Who do you want to win The Traitors Final

[IVotedForYourself]

Love it or loathe it, tonight is the final episode of the current series.

It's been an original series in that there was Secret Traitor from the outset, and there have been no Traitor recruitments in the game.
Up to this point, I have been Team Traitor to win, but if Rachel is banished tonight, I'm switching to Team Faithful.

Who do you want to win?
If Team Faithful, is there any persons in particular you would like to see go home with the £££?

Ahhh do we think Jack and Faraaz will get any opportunities out of this?

No. So glad they didn't win.

Well done Stephen and Rachel, I’m glad they didn’t throw each other under the bus.

I'm not sure that Rachel would have been as honourable as Stephen was. He could have easily taken all the cash and he knew that. A true show of integrity.

We don't know, do we?

Yes the last episode was a lot of luck for Rachel I think.
Luck on the chest of chance thing at the start.
And then luck that Stephen was so nice. I think other traitors might have thrown her under the bus - not necessarily at that last vote but earlier on might have worried “I need to vote for Rachel, it looks too suspicious not to”. I think Rachel played better than Stephen throughout the show generally, but the way it all fell meant that in that last episode, her winning was in Stephen’s gift.

Rachel deflected heat away from Stephen many times, especially with Jessie.

I don’t understand why people think it would have been better tv for Steven to shaft Rachel and take all the money? It would have been expected I think, am pretty sure we’ve seen traitors screwing each other over plenty of times before. Them winning together was actually the better tv in my mind.

Also if they’ve any mind to future opportunities/ career (I don’t know how this works for traitors, I don’t pay enough attention to know if it leads to other things for them) then maybe he/ they felt like it would be better to be seen as the great guy who could have taken it all but didn’t. I’ve already seen him being celebrated for this and all sorts of jokey stuff about him being ‘the people’s princess’ etc all over TikTok. Who’s to say it won’t give him a longer shelf life overall if that’s what he’s after?

I’d have been quite happy with a Faraz win if he’d have stuck to his guns a bit after his late in the series wake up moment. His immediate return to dithering and going after Jade again was frustrating. I don’t think the other two had a clue really, Jack was set on Rachel only when it was all absolutely laid out for him.

I just don’t think any of the faithfuls deserved for win. It’s so frustrating that being dull and not having much of a clue is what gets you to the final, makes it hard to root for them honestly. I’ve mostly always been team traitor!

I agree. It was very refreshing and touching to see. I think its different if there is one traitor left at the end, they know that the faithful is going to lose, but when there are 2 traitors and one faithful, the traitors know that they are deliberately shafting their fellow traitor. I think Stephen thought he wouldn't be able to look Rachel or himself in the face again or even be able to enjoy the money as much if he'd done it. As he said, it just wasn't worth the money.

I wanted either Stephen or Faraaz to win. It’s a shame Faraaz was duped at the last minute as his instincts were right unlike most other faithfuls!

Jack and Jade were both a bit hopeless. Eg Jade going for Faraaz on the basis of ‘traitor on traitor’, and not the traitor he was gunning for. I didn’t understand this at all! And Jack should have stuck to his guns as James was such an unlikely traitor.

Rachel deserved to win on balance and I am pleased a female traitor has won. But I didn’t really like her as a player as I felt some of her duplicity bordered on unkind.

I agree but I’m not convinced that she would have done the same thing.

I definitely found Rachel unlikeable, but I was rooting for her to win all along. She played an absolutely blinding game and Stephen benefited from this.

@AliasGrape Because of the personalities involved. Most people disliked Rachel and seeing her being shafted by Steven would have given them immense pleasure, over and above the novelty of a double traitor win.

@NoelEdmondsHairGel is it ‘most people’ though? I haven’t heard anyone saying they disliked her outside of mumsnet, maybe that they find her a bit cutthroat or ‘wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of her’ but I just saw it as her playing a part, and she did it well. Plus probably the way the edit came out too.

I didn’t dislike her particularly, I just thought she was doing a good job in the game and I’d rather that than most of the slightly dull, dithering faithfuls. I don’t think she did anything to deserve Stephen shafting her, and we can never know what she’d do if the situation was reversed, so it’s not fair to judge her for something we’ve no real idea about.

I’ve seen her on TikTok posting about her mum and somewhat taking the piss out of herself so it’s hard not to warm to her a bit after that.

I don’t know why some viewers disliked Rachel, she was doing exactly what the role of traitor demanded. She and Stephen were so different, they were a good partnership. I was very pleased with the outcome.

Most people I’ve chatted to about it - friends, colleagues, family - dislike her and it’s all across Mumsnet and Reddit.

I don’t disagree that she played the game well. But that’s not what I’m saying. She was so hard-faced, self-important and charmless that people wanted to see her lose despite her playing the role competently.

I'm quite shocked at the number of posts saying anyone but Rachel, or disliking her because of her manner.
To me she came across as cool calm and collected from the start, and I liked her for it. She lost her composure a little near the end admittedly but was probably exhausted by then.
If any of the others had won I'd have been gutted as none of them really deserved it.

I like Rachel and I like Stephen.

Her and Stephen listened to each other's ideas. I preferred that to one traitor trying to be top dog. They both put forward strategic ideas for the other to consider.

Rachel helped Stephen when she had those few seconds to say Feraaz then Jack. That sealed the final strategy.

I'd have hoped Rachel would have also shared the prize pot if it had come down to her final crunch decision. It would have been hard to turn on someone you'd been so close to.

Initially I didn’t want Rachel to win but I came around to the idea in the last couple of episodes. Good for Stephen for keeping to his word. They really did work well as a team. I would have been equally as happy if Jack and Faraz had won, I did feel for Jack but once Faraz was out he had no chance of winning anyway.
