BBC The Traitors fans fuming as they ‘work out’ winner after shield twist

The Traitors fans are convinced they know who will win the BBC show after the latest episode.

The Traitors fans have made their prediction for this series’ champion – and they’re far from pleased.

With the BBC programme’s finale looming, countless viewers have become convinced that Traitors Rachel and Stephen are set to claim the cash prize.

However, during Wednesday’s episode (January 21) of the popular series – which is hosted by Claudia Winkleman – Rachel began feeling the pressure when Faraaz cast doubt upon her.

Meanwhile, Jack – who has successfully dodged both suspicion and elimination throughout the series thus far – managed to obtain a shield during the most recent challenge, safeguarding him from potential murder that evening.

Fans reckon these latest developments have positioned him to triumph, with many annoyed as they believe he hasn’t earned victory, reports Wales Online.

Numerous fans flocked to X, previously known as Twitter, to voice their opinions during the broadcast, with one declaring: “I’m literally furious about how good this series has been and it’s all going to amount to Jack winning.”

“All this excitement episode after episode just for Jack to be our winner… it’s a cruel shame,” they continued.

“I can’t believe this season is about to end on a Jack win after he was completely invisible the first half of the season,” remarked another, whilst a different viewer questioned: “Ugh why did Jack have to have a shield?”

“Why can’t Rachel murder Jack – why is he ‘off the table?'” asked someone else. One disgruntled fan claimed that if Jack were to win, it would be “undeserved”, while another echoed the sentiment: “If Jack wins this it’ll be an outrage. He’s done nothing.”

“Only found out Jack’s name this episode and now this coaster is sailing through to the final, it’s literally the same every year,” said another viewer.

However, not everyone was against Jack, with some viewers thinking it was about time Rachel faced scrutiny.

“FINALLY THEY’RE REALISING IT’S RACHEL,” one thrilled viewer exclaimed, while another quipped: “Took them long enough.”
