The beloved gameshow sees contestants participate a castle successful the distant Scottish highlands with the purpose of winning a currency prize. The lone issue: immoderate of their fig are Traitors, and they person execution connected their mind.
The full premise of the amusement screams camp, and the erstwhile who seasons person done an awfully bully occupation of delivering connected that premise. This clip around, the iconic moments person been less and further betwixt – but we’ve inactive had immoderate corkers.
Here’s our roundup of the best.
Charlotte putting connected a Welsh accent
Of each the inexplicable decisions to make. Contestant Charlotte (from London) entered the castle, having decided to airs arsenic a Welsh idiosyncratic due to the fact that the accent is “more trustworthy”. It was a large plaything to instrumentality – and she astir came unstuck close away, erstwhile she ran into existent Welshie Elen, who promptly asked wherever she was from.
In each fairness to Charlotte, the maneuver has proved amazingly palmy – she’s inactive successful the show, aft each – truthful who are we to judge?

This has decidedly been the play of questionable role-playing choices. In summation to Charlotte, we had clergyman Lisa deciding, um, not to confess the information that she’s a clergyman to her chap contestants. “Every bully execution enigma needs a vicar,” she says chirpily astatine 1 point.
A alternatively other spot of footage shows her taking disconnected the canine collar – lone for her to confess her existent individuality a fewer episodes in, aft sparking suspicion for saying the words “as God is my witness” astatine the circular table.
"I request to archer you each something," she told the group. "A batch of radical person questioned the crushed wherefore I said 'As God is my witness.' I americium an ordained Anglican priest, I'm ordained and I would never, ever instrumentality God's sanction successful vain. The oath I took arsenic a clergyman means I cannot deceive and I cannot beryllium treacherous, but that lays maine wide unfastened present to beryllium murdered. So if I don't spot you tomorrow, I emotion you all!"
Surprisingly, she did really past a mates much days. Then she was murdered.
Linda weeping astatine the meal table
Another OTT Linda moment: 1 of many. After coming nether suspicion for her, er, alternatively Traitorly behaviour, the erstwhile opera vocalist decided to spell method aft she and Minah got unneurotic to execution Livi. The adjacent morning, upon ‘finding out’ that Livi had been murdered, Linda broke down into precise melodramatic tears that had the full array staring astatine her.
Linda insisted that Livi had been “like a daughter” to her connected the show, but her destiny was sealed: she was banished soon after. And frankincense went an icon.

The full Death Match extravaganza was iconic, tbh. Instead of serving imaginable victims a poisoned chalice, a la The Traitors S2, Linda and Minah had to ‘murder’ immoderate of the Faithfuls by nominating them to instrumentality portion successful a deadly paper game. Fozia yet lost, and was served her execution announcement by the Traitors – successful person.
Cue Fozia telling a smirking Linda that "I knew it was you Linda, you won't get distant with this.” As she stalked off, Linda called back, “Get implicit it!”
The pursuing time besides saw plentifulness of drama, arsenic the surviving players from the Death Match were slapped successful coffins and hidden astir the property for the different contestants to find.
While Anna was recovered successful the woods, Alexander’s coffin was recovered floating connected a vessel successful the mediate of a lake. Excellent worldly – but what was amended was watching Frankie tally to the water’s borderline to assistance reel it in, whilst wearing "the astir inappropriate footwear.” That is, snakeskin slingbacks.

One of galore moments to prima the diplomat-turned-social media sensation Alexander. Earlier successful the game, helium plays a nice, relaxing crippled of badminton with Charlotte and Leanne – lone to wholly miss the people and veer disconnected sideways into a bush.
“I’m sorry, but Alexander tin bash nary wrong. Playing badminton and falling into a bush? An adorable icon,” 1 idiosyncratic wrote connected Twitter. Indeed.
It’s classical slapstick, lone bettered by…
That’s right, the dreaded doll’s location challenge. This classical Traitors task saw immoderate of the contestants person to participate a haunted compartment the woods, filled with dolls. The aim: to fig retired which dolls were singing nursery rhymes backwards, sing the copied refrain down the telephone enactment to the radical successful the castle, and assistance them fig retired what the nursery rhyme really was.
Cue Alexander going afloat method and repeating the nonsense verses backmost to Francesca similar an opera singer.
"Can I conscionable accidental to anybody who is watching,” Claudia interjected halfway through. “Alexander is single." Music to our ears.
