Oh my

I'm not sure if we're going to see James' panic attack that led them to stop filming because I've seen elsewhere that apparently it was earlier in the series and they've just edited it cleverly so that we haven't ever been aware of when it was? Maybe not though. Looking forward to it either way *.*

He changed his vote

This season has been so boring compared to any other season. Loving Kenny as a traitor. Need James to go.

Great mission

Michael still banging on about Leigh-Ann doing a dance with Miranda

JAMES ACASTER WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING

I get he didn't want to be a Traitor, but its a game!?!

Like play along!

James boring as f*** until the end

I thought you weren't allowed to do that too.

At the same time, it doesn't remotely surprise me that James would do that.

Kenny also slipped up at one point he basically said 'as a Traitor...'

Which Bash seemed to clock

Jesus Christ

Never, ever want to see that happen again. Totally ruined any tension, especially in the penultimate episode. A shame because I'm such a fan of James outside of this, but this really was not the show for him.

If Traitors have to recruit, they should only recruit those who actually wanted to be Traitors.

Kinda seeing this as now falling to

James B, Michael and Romesh vs Leigh-Ann, Maya and Kenny.

With Bash as a bit of a toss up vote between the two groups.

Michael is definitely going to be murdered surely

Joanne's reactions to the reveal of who the Traitors are on Uncloaked

I'm not sure, the fact Michael was the one that turned suspicion on James that led to him to just admit it surely confirms him as a faithful? It may keep the question mark on Maya as well, they really missed a trick not killing him over Sharon, could've avoided all of that! If the Faithfuls win, it'll be down to him.

Be interesting to see what way James' giving up does for the game - it could well take the heat off Maya and Kenny in the short term as another faithful going would've seen the suspicions still remain. I'm not quite make sure what to make of him overall, his attitude was quite refreshing but it was hard to root for someone so detached and the traitors work best when they feel well connected.

James A, you played a good game. I would also want to be a Faithful and would not want to lie, and playing it as he did until this moment was a great strategy. Of course once the heat turns on you, and with the weird editing, something happened there, it's not so easy, so respect. It may help the other Traitors but Maya especially has put a lot of suspicion on herself this episode, if she kills Michael as I think she will, she might stand a chance.

Michael had a great episode of deducing, helped out by the remaining faithful to an extent - though Leigh-Anne doesn't seem to have a clue and could well be a patsy that Maya or Kenny (or both) uses to win.

Not sure I can call how the final's going to go but I feel Kenny's in the strongest position.

Yeah I can see if a Traitor is going to win, it will be Kenny. Although, I'm kinda hoping Romesh and Bash win - and Leigh-Ann, if she can side with them and stay away from Maya.

It will basically come down to whoever is banished at the Roundtable before the endgame and if the balance manages to fully shift to the Faithfuls.

Although I can't see Leigh-Ann ever voting for Maya, so it could end up being a deadlock vote or something.

Its good though that things are so up in the air going into the final! Last year it seemed Cat was in a stronger position than Alan, but then everything shifted and Nick turned again Joe. So I guess anything could happen!

It's truly amazing how every single UK season hits a lull in the middle where fans panic that the show is losing steam and that the 'finale is going to be really predictable' and then around episode 8/9 there's a huge moment where the game flips completely and here we are again, going into a Traitors final episode with the Faithfuls FINALLY figuring things out (like when Joe and Nick started to suss Cat and Alan last year, and Faraz started to clock Rachel earlier this year) and we have no idea how things are going to go. This show really is incredible and I REALLY hope tomorrow has an exciting ending and we can continue to push out a civilian and celebrity series every year to commercial and critical success before the downfall starts!

Regarding James A's decision tonight I do see how many fans could be irritated and think he ruined the game and was a waste of a Traitor spot but I on the other hand found him oddly fascinating (had no idea who he was before) and really enjoyed seeing someone having to play a role they clearly did not want and battling the morality that comes with it. He clearly wasn't comfortable and was going to crumble at the first sign of suspicion but him straight up admitting it before anyone even voted was jaw dropping TV and ultimately it's stuff like that which is more important for the show as a whole - remember it's a TV show first and foremost.

I suspect they will murder Michael since he just established himself as a Faithful by leading the charge on James A? It would be dumb to murder Leigh-Anne because then it implicates Maya as the original female Traitor so I hope that keeps her safe but I really couldn't call it. Since Michael, Bash, Romesh and James B all suspect Maya I think she's done for regardless. They know there's two Traitors left so things could get real interesting. There's no way they'll choose end game with 4 or 5 people still playing. It's too risky that anyone could be a Traitor.

Edit - Oops, no. They banished James A so they think there's still 1 Traitor left.

I think I'm team faithful because I'd love to see Bash win now that he's managed to make it this far not being murdered. It's clear Maya will be on borrowed time tomorrow night, just need to hope Leigh-Anne doesn't end up being blinded by her in a similar way to Maura/Rob if it comes down to her being the decider in any of the scenarios.
