The final of BBC's The Traitors ended in dramatic fashion as the Faithfuls' mistakes allowed the remaining Traitors to claim the entire prize fund. The show, which has captivated audiences in the run-up to Christmas, saw original Traitor Wilf and late recruit Kieran outwit the Faithfuls.
In Thursday's finale, the three remaining Faithfuls—Aaron, Hannah, and Meryl—worked together to increase the prize pot to over £101,000. However, their efforts were undone when they failed to identify the Traitors among them.
The final Round Table discussion saw Kieran banished after casting a suspicious vote for Wilf as a 'parting gift'. This led to chaos as Wilf desperately tried to defend himself, but Aaron and Hannah voted to banish him, forcing Wilf to reveal his Traitor identity.
With only Faithfuls left, Aaron, Hannah, and Meryl decided to end the game, believing they had won. However, the rules state that if any Traitors remain, they take all the money. Since Wilf and Kieran were the last Traitors standing, they were declared the winners, leaving the Faithfuls with nothing.
The outcome has sparked debate among viewers, with many criticising the Faithfuls for their poor judgment. The show, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, has been praised for its twists and turns, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats throughout the series.
