The Traitors fans praise Minah as the 'cut-throat player they wanted' as she ruthlessly betrays fellow Traitor Armani and sees her banished from the game

The Traitors fans have praised Minah as the ‘cut-throat’ player they wanted, as shocking new scenes saw her betray her fellow Traitor Armani, which ultimately saw her get banished from the game.

The show follows a group of 25 strangers at a castle in the Scottish Highlands as they compete to win the £120,000 prize money in missions set by host Claudia Winkleman.

On Wednesday night, the third series kicked off and the first three Traitors were picked – Armani, Minah, and Linda.

And during Friday night’s intense epsiode, the first Traitor was successfully caught by the Faithfuls and sent packing from the programme.

After a tense round table discussion, 27-year-old financial investigator Armani, who hails from London, received the most votes and sent the room into hysterics when she revealed they were right and she was indeed not a Faithful.

But it didn’t take long for this year’s initial trio to turn on each other, as Minah was amongst those who voted Armani out – and even planted some seeds to the fellow players that she was suspicious.

Minah got her revenge after Armani was quick to make the bold remark that Linda and Minah need to be ‘louder and more obvious’ with their tactics to frame the other Faithfuls.

Linda and Minah were visibiy irked by Armani’s comments, with the latter in particular noting that it may time to begin her plot to frame the other Traitors – and she did just that.

Fans can’t get enough of Minah’s clever tactics and have branded her as their ‘winner’ and already declared she deserves a place in the final.

Taking to X, viewers penned: ‘The whole of the UK population when they got cocky Armani out and Minah turning on the sisterhood because she can’t stand it and playing the game #TheTraitorsUK #TheTraitors.’

‘Minah is the cutthroat traitor I’ve wanted! #TheTraitorsUK.’

As she left the show, looking back on the reason for her downfall, Armani admitted: ‘I had a strategy, but it went completely out the window within the first couple of seconds,’ The Mirror reported.

She added: ‘My original strategy was that I was not going to be too loud, have a few conversations with different people and not make my opinions too known. My nature just got the better of me and I ended up yapping away to everybody.’

At the round table, Armani’s sister Maia was left in floods of tears after also airing her suspicions about her behaviour

She continued: ‘I think I was so excited just to be there, my mouth wouldn’t stop running, which was probably my biggest downfall. The number one standout was that I was there with my sister! Also ‘the witch hunt’ – as I call it – the Round Table that got me out, was incredible.’

Elsewhere in the explosive episode, a dramatic rowing challenge saw the players bring home just £5,000 of the £10,000 that was on offer for the prize fund.
