How can it be this good already?!
Kyra was murdered – RIP, gone too soon and all that, but no time to dwell because oh my goodness what do we have here? Only a proper bombshell!
The episode started with some light-hearted filler chat between the players, ha ha people are saying Diane is Paul’s mum. They both have ginger hair, see, and they look alike, if you’re in a castle playing a game that makes you really paranoid. Diane laughs about it in her confessional, saying that of course Paul isn’t her son. BUT ROSS IS!!!!! Incredible. They've played such a good game of pretending not to know each other,
Ross then revealing that calling her Diane rather than mum is the hardest part. If they can keep this secret it’s dynamite – as they say, if one of them wins, they both win, and of course they can protect each other. Hopefully they won’t fold, like ridiculous Alex and Tom last year, who suddenly announced, apropos of literally nothing, that they were a couple, making everyone then wonder what else they were hiding. Maybe being Traitors?
The cast of The Traitors gather around the Round Table for a tense discussion (BBC)Elsewhere, the players talked themselves round in circles – those under suspicion included people who were too loud, people who were too quiet, people who were playing the game too much and people who weren’t playing the game enough. The mood at the Round Table was so fraught that Brian made a bizarre, non-grammatical outburst, blurting out that he’d like to know if people think, “I am a Traitor, or I amn’t.”

He then said he’d voted for someone only because he didn’t know who to write down, and he actually didn’t even think this person was a Traitor, before revealing that his board said Paul. (Accidental) Bingo! Obviously after making himself look utterly guilty – “I’m crumbling,” he proclaimed, needlessly – many voted for Brian, and it ended in a tie-break between him, Diane, and Traitor Ash.
Harry later told the cameras that Paul had then looked at him and raised his eyes, and he knew what he had to do. “Ash performed badly as a Traitor, and there are consequences,” Paul explained after they’d both turned on her. The second vote went down to the wire, with Brian and Ash scoring equally, and just one more person to go. The decider.
How awkward will it be if Ash survives, and Harry and Paul have to face her after betraying her? How stupid will it be if Brian got himself voted out all by himself, despite being entirely innocent? And why is next Wednesday so unbearably far away?!
