Wednesday night’s episode of The Traitors had viewers on the edge of their seats as loyal contestant Fozia was shockingly axed by the two remaining traitors, Minah, 29, and Linda, 70.
The tension was palpable last week when Fozia and Leon were pitted against each other to dodge elimination, after being marked for death with fellow contestants Alexander and Anna.
In a nail-biting moment, Leon triumphed, sealing Fozia’s fate on the show. Before her departure, she confronted Linda and Minah face-to-face.
Upon realising who the traitors were, Fozia accused Linda, saying: “I knew it was you Linda, you won’t get away with this,” only to be met with Linda’s retort telling her to ‘get over it’ before returning to the castle.
However, in a dramatic twist at the round table, Linda’s identity as a Traitor was unveiled, leading to her banishment from the show by a majority vote. In a stunning act of betrayal, her co-conspirator Minah voted against her, reports Wales Online.
Reflecting on her time in the game, Linda remarked: “I’ve had the most amazing time, this has been the pinnacle of my life and to experience this at my age and get this far, I’ve had a whale of a time, so thanks for it.”
The drama escalated when Linda and Fozia were reunited on the spin-off show Uncloaked. Embracing for the first time since their fallout, Fozia expressed her delight: “I’m so happy to see you.”
However, the atmosphere soon became tense as Fozia didn’t mince her words, saying: “I’m looking forward to seeing a few of the others but I was waiting for a slippery snake to come through that door.”
Laughter erupted between them when Fozia remarked: “You’re not like an evil Traitor, if you know what I mean. Does that make sense?”
Linda tried to clear her name, responding: “I’m not evil,” to which Fozia concurred: “No, You’re not.”
