The Traitors viewers conspire THREE axed faithfuls might return after nail-biting elimination plot twist

The Traitors viewers were left on edge after theorising the three axed faithfuls could make a come back after a nail-biting elimination plot twist.

And now, fans of the hit BBC show – which just returned for its hotly-anticipated third season – believe Fozia, Jack and Alexander ‘could still have a role to play’.

At the beginning of the show as 25 people hopped on the train – host Claudia Winkleman halted it and told the carriages that one person needed to get off each one.

It was Fozia, Jack and Alexander who all got off the train so that the rest of the contestants could add some money to their own prize pot – making a fast decision in just seven minutes.

After the three faithfuls bagged £7,000 for the winner’s prize pot – it appeared as the sacrificed contestants might return to the Scottish castle. 

Fans of the psychological reality took to X on Friday night following the latest instalment, and flooded the social platform with theories, writing:

But now, fans of the hit BBC show – which returned for its hotly-anticipated third season – believe Fozia, Jack and Alexander might be in for a big return

‘My theory from the outset has been that when a traitor’s banished at the round table, they’ll be replaced by one of the three who sacrificed themselves by leaving their carriage in the order in which they left. So welcome back Fozia! #TheTraitors’;

‘So the three who got abandoned are not mentioned no portraits hanging etc. Makes me think they still have a role to play #TheTraitors’;

‘The three booted out on Wednesday magically coming back? #TheTraitors’;

‘The three eliminated returning #TheTraitors’;

‘Oh the three are coming back. #TheTraitors’;

‘My #TheTraitors pitch: bring back the three who got off the train as another set of Traitors but don’t tell the castle Traitors. The possibilities are endless. Two people getting murdered, someone who one set of Traitors thought they had murdered turning up for breakfast, etc.’;

‘The three eliminated coming back #TheTraitors’;

‘Bring back one of the three left at the station as a traitor #TheTraitors’.

It comes after a legendary alumni of The Traitors has debunked the ‘last Faithful to breakfast’ fan theory by pointing out major problem that proves it’s ‘categorically wrong’.

Ivan Brett, 35, from Cornwall, was a Faithful on the first season of The Traitors in 2022.

Ivan has responded to fans as they discussed the ‘Last Faithful to breakfast’ or ‘Laithful’ theory on social media site X.

He wrote: ‘Quite often I’m told how because the final two or three players arriving for breakfast on #TheTraitors are always Faithful, this is a game-solving clue that the other players never use. Well, here’s why the Late Faithful (Laithful) strategy is categorically wrong.

‘While it’s true to say that in Season 1 this tended to happen, it didn’t always. In episode 4, Amanda was last to turn up to breakfast. Nobody was murdered that night, but they still used it as an opportunity to break the Laithful pattern.’

He explained that even without that example, viewers only spot the pattern of no Traitors arriving last because they already know who the Traitors are, whilst the Faithful’s have no idea which means they are suspicious of everyone.
