SOMETHING STRANGE HAS happened to the Faithfuls on The Traitors Ireland.
After spending much of the series treating such suspicious behaviour as drinking water, being too bubbly and occasionally touching another human being as compelling evidence of treachery, tonight they found themselves staring directly at another Traitor.
Things were already looking ominous for Páraic at breakfast. Anna thought he “looked wrecked”, while Diego had two names he wanted to investigate.
Páraic was one. “Carla is my other one that I want to look at,” he said.
And there you have it. Both remaining Traitors identified before everyone had even finished breakfast.
Diego also suspected Donal, but nobody’s perfect.
There were more pressing concerns anyway. Six players – Sam, Janet, DJ, Donal, Denis and Ian were missing.
