The Traitors UK season 3 episode 10 highlights: Who was murdered and banished?
Trending
The episode began with contestants learning Joe was eliminated by the traitors overnight. Host Claudia Winkleman praised Joe, highlighting the emotional impact of his exit, particularly on Frankie, a faithful.
In the mission, contestants played a game of Traitors-style chess, answering questions to earn prize money. Jake was labeled the “biggest threat,” and Minah the one “slipping under the radar.” They earned £6,000 by answering three questions correctly.
At the roundtable, the two primary suspects were Minah and Freddie. After intense deliberations, Minah received three votes, leading to her banishment. As the final traitor in the game at that moment, Charlotte was required to recruit a new traitor, selecting Freddie and giving him the ultimatum to join her or face immediate elimination. Freddie reluctantly accepted, marking a shift in alliances.
Who is Joe?
Joe, a 37-year-old English teacher from Southampton, entered The Traitors UK with a strategic mindset, leveraging his professional experience to navigate the game. Speaking in his pre-show interview, Joe explained his motivation for joining the series:
“It’s such a fun show. I’ve always been drawn to reality TV with puzzles and clues, and The Traitors felt like a real-life Cluedo. I wanted to challenge myself and see how far I could go.”
The Traitors UK player described himself as methodical and detail-oriented, attributing this to his career in education. He believed his ability to plan and anticipate different scenarios would give him an edge. He shared:
“Because I’m a teacher, my life is based around planning. I have to plan for every moment, every possible question, everything that could go wrong... I think I’ll be tactical in this game.”
Despite his strategic approach, Joe admitted to being competitive and occasionally smug, recalling past instances when he enjoyed winning games with friends and family. However, his primary focus in the competition was staying calm and observing others before making moves:
“So, it's all this double guessing but at the start I just want to sit back and listen and form an opinion. I don't want to just go in all guns blazing because then that's my game over and I'm back home.”
Who is Minah?
Minah, a 29-year-old call center manager from Liverpool, was one of the traitors in the game before her banishment in episode 10. In her pre-show interview, Minah described herself as playful and competitive, citing her ability to connect with different people as a key strength in the game.
“I gel with people from different walks of life. I think I bring team spirit, and I’m always trying to include everyone, which is a natural part of who I am.”
Minah also revealed her excitement about the possibility of being a traitor, expressing her willingness to embrace the role if given the opportunity. She shared her perspective on the challenges of playing as a traitor:
“I think that's exciting in itself, and I sometimes think it's a harder game playing a Traitor. It’s a hard game, but the silver lining is knowing you won’t be murdered.”
The Traitors UK player further emphasized her competitive nature and determination to succeed, explaining:
“I’m naturally very competitive...But I also like to be honest with people and I think I’d struggle betraying people I’d become close to.”
Although Minah initially succeeded in deflecting suspicion, her time in the game ended when she was identified as a traitor during the roundtable.
