The fact we're 5 episodes in and they've now had their THIRD recruitment (5 Traitors in total) is ridiculous and really exposes how unfair the game is for the Faithful.

I can understand the need to recruit if you get down to 1 Traitor but if there's still 2 why do they get the option? What's even the point in eliminating Traitors?

Yeah, they could've actually just left Richard (and to a certain extent Hannah) in the game.

Knowing they are 100% Traitors, and stopping them from being able to recruit

So many recruitments. Claudia really wasn't good at picking the traitors out nor it seems are the traitors good at recruiting either. I can only see a faithful winning this season as this point.

You can't help but wonder if he's going to get a shock when he gets out of the castle and finds out that the traitors haven't actually been really murdering all those celebrities!

"But Claudia told us they were dead!"

It's not real, Ross.

Just like EastEnders isn't.

Despite Kenny probably being a good pick it kind of feels like Maya’s just choosing her mates to come up to the turret for a good time at this point, instead of actually having the foresight and looking at the bigger picture of how they can actually get to the end. We all know James would much rather be a faithful so he’s just going to go along with what Maya thinks at this point and go into survival mode when he needs to.

Hannah has been such a joy to watch so sad to see her go but that was inevitable 💔

The format itself has kind of been flawed from the beginning. Doesn't change people's enjoyment of it (obviously) but because it's not a structured format like Apprentice or Bake Off, it does result in things like that.

Getting a traitor out is a boost of confidence for the Faithful. They know full well there’ll be recruiting. You need to have some traitors still in the game for it to not feel completely farcical. Wouldn’t they figure out they’d got out all the traitors quickly if the murders just stopped? It’s an entertainment show first and foremost, let it be entertaining.

Last year everyone moaned that they couldn’t get a traitor out. Now we’re complaining that there are too many recruits. Some people are simply never happy.

They don't always recruit anyway - Stephen and Rachel didn't recruit at any point in the latest civilian series, and their game was all the better for it I think!

No recruitments last year on the celeb version either I don't think, but they didn't need to.

Exactly, you don’t have to but let’s face it, Maya has needed to. She’s been initially poor picking traitors who didn’t really want to be there so she needs to find people she can play with. Unlike Rachel and Stephen who worked so well together they definitely needed no one else.

I think there was actually strategy and logic behind why Maya chose Kenny, I think he could do well in the role!

Also I did rather enjoy the gratuitous shower scene of him 🤭

Joe dug his own grave.

Most of the murder in plain sights feel borderline impossible but this is a new one.

Obsessed with Miranda and Leigh-Anne performing the Touch choreography

Hmm.

I'm a little paranoid that the producers were trying to mislead the viewers into thinking it's between Ross and Jerry to yawn first but there was ALOT of shots of Leigh/Miranda (probably at a totally different time) which makes me think one of them might end up walking into the room and yawning because they're tired from dancing.

I was unfamiliar with his game 🔥

I do get the feeling it might end up not being Ross or Jerry too sadly, but either way I wouldn't be sad to see either go (as iconic as both have been in their own ways).

If it is down to Ross or Jerry I'd rather see Ross go, I like both but I feel like we've seen all we need to of Ross whereas Jerry is starting to come into it a bit more.

I didn't think it would be that difficult to make someone yawn, literally all you need to do is make sure they see you yawning as it's naturally infectious?? I think I'd have picked a target, made direct eye contact with them and yawned unmistakably 😂

Now it could just be the edit, but I do think there was too much emphasis on the yawning. Surely whoever survives that is going to pick up on it being a thing?

Ross might as he thinks everything is a murder attempt.

But honestly the edit is the edit. It won’t have seemed that obvious to anyone.

It might be interesting if the traitors fail but there’s only 3 episodes to go and we need to whittle down the numbers somehow.

Absolute TV!

I would love for Ross to be the one that yawns purely for the fact he wouldn’t realise that it was THAT moment that got him murdered and not the other times he got paranoid over! Lmao.

But Leigh or Miranda walking in after doing all that choreo and yawning didn’t cross my mind until just now. Ughhhh! I hope not. I kinda want them as the final 2 at this stage!

i think its jerry yall idk. The editing was insanely obnoxious and if it is jerry then ross is def gonna suspect maya or james (or both!). this has definitely messed with some games and it was nowhere near as easy as alan had it last year or literally any murder in plain sight ever.
