The Traitors viewers react to major “slip up” from Rachel ahead of looming final

**Warning: Contains spoilers for The Traitors season 4**

Okay, I’m still reeling from The Traitors finale! Seriously, tonight’s episode was crazy, and a lot of us think one of the finalists might have accidentally blown their game with a huge mistake. I’m so stressed for them!

The show continued tonight, January 23rd, and began with the results of the challenge chests. Unfortunately for James, he opened an empty chest, which meant he had to leave the castle.

When the last five players gathered back at the castle, they talked about what had happened. Rachel jokingly said, “If I were on the good team, I’d eliminate myself!” but quickly corrected herself, saying she meant if she were a Traitor.

No one at the event seemed to notice, but Jade appeared a little wary of how Rachel phrased things. Viewers watching at home, however, immediately caught on.

One viewer pointed out that Rachel seemed to accidentally reveal something when she said ‘if I was a faithful,’ while another believed she inadvertently exposed herself as the ‘Traitor.’

Rachel is still facing suspicion from some players who believe she’s a traitor, including Jack. He’s determined to get revenge for James, who was unfairly banished even though he was one of the faithful players.

During the next round of eliminations, players aren’t allowed to share whether they are a Traitor or a Faithful, which will give the Traitors a significant advantage.

After the last discussion, the players will gather around a second, smaller table to decide whether to finish the game or continue.

The contestants will decide by throwing a special pouch into the fire – if they want to end the game, they’ll toss it in.

The game finishes only when everyone agrees it’s over because they think all the Traitors have been found. Once the final vote to end the game is cast, no more voting happens, and the prize money goes to whoever is left – either the Traitors or the Faithful.

But who will win? There isn’t long until we find out…

You can watch new episodes of The Traitors season 4 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer starting Friday, January 23rd at 8:30pm. If you’ve missed any previous seasons, seasons 1 through 3 are currently available to stream on iPlayer.
