Viewers of the popular BBC One gameshow, The Traitors, have raised concerns about the show’s authenticity, claiming to have identified a “flaw” that suggests the programme may be staged. As the fourth season approaches its conclusion, contestants continue to navigate a series filled with surprising twists, including unexpected eliminations and strategic deceptions.
In the latest season, which has captivated audiences with its dramatic turns, fans have taken to Reddit to discuss potential patterns in the show’s format. One point of contention revolves around the morning ritual where participants learn about the previous night’s eliminations. During this breakfast, contestants are divided into groups, with the last group typically comprising those at risk of being eliminated.
A user on Reddit pointed out a recurring pattern: “Throughout the entire history of the UK show, the traitors have never appeared in the last round of contestants to arrive for breakfast following a murder.” This observation sparked a lively debate among fans. One participant questioned why the Faithfuls do not consider this pattern when strategising.
While some viewers expressed agreement with the theory, others were quick to refute it. They highlighted that instances exist where Traitors have entered the breakfast room in the last group, thus undermining the argument. One fan stated, “If they mix it up, and they have, then it’s a worthless theory because you don’t know which breakfast they’re mixing it up for.”
In response to the ongoing debate, Mollie, a former contestant from season two, shared her insights during an interview with Heat. She dismissed the notion that the show’s format is predetermined. “It is random. Sometimes, Traitors come in last, so you just wouldn’t know,” she explained. Mollie emphasized that the producers have carefully structured the game to keep players and viewers guessing.
This season of The Traitors has not only entertained but also ignited passionate discussions among its fanbase. With the finale approaching, viewers remain on edge, eager to see how the remaining contestants navigate the complexities of trust and betrayal that define the series. The show airs on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays on BBC One, continuing to draw attention and speculation from its dedicated audience.
