Zack is probably the only one laying in bed replaying the round table in his head and coming to the conclusion that Harry hugely overplayed his hand. Why did he go so full throttle and sound like he knew so much to the point that it appeared he had been in the room at the planning stage.
Kill Zack and those thoughts won't get aired at breakfast.

Jesus, Andrew is a wide eyed lamb to the slaughter. He’s going to get used and abused by the Goodfellas extra, there’s power in that pomade guys.

Andrew could be very dangerous. He was like a rabbit in the headlights for last nights episode, but once the shock wears off, he can plan his own strategy. Like someone mentioned, he’s got a great deflection from the dungeon episode, as no-one will believe the traitors put three of themselves in there.

Oh, I’d like to see Harry’s increasing hubris get the better of him and it’d be sweet if Andrew was the one but I get the impression he’s the sort that, how can I put it, laughs at the joke about a minute after everyone else has.

I'd still like Harry to win it, seems to be playing the best game so far. I was pissed off when he got rid of Jonny, but he did seem genuinely upset to me. Bit worried he went too far last night. With the exception of Zack, the faithful are probably too dense to have picked up on that though.

Definitely want Harry to win, it he's been a great Traitor up until maybe last night playing it perfectly.
Would love to see how people react to him revealing he's a Traitor and taking the money.

Especially when its in the interests of the traitors to stack the final with absolute morons.
Last nights Uncloaked was probably the best so far too. The bonus extras on BBC Sounds were double length and good fun too. Wilf was the perfect guest for getting incite into the Paul situation.
Interesting hearing Paul’s take on things now he’s got a little distance on it too.

Worst thing about the traitors is the butchering of songs into dodgy covers.
Could do without those!

The covers seem to be a new thing generally. I wonder if it’s a way of sidestepping some payments/royalties.

Probably, they just just use some generic composed music and it would be fine.

I think they should just play Wicked Game by Chris Isaak over and over again.

Was one of them Bad to the Bone the other night?
I quite like that they’ll just slip some regular Massive Attack or Portishead in between the covers

The covers just seem like they're targeting a YA demographic to me, like teeny-aimed goth films. At least Teardrop was the actual thing.
I wonder how it might work if, for one season, the audience didn't know who the traitors were (if that'd be possible)? It would make these convsersations a little different and we'd probably be just as bad at detecting/theorising who are the traitors.

The BBC's deal with the music industry is such they can pretty much use anything but while that's fine for UK broadcast they know this is going to other markets so they'd have to redo it so I guess they've decided to use some music sparingly.

Breathy covers is quite a reality tv staple too judging from the stuff mrs simple watches so its playing into a wider trend too.
Keeping the traitors hidden even for the first week would probably be a great way of mixing it up in a future series once people start getting wise to the format.
Or maybe do some convoluted thing where they recruit a double agent and that’s hidden from us maybe?
We’d definitely get it wrong if we had to guess.

I'd love the chance to though.
Edit: glad I put that in this thread as I had the match thread open in another window and it would have caused all sorts of trouble haha.

The fun is being 'in the know' and watching how the traitors play.
Editing the show to make 'play at home' feasible would be a nightmare. Either you'd have to have a ludicrously long show so everyone got screentime, or they'd have to edit it to obfuscate/spoon feed the answers which I'm not sure would be satisfying.
But yes a single secret agent is a decent shout.

An experimental season, maybe a shorter one made up of previous contestants, could say there's three traitors and there's none at all.
Murders happen by random dice throw.
I'm beginning to think my old Paranoia GMing is showing a tad.

The thing about a secret agent is that I think it could play into something the Faithful always fall into even though it never happens - they look at who isn’t pulling their weight in tasks as potential Traitors.
The change to shields has added a slight element of it but its never been the case that someone is working against the players in the tasks.
The paranoia of suspecting someone might be could be an interesting twist and give the home audience a taste of the madness that would descend as you try to guess who it is.
Or you could even flip it to really fuck with them by it being a secret super faithful who the traitors have to try and identify. See how they like it up ‘em. Maybe the prize could be a cryptic clue for the faithful.
It’d probably happen a few series down the line when they need to really shake things up though. The human drama comes out of the game quite naturally and Rise & Fall has already shown how you can overcomplicate things.

I liked rise and fall. The scene where they destroyed the prize fund as they wouldn't agree was an amazing bit of TV.
