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

Linda is the most obvious traitor ever. Her facial expressions are terrible and give her away constantly and the fake crying was the cherry on the cake. How they've still not voted her out is amazing. If anyone but Jake was leading the charge she'd be gone.

Didn't a traitor put themselves forward in a game last year, when they got locked in a prison or something? Though from what I recall it backfired.

2 of them did - Paul the fool and that woman who has been overtaken by Linda as the dumbest traitor of all time

Ash. I think she was under suspicion and did it to make everyone think she wasn't a traitor as well :lol:
 
Traitors murder the weakest faithful in the game, terrible decision. Linda goes and draws all the attention at breakfast with crocodile tears.

You think they'll get punished for it but the faithful as a group are otherworldly levels of thick. :lol:

Whether intentional or not, Minah's played it right by helping get Dan out as he was starting to suspect her.

Frankie didn't think Dan was traitor but didn't bother to offer that viewpoint when the tide was turning against him. Honestly, I don't think these folks understand the game they're playing.

Leon is a confident fellow but obviously not very smart. Turning on his mate for no reason at all was one thing, but I found myself questioning whether he appreciated the actual point of the card game. Might have been the fear, but that was terrible.

I rate Alexander a lot. And if I were a traitor, I'm getting him out of there fast

If I'm a traitor, I'm inviting Alexander or Jake to join us.

I see the thinking but my view would be that getting a really good player on board as a traitor doesn't necessarily protect you and there's always the risk that they'll throw you under the bus.

I don't think it'd be too hard for Minah to win out if Alexander (as a recruited traitor) was to turn on her. Obviously we know they both came in as faithful, but what are the odds that one of the added players came in as a traitor. I'd be thinking that if I were in the game and I think it'd be a useful argument to have lined up. I'm surprised it hasn't really come up seriously.
 
I'm not sure if I'm giving the Faithfuls too much credit here, but I feel like some of them, at least, full well know what they're doing in whittling away at their Faithful counterparts. I do think a big issue with the show is there's very little incentive to find Traitors until the end, so you might as well jump on bandwagons to stay alive. It's not like they can articulate this either as it wouldn't be a good look for the show, so they'll just feign disbelief each time they vote out one of their own. Still entertaining though.
 
Feel bad for Dan, quite liked him.
When you consider the spurious "evidence" some have been voted out for, from night 1 they had the best evidence for anybody being a traitor with Linda's head turn, but she's still there.
Really winds me up. I know they can't show us everything, so maybe it did happen, but when Alexander asked what Linda was like, why didn't they tell him about that?

Faithful always look like idiots on the show, I don't get it.

Fair, however, due to the charged atmosphere of the game and how easily things can swing, it feels wise to reduce the number of gambles one takes to a minimum and keep things simple.

Like you I'm surprised there's not a bigger target on the backs of the new additions. It's probably because the earlier faithfuls are still too caught up in their own emotional drama.

If Fozia survives the card game, there could be.

The mad thing is that so many of the faithfuls were baffled when she gets revealed as a traitor on Uncloaked! It’s so hard to know if editing makes her look more obvious than she is?

It’s just gas how often she does something that makes it so obvious, then her name comes up, but then they all jump all over someone else instead with way less evidence.

Minah basically saved Linda last night too by going in so hard on the Dan thing, she clearly seems to see her as an asset which is interesting as from the outside she looks like such a liability. But I guess she just agrees with everything Minah proposes which is why she sees her as so useful.
 
The fact that they allowed Linda to avoid being banished when she is clearly a traitor and they got rid of Dan, an obvious faithful. These people are the dumbest motherfeckers i've ever seen play a game. All because he played the game for a shield exactly how he was supposed to, the absolute fecking moronic cnuts. These people are really pissing me off.

Same here, it's what pissed me off in series 2 of one of the other international series you think they're finally onto someone then they do a complete flip at the table because of one suggestion and the sheep mentality takes over

Trouble is if you're smart you're generally murdered because you're a threat, so you're left with sheepie faithful getting dragged to the final, see Hannah, Meryl and Mollie, all of whom I ended up wanting to shake

It would have been interesting to see what Dan did if he stayed as you got the fleeting glimpse the penny had maybe started to drop when he said about maybe not being murdered due to being close to a traitor (if people had seen previous series that's exactly how faithful have got to the final in the last 2 series). It would be interesting to see how Minah handled suspicions on her, she's played a very good game so far BUT has largely been unchallenged

