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

I felt bad for Minah. She was an idiot though for fully trusting Charlotte.

As for this whole recruit nonsense, it just takes away from the game entirely.
 
Charlotte thinking ten steps ahead never mind three.

Is Jake the dumbest person on earth?

It's clearly going to backfire though.

Leanne finds out that no kills happens. She says she told Charlotte, Jake and Frankie that she had the shield. Freddie will then realise (maybe not right away as he's a bit slow) that he's been stitched up and will immediately turn on Charlotte which will look incredibly weird. As soon as he's caught they'll all then think "why did he turn like that on Charlotte".
 
Voting off traitors serves absolutely no purpose in this game.
 
The recruit and murder rule is ridiculous. There should be some disadvantage to the traitors when one of them gets fecking mirdered.

I get they have to stretch it to 12 episodes but there must be another way.

I agree but it does still kind of work. It’s likely that this time there will only be one traitor in the end game, as Freddie is getting binned tomorrow 100% and there will be no recruitment.

Why would Leanne tell Freddie that though? It's more likely she wont say anything if at all until the roundtable when they have all decided to banish him
 
They've fecked over the faithful, and the whole show, to string out the series to the full 12 episodes.

Freddie will get voted tomorrow because of the fake failed murder, the only one to go tomorrow. He will probably vote charlotte and make it clear she's the last traitor. The rest of them will know there has to be another traitor in the final 5 in Friday's episode.

What should have happened is Charlotte murdering Francesca, but that would leave the final 5 to finish the game in tomorrow's episode, with Charlotte easily winning and being an impressive traitor. It's like they've fecked up the death rate of the series and a producer they've roped Charlotte into fixing it.
Why are you genuinely pissed off about this? :lol:
 
Also Freddie is an absolute idiot thinking Charlotte is going to keep him alive and win together.

A bit like Season 1 when the last recruited traitor knew he was only chosen as a scapegoat and threw the other traitor under the bus as a final gift. Probably why they changed the rules for the final.
 
I'd honestly be absolutely fuming if I was a faithful in this season. They've been utterly shafted twice just so there can be added 'drama'. There was no reason for their to be a recruitment and a murder, it just makes the entire show a mockery really.


I mean they have yet to work out the last people in for breakfast are always the people the traitors discussed murdering.

Jake had a proper false sense of his abilities because he clocked the worst one ever.

Man what a play by Charlotte! If she pulls this off she goes down as the GOAT.
 
Yeah, it felt like Charlotte was gonna coast there, so adding another traitor felt unnecessary, but as said, her strategy could backfire. Freddie has to be incredibly daft not to think with his name being thrown around that this won't be turned on him.

Are you kidding? Remember when that Irish chick got a recruitment and she declined? That day Leanne wouldn't shut up because she felt she'd been targetted and she had a shield. If no kill occurs because Freddie went for Leanne she will immediately yell about it with a "I got you!!" type line. She can't help it, it's just her character and nature.
 
I like that all of Joes theories are just based upon a narrative he has decided.

Save lives by day, kill by night.

There MUST be a male traitor.

Yeah but she might think that is what happened again

The twinkle in the eyes at the first finished me on him. He kept on about that for ages. I've never seen stupidity like the things these faithfuls have been coming out with.

I thought Mollie lost season would never be beaten for stupidity but this lot have managed it
 
I was a big fan of Minah, so find it a bit disappointing that Charlotte who hasn’t really contributed throughout the show is in this position now.
 
Finally a decent episode this season, or so I thought til came on here :lol:

Minah made the most sense to the group based on who’s left. She started to overplay her hand a tiny bit.

Charlotte is playing a blinder. She might be boring with everyone else but she’s devious in secret. Not putting yourself out there too much without fading in to the background at the same time is key.

Even the challenge actually had something about it this time when it’s usually a bore fest.

In fairness Minah was too trusting of Charlotte, and Charlotte, in retrospect was a dangerous pick just because she'd sailed through her bit of difficulty and seemed one of the most trusted people in there.

I liked Minah, but she did herself in, in the end. It also sounds, from some of the comments in the show about her, that she was perhaps too involved in things that were going on, and she couldn't help herself with the task on tonight's episode. I imagine that must be a difficult balance to strike, between inserting yourself too much but also not wanting to appear to be backseating too much

Charlotte was one of the last two in for breakfast - and it has happened before also.
 
Good episode tonight! Annoying Joe gone. Leanne getting pissed off. Traitor backstabbing. Charlotte coming into her own.

I liked Minah but Charlotte did the right thing voting her out. I think she should have recruited Alexander though. He’s more likely to vote to banish her at the round table than Freddie.
 
Am I the only who thinks Minah took liberties saying she was traitor from the start? Could be a small clue and can see others have jumped on it. Of course they have used it to blame the guy who is well spoken and has brain cells (which means he will be dead very soon).
 
Joe actually seems decent on uncloaked, so it might have been editing that made him come across like an absolute melt.

The other players absolutely loved him too
 
Super predictable Charlotte was made to recruit. Ensuring they have 12 episodes to fill has rendered finding Traitors almost pointless.

I liked Minah but now with hindsight, she wasn't really a great traitor was she. And I don't just mean since she recruited Charlotte either. For the first two thirds of the show, she didn't actually have to do much. When there's 15+ people, it's easier to blend in a little bit. Linda and Armani made themselves easy targets.

When it came down to it, and moves had to be made, she didn't and Charlotte did. Maybe she got a bit complacent having Linda as a traitor for so long.
 
What was the point catching minah? They just recruited one more anyway.

Guaranteed Freddie will now throw Charlotte under the bus once he finds out, and the faithful will clock on.
 
Yeah I think she thinks she’s playing it well but surely it will become super obvious

Rules definitely need looking at as it’s pretty much pointless catching a traitor if you’re a faithful, unless you know you’re likely to be recruited.
The only way I can think is if she manages to convince Freddie she did it to try pin it on Alexander but that's a stretch after her hiding it from him.
 
Get the impression Freddie is way too naive to realise Charlotte is going to throw him under the bus. But maybe they’re editing out how he really feels to make it a surprise if he goes for her.

Could be a faithful win if that happens because I can’t imagine them not punting Freddie out.
 
Jesus this show annoys me. I know it's called The Traitors but it's so obvious they want a traitors win every time with how much they can recruit. Makes the whole game pointless and there should be proper plans in place if all traitors die early.

What I think they should do is double the prize, if all traitors are voted out every faithful remaining gets an equal share of half the money won to that point. Then depending on how many are left a new traitor or two gets picked again like in the first episode. Then play on with the remainder of the money up for grabs.

They could also just allow for an all faithful final and stop the silly forced recruitment. Don't know why traitors have to be in there. The faithful would have no idea if there are any left and it'd still be good to watch.
