The Traitors UK discussion thread *SPOILERS*

[TheBurningRed]

I was trained in behavioural detection at my last job. And I work now in CCTV. Reading body language etc. So I should be good. Gurantee I would fuck it up and get it completely wrong if I was on there.

Francesca is getting the treatment of the guy from the Aussie Traitors. She’s shown up on camera a couple of times, names been mentioned, but there is nothing else known about her.

The woman with the fake Welsh accent is right about that accent being more trusting. Why else would I being rooting for that actual Welsh girl?

Fuck sake.

Seeing all the weird ways everyone spells each others names is one of the best bits of the show.

So are those ones who left the train on the first episode out then? I wasn't paying proper attention while that bit was on.

I assume they'll turn up later on. That's what usually happens.

Clocked a knife in the boot.

Knew that was coming the moment she started giving it the biggun in Ep 1. 

 

Imagine watching Paul do the same thing in S2, and then thinking "yeah that worked well for him", but then doing it but worse.

Linda is absolutely useless. I think Mina might walk this all the way to the final.

Lisa, Jake and Charlotte are my favourites so far. I don't know what I want to see more, her get murdered and her fake welsh plan never get revealed, or her to be banished early in the process and reveal it to a room full of confused people to no fanfare. In my head there is no way to reveal her plan in a way that I think she believes it will go for her.

Jake was fully justified on kicking off at being left on the raft then them all deciding that was enough. It's a shitty thing to do and Dan is a bitch.

 

[Dr. Alan Grant]

Only watched episode 1 so far, but I hate 75% of them. For a director of communication, Yin didn’t half talk some shit. I’m glad they killed her. I don’t like the fake Welsh girl, pink hair man, fella with hair curtains who cried on the train, purple rinse traitor, the sisters and mute bald man.

I do like the real Welsh girl, the doctor and the other traitor. There’s also another brunette who I hope stays in for a while because…reasons. 

I predict that the 3 idiots who sacrificed themselves at the beginning will be back. Which is a shame, as that blonde fella had the stupidest haircut I’ve ever seen and I don’t want to punch my tv if he returns. 

Hopefully I’ll learn some names before I post about it again.

Linda immediately looking when Claudia said "Traitors" was an all-time blunder and she was lucky to get away with it.

I feel a bit sorry for Linda, and think the reason she’s on the chopping-block is incredibly weak. Claudia speaks, she looks at her. Surely she wasn’t the only one who did that? It would just be rude to do anything else! I suspect she’d have done the same thing had she been a faithful. It’s pure luck on the part of the guy who accused her that she’s not, in my opinion!

Really though, given that they replace the Traitors when they’re killed, there’s very little advantage in offing them. You might as well keep Armani and Linda around until the final and cross your fingers that you don’t get killed. The murders won’t stop, but having newer traitors in the mix hurts your chances of catching them come the final week.

I thought the same regarding Linda's reaction. Surely everyone looked round when Claudia started speaking? I think Linda is genuinely rubbish at being a Traitor and seems pretty unlikeable but her reaction at that moment was completely normal and reasonable.

[wordsfromlee]

To be fair to Linda, she was right - Mina was absolutely dog shit at rowing and doing it all wrong.

[FLips]

I think the Linda thing isn't that Claudia was speaking to them, it's that she started her sentence by going "TRAITORS" and Linda's head shot round like she was rubbernecking a car wreck. She then sat and nodded along at the instructions being given to the Traitors.

In an early process where the best accusations people can muster up are "she's too nice" or "he's too quiet" or "you'd be a really good Traitor so I'll vote you as one just in case" then it's as good an excuse as any, and in this case he's right about her.

I love the "you're nice so you must be a Traitor!" or "you've got a good job" etc. It's grasping at absolutely nothing and yet people latch on to it every damn time. Everyone needs to just go in and be an absolute cunt.

It's working both ways. Theres even that blonde woman who's pretending to be a nail technician instead of admitting she's in the army. She reckons that people will think that being in the army is reason to be a traitor.
