I don't think they needed to recruit. You want a lame duck nearer the end that you can throw under the bus, but for now they're doing fine. And with one of them holding the shield they could have easily passed it off as Minah being targeted if their kill fails.

Kas went out in style! Pure sarcasm and made them stupid idiots look like right dummy’s.
I was so so disappointed with them reintroducing the train people. I thought they were going to do something new with them like have them part of it somehow or they've been watching all along or something.
But nah. Just walked into the castle after a pointless mission. Really poor creativity.
The thing that annoys is when the people got off the train, we're expected to believe that they genuinely believe they are leaving the competition.
Then we had to believe that the contestants in the house were genuinely shocked when they saw them again.
It's all been done before.
There's a lot of suspending belief for a reality show.
Awful bunch of contestants too, it's like Hollyoaks does Traitors. Get some interesting people in there.

I think they should have recruited Fassbender, the new guy.
Joe is a prick
I think they should have made him a Traitor
Proper wanker. A few of the guys are to be fair.
Kas is better off out of there
How could they reintroduce them if they had been watching all along though?
Kas is a legend, was gutted to see him go. Proper sucks that they all ostracised him and didn’t even let him get his theories out there.
I am sick to death of all the bloody weeping and wailing it's not love island
Felt sorry for Kaz served them right they realised they'd made a huge error yet I'm sure they won't learn from it! Almost got to the point of bullying and you could tell he was sick of it and had given up a bit
Dan is an interesting one, bit of a lone wolf, trouble is as others have said its the dumb sheep who are dragged to the final because you know "100% faithful couldn't possibly be a traitor" and glue themselves to one of the traitors who they think couldn't possibly be one
I'd do what others have said and quietly stay under the radar, act a bit sheepie and thick while quietly trying to work out the traitors and allying with one before hopefully being able to reveal i have a brain in the final. Although I'd rather be a traitor
If I'm Minah I'd want a strong fellow traitor to recruit, as I think Linda needs to go under the bus she's so obvious and could drag her down with her if she's not careful so I'd want to on board someone then work with them to get her under the bus
I'd recruit Fazia. She's got a good alliance going already from the train, so I think she will go under the radar a bit, although maybe I'd want to wait til the next recruitment just to get a sense of what she's like and if she's a bus thrower.
Leanne could be an interesting recruit, or Leon who seems to be so under the radar we barely see him
Tyler and Alexander I think will put you under the bus, I definitely wouldn't choose either

And then Fozia comes in with no knowledge and sticks the knife in - what was that all about.
If there was so heat on Kas he would have been murdered fast by the traitors anyway because he was a smart guy, someone like him will never win. At this point I’m surprised people like him actually tell them their profession. Leanne did the smart thing by not saying she was in the army.
The way he was treated by wankers like Joe was shocking, though. Glad he got the last laugh at the end.

Huh? She defended him and asked him to get his point across. She saw he wasn’t being treated fairly.
I dunno I'm just disappointed with it
Joe has to be the biggest wanker to ever appear on the show
Joe is an utter knob. His little hissy fit at the end of the roundtable...he's so, so punchable. Smug bastard.
They did Kas dirty. Went after him for multiple days without reason. Idiots.

Oh, maybe I misinterpreted that whole thing (I was making a cup of tea at the time). Didn't she quite aggressively tell him that he should be defending himself and that he looks fed up, and by saying so implying that he was suspicious?
Edit: ok yeah I rewatched it quickly, I misheard what was going on
I thought she defended him too!
I think they made a mistake in recruiting. The suspicion seems to have fallen off of Linda - and Minah is flying way under the radar.
They should have murdered and tried to break up some of the cliques.
The two rejoiners will have suspicion over them, and I don’t know why they considered Freddie. Still think he might be banished next round table - and I feel like the only thing he is looking forward to is being able to tell everyone he is faithful when he goes!
The only thing that could change my thinking is if the faithful realise they have been way off the mark with how they are suspecting people, and decide to look for someone ‘not so obvious’….which might mean Minah’s name comes up.
Joe is such a twat. 
I know it's still fairly early days, but probably the series I've enjoyed the least so far. Extremely bland cast list so I'm not rooting for anyone in particular, and not enough heat on the Traitors to make the round table discussions more gripping.
Not an issue exclusive to this season, but there doesn't feel enough of an incentive to find a traitor, particularly at this stage of the game. Faithful's must know too the game will never end prematurely by catching all the traitors as the BBC have 12 eps to fill. As a faithful, you might as well remain in survival mode and just vote off whoever suspicion falls upon and then have a stab in the final.

Kas's farewell dig at Joe was glorious. Odious little knob that Joe is.
Honestly, I wish they put a serial killer role in this show. It would be such a great twist.
That eye roll from Dan.
Linda's line was iconic. "You don't have to be a sailor to know you have to tie a rope. Sorry!" Hahaha. The delivery was excellent.
Imagine the drama when two people are murdered. The fallout from the Traitors would be hilarious.
Why are the traitors even recruiting? There's no heat on them at all why not just murder? Unless the producers basically force them it seems like a really idiotic move at this stage
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the producers tell them what to do. It's how TV works.
Felt bad for Kas. Joe is a twat. Linda is useless.
Christ, crack a smile mate.
Linda is so useless. I dunno if it’s editing but it’s like, Minah comes up with a theory and Linda is like oh yeaaaah, and then Minah thinks through a counter argument and Linda is like oh yeaaah. Madness.
I like Minah. Thought she was doing great so far. But the crying was bizarre. And then these recruit choices … I mean, what? Makes no sense whatsoever. Madness too.
Kas will be received like a hero to people who actually know him in real life. Fair play to him, seems like he was excluded and that must have been tough, but he kept his head high and he was genuine I felt. And absolutely loved the little dig at Joe.
Speaking of Joe, he is such a prick. I said last week to the other half that watch, when they do get Kas, that guy won’t eat his words. And turns out I was right.
This recruit choice has absolutely killed the vibes though. It’s barbarically awful.

That would be such a great role in this!
But obvious why they don’t. More death means shorter series. Same reason they have this recruit system.
Agreed. I thought it was the best first season of any version.
You could get away with it by having slightly more people at the start and then having the producers script it like they've done for every season anyway.
They could implement it if they wanted for sure.
Did you watch the New Zealand one?
Didn't like the fact that there wasn't a single original traitor come the end.
Not yet - is it good?
Both Aus seasons are good for different reasons, shame it got cancelled.
I haven't watched yet. It's on iPlayer will give it a watch after the UK one finishes I think
