- PAUL HENRY: Previously on the Traitors —
22 players descended on my stately southern manor
to play the ultimate murder mystery game
in the hope of winning up to $100,000
in solid silver,
but concealed among them are the traitors.
Who claimed Wiremu as their second victim...
- Oh. - It's Wiremu.
- ...before one traitor set her sights on another...
- It's Whitney versus Brittany.
- ...while a fellow traitor may have been uncovered.
- I'm not gonna look you in the eye, because I actually don't want confirmation.
- ...and by nightfall, the accusations were flying...
- Jackie, you were a disruptor.
- I've got a feeling it's the both of you.
- You're dodging Molly's name.
- You'd made a fact, and not one person in this room could back it up.
- And you went, 'Watch your back. People are coming after you.' - Wow.
- ...but in the end, there were just two names.
- Molly.
- Jackie. - Jackie.
- Molly. - Molly.

(TENSE MUSIC)
- We are eight all
for Molly and Jackie.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Whitney. - (SIGHS)
- Who have you voted for?
(TENSE MUSIC)
- SHAKILY: Jackie.
- Jackie, you have received the most votes.
You are banished from the game.
Please come and join me.
Jackie, before you leave the game forever,
please reveal if you were faithful or a traitor.
- Never say no to anything.
Take every opportunity,
cos your dreams come true.
And here in this room, my dream came true at 70 years old.
And I didn't come here to (BLEEP) spiders,
but I did come
to be a traitor.
(ALL YELL)
- Yes!
- (CHEERS) - Yes!
- I've just proven to the entire group that I'm here to hunt traitors.
- Can I give you a hug? I want a mum hug.
- I followed my intuition on Jackie...
I knew it! I knew it! - And I had to talk to you.
The way you spoke, there's no way in hell...
You're 100% faithful. - Yeah, no.
I called her out, and we caught her. She was a traitor.
- Ah! - Whoo!
(LAUGHS) Absolutely elated.
- Well done, faithfuls.
It's the traitors licking their wounds tonight.
I think we all know how they are going to respond.
Ta-ta. (APPLAUSE)
- Oh! - Whoo!
- Holy sh... - God.
I literally was the deciding vote, which was brilliant.
She didn't defend herself well enough.
- Yeah. No, no, it made sense, like...
- It just gave me the easiest out. So thank you, Jackie.
I will be there to direct your funeral when the time comes.
Please, please don't be mad at us.
- I need to give Whit a hug.
Oh. - I'm still here.
Oh, I'm probably gonna get murdered, but... Oh, we got her.
- I know that.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
- LAUGHS: No way.
(LAUGHTER)
- I am feeling really overwhelmed.
I was super reactive in the way that I spoke to Donna.
Do you notice she kept looking at me and going...
- Exactly. I know she was. - Yeah. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
- So manipulative. It's (BLEEP) traitor as shit. - I know.
So I'm a little bit worried about the consequences of that decision.
(SOBS, SNIFFS)
WHISPERS: Just keep your cool.
- I'm scared. - You can do it.
- She's intimidating. (INHALES SHARPLY)
- CHUCKLES: Go for gold. - I will.
- Today I've been outspoken.
- Huh? - (LAUGHS)
- Who's been outspoken, sorry? - Us. Us. Us. Group. Group. Group.
- So you think you're getting murdered cos you've been outspoken?
- So have I. (CHUCKLES)
Donna. - No, I'm not talking to you. - OK.
- Not tonight. - OK. That's all good.
- There was no need for what you did.
- Right. That's all good. I'll take a moment as well. It's all good.
(FOOTSTEPS RECEDE)
- DONNA: I know that if I have a chat with Brie right now,
that it is not going to be a mature chat.
All I'm saying, guys, is I literally did not even raise her name in that room tonight.
I want to be able to have a chat with Brie
when both of us
have had a sleep
if we are there in the morning.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(BELL TOLLS)
(HAUNTING MUSIC)
- Wow, that was intense. - CHUCKLES: That was amazing. - Wow.
Oh, the round table was quite a shock.
I wasn't expecting that at all.
- Donna and Brie going at each other.
- Oh. - That just escalated really fast.
- Oh, yeah. - That was beautiful. I really enjoyed that.
(ALL LAUGH)
Britt got upset. Molly got upset.
Donna was upset.
I think it worked out perfectly for our game.
- But I'm proud of us and the fact that all three of us voted for Jackie.
At the end of the day, we recruited her... - Yeah.
- ...for the very reason of what just happened tonight. - Yeah.
- It's all going to plan. - It is. It is. - Yeah.
(KNOCK ON DOOR) - (GASPS) Eh? - Oh.
(TENSE MUSIC)
- Hello. - Oh, hello.
- Some news —
there will be no murder tonight.
