I'd be here for Millie going too, she's done absolutely nothing

There are so many pointless contestants this season that bring nothing.

 

Weird behaviour them all making it out like it not possible Paul is a Traitor, especially when Diane said to Jaz 'so you're going to stop going for Paul now, yes? - good'.

 

What rude behaviour. I'm not in this weird Diane fan club where she is 'mother'.

 

Love that Jaz can see clearly who the Traitors are.

 

 

It is curious how so many of them fall into the trap of "I like this person - so they must be a faithful, they couldn't possibly be a traitor", as well as the opposite "this person's personality/attitude annoys me, this is traitor-like behaviour" and the recent emergence of "this person annoys me, but I don't think they're a traitor - however they're a bad/detrimental faithful". :drama:

 

I'm trying my best to not be too annoyed by the faithful players. Given that we as the viewing audience know who the traitors are from the word go, it's maybe too easy for us to feel like the faithful are being incredibly dumb to not see what we see. I suppose when you're a part of the game, it must be difficult to play as a faithful... when for the majority of the time it seems like they can only really go off of perceived personality changes as being potential clues. The biggest clue that landed in their laps was the dungeon situation/Meg being murdered over Paul thing, yet so many of them failed to see what was in front of them. It was so weird that many of them had this train of thought: "If Paul is murdered, it must be Meg who is a traitor" but didn't think "If Meg is murdered, it must be Paul who is a traitor". Like... follow through with your own logic, people! :lol: It's kind of fascinating how Paul has cast a spell over many of them (apart from King Jaz *.* ).

 

On balance it seems to me that this is an easier game to play if you're chosen to be a traitor (so long as you can maintain composure, a good poker face and seemingly be personable enough that almost everyone really likes you).

 

Also it's not like the faithful players were all super amazing in Series 1.

If "parting gift" had never been uttered by a scorned traitor, I guess Hannah wouldn't have ever doubted Wilf. Hannah fully trusted in Wilf until the final moments simply because she liked him.

(just putting this in spoiler tags, just in case there's anyone here who started with Series 2 but hasn't seen Series 1).

It makes it extra bizarre when the whole reason Wilf went as far as he did S1 was because of how popular he was, surely having seen that season and his tactics they'd look for similar things in potential Traitors this time around?

 

If I was going in there as a faithful my first thought would be they're going to have someone quite confident and outgoing as a traitor but also someone more quiet and reserved as that seems to have been the case for the past two seasons. It's easy to underestimate someone who's quiet which is obviously their thinking this time around to a degree but they're going about it the wrong way. Harry seems to have struck the right balance in a similar way to Amanda and the fact he's putting his all into the challenges as well will go in his favour so he's definitely the strongest of them atm I'd say. Miles adds nothing, he may as well be a faithful still.

Fingers crossed Paul goes tonight (or at least at some point this week)... Jaz needs to lead a revolution!

They're talking Miles or Paul...

 

I hope Paul goes, I can't help but think it will end up being Evie or someone that briefly gets mentioned and everyone jumps on them

That was one of the best hours of TV I've ever seen, so deliciously camp at every turn :cheeseblock:

 

Things looked bad for Paul but I worry Miles being exposed will look good for him. Harry is playing a blinder though, he's five steps ahead of Paul and Paul hasn't even realised!

Yeah I can see Harry cutting Paul sooner rather than later.

 

He’s already started planting the seeds. Also Harry convincing him to recruit will reflect badly on Paul as it will undo all his work being thought of as a Faithful for getting Miles

Is Paul the Messiah? I can't believe how he managed to turn the voting away from him, there isn't any logical explanation.

Plus, Miles exposed him with a great speech at the table, basically saying everything that the rules allow to point at Paul (avoiding to say they were both traitors)

yasss for more Evie, she's clearly got her head screwed on as well, I'm hoping for a Ross or Zack recruit, I'm so here for Harry's play also

Easily the best episode of the series - that task was genius. Also calling it here - it's being set up for Harry to throw Paul under the bus, probably when the Jaz & Paul conversation comes to light. My guess is they recruit Ross.

Loved this episode! I’m glad Miles put up a fight, we need Paul out!

 

I’m liking Harry as a traitor, hopefully he continues dropping comments about Paul.

Harry is playing an incredible game right now :cool: I just hope he manages to get Paul out asap (either with Zack as a traitor or continuing to plant more seeds about the traitor-on-traitor war in that round table). Jaz seems to have gone back into the shadows a bit though... what happened to his suspicions about Paul? All of it just needs to come to fruition quickly or I fear Paul's gonna end up with the upper hand at some point and ruining Harry's game.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying it but I found it so over hyped :lol: Maybe it's just because I can't get into the hype of Diane at all and find Harry unlikeable, I'm not sure what it is, but he just bothers me. I won't deny he's playing a good game though. The funeral thing was a massive lost opportunity for us the viewer to find out the same time who was dead too. I just still firmly believe it's not got anything on UK S1, Australia S1 or both of the US seasons, but I'm clearly in the minority

 

I found it all fairly predictable with Miles going and now I'm sure they'll recruit a dullard like Andrew with Harry throwing them both under the bus. I am team Faithful I gueeesss...it's nice to see people like Evie and Mollie emerge a bit more. I like Charlie too idk why. Paul gives me a visceral ick with his cockiness/facial expressions - I can't stand him 😭.

It feels odd that this set of Faithful feel more like sheep/ stupid than the first series. Their hit rate is actually higher.

 

In series 1 they didn't get their 2nd Traitor (Amanda) until Episode 10. Although I guess there were less Traitors last year... and Alex refused to be recruited

I can't get into the hype of Diane at all a

 

So shall we hold off on getting you the Diane from Traitors starter kit?

My GOD. That was the most satisfying hour of reality TV ever. I was on edge thinking they were gonna miss it AGAIN and go for Jaz, but THANK FUCK he's finally gone :cheer:

 

Harry needs to get right to the end now and win it all, so happy he managed to orchestrate Paul's downfall there. These faithfuls are so bad.

This week has delivered so far *.* was also concerned that the suspicion was shifting too much to Jaz by the end but so happy it was Paul's time to go, smug until the end :kink:

The way he tried to say that Harry learned how to be a good traitor by watching him, too… mate

Aww I was disappointed to see Paul go! He was smug, but I was very impressed how far he got :lol: that was mainly down to the uselessness of the Faithful, but still.
