What will Charlotte do now? If I were her I would be tempted to get Frankie to go halves on the money she wins, if she tells the group she's a Faithful... If she's allowed to do that? Would net her more money than winning as a Faithful with the others where it will probably be split between more

paulb3964.bsky.social•39 days ago

The only spanner in that theory is that Leanne saw who Freddie voted for at the round table (and that was Charlotte).

donnarees.bsky.social•39 days ago

I hope the fact that Freddie's vote for Charlotte lingers in some of their heads and they can just work it out from there!

mooseallain.bsky.social•39 days ago

There would be justice in that. Also would love to see Charlotte and Leanne face off, both adopting what seemed a pointless lie that has actually primed them to be constantly hyper aware of how they portray themselves.

mooseallain.bsky.social•39 days ago

I saw someone post about Traitors and a replier saying they didn’t watch it because they didn’t get it. The most pointless kind of reply out there. Why on earth waste the finger skin?

On a par with Amazon questions being answered with “I don’t have this version”.

"Bought it for my wife. She hasn't used it yet."

Whyyyyyyyyy?

4 stars.

Or the dozens of comments on recipe websites that basically say "I made this, but substituted [everything]. It was a disaster. Your recipe sucks."

evil-bill.bsky.social•39 days ago

Once looked at the mostly 4 & 5 star reviews of a book I felt was badly written, edited and generally below par. There was a good book in there, but this wasn’t it. All the good reviews were about how quick the delivery was and how happy the person they bought it for would no doubt be 🤦🏻‍♂️

I saw that post but didn’t bother reading it.

Like when people text radio stations to tell them to “keep the tunes coming”…

alistairking.bsky.social•39 days ago

I did a massive long thread this morning. 24 parts, I think, but I lost count. I was then embarrassed to realise I'd missed an obvious scenario, as shown in this quote-post here, which introduces the thread. It's utterly absorbing, isn't it? Such brilliant programme-making. https://bsky.app/profile/alistairking.bsky.social/post/3lgibinigyc25

rupertstubbs.bsky.social•39 days ago

This is where the devilry of banished contestants not revealing if they’re a traitor or not becomes clear. It’s all about trust now, and since even their favourite Freddie was a traitor how can they trust anyone else? I wonder if they’ll bring in an Aussie Traitors-like test at the end...

thornfieldhall.bsky.social•39 days ago

When I used to help out at my daughter's school trips. There was one trip to the National Gallery where one of the children enthusiastically shot her hand up to every question, only to respond with, "I don't know". Reading this post, I re-see the guide's face after the 4th time of asking her.

rjgray.bsky.social•39 days ago

Also, how can you not get it? They have interviews explaining exactly what's happening every 30 seconds...

mooseallain.bsky.social•39 days ago

I think they meant they didn’t get the appeal

rjgray.bsky.social•39 days ago

Makes a bit more sense, I guess.

tobyontv.bsky.social•39 days ago

Had that exact reply to a post, unfathomable waste of time

mooseallain.bsky.social•39 days ago

I had someone recently reply ‘TV rots your brain, dear Moose’. I can see no way in which you could make this more patronising.

davidmuttering.bsky.social•39 days ago

I don't understand people complaining about people posting that they don't understand people posting complaining that they don't like things.

mooseallain.bsky.social•39 days ago

Anyone know how to report a post?

timmorton2.bsky.social•39 days ago

I think you have to write to the King, you know, the Royal Male

tobyontv.bsky.social•39 days ago

I don’t understand people complaining about people pointlessly complaining with a post about not understanding people pointlessly complaining with a post about not understanding people not understanding people pointlessly complaining

mooseallain.bsky.social•39 days ago

It’s all getting a bit ceremony peremony

samcarthur.bsky.social•39 days ago

Wasn't there something similar in the first series? A last minute, sacrificial traitor left with a barb that gave the game to the faithful?

It could still go either way.

thecarleast.bsky.social•39 days ago

Leanne’s lie?

mooseallain.bsky.social•39 days ago

That she’s a nail technician, not a soldier

aliafro.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yeah they are pointless lies (that just make their life harder) from the viewers perspective but in their defence I suspect they offered them to the producers as USPs to get them picked for the show…

davebrockman.bsky.social•39 days ago

The only logic I can see for Leanne's lie, is that a soldier won the last series and she might not want her competitors thinking it might happen again. But the whole Warcrime Barbie act is too far in the other direction.

aliafro.bsky.social•39 days ago

From the perspective of playing the game it’s broadly pointless - but look how many contestants have a secret (not Welsh, ordained priest, has a sister, was in the army etc etc) - it seems the producers like a secret so maybe of was a tactic to be picked, or once picked maybe producers encouraged it

thecarleast.bsky.social•39 days ago

That was thoroughly entertaining. Am not tempted by The Traitors US, Alan Cumming is quite a draw.

ashherbert.bsky.social•39 days ago

Feels like Frankie has doomed herself by asking Charlotte - unless she treads very carefully, Charlotte is going to go on the attack and the others will just banish Frankie (and Charlotte) just so there’s no risk. She’s going to have to gain Charlotte’s trust and then backstab her somehow

slats76.bsky.social•39 days ago

Totally this. Can see Alexander for the chop for the same reason.

lemmymotorhead.bsky.social•39 days ago

Perhaps... the seer power may well see off the last traitor

ianm70.bsky.social•39 days ago

or a flick of a whip

fintasm.bsky.social•39 days ago

That is exactly what I said! Charlotte’s name on his little blackboard was a balrog move!
Can’t wait for tonight

robrensenbrink.bsky.social•39 days ago

I would’ve loved to see him reply ‘Charlotte’ when he was asked who’d told him about the shield. He might still have been banished but at least he’d have lobbed a grenade back. ‘Let’s see how you respond to *instant* pressure.’

gibbie2024.bsky.social•39 days ago

Only way I can see Charlotte get out of it is for her to convince group that Frankie and Alex are both Traitors and that's why she wasn't bothered about getting the Seer power. Whereas they( and Freddie) were desperate for it.

ianstaerck.bsky.social•39 days ago

Leanne seems to have picked up on Freddie's clue (a master stroke from a player who I didn't think would be canny enough to do that), but Frankie appears to have selected Charlotte without really taking that on board (unless I'm being harsh?)
