It hasn’t taken long for this year’s trio of Traitors to begin to turn on one another, as Thursday’s episode saw Linda and Minah visibly put out by Armani’s cocky remarks.
Just one episode after being recruited by host Claudia Winkleman, Armani was quick to make the bold remark that Linda and Minah need to be ‘louder and more obvious’ with their tactics to frame the other Faithfuls.
Linda and Minah were visibiy irked by Armani’s comments, with the latter in particular noting that it may time to begin her plot to frame the other Traitors.
It was a move that led many fans to claim that Armani’s time on the game could be numbered, with her fellow Traitors now focused on voting her out.

‘Linda and Armani are frustratingly bad at this. They might as well turn it in already;
‘It’s always good viewing watching someone unravel quite quickly on reality TV shows. Especially when there is a proper piece of work;’
Earlier in the episode some viewers noted that even Armani’s sister Maia has grown suspicious of her, sparking fears she’s overdealt her hand with trying to frame the other Faithfuls.
Maia noted that she was doubting her sister’s intentions during a chat with Alex, admitting that she hasn’t ruled out anyone else when it comes to identifying the Traitors still at large.
Posts on X included: ‘Armani k!lls me, what do you mean she’s telling the others to do more in a game about lying and deceit. Not even her own sister is buying it!
‘I can’t wait to see Armani’s downfall not only is Minah gonna turn on her but so is her sister;
‘If I went Armani I would use this time to defend my own tears as relief to see my sister come to breakfast;
‘Given her sister has suspicions it’ll be interesting to see if she tries to defend her or admit that when they turn on Armani; Feel like Armani’s sister will eventually throw her under the bus and it’s gonna be TV gold;’

Some viewers were quick to predict the wild prospect that Maia could get her own love one banished from the game
Picking up on Wednesday’s cliffhanger, the very first Round Table saw Nathan banished from the castle with eight votes and upon his departure he announced, ‘I can confirm that I’m a Faithful.’
Wasting no time, the Traitors regrouped to decide who would be murdered and the following morning as players gathered for breakfast it was revealed that that Keith was ultimately selected.
Straight out to an explosive Mission and the players collectively added £6000 to the prize fund.
Back to the Round Table and suspicions of Elen were abound, having strongly (and correctly) stated her case that she believes the Traitors to include at least one strong woman, and indeed using her vote for Linda herself.
In an emotionally charged discussion, she ultimately found herself banished with nine votes.
Elen stood in front of the group before leaving and stated in Welsh ”Rwy’n ffyddlon” before translating ‘I am a Faithful.’
It comes after The Traitors’ smashed ratings as the hit BBC series returned to screens on New Year’s Day, with Claudia Winkleman back at the helm.
An impressive 5.4million viewers tuned in to watch the hotly-anticipated series, beating last year’s 3.1million.
The series was even met with a technical fault as fans rushed to watch episode two on BBC iPlayer, minutes after the opening episode aired.
The show sees several Traitors be picked at the start of the series while the other contestants are Faithfuls.
Over the course of the game the Traitors have to convince the rest of the players that they are Faithful in order to try and steal the whole prize pot for themselves at the end.
