky, but deep thinking.
Not perhaps your usual Comedian, but that is his day job.

kittylester Sun 04-Oct-26 18:16:33

I really rate James Acaster.

NotSpaghetti Sun 04-Oct-26 18:31:21

Now, Tilly, Dara Ó Briain could do "Uncloaked" in my opinion.

Silvertwigs Sun 04-Oct-26 18:58:50

nanaK54 Yusssss please!

TillyTrotter Sun 04-Oct-26 19:03:49

Is it Dara’s intelligence, his accent, or his bald head that stirs you Ladies ? 🫢

Hope that you are luckier with the Lottery!!

What don't you understand?
If you watch it then surely it is self-explanatory?

I can't wait to see how it goes. I love James Acaster. He is funny, quirky and obviously very bright despite his comedy persona. I hope Hannah Fry stays, she is so lovely and I love her giggle. Poor old Julie, in the firing line because she is a genuinely nice person. I am looking forward to seeing Rob, Romesh and Charlie be a little more vocal and I think James Blunt is absolutely lovely. I have always liked his humour. Bella, Jerry and Seb don't float my boat and I absolutely cannot stand Joe.
The first Celebrity Traitors go my husband hooked on the programme so he is really hoping that this series is going to be as brilliant. For those who are watching this for the first time, do give it a few episodes before you throw in the towel. When it is such a large group it is not as exciting as when there are fewer members but those first few weeks give you context. You also find that you actually get to like celebrities who might have never warmed to before and the opposite happens too.
Despite Bluebell's rather unpleasant post which is rather unusual for her, it would be lovely if we could have a thread where we put history behind us and just direct our comments towards the Celebrities rather than each other.

Perhaps he'll grow on me.

I wasn't that keen on Alan Carr but enjoyed watching him in Traitors and ended up really wanting him to win.

DamaskRose Sun 04-Oct-26 21:12:29

I don’t know half of the celebs. Yet. So far I like Hannah, Joe, Julie, Miranda and Ross best. Can’t stand the loud Irish woman. Has Richard shot himself in the foot or played a blinder?! Time will tell. Loving it!

BTW, I actually think Hannah Fry's partner (sorry I've forgotten her name) should offer to leave so as to save Hannah from the risk of getting the chop. Seems the right thing to do.

It's Jerry Hall! One I do know.
She was married to Mick Jagger then to Rupert Murdoch and says she leads a much calmer life now.
That was until Traitors.

I don't think it would be fair for Hannah to go either.

Thanks JenniRen how could I forget? You've lifted my brain fog and I can give you one more of Jerry's conquests, Bryan Ferry! First time I was aware of her.

I'm currently watching the repeats on bbc 3, thats how much I'm into it.

Claudia W. can't be bettered for my taste. I thought Alan Cumming was pretty good in the US one, but she has the edge.

Oh, I missed that one!

Namsnanny Sun 04-Oct-26 22:05:26

Just realized that Jerry Hall could have been Jerry Ferry if not for Mick. I bet I'm not the first to notice that :-)

She must have decided against Jerry Jagger 😁 and kept her maiden name.

I'm sure she'll be the one to be murdered by the traitors given the choice ...