My estate gravediggers have all phoned in sick last minute — very frustrating.
You must choose three players to replace them.
They can be faithfuls or traitors. It's entirely up to you. - Interesting.
- When you come to murder tomorrow night, you must select your victim from one of those three.
The chosen player will be laid to rest in a grave of their own digging.
This is good, isn't it? Isn't it good? It's good, isn't it? (ALL LAUGH)
- It's great. Yeah. - Yes. Now, you must choose quickly
and wisely.
- It's a shame not to murder, but I think it's gonna create a lot of confusion.
So I'm a very happy traitor.
(ALL LAUGH)
(DELICATE MUSIC)
(BIRDS CHIRP)
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
(DOOR OPENS)
- Oh, first in. (ALL LAUGH)
I knew from day one that Jackie was a traitor.
Honestly, I didn't think I was coming to breakfast at all.
She was my guardian angel protecting me from murder.
But she's gone. She can't help me any more.
So I am ready to spill.
Jackie said something to me
on the first morning after breakfast,
and she said, 'I told them
'if you were murdered, I was leaving too.'
Our objective is to get traitors... - Absolutely.
- ...but that's not much use if I go home because my guardian angel's left.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
(ALL CHEER) - Oh, yes. Thank God.
You're winning. You're winning. - Hey.
Maybe—
- No, I won't.
- No, no. Absolutely no.
How are you? - How are you this morning?
- Hello. - So good to see you, darl.
- Do you notice Jackie's got a black— - LAUGHS: I know. Isn't that crazy?
- Oh, cos she's a traitor. - Cos She's a (SINGS) 'traitor'.
- The faithfuls got what they wanted last night. They got a traitor.
I can't believe it. I was totally blindsided by Jackie.
- And honestly, I have to say, mad respect. - Oh my God.
- If you hadn't gone with your actual heart,
then Molly wouldn't be here right now... - That gut of yours.
- ...and we'd still have a traitor among us. - Yeah, we'd still have a traitor.
- I have a diploma in performing arts.
It seems to be coming in quite useful 20 years later. (LAUGHS)
(CHATTER)
- What's this? - Hmm? - What? What?
- There's three.
- Oh, I didn't even—
I didn't even see those.
- Oh, yeah. - Yay! My boy. (LAUGHS) (CHEERING)
- Hello. - Oh, Britt.
- Oh. Thank God.
- I was surprised to be targeted at the round table last night.
How are ya? - Well, how are you doing?
- Yeah, good. - You all right?
- I absolutely hated sitting there and crying in front of everyone, but I wasn't alone.
We had four people crying. - I know. I looked around. - It was quite a lot.
The emotion also got the better of Brie.
- God, why did I yell at Donna like a fricking 5-year-old?
- Yeah, that was zero to 100. - That a lot. Yeah.
Donna's reaction to me trying to talk it out with her was, um,
pathetic.
I really want to talk to her, cos I feel like it was just uncalled for.
So today will be really interesting
to see how it plays out.
- Is someone coming?
(CHEERING) Yes! Yay! Yay!
Yay!
- Noel! - Noel? - Oh my God.
- Is Ben gone? - No, no, no, no. - Ben!
- Is he gone? - Who? - Jane.
Oh, no. Jane. - Jane or Ben?
- Oh my God. - There's one chair left, though.
- Jane or Ben.
- If Ben's gone, I'm leaving. I just I can't do it without him.
I'm really frustrated, because I got three votes at the round table last night.
I've actually got a list of people I need to sort my shit out with, because I'm still under suspicion.
- Do we know that someone's been murdered?
- How many chairs are left? There's only one, right? And we're still waiting on two people.
- Oh, OK.
Did they murder last night
and then w-will recruit tonight?
- WHITNEY: Stephen gets quite distracted easily, and he's not actually terribly focussed sometimes.
Can we use that to our advantage?
- No way.
- I'm a little bit safe with my strategy at the moment,
but if I see an opportunity, I'll grab it and take it.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(KNOCK ON DOOR) - Oh my God.
(CHEERING)
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
(CHEERING) - What?
- Oh! - What? - Yay! No, it's—
(CURIOUS MUSIC)
- Clearly there was no murder last night.
- Hello. - Are we all here? - Yeah, we're all here. Yeah.
- I have no idea what's going on, really.
- Everyone's shaking. - Oh my God, my heart's pounding.
- I definitely thought that maybe Ben wasn't coming this morning.
Sup, bro. - Hello.
- And then when they both turned up, I was like, 'Whoa,
'this game is getting crazy.'
- Oh, I'm shaking like a leaf. - I know. Me too.
- That's horrible.
- This game is a spiral.
- I am straight up not having a good time.
(CHATTER, LAUGHTER)
Good morning, good morning. Good morning, players.
