The Traitors final twist that could change everything – and ruin it all

There’s not agelong to spell present earlier The Traitors play 3 comes to an end, and we won’t rather cognize what to bash with ourselves arsenic we impatiently hold for the celebrity version to drop.

This twelvemonth has been afloat of adjacent much iconic one-liners, misspelt names connected chalkboards and Claudia Winkleman’s incredibly outfits, and has fixed america each the play we ne'er knew we needed.

The 3 archetypal Traitors successful the ‘sisterhood’, Armani Gouveia, Linda Rands, and Minah Shannon person each present been banished, with Charlotte Berman and her fake Welsh accent having conscionable recruited Freddie Fraser to articulation her connected the acheronian side.

Before we find retired if they’ll marque it to the precise end, and travel successful Harry Clark’s footsteps aft helium walked distant with the £95,000 prize pot, we person yet to observe 1 much twist to the game.

Plenty of fans deliberation they’ve worked retired what it could be, with a shocking further relation successful the signifier of a ‘Seer’ being hinted at already, but determination whitethorn beryllium different astonishment awaiting us.

Claudia antecedently teased: ‘One of you volition triumph an bonzer powerfulness that could crook the full crippled connected its head.’

She’d besides earlier revealed that for the archetypal time, the finalists wouldn’t observe if the banished players successful the last roundtable were really Faithfuls oregon Traitors.

But different versions of The Traitors person a full caller twist – though we’re not definite we’d privation this one.

Some planetary editions of the execution enigma gameshow person a ‘Traitor’s Dilemma’ astatine the end, wherever those remaining tin take to divided the wealth oregon bargain it all, whether they beryllium Faithfuls oregon Traitors.

If they each take to share, they bash so, but if lone immoderate take to share, the others that chose bargain instrumentality it from them. If nary take stock and they each take steal, nary 1 wins the money.

This could hap with each Traitors, each Faithfuls, oregon determination are adjacent versions with a premix of them, meaning being the lone Traitor successful the last wouldn’t warrant an automatic win, rendering that accomplishment efficaciously pointless.

One instrumentality argued connected Reddit that this twist should nevertheless lone use to Traitors and not Faithfuls, explaining: ‘The reply is Trust. In bid for them each to triumph a stock of the gold, each the Faithful indispensable Trust that the players they extremity the crippled with are each Faithful, similar themselves. Because they don’t cognize who’s Faithful and who’s Traitor.

‘But erstwhile Traitors extremity the crippled together, they cognize they’re determination with Traitors, truthful there’s nary Trust involved. And that is the intent of the Traitors Dilemma, to guarantee that, similar the Faithful, each the Traitors lone stock the golden if they each Trust each other.

‘So The Traitors is simply a crippled wherever not lone are Faithful required to Trust each other, but Traitors indispensable bash the aforesaid if their assertion is to stock the win.’

In play 1 of the UK version, Faithfuls Aaron Evans, Hannah Byczkowski, and Meryl Williams won the game, truthful their last hazard was choosing to extremity it adjacent though they didn’t cognize for definite if their chap players were inactive Faithful oregon tricking them.

In play two, Harry was the lone Traitor remaining. But this clip around, could determination beryllium much than one, forcing them to divided oregon steal? Or could the remaining Traitor person to play the divided oregon bargain crippled against the Faithfuls?

It seems fans aren’t hoping so, arsenic 1 labelled the Golden Balls-style twist ‘so bad’ connected Reddit, portion different called it a ‘disgrace’ and the 3rd pointed retired it was ‘fundamentally flawed’.

However, erstwhile it was applied to the Australian Traitors play 2 finale, it was wide applauded.

In that series, all 3 last Traitors chose to steal, aft 2 had conspired to enactment against 1 and bargain it for themselves, leaving her with nothing, earlier she played them astatine their ain crippled and declared that if she wasn’t winning immoderate money, ‘none of america were going to’.

At the time, Dav-Kripler said connected Reddit: ‘Brilliant. I consciousness similar I witnessed the top finale successful world tv history.’

‘I loved it successful the consciousness of AU S2 Finale – it is iconic present and everlastingly volition beryllium remembered. However I hold that one lone loved it due to the fact that I hated Sam and wanted him to get what helium deserved (Blake besides for not lasting up to him and getting escaped of him),’ @GG90s agreed.

But could we spot the aforesaid happening betwixt Freddie and Charlotte, oregon betwixt them and the Faithfuls? Only clip volition tell…

The Traitors continues contiguous astatine 9pm connected BBC One and iPlayer.
