Traitors viewers turn on Fiona as she is accused of being a 'hypocrite'

'I think she has put a big target on her own back'

The Traitors saw an explosive ending to last night’s (January 8) episode, where Fiona’s outburst left viewers turning on her.

During Thursday’s show, Maz was brutally murdered in plain sight by the three remaining Traitors, Stephen, Fiona and Rachel.

At the round table, Amanda was banished at the round table after the decision was handed over to fate.

The Traitors star Fiona turns on Rachel

Earlier in the episode, Amanda had taken Rachel aside and privately informed her that she was a retired police detective.

After she had exited the show, Rachel told the group that evening about Amanda’s secret, which rubbed fellow Traitor Fiona the wrong way.

Fiona pulled Rachel aside and accused her of lying, insisting Amanda never told her that. “I think you have done this for your own benefit,” Fiona declared, adding: “Not for one minute!”

That led Fiona to publicly call Rachel a Traitor in front of the whole group, despite both of them actually being Traitors. Fiona admitted she didn’t trust her motives and felt Rachel was only in the game for herself.

It was a huge moment of intra-Traitor conflict that shocked the castle and left everyone scrambling. However, viewers were left than impressed with Fiona’s behaviour and called her out on her behaviour.

‘She is such a hypocrite’

“Fiona, I’m sorry you need to go,” one user insisted on X.

“Fiona. Incredible hypocrite and egotistical zealot. If that’s not breaking the Traitors’ vow, what is??” another person shared.

“Fiona is such a hypocrite though because Rachel hasn’t thrown any of the traitors under the bus yet Fiona has?????” a third remarked.

Watching today’s episode of #TheTraitorsUK and everyone agrees that Fiona sucks right? WTF was that,” a fourth said.

“Fiona accusing Rachel of being a lone wolf, then becoming one herself,” a confused viewer expressed.

“Fiona is such a fool. I think she has put a big target on her own back with this hysterical reaction,” a sixth person wrote.
