The Traitors - S3 **Potential Spoilers**

I've been thinking about that Anna girl who was an attempted recruit. It took a day or two but she eventually revealed to everyone that she was recruited but rejected it. Following this everyone has seemingly 100% presumed she is a faithful.

I wonder if Charlotte became a traitor and then immediately said she declined the approach whether the same would happen and she would then go under the radar. It's a risky strategy but it might work with this lot.

It’s funny them all asking why they’re still there. Isn’t it obvious, it’s because all the smart ones get killed off early, and the ones left are the easily duped ones sat trying to figure out what day of the week is.

Probably the best aspect of the show is the progressive deterioration of the hive mind. It's like watching reverse evolution in time lapse.

Would have made sense for Minah to have recruited her now - refusal = sayonara and her rep is pretty bullet proof.
 
The contestants just seem a lot more selfish this year. In the previous series they seemed to forget there even were traitors away from the round table and on the tasks especially to build up the prize pot. This year they're all obsessed with self-preservation which instills panic and flitting between wild theories that change every day. I think watching the previous series has influenced them too much. On the previous ones it was a bit more of an unknown quantity for everyone so they just went along for the ride.
 
I would expect that if a traitor had gone in to the death match it would have played out as we saw. If the traitor gets the life card they walk away, but if they end up in the one on one they just stand up and say "I'm a traitor, you've been murdered"
 
Be interesting to see if they chose Jake to be murdered. How will the group react to that? Will the 6 who were in the woods come together and think that the traitors are in the other group and start pointing fingers at Minah. Or will they think it's a double bluff and there's a traitor in their camp?

Personally because we're approaching the end, I would find it highly unlikely the traitors would choose to double bluff at this time, when they could murder someone for definite.

I do think the right murder was between Linda and Jake - neither look like they'll ever be banished around the table...but the risk of murdering someone with a potential shield was too much.

I still insist that Minah has made an almighty error recruiting Charlotte. Minah (without her knowing for definite) is clearly the 'weaker' traitor now and Charlotte even has dirt on her now knowing Freddie (plus one or two others) are wary of Minah.

I find it hard to not seeing Charlotte making the final now.

Jake has a shield so if they attempt to murder him everyone would turn up at breakfast. It could be assumed they attempted to murder him or that they had recruited. They didn't seem to get given the option of recruiting but I thought it was always available when there are fewer than 3? Would have made sense to recruit to avoid murdering someone with a shield. I think they'll play it safe and go for Lisa. A traitor within the 4 who could have the shield wouldn't be daft enough to murder one of the 4 because it would be 50:50 between the two without the shield on which one was a traitor. The safest thing to do as a traitor is always to do what everyone thinks is the safest thing to do which gives the least information away. In this case that would be Lisa.

Don't think they could have recruited as a traitor wasn't banished. I believe they can only recruit once they get down to 1 or 2 traitors, after a traitor was banished.

I get the impression Charlotte was happy to take the gamble on murdering one of the group who went into the woods in the hope they get the one without the shield. And also, she knows she'd be fairly safe from questions with Minah getting more heat and suspicions, if they did pick the person with a shield. So I think Charlotte has played a great game there - assuming they've tried murdering Jake.
 
Leanne is a ticking time bomb. She clearly can't take emotion out of the game. She's a very poor player and the fact she gets on her defence straight away will only attract more interest around the table. Saying that, I would be happy to sit and watch others point the finger at her...because the moment she stands up around the table if she's banished, and says she's a faithful...then those pointing the finger at her will then get heat.

The scouse traitor looked great at one point.. now she's all over the place.. the cracks are showing!

Interesting watching the group dynamics.. be friendly, but don't be too friendly.. don't be clever, don't be vocal, telling the truth doesn't always get you anywhere.. it seems like your best bet is if one of the baddies takes a shine to you.. take them up on their offer.. don't trust them and fcuk them over at your first opportunity.. then screw over your friends until you get to the top lol
 
I don’t think Minah has needed to be particularly any good, the rest of them have just been really bad. It’s easy to fly under the radar when there is 20 odd people to hide amongst, all she had to do was keep her head down while the rest of them continued to shoot themselves in the foot.
 
I'd still back Minah to go a bit further yet - there are some cracks showing but the complete ineptitude of the faithful will buy her time. There's some other close relationships fracturing which may take the heat off too.
 
No surprise last night to see Minah was banished. She literally murdered herself the moment she recruited Charlotte. For someone who played a decent game outside the tower, my goodness, she was thick as pig sh*t in that tower with her decision making.

As for Charlotte, I think she might have overplayed her hand last night. Recruiting Freddie wasn't the worst move...but trying to murder Leanne, knowing she has the shield might come to back fire. Tomorrow's round table is the final banishment in which a player can confirm they're a traitor or faithful? So no doubt one of the lads go....probably Alexander...and they'll confirm they're a faithful meaning the fingers will point towards Freddie....and he will likely find out Charlotte knew about the shield and start to point fingers towards her out of distrust.

Also, if they're smart enough, they'll work out Leanne is 100% faithful. Because she had the shield...and there was no murder....a traitor can't murder themselves...so even with a recruitment happening, a murder has to happen...meaning if Leanne was a traitor, she can't have murdered herself...so anyone left with half a brain should realise Leanne is 100% a faithful
 
I didn't realise Charlotte knew Leanna had a shield! It could be a genius move or a complete clusterfukk, on the record of these contestants I'd tend to think it might pan out as the former.
 
I still think Alexander will win. He is easily winning them over at the round table and is probably a bit too clever for most of them. Freddie to go next.
