THE TRAITORS THIS WEEK: WHAT TO EXPECT AS BBC SERIES ENTERS FINAL WEEK

The multi-award-winning hit psychological game format The Traitors, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, continues this week on BBC One.

This week

Wednesday - As the game enters its final quarter, suspicions reach an all-time high. But with the players focused solely on who they can truly trust, will the mission see the Traitors make all the wrong moves? Or will the Faithful become mere pawns in their complicated web of lies?

Thursday - It’s the penultimate day in the Traitors’ castle, and as the game nears its end, could a huge shift in power change everything? With time running out to increase the final prize pot, the players embark on a trip down memory lane. As they race towards the finish, will the Faithful rid themselves of a Traitor, or will they let another Faithful fall before the final hurdle?

Friday - It’s the final day of the ultimate game of deception and trust! They’ve survived every banishment and murder, but it all comes down to today. Will the Faithful weed out all the Traitors and be victorious, or will the Traitors remain undetected and take the life-changing sum of money, all for themselves?

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.
