Poor Joe! Poor (probably) Jerry! Thanks for all your comments as always. Back here next Thursday?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The Celebrity Traitors: episode six \u2013 as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/16\/the-celebrity-traitors-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ad284048f0877faff4f774e#block-6ad284048f0877faff4f774e\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">And, by the way, the editing that led up to the end of the show, intercutting between increasingly tired faces, is worthy of an award. It was like the final sequence of The Sopranos, but expressly about perceived sleepiness. The highlight of the series so far.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The Celebrity Traitors: episode six \u2013 as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/16\/the-celebrity-traitors-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ad2838e8f0862b813bc3b37#block-6ad2838e8f0862b813bc3b37\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">And then that\u2019s the end of the show. This is incredible. The cliffhanger \u2013 a cliffhanger that needs to keep us interested for the whole week \u2013 is whether or not Ross Kemp will yawn before Jerry Hall. Amazing. The audacity. I\u2019m honestly very impressed at the guts of whoever made that decision. Full marks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The Celebrity Traitors: episode six \u2013 as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/16\/the-celebrity-traitors-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ad283388f0877faff4f7745#block-6ad283388f0877faff4f7745\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Jerry is tired. Maya yawns. James yawns. Ross Kemp stares at both of them like he thinks something weird is happening.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The Celebrity Traitors: episode six \u2013 as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/16\/the-celebrity-traitors-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ad282fc8f0862b813bc3b34#block-6ad282fc8f0862b813bc3b34\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Kenny yawns. Sharon\u2019s in. Sharon leaves. This is easily the most tense I have ever been waiting for people to yawn.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The Celebrity Traitors: episode six \u2013 as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/16\/the-celebrity-traitors-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ad282c18f0862b813bc3b32#block-6ad282c18f0862b813bc3b32\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Jerry walks in and sits down. And then Ross comes in and sits down. Acaster immediately starts asking a lot of boring questions about Texas. Joanne comes in and Maya starts yawning gratuitously.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The Celebrity Traitors: episode six \u2013 as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/16\/the-celebrity-traitors-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ad282618f088e860bb71c15#block-6ad282618f088e860bb71c15\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">They spray the spray in the room they\u2019re in, and wait for someone to come in to join them. This is a good tactic, because there\u2019s no real thought to it. It\u2019s going to be an arbitrary murder based purely on circumstance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The Celebrity Traitors: episode six \u2013 as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/16\/the-celebrity-traitors-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ad281f28f0877faff4f7738#block-6ad281f28f0877faff4f7738\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">King Kenny proves himself to be a less than perfect traitor. On the first step \u2013 locating a bottle of spray \u2013 he walks around audibly saying \u201cWhere is the spray I need to find?\u201d which isn\u2019t very mysterious.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Actually, Maya has just done the same thing. What a weird thing to do.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The Celebrity Traitors: episode six \u2013 as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/16\/the-celebrity-traitors-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ad2816e8f088e860bb71c0d#block-6ad2816e8f088e860bb71c0d\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Hang on, here comes a twist. The traitors all find letters, explaining that they have to murder someone in plain site by boring them to death. They have to spray something in a room, lure a faithful into the room, make them yawn and then ask if they are boring them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">It is a twist, but it is a complicated twist. How on earth are they going to pull this off?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The Celebrity Traitors: episode six \u2013 as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/16\/the-celebrity-traitors-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ad280f38f0877faff4f7734#block-6ad280f38f0877faff4f7734\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Miranda has taken Joe\u2019s banishment extremely hard. She\u2019s in tears because she misses him, because he allowed her to fool around in ways she hasn\u2019t for years. It\u2019s actually really touching. I\u2019d like Miranda to win this, please.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The Celebrity Traitors: episode six \u2013 as it happened&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/16\/the-celebrity-traitors-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ad280978f088e860bb71c07#block-6ad280978f088e860bb71c07\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And on that yawn-off, it is time for me to say goodbye for another week.
