There is just one week left of The Celebrity Traitors and the most recent installments have made it clear that fans are in for a stressful final few episodes. The seventh episode saw Ross Kemp 'murdered in plain sight' by The Traitors as Jerry Hall was banished from the Faithful, who mistakenly thought her friendly chaos might have been signs of a Traitor in their midst.
Now, The Traitors look to murder again, with them selecting three people as potential choices. Those three did not earn a shield during the high-intensity mission, making them susceptible to the murder. And the three potentials that the Traitors have selected are: Miranda Hart, Bash Croft, and Romesh Ranganathan. The question is: Who won't make it to the next Roundtable?
Join us for a of The Celebrity Traitors UK season 2 episode 8 as we dive into the events of the castle's newest shocker.
The murder rocks everyone
At breakfast, names are getting thrown around quite quickly. Joanne is convinced that Leigh-Anne is still a Traitor while Michael and James Blunt are starting to suspect Sharon. Although the majority of the table suspects Romesh might be the death, he walks in... leaving just Bash and Miranda. And, with that, Bash walks in with Maya, revealing that Miranda has been taken out by The Traitors.
We flash back to the night before and it is revealed that the Traitors suspected Miranda would be the greatest threat of the three so that she would have to be the one. Miranda reflects on her journey, becoming emotional about how much the experience has meant to her. It goes without saying that we will miss her incredible presence on the show.
Meanwhile, James Blunt decides to do some sleuthing but Sharon is sucpicious of that as he has been wrong in the past. Kenny is sticking with his fake Bash theory to deflect attention from himself while Romesh is suspicious that Michael is still here - saying that this is like leaving Porot on the table.
The Field of Screams
The players arrive at a field of Scarecrows for their mission as Claudia greets them, telling them that they are standing in the Traitors' Field of Scarecrows, a.k.a. The Field of Screams. Inside all of the Traitors' scarecrows are bundles of hay but inside some of them are bags of money. For the mission, they must work in pairs: One gets the gold, the other hangs it on pitchforks. There's also the chance for one of them to win a game-changing power... by blowing up their fellow player's scarecrows. In order to do that, they must hang three bags of gold on their pitchfork.
If any player's Scarecrow stays intact by the end of the mission, they have the chance to win that game-changing power. The mission will only end when there are three Scarecrows left standing, meaning that those three have the chance to win that power.
The group makes a deal that they will hang two bags of money on everyone's pitchforks and then decide which ones they are blowing up. In the end, they ultimately deem James A, Maya, and Kenny the most trust-worthy - which is hilarious because they are the three Traitors. The good news is that they banked all £13,000.
In the end, the three Traitors are presented with a dagger by a Scarecrow. That dagger gives the chosen person a double vote at the Roundtable tonight. They ultimately agree to pick Kenny to give the dagger to - and agree to tell everyone about it to ensure they keep the Faithful image up.
The Roundtable
Kenny, Maya, and James Acaster are upfront about the dagger, telling the Faithfuls that they decided Kenny would be the one to hold the dagger. Everyone thought that was fair, setting the stage for what is going to be a very heated Roundtable. Kenny brought up his Bash theory again, with Bash himself arguing against it well.
Michael begins questioning Sharon and, for a moment, it looks like she is the favorite to be banished. Bash then accurately pointed out what a force Michael is and wondered why the Traitors wouldn't have killed him or recruited him yet. Joanne gets some heat for her reaction to Miranda's theory last night, too. But in the end, it comes back to Sharon as Michael points out how her bheaviour has changed recently.
Kenny uses his double votes for Sharon, but things get divided pretty quickly, with more votes for Joanne, one for Bash, one for Leigh-Anne, and one for Michael. It ultimately results in a draw as Sharon and Joanne have four votes each. The pair of Fathfuls have to make a final plea each before the rest of the players.
They both do, resulting in the second vote. In the end, Kenny's double vote is the tie-breaker but the episode cuts to credits before the decision is announced. And, with that, we have to wait until the final two episodes before we get our results.
