I have so many thoughts about this show! The herd mentality the second they get around that table is fascinating and quite unsavoury to watch. Seems to be more about picking on people that don't 'fit'

I'm not convinced that Maddie isn't putting on an act - she seems to be doing a poor Impression of Stacey Solomon. Re the secret couple - it would have been quite interesting if Claudia picked one of them to be a traitor. And presumably the idea is the traitors will start to turn on each other at some point.

i love how much fun Claudia is having too - the perfect host for this

The herd mentality is everywhere though but this really highlights it, you see it in schools, colleges and in the work place people who don't quite fit in, or a strong character will take a dislike to someone and the sheep will follow even though they themselves have
no reason of their to turn against the poor person. And some people don't grow out of it and keep being followers even when they are in retirement homes.

I don't think the male traitor will last long. That blonde girl won't shut up about him and people seem to listen to her.

Yes he seems to be losing it tbh.
If a traitor goes they can recruit another one I think.
Faye with the bell ringing was terrible 😂 They all kept saying to slow down and she just carried on at exactly the same speed. Didn't help it was the least recognisable tune anyway.
 
I think Wilfred was cracking last night, to be fair to him it must be horrible, the idea of being a traitor was probably more appealing than the reality of it. The other two traitors might turn on him because they won’t want to keep defending him as it will make people suspicious of them.
Fay was awful on the task but I like that she is being herself and not being a fake nicely nice type.

Yes they told him very firmly that they had defended him but they won't be doing that too long in case he blows their cover as he seems very highly strung, the two women seem colder and far more calculating, they will throw him to the wolves.

Yes they are on to him, and he is jumping around everywhere like a clockwork toy gone wrong.

Just a passing thought, I watched" I'm a celebrity get me out of here" last month and Matt Handcock who appeared on it would have made an excellent traitor he is a natural. No qualms about faking whatsoever.
 
I gave it another go after seeing how much you guys were loving it and I'm also enjoying it. 🙂

I'm glad Imran has gone. I was getting a bit bored of him mentioning his academic credentials, being the youngest in the world etc etc....

John's attack on Aaron was bizarre. It might help the traitors (deflecting suspicion away from them) but he'll get himself banished soon if he carries on like that....especially taking it so seriously whilst telling people it's only a game!

Personally I would've voted to get rid of John after that very first task - he was painfully slow with that flaming torch and could've cost them the cash.

I thought it was odd when John took offence at Aaron asking him about his massage therapy. I genuinely presumed Aaron was either just interested or making small talk - whereas John took it as an interrogation because he thought A was suspicious. Sort of blew up out of nowhere.

(Is everyone OK with the programmes that have already been broadcast on the night being discussed openly? Any that have been watched ahead on iplayer being spoilered? There aren't any new ones on iplayer at the moment though 😂)

Yeah that was odd. TBH I was a bit disappointed that Andrea didn't pipe up when John THE MASSEUSE jumped on him. She's obviously there to play the game but it was pretty clear that it was a massive overreaction.....maybe she'll use it to sway the others against John?

I agree....flag spoilers until something airs, then it's fine to discuss openly.
 
Yeah I’m fine with it.

John was a total hole to Aaron, it was so unnecessary, he was just chatting and curious about a job he clearly doesn't have any knowledge of. It’s not like he was asking for his bank details!
I was disappointed that the others sat there didn’t challenge John when he was being a dick, I actually think Imran might have done if he had still been there.
