Deceit. Lies. Betrayal. Just your ordinary day in The Traitors mansion.
The breakfast table became a battleground when, not even waiting for food to pass his lips, Matt hounded Theresa, Fi and Justine over eggs, wanting answers behind their vote.
With the conversation soon turning to Angus and the possibility of him being a Traitor, Angus got a little hot under the collar, realising he was definitely the next target.
When Midy didn’t arrive at the table, the schemers also knew their days were numbered.
With $34,000 up for grabs in the challenge, fear of heights were put to the test as everyone was harnessed up with the single goal of making it to the other side of the bridge without dropping. So basically, step on a trap door and you’re a goner.
With $14,000 added to the kitty, it was no rest for the wicked when host Rodger Corser handed down yet another challenge, introducing a sweet twist.
Enter The Shield. Get your hands on this baby and you’re not only protected from being murdered overnight, you’re also safe from banishment. Let’s just say everyone got their game face on quick sticks to swim across a lake to grab it.
In a two-horse race between Angus and Nigel, and with a bit of scratching and roughhousing, Nigel came out the victor. With Angus stating murder “did cross his mind”, suspicious were roused by the Faithful.
After another robust session in the Banishment Room, the original Olivia lie came to a head and she was voted out. Another Faithful GONE.
Smirking from ear to ear, The Traitors, Angus, Nigel, Claire and Marielle murdered again with ease. Who will be cut from the game this time? Kate or Justine? Find out when The Traitors continues tomorrow night.
I have some genuine questions about this show.
Firstly, what is the point? We know who all the Traitors are… and so when invariably there are only Traitors left (or if the Faithful get it together and identify all the traitors – even though they don’t know how many there are) what happens then? Do they just play to the end and one person gets the money?
Secondly, since is not The Mole, the Traitors are seemingly just as eligible for the cash as the Faithful… so everyone is trying in challenges. How on earth is a Traitor supposed to “act” and what makes someone suspicious? A Faithful wouldn’t want to pretend to be a Traitor for fear of eviction… and Traitors just want to blend in… so there is zero tension. At best, one could throw shade on someone else as a tactic but nobody is really doing this.
Presumably the drama will amp up when the player pool reduces further and people become more suspicious of who is a Traitor… but again, then what? In the last episode presumably there are 2-3 players left. The Traitors know who is who, so is there ANY surprise?
Would love your thoughts!
