Harry Clark: It’s time for The Traitors to throw a bone to the Faithfuls

Let’s be honest for a minute. What on earth is a “pussy in a well”? That’s the question I’ve been asking myself since last week when Celia Imrie blurted that phase out during last week’s mission, before doing a banshee impression so pained that Alan Carr asked her to stop. Between that and her fart earlier in the show, she’s fast emerging as *the* icon of the series and I’d love her to go far and get the chance to meet her IRL.
As for those who very much aren’t going far, it’s a fond farewell to the freshly murdered Tom Daley and Ruth Codd, and the newly banished Faithfuls Tameka Empson and Clare Balding. Honestly, I can’t explain how much they *need* to catch a Traitor now. For the sake of the game yes, but also for the sake of poor old Mark Bonnar’s blood pressure. Did you see his face? Oh boy.
Which leads us nicely onto my next point. The Faithfuls are now at a stage where they could feasibly throw random names out there because they’re not thinking rationally. If I was a traitor, I’d be thinking it’s high time to throw them a bone in order to placate that madness. And the bone, I’m afraid to say, would be Jonathan Ross. Sorry, Big JR, but I think your time is up.
In fact, I think Alan Carr had a golden opportunity to go the distance had he done it in last week’s episode. I think he should’ve got his fellow Traitor Cat Burns on side, backstabbed Jonathan Ross and masked Cat’s win of the shield as a recruitment for someone like Kate Garraway who had so much heat on her and would be all too easy to throw under the bus at a later point. It’s all about sowing seeds of doubt and I think Alan could do that, before backstabbing Cat in the final. Confused? Watch my whole video here and you’ll understand it. Or, of course, she could do similar too. Or, a third option, the Faithfuls might just wise up and see through all manner of double bluffs. But at this point I wouldn’t count on it…
All I know is that things are going to get more explosive and the Faithfuls need to up their game. As it stands, The Traitors are running away with this…
