I’ve just watched the episode and did anyone else catch that following the mother/son reveal, Claudia says ‘the character revelations are set to continue’!!

Anyone else have any inklings of what she means? Another boyfriend/girlfriend pairing or someone who’s lied about their job and is actually an actor/intelligence analyst etc?

I just thought she meant the Scarecrow challenge because the questions were taken from the groups answers about each other.

I think Brian will use the old Big Brother excuse and say he chose Paul because he knew no one else would pick him so it was a “safe” choice.

It’s odd that he may be banished yet, prior to he scarecrow task, none of us had even noticed him!

It just goes to show how doing something slightly odd at the round table is potentially enough to get you banished straight after, because when people have no idea who a traitor is they latch onto anything that sticks out and then the herd mentality immediately follows and it becomes a case of safety in numbers.

I can just tell if Brian does leave, those who voted for him will get defensive and say things like "well, he shouldn't have acted that way" - just as they did when they banished Sonja. Whereas they should learn from it and say "maybe jumping on someone who's a bit anxious isn't wise considering it's an anxious experience for everyone". Maybe some will...

A strategy that might work is studying the expression on each person's face when they're nominated. When faithfuls nominated Ash she had a different expression to when Paul and Harry nominated her, I suppose because the latter made her feel pretty defeated and betrayed. I was thinking if you saw that reaction in someone who gets banished and says they're a traitor, it identifies at least one more traitor. But I know it's easy to say that - it's very different when you're in the situation! :D

The problem is that the people taking part in these shows aren't even trying to play the game, they're playing for air time and the monetary offers that come with it, so they all just want to survive another day and wait for whatever sacrificial lamb the round table creates that day. And aside from the big personalities who get instantly voted off, they always latch onto anxious people.
 
I'm still enjoying the show and did love Harry and Paul voting for Ash 😄 that was the best moment so far. I hope Ash does go because she's not doing a very good job and is a liability to them.

I still think the traitors have had it easy up to now. The others don't have any clues to look at because the traitors meet separately and they don't have to do anything in view of the faithful that would arise suspicions. This isn't like a murder mystery where everyone has to produce an alibi. The only thing the traitors have to do is fit in and get others to like and trust them. The faithful have nothing to go on other than vague suspicions so they're just going to banish people they don't get on with for spurious reasons.

I'm not keen on Zack but clearly his remark about someone's last dinner was a 'joke' that was pounced on like Brian being anxious.

The show would benefit from the traitors actually being in danger of being exposed on the job in my view.

It’s not the worst thing to be considered a sheep. The most opinionated ones or those with a big personality have either been murdered because they are a threat (Tyra) or banished for putting themselves front and centre (Sonja). I think there is a small risk by being a wallflower that the traitors will kill you randomly, but I do think it’s the safest way to play the game.

Look at Meryl from last year, sorry but she was thick as two short planks. She won last year because she was too stupid to be considered a threat to the traitors, and the faithfuls thought - no way could she be a traitor, she can’t keep a secret! Wilf particularly kept her in because he knew he could manipulate her.

On the uncloaked show, Aubrey said Diane text him a picture at Christmas and said “look who else is here for dinner”. He said that’s the first time the penny dropped about Ross and he was shocked. So does that mean they get quite far???

Not necessarily, Aubrey left first so wouldn’t know anything that happened after he left. I guess they can’t discuss it so spoilers don’t get out
