Traitors

[rudebhoy]

Frankie has accidentally played a blinder as the Seer. She picked the right person for the wrong reason and hard to see how Charlotte can survive now. I am surprised she has done so well as a traitor as she always looks scarred stiff at the round table and in discussions and it is a wonder no one else has noticed.

The Seer thing has mucked it up.

Frankie will tell the group that Charlotte is a traitor. Charlotte will tell them Frankie is lying and must be a traitor. They will both then get voted out as there are massive question marks over both now. Jake and Lianne will then vote Alexander out as neither of them trust him. Jake and Lianne then split the winnings between them. The End.

If they give Charlotte, the last remaining traitor, the hoof first then don't the surviving 4 faithfuls share the prize?

“After the final round table, the remaining players vote whether to end the game. A unanimous vote to end the game is required; if there is even one single vote to continue, another banishment vote is immediately conducted, before repeating the vote to end the game with the remaining players. When a unanimous vote to end the game occurs, or when there are only two players left, the remaining players reveal whether they are Faithful or Traitors. Should the Faithful contestants have eliminated all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if any Traitors make it to the end, they take it all for themselves instead.”

Last year the finalists had to keep voting until they all voted (blind) to stop. They had to try and work out if they had got rid of all the Traitors (they hadn't) and will only share if they have got rid of all the Traitors. Last year the people voted out still said if they were Faithful or Traitor but won't this year so will be unsure if any Traitors are left.

So, the faithful need to be 100% sure there are no traitors left if they are going to vote to end the game. Can’t see that happening.

I think that Charlotte (1st) and Alexander (2nd) will be voted out and the remaining 3 will vote to split the prize money

Harry was a great traitor last year. He absolutely broke that girls heart when they got down to the last two and he revealed he was a traitor. Great tv moment!

Btw-for those who are hooked on it, tonight’s episode starts earlier than usual. It’s on at 8.30 and Uncloaked is immediately after it, but on BBC1 not BBC2.

she should have known that the other guy wasn't the traitor because he wanted to keep voting, and a traitor wants it to stop asap.



Today it will be Frankie v. Charlotte. Frankie got unlucky. She had the right plan to get a faithful confirmed, but it was worst case picking the traitor.
As someone mentioned above, both will get booted.

 

[Skytot]

Another enjoyable series.
Must give credit to the creators, very smart intelligent people

Smart arse.
Really enjoyed that. Claudia is ace.

Enjoyable series, but I am a bit disappointed that it came down to the last 2 as was predicted here by rudeboy.


Anyone tempted to put their name in the hat for next year? ;-)

Lol.... I concur.. Well played sir.. Really enjoyed it and glad I couldn't remember your actual prediction verbatim...

 

[upsidedown]

Excellent series and good final result, particularly enjoy Uncloaked too

 

[harpo_72]

To be honest I was not surprised at the situation. Harry’s double cross last season was a big influence on this season.. lots of girl power rubbish and influencing due to gender ..
Basically the clueless noisey ones last to the end. Charlotte’s game was compromised by having to recruit Freddie and the seer thing was only going to turn it all into a “bitch fest” .
Jake got lucky with Linda but afterwards just threw people under the bus, Alexander played a gentleman’s game and got Minah, the coin collecting thing was good as well but the girls were all inherently suspicious of the blokes .. hence the comment about Harry .
As for Leanne, I didn’t like her from day one, I did not feel she helped in hunting traitors she deflected and obstructed plus she had her own little secret .. perhaps being caked in make up is a hint ? Dunno .. I lost interest in it because it was just paranoia and the girls club ..
I am sure we will watch it next season

Just in general, maybe Traitors has been ‘finished’ now? People have seen 3 series now, there will be none left playing it normal next time.

They are going to have to put a good few twists and turns in next year's series. Otherwise as you say it will become stale .
There's talk of a vigilante traitor who no body will know not even the traitors ,who will then be allowed to murder as well. That would be a good twist .
Also talk of a special shield that gives the owner a power to double their vote .

Especially if the vigilante doesn’t know the traitor’s identities and murders as well.. would cause mayhem

I’ve been avoiding this thread as we’ve been away and been catching up and avoiding spoilers.
After some mild irritations with the histrionics of the earlier episodes, as you got to know the characters it really got into its stride. The new twists with the Seer and not revealing identities post banishment meant that the final episode was a lot tenser than otherwise would have been the case.
It seems as if the creators are still one step ahead of the players which bodes well for the future. Experience, knowledge and understanding of the game doesn’t seem to really help the players as human emotions and interactions seem to override common sense.
All in all a good series and I am still looking forward to the next one.

Just watched ep 1 of season 3 of Traitors US on iPlayer.

Slightly different as they are all minor reality celebrities but as we don’t know anyone this isn’t an issue.

The personalities are all bigger and brasher (no surprises), the castle is the same and t(e games are the same. Alan Cummings is a great over the top camp host.

They are a lot more treacherous and vicious. The good news, just like the UK one (or The Apprentice) is that almost all will get murdered or banished (or sacked) so even if you dislike them, odds in they will get their comeuppance.

I’d recommend it but do nkt expect British reserve and subtlety.