How curious. And what a beautiful morning it is too.
Zsazsa and I have been for a quick 10k-er around the perimeter. (LAUGHTER)
Pretty obvious there wasn't a murder last night.
Not an administrative error.
You see, I have an employment issue right at the moment.
Some valuable staff have gone off sick.
I need replacements.
So last night, I made the traitors choose three of you.
Noel,
you were selected.
- We were faithfuls, would we think there would be one traitor in there at least?
- I... - I would. - I would.
- ...believe so. - Yeah. - Yeah.
- My first name that comes to my head is Noel.
I think Noel's got a bit of heat on him at the moment,
and we can absolutely help to spread that narrative.
- Brie,
you were selected.
- She got quite heated at the table tonight. - She did get heated.
- Be good to put her in the spotlight.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. - Yeah.
- And...
Andrew.
- Good call, Mike. Good call. - That's a really— That's a good call, Mike. Yeah.
- I like it. - And I think Andrew, cos he's had a little bit of heat on him.
- The faithful will suspect that there is a traitor amongst them.
So everyone's gonna be focussed on those three.
- The three of you will not take part in today's mission.
Instead, you will spend the day
in my garden
digging a grave.
I guess I should mention that the plot will eventually belong
to one of the three of you.
- (GASPS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
- PAUL: Noel. Brie.
Andrew.
You will spend the day in my garden
digging a grave.
I guess I should mention that the plot will eventually belong
to one of the three of you. (ALL GASP)
Which one? That will be decided tonight by the traitors.
- The fact that there's a one-in-three chance of me being murdered has completely thrown me.
It's just not what I expected today.
- You can grab a handful of grapes as you go. It's pretty isolated out there by the cemetery.
- But it's the game. I've just got to go hard,
dig that grave, and hope that it's not for me.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
- The rest of you will complete today's mission without them.
I need you to split into three teams right now. Each team must choose a leader.
- Three teams. How many... - From me down?
- The missions are super important, because it just gives you a chance
to work with people that maybe you haven't worked with or talked to before.
- How many to a group? - Five.
- And each and every one is a potential traitor.
So Whitney, Siale and Jason, are you leaders? - Yes.
- All right, Whitney, I'll get you to come and join me first.
- I don't know what's underneath the lids, but my anxiety is going through the freaking roof.
- As you are the first team leader to come up, you have the greatest choice.
Any one you like.
(TENSE MUSIC)
- This one here. - Off you go.
- Oh! - Delectable.
I think we can see it's a foot. - (CHUCKLES)
Hell no.
No, no, I'm not ingesting anything like that.
- All right, Siale, you have the choice of two.
(ALL EXCLAIM)
- Eyeball! - Eyeball? - How completely vile.
(GROANING)
And, Jason, please join me.
A tongue.
How extraordinarily tasty.
- I almost vomit.
I was covering my mouth and trying to avoid looking because it was so gross.
- An eyeball,
a foot
and a tongue.
The vegans will hate this. (LAUGHTER)
Toodle-pip.
- I thought we were gonna have to touch something, taste something and see something.
I'm just hoping that I'm not gonna have to eat something, because that is literally my worst fear.
- I said I wanted more protein. This is not what I meant. (LAUGHTER)
- Janay.
Wiremu.
- Who's next? - I don't know.
All right, big shovel or little shovel?
I'm definitely frustrated to be a grave digger, but the problem is not that I have to dig a hole.
The problem is that I have a one-in-three shot of getting murdered tonight.
And it doesn't take a mathematician to tell you that is not good.
- You haven't dug a grave before? - (CHUCKLES)
- No, but I've dug a few holes. - It's not my favourite pastime.
So how do we think the traitors selected the three of us?
- Oh, I think I'm the most obvious, to be honest.
- Really? Why? - Well, I got three votes last night,
a few people suspect me,
and keeping me here all day keeps me from clearing my name with any of the other faithful.
Yeah. I came in today wanting to do damage control from last night.
Keeping me away from the group for an entire day is, you know,
a good move by the traitors, I can't lie.
- I think it's Noel. He jumped so fast after Joe made the accusation between you and I.
He was like, 'You know what? I actually hadn't thought of Molly.
Yeah, Molly, you're a good target.' I don't know. It's just weird.
- He just wanted to get the subject matter off of himself... - That's exactly it.
- ...and you were his easiest target. - Exactly.
- My strategy today is to push Noel and Andrew's names while they're not here to defend themselves.
- Did we watch how Andrew reacted?
- He looked dist— He looked quite disturbed, I thought. - Yeah.
- Just get on the bandwagon and just confirm other people's suspicions.
- I was sitting beside him at breakfast.
He said that him and Jackie had had a conversation before she left.
