Get them before they get you. 22 strangers, one castle, £120k - Claudia Winkleman hosts the ultimate reality game of trust and treachery. Let the mind games begin.
Season 3 now airing in the UK.
I caught up with this show and am really disliking the 3 episodes per week format. ^shakes fist at BBC^ So now I won’t watch anymore until all eps have aired.
As of episode 6
Traitors
Armani got wayyyy too cocky and did far too much, oof, her days were numbered and it was only a matter of time before she came under fire. No surprise there.
The current surviving two traitors; Linda has only survived this long thanks to the faithful making emotional, rather than logical, decisions. Her card is marked, no way she’ll survive until the end. Minah plays her part very well in her interactions, however, her decisions are questionable. For example. I believe that her protecting Linda will come back to bite her later down the road. Together, they made horrible choices when it came to recruiting a new traitor and they were lucky that Anna declined.
Faithful
Too many decisions based on personality and/or emotions and not enough on logic or direct game-related behaviours. They only caught Armani because she as good as placed a ‘kick me’ note on her own back. Jake clocked on to Linda early doors but has allowed himself to be swayed elsewhere despite still suspecting Linda (based on her sharp head turn in ep 1 - which I pointed out to my OH at the time as being a dead giveaway). Some of the rationale used to vote off other faithfuls has been frankly laughable “he lied about/didn’t confess to something inconsequential to avoid harming his social game, therefore he must be a traitor” bahahahaha. I do like Alex (one of two late arrivals) and think he may prove valuable to the faithful. I don’t particularly like Fozia (the other late arrival), on a social note for me she’s too vocal, too opinionated and too dominant for someone who’s only just arrived which I find off-putting, however, on a gameplay note, I do think she seems to have good instincts if only she listens to them.
I’ll be back when the rest has been binged.
