The Traitors viewers were left fuming after the latest brutal murder on the BBC show, with many demanding to see an ‘uncloaked reaction’ after the latest dumping
Fans of The Traitors were shocked by another edge-of-your-seat episode, as they clamoured to witness Maia’s ‘uncloaked reaction’ after a stunning elimination. In the latest gripping installment on Wednesday night’s hit BBC programme, Maia met her demise shortly after doubting her sister – Traitor Armani, asserting she was “60 per cent” certain Armani wasn’t loyal.
Last Friday (January 3), Maia was part of the decision that led to Armani’s banishment, and despite the show’s reputation for harsh departures, viewers didn’t see her own murder coming. Crowding onto to social media, fans expressed their eagerness, with one stating: “I just immediately need Maia’s uncloaked reaction to who the traitors really are #TheTraitors”, whereas another felt for the contestant, commenting: “Oh that is mean. Poor Maia”.
A third viewer thought that betrayal went beyond what was acceptable, posting: “watching #TheTraitors a little behind but they did my girl sooooo dirty like had maia not been through enough? ? ? “. Linda, the retired opera singer and Minah, a call centre manager, are now the final two Traitors standing in the castle, under intense scrutiny to be exposed.
Before being ousted, Armani’s removal followed the departure of four Faithfuls – Yin in the opening episode, followed by Nathan, Elen, and Keith. Maia, before stepping into the drama of the castle as a full-time mum, stated her strategy would be “to act dumb, but not too dumb”, yet her shrewd action at the previous week’s table might have proven indispensable to her team.
“I can’t just sit on that Round Table and not have an opinion,” she stated before the show aired. “I have to twist everything to make it seem like I’m really, really upset. And I’ve done that a lot in my life. So, acting dumb, but also, I think being good at the Missions.”, reports the Mirror.
Viewers were quick to weigh in on Maia’s surprise departure, with some praising the Traitors for their smart play. Comments came flooding in on social media with one person posting: “I’m 5 minutes behind on #TheTraitors but I wasn’t expecting them to murder Maia. Wow! ! Clever though, that does put a lot of attention on Freddie.”
While another fan suggested Armani had sealed her own fate, tweeting: “Armani should have definitely murdered her sister Maia at the first murder because Maia has 100% clocked that Armani is a Traitor.”
