Traitors contestant divides viewers with ‘embarassing’ catchphrase in finale

Rachel’s fate decided by chance in The Traitors finale
  • Traitors contestant James has divided viewers with a catchphrase that he introduced in the final episode.
  • James was banished in the first round table of the episode and said in his exit speech: “I’ve learned a lot about myself, and it’s just been an incredible experience. I feel strangely serene right now. What a game. Thank you.”
  • He added: “The first round table, when the blindfolds went on, I was selected immediately, and have been from the start as a t-t-traithful…faithful.”
  • James then repeated the saying during his Uncloaked chat with Roxy, who was “murdered” on Thursday’s episode.
  • However, while a funny and confusing play on words, “Traitful” didn’t go down too well online, with some branding it “embarrassing”.
  • Others, though, loved it, admitting that they’ll miss James and that he might be their “favourite contestant ever.”
