Traitors viewers were left unhappy after Faithful Reece was murdered at the start of tonight’s (January 9) episode.
Friday’s instalment picked up from the previous night, shortly after Traitor Fiona went on the offensive, openly accusing fellow Traitor Rachel in front of the entire group.
The tense exchange followed Rachel’s revelation that Amanda — who was banished at the round table — had privately told her she was a retired police detective.
Fiona accused Rachel of lying, insisting Amanda had never shared that information with her. “I think you have done this for your own benefit,” Fiona said, adding that she didn’t believe Rachel “for one minute”.

When they later reunited in the turret, Fiona and Rachel confronted each other over the situation. Despite admitting they no longer saw eye to eye as Traitors, the pair — alongside Stephen — still had to agree on a murder that evening.
Acknowledging that many players did not suspect him of being a Traitor, the group ultimately decided to target Reece, who had narrowly avoided elimination several times throughout the series.
The following morning, Reece failed to return to breakfast, confirming the Traitors’ joint decision.
Viewers were quick to react — and many were unimpressed — taking to social media to voice their frustration.