She said, 'Hey, Andrew,
I said to them,
'if you go home, I'm leaving too.'
'They' meaning the traitors.
- Something's just not right.
His behaviour in the last little bit is not being a good faithful.
- The fact that the faithful are suspecting two of the kindest fellow faithfuls here,
it couldn't be any easier at this point.
- Can we acknowledge, like, this is pretty intense.
We're digging one of our graves. - Yeah.
- Yeah. I mean, I'm scared.
I'm still confused, because I don't understand if we're three faithfuls or if one of us is a traitor.
Do you think none of us are traitors and they've— they're bluffing? - Could be.
- If everyone thinks one of us is a traitor, they're gonna pick us off one by one.
- Between Noel and Andrew and Brie, somebody's gonna get murdered tonight.
- And I reckon one of them has gotta be a traitor.
- Sure.
- Yeah, but which one? - I don't know.
But I'm just saying— - Right, well, that's not very (BLEEP) helpful, is it?
- The traitors have control in this game,
and they need to know what's happening all the time, from every angle.
And so it's highly likely that the traitors have put one of their own into the grave digging.
- Brie's been very jumpy. Very... Very erratic. - I know. Yeah.
- Her vs Donna... - That was weird.
- ...was, like, a side story that I never saw coming.
- That was, like, totally over the top, right?
- If you're a faithful, you've got to fix it.
- Walking into the mission, I am thinking, 'What on earth does this mean?'
Oh my God.
- It's like a scene from Hannibal Lecter, seeing blood, gore strewn everywhere.
- It looks like we're walking into a murder.
(ALL GROAN)
- Welcome, my cherries.
Welcome to my abattoir.
- I just know it's gonna be some sort of butchery, something to do with food, and I am terrified
- Players, I am in my happy place —
my own bespoke slaughter house.
It's a grisly mission I've set for today,
but one that could really bring home the bacon.
This is a simple game of 'Guess What' —
what body part, that is.
You will have a maximum of 60 seconds to identify the body part
and the animal it comes from.
Each correct answer will earn a silver bar.
There's $7500 up for grabs in this mission.
- So straight away I'm freaking out. I think everybody else is.
It's not gonna be great.
- Siale, an eyeball was staring back at you under your cloche at breakfast this morning.
You are very lucky.
Your team will only be able to look at the body part to identify it. (ALL SIGH)
I can see the relief in your eyes now. (ALL CHUCKLE)
Lucky you.
- I am so happy we had to look at it. Thank you so much, Siale, for picking the right one.
- All right, players, please lift your lids.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
The body part
and the animal it is from.
- It was shaped like a kidney bean. So I thought kidney.
- It's too small for a cow.
Can't be a cow kidney.
- All right, time is up. Write your answers on your slates.
Remember, it's the body part and the animal it's from.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Joe,
please show me what you've written on your board.
- Is it a sheep's kidney?
- Ben.
- I put sheep's kidney.
- Utah.
- I think it's a sheep's kidney as well.
- Siale, what have you written down?
- I think it's a pig's kidney.
- Interesting. Brittany, what have you put down?
- I have...
also guessed a pig's kidney.
- Well, I can tell you that three of you are right.
So $1500 with sheep kidney
will be added to the final prize fund.
Congratulations to the three of you.
- Britt and Siale, I'm surprised that they didn't get that...
- Be gone with you all.
- ...but to be honest, we should just be happy that we got more money, because the kitty is low.
- (SIGHS)
- Whitney, you revealed a foot —
well, a trotter — at breakfast this morning.
- Oh. - Delectable.
Lucky you. You will only be able to
fondle the body part.
Ah, the relief falls over your faces.
Blindfolds on.
And your time starts...
now.
- MOLLY: One of the covers is lifted off the plate,
and this stench comes up.
It takes everything in me to not throw up.
OK, OK.
- Remember, we need not just the body part,
but the beast that it's from.
- What is this? (LAUGHTER)
What is this bit?
Obviously, as an embalmer, I should be kind of comfortable.
(YELLS, GAGS) No.
And I am with a human.
(WHIMPERS)
- Mike is forensically examining his body part.
- It feels like the texture of chicken breast,
but it's massive and it's got some solid thing.
I've always been pretty good at handling meat.
- And your time is up.
And discretely write your answer on the board in front of you.
Whitney, we will start with you.
Would you like to show us what you've written on your board? Tell me what you think it is.
- A cow's foot.
- A cows foot.
Interesting. - Yeah.
- In fact, bizarre. - Yeah.
- A what?
Whitney's day job, according to her, is that she's an undertaker.
Her job is to handle bodily organs.
I am suspicious that she is not who she says she is.
The alarm bells started going off for sure.
- Molly, what do you think it is?
- I put it down a sheep intestine.
