Poor James. So convinced and so wrong. Faraz has really stirred it up. Rachel looked so uncomfortable coming under direct suspicion at last. I think if there is enough suspicion on Rachel, Stephen might go along with it, as it will be too dangerous for him to protect her. Until now I thought the faithfuls had no chance of winning, but Faraz might have changed that.

I think Alan won because he is so beloved and good company and his hiding in plain sight was actually genius as he was so consistent. I think the contestants know who the traitors are but are waiting until the end to banish them so they can stay safe.
I’m thinking of starting heated rivalry today but just know that it’ll be a huge addiction 😅

I think there’s definitely no issue with you not rushing with the reactions for the traitors. As much as I love the show, the three episodes a week are really intense and all encompassing. I find it hard to watch anything else when it’s on, I go to bed earlier usually but feel like I have to stay up and watch it live because otherwise I won’t be able to avoid spoilers.
I think the contestants know who the traitors are and are playing the long game to knock them out at the end. There’s no way that the Fiona and Harriet outbursts went unnoticed!
Also lost the plot with the traitors after stupidly binging your adolescence reactions yday so my heads the same as you can imagine!

I seriously needed this because I've been in a Heated Rivalry spiral since watching the show, and can't really get to anything that isn't a reaction to that show, but this was able to give me a respite from that growing obsession. So, regarding the actual show we just watched, Rachel was very smart this ep., and James really sqandered his dagger chance. So, it really does go down to Faaraz and Roxy, and either way can be used to the Traitors purpose. I did notice, however, that though Stephen had Rachel reiterate her promise, it did not reiterate is own promise, if indeed he ever formally promised not to vote for her anyway. I do find it fun when all the Faithfuls are full out gunning for other Faithfuls, so sure they are a Traitor. I have a friend and coworker who was recently able to watch the Celeb. Traitors and he was geninually annoyed that Alan won, because he felt that everyone suspected him, and he acted so suspicious, but it would just get laughed off, and he wouldn't get votes. It goes to show it could go either way. People have been going for Jade since the beginning, and she is a Faithful. If we get to the end and she is in the final, no one can be mad she was never banished, but had she been a Traitor, it would just be argued that it was stupid she didn't get voted with all the suspicions on her. People get swayed away from there suspicions, and those suspicions can be right on the nose, or way off, and you don't know until the reveal. Okay, guess I'm going to get sucked back into the Heated Rivalry rabbit hole until Unclocked is uploaded. Oh, and with the uploads, I don't mind a little wait, since with being able to watch along with you, as someone in the U.S., I can watch way earlier than others, so thanks for that!
