The Traitors fans have predicted that picking Charlotte to be her new co-conspirator will prove to be Minah's downfall.

Minah has been a Traitor since the start of the BBC series and has been playing what viewers have said on social media is a "perfect" game, remaining in the shadows while her fellow former Traitors Armani and Linda have both been banished. She had the chance to recruit a new Traitor after they went, and picked Charlotte.

But plenty of viewers think she made a "bad choice" that will end up being her undoing.

In the episode that aired on Thursday, 16 January, Minah met Charlotte outside the castle and told her: "I feel like you are smart, and you probably would have gotten on to me. I feel like you've had heat on you and you've proven yourself as a Faithful, and as I have lost Armani and Linda, I want somebody that I can go to the final with."

She told Charlotte she could either join her in the turret or be murdered, so Charlotte accepted. While she appeared to be rather reluctant, fans noted the way she easily took to the other side of the game.

She even revealed she was already being crafty when it came to her fellow Traitor.

Faithful Freddie told her during a quiet chat that he thought Minah was a Traitor, and Charlotte said in a piece to camera: "Freddie just said to me, 'It's Minah, I think it's Minah' but, yeah, I am not going to tell Minah. Just so I have got something up my sleeve when I need it."

She went on: "Minah, she will be thinking three or four steps ahead, so I need to think five or six steps ahead."

Charlotte's remarks left viewers predicting that she could end Minah's successful run.

"Charlotte was a BAD choice," one posted on X, as another agreed: "Picking Charlotte was such a mistake."

Another said: "Looks like Minah's downfall could have been choosing Charlotte after all. Charlotte is playing against her not with her unless push comes to shove for Minah."

Someone else commented: "Minah made an awful decision recruiting Charlotte. Definitely think she underestimated bcs Charlotte’s definitely going to throw her under the bus when it come to it."

"I love Minah gushing about how she loves being a Traitor with Charlotte while she is plotting Minah's downfall lmaooooo," wrote another fan.

The episode also saw Alex banished from the castle. His name came up during the roundtable after he made a comment about departed Traitor Linda's voting patterns, which people thought was suspicious.

He had mentioned that Linda "hasn’t thrown a Traitor under the bus", which some thought sounded as if he knew who the Traitors were. Alex defended himself and protested his innocence but became the latest of the Faithful to leave the competition.

"I would like to say thank you to everybody in this room," he said as he left. "I have had the best time of my life and met the most amazing, wonderful people and every single one of you is absolutely amazing and I wish you all the best of luck."

The Traitors airs on BBC One on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights.
