The Traitors UK Series 1 is an intense, psychologically thrilling gameshow with eliminations each week. Here are all the players who did not make it to the end.
The reality showreturned on BBC One and iPlayer with 22 new contestants. So far, fans have reacted very positively to the season premiere.
The Traitors UK, with host Claudia Winkleman, centers around players placed in a castle in the Scottish Highlands for a game of wits and betrayal. They are divided into two groups: The ‘faithful’ and ‘traitors,’ both aiming to eliminate the other and win up to £120,000.
Throughout the show, players either get ‘murdered’ by the Traitors or ‘banished’ by a Faithful. The show is expected to have 12 episodes, but so far, several contestants have already been exiled from the castle.
