One contestant on The Traitors put himself in jeopardy after making a significant blunder.

In last night’s episode, the mission required players to be in cages, with their only chance of escape from potential elimination resting on the other players stacking animal skulls.

Sam was not selected and automatically became a candidate for elimination.

The three other players left vulnerable after finishing at the bottom of the task were Maz, Reece, and Traitor Stephen.

Maz was ultimately eliminated, with Reece being the last player saved and witnessing the event unfold.

Reece, who was safe in the game, seemingly put himself in a precarious position by stating to the group at breakfast that he didn’t believe Maz was a Traitor.

He made this statement because he was in the bottom two with Maz.

However, the group questioned how he could be certain, as Maz could have returned to eliminate Reece.

The group became convinced that Reece was a Traitor and targeted him later during the roundtable discussion.

Before the roundtable session and the subsequent banishment, fans took to social media to criticize the contestants for their accusations against Reece.

One user remarked: “Does Matthew understand the rules of the game? Of course, Reece knew Maz was a Faithful; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been eliminated by The Traitors…”

Another added: “Matthew claiming that Reece is a Traitor because Reece deduced that Maz was a Faithful since he got eliminated, even though that’s how the game has always functioned.”

A third commenter said: “What was that random guy even telling Reece? If Maz was a Traitor, wouldn’t he be sitting at the breakfast table?”

While a fourth noted: “Is he foolish? Of course, Reece would know Maz is a Faithful because he was the last one left?”

At the end of the episode, there was a roundtable session that led to a banishment.

The group could not reach a unanimous decision on who to vote out, resulting in a tie.

Ultimately, it came down to Reece and Amanda, with Amanda being the one banished.

Then, at the very end of the episode, tensions flared as the Traitors confronted each other.

Secret Traitor Fiona confronted Traitor Rachel after declaring her allegiance as a Traitor, following a dispute over Amanda’s banishment.
