The Traitors - BBC

[Bleurghgram]

I don’t think so, she made the right decision over who was the more ruthless traitor.

 

[50sGirl]

They’d have been better off murdering a Faithful than recruiting one surely? More prize money for them.

 

[dcs34]

Amanda made the right choice - she hadn't cast any doubt on Wilf so to suddenly vote him would have given up his betrayal of Alyssa and outed all three traitors.

Adding another traitor at this stage just seems to make things more unpredictable for the traitors - more people to backstab, more people to have to keep the story straight, more people you can't be seen being too close to (but also not too distant from) to avoid casting suspicion in an every smaller pool of people.

I think they should have agreed to murder Amanda, if the game would have allowed it, under the pretence that she had the casting vote which saw Alyssa leave (and the other traitors want revenge on her) but her "shield" would have saved her.

Then everyone would think she was a guaranteed faithful, and Maddy's crusade against Wilf is further diminished.

Poor Alyssa, I felt so sorry for her, with Wilf throwing her under the bus. What a backstabber!

Will be interesting to see if Alex says yes.

 

[Jelly Bean]

I’m annoyed with Amanda she let Wilf manipulate her

I wonder who Amanda would have chosen?
I would not have chosen Alex tbh. She's still bitter over her strange boyfriend being chucked out.
This might be a decision they come to regret. But good telly

But none of them would know she was selected to be murdered and had immunity

Oo clever.

I think she’d have murdered someone

 

[50sGirl]

But none of them would know she was selected to be murdered and had immunity

But could Amanda not divulge it to the others?
No one would have been murdered so the Faithfuls would know the shield came into play so would she be allowed to tell them?

 

[mags]

Will be interesting to see if Alex says yes.

If she doesn't, she might guess that the handwriting looks like that of a woman of 'a certain age'. I'm pretty sure you could easily narrow it down and discount a fair few people from the writing alone.

I’d be very surprised if her words were not copied onto another document which is then given to Alex.

True but not sure she’d be allowed as you say

 

[dcs34]

That was my thinking, they'd realise no one had gone home. Claudia can't announce any other twist. So Amanda can say "I won the shield yesterday" and leave it to the group to figure out she'd been chosen. Amanda can play naive to it (cos if she says "I was chosen but the shield saved me" then they might ask how she knew she was chosen, we as an audience don't know whether she'd have been told - if she was a faithful with the shield - depending on how the show's producers run that mechanic).

 

[50sGirl]

True but not sure she’d be allowed as you say

We need to see the rule book!

 

[dcs34]

We need to see the rule book!

I think it's pretty clear they made the rulebook up in the edit, going by the extent of Claudia's ADR dubbing!

 

[hol20x]

I think I'd accept the invitation to become a traitor just to find out who the others were.

 

[50sGirl]

Now if Alex declines is she allowed to say she was invited?
Where is that rule book?!

Oo imagine if Amanda said at breakfast that she herself was invited and declined? Is there anything to stop her?

 

[AnonymousQueen]

I thought they’d choose Maddy. Purely on the fact that she’d get off Wilfs back BUT the fact she apologised to him infront of people, if anyone then said “why do you suddenly not think Will” then she can say, well I apologised infront of …. And said that his emotions would not be like that if he were a traitor…

I don’t know if I made sense. It’s late & I am stuck on this website

 

[Jelly Bean]

If she doesn't, she might guess that the handwriting looks like that of a woman of 'a certain age'. I'm pretty sure you could easily narrow it down and discount a fair few people from the writing alone.

But then again she might think the writing was disguised to look a certain way.
I would so overthink things if I was a player
Alex on twitter said they were all very sleep deprived so emotions were always very heightened. They leave the castle at midnight and are probably back very early to fit in all the filming.

That's true. And even moreso for the traitors, with their little after party.

Actually Andrea was pretty astute in saying that the traitors would need the physical stamina to keep it up, as it'd be so demanding/draining. Wilf looked a right state tonight!