She nearly made a big mistake imo by being petty about Dan not admitting to gunging her and wanting revenge on him she's lucky the others all completely flipped to him, it was a chance to put Linda under the bus, unless she's using her as cannon fodder

Alexander looks to be quietly working things out, sure they will murder him soon, don't think I'd recruit him I think he'd put you under a bus. He looked terrified in the card game but think it's because he was flicking between each of the other faces trying to read them

I think they're all far too emotional this year, I get its intense but they all seem to be basing everything off emotion rather than taking the time to logically think through what has happened. Way too many tears and dramatic hand waving. Fozia and Alexander don't look to be like that so hoping they can stay in.

Cos I don't care who really wins and that all these banishments are hilarious. It's just fun to watch Linda bumbling her way through

Only last season I actively didn't want someone to win and that was Paul. He was so annoyingly cocky when he wasn't really that good a traitor. He didn't really do anything, no masterstroke moves etc. Minah this year has played a much better game and turned a couple round tables without fingers being pointed at her

It's weird because she plays the day thing well but is poor up in the traitor's room.
 
At this point I definitely want Minah to win and to somehow take Linda all the way with her.
If she can do that then it works perfectly for her. Any recruitment at this point is a risk, you're not going to have that level of trust with whoever it is. It makes sense to try and keep that weaker traitor with you as long as possible knowing they aren't going to throw you under the bus. The others won't be confident enough in Linda to keep her there at the end either so Minah would get all the money.

That sort of ending could be madness with the new rules.

I wonder if Minah knows that Linda will be an easy target at some point and will have someone to point a finger at away from herself as a traitor.
 
Omg, Linda's Shakespearean performance at the breakfast table.

"Got to look sad. Must turn on the waterworks."

*Cut to breakfast*

"Oooh Livi, good god, huhuhuhuhuhu."

*Everyone stares*

Glorious. She's up there with Brando and Bergman.
 
Anybody notice yet again Linda voted for someone who accused her of being a traitor? Fozia this time. Must be the 5th time she's done that :lol:

Liv last night on uncloaked "I think they murdered me because they feel I'm a threat to them" oh honey you were the most clueless of them all! and murdering you was actually a bad choice

Yeah Paul was a pain - and he was on Uncloaked last night acting as though he was the authority on optimal traitor behaviour.

It’s crazy how all momentum towards Linda just dies and everyone shifts towards an obvious faithful for no reason. She has to go in the next episode.

she’s not long for this world, which is good for Minho.

I think we will end next week with a diff traitor or 2 than the ones we have. I see Michu getting offed when someone offers a ‘change of tactic theory’, and says “why not Minho?”.

That's a new one.

It’s a while since first two seasons but I don’t remember a group who seem so determined to find ways to feck it up come vote time… despite being seemingly close just hours before. “It’s Linda, all agreed. Oh wait, Tyler smiled weirdly, let’s change to him” :rolleyes:

I like Minah, grown on me. I wonder if Alexander might be the one to work her out.

There's certainly been no series where the Traitors don't start to get greedy and want all the money for themselves. It would probably be easy for Minah to turn on Linda and convince others to vote her off.
 
Just binge watched the 3 episodes from this week this morning, my thoughts on each one:

Maia murdered and personally thought it was going to be Charlotte but I can understand the Traitors’ narrative to send Maia packing shortly after her sister. It puts Freddie firmly into the firing line. Onto the mission and that’s a massive curveball I never seen Claudia unveiling that only two of the rail folk will be joining the game rather than all 3 which is what I had predicted beforehand. Alexander & Fozia made valid speeches to the rest of the players on why they should be chosen but Jack’s was just simply “I’m a gardener from Yorkshire that lives next to the seaside” :lol: . Fozia & Alexander chosen although I was wanting it to be Jack as he came across as someone that would be a good laugh in this game. I do feel sorry for Kas as I do think he is being ostracised by everyone and I’m glad Fozia spoke up for him at the round table. Unfortunately it’s he who was banished & the expected shock & general morale of the rest of the group dropped like a stone as they knew they royally fecked up big time when he unveiled to everyone that they eliminated a faithful. Loved his wee sly dig at Joe there before he exited. Traitors opting to seduce rather than murder seemed like a decision to me that felt wrong as they should have went for murder. Fozia would be a very good choice but I’ve got a feeling they may select either Freddie or Anna knowing that they are massively in the firing line and to potentially eliminate them as a Traitor will give them a massive buzz after what transpired after eliminating Kas. Although having said that, it is a risky move in itself as they could be exposed if the backstabbing doesn’t go to plan.

