Contestants on The Traitors have banished faithful Alex in Thursday’s episode, in which Charlotte was seduced to become a traitor by Minah.
At the start of the episode, Charlotte, who has been putting on a Welsh accent despite being from London, could be seen wearing her traitor hood for the first time to join “the dark side”, as they decided to murder Anna, who had previously raised suspicions about Minah.
Speaking about her time on the BBC reality gameshow, after being murdered, Anna said: “If I could do one thing differently it would be to not hold back at the roundtables.
“If I played it again I would make sure to get those suspicions out, regardless of whether people shared them or not. It’s always easier in hindsight, though.”
In Thursday’s mission the contestants split into two groups of five, with one travelling to a dolls’ house in the middle of the woods and the other remaining at the castle.
Those in the dolls’ house were challenged to relay nursery rhymes being sung backwards by the dolls to those in the castle, who then had to interpret them and shout out what they were.
One shield was also hidden in the woods in a bear, which was taken by Jake, who decided not to tell his fellow contestants what he had found.
At the roundtable, Alex said recently banished traitor Linda had never thrown another traitor under the bus, which raised suspicions among the contestants.
Alex’s attempts to defend himself drew further suspicion, and Leon was also accused by Leanne and Charlotte over a perceived change in behaviour, after he took part in Wednesday’s deathmatch, in which Fozia was murdered in plain sight by the traitors.
With eight votes, Alex was banished by the contestants, and told them as he left: “I would like to say thank you to everybody in this room.
“I have had the best time of my life, and met the most amazing and wonderful people, every single one of you is absolutely amazing, and I wish you all the best of luck. I am a faithful.”
Speaking after leaving the show, Alex said he was “disappointed” to have not been picked as a traitor, saying he did not want to be a faithful.
He added: “For me, leaving came exactly at the right time. It was such a bizarre situation.
“So many things had happened, and I was so aware how guilty people thought I was, that the moment of vindication that I got from being able to stand up in front of everybody and say, I’m a faithful, was worth more than any money, and I sincerely mean that, I think.
“I was so ready to get out of there, and I was so ready to prove my innocence.”
In the show contestants attempt to identify who among them are “faithfuls” and who are “traitors”, with the traitors plotting to murder the faithfuls, and the faithfuls trying to identify and banish the traitors.
Finalists have a chance of winning a chunk of the £120,000 prize, but if a traitor survives until the very end, unidentified, they take home the full prize pot, and any faithfuls left go home with nothing.
The Traitors returns to BBC One and iPlayer on Friday at 9pm.
