We'd like think if we were in The Celebrity Traitors, we'd be pretty good at working out who the Traitors are, especially as there's one pretty major clue that suggests who is Faithful and who is a Traitor that takes place in every episode, and this series' current Faithfuls are completely missing it.
The show, which follows the exact format of the civilian one, sees the group of celebrities work together to win a prize fund of up to £100,000 for the charity of their choice. However, amongst them are a group of Traitors who are killing off a Faithful every night, in order to get closer to the prize fund. The Faithfuls have their chance to get their own back each day during the round table ceremony where everyone gets to vote for who they think is a Traitor and the person with the most votes is banished.
They spend most of the day in between missions trying to work out and share theories over who is a Traitor, but there's one massive glaringly obvious clue they're missing out on each morning.
During the group's breakfast, they all enter in small groups, and by the time the final group enters the room it's made apparent who has been murdered as they haven't shown up for the morning meal.
It's during this moment when the final group enters that the Faithfuls are missing a trick to help themselves win the game. Usually the last people to enter the room are two out of three people the Traitors have considered murdering the evening before, and the third is the one who has. The producers are likely to do this in order to create more suspense for the audience to keep us guessing as to who has been murdered.
While three or four people may enter at the end of breakfast, usually two of them are potential murder victims and so if the Faithfuls have watched the show at all, they should be aware of this and use it to their advantage to suss out who is Faithful. By confirming their suspicions of who is Faithful they can then work backwards to support any theories of who a Traitor is.
And we're not the only ones who have sussed out this big clue, people on social media have been asking why the cast aren't realising what's going on with one person on X saying: "I know it’s part of the build up/tension for the show but why don’t the faithfuls realise the last person to enter breakfast is always a faithful..."
Over on Reddit, when discussing previous series of the show, others have pointed this out too, with one person saying: "I don’t know if this has been asked already. But, doesn’t entering at the final two at breakfast all but guarantee you are a faithful? It might build tv suspense but it seems a dead give away."
However, one person argued this only the case during the first season of each series, adding: "It's common to see the 'last to breakfast' trope on the first season of various territories' shows. But not beyond that."
Whether the theory holds true or not, we really hope these Faithfuls start working out who the Traitors are soon.
