PRAYER CIRCLE FOR MIRANDA

 

[Madison]

I’d get rid of Miranda.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[ZenGiraffe]

NOT FUN

 

[ManicKangaroo]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[FetchFugly]

BOTTOMS

 

[ZenGiraffe]

GIVE HER A TV VEHICLE AGAIN IMMEDIATELY

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I’d get rid of Miranda.

 

[Madison]

It’s a compliment!

 

[ExcitableWoof]

bash is doing much better than Tom Daley managed.

 

[Lucille]

Maybe because he’s likeable.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Lucille]

This mission.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

SCREAMING

 

[GNL]

Maybe because he’s likeable.

HE IS?

 

[ExcitableWoof]

I mean this has to be the darkest before the dawn surely, the Faithfuls could not be more fucked right now.

 

[FetchFugly]

The Blunt nervous energy is quite exhausting.

 

[Agneeta]

Kenny becoming one of the great Traitors.

 

[FetchFugly]

I was expecting a potential Sharon vs Joanne kick off at this round table but not yet.

 

[ExcitableWoof]

I can’t see them getting anywhere near these 3 - they may have to be some last minute twists to force this.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

She's went fully moody Glaswegian

 

[FetchFugly]

That felt like a weird edit when things turned to Sharon.

 

[Agneeta]

Sharon's out then

 

[ZenGiraffe]

That really didn't need to be a cliffhanger!

 

[FetchFugly]

GITS

 

[Agneeta]

CUNTS!

 

[FetchFugly]

But that new Cold War drama looks quite fun.

 

[Lucille]

The first VAGUELY tense could table, hopefully the series is finally picking up steam.

 

[ExcitableWoof]

Does it finish next week? They need to get a wiggle on

 

[lolly]

The first VAGUELY tense could table, hopefully the series is finally picking up steam.

It feels like the first genuine round table cliffhanger, and yet I still don't care who goes next week.

 

[cwej]

I do care because I love Joanne and losing Jerry, Miranda and Joanne in quick succession loses all the camp from the show far too quickly.

But man… the Faithfuls are SO BAD. I know we were supposed to think they were great because they got Richard out on day 2, and Hannah because the Traitors made such a terrible recruitment but they’re terrible. The ‘Alpha males’ (a push when it’s Blunty and Michael Sheen) are forcing their opinions far too hard.

This season has really thrown into question the game overall for me. Objectively, James Acaster is a terrible traitor - he refuses to really take part in decisions, he doesn’t even take part in tasks and he refuses to lead faithfuls down wrong avenues -
But is looking likely to win despite not really playing the game at all. What’s the point when bad faithfuls (Merly I’m looking at you) and bad traitors can just win for no apparent reason?

 

[Rita]

I haven’t been taking part in the daily threads as I haven’t been watching live. I’m not sure if I’m tiring of the concept or this is just a poor season? I think probably the latter but it is a runaway success even though I do think it is probably the weakest I have watched this far.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

It might be the weakest UK series so far, though I don't think I'm ready to say so just yet, but it's still leagues ahead the majority of the international seasons.

I watched part of the first Irish season but gave up as that was also not great. I think I have been SPOILED as I have only ever religiously watched all UK seasons. I can’t quite put my finger on why I haven’t enjoyed this series quite as much as the casting is pretty great.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Spoiler: Equivalent US challenge/round table

I've not watched it myself yet, but this challenge gave out a "pardon", meaning whoever had it could overrule the banishment that night if they chose to (and possibly swap them for someone else? The article I read wasn't clear on that).

Which would be much more in line with a game changing power than the dagger, so maybe they did swap last minute when all the traitors were picked

 

[lolly]

That would make sense. The dagger felt very anticlimactic.

 

[cwej]

What are they going to do following the banishment and murder and there’s 4 faithfuls, 3 traitors left… and almost certainly another faithful will go next as these 3 are most trusted… at that point in a game of Mafia the game ends… but I’ve never seen it happen in Traitors yet.

 

[PercyPig]

It’s going to take some editing of the final to make that seem tense!
