James Blunt is so coming across so well in this #CelebrityTraitors

The cognitive load is so visible on all these three: James less jokes; Maya poor decision-making; Hannah unmerited energy and worry - she should be relieved and puzzled if nothing happened. Can Hannah play it as though her change in energy is increased detective calculations? #CelebrityTraitors

The line is - if they'd recruited *anyone*, both would walk in. And if there's suspicion on Hannah, it makes sense to leave her in so everyone would banish her. Acaster and Maya have really thrown Hannah under a bus tho haven't they? #CelebrityTraitors

Maybe James voting for Hannah will protect her from murder? Could even be a strategic naming. Really want those two to get their heads together #CelebrityTraitors

Have been waiting for something like this from @fryrsquared.bsky.social! (Have worked a lot on the science of the Traitors, & Bayes' theorem.) Enigma code way to predict who wins #CelebrityTraitors: www.youtube.com/watch?v=twDv... ♥️ (Can't wait for the tracking from @standupmaths.bsky.social too)

How would Alan Turing have played the Traitors?

I'm ill at mo and spending all day in bed, but even I can't get hyped about the outcome of this round table. Foregone conclusion surely? Romesh now the leader of the faithfuls - so conclusive #CelebrityTraitors

Hannah playing it dumb so well, warm with REG, yeah-ing with Maya's 'Ross Kemp's the only one i can go for' 😆👏 Class act. #CelebrityTraitors

To be clear I absolutely love #JamesAcaster's persona and material too so whilst you could call the choice a lose:lose you could also call it a win:win for the viewer - either will be great telly in the turret #CelebrityTraitors

My teacher brother has just informed me that his primary school kids now refer to anything shit or old fashioned as "Brexit". Which has made my morning.

Is this some kind of recreation of Rubio and Vance having to defend Trump after slating him so much? #CelebrityTraitors

James looks pretty meltdown-ish in the selection. Maybe this is where they stopped filming, he said he didn't wanna do it & they said just spin a line for the tension then you can go. Amol would be so much better, but he did appear slightly more in the edit, implying he leaves 😢 #CelebrityTraitors

(Now want Amol to stay in even more as there's an awful racist backlash against him on here #CelebrityTraitors)

000

Love James Blunt in this. Awesome casting. Hope he's end-game. #CelebrityTraitors

Love both. Gutting to lose either. But I think #Amol's game is the most appropriate and compelling for this. If he goes it's a kick in the face for the producers IMO #CelebrityTraitors

110

Richard's a bit excitable and emotionally vulnerable #CelebrityTraitors

They have to use the 'Richard killing them would be too obvious' defence. #CelebrityTraitors

130

Yeah should've been a sacrificial lamb - Ross murdered to divert attention onto Bella. They're not ruthless. They need a cool strategic head in the turret. Someone who knows the importance of early randomising #CelebrityTraitors

I would def keep Amol and get rid of James. But I think they'll fear the immediate finger-point of getting rid of James #CelebrityTraitors

000

James is so readable. It would be like me being a traitor #CelebrityTraitors

James gave a great defence but losing Amol at this stage would be too huge a loss #CelebrityTraitors

100

Acaster didn't even want to be a traitor - maybe he'll just concede... 🤷‍♀️ #CelebrityTraitors

000

IMO only way to get the heat off is to recruit Amol. He's the strongest presenter of logic at present. Unbelievably persuasive and apparently conclusive. #CelebrityTraitors

000

Ross Kemp's paranoia *is* painting him as an out-and-out faithful. Useful. #CelebrityTraitors

000

Thing is if Richard is a traitor you'd wanna stay close to him and vote him out near the end. He's signed his own banishment warrant for some point, surely #CelebrityTraitors

If Amol goes for him they might recruit him... I think Amol's clocked that already #CelebrityTraitors

000

Hannah Fry is such excellent casting for this #CelebrityTraitors

I would pick Joe and Sebastian at this point, and choose Joe #CelebrityTraitors

000

Maybe they're going to recruit Joe to cover the proponent of Richard's mistake? #CelebrityTraitors

Parody Nigel Farage @parodypm.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Probably would favour: Romesh (would be amazing - might be called out), Bella (would stay in a long time), Joanne (proper end game), Richard E Grant (really wants it - would be great) #CelebrityTraitors

Just because I strongly oppose any measure to tackle Russian misinformation, doesn’t mean I’m on Russia's side. In unrelated news, one of the few times I bothered turning up for work as an MEP was to vote AGAINST measures to tackle the spread of Russian misinformation...

Just absolutely adore #Ludwig. Funny, cosy, eccentric logic. About the limit of trauma I can tolerate whilst still enjoying the show. After bingeing the remainder I started #TheBeastInMe. Superb and gripping, but I've had to read the rest of the plot ahead on Wikipedia to quell my visceral anxiety

Why do BBC headlines always seem to be "What Reform says about what's happening", not "What is actually happening"?!

@aoc.bsky.social extremely admirable, and impressively in touch with the public and the times, in documenting her #eggfreezing process on Instagram 👏 🙌 #aoc #alexandriaocasiocortez

Getting financial aid in the media industry (bursaries etc.) requires such invasion of privacy that applicants may not record every factor in applications. Another levy on being working class in the media.

Whilst the editorial choices made for this interpretation of #TheOdyssey stand up to scrutiny, I do think a trick was missed. Tom O'Bedlam's narration of Ulysses by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, should have been laid over the final scene/closing credits m.youtube.com/watch?v=jqag...

So lovely watching last night's #WorldCupfinal! Great result for England! So glad we didn't have any of Trump's trashy gold chintz in such an important global event 😆

(I would've subbed on #Saka after the first goal. Love him. #ENGARG)

I'm not 100% sure our "sit back in the box and let them constantly shoot while we're one goal ahead" tactic is entirely foolproof, lads.

That didn't look like a corner...? #ENGARG
