This episode begins as usual with Claudia giving us a rundown of what has happened in past episodes.
As you may remember, Claudia informed the traitors that they will not be murdering last night. Instead, they will choose three players, which could include a traitor, to be put to trial.
They will then decide tomorrow which one of those three players will be murdered.
Claudia will announce who the three players are at breakfast tomorrow.
Amanda says to camera that they really have to get strategic about this now.
Alyssa says that they have to choose wisely and think about the repercussions.
She thinks that a lot of people will start to relax and start listening and watching closely to see which of their friends has protected them.
Will says that he would like to put himself up as he feels under pressure at the moment.
Amanda counteracts this by saying that once the group realise that the traitors can put one of themselves on trial, they’re going to look even more at Will.
Alyssa doesn’t think it’s safe to put Will up.
She says they can put someone up who they think would protect themselves.
They decide to go with Ivan, Alex and John.
Breakfast
Tom and Alex are the first two in to the breakfast room.
They take this brief moment to share a hug and share their opinions about who they think are the traitors.
They both tend to lean towards Ivan and Hannah.
Then Matt walks in. He says that he walks through to door to see Alex and was so happy to see her.
Next to enter are Meryll, Rayan, Will and Hannah.
Will thinks that he got a bit too cocky yesterday and it tripped him up so he won’t be doing that again.
Theo then comes through the door, followed by Aaron and Fay.
Everyone is asking how Aaron is today and he says he feels really drained right now but has a smile on his face.
Then its time for Alyssa, Ivan and Maddy.
The group say that they’re waiting for John, Andrea and Amanda thinking that one of them has been murdered.
Next to come in is Andrea and Paul. The group think that Amanda has been murdered.
Everyone says that they knew Amanda was a faithful and start to become upset.
Alyssa says to camera that she knew Amanda would walk through the door, but she had to pretend to be sad like the rest of the faithful’s.
Maddy says its because she voted for Imran and the traitors are literally trying to cover their backs so it makes her even more suspicious of Will.
Will says to camera that Maddy has identified him as one of the traitors but for all the wrong reasons and he’s struggling how to play it.
Maddy says they should play it tactically and vote for Will. If he is a traitor, that means Aaron is one too.
Paul says that he agrees 100%.
He then points at Aaron and says that he should have gotten an Oscar for his performance last night.
Amanda walks through the door and everyone is in shock. There are audible gasps as no-one expected her to walk in.
Ivan cries out “There’s another traitor! They’ve hired a new one.”
Matt asks if there’s three or four and Ivan replies that there’s more than there was and that they’re winning.
Claudia enters the room.
She informs the group that the traitors did meet last night and have put three players on trial as their target for the next murder.
They will be watching those that are on trial all day and tonight will choose one of them to be murdered.
Those that are on trial are Ivan, Alex and John.
John says no surprise there.
Alex asks if a traitor can put another traitor on trial.
Claudia confirms they can and Ivan says he can guarantee that one of the other two are a traitor.
Alex retaliates and says she’s a f***ing faithful.
As Claudia leaves, Aaron starts asking Ivan if he’s ok and Ivan breaks down.
Maddy and John inform the group that the chosen three are all faithful and that the traitors have done it to deflect.
Tom agrees and says that Alex is definitely a faithful.
John asks everyone to put his name on the slate at the round table to prove he’s a faithful and says that he’s taking one for the team. He storms out with Maddy following him.
Amanda says she 100% doesn’t think it’s John.
Maddy follows John into a room and says to him that they must put Will’s name on the slate tonight to get him out.
Everyone is extremely thrown by this morning’s turn of events and Tom says he just panicked and knew he had to lay all his cards on the table at the moment.
He stands up and gets everyone’s attention to tell them that Alex isn’t a traitor straight up because she’s his girlfriend.
He continues that they came in there as a couple to try and find traitors, she is 100% a faithful and he is 100% a faithful.
Matt stands there looking shocked.
Tom continues that he thinks Ivan is a traitor.
Maddy jumps in and accuses Tom of barking up the wrong tree.
As tension rise, Will puts his hands to head and says “oh my f***ing God!” and Hannah exclaims “what the f*** is going on?!”
Tom continues his tirade and says that Hannah and Ivan are the traitors.
Hannah can’t believe it and gets angry with Tom accusing him of lying straight to them for three days.
Tom carries on and says that they will lose a faithful tonight but now they all know the truth and they should get Ivan out.
