Oh Jack, what have you done? The jig was up for Rachel, it was over, her fate had been sealed... only for the personal trainer to change his mind at the last second and vote to banish James instead, setting up a two-way tie on the eve of The Traitors UK S4 finale.
What makes it worse, somehow, is that every other Faithful – in this case Faraaz, Jade and James – is finally on the same page. It only needed one of them to break. The inverse fates of Rachel and James will now be decided by Claudia Winkleman's chest of drawers instead. If the 50-50 goes Rachel's way, there'll be two Traitors and three Faithfuls in the final.
But will Stephen regret passing up the chance to oust Rachel? The head of communications has given off ruthless, uncompromising, take-no-prisoners energy right out of the gates. It's what led Fiona to self-destruct, and the moment things have started looking hairy for Stephen in the past, Rachel hasn't shied away from floating the prospect of cutting him loose – to his face.
Has the cybersecurity consultant bought into Rachel's, ahem, FBI training, or is he simply unable to compute that somebody might really be that cut-throat? To quote Maya Angelou: when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. There could be £76,750 riding on it.
