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

Whenever I watch it baffles me a little as it’s like the faithfuls have never seen this show before.

Traitors are good at appearing faithful because they are playing the game with perfect information. They should know this by now.

If someone is confidently outspoken when it comes to accusing people of being a traitor… they are probably a faithful. Armani was an exception in many ways because she was such a bad Traitor.

When it comes to banishment, Traitors tend to be a bit more non-commital and passive and will go with the majority… including turning on their own. And Traitors will rarely get defensive of their fellow Traitors.

Freddie going down as one of the best traitors of all time, little speech and everyone turns on a nailed on faithful, including his own group who had a hissy fit over being called a group.

Have to give him his dues for addressing the 'clique' directly. Didn't think he had it in him after all his tears the previous day.

As much as I liked Kas, he needed to try something similar, instead of just meekly accepting his fate.

Leanne getting annoyed with Freddie about it, after being mad at Tyler the previous night for not voting the same way as this "not a group" group

I sympathise with kas. Whether or not he was, the show was edited to make it seem he was being alienated by the rest of the group, was accused of being a traitor because of a cringe toast, a twinkle in his eye and his profession. Getting that everyday I imagine, he was tired and sick of it all and probably wanted to leave.

Think freddie is feeling the same.

You can't control it, but on the evidence so far, you should expect it.

And it would have been great information for the team, but it's not really a team game. Faithful or not, it's in your interest to get rid of players. You just need to make sure you're not in the firing line.

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.

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.

Omfg the tears are doing my bloody head in!!


I think this lot are too young on average


I'm struggling to warm to any of them tbh

Jake seems fairly switched on but they'll probably murder him as he's only given his suspicions to Linda. Fozia also seems fairly switched on but why didn't she speak at the table

Lisa reacted so badly to the suspicions, I'd have banished her not Tyler as she got so defensive then gave up

Lisa's big reveal has just made herself look even more suspicious!!

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]
