AFTER CATCHING A traitor on the very first night, episode three saw the players arrive with their pitchforks out, ready to find another.
The show really got going in episode two , where we learned about secret occupations, secret marriages, and saw traitor Edelle get banished – largely because of how quickly she drank a glass of water.
Tonight’s episode kicked off with the revelation that the remaining traitors had chosen to murder Laura during the night.
Laura – who was the driving force behind Edelle’s demise – unfortunately had a target on her back because of her strong traitor hunting skills.
As Páraic said, “she was pretty damn good” at finding them.
