Key castle stats
Best moment: It’s got to be that teasing reveal from Jonathan Ross. “I am now, and have been all through the game, completely Faithful… to the Traitors!” Cue cheers. “The most ridiculous bow-out ever,” said Joe Marler with grudging admiration.
Best quote: A tie between two Alan Carr gems. Adjusting his harness on the mission: “My testicles! I feel like a winner and a eunuch.” On the next murder: “I’ve always got to do the dirty work for these Traitors. I’m surprised they haven’t got me up in that turret with a Hoover, doing some light dusting.”
Best Traitor: Cat Burns, who calmly betrayed Jonathan Ross and has sailed serenely to the semi-final. Can her run continue?
Best Faithful: Celia Imrie is coming into her sleuthing powers at last. But has that made her a target?
Winkleman wardrobe watch: Her olive pea coat on the mission was the garment of the night until a late bid from that teal velvet tux at Round Table.
Prize pot: The full £10k was won in the rickety rope bridge mission, taking the prize fund to £53,500 out of a possible £66,000 for the winner’s chosen charity.
Body count: One murder and one Traitor banishment means it’s two Traitors versus five Faithful as we go into the semi-final. How do we like those odds?
Next up: Not long to wait for the penultimate episode. The semi-final airs on Thursday at 9pm. There’s dinner party drama and a mission where one mistake could cause heads to roll. The Faithful have one last Round Table to unmask another Traitor before the endgame. Meet you back here to unpick the castle conspiracies.
