Some fans of The Traitors believe that they have identified who will make this year’s final based on the line-ups for spinoff show Uncloaked.

The fourth regular season of the reality series is currently playing out on BBC One, with the 12th and final episode set to air next Friday (January 23).

The spinoff show The Traitors: Uncloaked, which is hosted by comedian Ed Gamble, has been airing directly after each episode, featuring guests from previous seasons of the show, as well as its celebrity version, as they discuss the drama of the latest episode.

As some intrepid fans on Reddit have pointed out, however, the show’s booking policy has been following a pattern this year, with guests being invited on that correlate with the contestants that were eliminated from the game in the episode they are discussing.

They have pointed to the fourth episode, for example, in which both guests on Uncloaked were Welsh, as was Fiona, the ‘secret traitor’ who was banished from the game in episode four.

Likewise, actor Mark Bonnar was the guest on episode five to discuss the elimination of Amanda, and to date they are the only two contestants to have been knocked out of the UK version of the show by the ‘Chests of Chance’.

As such, attention has turned to the announced guests for future episodes of Uncloaked, with fans looking for clues as to what their connection to the current contestants might be.

After episode nine of the show, which airs tomorrow (January 16), the Uncloaked guest will be Kas, a faithful contestant from season three who memorably identified the traitors early on but was banished when people became suspicious of his intelligence. Reddit posters suggest that this might point to Sam or Matt being eliminated in that episode.

The penultimate episode will have Minah as a guest, a traitor from season three that was banished near to the end of the game, leading some to assume that one of this year’s traitors, Rachel or Stephen, will be banished in that episode.

Earlier in the season, Fiona’s shock confrontation with Rachel was described by some as one of the best moments in Traitors history.

It was also recently confirmed that a second season of the British celebrity version has been commissioned, with the season one finale being described by some viewers as “perhaps the best piece of reality TV in years”.
