The Traitors is down to its final episodes, and while it looked like Rachel and Stephen had the upper hand, Faraaz might be the one to bring them down after last night's episode [21st January.] Here are all of the clues we missed that he might be the ultimate Traitor hunter.
Well, last night's episode was dramatic, wasn't it? After James put it all on the line with his double vote, thanks to the Traitors giving him the dagger, Matthew was banished at the round table, and the Traitors were given the chance to murder again.
They're deciding between the likes of Faraaz, Roxy and Jack - with Faraaz pulling the ultimate move after the round table, which could mark Rachel's downfall. The 22-year-old internal auditor from Middlesborough has been quietly sitting on his opinions, and chose last night's episode to lay his cards on the table. Here's what you need to know.
He shared his theories with the whole group
After Matthew was banished, Faraz shared his suspicions about Rachel with the whole group - meaning that while he has made himself vulnerable to murder, the other Traitors should know where to look if he does disappear overnight. Yes, Rachel and Stephen could double bluff and claim it's too obvious - but surely the Faithful will see through this?
He's been quiet but confident
Up until this point, Faraaz hasn't been an outspoken player in the game, but he has been quietly building his case against Rachel, putting all of the information together. During car journeys, he's voiced his opinion, and has shared his theories with trusted allies, to show he hasn't just been following the pack, but hasn't drawn too much attention to himself at round tables, to ensure he's not murdered too soon.
He linked past theories together
Finally, someone mentioned Fiona! Sometimes when you're watching the show, it can feel like an episode ends, and the next day the whole cast have just forgotten the events of the previous day. Like, why did no one follow up on Harriet's theories about Rachel after the round table?
Faraaz suggested that Fiona gunning for Rachel, and then turning out to be a Traitor, could have been a Traitor-turning-on-a-Traitor situation, bringing in evidence from earlier on in the game. This strategic move could be the key to rattling Rachel.
He has allies
Faraaz has trusted allies in the game - he and Jack genuinely believe each other to be Faithful - which is always helpful for building your case. If he begins to shine a light on Rachel, they will no doubt consider his opinion and point of view, and could be swayed to vote for her.
Let the games begin!
