Harriet Tyce’s furious departure from The Traitors, in which she named Rachel Duffy as her “number one suspect,” had no impact on the remaining players last night. Despite her explosive accusations, Rachel received not a single vote during the roundtable.
Harriet, a 53-year-old crime writer, insisted on being banished to “prove” she was Faithful and Rachel a Traitor. However, her aggressive style undermined her theory, and viewers watched as her claims were dismissed. She also implicated Roxy Wilson and Matthew Hyndman, but both escaped serious scrutiny.
Instead, two more Faithful left the castle: Sam Little, the account manager from North Yorkshire, was banished, while Adam Waughman, a ghost-hunting builder from Essex, was murdered. The only player with correct inklings is hairdresser Jessie Stride from Hull, who suspects Stephen Libby is a Traitor but struggles to persuade others.
Harriet’s behaviour drew comparisons to previous contestant Fiona, who also turned on Rachel and lost. One viewer noted: “Harriet seemed to make it personal, she went in far too heavy, just like Fiona.” Another added: “It’s a game. She took it way too personally.”
Adam blamed his murder on team-mate James Baker, who took a shield without telling anyone during a mission. “That’s 100% the reason why I got murdered,” Adam said, adding that his ghost-hunting skills had helped him read people. Sam reflected that his initial arrogance made him look suspicious, saying: “I got it so wrong.”
