The Traitors episode six - 'A game so evil it can make a mother doubt her son'
What more could you ever need to know about the paranoia levels The Traitors induces in its players than this: tonight a mother started to suspect her own son.
“There’s one per cent of me that’s not one hundred per cent certain Ross isn’t a Traitor,” Diane confessed, confusingly on a couple of different levels.
Earlier, the group had waited to see who'd met their maker overnight so wouldn’t be coming to breakfast. Paul was asked what he would have done if he was a Traitor and immediately said he’d have killed Diane, so it wasn’t a huge surprise when she walked through the door a minute later. See what he did there?
We were treated to a flashback of clairvoyant Tracy discovering she’d been murdered and reasoning that it was because her gift made her too dangerous, before admitting she didn’t know who the Traitors were. Bye girl bye.
Claudia then arrived for an uncharacteristically stern pep talk, aka with absolutely no pep in it. “You’re half way through the game. You’ve lost seven Faithful and got rid of only one Traitor. Bit embarrassing,” she snapped.

The mission wasn't until that evening, so the rest of the day consisted of people talking about other people, often just as those people walked into the room. What’s the word for a group of awkward silences? Awkward silencii? Everyone was grasping at straws, accusing players because they said too much and too little.
Harry said he often looks at Zak and thinks, “That’s such a Traitorish thing to do,” which actually sounded entirely logical in the midst of such ridiculous discussions. Also ludicrous is the oft quoted – heck, ALWAYS quoted – defence, “I’m 100% Faithful.” Like some people are 70/30?
At the Round Table, Jasmine shut down Jaz’s concerns about Paul, instead raising Anthony’s name. He reacted badly – furious at being accused, but because he was Faithful, rather than what everyone else thought. The angrier he got, the guiltier he looked, and by the time everybody was voting for him, he looked like he might actually start murdering people for real.
Once Ant was gone – 8 Faithful out, 1 Traitor, tut tut – Claudia threw Paul, Mailes and Harry a curveball. Their secret mission was that instead of meeting in secret later to decide who was murdered, they’d have to do it in plain sight. Then they’d have to find a poisoned chalice hidden inside three Shakespeare books in the library and whoever’s lips touched it would be done for. “This is chaos,” grinned Paul.
What followed was worse than that. Somehow the three Traitors managed to sneak out to the fire pit unnoticed – as far as we know, anyway - and have a quick conversation about what to do and how to do it. It sounds like the set up to a joke, but you wouldn’t believe how long it takes three men to find three books in a library when they’re all panicking someone else is going to come into the room and find then.
Eventually they managed though, and then Miles – who’d been bartending that night (in the castle, not sneaked out to moonlight at a local bar) – was given the job of handing it over. He poured it full of wine, and then announced he’d made a mistake, it was fizzy and he’d prefer normal wine.
Would anyone like to swap? And then an apparently famously fizzy wine loving person said yes please and swapped glasses with him. And that person was Diane. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
