Secret relationship prediction / weird editing choices

Im fairly sure that Charlotte and Alexander might be related/already know each other!

In tonight’s episode there was a weird scene where they had a conversation in the hall, and it struck me as odd because – from an editors perspective – there was no new information in that scene that we (as viewers) didn’t already know. It was just Alexander repeating the same story about there only being 3 people on his carriage still in the game.

In a show like this, where literally hundreds of interactions/conversations are happening every day, every single scene that makes it into the final edit is there for a reason. Something about that scene felt off because there was no reason for it to be there – except maybe to show an interaction between two people who might later be revealed to have an existing relationship?

Plus, in the challenge when Charlotte gave Alexander a coin, he said, “I don’t even know you, but thank you,” which was a bit weird.

It would also add an extra (more legitimate) reason for Charlotte’s ridiculous fake Welsh accent, to hide to the rest of the cast that they are related.

My partner thinks I’m thinking way too much into it, but does anyone else think it’s a possibility?