- Bailey, let's see if you have something different
or if you thought it was a foot.
- I thought it was lungs from a sheep. - Oh, that's smart.
- Mike. - Sheep liver.
- Mark, what did you think it was?
- The neck of a cow.
- Well, I can tell you that congratulations are not in order.
It has been a clean sweep.
None of you got it right. - (SIGHS)
- Although, Bailey, you were the closest with sheep's lungs.
It was, in fact, cows lungs. - Oh, right.
- Whitney, yours was the most bizarre of all the answers. (ALL LAUGH)
- Why the hell am I thinking it's a cow's foot?
LAUGHS: Like, I just feel so stupid.
I thought the pig trotter was a clue — a foot — so it was some type of animal foot.
- MIKE: I think she's come in here with the intent to deceive.
- That's my reasoning.
- She's cunning. She's two-faced.
- Thank you, Whitney. No money has been added to the prize pool.
- I don't trust there being another traitor
that is as confident and calculated as Whitney...
- You may leave the abattoir now.
- ...and I need her out of the way.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(ELEVATOR DINGS)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
- Last team, you selected a tongue at breakfast this morning.
You are indeed the fortunate ones.
You will be tasting the body part to correctly identify it.
- I really don't want to do this mission.
I have no idea what's gonna be there, but it stinks.
- Blindfolds off.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Your time starts...
now.
- Oh. - It stinks.
- (GROANS)
Ugh.
- I've eaten some pretty gross things...
(SMACKS LIPS)
...but this was pretty gross.
(SMACKS LIPS)
- It was absolutely foul
and disgusting.
- Of course, you don't have to finish what's on the plate, but you're welcome to if you wish.
- (GAGS)
- As soon as Jane starts gagging...
- (GAGS)
- ...it just sets me off.
Don't.
(SPITS)
- (GAGS, COUGHS)
(COUGHS, GAGS)
(DRY RETCHES, COUGHS)
- All right, your time is up.
(DRY RETCHING)
(CLOCHE CLANGS)
- Ugh.
Oh my God, it was disgusting. Absolutely gross.
(EXHALES) - And if I could just say as a personal note,
I take my hat off to each and every one of you.
But do you know
what you've just been eating?
Please discreetly write your answers down.
Remember, what I'm looking for is the body part and the animal it came from.
- The smell and the texture and God knows what's in it
just tasted of poo.
- Jason, please show me what you've written down and tell me.
- Sheep guts.
Technical term, of course. - (LAUGHS)
- Stephen.
- Sheep intestine. - Sheep intestine.
Donna. Pig's tongue.
Jane, you particularly enjoyed your morsel. (LAUGHTER)
- Yeah, I thought it was sheep's intestine.
- Ah, only upside down. - Oh, shoot. Sorry.
- One can be forgiven when one's stomach is still churning
Cat, you also had a bit of a struggle. What did you think it was?
- Lamb colon.
- Lamb colon?
(LAUGHTER)
- LAUGHS: I thought we had to be real specific.
- Well, that's pretty— pretty specific, isn't it?
(LAUGHTER)
All that effort, all that eating, all that gagging
and no correct answers. - No. - Oh!
It is actually cow intestines. (ALL GROAN)
- CAT: I'm annoyed that my guess is wrong.
We went through all of that for nothing.
- You might argue it was a waste of time, but I found it enormously entertaining.
So for that, I thank you all and I bid you adieu.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
- BREE: Do you guys think that you're gonna die?
- To be honest, I'd be surprised if I was murdered just because I think I'm a great scapegoat for them.
You know what I mean? - Yeah.
- Whereas you two have less suspicion on you. So...
- If we can be real, like, what you just said, you're like, 'I'd be surprised if I got murdered.'
Like, I get that energy from you. I don't think you're scared of murder.
I am beginning to think that Noel selected himself to dig a grave
in the hope that it would convince people he was actually a faithful.
I think that plan is going to backfire spectacularly. At least that's my hope.
If one of us here is a traitor...
- ...I think it's you. - It's gotta be, you know?
- It wouldn't make any sense for me to put myself in there as a traitor.
Anyone with two brain cells to clack together can put that together.
- There's other clues that you might be a traitor.
So we'd only just selected the traitors. And I said, 'Does anybody have any ideas yet?'
And you said, 'I've got some suspicions, but I'm not voicing them.'
I point to that— - OK, wait, can I just stop you right there?
I don't wanna throw names out there with very little evidence. - That's the game, dude.
That's the game. - I know, but that's how you get people—
- I don't trust anyone that won't spread names. Like, that's the point.
- Today you just felt like the high school schoolyard.
And I was dealing with two bullies.
One way or another, the truth comes out and you'll see I'm a faithful.
- I just think you should be worried and it's weird that you're not.
