Since the latest season of The Traitors premiered on January 1, speculation has been rife about the identity of the enigmatic Secret Traitor. Viewers eagerly anticipated the upcoming episode on January 8, promising to unveil the Secret Traitor’s identity. However, there might be a clue to unveil the Secret Traitor’s identity even before that revelation.
In the previous episode aired on January 3, the mysterious red-cloaked Secret Traitor made a dramatic entrance at the turret, confronting the regular Traitors Rachel Duffy and Stephen Libby. The question on everyone’s mind now is, who could this elusive figure be?
In my assessment, there is strong evidence pointing to one individual as the Secret Traitor – Fiona. Let’s delve into the reasons behind this deduction.
Speculation has been rampant regarding the potential identities of the Secret Traitor and the motives behind their actions. Notably, Ellie made a reference to the ‘Secret Traitor’ in a candid camera discussion.
Conversely, another theory suggests that Harriet might be the Secret Traitor following a heated confrontation with fellow barrister Hugo.
So why am I inclined to believe that Fiona is the Secret Traitor?
One particular behavior that sets Fiona apart is her adeptness at creating turmoil while deflecting blame onto others, a skill seemingly unnoticed by the rest of the contestants.
This tactic was evident in the scenario involving Ross and Ben. It was deduced that a Traitor must have been present to know about Ben’s suspicions regarding Ross, yet the Traitors failed to consider the possibility of the Secret Traitor’s involvement in the initial accusation against Ben.
Fiona was the one who brought up Ben’s statements the morning after his demise. However, she conveniently claimed to have forgotten the details, prompting Jessie to elaborate on the incident and the individuals present, effectively diverting attention away from herself.
Furthermore, Fiona raised suspicions about Hugo and Rachel, both Traitors, noting a change in their behavior from the train journey to their time at the Castle. This insinuation indicated her knowledge of their true allegiance and served as a pretext to implicate them.
However, Fiona cleverly shifted blame onto Amanda, alleging that she was instructed to observe the behavioral changes by Amanda herself, thus appearing innocent while sowing discord among the group.
During the deliberations, it was revealed that Fiona sought advice from Amanda, positioning Amanda as a convenient scapegoat for the accusations leveled against the others. This strategic move resulted in Hugo retaliating against Amanda instead of Fiona
