Have seen people suggesting that the dagger reward was what recent reports were referring to talking about producers having to scrap something completely as the new Traitors US series was recorded around the same time & have just aired the scarecrow task with the winning player receiving something different for use at the round table. So it appears to be them picking the 3 traitors caused this - I will spoiler tag it for anyone watching the US one

The chance to reverse the banishment decision at the roundtable and give whoever was voted for another chance

 

This also aired on Canada's version last week before the US Airing

That alternative US dagger reward:

Can anyone explain why that would be good? Maybe they scrapped it for the UK one as it sounds shite. Why would the person with a dagger, whether they were a faithful or a traitor, ever go against what the group has voted? No combination of Traitor/Faithful with a dagger is saving any Traitor/Faithful are they, as whatever combination it is draws massive suspicion on the dagger holder.

 

Unless I'm being dull and missing sonething here?

As soon as they came around to the final vote I knew it was going to be this episode's cliffhanger. Unless they're somehow spending an hour showing the traitors deliberating over who to murder on Thursday this week's murder will be of little consequence. I guess they could murder Romesh or Bash to try and put a little heat in the direction of Michael, but whoever gets voted out the other one more than likely gets banished next. All three of them getting to be put forward for the special dagger was pretty funny. 

Unless at least one of the traitors messes up massively or they start trying to throw each other under the bus I honestly can see the final being them and one faithful, as anticlimactic as that may seem.

I must say this is the worst Traitors I've seen. It's now on as my partner wants to keep it on but I'm not really fussed. Previously every series has had people you really don't want to win and people you really can get behind. You kind of need of need some to be Traitors. The two Traitors who aren't James Acaster are boring as fuck.

It certainly wasn't helped by the biggest name on the show absolutely blowing his cover on the first episode. The producers will have selected him for a reason and must have been absolutely pulling their hair out when he fucked it. That's the game though. I agree it's not been a great season since, but there's enough entertainment value to keep me tuning in.
