Mirror TV Editor Predicts The Traitors Winner Ahead of Dramatic Finale
After three weeks of intense drama, emotional highs and lows, and strategic gameplay, the winner of The Traitors will finally be revealed tomorrow. Mirror TV Editor Nicola Methven has shared her confident prediction about who will emerge victorious from the psychological reality competition.
The Critical Moment That Changed Everything
According to Methven's analysis, the entire trajectory of the game shifted during a crucial conversation between contestants Rachel and Stephen. When Rachel warned Stephen that he would soon hear she had been discussing him behind his back, standing in that castle turret, it was as if he had been struck by lightning.
This moment of revelation made Stephen understand that Rachel was capable of making promises she didn't intend to keep, and he immediately began planning his response. Within twenty-four hours, Rachel's entire future in the competition was contained within a small wooden box, demonstrating Stephen's decisive action.
Stephen's Strategic Brilliance
The cyber security consultant carefully and methodically fanned the flames that had been helpfully ignited by fellow contestant Faraaz. Methven notes that viewers didn't even blame Stephen for this strategic move, as he had calculated that if he progressed to the final alone and Rachel was discovered to be a traitor, he needed tangible proof that he had contributed to her downfall.
Stephen has successfully positioned himself as an out-and-out faithful despite the mounting pressure, much like previous winner Alan Carr. While appearing nervous and close to combustion under the strain, his strategies have proven excellent and remarkably effective throughout the competition.
Faraaz's Unexpected Contribution
Methven gives particular credit to 22-year-old Faraaz, who initially seemed like an unlikely player but came through brilliantly at the crucial moment. The youngest contestant in the game, who had never written a crime novel, worked as a barrister, or run a police force, managed to see through the brilliant and unflappable Rachel when it mattered most.
Faraaz demonstrated remarkable insight by getting people to listen to him and seeing through Rachel's composed exterior, outperforming more experienced players who presented themselves as terribly important throughout the competition.
The Formidable Traitor Partnership
Despite their contrasting personalities, Stephen and Rachel have formed a formidable team throughout the series. Rachel maintains a cool, cucumber-like composure while Stephen often appears on the verge of combustion from the psychological strain. Yet together they have navigated numerous challenges including an annoying Secret Traitor twist, tricky church confessional moments, and a double dagger twist.
They have endured killing in plain sight, being locked in cages for hours, and various other psychological pressures without becoming unseated from their strategic positions. Methven argues that between them, they have earned victory more than the often flustered faithful contestants.
Final Predictions and National Sentiment
Methven reveals that she, along with much of the nation, firmly supports Team Traitor and is backing them for victory either as a solo winner or as a duo. Stephen appears to be the favourite to claim the substantial jackpot, with or without his cloaked sidekick Rachel.
The TV editor notes an interesting pattern about nervy, gay men finding success in the castle environment, drawing parallels between Stephen and previous winner Alan Carr. Regardless of the final outcome, Methven believes the traitors have demonstrated superior gameplay and strategy throughout the intense competition.
As the final episode approaches, viewers await to see if Methven's prediction proves accurate and which contestant will ultimately outwit, outplay, and outlast their competitors in this psychological battle of wits and strategy.
