Episode 4 was on last night.

The players are definitely more ruthless in this series.

Another nice twist was added to the game as well.

Totally hooked on this and can't wait for tonight's episode 5.

Yes, it's been very ruthless, I think some of the traitors realised sooner than others that you're not all going to get to the end, there will be the odd sacrificial lamb along the way.

Was an odd way to end it last night - just before Ash was about to reveal she's a traitor after getting banished. Just wondering if there's some big revelation/twist/reaction to the reveal as to why the left it on that. Or if it was simply because there's only 1 option to murder and so no real cliffhanger to end the episode like they usually do. Probably overthinking it though... biglaugh

Yes, I found this a bit frustrating too! - not sure why they bother doing it... its like they can't be bothered to finish the program

Agree, cliffhangers do annoy me but at the same time it was a bit of a non event to end it on.

Yeah we said the same. Hardly a cliffhanger so why stop there?

Cant believe Ash not only didnt go after Paul when he focused on her (for a 2nd time) and when his name was already up there with hers. Not only that she even stuck up for him.

Glad someone finally said something about Pauls smirky face and the fake crying / emotion was cringe when he snapped back to grinning 10 secs later. Got way too cocky. After a rocky start Harry looks he doing the best job of being a traitor.

Would have been so funny if Meg was banished. Bet the producers were a tad concerned about that scenario as would have confirmed 2 traitors.

Not quite sure why details from broadcast are being spoiler protected, anyway;

Paul’s bubble burst somewhat when his presumption of being saved by the vote failed to happen. Also others are beginning to call out his smugness. I suspect his time could be extremely limited unless he can reset the herd view that is forming.

It’s rare that me and my wife both like the same TV programs but we’re both totally hooked on The Traitors. It’s a lot of fun and great to see the way the game is going. Paul is doing well considering his name keeps coming up. I think he’s too high profile now though to win it. The other two traitors are doing well at keeping a very low profile.

Hidden just in case anyone's not fully up to date.. I said last night straight away after Jaz had been going round saying if I go next Paul is a traitor, that was Harry's perfect opportunity to snake Paul. All he needed to do was say in the traitors meeting I think Jaz is a danger or something and not relay what was said. It would further put people on to Paul if they got Jaz gone then Harry would be left with the other traitor bloke who seems a bit of a hopeless follower.

Exactly how I feel. Perfect opportunity for Harry to get rid of Paul.

Paul is got lots of heat on him now as Jaz and Anthony are both plotting to bring him down.

What would happen if all the traitors get banished?

Would they need to do another roundtable where Claudia would choose 3 new traitors?

So surely it’s better for Harry to keep his head down and use Paul as a shield?

A agree, if suspicion is building around Paul then Harry's best bet is to let it happen slowly as if Jaz and Anthony are fixated on him then they aren't looking at Harry.

I feel that after last night's emotion from Harry (which I do believe is genuine) then he is very safe going forward unless he does something to attract suspicion.

Last series the traitors had the opportunity to recruit, I think it was offered to one person who was given the option of joining and refused. And then shortly after they got another choice to recruit someone, who wasn't given an option to refuse.

If another traitor goes "too" early I reckon the remaining 2 will be given the chance to recruit someone new. And if they get down to 1 traitor before the closing stages then it will be another forced recruitment.

Exactly this. Whilst Paul is around he is a shield for Harry and taking all the attention.

Oh yes. She, er, leads from the front, as it were. My wife sits there barking "Oh put them away woman, it's not Love Island! For pity's sake get her murdered!" laugh

May be proved wrong tonight but I don't think there's THAT much attention on Paul, just some.. and he's very good at deflecting.

I wouldn't trust the bloke at all and it means Harry could choose who came into the fold next time there's a recruitment. I deffo would have snaked Paul on that one if I was him, take some control.
