TWO sisters on BBC’s The Traitors turned savage last night — as one booted the other off the show.
Faithful Maia Gouveia wrote sibling Armani’s death warrant by correctly identifying her as a Traitor at the table vote.

In the show, contestants dubbed “Faithfuls” must try to figure out the “Traitors” trying to kill them off.
Armani, 27, had been one of the three Traitors selected by host Claudia Winkleman in Wednesday’s first episode.
At the time, Claudia hinted at the conflict between the pair, saying: “Two sisters . . . yeah, we’ll see how that works out.”
And Maia, 25, was quick to latch on to her big sister’s role, sharing in the private video confessional booth that Armani was acting strangely.

But it was not until last night’s third episode that the rest of the group began to suspect.
Barber Tyler, 29, raised the prospect of producers selecting one sister as good and the other bad.
Asked for her opinion, Maia said: “On Armani, I have no actual evidence that she is a Traitor.
“I did think she was a Traitor, for a time. I’m still not 100 per cent . . . but something is just not feeling fully 100 per cent [right].”
Pressed, Maia hammered the final nail in Armani’s coffin by saying: “Yeah, maybe like 60 per cent.”
Trying to defend herself, Armani said: “I appreciate that the statistics would make it more likely that one of us is a Traitor but I know for a fact I’m not a Traitor, so either she is or we’re both Faithful.”
Maia sobbed as her sister was voted out, with Claudia asking if she was OK. Later, she said: “Even though she’s a Traitor, that’s still my sister, she is everything to me, so it felt so weird for me to betray her.”
Armani’s exit left retired opera singer Linda and call centre boss Minah as the remaining Traitors.
The show, which broke its ratings record for the series launch episode with 5.4million viewers, continues on BBC1 on Wednesday.
