The Traitors finale

Normally, the finale of The Traitors sees contestants eliminating players until they are certain that everyone remaining is faithful. 

If they successfully eliminate the traitors, then the prize money is divided up equally among the winners. 

However, if there is a traitor remaining, they take all of the money. 

In the first series, Wilfred Webster used his machiavellian skills to land a spot in the final but was ultimately caught by the faithful.

However, in the second series, viewers could only watch as Harry successfully tricked his friend Molly into eliminating her fellow faithful.

Harry left the show with its eye-watering £95,000 prize pot. 

The first of two shocking twists

However, the finale of the newest series of The Traitors is set to feature a twist which Claudia Winkleman claims will change the game itself. 

In the 2025 series of the show, contestants who are eliminated in the final round will not be allowed to reveal if they are a faithful or a traitor.

The secret of The Seer

Eagle-eyed fans have spotted a clue, though, which suggests that there may be another twist in the finale. 

Claudia revealed to the faithful that one of them will be given an “extraordinary power” which will change the game. 

In the background of several scenes, there has been a book entitled The Seer. 

Fans believe that one of the players will be given the powers of a seer, which is another word for someone who can see the future. 

They believe that the power will function similarly to The Seer’s role in the card game Werewolf, where one player can see which players are secretly werewolves. 

In the card game, werewolves play a similar role to Traitors.
