Viewers of The Traitors were left in utter disbelief after witnessing a savage challenge in the most recent show.BBC's fan-favourite series, The Traitors, made its explosive return earlier this week for a thrilling third season, already hooking fans with a slew of dramatic twists under the watchful eye of host Claudia Winkleman.Nevertheless, it was Friday (January 3) night's episode that truly threw audiences into turmoil as they watched the contestants flounder in collaboration, with many dubbing them "selfish."In a momentous mission of the night revealed by Claudia, the players had just 60 minutes to navigate a small boat across a loch, retrieve fuel needed to ignite a ring of fire, and guarantee their safety from eliminational while attempting to add up to £10,000 to the ultimate cash prize.

But the episode's twist had them reeling as contestants had to be sacrificed at different points in the quest, leaving them exposed to potential murder by their fellow Traitors.Jake and Charlotte stepped up at the first hurdle, but greed gripped the group when faced with money, resulting in a collective decision to stay on board and abandon a hefty chunk of change, reports Wales Online.During the recent challenge on The Traitors, the contestants managed to pocket just £5,000, taking their total winnings to a modest £18,000.

After a majority of group chose to remain inside the boat, Jake couldn't hide his irritation, later confronting his fellow participants over the decision.Viewers echoed his sentiment, swiftly venting their exasperation online.One viewer humorously posted: "The contestants' aversion to actually boosting the prize is so great that this series of Traitors is going to end with the winner owing money to the BBC."Ano
