The Traitors returned on Friday night and fans think they have sussed that one star has already sealed their fate after putting on fake tears
Fans of the Traitors have predicted that one contestant may have sealed their fate with some ‘acting’.
Friday night’s episode opened with the news that Livi had been ‘murdered’ by Traitors Linda and Minah. Whilst at the breakfast where her departure was revealed, Linda appeared emotional, but later admitted she was acting. Her behaviour however attracted attention among her co-stars, particularly after she recently told Jake she often hides her emotions.
Retired opera singer Linda was heard saying “no” following the news of Livi’s departure and later appeared to be crying. She told some of her co-stars: “Oh god, she’s my little girl.” Jake noticed the scene and questioned: “Why is Linda crying?” Leanne was also confused, asking: “Why did Linda just burst into tears?”
Linda said in a confessional: “I was sorry that I’d murdered Liv, but it had to be done. And I did think ‘oh this is a good thing that I can play on to show Jake I am emotional’. I am ready to perform like it’s the last role of my life.”
Jake went on to tell some of the other contestants that in the last episode he had a conversation with Linda, in which she told him that she wasn’t emotional. He said: “I had a conversation with Linda literally last night. She said to me ‘I’m an emotionless person’.” Jake, who has been suspicious of Linda since the very first day, said in a confessional: “I feel like more people are clicking on to her maybe being a Traitor.”
It wasn’t just the Faithfuls unimpressed by Linda’s reaction, as fellow Traitor Minah said: “Linda’s reaction actually made her look really guilty. If you’re gonna cry, you need to actually cry. She overdid the performance.” Linda however thought she performed well, saying in a confessional: “I avoided suspicion, I think, doing a bit of crying. It is 100% theatre, and that’s what I love.”
Viewers shared their thoughts on X, with some suggesting that she could end up being caught as a result of the performance. One fan wrote: “Linda’s GCSE acting may get her caught finally tonight.” Another said: “Linda has flown under the radar for so long and now she’s ruined it with her over acting tears.” A third wrote: “Linda being undone by her awful acting is just PERFECT.”
Others were amused by the scenes, with one fan writing: “The fact that Linda thinks she’s good at acting makes her more iconic.”
