Viewers of the BBC series The Traitors have hailed the latest development as a ‘miracle’ following what has been described as a ‘heartless’ move that left one participant exposed.
In the episode broadcast on Wednesday (January 8), the aftermath of the dramatic events from the last instalment was finally disclosed. On the Friday (January 3) night’s show, Armani found herself ousted from the castle after being the most voted out by her peers, including her co-conspirator Minah, reports Wales Online.
This turn of events led to the Faithfuls unmasking their first Traitor in the game. Yet, not everyone was out of danger as several were at risk of being murdered.
The latest episode opened with the morning after, revealing that Maia had been ‘murdered’ and was absent from breakfast.
Some viewers at home were astonished that Linda wasn’t the first Traitor caught. One viewer exclaimed online: “It’s a MIRACLE you weren’t the first Traitor to go Linda!” Another commented: “How the hell is Linda still there I’m crying.”
Meanwhile, someone else remarked: “The fact Linda is gonna make it to the final at this rate is so hilarious but also utterly insane and so embarrassing for the Faithfuls.” Social media was abuzz when it was unveiled that Linda and her fellow Traitor Minah decided to murder Maia, who had just played a part in banishing another Traitor.
Additionally, they speculated that Faithful Freddie would be the next to face banishment, given the conversation amongst contestants hinting he might be the Traitor. One viewer noted: “Heartless killing Maia but oh so needed to happen or she could coast on sympathy and if she got recruited these lot wouldn’t clock.”
Meanwhile, another fan concurred, saying: “The faithful would be so dumb to think Freddie would murder Maia after her accusations, so…. obviously, they’ll sheeple together and banish him.”
The Traitors continues tomorrow at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
