I’ve not been able to wait to discuss it 😂 so perfect for me!

John was so over the top with Aaron. I can’t remember if Aaron has told the group if he has adhd or not but I really can’t imagine talking to anyone like that. It was absolutely poison. I can’t imagine going to him for a massage!!

Yes I'm pretty sure he did. As someone with a physical disability and who is neurodivergent I'm watching the show like this

(I'm still obsessed though)

And so far they've banished a person with a disability and a POC who 'doesn't show emotions to their liking'.

I think Nicky marked her own card by being so bossy vocal in the wicker man task. Understandably she felt more inclined to take that role (in such a physical game) but that meant that she didn't fade into the background and under the radar like some of the others did.

It was a tit task for Nicky, tying knots with one hand was never gonna be easy for her.

Yes, of course!

The "cheers" thing obviously didn't help either, as seeds of doubt had already been planted from the off.

It was unfortunate that a manual dexterity type of trial came at the start, when they didn't have much else to go on. I genuinely don't think people voted her out because of her disability but maybe if I had a disability myself then I'd see it differently. 🤔
 
Watched the first one after having enjoyed The Mole but we didn't really get it. Like, how are they supposed to guess who the traitors are? And what is the point of challenges if they're all working together? The whole point of the Mole is that someone was actually sabotaging, so there was a reason to be suspicious of people. I also liked that even if there was someone who wasn't liked or who just didn't fit in, that wasn't enough for them to be sent home.

I just didn't get the traitors and found everyone a bit annoying.
 
I think it’ll be interesting to see how they develop the concept as it goes on. I feel Claudia will keep bringing little twists and turns along the way. I guess it’s in the interests of the traitors to increase the prize pot as they could end up taking the money from the faithful if they play it well. Love how no one suspects the Welsh traitor 😂 sorry, can’t remember her name.

Morning! I came here to discuss this! I was diagnosed with ADHD in October, my son (18) was diagnosed in May. I can see Aaron's ADHD traits so clearly - and I'm sure he said something about it when talking about his inquisitive nature.
Sitting at that table having everyone point the finger incorrectly will have triggered his imposter syndrome and rejection sensitive dysphoria so badly, which will then have triggered his emotional disregulation response, ending up with the tears.
My heart was aching for him - I knew others would not understand what was going on in his head but I felt it like it was happening to me.
When he was standing in front of the group when they were sitting down, trying to explain himself to them I felt his desperation - must have been so intense for him. ADHD brains are desperate to be loved!
As for John - hideous little bully (it's too early for all the swear words that have been rolling round my head all night!). I was shouting at the TV for Aaron to tell him or them about his ADHD but it's so misunderstood I don't think it would make much of a difference.
John needs to be murdered (not in RL 😅) next but I don't think that will happen - while he's got it in for Aaron, the traitors are safe.
Love the show generally though - just not John 😉
 
I’m really enjoying this! I’m glad they murdered who they did on the first ep cos she annoyed me. I also can’t stand John. i’m only halfway through episode 2 and i’m worried someone is gonna fall over they are running that fast 🤣 The 2 girl traitors are doing well especially Alyssa, Wilfred is crap proper gives it away and don’t think he’s taking it serious. not seeing the point in the ‘secretive’ couple, the poor lad who fancies her will be gutted 😂

alyssa is a criminal mastermind tbh 🤣

only just finished episode two and she is an absolute master at manipulation and just dropping tiny little hints. absolutely agree that wilfred is the weak leak, i have no clue how much longer he’s going to be able to hold out.
 
Can I just say, how lovely is Ivan? I wouldn't say fanciable exactly (Matt is the most physically attractive IMHO) but he was just so sweet when Fay was ballsing up the bell-ringing task, making excuses for her etc when she didn't deserve it!

Apparently he's also been on Only Connect but I can't say I watch that....I prefer the low brow trashy stuff! 😂
