THE TRAITORS THIS WEEK: WHAT TO EXPECT AS BBC SERIES ENTERS THIRD WEEK
The multi-award-winning hit psychological game format The Traitors, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, continues this week on BBC One.

This week
Wednesday - The ultimate psychological reality show passes the halfway mark, but are the Faithful any closer to catching the Traitors? Following a brutal murderous act, the mission proves to be a race against time for the Faithful to gain some much-needed clarity.
Back at the castle, will a fresh perspective help the Faithful seeking revenge on the Traitors at the Round Table, or are they being hoodwinked further away from the truth?
Thursday - Following some testing and emotional days for the players, it isn’t only croissants the Faithful are craving at breakfast, as their hunger for Traitors is getting stronger.
Today’s mission proves that forward thinking isn’t always helpful in building the prize pot. And with the Round Table looming, can the players separate emotional connections from the all-important question: ‘who do you think is a Traitor?’
Friday - As the drama continues, breakfast proves to be a wake-up call for the Faithful as the Traitors strike again. Hoping to add to the prize fund and gain protection from murder, the players question their alliances as the mission proves to be an uphill struggle.
As darkness falls, suspicions continue to rise, leading to a Round Table which puts everyone under scrutiny. Can the Traitors deflect suspicions, or will the Faithful see through their lies?
About The Traitors
The Traitors, made by Studio Lambert Scotland, is an intense psychological game in which players must decide who they can trust. In each episode, the players work together to complete spectacular physical and mental missions.
If they are successful, they add money to a prize pot, which is worth up to £120,000. But to win the prize pot, players must survive to the end of the game – they must avoid being ‘murdered’ or ‘banished’.
At the start of the game, a small number of players are secretly selected by Claudia to be The Traitors. The rest of the players are known as ‘The Faithful’ and none of The Faithful know who The Traitors are.
Players are eliminated in one of two ways; each night, The Traitors meet in secret and decide to ‘murder’ one of The Faithful and next morning when the group meet for breakfast the ‘murdered’ player does not appear.
Then, later in the day, all the players meet at the ‘Round Table’ and decide to ‘banish’ a player they suspect of being a Traitor. Whomever they pick will then reveal if they are indeed a Traitor or a Faithful.
At the end of the game, the few remaining players will share the prize pot if they are all Faithful, but if there is still a Traitor among them, the Traitor takes all the prize money.
The Traitors continues Wednesday-Friday at 9pm on BBC One.
