That leaves Imrie and the two Joes as the logical candidates for murder. Say it isn’t so. Any of those truly would be a blow to the Faithful.
Key castle stats
Best moment: The drama of that double dead heat at the Round Table. Unprecedented scenes.
Best quote: We enjoyed Stephen Fry’s breakfast glee (“Ooh, smoked salmon today. The staff are awfully good”), but the prize goes to his woodland rejoinder to Joe Wilkinson. When he said: “I’m going to sit on Vinnie Jones for £500”, Fry shot back: “It’s not often you hear that.”
Best Traitor: Jonathan Ross not only excelled at those woodland quiz questions but dodged a bullet yet again.
Best Faithful: Hard to call because they voted like headless chickens, but the two Joes look most likely to unmask a Traitor at last.
Winkleman wardrobe watch: That chic breakfast look of a slate-grey kilt and black cable-knit, accessorised with signature black belt and boots. A covetable brown overcoat was added for the forest mission. More strong work from stylist Sinead McKeefry – one of the hit show’s unsung heroes.
Prize pot: They bagged £7,000 out of £10,000 on the forest traps mission. This means the prize fund stands at £38,500 for the winner’s chosen charity out of a possible £51,000.
Body count: Another murder means it’s now three Traitors versus nine Faithful – and about to be eight. It’s a Highland massacre to rival Glencoe in 1692. OK, sort of.
Next up: Not so long to wait this time. Episode six airs on Thursday at 9pm and features a mission that requires the Faithful to get into the minds of a Traitor. Will it help them finally topple one? Meet you back here to break down all the Ardross action.