John makes the “T” sign with his hands and asks everyone to calm down.
Alex stands up and says that it wasn’t an easy decision to make to not tell everyone. They just didn’t want people to think they already had an alliance.
Matt is looking extremely miserable at this point.
Matt says that they’ve lied to him the entire time and that makes his suspicious of both of them.
Alex says to camera that she did feel bad for Matt as she thought they had a nice friendship and that he could trust her.
Seeing his reaction to the news that her and Tom are together hurt her a lot.
Fay starts to comfort Matt who is soon joined by Aaron.
Maddy says that she wants to say sorry to Matt because she thought him and Alex were getting on great.
Matt says it isn’t that, it’s just that he hates being lied to.
Tom asks how does he think he feels when he sees him with his girlfriend all the time.
Amanda shouts “Guys! What are we doing! We’ve got to stop this or else we’re never going to find the traitors”.
To camera she says that they couldn’t have picked a better pawn to put up. They didn’t know this huge secret was going to come out and now no-one trusts them.
Everyone leaves the breakfast room and breaks off into little groups.
We see Hannah in the library with Maddy, Amanda, Theo and Paul.
She is visibly upset and says she hates being lied to so doesn’t trust them now.
Outside of the castle, on the patio are Meryll, Alyssa, Aaron and Rayan. Matt approaches them.
Aaron asks if Matt is ok, how he’s feeling and gives him a hug.
Matt says to camera that his brain is now doing overtime. He gets why they lied but it’s so upsetting.
Rayan says that one of Alex or Tom is a traitor and that it’s likely to be Alex as she’s the more intelligent.
Aaron agrees that it’s probably Alex.
We then see Alex and Tom outside of the castle in a different area.
Tom is wondering how they’re going to fix it but also asks if the others are going to get rid of the two people that are being open and honest or the people that are still being quiet.
They then start discussing traitors again. Alex doesn’t think it’s Ivan anymore, she says Alyssa, she thinks she’s in over her head.
They walk and enter the lounge where we see Maddy, Hannah, Amanda, Theo, Paul, Fay and Andrea.
Amanda immediately says that she doesn’t trust them and can’t be in the same room as them and leaves.
After a brief discussion, Alyssa appears, and Tom takes her to one side to explain to her that Ivan is playing a good game.
Alyssa says she doesn’t think they’re dumb enough to put themselves on trial. She thinks they’re a step ahead.
Tom replies “Dumb enough? Smart enough? They get the choice!”
Alyssa says “no, I think they would have thought that as soon as….”
Tom interrupts her with “unless you’re a traitor.”
Alyssa quickly continues with her theory.
Tom says “you didn’t say you’re not a traitor.”
Alyssa says “I’m not a traitor. I think you’d know if I was”.
Tom notices an eye twitch and says “Ooh, an eye twitch there, that’s normally a lie. Careful!”
Ivan then appears and Tom turns his attention to him.
He says that the thing that gave away that Ivan is a traitor was his facial touches.
Ivan says that he is a fidgeter. When he’s anxious, he constantly moves.
Tom then says to prove himself, he should vote Hannah tonight.
Ivan doesn’t agree with this. He doesn’t believe that Hannah is a traitor and will not vote for her.
MISSION TIME
Claudia voices over and informs us that it’s time to add some money to the all important prize pot.
She explains todays mission.
Ivan, Alex and John are the team captains.
Ivan’s hand shot up to pick first and immediately chose Tom. He wanted him on his team for two reasons; he wanted to keep him away from Alex and he wanted to keep him close to him.
Alex chose Matt first because the guilt was eating away at her.
John chose Fay first.
The three team captains kept choosing people until everyone was on a team.
Ivans Team
Tom
Alyssa
Will
Andrea
Rayan
Alex’s Team
Matt
Theo
Amanda
Meryll
Johns Team
Fay
Aaron
Hannah
Maddy
They all get into their respective jeeps and head off to a farm.
In one of the jeeps is Ivan, Maddy, Amanda and Rayan.
Ivan says that he thinks they’re doing sheep trials as they’re going to a farm, Claudia was wearing wool, and three of the players are on trial.
In another of the jeeps are Will, Tom, Ayssa in the back and Andrea in the front.
Tom says that he knows who one of the traitors is, although he hasn’t called them out yet because he wants them to go far in the game.
He says its time the traitors don’t back each other up so much because they’re going to highlight themselves like a sore thumb at the round table.
He knows they’re in the car with him but that they have to play the game smart if they’re going to go further.
