That episode gave me everything I needed and more

Fiona's surely going to have ruined her own game alongside Rachel's - what an unnecessary blow-up! Amazing TV though x

It felt like Rachel going round and saying Amanda's secret was suspicious enough.

But Fiona has just thrown more suspicion on herself as going off on one and calling out Rachel so publicly is out of character... she really handled it badly.

Its going to be interesting to see who's murdered and what happens in the Turret. Also here for the next day chaos 🤣

I'd also say Fiona has shown herself to be a loose cannon for the Traitors - so from Stephen's perspective, it would be easier to work with Rachel

What a seemingly bonkers move from Fiona there, and it genuinely seemed out of jealousy almost as though she couldn't believe Amanda would have told anyone other than herself. Or annoyance that Rachel had done something without running it past her first?

At this point if either of them get voted out you can see them just telling everyone that the other is one too.

I can't see how anyone would keep any of the current traitors in the final so surely the only way a traitor could possibly win now is if/when someone else is recruited.

I wasn't enjoying Fiona all that much in last night's episode but she really took the biscuit tonight That blow-up was amazing TV, but she reeks of jealous, bitter old woman that doesn't want to see a younger, confident, intelligent woman do well. Rachel sharing that information is really no different at all to everybody going into their cliques and speculating about who was on the banished or murdered person's radar? And from the editing so far we haven't even seen her say the names, only what Amanda told her about her job. I'm gonna need Rachel and Stephen to go in on Fiona big time to get rid x

Not really on board the Reece pity party either... everything that's happened to him in the game thus far has been a direct consequence of decisions he has made to very unnecessarily put himself and his game in jeopardy when otherwise he'd likely be going under the radar.

I’ve quite enjoyed Fiona so far but what was that? She has vastly overplayed her hand there and I think it will backfire on her rather than Rachel. Every traitor name will be out there tomorrow with none of them going under the radar and we’re not even half way.

So I’d be happier for a faithful win. Jessie is lovely, genuine and playing like every faithful should. She really would deserve the win if she gets there. Bless Reece as well, what a team player.

I’m glad to see Amanda go. She was a useless faithful and not so amazing detective after all. She kept mis hearing what everyone was saying-what Same had said, what Stephen said coming into breakfast. She borderline bullied Jade for almost no reason whatsoever. I actually couldn’t stand her.

I guess if Rachel had mentioned Amanda’s secret to Fiona and Stephen first, it could have helped what happened late, if she could have clued them in on her plan to throw suspicion and Jade and Sam. But now I think they’ll all just be looking at Rachel and Fiona.

Oh and Jessie saying night night to the knight. What a queen.

She basically just admitted on Uncloaked that she had no actual reason to suspect Jade.

See tbf, I think when you're in that with 20+ people, a few days in with no real evidence you're going to be relying on gut feeling and intuition a lot. Given her background/training she probably thinks her feelings towards someone have more merit to them as she'll maybe pick up on things others don't. How many people do we all encounter every day that we think "hmm I'm not sure about them, there's something off there", our brains just naturally pick up on traits that we maybe don't like in a person subconsciously - I can understand in the context of this game that you might then think that = traitor.

That kind of ties into the unconscious bias mentioned before. A lot of discriminatory ideology is rooted in negative stereotyping. While today people are more likely to challenge those ideas, there was a time not that long ago when they were treated as common “facts,” especially within older generations many of us were brought up around. People can absorb microaggressions and assumptions without even realising it. That doesn’t automatically make someone racist — it means there may be things to unlearn that they aren’t yet aware of. I think that can easily play a role in this game when people are deciding who they see as trustworthy. Everyone tends to favour certain types of people — whether based on gender, background, where they’re from, what they do, etc. We usually gel faster with people who feel familiar, and that can create a false sense of knowing them. “They can’t be a traitor because they’re like me and I’m faithful.” People often fear or distrust what they don’t understand.

