traitor Already ended with a gripping ending A wild series full of twists and turns — and a few crashes.
After a chaotic journey filled with betrayals, traitors Stephen and Rachel gained the upper hand, eliminating suspicion at the last minute and winning the £97,750 cash prize. Their victory came after the late banishments of Believer Jade, Jack, and Faraz.
The finale begins with James being evicted after drawing the empty box during a confrontation with Rachel.
After the final challenge, the contestants voted out Jade at a roundtable. At the next roundtable meeting, Faraz was expelled, and finally Jack was expelled from the game.
Claudia Winkelmann praises Rachel and Stephen for keeping their contract “faithfully” despite being traitors.
The finale capped off another very entertaining installment of the reality series.
While many claimed that the civilian series (the fourth installment) was launched too soon after last fall’s celebrity edition, doubts were immediately dispelled as This year’s contestants Became a regular fixture in our living room.
Helping the dust settle comes an early twist: the emergence of a secret traitor, whose identity is for the first time hidden from the known traitors Rachel, Stephen and Hugo, as well as from the audience.
The producers clearly want to keep this twist going for as long as possible. However, fate intervened, and the loyal Harriet used her former lawyer skills to successfully secure Hugo in just three episodes. The seemingly innocent but actually very cunning Fiona is later revealed to be the traitorous Overlord, and power goes to her head.

If Turret hinted at fears of a conflict between Fiona and Rachel, those fears were realized sooner than anyone expected after Rachel revealed details of what had been confided in her by exiled former Met cop Faithful Amanda.
Amanda hid her detective past, finding out about it from Rachel (a traitor, hilariously) before being banished – but Fiona suspected Rachel had lied to everyone about this detail, and decided to accuse her fellow traitor of being a traitor in front of everyone. It’s a wild showdown unlike anything the series has seen before, and ultimately leads to Fiona’s banishment.
The implosion didn’t stop there. In another twist, three contestants win the chance to ask two questions each of the traitor, the former loyalist supreme leader Harriet experienced an incredible fall from grace. Although she correctly identified Rachel as the traitor, she presented her evidence in a rather angry way at the breakfast table the next morning. This annoys everyone so much that they eventually suspect her of being a traitor.
In another bizarre incident, she pleads with everyone to vote her out, proving her innocence in a self-sacrificing way. However, it’s all in vain, because the next day, everyone seems to have forgotten that Harriet suspected Rachel, and Rachel makes it to the end of the series without a hitch.
With just a few episodes left until the finale, suspicion is focused on true believers Matthew and Jade. Enter stage left: Faraz. The grinning Newcastle lad revealed he was this year’s Agatha Christie after raising suspicions with Rachel. His evidence? Fiona Gate! It turns out he had been stockpiling evidence to deploy at the right time.
This year’s series also featured another first – the introduction of a dagger twist that allowed one contestant to receive two votes in the roundtable. The traitor gave the dagger to James, who used it to drive out faithful Matthew. There were also two deadlock votes – one between Amanda and Reese and another between Rachel and James.
After a second deadlock vote, James was ultimately evicted, leaving Rachel, Jade, Stephen, Faraz, and Jack as the final five in the competition.
Rachel and Stephen stuck to their end of the bargain, with host Claudia Winkelmann describing the winning duo as “two traitors, but completely loyal to each other”.
