The Traitors fans have branded Thursday night’s episode as an ‘insanely wild ride’ and ‘possibly the greatest episode we’ve ever seen’ after an unexpected Traitor-on-Traitor war broke out.
Amanda became the latest contestant to be banished at the roundtable, after ending up with the same number of votes as Reece and failing to pick the chest with the shield inside.
But after the banishment, the drama only ratcheted up, as in a moment no one saw coming, Traitors Fiona and Rachel turned on each other.
Their unexpected feud kicked off when Rachel decided to share with the wider group that Amanda had revealed to her that her secret former career as a detective.
Viewers believe her masterplan with sharing the information was to legitimize Amanda’s theories about who was a Traitor, such as Sam and Jade, diverting attention away from the real Traitors.
However, Fiona had different reaction, seemingly jealous over the fact that Amanda hadn’t told her about her police career, she was unable to comprehend why she would divulge that secret to Rachel instead.

Convinced that the only solution was that Rachel was lying, she pulled her for a private chat to voice her suspicions, with the conversation between the two women quickly becoming heated.
Shutting down the chat, a stunned and angered Rachel rushed to the kitchen to relay Fiona’s accusations to the wider group, causing Fiona to outright declare that Rachel was a Traitor to everyone, sending their fellow Traitor Stephen into panic.
With tensions running higher than ever before, later that night, the trio arrived at the famous Traitors turret for a confrontation, with Rachel telling the camera: ‘I have done nothing wrong.
‘I want to see what she has to say for herself, but the fact that she came for me means I’m coming right for her.’
While Fiona said: ‘I’ve thrown a grenade in. It is up to you, Rachel, how you want this, but I promise you this, you’ve got a fight on your hands, girl.’
The episode left on yet another cliffhanger, with the two women lowering their hoods to stare at each other in silence, while an uncomfortable Stephen looked on.
Fiona’s out-of-nowhere decision to throw a fellow Traitor under the bus so publicly and so early on thrilled fans watching at home, who rushed to X to declare the episode had been ‘pure cinema’ and chaos.
While they expressed their delight at all the drama, insisting that the show had never been so messy and calling for it to ‘win every Oscar, BAFTA and Nobel Prize.’
