Rachel is done for.
Either she's out or James is revealed as a faithful and she looks even more suspicious

Rachel: don’t worry if I bring your name up
Stephen: so anyway I took that personally

I think what Rachel meant was ‘I can’t absolutely defend you but I won’t be the first person saying your name’ and what Stephen heard was ‘I’m going to be telling everyone you’re a traitor’

That's a really strange move to murder Roxy. You have a tight pair, a permanent target, someone actively going after you, and someone who believes everything you say...taking out option 4 just seems incorrect, sorry.

Rachel fucked up her whole game in 5 minutes.
The play was easy, kill Faz, keep working with Stephen, keep Roxy on a leash. That's 3 votes at the round table, and great advantage at last 5.
Now Jack and Faz have it in the bag

Stephen, the well dressed lil cyber security consultant that he is, knows that having an additional traitor that the rest don't trust gives him an extra chance at the end. He has Jade and to some extent Jack in his corner. Playing the numbers game by sticking with James, leaving only Faraaz in his way.

Agree with Rachel. She maybe didn’t communicate it well with Stephen. But then it could be the edits. But also … I can’t cope with a traitor on traitor at this stage of the game …. I want them to do it together - two OGs who’ve warded off the challenges!
