It's a fascinating game, really. It's not very often with any of these competition type shows where staying under the radar is basically your best chance of success. We've seen it pretty much every series now.

What I will say about this series is that, perhaps aside from Jade, it hasn't felt like anyone has been ganged up on. Cliques have been a big part of previous series but it hasn't been a dominant part of this series.

Needs to be someone old enough for Paul to not have an affair with. 😈

Well, it beefs up the first half of the final. It'll be hilarious if Rachel survives this.

Ah yes of course - thanks for the correction. I guess with the swing thing he reached people outside of what his usual fanbase was back then.

I don't think it's that puzzling. He was somewhat in his prime in 1998 and seemed to hit that audience quite well. It wasn't quite the same in 2016, not just in terms of his capital but the industry generally.

I think murdering Faraaz is too obvious. There were other people in the room when he mentioned the Traitors. I'll be surprised if Rachel doesn't stab Stephen in the back at the end.

Commercially sensitive info? They pick and choose when to give full sales even within the sales roundup we get each week. I guess there's only so much they want out there for free.

As of January 2025, we had these totals: 2,683,271 Robbie Williams - Greatest Hits 2,624,317 Robbie Williams - I've Been Expecting You 2,459,517 Robbie Williams - Swing When You're Winning

It's ahead of all of them apart from Take the Crown and Swings Both Ways. Album sales were still somewhat healthy then.

She was on it in 2011 and she sang. Had a bit of a rough time in the semi-finals where the judges criticised her song choice and she admitted that it wasn't her choice.

It seems to be getting worse. The psychology of actively messaging someone baffles me.

Spotted another Britain's Got Talent alumni this week (Jess).

I don't know if it's just the very nature of how we are in this situation, but it's pretty clear by this point that if you keep your head down, you'll last longer. I don't know why they bother revealing their jobs. It doesn't always work against them but it's obviously going to get brought up. It's only a proportion of viewers, but seeing how certain Traitors fans behave towards some participants (actively sending them hateful messages, to the point Rachel had to make a video about it) it seems there's a subsection of the audience that doesn't seem to want it either.

Honestly thought they'd keep Gargoyle. It's interesting with these reveals because they seem to be way off the panel's guesses - more so than previous series.

I like the new event (Destruction) though I hope no one gets injured as a result of it.

I'm thinking Jamie Oliver for Sloth now.

Correct. Only Melody Thornton of Pussycat Dolls has done it.

I was just wondering - have they ever had two people from the same thing before? E.g. two members of the same band, two people who had been in the same TV show.

They bleeped an F word the other day. It's pretty much the same show aside from that.

Number 2 in the end with 15,737. Previous opening weeks: 137,499 - All Rise (#1, 2001) 117,510 - One Love (#1, 2002) 88,879 - Guilty (#1, 2003) 58,336 - Best of Blue (#6, 2004) 8,381 - Roulette (#13, 2013) 8,586 - Colours (#13, 2015) 3,521 - Heart & Soul (#22, 2022) Totals: 1,426,478 - One Love 1,319,390 - All Rise 690,539 - Best of Blue 661,599 - Guilty 47,441 - 4Ever Blue

Harry doesn't release until March anyway.

This would make a lot more sense. His team would be wise enough to know that his audience is not likely to be very streaming heavy.

It's an unusual format because it's not a fixed one like Apprentice or Bake Off where it's rather strictly formatted each episode. With Traitors, they can just recruit or whatever because they need at least one Traitor in the show by episode 12. Hence the feel of "making it up as they go along" sometimes.

That does help a lot actually, thanks! Makes sense really, helps them get their little "thank you for the #1" video in before the reveal.
