The Traitors continued last night (January 10) and viewers were left with a “pointless” cliffhanger at the end of the episode.
The new series is in full swing now and as the traitors and faithfuls battle it out for a prize fund of up to £120,000, the game-playing is getting more intense.
In last night’s episode, all contestants voted to banish one person from the group as fears they were a traitor grew.
Spoilers ahead…
That's a wrap on #TheTraitorsUK Series 2 Episode 4! 😈⚔️

'Pointless' cliffhanger leaves viewers curious for next episode
The cliffhanger saw Ash stand at the front of the group as the roundtable vote meant that she would be banished.
However, the episode ended just as Ash was about to reveal to the group whether she was a traitor, as they all thought, or if she was a faithful.
Viewers were not able to see if she was going to reveal she was a traitor but they know she is and players have to be honest so they have said the cut-off point wasn’t necessary.
Others have flipped it on its head and think Ash was about to reveal something that might throw another traitor under the bus since two of her fellow traitors had voted to banish her.

Viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their views in a reply to the show’s official account which asked what people thought of the episode.
The Traitors UK posted on X, saying: “That’s a wrap on #TheTraitorsUK Series 2 Episode 4!
“Have thoughts and theories on what happens next? Share them with us!”
One viewer replied: “Why cut off on that?? We already know Ash is a traitor”
Another agreed, saying: “There was no need for a cliffhanger when we already know Ash is a traitor”

However, another suggested more would be revealed by Ash, saying: “I can’t help but think there’s a good reason it was cut off before Ash revealed. She’s gonna drop something before saying she’s a traitor. 100%”
Another viewer said: “Can’t wait to see what she says … must be something juicy - only reason why they would leave it as a cliffhanger as we all know she’s a traitor !”
The next episode of The Traitors will air tonight on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 9pm.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
