Celebrity traitors: Ep. 4 Predictions?

SPOILER WARNING – This contains spoilers for Episodes 2 and 3. If you haven’t watched them yet, I would strongly advise you do before reading this article…

What a chaotic few nights in the Highlands. Following on from the launch, Episodes 2 and 3 saw the drama at Ardross Castle escalate to a whole new level. Paranoia is high, the game is messy, and the nation is hooked. The premiere smashed records as the biggest opening episode in UK Traitors history with 8.9 million viewers, and Episode 2 held a massive 8.5 million. More than half of all people watching TV in the UK were tuned in, and honestly? I don’t blame them.

Episode 2 kicked off with a graveyard mission that left Jerry Hall and Hannah Fry in a surprisingly vulnerable position for murder after Jerry surrendered. Back at the castle, suspicion was everywhere: Hannah targeted Leigh-Anne after catching her applying makeup before bed (a brilliant spot, even if incorrect), while Julie, Bella, and Joe were all whispered about. Meanwhile, Richard E. Grant was forced to face the heavy fallout from his Episode 1 slip of the tongue to Joe Lycett. Either way, his fate was sealed ahead of that cliffhanger banishment.

I think we all knew the outcome... — This was the first time a traitor was banished at the first round table… in the show’s history

Episode 3 saw Richard banished, leaving Maya to successfully seduce Hannah Fry into the Traitor ranks. At breakfast, discussions immediately turned tense as everyone questioned how both Jerry and Hannah survived, with Miranda and Sebastian instantly clocking that Hannah was acting differently. Crypt mission shield drama only added fuel: Myha’la eventually admitted she had one, Maya quietly kept hers secret, and Hannah raised eyebrows by pushing way too hard for protection.

So onto predictions for Episode 4 tonight… Heading into tonight, the Traitors face a tough murder decision:

James Blunt: Removing him takes out a natural leader, but keeping him provides a loud distraction for the Faithfuls to obsess over.
Sebastian Croft: Seb is playing a sharp game under the radar, making him a silent threat if he connects the dots.
Bella Ramsey: Universally loved and quietly lethal, Bella is the exact kind of observant player the Traitors need out before the end game.

With a capable Traitor team pulling the strings while the Faithfuls unravel, tonights’s episode cannot come soon enough. You can chip in to put your guess in for the murder on the poll!
