The Traitors: Decoding the Top 4 Secret Traitor Fan Theories
Decoding the Secret Traitor: Top 4 Fan Theories
The BBC’s enthralling reality show, The Traitors, has once again ensnared audiences with its latest season. As the competition heats up, viewers are abuzz with speculation about the identity of the Secret Traitor. This mysterious figure presents a murder shortlist to the other Traitors each night, while their identity remains concealed from both the Faithful and the other Traitors. The revelation of the Secret Traitor’s identity will signal the end of their reign, adding a thrilling twist to the game.
Jade or Roxy: The Handwriting Theory
One of the most compelling pieces of physical evidence hinting at the Secret Traitor’s identity is the handwriting on the scrolls left in the turret. These scrolls list the undercover killer’s three murder options. While it’s possible for the Secret Traitor to disguise their handwriting or have the names rewritten by production staff, eagle-eyed fans have noticed striking similarities between the writing on the scrolls and the names on the round table blackboards.
The closest matches appear to be Jade or Roxy. Viewers have pointed out the similarities between their writing styles and that of the Secret Traitor, particularly when it comes to writing the name ‘James’. This theory has gained significant traction among fans, who are meticulously analyzing every detail to uncover the truth.
Harriet’s Portrait on the Wall
In a recent episode of The Traitors: Uncloaked, the spin-off show hosted by Ed Gamble, viewers noticed four portraits hanging on the wall of the set. These portraits featured known Traitors Hugo, Rachel, and Stephen, as well as a picture of Harriet, a crime writer and former barrister. This subtle clue has led many to speculate that Harriet could be the Secret Traitor.
Adding fuel to this theory, Harriet was instrumental in the banishment of Hugo. She quickly brought up Hugo’s name at the roundtable, suggesting that his background as a barrister made him a prime target for the Traitors. Her strategic move has led some viewers to believe that she knew Hugo’s true identity as a Traitor, further supporting the theory that she is the Secret Traitor.
Ellie’s ‘Secret Traitor’ Slip-Up
In episode three, 33-year-old psychologist Ellie made a statement that has left viewers questioning her true identity. She told the camera, “I think being more reserved, you can benefit from it at the beginning but as the game goes on, people will turn to you eventually and question whether you are just sitting and waiting as a kind of Secret Traitor. So I have to be careful.”
This statement has led some viewers to believe that Ellie accidentally let slip her true identity. One viewer wrote on social media, “Ellie, no question! She even mentioned the phrase ‘secret traitor’ which only the secret traitor would know about.” This theory suggests that Ellie’s slip-up was a subconscious reveal of her true role in the game.
The Strategic Moves of the Secret Traitor
As the game progresses, the strategic moves of the Secret Traitor become increasingly evident. The Secret Traitor’s ability to manipulate the game and influence the decisions of the other players is a testament to their cunning and intelligence. Viewers are closely watching the interactions and decisions of the contestants, looking for clues that might reveal the Secret Traitor’s identity.
The Secret Traitor’s reign will continue until the other Traitors earn back their power, as explained by host Claudia Winkleman. This dynamic adds an extra layer of suspense and intrigue to the show, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