Hmmm Charlotte Church on uncloaked tomorrow - might be a guest if Fiona is banished (Welsh connection)

Given Mark was a guest today when it went to chance with Amanda

Good shout!

She was so so jealous!

All I can say is that thank god Amanda wasn’t investigating me or she’d have me in the slammer because she doesn’t like the look of me.

Best faithfuls for me are Jessie and Farraz, they seem to be working things out better than the rest.

I've just seen episode 4 and I agree with the comments about Fiona. I loved her at first but the way she just dawdled through that scull challenge...

I'm starting to go off Racheal, I didn't particularly like the turret comment to Ross at the round table. It just seem arrogant from her in my view and would've been better coming from a faithful. I feel Stephen is treading water at the moment as a traitor but I'm interested to see how things go once the 'cage murder' is done.

Episode 5 will be available to watch later tonight for me.

The Traitors this year are useless. Stephen got himself in to a terrible position and while Rachel was playing a good game, she showed her hand too soon with that Amanda detective story. The game does funny things, so I can totally see why Fiona went off at her like that and called her out. She is also not wrong that Rachel would hage thrown Fiona under the bus. I think the issue here is it looks so bad for both of them, but all it takes is a few misdirections and the heat can be off them. Great TV though - don't think Traitors have gone after each other so early in the UK version at least.

My head is absolutely spinning after that episode. Bloody hell

I want a camp and explosive argument in turret now!

What an ending, that was brilliant. Fiona went completely off the handle. I do think Rachel played it from a selfish angle though. She could've easily revealed in and the turret to Stephen and Fiona and said it'll get the heat off all of us.

Very much looking forward to tomorrow's episode to see how this unfolds.

They're gonna need to do some serious recruiting if the traitors are going to have a chance of winning. At this point I'd want Harriet on my team, Reece might be a good recruitment shout as well but idk if he'd be able to hold his nerve.

Again, I'm just thrilled that the show is still serving iconic television at this point. I said before that I was worried there'd be a real Traitors fatigue with the dozens of variations around the world and the Celebrity Traitors being just a few months ago plus the fact that most reality shows do tend to peak around this point and then plummet into jump the shark/cartoon territory (Big Brother, X-Factor etc) but this series so far has been one of the best I've seen!

Fiona is an absolute mess and while she is producing great content and stirring up the drama I do feel quite annoyed by her and think she's ruining the game for not only Rachel and herself but also making it look too 'obvious' to the Faithful.

Sadly I suspect all the great TV candidates will be banished/murdered over the next week or so and we'll be left with a finale with James and Adam winning.

Oh I hope not!

Be interesting to see who gets murdered this evening and who all 3 can actually agree on. They might just go for Reece, given everyone seemed to think his reactions were genuine and the heat is off of him.

But then the field of who they can murder is very small, given Amanda has gone and Fiona and Stephen are in the mix too without shields.

DON’T YOU EVER THREATEN US LIKE THIS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last nights episode was crazy! I’m really starting to warm to Ellie though. I think she has potential to continuously flourish for the rest of the series and get to the final. Reece will get the heat off of him soon but will instantly be blackmailed/recruited.

I was not expecting to be a “TEAM SAM!” guy. I was fully rooting for him to be the biggest C**t of the series but instead the last ep or 2 I’ve found myself warming to him…

Fiona might be good TV but she’s quite irritating and not sure how I feel about Rachel tbh… I feel like I should be on her side more than I am.

Harriet being locked in on Rachel now after speaking to Fiona… the 2nd person she guns for ending up being a traitor?? That’s surely gonna arouse suspicion on her at some point and being “Traitor vs Traitor” etc..?

Great TV and it’s entertaining af… but I feel like the show is slowly going to move away from what made this show so special and start focusing on the drama more, in due course. I hope I’m wrong and we’ll see! For now though, I’m embracing it! I just hope the producers don’t double down on it even more for future series but I fear they will…
