Fans of "The Traitors" are engaged in speculation following a suspenseful torch-lighting ceremony in the latest episode. The unexpected twist left four contestants - Carsten "Bergie" Bergersen, Kate Chastain, Mercedes "MJ" Javid, and Trishelle Cannatella - vulnerable to elimination.
In contrast to the typical banishing ceremony, a tense ally chain game allowed players to save each other by lighting torches. Parvati Shallow, already revealed as a Traitor, remained unaffected by the game's outcome.
Viewers on X (formerly Twitter) are divided in their predictions. Some fans advocate for Bergie's elimination due to his association with the disliked player Peter Weber. On the other hand, a passionate group calls for Trishelle's exit, labeling her as one of the most insufferable contestants.
I cannot stand her on a personal level but the game is made for her, a pathological liar, but to cry on cue?!! Brava bvtch???????? She’s an actress or a sociopath for sure. #TheTraitorsUS #TheTraitors pic.twitter.com/Dcmx3gxyjZ
