For the first time in The Traitors, a tie vote has occurred at the Round Table. But what does this mean for the game? Here’s a breakdown of the tie-breaking process and what happens next.
The U.S. version of The Traitors, airing on Peacock, follows more than 20 celebrity contestants. Among them, four are designated as “traitors” who aim to eliminate the “faithful” and secure the cash prize. Each night, the traitors secretly “murder” a contestant, and the faithful gather at the Round Table to vote out one player they suspect of being a traitor.
Final Plea – The two players who receive an equal number of votes are given a chance to plead their case to the rest of the contestants.
Second Vote – After hearing the pleas, the group votes again. However, the two tied players do not participate in this round.
Tie-Breaker Decision – If the second vote also results in a tie, the outcome is decided by chance. While the exact method varies, it typically involves a game of luck to determine who is eliminated.
This unexpected twist adds even more suspense to the competition, keeping both traitors and faithful on edge.
