You don't get far without the team. There is a very large element of being part of a team despite the obvious need for self-interest.
Television The Traitors (BBC) | Series 3 now airing. If you watch episodes on the iPlayer that haven't aired on the BBC television, put discussion in spoilers

Yeah, you need people to have your back, because ultimately when it comes down to the end you need to convince another faithful that you're true and someone else is the traitor. But it's more important to not stand out for ANY reason. Saying you've rejected a recruitment would raise suspicions.
And what I mean about it not being a team game is, ultimately, if it's not you winning, who really cares if it's traitors or faithfuls at the end.
Why give up information that helps the other faithfuls if by doing so you're putting your neck on the line.
Same with if you work it exactly who a traitor is. Don't blab to the group. Keep quiet until nearer the end when you feel more confident about who you can trust.
Watching the American version, it cemented my theory that the guy who didn't get released from the cage was a traitor, but they choose not to show it because it's now irrelevant.
Agreed. I'm still enjoying it because it's the traitors, but nowhere near as much as season 2 - because I liked a lot of the players for that season.
The faithful are so clueless this year. That decision last night was one of the biggest shockers we’ve seen. It’s hilarious that one of them was given tangible evidence that Linda was a traitor within 5 seconds of her being picked and nobody else went with it, and she’s still there. [/SPOILERS]
Linda is fecking garbage. Amazed she’s gone under the radar since Jake called her out in the first episode.
Most of them are, she's playing a blinder.
Love how she came in later to perhaps give a balanced advocate's perspective to Freddie's "accusation"!
In effect erasing any chance of Freddie or anyone else in the car getting suspicious of foul play.
It was your accusation you treacherous little genius of a Scouser!
I called it from before they got on the train on the platform. Just had a really good feeling about her. I hope I'm right!
Just imagine if they got all 3 traitors out in the first 3 episodes. The series would end in one week and they'd win practically nothing
They're useless, just going / picking who everyone else does. Linda's been consistently weird and somehow only one person has clocked on who has been completely ignored. Meanwhile the faithful are just coming up with all sorts of nonsense and aren't anywhere near finding another traitor. They'll probably banish Freddie and Anna the next two episodes.
Anna was already under suspicion, she has no idea how the day would turn out and having not told them at that point it becomes much more difficult to convince people it actually happened.
The only reason not to say anything is to reduce your chances of being slaughtered, but she let's Charlotte know just before they leave for the night meaning that information could easily get out.
I don't think I've seen many people over the series that haven't cared about their team winning even when they know they're not allowed going to make it. It's incredibly difficult to play the game with the mindset you're describing, especially as a faithful. There would be such a limited amount of information for the each member of the group in a game that relies so much on it.
It's not that I'm in disagreement with the idea of trying to keep yourself out if the firing line of the traitors or faithful btw, I just think the idea ignores the reality of how the game plays out.

Is this the dumbest group of people ever assembled in a season?
I've watched most seasons across the different countries, and these are the worst Faithfuls ever.

Quite simply yes overall.
What time is the next episode it is 8pm?
I have a feeling the good traitor is going far plus soldier lady might get wise to her later on.
What if they refused to be recruited?
Usually it's an ultimatum at that point, so the option is join or die. No idea what happens if they still refuse. To my knowledge it hasn't happened in any season yet.
probably another one will be blackmailed?
I feel like Aus season 2 may have been the worst set of faithfuls.
They are pretty much on a hiding to nothing from the viewer though.
Possibly, but to what end? What if the second person also declines. I don't think we'll ever be in a situation to find out.
That season at least had a couple of people that had a clue what was going on. Yeah, they got snuffed by the majority, but so far this season I don't think anyone has shown any genuine deductive skills.
Livi gone then.
Linda’s obviously fake tears.

she is terrible Linda is gasI really wish that the murdered contestants are then told who the traitors are to see their reactions.
These people are so shit it will only take one theory on the round table to let her off
But I think she's out tonight with another recruitment but who knows?

If they don’t vote Linda out tonight.

Nice bit of theatre... More like a pantomime.
They are, but you have to watch it on traitor's uncloaked on bbc2
That Scottish guy has gone under the radar a bit for me.
Can't believe a vicar lied.
FFS Linda is the luckiest traitor ever.
Linda: "I think I avoided suspicion"
Everyone else: "That was really suspicious from Linda"
Everyone else: "That was really suspicious from Linda"
That’s how you do tears.
What the hell was with that mission?
If it's secret who marked you, what's the point in the marked person asking who did it, and then the people who did it are allowed to lie?
Should have just been a case of saying a name. Not fecking asking. Really really broken game.
