I feel like the traitor group have almost played this too well. Everyone seems to know there will be 3 traitors (I assume this is a normal amount as never watched before this series) so it becomes less about whether people realise they are a traitor and more about whether they have successfully convinced others they are the most likely to be a faithful. Cat stands a chance but I think only if they banish or murder Nick, I can’t see anyone other than Joe believing in Cat enough

I dislike Kate mainly because she’s not very good at her job. Watching her try and hold Rhun ap Iorwerth to account earlier this year and him having to correct her on basic facts. I don’t think she’s much of a ‘journalist’.

Her being in Traitors has only intensified this dislike. She brings absolutely nothing to the point it’s quite clear she’s never watched the show before. And repeating everything anyone says in a loud and over the top voice not only makes her appear quite thick but also clear that she’s trying to get the most screen time.

Every other player left has brought something to the game. Not her.

Thank goodness Kate is gone but it’s sad about Celia.

I don’t mind a traitor or a faithful win now though as they’ve finally eliminated all the worst people.

Been rooting for Cat all series and I'm really hoping she and Alan can shift the narrative and sway David to voting Joe or Nick out first next week so then they're guaranteed the win. That said, I just don't see it happening and think it'll be a faithful win.

Aw I'm really beginning to love Joe Marler. I kind of want this plan of his to work out!

I'll be watching the final in one of my local gay bars with a few drinks, cruel that we have to wait a week for it.

I might not be able to watch the final when it airs due to being on a residential trip. I might be able to sneak a watch but it’s unlikely so I’ll have to tread carefully until the Friday night!

Thanks for the response. :)

I actually generally like her, but I've admittedly found her a bit annoying on this show (although not so bad in some of the recent episodes)

I like her too. I did find her a little annoying at the start, but I've really started to come round to her.

I think the traitors really messed up not murdering Nick instead of Lucy when they had the chance, that would've made it more difficult for Joe to trust other people. I think it's likely to be a faithful win unless they can really convince David.

I don't know how they haven't got Alan yet, that's twice he's messed up around them!

I’m indifferent to Kate - but I definitely don’t think she deserved to be in the final, she added very little to the show.

It’s going to be very tough for Cat and Alan now, I can’t see past a Nick and Joe final two. I do think both Nick and Joe have been good at deducing but I think the traitor task is a harder one to pull off - it’s a shame Jonathan didn’t go a couple of days earlier so that either Nick or Joe could be recruited and break the alliance somehow

Called this weeks ago, The Traitors played it almost too well. The Faithfuls can always play a bad game, but the game is all about getting down to the last 6-7 players and then it's all about who your allies are. By not catching another Traitor earlier, the group know there are at least two. Personally I think the Traitors were probably too obsessed with making good TV (Alan and Jonathan 100%) and chaos that they lost sight of the game a little.

First Alan killed Paloma, now he’s killed Celia.

Not happy Alan.

 

Kate getting banished was a bit of a surprise. Alan got absolutely no heat, though Joe is on to him.

 

Oh Alan, couldn’t stop himself from laughing. That might be his downfall.

It feels odd that this is basically going to come down to David as to if the Faithful or Traitors win... as he has been pretty awful most of the time. He over questions everything and is basically the only one remaining who is clueless to who the Traitors are - in fact he's worse than Kate in Faithful terms as he is continually led the charge against other Faithfuls, and didn't even vote for Jonathan to be banished.

I wouldn't put it past him siding with Cat and Alan, mainly as he has suspected Nick in the past and will probably be easily swayed to vote for Joe. I don't overly mind who wins... although I feel like Nick and Joe have done a heck of a lot of work - so it would be good to see them win. David doesn't really deserve to win, Cat and Alan have played a good game. Although Alan feels so obvious at this point - he might as well just be dressed in his cloak the whole time :D

Can't believe we have to wait a week

Kind of disagree about David, he's on the right path with saying why did people vote for him and then switch, but you are right in that ultimately it's going to come down to does David trust Joe and Nick.

I think David became too hung up on Stephen and thinking he was a Traitor that he blinded him a bit to everything else. Then he became similarly hung up on Kate.

Be interesting to see if Cat or Alan cross each other to try and win outright

I could see Cat crossing Alan in the final round table thinking she was safe. David really is the loose cannon here.

David I think is suffering from our knowledge of the game, his theories would be genius if they were pointing at the right people (could Jonathan and a traitor Joe M have built a strategy around both being loud and accusatory? unlikely but not wildly out there, confident Traitors might try and it and have to some extent in past series).

The Faithful have so little to go on, Joe & Nick have been very smart to pick up on what they can (as well as keeping their presumed knowledge of Cat & Alan under wraps until the final - excellent play) and are going into the final in a strong position, but you could imagine a counterfactual where one of them plays the same game as a Traitor, and then the other one would look very silly. Meanwhile David's very incisive with his reasoning but the lack of knowledge he'd otherwise expect is letting him easily overthink and therefore present theories that are wrong. I feel this started when he nearly got voted out of the game by presenting very logical theories as to why he wasn't a traitor, and got votes anyway, which has thrown off any assumptions he may have had and become very suspicious of everyone. The latter is quite logical in a game like this honestly. Interesting how he will have the deciding vote assuming things go as we expect.

Alan and Cat have been great as a Traitor team from an entertainment standpoint but I don't feel they've played the social side of being a Traitor that well actually, they've been nervous under fire, haven't dealt with threats and have left this situation where they have no potential Faithful allies to fool at the end. It's made for a good outcome either way as it helped make both an enjoyable Faithful team that deduces the clues they find well and an enjoyable Traitor team left, but the smart strategy is to keep in Faithfuls like Kate who confuse everything - and if Alan hadn't murdered say, Paloma, from opportunity, she would be such a boon to him at this stage.

Cat being the only female remaining could work against her. That is if the pay go on the assumption there is at least one female traitor.
