“The nation weeps”: The internet reacts to The Traitors elimination
The recent elimination on The Traitors has sent fans reeling and prompted a surge of grief and online commentary by heartbroken viewers.
Spoilers ahead. The seventh episode was staged to be a critical one, as the nation and particularly the LGBTQIA+ viewers waited with baited breath to finally discover whether retired teached Diane was eliminated or not. “4 MILLION people tuned in to the state funeral of ar Diane – sorry, I mean – a new record high of 4 million tuned into episode 7 of #he Traitors on BBC One last night,” SUPER TV commented.
The previous episode saw the traitors (Miles Asteri, a 36-year-old veterinary nurse from Worcestershire, Harry Clark, a 22-year-old army engineer from Slough, and Paul Gorton, a 36-year-old business manager from Manchester) bestowed with the task of eliminating a player via ‘poisoned’ chalice.
In last night’s episode, it was revealed that it was in fact Diane who took a sip, however unlike last season the player would remain in the game for another day.
