An action-packed episode of The Traitors saw a faithful “murdered” for the first time face-to-face, while a traitor unpredictably received the most votes and was banished from the castle.
Traitors Linda and Minah had previously selected faithfuls Alexander, Anna, Fozia and Leon to play a game called Deathmatch, which would end with one of them being “murdered”.
Anna survived the first round while Alexander won the second, leaving Fozia and Leon to battle it out.
It was revealed during Wednesday’s episode that Fozia had lost the game, before the traitors revealed themselves to her.
“Linda, I knew it was you,” Fozia said.
“You’re not going to last. Linda, get a good night’s sleep tonight because you’re going next.”
“Get over it,” a cloaked Linda retorted.
The remaining players later returned to the scene of the crime, uncovering the missing players in coffins around the Scottish Highlands and adding £6,500 to the prize fund through the completion of the mission.
During the roundtable, the first name on many players’ lips was traitor Linda – who attempted to address accusations from Jake and then Leanne.
In an unpredictable ending, Linda received the most votes and was banished after seven players wrote her name – including fellow traitor Minah.
Leaving the game, Linda said: “I’ve had the most amazing time, this has been the pinnacle of my life and to experience this at my age and get this far, I’ve had a whale of a time, so thanks for it.”
Later in the turret as the only remaining traitor, Minah was given the opportunity to offer an ultimatum to a player – to either become a traitor or be murdered.
She chose Charlotte to recruit who went to meet Minah at the fireplace, before the episode ended on a cliffhanger.
The Traitors continues on BBC One and iPlayer at 9pm on Thursday.
