Final night time’s episode of The Traitors was probably the most explosive but, taking the backstabbing to a different stage. However amongst all of the drama, yet one more sport twist was planted.
As soon as the banishment on the roundtable had concluded, Claudia dropped the bomb to the remaining contestants that one participant will win “a unprecedented energy by no means seen earlier than” that would “flip the whole sport on its head”.
Because the host used the phrase “win”, we assume that this energy will likely be up for grabs throughout a mission – like a defend – or as an additional process. The query is, what’s it?
We’ve taken a detailed take a look at theories on-line to present the three most definitely choices for this new energy. It’s also possible to mirror on the highest ten finest moments from the present total forward of the ultimate episode tomorrow.
The Seer capability
The preferred principle in the mean time is that the present will introduce a task revealing energy. That is much like the Seer, seen within the hit sport Werewolves, the format that The Traitors is basically primarily based on.
It’s because a person on Reddit noticed throughout a transition shot that there was a guide titled ‘The Seer’ that was targeted on for a short while.
Within the sport Werewolves, a Seer can select one participant to seek out out the true identification of – to allow them to uncover for actual in the event that they’re a villager (harmless) or a werewolf. On this competitors, they’d uncover whether or not the particular person they nominated is definitely a Devoted or a Traitor.

Whereas this new capability could seem overpowered, tonight’s roundtable would be the ultimate one the place gamers should announce their true identification once they depart. So, it might trigger chaos – one particular person might attempt to reveal their information, however in principle, a Traitor might bounce in and faux that they’re the Seer to throw different gamers off and trigger extra doubt.
Equally, if a Traitor wins that energy, they may use it to ask a Devoted whom they know received’t suspect them, gaining a robust ally within the ultimate episode.
One more reason this principle is so believable is that season 3 of Les Traîtres (AKA The Traitors France) supplied this position revealing energy within the penultimate episode of the sport. The one that gained the facility had the choice to ask one different participant for a face-to-face assembly the place they needed to disclose what they really have been.
We’ve usually seen worldwide variations pull gameplay parts from one another, so this is able to make sense.
The Dagger – Double vote
A much less radical choice, but additionally one thing seen on Les Traîtres and quite a few different worldwide variations, is the choice to present somebody the choice to vote twice on the roundtable within the type of a bodily dagger, received within the armoury.
This merchandise is especially helpful in direction of the tip of a contest, the place each vote issues. With solely six gamers remaining, the probability of a banishment being received on just some votes is excessive.
Plus, if the vote is deadlocked (and it might be if no person is murdered as a consequence of a defend safety), then this might basically be a deciding vote that may knock a participant straight out of the sport.

Ship somebody by way of to the ultimate
The opposite potential twist is the choice for a participant to decide on somebody to ship straight by way of to the ultimate, avoiding not simply homicide however banishment, too.
Alexander and Fozia have been each exempt from banishment went they first entered the fort, which can have contributed to a few of the preliminary suspicions round them.
If somebody got the facility to ‘save’ one other participant, no matter their position, it might create heaps of pressure going into the ultimate sport. Individuals might query why that alliance was chosen, or why they weren’t picked over anyone else.
After all, this energy is one thing we’ve not seen on worldwide variations… although Claudia did say the power was “by no means seen earlier than”. Nonetheless, she’s most likely referring solely to the UK model of the present.
Fortuitously, we don’t have lengthy to attend. The penultimate episode of The Traitors UK season 3 airs tonight on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
