Since the latest season of The Traitors premiered on January 1, viewers have been eagerly speculating about the identity of the enigmatic Secret Traitor, sharing their theories on social platforms. Anticipation peaked among BBC audiences as they were promised a revelation in the upcoming episode on January 8. However, I believe I may already have a clue as to who the Secret Traitor might be.
In the previous episode, which aired on January 3, the mysterious figure in the red cloak made a dramatic appearance at the turret, finally confronting the regular Traitors Rachel Duffy and Stephen Libby. The question on everyone’s mind now is, who could this person be?
In my view, there is only one plausible candidate for the Secret Traitor – Fiona. Allow me to elaborate on my reasoning.
Various theories have been circulating regarding the identity and motives of the Secret Traitor. For instance, Ellie was caught mentioning the term ‘Secret Traitor’ during a personal monologue.
On the other hand, some suspect that Harriet could be the elusive Secret Traitor following a confrontational exchange with fellow barrister Hugo.
Yet, why am I so convinced it’s Fiona?
One key observation I’ve made is Fiona’s skillful manipulation of situations, deflecting blame onto others while subtly stoking tensions among the contestants.
For instance, there was a critical moment involving Ross and Ben where it became apparent that a Traitor must have been present to know about Ben’s incriminating remarks. Despite this revelation, the Traitors failed to consider that the Secret Traitor might also have been in that room, implicating Ben in the process.
Following Ben’s disclosure, Fiona conveniently claimed forgetfulness, prompting Jessie to recount the incident, effectively diverting attention away from herself.
Furthermore, Fiona raised suspicions about Hugo and Rachel, both Traitors, alleging a change in their behavior from the train journey to their time at the Castle, insinuating their guilt and implicating them.
However, she cleverly shifted blame onto Amanda, claiming that Amanda had prompted her to scrutinize the behavioral changes, creating a façade of innocence while subtly manipulating the situation.
During a crucial roundtable discussion, Amanda revealed Fiona’s attempts to seek advice, leading to suspicions being cast on Amanda instead of Fiona