He says “you know who you are, you need to give up one of your own traitors. That’s a selfish thing but that’s what this game is. Think about it”.
The jeeps arrive at the farm to greet a pen full of sheep with the players names on.
The team captains will nominate a player from their team to go into the pen while the remaining players describe a particular sheep.
The person in the pen has to work out which sheep they’re describing.
Everyone starts laughing and Claudia quips that “as they had quite a tense morning, they’re now playing a sheep identity parade”.
For every correctly guessed sheep, the players will win £1,000. There are three rounds are they’re all looking for the same sheep.
Whichever teams wins gets to play a bonus round with the chance of adding a further £1,000 to the prize fund.
Matt, Aaron and Will are the first three players in the pen.
The first sheep is Maddy. Ivan and Alex’s team get it correct.
The second trio in the pen are Andrea, Alex and Maddy.
Claudia adds some traitor sheep into the mix.
The second sheep is Andrea. Johns team and Ivans team guess correctly.
For the final round, Alyssa, Hannah and Theo enter the pen.
Claudia adds ten more traitor sheep.
The third sheep is Matt and all players guess correctly.
They have made £7,000 so far. As Ivan’s team guessed the most correctly in the fastest time, they get the bonus round.
If they can herd all the sheep into the castle pen within 2 minutes, another £1,000 will be added to the pot.
Unbelievably, the team managed to do it within 31 seconds!
Therefore, today’s total prize money stands at £8,000.
Everyone heads back to the castle for dinner.
Matt asks Alex to go for a chat.
Alex says that even if Tom wasn’t in the picture she would have hung out with Matt regardless as she thinks he’s amazing and she wants to be friends outside of the game.
Matt thinks that they played him quite well. Alex disputes this.
Alex still feels like she can trust Matt, but Matt thinks that Alex has broken that trust.
On a personal level, he says he still wants to be mates and it ends with a hug.
Before going into the roundtable, Tom is still trying to convince everyone about his theory and trying to get them to banish Ivan.
He goes into the library with Fay to try to convince her.
To camera he says that he thinks Alyssa is a traitor but he’s not telling anyone that.
Alyssa is sitting in another room with Meryll, Will and Aaron. She says to camera that she knows Tom is onto her so she is trying to keep him onside.
She says to the people in the room that she thinks Hannah is a traitor, but Meryll disagrees.
The Round Table
Claudia welcomes everyone back to the roundtable and says that the total prize pot now stands at £39,700.
Ivan, Alex and John have been on trial all day. One of them will be murdered tonight but before that, a banishment.
Discussions need to be had, so who would like to start.
Matt starts by saying that quite a lot of them know he got upset this morning and that was because the way we spoke to each other was disgusting.
If this was anywhere else, we wouldn’t have spoken to each other like that and so much happened in 5 minutes, he couldn’t deal with it.
Andrea agrees with Matt.
Fay asks why those three are up for murder. One of them could be a faithful and two could be traitors, one could be a traitor and two faithful’s or three faithful’s.
Ivan says he can eliminate one of those options because if two of them were traitors and the innocent person was banished now, they’d have to murder one of their own.
He goes on to say that there is maximum one traitor amongst the three and he knows who it is.
He thinks it’s Alex because she’s quieter than John or himself.
Tom calls out Hannah and Ivan.
He instructs Hannah to vote for Ivan and then if Ivan is a faithful, she’ll be safe.
Hannah refuses and says that she’s not going to have him tell her to vote for.
Maddy says she is going to vote for Will tonight as after he voted for Aaron last night, Aaron had a panic attack because he was shocked that another traitor could vote for him.
Alex says she not accusing but Alyssa is very quiet.
Alyssa says she knew her name was going to come up because she is quiet.
Tom speaks up and asks if anyone else thinks Alyssa is a traitor. Everyone says no.
Tom says to camera that he does think she’s a traitor, but he has a feeling he can manipulate her into keeping him in.
It’s time to vote.
Meryll starts. She says she didn’t have a name to start, but after hearing all the points has voted Ivan
Will – Ivan
Hannah – Alex
Rayan – Alex
Matt – Ivan
Fay – Alex
Ivan – Alex
Theo – Alex
Tom – Ivan
Maddy – Will
Alyssa – Hannah
John – Ivan
Andrea – Hannah
Alex – Ivan
Aaron – Alex
It all comes down to Amanda’s vote.
Find out in the next episode who has been banished!
