Viewers of the BBC series The Traitors were left in stitches after one star’s reaction to the latest dramatic twist in the new episode, with one fan even claiming their “GCSE drama comes out again.”
The most recent episode, which aired on Friday (January 10), unveiled the latest Faithful chosen for murder. After the previous episode, traitorous pair Linda and Minah deliberated over who to eliminate from the show following their unsuccessful attempt to persuade Anna to join their ranks.
Tensions ran high during a Round Table discussion among the contestants, with accusations flying left, right and centre. However, it was Livi who was selected for murder by the Traitors and was noticeably absent at breakfast the next day.
This sudden turn of events cast suspicion on Freddie, as many accused him of being responsible for the previous night’s events. But while most contestants expressed their shock, viewers were more focused on one contestant in particular.
Traitor Linda, who had been close friends with Livi, exaggerated her grief over her friend’s departure from the show, reports Wales Online. Fans watching from home were quick to comment on social media, with one saying: “Stop, Linda’s terrible acting is so funny.”
Another agreed, commenting, “Oh, Linda and her GCSE drama coming out again.” While someone else added, “Every time Linda ‘acts’, I can’t deal. Where’s her Oscar?” However, in a confessional after breakfast, Linda admitted that she believed she had convinced everyone she was a Faithful with her crocodile tears.
Even Linda’s comrade-in-deception, Minah, confessed she was at a loss as to why Linda felt compelled to shed tears in front of the whole group. Worriedly, Minah suggested that her partner in deceit might have inadvertently blown their cover.
One bewildered viewer took to social media about Linda’s misstep, humorously remarking, “Howling. Why does Linda always get it so wrong?” Another individual observed the poor performance, lamenting, “Shocking bit of acting there. She has thrown herself well and truly under the bus.”
Echoing this sentiment, a fan drew parallels to past blunders, indicating, “Oh god, Linda is just Armani with less attitude but the same level of delusion about how she’s doing.”
BBC The Traitors continues Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
