Fans of The Traitors have theorised how original Traitor Rachel could still win the game, despite facing banishment at a tense roundtable just a day before the final. The BBC show's fourth series sees Rachel and fellow Traitor Stephen attempting to conceal their identities and reach the final together, but suspicions have mounted against Rachel after barrister Harriet's explosive argument led to her own sacrifice.
With the Faithfuls split between banishing Rachel and James, a viewer on Reddit outlined a scenario where Rachel survives. They suggested that if James is eliminated by chance, Stephen and Rachel could convince Jack to vote out Jade, then Faraaz, leaving only Jack as a Faithful. The fan admitted this outcome is unlikely but praised the duo's gameplay.
However, other fans were sceptical. One commented: 'I cannot see Jack voting out Faraaz or Jade before Rachel, he doesn’t seem remotely suspicious of either of them.' Another added: 'Surely Rachel is gone next (if she survives the chests). Once James gets up and says Faithful surely Rachel is toast?'
Ahead of the series, Rachel said: 'I will do anything to win. Nothing's off the table. I'm very good at knowing the difference between reality and a game.' The Traitors final airs tonight at 8.30pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
