The Traitors series three ends with a bang as Jake and Leanne have their moment of glory! But did a shocking twist leave fans fuming?

After an electrifying 12 episodes filled with deception, betrayal, and nail-biting tension, the thrilling finale of The Traitors has captivated viewers across the UK. The show's dramatic format, where contestants must identify the 'traitors' among them, consistently keeps fans on the edge of their seats. With each episode contributing to a growing narrative of suspense, the series has garnered a staggering average of 7.4 million viewers, setting a record for BBC One. As the lights dimmed for the final showdown, fans wondered who would emerge victorious among the final five contestants: Alexander, Charlotte, Francesca, Jake, and Leanne.

It was project manager Jake Brown and former soldier Leanne Quigley who walked away sharing the cash prize of £94,600, having successfully remained 'faithful.' However, their triumph wasn't without controversy. The introduction of a 'Seer' twist during the finale led to a significant backlash, with many fans airing their frustrations on social media. Allegations that the twist ruined the integrity of the game surfaced, as viewers deemed the decision to introduce new elements as rather underhanded and disappointing. Despite the controversy, The Traitors continues to solidify its status as one of the BBC's biggest successes, with this season's finale netting record-breaking viewership, proving that audiences can't get enough of its thrilling mix of deceit and strategy.

As much as viewers celebrated the winners, there were also spirited discussions about the other contestants' tactics, with some players singled out for their 'aggressive and spiteful' gameplays during the finale. Fans took to platforms like Twitter to express their discontent, showcasing how passionate and engaged the audience has become over the course of the show. One standout was Leanne, whose background as a soldier contributed to her strategic approach—a reminder that sometimes, real-world experiences can notably influence game dynamics.

Already, fans are gearing up for another round of The Traitors as they discuss the potential for future seasons. Actress Tamara Lawrance, known for her role in “Get Millie Black,” has expressed her desire for another season, supportively noting that “sometimes mindless things are very, very healthy for you.” It seems the vibe is infectious among fans and participants alike, eager to dive headfirst into the mind games once more! Interestingly, a recent survey revealed that over 80% of viewers tuning in were rooting for other faithfuls rather than traitors—a testament to the show's engaging gameplay dynamics. Whether it’s the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat, The Traitors offers the perfect antidote for those seeking drama along with a touch of good old Irish wit!
