‘Whodunnit?’ episode 8 preview: Ranking the winner / killer candidates
In our past “Whodunnit?” articles, we’ve chosen to rank either the candidates to win the show, or the candidates to be (insert dramatic Giles like pause) … the Killer! This time around, given that there are only four contestants left, we’ve chosen to do both to stir things up a bit.
But first, a disclaimer: These aren’t spoilers. They are based on our own perceptions of the players based on over a decade’s worth of watching reality competition shows and how they are edited. So if for whatever reason we end up being right on everything, don’t come to us claiming that we took the fun out of the mystery for you.
The winner
1. Kam – He may not always be the most likable guy, but he’s clearly very smart and able to piece together mysteries. He’s even won the top billing before on a case where he didn’t even as much information as the others.
2. Cris – Another super-smart competitor who has received Giles silly-pun-exclamations of victory right before the Scared / Spared cards are revealed. She also has a fairly positive edit, which works in her favor.
3. Melina – If she can survive this week, it really is every person for themselves from that point on. But, before it comes to that, she has to survive this week. That’s going to be tougher than getting Don to avoid mountain lions. (Guess we shouldn’t speak ill of the “dead”…)
4. Lindsay – You’re about to understand why when it comes to this one…
The killer
1. Lindsay – We do think the padded shoes in the extra morgue were a clue that the killer is a woman, and Lindsay fits the bill perfectly. We don’t think the killer would be obnoxious about picking a side, and she has floated in the middle very well.
2. Melina – If she survives this week without much information, Melina is totally the killer. She has done a stellar job of getting this far with a crumbling alliance … but is it because she has an inside advantage? (The thought of Melina forcing Giles to strap an explosive anklet on is rather hysterical.)
3. Cris – There’s just not that much of a reason to suspect Cris right now, given that she’s felt very competitive almost all of the time. We do find it slightly interesting, though, that she and Lindsay are targeting each other.
4. Kam – He’s just way too aggressive to be the killer. Plus, so many of the people who have suspected him over the course of the season are now dead.
Who do you think is the killer on this season of “Whodunnit?” Leave us a comment and list your own personal rankings.

Have anyone compare the penmenship from the Bios of the last three?, especially Lindsays writing and her letter”W”, it matches with the Killers note. Written a few episodes back when Gino was killed, the killer told him to Steal Giles Cell Phone. (Look at the writing style and compare for yourself! On the last episode, you were able to see Melindas writing and also check it out on her BIos’ they did not hide that from us on the camera. However, Kam’s bio is Typed. Whats your thought son the hand writing?
Also the Letter A and Number 1 keeps popping up, April 1st-( calendar shown while Ronnie was writing his notes)( who’s birthday is in April , who is the Aries of the group? When will the new WhoDunnit begin, when this one is over? Does anyone have any ideas?

People, it has to be Melina, she hasn’t won a challenge or been the most impressed, so that means she probally kept her theories and challenges in the middle so she can keep a low profile. She has not done anything significant and also, now she’s missing, hmmmm wonder whats gonna happen at the finale…

I think that Kam is the killer. He was the only one that came in from the outside when Sheri was killed. He is about the size of the person on the horse when Ulysses was killed.. serial killers are usually men….and It probably would have taken a man to get Dana on the table after he killed her…jmho

Cris didn’t even try to get the yellowbox, also she stays neutral in the location battle for “last known” between Lindsay and Melina.
1. Cris.-killer
2. Lindsay playing dumb.
3. Cam-doubt it
4. Melina-No Way.
Winner
1. Cam
tie Melina/Lindsay.
