Even if we know who the two teams are in the clue, it doesn't seem like there's a hint as to which one's being targeted. Or if there is, it's one no one's spotted yet.
We can establish the Monsieur's motive by reviewing the game thus far. Review it not in terms of what you have recieved, but in terms of what the two specific teams numbered five and eight have done. Tell me what you know of their actions in this game.
Angry and self-sacrificial actions amuse the Monsieur. Rule breaking does not. The two teams are even in that respect. But if you continue to deliberate in that way, you might find a way to distinguish the pairs.
Taking the nature of the punishment--the blood blocking our view of our partners--it seems like that penalty was from what Charley did, not Luke.
I find it funny that a perfectly sensible action like that constitutes rule-breaking; then again, I suppose you've made your point about his having a strange viewpoint.
He does; he has a rationale in that if he takes certain steps, he can make it very hard for us to win, and very easy for us to die. And he'd like it very much if we all struggled as hard as he could, and yet still died.
That is not quite all it is. But that isn't bad. You're doing better. I believe you will be able to make a more informed decision now, Master Rationality.

Charley wrote in blood on the glass, repeatedly as well, and his partner put his hand through the machine the first time--perhaps prematurely.

If I could, I'd have us lose this game, you know.
