UPDATE: The first murder victim of The Traitors has been confirmed following last night’s shocking episode on July 14, 2023. Contestant Netty, a 42-year-old primary school nursery teacher, expressed her devastation after receiving the murder letter, admitting she felt “gutted” to be the inaugural contestant eliminated from the show.
In an emotional moment, Netty revealed she shed “happy tears” upon learning of her fate, stating, “Oh no! I’m so gutted, I think I’d have been a very good Faithful. Maybe I was too loud.” Her exit has left fans and fellow contestants buzzing, as she reflects on her earlier strategy of observation, which she ultimately abandoned. “If I knew what was coming, I probably would have stayed a little bit quieter,” she lamented.
Netty’s departure from the castle was described as “bittersweet.” She emphasized that although her time was shorter than she had hoped, it was still meaningful. “I didn’t have the time that I had hoped to have, but I think I’ve had the time I was meant to have,” she shared, highlighting the experience as invaluable.
The dramatic twist was compounded by her unexpected reunion with Ross, an old acquaintance, who she had not seen in years. Despite their history, Netty dismissed any notion that her connection to Ross influenced her elimination. “I think in the first instant, because it has been so long since I’d seen him, I don’t think I even remembered his name!” she laughed.
Ross, however, expressed concern that their connection made him a target among contestants. He stated that Netty’s enthusiastic greeting upon their arrival may have raised suspicions about their alliance. “This is not going to be good for the game,” he remarked.
The stakes of the competition are high, with a prize fund of £100,000 at risk. Contestants are vying for the chance to secure this life-changing amount, which Netty initially aimed to use for traveling with her daughter. She noted that while she had considered taking on the role of a Traitor, she found solace in being a Faithful instead. “I got to relax being a Faithful…I was happy to be a Faithful,” she reflected.
One of her most memorable moments on the show was a mission involving rowing and a series of coffins, which left her both amused and engaged. “That mission was really good fun, and it brought us all together in that little group,” she recalled.
As the show continues to unfold, viewers are left wondering who will be the next victim and how alliances will shift in the wake of Netty’s exit. Her departure highlights the tension and emotional stakes of the game, making it a must-watch for fans.
Stay tuned for more updates as the drama on The Traitors unfolds. This season promises to deliver intense moments, unexpected twists, and emotional farewells as contestants navigate alliances and betrayals for the coveted prize.