So the Traitors have tried to seduce Anna and rightly she declined as she knew that she would be the scapegoat and be thrown under the bus. Don’t make the same big mistake Ross made in series 2. With no murder or a successful traitor’s seduction, the breakfast gathering was not much to be on the edge of your seat for other than everyone just being very surprised to see everybody else walking into the breakfast room. A few suspicions thrown here and there but that’s just part of the game. Anna should have spoken up there and then of the offer she was made just to divert the attention from her. The mission itself looked a laugh with the clown popping out of the incorrect chosen door. Alexander & Francesca set the groundwork for what doors to choose early and Leanne & Leon finished it off and won the shields. It became a doddle for the pairs that followed thereafter knowing already which doors to choose. A few arguments at dinner time and people getting rubbed up the wrong way made for quite a very intriguing round table. Tyler voted out and I think he was gobsmacked that two of those 3 above mentioned players, Leanne & Leon, went straight for him from the off which absolutely blindsided him. He thought his place in the game was as safe as it could ever be. Traitors opting to murder rather than recruit is the better option after getting their seduction offer rejected previously and it would have got even more suspicious seeing everyone turning up for breakfast the next morning yet again, especially even more so when they know the two people that have the shields. Out of the 3 of Anna, Livi & Fozia, I think it’s got to be Fozia as she looks like she could be a very dangerous player to keep in their and to get her eliminated before she starts planting seeds here and there as she looks like someone that will be listened too amongst the remaining faithfuls.

So the traitors decided to eliminate Livi. For me I think it’s a bad call by the traitors. I’d have opted for Fozia as she seems out of the three potential murder candidates to sniff out a traitor plus already has her early suspicions on Linda without haven’t really shared it with the rest of the group. Livi only solely was gunning after Freddie & no one else. Should have kept her in it to keep her pushing relentlessly towards that incorrect narrative. Some acting from Linda at the breakfast table with the false tears :lol: . Dearie me, if she survives another day then these faithfuls might as well pack it in & go home empty handed. Onto the mission, I think it gave a big spoiler to the round table that Linda is finally a goner as majority kept guessing it was her that decided for them to be gunged. I’d be stunned if she isn’t banished later at the round table. Dan played the mission really well and deservedly got his shield. Simply have to put all friendships to one side and select the players that would never guess you. Linda even got one too :lol: . Onto the round table and personally there’s a part of me that understands why Francesca & Minah are pissed off at Dan and a part of that isn’t. After the mission, he could have pulled both of them to the side and told them why he didn’t tell the truth there & then simply because he wanted to win the shield at the mission. But I don’t understand either of their outbursts towards him for not owning up on the spot there & then that he gunged them during the mission. Why would he do that there and then & lose his shield. It’s a cut throat game and you need to look after yourself first before looking after others. That spat was the only interesting part of the round table as they all had a collective giggle towards the end asking Lisa to ask God for some guidance. Dan voted out and honestly literally stunned how on Earth Linda is still in this game. She’s been a big suspect since day 1 and is flying through this game. Faithfuls should just get on that train and head back home now as a traitor banishment was there to be done. The first face to face murder of the series and with Linda by your side, I thought both her & Minah were going to feck it up big time. Luckily they didn’t but there was a part of me hoping to see Fozia walking into the bar and seeing Linda writing the names on the gravestones on that portrait in the the bar which would have been comical :lol: . Onto the death match. Anna guessed it well and held a good poker face in round 1 to survive. Round 2 and Leon literally gave it away on what the life card was when he questioned Fozia on her card selection which let Alexander literally win that round. Need to now wait another 5 days for the deciding round :annoyed:

Found NZ season 2 online. 3 episodes in and it's all a bit crazy.
 
I was wondering about that painting too. Are they going to remove it, or leave it there and see if any faithfuls spot the clue.

Hope Claudia points it out in some way. Reality is they won’t find it any other way.
 
One of my pet peeves during the roundtables is when someone is accusing another of being a traitor and they say 'I'm gonna vote for you, but I hope I'm wrong'. I get that it's a figure of speech but it's stupid as feck and I wish they'd stop :lol:

I don't think it's as bad as when they're telling each other they love them after knowing them for 2 days.
