The Traitors #3 Australia and US versions now on iPlayer

[Bobbleowl90]

Paul thinks it’s his show! So annoying. Also can’t stand Diane - I don’t like Anthony after his paddy over being told he can’t row a boat but Diane’s reasoning for getting rid of him was before they’d even be chosen as traitors ffs.

 

[PurvyPanda]

Sorry but why was Diana cheering when Sonja revealed she was a faithful? I really don’t like her

Because she was smug she was right. The irony of her accusing Anyhony of being all out for himself. Diane should take a look in the mirror. She could wipe away some of the heavy eyeliner whilst she was there.

 

[MollyMalone]

Harry is the best traitor so far! He was right in what he said last night about Diane getting herself banished soon enough. Her intense dislike of Anthony for no apparent reason isn't a good look. And her insistence that Sonja was a faithful kind of made it look like she IS a traitor and therefore knows who is and isn't a traitor.

I haven't watched the 3rd episode. I think they will murder Kyra tonight but I hope they don't because she's making good tv at the moment!

Ash has the worst poker face ever Paul is just annoying. Definitely thinks he's more clever and strategic than he actually is.

 

[Bobbleowl90]

I think they’ll go for Kyra - then people will become suspicious of Zack. Which I hope not because I like Zack and Ross!

Also - howled when Zack (I think it was Zack?) suggested Paul is Diane’s son. LOL

 

[Scotch Mist]

Is one of them Diane's son?
Which one?
And how is that allowed it gives them an unfair advantage.

Ross is Diane's son. It's no different to having a couple take part like last series imho.

 

[ScrambledEggs]

Arghhhh Dianne, do not like .

If I was on the show this year and found out there was a secret pair I'd automatically assume that they'd made one a traitor just to make it different from last year. I kinda wish they'd done that to see whether someone call fool their own partner/relative

 

[UnknownTattler]

I bet Paul is one of those managers who thinks he's mates with his team, but really they all think he's a knob. How has no one noticed how pleased with himself he always looks?

Am I right in thinking the traitor wouldn't be allowed to tell their relative/partner that they were a traitor? That would be good to watch.

I really wish they’d make one pair of a ‘couple’ a traitor! It would be great to watch.

For the traitor oath, you have to swear to not tell anyone who's a traitor

I always wonder what would happen if a traitor got voted out and was really bitter so just said "I'm a traitor and so is X and Y, duck you all". They have the potential to ruin the entire game, so I wonder if they get told they'd be sued for loss of earnings (or similar) if they were to tell everyone.

I read an interesting interview with Wilf recently where he said he thinks getting found out as a traitor was probably a good thing because he thought winning would have narrowed his work opportunities after the show because winning as a traitor makes you seem worse/more dishonest compared to losing. Part of me thinks it'll be a traitor win this series just so it's different to the last. They already started with one more than last year...

Last season was pretty close to this scenario when the bitter exposed traitor told the round that there's one more traitor to be uncovered leading up to the finale.
If your scenario happened, I think they would reshuffle the traitors and faithfuls and maybe even bring back some killed off contestants to change dynamics on top of it.

Wilfs still bitter he didn't win lol

I am shocked and wish I didn’t click the spoiler serves me right!

True though I can't really blame him, considering how close he got to the end. You could really tell how much mental and physical stress it takes out on the traitors because they're constantly having to think how to act, who to murder, and all the strategies associated with that. It's a stressful game for all involved, but the faithful at least don't have to think about what lies to tell and can just be themselves.

I do sometimes wonder what would happen if the traitors just chose people at random to murder because if there's no strategy, the faithful would end up being really confused.

He turned into a complete sociopath on it I didn't want him to win.

I feel like a traitor probably will win this series just so it is different

What you've outlined here does seem likely. I think it'd still damage the show a lot though because then you couldn't look back on past strategies. I doubt it'd happen though as contestants are obviously big fans of the show.

Yeah. At the moment I wouldn't mind any of the traitors winning except Paul. He's already massively smug, imagine if he won; he'd be unbearable.

I was having a read of a Traitors subreddit and most people already detest Paul, calling him a genuine psychopath. A bit strong I thought.

 

[ChastityDingle]

Harry is the only traitor I could see making it to the end even though Diane was close to sniffing him out immediately in episode 1.
Paul already has a target on his back as most popular contestant and his cockiness will be his downfall and Miles is making mistakes already with his "I don't have any names" and not reacting when Ash was brought up to him in a 1:1 conversation.
Ash should have never become a traitor, her deer in the headlights face since Sonja directly asked her at breakfast made that very clear. She could have been really great as a faithful but I guess most want to be a main character and tell Claudia that they see themselves as a traitor.

Tbh I felt a bit 'deer in headlights' on her behalf with the way Sonja yelled it into her face, first thing.