- I'm not, because I didn't really come here to win.
- Why are you here, then? - For fun. Jeez.
- Well, you should leave, then, cos we all came to win.
- You know, Brie, I don't know if she's a traitor or not,
but I know she has this vicious mean streak to her.
I don't know if it's a defence mechanism. I don't know if it's her true colours.
I don't care. I just don't want to be on the receiving end of it.
All I'll say is I either get murdered and you'll all know I'm faithful
or I get banished and I go up there and say I'm faithful. So either way—
- I think there's another scenario, and I understand why you can't acknowledge it,
but I think Brie and I can.
It could not be more obvious to me that Noel is a traitor.
He is out to get me, and I intend to take him down before he can.
(BIRDSONG)
(REGAL MUSIC)
- Welcome back to the Manor, players.
You're probably wondering how well you all did
with the possible additions to the prize pool of $7500 today.
It wasn't a complete disaster but perilously close to one.
All of you managed to raise
a total of $1500. (ALL GASP)
A truly 'offal' attempt.
- DONNA: Our whole team did not get any money for the pool,
and we were gutted.
- Life goes on. Of course, not for all of you.
I think a bit of time for some more Chianti perhaps before I see you at the round table.
Until then, anon.
- That was hard.
- I feel really terrible, because I feel like I didn't contribute to the fund today.
I wasn't a helpful faithful, but I feel like I can still play as hard as I can to catch those traitors.
Bugger.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Do you think it's better if we clear stuff with people now, while we have the chance,
or if we raise it at the round table?
- If you feel the need to, then you should do it now.
- OK, then. Because I'm just struggling a little bit, Whitney.
Jackie put my name forward, and you were right there with her.
And that doesn't look very good for you in terms of, like, your trustworthiness.
- Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Here we go.
This is the first person that's put me on the spot in front of a group of people.
My personality is a personality of caring and, um,
sort of, you know, looking after people.
And I felt like I had to do that with her. So I didn't see her as a traitor in my eyes.
- I feel like that's a pretty flimsy argument.
- I came to my own conclusions about you, Britt.
There was a moment that I, um... I didn't mention,
and there was about maybe seven or eight of us in the room,
and you said, 'I'm confident all of us in this room are faithful.'
How can you say that so early in the game?
You should not trust anyone 100%. You should only trust yourself. - But I don't. I don't trust anyone.
- But you said, in the room, 'You're all faithful.'
- Right now you're putting the heat back on me, which I feel like is unfair,
cos I think a lot of people are saying to each other, 'Oh yeah, yeah, I know you're 100% faithful.
- MIKE: Whitney's currently under a bit of pressure,
and I think she might be overperforming,
and I think others are picking up on it.
- Jackie's behaviour was so sus to me. It was classic traitor.
And kind of what you're doing now is a bit sus for me, to be honest. - Oh, really?
- Instead of, like, responding to my concerns, she flipped it back on me.
That just seems like real deflective behaviour, which to me is suspicious as (BLEEP).
- Brittany is a threat to my game.
But I need to take a deep breath and remind myself that the faithfuls are gonna think,
'Hmm, there's a traitor amongst the three that had to go and dig their grave.
I will use that to my advantage.
(TENSE MUSIC)
- NOEL: I'm feeling fear, nausea, anger.
Anxiety, of course.
- ANDREW: The tension is real.
We both know what's coming.
- Andrew, and probably Brie as well,
are just gonna go full force slinging my name around.
- As far as I was concerned, it was just two chairs facing each other.
And I'm ready to take Noel down.
- # There's a fire burning deep within my soul.
# Feel the fire raging out of control.
# Hidden inside of me.
# Open up the heavens and let the flood come.
# Hell is a fury no one can outrun.
# And only ashes remain. #
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
- Welcome to the round table, players.
Before you, $30,500.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
This is your chance to share what you've observed in the last 24 hours.
To throw the guilty to the wolves.
Who would like to begin? - I would.
(TENSE MUSIC)
I would like to...
remind everybody that there are only three people here tonight actually fighting for our lives.
The faithful stand to learn the most from this.
If you also only consider the three of us for banishment tonight.
And I am willing to double my odds of going home,
because I believe that strongly in the evidence that I'm about to present.
So, Noel,
today as we were digging our own graves,
Noel just kind of casually mentioned
that he is...
not going to get murdered.
Another fact —
you said that...
you hadn't spent any time with Jackie whatsoever.
And as someone who spent a ton of time with Jackie, she dropped a lot of names.
And it occurred to me she'd never said your name. I don't think I ever heard her say the name Noel.
That's interesting to me. - And that's— Yeah, those are all facts.
But also, there's a lot of people I didn't interact with.
I didn't interact with Wiremu. I didn't interact with Jackie.
