celebrity traitor It’s been completely exposed…and we’re not talking about it Celia Imrie is doing a rag,
Amidst the show’s many murders, executions, and backstabbing, a new major element has been introduced: the “big dog theory”. This theory about two of its most popular contestants proves that celebrity spin-offs have an added complexity that isn’t present in the civilian version.
Wednesday night’s third episode of the hit BBC show was its most dramatic yet, resulting in the death of YouTubers Nico Omilana and eastenders Actor Tameka Empson is being deported after being suspected of being a traitor by her fellow contestants.
Meanwhile, the traitorous trio of presenters jonathan rosscomedian alan carr And singer Kat Burns decided to “murder” an Olympic diver Tom DalyThe episode concludes with the traitors pointing out actor Ruth Codd, singer Charlotte Church and historian with David Oluso as their next potential victim.
To date, the traitors in this series have gone largely undetected, barely mentioned during the nerve-racking roundtable votes. However, the proverbial cat was thrown among the pigeons in Wednesday’s episode in the form of a rugby player joe marler Unveiled his theory in the room.
Earlier in the show, during a conversation with comedian Joe Wilkinson, Marler introduced that host claudia winkelmann A secret war was planned between two of the sport’s most famous competitors: Ross and Stephen Fry.
“Maybe Claudia has decided there’s going to be a war between the big dogs — the Traitor team led by Jonathan and the Faithful team led by Stephen’s loyal big dog… She goes, ‘I want to see which team is going to win now,'” the approximately 35-year-old said.
Wilkinson agreed with this theory, saying that due to Fry’s world-renowned intelligence, he is possibly one of the only people in the game capable of “breaking the code” and finding the traitors.
In a bold move, both Marler and Wilkinson presented this theory during the roundtable. Wilkinson suggested that Ross was a villain in plain sight, but incorrectly assumed that he was the one who “murdered” Paloma Faith in episode two, who of course was given the boot by his best friend Carr.

Wilkinson then voted for Ross, with Codd joining him and becoming the only other person to choose the veteran TV host as a traitor. Confusingly, after coming up with the clever theory, Marler voted for presenter Kate Garraway on Wednesday’s roundtable, an illogical move that ultimately proved futile, as no one else voted for her.
Regardless, the “big dog principle” gets traitors into a bit of trouble. The fact that Ross is now under suspicion, after Codd pulled the dagger on him at Wednesday’s roundtable, means that killing off anyone who doubts him will put a big target on his back.
However, if Ross were deported, the traitor could do worse than recruit Fry. Not only would Fry be an excellent addition to their team, but it would also completely destroy the “big dog theory.”
Whatever happens, the “big dog theory” reflects celebrity traitor May offer something different from the original version. Although the flagship show has seen its fair share of prominent characters, the civilian version has no one claiming to be more famous than anyone else, essentially creating a level playing field.
However, Ross and Fry hold a unique place in the history of British popular culture and therefore hold a certain degree of power over others. If this is indeed a showdown between this pair, we could truly see a battle between the titans.
That said, the Faithfuls have time and again proven themselves to be a fickle and forgetful group, meaning the theory may soon be limited to a footnote in the show’s history. There’s only one way to find out…
