Former Traitors Contestant Issues Verdict on Dagger Twist Ahead of Episode
Paul Gorton, the beloved Traitors star from St Helens, has delivered a bombshell analysis of the show's latest twist, mere hours before the broadcast of episode ten. The 38-year-old, who captured audience hearts during series two, has weighed in with his expert opinion on who could be handed the formidable double-vote dagger in tomorrow night's roundtable.
The Sneaky Power of the Fabled Dagger
In last Friday's instalment of the hit BBC programme, host Claudia Winkleman unveiled one of the most devious tools in the game: the legendary dagger. This powerful item can be bestowed upon any player, including the traitors themselves, granting the holder the ability to cast two votes during the tense roundtable deliberations.
Speaking on behalf of WhichBingo, Paul Gorton has now shared his predictions on who might receive this brand-new strategic weapon. He described the current season as "really tricky" and emphasised how "unpredictable" such a power can be when distributed among the contestants.
Gorton's Analysis of Potential Dagger Recipients
Paul elaborated on the challenges facing the traitors, stating: "It's really, really tricky this season because it's so random, it's so chaotic. It's so unpredictable. The easy thing to do is give it to someone that you know are not going to vote for you and they're going to vote for someone else."
He then proceeded to evaluate the remaining faithfuls, considering who might be a suitable candidate for the dagger:
- Jade: Paul noted that Jade currently has "a load of heat on her", with nearly everyone left in the game targeting her. However, he cautioned that the situation could change rapidly, making it a risky choice.
- James: Gorton highlighted James as another potential recipient, pointing out that he has never accused Rachel and previously expressed closeness with Stephen, believing him not to be a traitor. Paul suggested James might be a strong option because his erratic voting behaviour might not be decisive enough to eliminate someone.
Strategic Considerations and Final Thoughts
Paul also addressed the possibility of the traitors keeping the dagger for themselves, dismissing it as impractical: "The traitors can't keep it. They'll feel like they can, but it's very difficult for 2 votes to get rid of someone. In a very minuscule way, it could show who they actually are."
Concluding his analysis, Gorton emphasised that the traitors must choose someone who "doesn't really have anything to say" and added: "You can't give it to someone strong." His insights provide a fascinating glimpse into the strategic complexities that will unfold in the upcoming episode, as players navigate the treacherous dynamics of trust and deception.
