The Traitors star Fozia was the latest contestant to be murdered after a tense game of chance against Leon.
One aspect of the show that captivated fans was the unforgettable reaction of a competitor when faced with being eliminated by the Traitors. Fans dubbed her ‘s*** talking’ Linda due to her iconic response.
Linda and Minah, two Traitors, made a bold move by targeting Fozia for elimination in the dead of night. Despite the gravity of the situation, spectators were not impressed with Linda’s actions, even predicting that she wouldn’t survive for long in the game.
Hitting back at Fozia after days of beef between the pair, Linda shouted at her to ‘get over it’ as she sauntered away and back to the castle.
Viewers were beside themselves at the hilarious interaction between Linda and Fozia as they declared there was ‘no love lost’.
Taking to X,formerly Twitter, they wrote: ‘Not Fozia s***-talking Linda before she departed hahaha. We’ve lost an absolute Queen there I fear,’;
‘The entire face to face murder scene was a masterpiece, Fozia screaming that Linda’s time is up and Linda replying with ‘Get over it’ x,’;
‘Not the face to face murder! And Fozia whacking Linda on the way out,’; ‘linda don’t get mouthy to my fozia yeah x,’;
‘Cackling at this. I need a spinoff series of Fozia and Linda nitpicking at each other. Fozia was brilliant. We deserved much more of her,’;
‘THE LINDA AND FOZIA BEEF RIGHT UNTIL THE END OMFGGGGG WE WERE ROBBED OF MORE OF THAT,’;
‘Linda telling Fozia to get over it AHHHHHH I’M GAGGED lololol. A true icon,’; ‘Why would Fozia say that to Linda? Pleaseeeee,’;
‘That “get over it” from #Linda to #Fozia was quite something,’; ‘Fozia “You’re not gonna last” Linda: “Get over it” CAMP!!!’;
‘Not Linda telling Fozia to “get over it” 10 seconds after they murdered her. What a savage,’;
‘Fozia’s parting shot. Mother is mothering right to the end.’
The BBC show left viewers on a gripping cliffhanger last week when four faithfuls had to play a card game to seal their fate.
During a tense moment, participants Alexander, Leon, Fozia, and Anna were taken to a dark setting instead of returning to their rooms. Their task was to locate the crucial ‘Life’ card amongst a set of ‘death’ cards in a bid to save themselves from elimination.
After Alexander and Anna managed to save themselves, it was down to Leon and Fozia to compete in the final round – with viewers forced to wait until Wednesday to find out who had been murdered.
In a shock twist, none of the four faithfuls appeared at breakfast the next morning and the other competitors had to answer riddles to find each surviving competitor.
The group arrived to the woods where they were met with coffins containing the at-risk faithfuls – and after a tense trial it was revealed Fozia had lost the game and therefore been murdered.
After answering the first trial at the castle, the group discovered Anna in a coffin in the woods.
Next they headed out to a loch where they discovered a coffin inside a boat floating on the water – and Alexander popped out.
Finally the gorup arrived in their cars where they discovered the table where the late-night card game took place.
Challenged to find the final survivor at a graveyard, the group desperately tried to find the right grave.
In a flashback, viewers were shown the final round of Fozia and Leon’s card game where Leon discovered the life card – meaning Fozia had been murdered.
The two traitors Minah and Linda then appeared in their cloaks where they unveiled their identity to Fozia and murdered her face to face.
Viewers have been left ‘devastated’ after fan-favourite Faithful Dan was banished from the game on Friday, following a tense Round Table.
The 33-year-old bank risk manager from Liverpool was sent packing after he lied to pals Minah and Frankie during the challenge, causing the other players to suspect him.
In the earlier game, players had to ‘mark each other’ by placing a bucket behind the person they thought didn’t deserve a shield – and Dan played tactically by going for those who would never guess it was him, meaning he could keep his own shield.
Although he wanted to keep his tactics a secret, it ended up being revealed at the Round Table that he had betrayed two of his friends, with Minah being reduced to tears.
Despite it looking like Linda could be the one to get banished initially, the tide quickly turned and Dan was targeted, receiving the most votes and revealing he was a Faithful before he left.
Disappointed fans rushed to X to express their sadness that Dan had left, writing: ‘I’m so annoyed Dan is gone,he’s the only who was playing the game right. I’m gonna miss his facial expressions #TheTraitors.’
‘JUSTICE FOR DAN #thetraitors.’
‘What an intense episode and Can’t believe we lost Dan #TheTraitors.’
‘Absolutely devastated that Dan was banished, he was literally the only one in there thinking logically about the entire game. Yes, he made mistakes, but he was doing it right #TheTraitors.’
‘Seriously Fozia. I’m actually gutted Dan is gone. He’s been great #TheTraitors.’
‘NOOOOOOOOO DAN IS GOING HOME HES MY FAVOURITE #TheTraitors.’
‘Can’t even lie Dan being voted out has made me sad. #TheTraitors.’
‘It’s always disappointing when someone you root for gets banished. I wanted dan to go a long way, he was consistently himself and stood on principle!! I like that he didn’t shy away from playing the game #TheTraitors.’
‘Dan was so obviously a faithful #TheTraitors.’
‘I’m so upset dan got voted out he was my fav #thetraitors.’
Earlier in the episode, fans were all saying the same thing about Linda after she turned on the waterworks at breakfast.
The 70-year-old retired opera singer was selected to be a Traitor at the beginning of the programme and has been putting on quite the performance since.
She began sobbing during breakfast after it was revealed that Livi had been murdered by the Traitors, in an attempt to escape suspicion and make herself seem like a Faithful.
However, her dramatic ‘BAFTA-winning’ moment did not seem to work in her favour and has instead left even more people questioning her.
But, despite it not being as effective as she had hoped, fans of the BBC show still can’t get enough of Linda’s ‘iconic’ acting skills and rushed to X to comment on the hilarious moment.
They wrote: ‘If our linda doesn’t win a BAFTA for best actress in a leading role there’ll be hell to pay #TheTraitors.’t
‘LINDA STOPPPP #TheTraitors.’
‘Truly a BAFTA winning performance from ar’ Linda and the direct look into the camera too I just can’t #TheTraitors.’
‘Making Linda a traitor was the best decision ever made… her acting is cinematic #TheTraitors.’
‘Linda what on earth was that performance… #TheTraitors.’
‘Linda is an icon. Give her a West End role now. #TheTraitors.’
‘Linda’s acting is atrocious but she’s one of the most iconic players across the whole 3 seasons so far because of it #TheTraitors.’
‘Not Linda bucking for best dramatic actress at the Tuesday evening community college drama class #TheTraitors.’
‘The way everyone’s looking at Linda crying #thetraitors’
‘Everyone’s individual reaction to Linda crying is pure gold #TheTraitors.’
‘Linda crying to throw everyone off and then getting more people to be more suspicious is actually sending me #TheTraitors #TraitorsUK.’
Later in the episode, Linda’s ‘cinematic’ display came back to her haunt her and was brought up at the Round Table.
Her fellow players found it odd that she was crying over someone they thought she wasn’t very close to.
But, after a clever diversion and more convincing tears from her fellow traitor Minah, Faithful Dan actually ended up pulling the short straw.
