‘The Traitors’ fans are not impressed by third season’s “pointless plot twist”

nme.com:

The Traitors returned for its third season last night (January 1) and fans were left baffled by one particular plot twist.The hit BBC One gameshow, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, once again oversees a group of faithful and traitorous strangers in the Scottish Highlands as they compete for a £120,000 cash prize.But there are a number of new plot twists including one where Winkleman told contestants that the few who make it to the final this year will no longer reveal whether they are a ‘Faithful’ or ‘Traitor’ as they are banished.Instead, the final players will have to rely purely on their instincts about whether or not any Traitors are left in the castle.But one twist which left viewers baffled was a contestant putting on a fake Welsh accent, despite being from London and now living in Hampshire.“Charlotte pretending to be welsh is a hilariously unnecessary lie,” one wrote while another added: “Obsessed with Charlotte faking being Welsh in the most pointless plot twist the show has ever seen.”Charlotte pretending to be welsh is a hilariously unnecessary lieYin being murdered because “she was reading the books in the library”Linda responding to the word “traitors”Good to have you back #TheTraitorsUK pic.twitter.com/QiWe2n23r7— nazir afzal (@nazirafzal) January 1, 2025Obsessed with Charlotte faking being Welsh in the most pointless plot twist the show has ever seen#TheTraitors #Traitors #TraitorsUK pic.twitter.com/Lb0kFG3d9p— Mark (@mrkphllps1) January 1, 202520 minutes into the new Traitors and already it’s pissing me off“I’m a priest, but I’m going to lie about that”“I’m a soldier, but I’m going to lie about that”“I’m going to do a Welsh accent for no reason whatsoever”Just shut up and play the game.