So if anything, that's why I would guess she didn't say my name, is cos she barely got to speak to me.
- So she would have been an easy vote last night. Then why didn't you write your name down?
- Because I didn't suspect her. Molly, do you remember how I said—
- Maybe you were afraid because you knew that if you crossed a traitor like her,
she would have eaten you alive.
- Not my fear. Didn't think she was a traitor. Didn't suspect her.
- It is crazy that out of the three of you, when we all walked in,
two look absolutely shit scared and one doesn't.
- Me? - Yeah.
- I am here as a faithful to catch traitors,
and it's become more and more evident to me that I'm sitting next to one.
- Can we just hear from Brie, like, about your—
about what happened today in your mind and your opinion, rather than just these two going back and forth?
- Thanks, Donna.
- (EXHALES SHARPLY)
Today...
I did not play my game.
Today I played Andrew's game.
And you're going to be quite shocked, I think, Andrew.
- I am. Whoa. - Yeah.
Because today...
Andrew did what he's just done now and attacked Noel. - I did.
- You can confirm you did that? - I'm very happy with that.
- And Noel, can you confirm that I also joined in on that?
The reason I did this was because I needed to get into the mind of Andrew.
And if I was Andrew and I was a traitor,
I would get everybody to get rid of Noel
because you already have suspicions on him.
- ANDREW: Everything I thought I knew was just out the window.
Do I have to vote for Brie now?
- Brie, I just feel like every banishment so far,
your behaviour has just been super erratic.
And today I feel like you're saying things that, like,
everyone's just super confused by.
Is there something about this banishment room that freaks you out?
Like what happens? - Yeah.
Um..
I am here to win as a faithful.
And I don't think playing a safe game
will let me win.
I'm throwing out names left and right.
You can all attest to that. I've probably given a name to all of you, right?
Because I wanna (BLEEP) win,
cos I have a wedding to plan.
- JOE: Brie seems a little bit distressed.
There's just all these theatrics, and I'm just like, 'Nah, don't trust you. Don't like it.'
- BRITTANY: Well, I'm sorry Andrew,
I couldn't get past the Jackie thing yesterday.
It was a line that you had that you were like, 'No, I can't cross the relationship boundary
'that I have with Jackie. I can't vote for her.'
And I was like, well, I feel like in this game,
we do need to try and separate our personal relationships from our suspicions.
- I have a reason. And, look, it's—
I don't— I don't know if it makes— I don't think it makes me look good,
but I don't think it makes me a traitor either.
I absolutely thought I was getting murdered. the first night.
As we were leaving breakfast,
Jackie just, like, whispers in my ear.
She's like, 'I told them if you were murdered, I was going home.'
And I got into my head. I was like, if she's a traitor,
then she's, like, my guardian angel.
And I loved this idea of her getting to live her dream.
- But if her dream is to win as a traitor and shaft a faithful at the end—
- That's why I deserve your suspicion. And I respect that you're saying it at the round table.
I totally will wear that.
- PAUL: The time for talk is over.
Will you please write the name of the person you want banished permanently from this game
on your slate?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Have you locked in your votes?
Then, Donna, we'll start with you. Who have you voted for and why?
- Uh, apologies, Noel, I've written your name.
It just— things don't add up completely.
(TENSE MUSIC)
- Stephen.
- Where there's smoke, there's fire.
And where there's a loud, clanging bell,
there's Andrew.
- Brittany.
- I came in here with a different name.
But one thing that I kind of can't shake is
if you're not a traitor, why aren't you helping us catch them?
I'm sorry, Noel, but I'm voting for you.
(TENSE MUSIC)
- Utah.
- Yeah, my vote tonight is for...
Andrew.
I think you're too comfortable.
- So two votes for Noel
and two votes for Andrew.
Jason.
- Yeah. Uh...
I voted for Brie. Um...
I'm still not sitting right with your explanation.
- Noel.
- For obviously, you know, ringing the bell on me so hard
I had to vote for you. I'm sorry.
- Andrew.
- Well, no one's gonna be more surprised by this vote than I am.
The first double cross that I've seen,
the first person whose behaviour shifted dramatically.
I'm sorry, Brie, but that confused the heck out of me.
- Whitney.
- Noel.
I'm sorry.
(TENSE MUSIC)
- Three votes for Noel.
Three votes for Andrew.
And two votes for Brie.
Bailey, who did you vote for and why?
- Someone tonight dropped kind of a bombshell, almost,
of a piece of information they got told days ago
that, um, would have got a traitor out earlier
And so, Andrew, I— I voted for you.
- Brie, who did you vote for and why?
- Andrew, you always come with an agenda — every time.
I'm sorry.
- Ben.
- Andrew, you've got my vote.
- Molly?
