The nine most dramatic moments ever on The Traitors

There have been many tense moments in the Traitors’ castle over the years, but the drama in the last two episodes has to be considered some of the most explosive in the show’s history.

On Thursday’s episode, a civil war broke out between the two villains after Rachel revealed to her fellow contestants that exiled loyalist Amanda had confessed to her that she was a former detective.

Fiona… until recently “secret traitor” – He became angry at Rachel’s tactics and confronted her in front of the others, accusing her of lying and being a traitor. So is he. But others don’t know this.

In Friday’s episode, the fight continued in the turret; Rachel accused Fiona of “throwing a grenade” at the team of traitors, while Fiona accused her of “playing a game” for her.

The third traitor, Stephen, said he was “absolutely speechless” by the controversy.

Things came to a head at a tense roundtable led by Rachel, which resulted in Fiona receiving the most votes and being exiled.

Fiona later admitted: “My cunning plan wasn’t cunning at all!” He also revealed that despite the controversy, he did not vote for Rachel because “she deserved to win.”

Three players left dramatic climax of the series two finale. Mollie first wrote Harry’s name as a traitor, but then changed her mind and wrote Jaz’s name instead, eliminating him.

It was only after she and Harry had left that she revealed herself to be a loyal person and gave Harry a tender, reassuring, reassuring look. He looked at his shoes strangely.

A few minutes later he confessed that he was, and always had been, a two-faced traitor; This meant he won the £95,000 prize. Mollie clenched her cheeks in horror, swore and ran out in tears.

The series’ first contestants nearly choked on their breakfast croissants when Tom the Magician stood up to deliver the bombshell news.

In a desperate defense of her loyal friend Alex, who was placed under suspicion after being brought “on trial”, she declared: “Alex is not a Traitor, frankly she is my girlfriend.”

Heads were held, hands were brought to mouths and curses were uttered. A blind Alex sat silently with his head in his hands.

“I just panicked,” Tom later told the audience.

Calling for a time out as accusations flew and tempers flared, loyalist John said: “Everybody stop talking for 10 seconds and sit down, we’ve all gone from zero to 1,000 and things are getting crazy.”

When the notorious traitor Alan Carr was tasked with committing a public murder, he chose singer Paloma Faith, who, by his own admission, was one of his best friends.

The identity of the victim was revealed to the group after a shortlist of three celebrities were selected to lie in the open coffin. “It might not be you!” Carr innocently assured Faith as she settled into her own home.

When host Claudia Winkleman slammed the lid of Faith’s coffin shut, she tried to look as shocked as the others, but she couldn’t help grimacing in guilt. “He broke my heart,” he later protested.

But the drama didn’t end there. Faith was truly unimpressed when she learned that the culprit was someone she considered a close friend.

“I don’t think he should have done that to me, and I’m surprised he did,” he told the Uncloaked podcast.

When a traitor decides to attack one of their own, it always raises the stakes. And in the second series Paul decided to point the finger at his treacherous friend Miles.

Miles returned the accusations and the two exchanged friendly fire at the round table.

While they were doing this, in a cunning way of playing, Harry, the third traitor, whispered to Zack, casting more suspicion on both of them: “Do you think two traitors are attacking each other?”

Zack took the bait and aimed at Paul. Miles was exiled first, and Paul followed him the next night.

Series one’s Kieran told the faithful at the final roundtable that shortly before he was sacked, he had put the name of his traitorous friend Wilf on his list as a “parting gift”.

This, combined with a pointed look as he stood up to reveal his own identity, sowed deadly seeds of doubt.

“What did he mean?” A pained Hannah asked, pulling her face away from her hands. “Why did he do this?”

Wilf’s dramatic shouts and gestures attract attention, as he is acutely aware of the danger and repeatedly swears that he is not a traitor. “How do you think I feel?… He set me up,” he shouted.

“I can’t stop shaking,” Aaron said.

A new development in the third series turned a player into a “seer”; this player was able to force his fellow contestant to tell him whether he was loyal or traitorous.

Francesca chooses Charlotte, who reveals herself to be a traitor (but not that she’s actually Welsh).

The next morning, the duo treated their fellow contestants to the strangest breakfast of the season.

Charlotte claimed he told Francesca he was faithful; Francesca insisted that Charlotte had told her that she was a traitor.

“You’re really lying,” Charlotte replied in her Welsh accent.

Another traitor-traitor moment from the first series; this time hidden from loyal eyes in the secret tower of the castle.

“Wilfred, can I tell you something? What’s on the Welsh flag?” asked Swansea-based contestant Amanda.

“A dragon,” came the cautious reply of his treacherous companion.

“If you throw me under the bus, I will,” he retorted. It’s a threat delivered silently, but no less powerful for it.

A morbid funeral culminated in the three contestants lying in coffins waiting to hear who would be “buried”. It was definitely a big risk.

But the believers did not know that the fate of retired teacher Diane had already been sealed after she drank the poisoned chalice (a glass of bright rose) the night before.

Earlier in the second series, Diane had privately told viewers that Paul was not her son, following speculation from other cast members. What followed was a delicious, marmalade-dripping aside of “But Ross is.”

This statement, which the other contestants did not hear, increased the tension even more.

“You see how emotional everyone gets… think about it a million times over because your real parent might have been murdered,” Ross told the camera before viewers saw the coffin lid close on her mother.

Diane’s reaction was “terrible.”
