The Traitors UK returned for its third season on January 1. In the first episode, host Claudia Winkleman chose Minah, Armani, and Linda as the season's traitors, who would secretly eliminate one Faithful at a time.

The Faithfuls aim to vote out the traitors and ensure only Faithfuls remain. The traitors' first victim was Yin, chosen in the episode.

The trio went back and forth between Kas, Yin, and Nathan, but then decided to go after Yin because to them she was the most intelligent contestant. They had known of her Ph.D, which made them see her as a potential threat to them. Fans of The Traitors UK came to X to react to Yin's murder.

"I don’t think any first murder in #TheTraitors will hit me more than Yin’s I’m so upset, she was extremely intelligent and was a true threat to the Traitors, I will miss her looks, her wise quries, and just her in general…," a fan wrote.

"I’m kind of disappointed by Yin’s departure. She was interesting and I wanted to see how she’d fare in the game," wrote another.
"The only time producers should’ve manipulated the game. We deserved to see Yin and her insight through the game," commented one.
"That Yin murder was brutal. She didn't even get to do a mission," another wrote.

Fans of The Traitors UK also believed that Yin should've been coy about her intelligence to sustain better in the game.

"The lesson we should all learn from Yin on #TheTraitors is the importance of knowing when to shut the fuck up about your PhD," an X user said.
"What do you mean we've been robbed of a hyperintelligent diva who brought in 51kg of luggage & a thousand page game plan complete with Harvard Referencing?! Yin we were not worthy!" another user commented.
"I’m kind of disappointed by Yin’s departure. She was interesting and I wanted to see how she’d fare in the game," a third mentioned.
""Yin was so intelligent, she was reading books in the library,"" another wrote.

Which contestants have left The Traitors UK season 3 already?

Yin was the very first victim of the season which started with 25 contestants. The contestants were further reduced to 21 after Claudia announced a task. It had the 24 remaining contestants divided into three carriages. She asked one contestant from each carriage to quit so that the others could advance further.

Fozia was the one to step out of the first carriage as she sacrificed herself for others, a deed she said she would get through in real life as well. Jack got out of the second carriage on his own terms as well.

The third person to get out was Alexander, who was reluctant to leave at first but then said he wouldn't mind.

The first episode ended with the 25 contestants reducing down to 21. In episode 2, the first round table of the season had Nathan eliminated.

They chose to take him out after going back and forth between him and the traitor Linda. On the night of the murder, The Traitors UK murdered Keith, in the round table that followed, Elen was voted out.


New episodes of The Traitors UK season 3 will come out on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, at 9 pm, on BBC One.
