If they banish Sharon and murder Michael and the next banishment is a Faithful (Leigh-Anne or Joanne) then that would be a 3 Traitors vs 3 Faithful finale, right? Romesh, James B and Bash are untouchable at the Round Table but are the most likely to be murdered after Michael so it really just seems random on which of them will make it to the final I think.

Two divas DOWN. (Sharon is very clearly going with how checked out she is)

I really don’t think Michael will get killed anymore, it's looking like Romesh or Bash will probably be murdered next episode, given the light suspicion on Leigh-Anne and even Michael now, and obviously Joanne is insanely suspicious.

I find it ironic that the 3 most ‘trustworthy’ are the traitors- like that kind of just ruins the whole suspense that comes with The Traitors in a really dumb way. If only Miranda knew her left and rights 💔.

I've gone from loathing Miranda before this started to being gutted she's gone 😭

Joanne has delivered the highlight of the entire series by using the word "discombobulated" 🤩 (it's in my top 3 favourite words)

I’ve just finished episode 7. This has been great and if I think the faithfuls aren’t that great at picking traitors.

Kenny, Maya, James Blunt, Miranda and Romesh have all been fantastic.

Can't stop thinking about how utterly inept the faithfuls are lmao

Miranda 💔

I saw a comment online which I kinda agree with.

It basically said if Maya James A and Kenny are seen as the most faithful/trustworthy, then surely (in the faithfuls eyes) the traitors would probably kill one of them as they’d never get banished.

Now obviously none of them can get murdered as all 3 are traitors, so will the faithful pick up on this and wonder why none of the three were killed off?

I’m gonna probably assume not 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

The perfect cover would be to murder Michael, though. He's the 'leader' of the Round Table and people have already raised they find it suspicious he hasn't been murdered yet.

The outcome that I see happening, in this order:

Banish - Sharon

Murder - Michael

Banish - Joanne

Murder - James B*

Banish - Bash/James A (either will be targets of where Maya/Kenny see fit in terms of how they can make it to the end, they’ll take James with them if they can but I can see him coming under fire)

Final Banishment - Bash/James A

End Game:

All vote to banish - Leigh-Anne out

All vote for end game - Maya and Kenny stun Romesh

*James B would absolutely be the right player to be murdered next UNLESS he publically voices doubts on any of the traitors, then it would be too risky and they’ll murder Romesh instead, perhaps Bash or Leigh-Anne.

Of course it could work out differently as there’s 10 left before this banishment when if it goes in the standard pattern of having 5 left at the final round table, there should be 9 left right now before Sharon’s banishment and 8 after? Unless my maths has failed here.

What a frustrating episode. Miranda gone which brings the likeability factor of the remaining players to an absolute low. The traitors being picked as the three most trustworthy. Usually in the regular game, at least one of the three most trustworthy would suddenly come under a lot of suspicion but in the celeb ones it never happens.

It’ll be a traitor win for sure but I’m not really excited for it. I don’t think any of the traitors are actually interesting to watch. They never end up in any sort of peril and don’t come across very interesting in any of the conversations.

And it feels like the producers are trying to help the faithful out but they keep shooting each other in the foot.

And I really don’t know how I feel about walking into the final episode with TEN players remaining (I know Sharon will probably be gone but officially she’s still there)

I feel at this point I’d be as frustrated as Sharon seems.

EDIT: just seen it’s 10 episodes, not 9 so we’re not at the final yet. I guess the faithful still have a chance but I won’t hold my breath.

Seems that the original plan for the power was for it to be the same one that the US version has just had, with a player being able to veto a banishment. But because it was the three traitors there they changed it to the dagger.

They pretty much have to banish a traitor at the next round table to be within any kind of chance of a faithful winning.

I am wondering if suspicion will fall on Maya due to her vote for Bash, which seemed a little odd given it was Kenny's theory, who didn't even vote for him and the heat was basically on Sharon/ Joanne. Bash even looked a bit WTF at it.

The ‘was Bash in the bar’ theory is quite annoying because so what? Obviously the traitors keep bringing it up but no one seems to think Maya or James A spending significant time with Ross that night could mean anything.

Up to date now and I’m all in on team Traitors winning the whole thing. They’ve played it brilliantly, though the faithful for the most part have been utterly useless.

James Blunt, Romesh and Bash/Joanne are the faithfuls I’d like to win, if they do.

I don't think the traitors have necessarily played a brilliant game. I think the faithfuls are just utterly clueless!

Yeah the faithful's seemed fine until Maya and James decided to recruit AGAIN! I know the option is always there once a Traitor has gone, but the recruitments have felt a little bit like overkill this series. The Faithfuls haven't been able to really progress as every time they banish a Traitor a recruitment has happened.

They may as well have just kept Richard and Hannah around as known Traitors, so no recruitments could take place - they would've been in a stronger position then they are now.

The traitors have been a dull watch. Kenny was an inspired pick because he already had strong faithful vibes. Hannah was a poor pick because people were already gunning for her. And Maya should have just disregarded Richard as soon as he made his slip up and chosen who she wanted not who was gunning for Richard. It made no difference because everyone was gunning for him.

They haven’t been playing a risky game which I think doesn’t help. Rachel and Stephen stuck together in the last series but they were constantly having to fight for their place. This series it just seems too easy for the traitors.

King Kenny has a new song - definitely going on radio if he wins traitors

Maya’s played a brilliant game to be fair, being patient with James A and letting him cement himself as a “100% Faithful” before making too much traitor-y moves with him. By the time he did that, she brought in Kenny who wanted to be a traitor AND was a solidified faithful by that point. She’s also really locking herself in as a faithful. The Traitors’ job are to literally make themselves undetectable and all 3 in the turret right now have done that perfectly and kept it up amazingly if they were recruited too. It’s not fun for the viewer when the outcome becomes obvious but they’ve all earnt this one.

The bad faithful trope is also not ever really brought up cause people are so hyperfocused on getting out people who “may be traitors” that they actually end up getting rid of people who could've possibly gotten it right. Julie and Myha’la could have both easily worked it out had the faithfuls gone for more weighted points. They actually got rid of Jerry for this reason but she wasn't even one of the worst, James Blunt and Joanne are riding high and mighty on bad faithfulness and are still in!

The traitors are also just brilliant at murdering the right people. Bella and Miranda would have clocked them instantly despite both being fan favs. The Ross play (while not ideal for them) was also perfect as it left the faithfuls clueless. They have absolutely nailed this one.

Had they not gotten Ross out and it had been Jerry who had yawned he would have clocked them but Jerry is so out of it she never questioned it.

I think the faithful got too cocky getting out 2 traitors and now they are too convinced who are faithful they've lost it.
