Celebrity Traitors’ banishment is thrown into chaos as round table is hit by the first tie-break in the show’s history – but fans are left fuming by another cliffhanger

Wednesday’s episode of The Celebrity Traitors was thrown into chaos as the round table was rocked by the first tiebreak in the show’s history.

In a jaw-dropping episode, the stars’ attempts to exile who they deemed a traitor ended in a stalemate and were undermined by the next name being left hanging in the air.

As the episode ended, it was revealed that David Olusoga and Mark Bonnar were tied with four votes each, and host Claudia Winkleman sternly warned that neither star would leave the round table until someone was exiled.

This meant that all the stars except Mark and David would be asked to vote again, and if there was still a draw their fate would be left to chance.

Both Mark and David made desperate pleas to the rest of the round table, and each of the stars was then asked to cast another vote for them both to be fired.

But even after one more vote, both Mark and David were tied at five votes.

Claudia later declared that their fate would be left to chance, with Alan Carr stating that this was the first time this had happened in the show’s history.

But viewers will wait until Thursday to see who gets exiled, and some fans will be furious to see it. Another episode has ended on a thrilling note.

‘Like going to bed after waiting six days and not seeing exile in #CelebrityTraitors…;

‘How could they leave us hanging?

‘Not another Cliffhanger and also a double tie, I don’t think these celebs would work;

As the episode drew to a close, it was revealed that David Olusoga and Mark Bonnar (pictured) were tied with four votes each.

It was later revealed that the celebrities would be asked again to vote for either Mark or David (pictured) to be exiled, and once again in the event of a tie their fate would be left to chance.

‘Even the fact that there is no traitor in the last two is on the edge of the cliff;

‘The collapse that follows in the next episode, when they realize they’ve exiled yet another loyalist, will be an event for the ages.’

Earlier in the episode, another Loyalist fell victim to the Famous Traitors in order to prevent their identities from being revealed.

Last week’s episodes of the critically acclaimed BBC show ended on a cliffhanger as Traitors Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Cat Burns were seen discussing their next target.

Thursday’s episode ended with Jonathan, 63, Alan, 49, and Cat, 25, sealing the fate of a famous face with a sealed letter, eyeing singer Charlotte Church, historian David Olusoga and Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway.

And the victim was finally revealed in the opening minutes of Wednesday’s new episode, when Charlotte didn’t show up for breakfast.

But before the big reveal, Stephen Fry, who arrived early for breakfast, thought the singer might be a Traitor and noted that Clare Balding suspected him during last week’s exile.

Alan showed off his acting skills as he intervened, telling the others to ‘watch his reaction when he sees who’s gone’. When Kate and David entered the room Stephen shouted: ‘How wrong we were!’

The traitors settled on Charlotte because the murder “did not raise any suspicion upon us”; Alan gleefully explains that the effect will ripple throughout the group, to which Cat admits, “it doesn’t make any sense!” he said.

Psychologists have revealed the science behind Jonathan and Alan’s success in fooling the Loyalists about Famous Traitors.

Speaking on the Psychology of Celebrity Traitors podcast, three experts from the University of Chester analyzed the cast of the popular BBC One reality game show to explain why some contestants are successful.

Jonathan and Alan, along with 25-year-old singer Cat Burns, have been busy murdering their famous castmates since the trio were named by Claudia as the first Celebrity Villains.

So far Jonathan, Alan and Cat have managed to dispatch seven Faithful celebrities from Ardross Castle; They killed Charlotte, Paloma Faith, Tom Daley and Ruth Codd, and exiled Clare Balding, Niko Omilana and Tameka Empson.

Explaining the psychology behind their success, Professor Lisa Oakley, Dr Clea Wright and Dr Kevin Hochard said much of it was down to their natural personalities and how people responded to them.

But even after another vote was taken, both Mark and David were tied at five votes; The entire round table was on edge when Claudia Winkleman announced that their fate was out of their hands.

For example, experts agreed that Carr’s ‘nervous, talkative’ public persona was a natural disguise that masked his true anxiety and made him appear consistent and trustworthy.

“It’s just a slight highlight, consistent with the persona he’s currently portraying,” Dr Hochard said of the comedian’s nerves, adding that he had only noticed an evasion.

‘I’ve noticed a color change, it’s turning bright red. Actually, that’s a good explanation. ‘He cannot control his sympathetic nervous system activation to cope with his anxiety.’

Dr Hochard, head of Psychology at the University of Chester, was initially surprised that none of the Loyalists understood Carr’s behaviour.

He explained his lack of observation: ‘Even though we’re seeing it because the cameras are showing it to us, the rest of the group isn’t focusing on it because there’s so much to watch.’

Professor Oakley, Dr. He agrees with Hochard’s view of Carr, adding: ‘In any case, this seems to mask his real nerves, as his general personality is nervous and talkative.’

Proving how reliable Carr is, Dr. Wright noted how the contestants didn’t understand the ‘nonsense’ the comedian told the Loyalists after the Traitors secretly ‘killed’ Paloma Faith.

Asked if his friend had named any suspected Traitors, he incorrectly said the singer had said he had two in mind but refused to reveal any names.

The psychologist said: ‘Everyone is throwing names, everyone is talking about it and they were really close friends so if they had names he would have told her.’

Professor Oakley added that Carr’s main advantage was his humour, which helped him move through the chapters without creating suspicion.

He said: ‘Psychologically we know humor does a lot of different things, it reduces tension, it’s good for psychological health and stress.

In the first moments of Wednesday’s episode, it was revealed that Charlotte Church was the last loyalist to be killed

While loyalists began to doubt Jonathan Ross, his confidence as a TV interviewer helped him

‘The social element is very important because it builds social bonds and it’s a social game. While it’s great to watch, it also does something psychological [to people].

This may be the only way for ‘Alan’ to survive, because he uses humor as a deflection; ‘He often laughs or says something funny when asked a question.’

While loyalists began to be suspicious of Jonathan Ross, psychologists observed that his social confidence helped him in the early episodes and described him as a natural leader.

Drawing attention to his authority among the Three Traitors, Dr. Wright said: ‘He’s a talk show host, he’s used to talking to people. ‘He feels quite comfortable in a leadership role in a social environment.’