- Noel, I've been your biggest advocate since day one.
And so last night, when you flipped it on me for literally no reason,
it just really shifted things for me.
Um, so unfortunately, tonight you have my vote.
- Fair enough.
- Siale, please reveal who you voted for.
- I was pretty suspicious for a wee while,
and you haven't done anything to sort of change that.
So, Noel, you got my vote.
- Mark.
- Andrew, you came in here with an agenda.
You came in aggressive, and you controlled the conversation from the get-go.
That's why I've written down your name.
(TENSE MUSIC)
- So that's seven votes for Andrew,
five to Noel
and two votes for Brie.
Jane, who have you voted for and why?
- Look, guys, I love you all, and I found that conversation quite hard, actually.
Um, Noel,
I expected more from you.
- Cat.
- (SIGHS)
Noel, I, um...
think you're incredibly bright.
And so it strikes me as odd
that you would play it so safe and not put any names out.
Yeah, I've written your name.
- Joe, reveal who you voted for and tell us why.
- OK. (SIGHS)
Brie, integrity is massive to me.
I ain't ever gonna change,
and I just don't know if I can trust you.
- So seven votes for both Andrew
and Noel.
Three votes for Brie.
Mike,
you're the last one to vote.
Andrew and Noel's fate hangs in the balance.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
- PAUL: Seven votes for both Andrew
and Noel.
Three votes for Brie.
It's a knife edge.
Mike, you're the last one to vote.
Andrew and Noel's fate hangs in the balance.
Please reveal who you voted for and tell us why.
- The crazy thing tonight is that there's a potential that none of you three are even traitors.
But I feel like I've built trust with you, Noel, over the last few days.
And, Andrew, I respect you, and you've held yourself really well just now.
And my opinion on you, Brie, has sort of changed.
Unfortunately, Andrew, my vote is for you.
- Andrew, you have the most votes. You are banished from my game.
Please come and join me.
Andrew, before you leave the game for good, please reveal —
are you a faithful or a traitor?
- I dug my own grave today, I suppose, in more ways than one.
I've been honest and authentic this entire time.
I am a faithful.
(ALL GROAN)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
- What's done is done.
Noel and Brie will be having a sleepless night on your behalf.
Until breakfast, chickadees.
- Tonight's round table was a total waste of time —
the Andrew and Noel show.
And that little smile at the end, that was just like,
you know, he's got away with it.
- Can I just say... - Mate, honestly...
My dad unhappy face was on.
- Some people said I didn't put up much of a fight.
And to be honest, that's because I was absolutely exhausted today.
I know none of you have seen it. None of you were there.
But as Brie said, she played Andrew's game, and for the whole time I was just—
- You've done a lot of talking today. Seriously, man. Honestly.
- I don't think a lot of people trust me, and I can't really blame them.
Well, if tonight made me realise anything,
it's that I do wanna stay in this game.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
- OK. What the heck was that?
I am feeling devastated.
Another faithful gone.
I trusted Andrew.
I knew he was a faithful.
He could've written Noel's name down and we would've got— - Had it.
We would have got rid of a frickin' traitor.
I don't know how people missed those signs that Noel is a traitor.
Those traitors are playing their damn best game right now.
If Noel is here tomorrow... - Yeah.
- ...we've got an easy vote tomorrow night. - It's obvious.
Yeah, I know. - Yeah.
- (SIGHS) Bro I really thought he was. - I did too.
- I wouldn't have put myself on 50-50. - I don't think it's you.
- I think the traitors got their faithful banished tonight.
They'll have their faithful murdered tonight.
And whoever sticks around tomorrow will be under suspicion and banished.
So the traitors are getting exactly what they wanted. - Yeah.
- So we lose either way.
- I'm still not convinced about Brie.
- There's too many tears, bro. Why are you crying? - Yeah.
She's just, like, frantically emotional.
- Do you think that was a traitor or do you think that it's just three faithfuls that were put up there?
- I think it's three faithfuls. - Really?
- There's a one-in-two chance that I'm going home tonight.
It's time to say my goodbyes. - You don't know that.
- Even if I'm not gonna be murdered, I don't think I will survive tomorrow.
- You're all good. You held yourself together well in there.
From a traitor's point of view, tonight's result really couldn't be better.
(BELL TOLLS)
If we murder either Noel or Brie, there will be mayhem.
There'll be confusion.
So yeah, it's a good night for the traitors. Yeah.
- Night. - Night, man.
- I'm gonna be thinking of you a lot, OK? - Thank you. Thank you.
- Which of the gravediggers will see sunrise?
- (BLEEP) Seriously?
- And one traitor...
- Can I chat with you? - You can.
- ...steps out of the shadows.
- I think now's the time to strike...
Whitney.
- ...and shakes up the game.
