What a great final! I’m so thrilled they outed Kenny!

So glad Romesh survived!

Here for #KingKenny 👑

Cannot believe Blunty basically murdered himself. The game was obviously over!

Fantastic result. Delighted with that.

Maya, REG and James A were disappointing as Traitors (REG = obviously awful), Kenny at least performed brilliantly!

There wasn't any strategy really which made the series a bit flat drama wise. And some very daft murder decisions along the way.

Loved Rom & Bash trusting each other right to the bitter end!

Great charities too.

James doesn't know if Romesh is joking😁

poor James

James blunt looked so hurt 😭

love bash and romesh

Do you think Claudia really said that about James B?

I thought Blunty was about to cry.

I thought Maya did well considering she had to deal with REG and James A!

Also anyone else just LOVE that the two winning charities were to help refugees!

fuck you reform 😆😆😆

Missed it, what was said?

I don't think so. She's a pro.

Romesh is just stirring.

I did too. She could barely get going as she was so hamstrung by all the useless and reluctant traitors.

Ive really warmed to him

Said what?

@Tinydancer. was just replying to you about Kenny and the 15m audience for Traitors when the thread filled up!

What I was trying to say...

Kenny's beta squad channel has 12 million paying subscribers and much wider overall viewership.

He will undoubtedly have broadened his audience by appearing on a big Beeb show but financially it makes more sense for successful Twitchers/Youtubers to follow the Suggs path and stay mainly where they are and diversify business-wise, possibly with the odd appearance on the upper end of this type of show.

Romesh said that Claudia whispered to him and Bash "thank god you got James Blunt out" or something.

Romesh said that there was a deleted clip where Claudia said "Thank God you got rid of James" as Blunt left. Claudia laughed but no denial.

Who were the first 3 traitors? Maya, Reg and ?

It was obviously a joke, and Claudia played along.

Just them and then they chose between James A and Amol.

James A
