Amanda made a comment about James having a difficult night previously which is why she didn't want to take his shield but half the cast was up for murder, she wouldn't have known James was on the shortlist unless she was the secret traitor so I'm suspicious of her

I'm convinced Hugo and Harriet are either siblings or married and it seems like Ella and Ross are a couple based on people snooping their Instagrams where they appear to have been to the same hotel on holiday at the same time and have liked posts on LinkedIn etc

I always forget their names at the start with a large cast, but you're right - my money is on Harriet as the secret traitor. I do think whoever it is is female and the shot they use of them is just an actor (or Ed Gamble).

Wonder what the family tree significance is? Wonder if later down the line that might come in to play during a task ala the board last year.

I'm trying to remember, what was the board last year?

Second episode was great, though I'm already not liking Sam much at all and Roxy is starting to annoy me.

I've changed my mind on Ross as the secret traitor. I'm going to go with either Harriet or Ellie.

The writer - It'd be just like writing a novel, who gets killed, how they were framed.

The psychologist - She'd be good at reading people I feel.

I love it when the British public go detective on everyone, nothing is safe

Honestly it's impressive, someone compared the handwriting on the shortlist note against a shopping list Harriet had posted on her Instagram 😂😂 it was quite similar tbf

He could’ve just told her, but I too am suspicious of Amanda.

Anyone: "breathes"

James: They're a traitor!

Take a bow Harriet and Fiona, what a round table

I absolutely would be recruiting Harriet after that if she's not already the secret traitor, her, Amanda and Fiona are my favourites at the moment.

I'm still not convinced who the secret traitor is but I'm still thinking Harriet or Fiona. If it's not a woman then potentially Sam but assuming the person we're seeing in the red cloak is the actual secret traitor then it does seem to be quite a tall man so maybe it is Ross, I don't know 😅

The Amanda & Jade feud seems very petty. 😄

I knew Hugo had a target on his back after that breakfast but I didn't think they'd actually go for him.

I also think the whole fingerprinting thing is difficult for them to do without the heat ending up on them.

That was a great round table! Lowkey hoping the faithful get complacent after an early win though because I can't have Rachel or Stephen going anywhere

I guess they can edit it however they want, but going on the assumption they wouldn't have had the traitors do that mission quite so early on had Hugo not been banished I think it's too obvious for it to be Sam after that wink-wink-nudge-nudge talking head from him.

That was a round table for the ages. I love how into it a lot of them are, it’s refreshing after watching several of Kate Garroway saying ‘I just don’t know!’ recently.

Hugo was way too theatrical to go far. Harriet had so much to go with using her own profession against him but regardless he attracted too much attention.

The edit seems to want us to suspect Amanda, Fiona or Ellie for the secret traitor and I admit I was swaying towards Fiona today. She’s playing a decent game and regardless she’s more switched on than she’s allowing the other players to realise.

With those seeming a little obvious, I’m thinking Harriet or Roxy for the secret traitor.

Stephen is going to bomb as soon as there's more heat on him though, he went into complete panic mode when he realised he was under suspicion for being in the same room as Ben, Rachel is definitely the backbone of the traitors but we'll see if that's still the case next week when hopefully we have another strong woman in the turret

What an episode, what a round table. I loved it, absolutely fantastic!

A bit of a shame that the secret traitor is being revealed so early, but I'm guessing they weren't expecting Hugo to be banished this ealy.

I just discovered Stephen is actually the younger brother of somebody I worked with about a decade ago. Oh my goodness, what a small world!

I'm so glad Hugo is out he was insufferable honestly. Agreed with Lindsey that Stephen won't last too long I'd imagine really - he's not doing well under pressure and I think it will come back to bite him.

Was really impressed with both Harriet and Fiona!

I've actually liked everyone this year (even Hugo), it's a very strong cast! Whereas last year at least had Leanne and Joe off the top of my head who regularly got under my skin!

I'm impressed with how quickly he became unstuck with his performance at the breakfast table though I thought by the first episode he might actually do well, without actually being any match for the other two (known) Traitors.

Agreed, I think they’ve all been pretty likeable. Sam is a tad arrogant but not really that bad. When Hugo was chosen as a traitor I just knew he wouldn’t last long because he relished it so much and was very theatrical. Very similar to Amani last year. But as a person he was likeable enough.

Last year was sprinkled with some of the most unlikeable characters. The fact that one of them even won made it worse. This year, they do seem to be getting into the nature of it so far rather than just being there for their tv moment.

I pretty much like them all too as people and think the majority of them are bringing something different to each other which is quite a difficult thing to achieve. I do get the impression that the team who produce and organise this show really are experts at their craft as both this group and the celebrity one were really strong (I didn't watch it before then).

I love the creativity with some of the tasks too. The art one yesterday was a basic idea but they made it so much better by getting them to act it out for the photos, really inventive!

I thought it was only a matter of time that the other traitors would turn on Hugo but definitely wasn't expecting him to be out by episode 3.
