The hunt is on for traitors, and fans of the hit BBC series are proving they’re just as cunning as the players in the castle. A wave of online sleuthing has uncovered a potential connection between two contestants, raising questions about the authenticity of their initial interactions.
The latest roundtable saw the banishment of Judy, a child liaison officer, who revealed her faithfulness to the group – a twist that came after Sam voiced strong suspicions. But while attention was focused on Judy’s fate, eagle-eyed viewers were digging deeper into the backgrounds of other players.
Earlier in the series, Roxy revealed a personal connection within the game: Judy is her mother. This near-slip of the tongue during a mission sparked a flurry of speculation, but it seems another relationship may have been hiding in plain sight.
The focus has now shifted to Ellie and Ross, with fans believing they knew each other long before boarding the train to the castle. The evidence? A detailed examination of their LinkedIn profiles.
On LinkedIn, Ross has publicly commented on several of Ellie’s professional achievements, offering supportive messages that suggest a pre-existing familiarity. He congratulated her on qualifying as a chartered psychologist, addressing her as “Dr Buckley,” and praised her subsequent promotion as “incredibly well deserved.”
These comments, coupled with Ellie’s acknowledgment of Ross’s praise, have fueled speculation that their initial “meeting” on the train was a carefully constructed facade. One fan humorously described it as “hilariously bad acting.”
The discovery has ignited further theories, with some wondering if this connection is part of a larger network within the castle. Could Ellie and Ross be linked to other players through a hidden family tree, as one fan suggested?
Ross already had an established connection with Netty, the first Faithful to be eliminated by the Traitors. This latest revelation adds another layer of complexity to the game, and viewers are now scrutinizing every interaction between Ellie and Ross.
As the game intensifies, three players – Ben, Reece, and Maz – now face the possibility of being betrayed. The stakes are high, and the pressure is mounting as the remaining Faithful attempt to unmask the Traitors among them.
The unfolding drama promises more twists and turns, and fans are eagerly anticipating the next episode to see how this new information will impact the game. Every glance, every conversation, is now under intense scrutiny.
