The Traitors fans ‘desperate’ for Faithfuls to win following ‘cruel’ Rachel scenes
Fans weren't happyThe Traitors was back on our screens again last night, but fans seemed to get quite frustrated at Rachel throughout the episode.
Last night, viewers – along with Rachel and Stephen – learned that Fiona was the Secret Traitor all along. And while fans were quite thrilled at that revelation, it didn’t take long before viewers actually started siding with the Faithfuls.
There was yet another roundtable, where Ross was ultimately banished. But to get to that decision, Rachel took her chance to really put Ross in the frame. So much so, that fans have now turned against her.
What did Rachel do on The Traitors?
During Wednesday’s episode, Fiona, Rachel and Stephen had to work once again to keep their true identities hidden. And that meant putting others in the frame.
For Rachel, she decided that Ross would be the easiest one to look guilty, considering he already had raised some suspicion from the very beginning.
At the roundtable, Rachel kept explaining why she thought Ross was a Traitor. And she refused to let it go. The contestants discussed how Ross looked guilty due to things that have been previously said in other episodes.
However, when Ross tried to defend himself, adamant that someone was setting him up, Rachel decided to go one step further and ask Ross: “Was Hugo this dramatic in the turret?”
The turret is where the Traitors gather for their secret meetings, to decide what should happen next, and who should be murdered.
But Ross didn’t really understand what Rachel was implying. And ultimately, it was her genuine confusion that led to more and more people suspecting he was hiding something.
In the end, Ross was banished from the castle, leaving many of the contestants shocked when he revealed he had been a Faithful the whole time.
However, fans weren’t too happy with the way it played out. And are actually now finding themselves on Team Faithfuls.
Fans supporting the Faithfuls to win show
Taking to social media throughout and after the episode, fans shared their opinions, with many believing Rachel went too far.
One wrote: “This is the first time ever I have been rooting for the Faithfuls. The Traitors just aren’t doing it for me this year.”
Another added: “I’m purely rooting for the Faithfuls now for Ross after that.”
“I didn’t like what Rachel just did to Ross. That me uncomfortable, even for this games standards” a third commented.
An annoyed fan wrote: “I initially thought she was brilliant. But now I think she’s trying to be too clever. Her comments about the turret were risky and over confident.”
One fan even thinks it may have made her look more suspicious to the other Faithfuls. They penned: “I think Rachel’s weird turret mind game was incredibly cruel and targeted. If no one brings that up as a weird move then I will be shocked.”
However, some fans pointed out that it’s what Rachel has to do in order to get the suspicion away from her.
One said: “I think a lot of people are forgetting that this is literally what the Traitors have to do. It honestly just makes her a good player.”
