I think allowing another recruitment in Ross was a strange move. It’s thrown the dynamic slightly.

That's the big flaw in the format, really. They have to recruit if the number of Traitors gets too low to guarantee a certain duration for the series. This year has really suffered from it IMO - any "recruited" Traitors never feel like proper Traitors. They know they're only there as sacrifices or due to ulterior motives, and that will only get worse in future as contestants have seen what happens with recruits over two series.

I have a feeling they'll need to try a different approach to recruiting or making up the number of Traitors in the next series - if only to avoid new recruits dragging the energy down (ahem, Andrew) since they know full well they're not considered "real" Traitors, and to prevent it slowly becoming a straight white boys' club like it has this year.

I wonder what happens if there are 2 traitors and 1 is banished at the round table, is the remaining traitor forced to recruit? Because if they don’t & they’re out the next day… surely the game is over?

Almost certainly, they won't allow one Traitor to remain until there's only one banishment left. Having said that, it would make an agonising twist to watch if all the contestants in the final were Faithful but still had to banish someone.
