He's not funny. He would make the most annoying troll or smug expressions. Just walking around with his big baldilocks face as a self-appointed leader of the Faithfuls and to be honest, I'm still surprised that it took them 5 days before someone suspected him of being a Traitor (by David) when he was the most suspicious looking person in their batch.

Jonathan had played an excellent game to the point that banishing him so late in the show wasn't that satisfying imo. I'm so glad Alan saw right through him when he voted for Cat. I just did not find him entertaining as Faithful. He took it too seriously to the point that he did not look like he was enjoying it or that he was there for charity.

Alan had called him a "boulder". I agreed. He looks like a person or a man who would shove someone like Alan in the pavement and then put his headphones back in and then continue listening to an Andrew Tate podcast. I'm so sorry. I should be kinder about it as a non-UK fan of the show. Celebrity Traitors is my introduction to him and it was not a good one. I have a bad feeling about him.

I know that season 2 has only just started and this kind of stuff is pointless, but it’s fun!!

I’ve come up with a list of 21 celebrities (actors, presenters, musicians, comedians, etc.), with a good mix of ages, a few big names, and a few lesser-knowns that could make up a potential future cast.

Amelia Dimoldenberg
Andrew Garfield
Ben Fogle
Brian Cox (scientist, not actor, because I think he’d be more likely to say yes!)
David Tennant
Gabrielle
George Fouracres
Katherine Ryan
Laura Kenny
Lenny Henry
Letitia Wright
Lewis Capaldi
Liam Cunningham
Mark Gatiss
Max Fosh
Nicola Adams
Rowan Atkinson
Sara Cox
Shirley Ballas
Sienna Spiro
Zadie Smith

What do you think? And most importantly, who would you pick as the traitors?

...I'd go all-in on the fact that I’d been saying I wanted to be a Traitor before even entering the castle.

I’d say the whole thing, including seemingly mistakenly admitting that I WAS a Traitor after Claudia's selection, was part of my grand master plan. That I’d deliberately spent the entire pre-castle and selection period saying I wanted to be a Traitor because my actual plan was to go down as THE BEST FAITHFUL TRAITOR HUNTER EVER.

My plan?

To make the actual Traitors think I was one of them, in the hope that one of them would reveal themselves to me before the turret.

And you know what?

They did.

It was James Acaster.

James thought I was a Traitor, told me he was one, and then, after he went to the turret and realised I wasn't actually a Traitor, he got spooked and has been desperately trying to convince everyone I'm a Traitor ever since.

They banish James.

James is revealed as a Traitor.

I'm completely exonerated.

Until I inevitably mess it up again five minutes later.

It probably wouldn't work, and perhaps it'd break the Traitors' oath, but honestly, I think it's about the only way Richard could give himself even a small chance of escaping banishment after telling everyone he was one.

James Blunt has been amazing- and we’re only two eps in. He was absolutely spot on during the round table when he said, “sometimes the simplest theory is the correct one”… or something along those lines. He was spot on about what happened and how the traitors chose who would die and who become the 3rd traitor. He just obviously got the person very wrong. I thought that was the best faithful theory/decision-making process I’ve ever seen on the traitors. Absolute class!

Being a Faithful is about teamwork, I would be just as satisfied with banishing a bad faithful as I would a Traitor. In the case of Richard, one could argue that it's almost irrelevant whether or not he's a Traitor because his value as a Faithful is so low that they may as well banish him.

The gobsmacking revelation at the centre of the new series of The Celebrity Traitors hasn’t just come as a surprise to its faithful viewers, it caused the creators of the BBC hit series to reel in horror, according to one of its makers.

“We sat in the control room, watching from a distance, with hands over our faces, [thinking] ‘What is going to happen?’” said Mike Cotton, an executive producer.

“There are no producers in the castle talking to contestants or trying to shape the show. So we don’t really have any control over anything, except in the way we plan the season and the set pieces. And you couldn’t have planned for that.”

Saw this today from Hannah Fry about using maths to find traitors. Really clever stuff

I really, really hope that she doesn't get murdered too early!

The 3 names Richard gave as under his suspicion are basically just totally in the clear as Faithfuls once Richard is banished on Thursday aren't they.

Surely a huge windfall for the Faithful as it narrows it down considerably for them.

U think Traitors will/should recruit one of those 3?

I understand that celeb traitors is huge and can easily do numbers on a Friday night, but I miss going into the office the day after it airs and everyone talking about it.

Even the Thursday ep, nobody is in our office on a Friday!
