The Nail-Biting Finale of The Traitors
The third series of The Traitors has come to a dramatic end, with a nail-biting conclusion that left viewers on the edge of their seats.
Faithfuls Face Off Against Traitor in Thrilling Finale
In the final episode, faithful contestants Francesca Rowan-Plowden, Alexander Dragonetti, Leanne Quigley, and Jake Brown went head-to-head against traitor Charlotte Berman. The stakes were high, with a prize fund of £94,600 at stake.
A Shocking Twist Changes the Game
In a surprising turn of events, ex-soldier Leanne and project manager Jake emerged as the final two contestants. However, in a shocking twist, they revealed that they were both faithfuls, and split the money accordingly.
Leanne squealed with excitement, thanking Jake for “not letting me down.” Jake expressed his happiness, saying “I feel like my body feels like it’s going to collapse but I’m just so happy.”
The Final Roundtable: A Game of Instinct
In a departure from previous seasons, players who were banished did not reveal whether they were traitors or faithfuls. This meant that the remaining contestants had to rely on their instincts to determine if there were any traitors left in the game.
Francesca’s “Seer” Power
A late twist saw Francesca become “the seer,” a power that allowed her to discover the true status of one other contestant. Unfortunately for Charlotte, Francesca chose her, and discovered that she was indeed a traitor.
Reactions from the Contestants
After being told their fellow finalists’ identities on companion show Traitors: Uncloaked, a teary Francesca said “I guess we didn’t trust each other enough.” Alexander saw the humor in the situation, saying it was “absolutely brilliant.”
A Phenomenal Success for The BBC
The third series of The Traitors has been a phenomenal success for the BBC, attracting an audience of over nine million viewers. This places it above the previous two seasons and cements its position as one of the biggest hits on British television.
Social Media Frenzy
As in previous years, several contestants attracted devoted followings online. Linda was particularly popular, with her “delightfully appalling” acting prompting hundreds of gifs and memes on social platforms.
The Future of The Traitors
With a celebrity version set to air later this year, the format is sure to continue evolving. As players become increasingly aware of the show’s production decisions, producers will need to keep making changes to keep the show fresh and unpredictable.
The differing routes of each series suggest that The Traitors has the potential to last for several more years, keeping viewers guessing and on the edge of their seats.
