Who's been watching? I've got one episode to catch up on, so no spoilers! But all that drama with Harriet against Rachel was intense! It's amazing how strongly people get into their theories about who's who based on not very much evidence, but she was on the right lines for once.

Who are your favourites? Do you think the traitors will win out this season?

    This series does seem very different to previous ones. It's like everyone's playing an individual game instead of a team game this time. Also been very confused by people asking to be voted out to prove they were a faithfulโ€ฆbizarre!

    Was also very interesting to see the people with a background in policing and similar get it completely wrong. Trying to pin stuff on innocents and even giving the 'criminals' insider information! (I'm sure there's a moral to be learned for the real world there).

    Regarding the final, I can't see either of the current Traitors winning. Even if they make the final, I would expect them to be voted out as both are raising too much suspicion now. My current prediction is that one of them will get voted out, and be forced to recruit another, before we get to the final, so that could change the course of the game.

    Traitors time is very important time @michael57! The board game sounds fun. Did you win as a traitor or a faithful?

    I've seen that you can now do The Traitors Experience in London where they set you up with a group and you play a shortened version of the game. I can't decide if that would be really fun or totally awful ๐Ÿ˜

    Oh absolutely @OverlyAnxious, it's felt like everyone's very out for themselves this year. Especially after watching the celebrities who were all quite nice to each other.

    I agree with you about the people with legal or policing backgrounds too. They're all so sure of themselves but get it so wrong which makes you wonder!

    It'll be interesting to see what happens next. Rachel's in a tough position and I'm not sure Stephen will get away with it either. His facial expressions are legendary though ๐Ÿ˜

    Ooh @michael57, very tactical of you to take it all last minute! I'm sure she'll forgive you eventually ๐Ÿ˜

    I think Rachael will betray Stephen, I hope they both get banished out.

    We played a digital version of the board game at Christmas too @michael57
    Although ours ended very quickly when the only traitor got confused by everyone's numbers and targeted themselves for the first kill!

    As for the show, it's one of the first seasons where I really don't mind who wins, I'm not leaning towards team traitor or faithful.

    I thought Matthew asking the traitors to seduce him was an interesting choice, but I'm not sure it's going to happen!

    I think that may happen too @patsygirl!

    Rachel seems to be playing an excellent game and I can't believe Stephen hasn't been rumbled yet!! He gets so flustered and red at the roundtable and just looks so guilty!

    I thought Harriet was a fantastic player though but I was a bit shocked to see her play the sacrificial lamb card

    I've not watched before but have been sitting in the living room while others watch it this time round, and it sounds quite interesting!!

    I've quite liked Jade right from the start, I'm not sure why, she seems a bit dark and quiet, I think she's a faithful if I remember right but she almost seems like the type of character that would make a traitor, which makes it interesting. I also empathise with her as she's the one getting singled out and picked on for being quiet. ๐Ÿค”

    Have you seen the episode with the dinner party? Jade shared some of her backstory which helped to explain why she's quite guarded etc.

    The whole dinner party was interesting tbh, though it could be triggering for some people so just a quick warning about that.

    Jade's so sweet. Watching this series really highlighted how quickly groups of people can become suspicious of anyone who is a bit quiet or different. It must have taken a lot of guts to open up like that at the dinner party.

    I've not noticed Faraaz much through the series but he seems to be pretty on it, he's got the traitors worried! I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out tonight!

    Really looking forward to tonights episode!

    I think the traitors may kill Faraaz but i'm not sure if that will make them looking really guilty?? Especially Rachel as Faraaz hit the nail on the head yesterday about her being a traitor

    I don't think Rachel can last much longer, or Stephen to be honest!! There seems like so much heat on both of them!

    I agree with what people say about Jade, I really like her and I think because she's guarded and watches and analyses, people assume she's suspicious or aloof! Something I relate to a lot!

  • Rosie_Scope

    Final tonight! And what a cliffhanger yesterday! Stephen might get there if he's on his own, but I'm not convinced Rachel would win if she survives.

    Will you all be watching live tonight?

    I've been invited for dinner at a neighbour's house so I'll have to avoid the internet entirely until I can catch up. I will do my best not to think about it, but it'll be difficult ๐Ÿ˜

  • OverlyAnxious

    Yes, I'll be watching tonight.๐Ÿ™‚

    I don't think it really matters which one gets banished, as I don't think either one will survive the final vote anyway. Though if Rachel does stay then she may cause a bit of carnage before getting voted outโ€ฆI wouldn't be at all surprised if she threw Stephen under the bus, even after his continued loyalty towards her.

    I'd like to hope that Jade, Faz and Jack trust each other enough to win togetherโ€ฆ But if Stephen does get into the final then he's also definitely a worthy winner!

    I'm not able to watch it live tonight so I will be avoiding social media!!

    I agree with you @OverlyAnxious, I wouldn't be suprised if Rachel did something to cause a bit of chaos, a bit like what happened with Wilf and the other final traiter in season 1 when he said "parting gift"!!!

    I hope she doesn't though as that does not seem fair at all.

    I would love to see Jade win as I feel like she has gone through a lot during the series

    I was actually really pleased with the outcome!! Won't say it here yet in case anyone hasn't seen but I was happy

    Yes, it was a great watch! ๐Ÿ™‚

    And once again proved I'm terrible at predicting other humans behaviour! ๐Ÿ˜…
