The Traitors’ Alliance Falls Apart: Jonathan Ross Eliminated
In the latest episode of The Celebrity Traitors, tensions escalated as Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns, and Alan Carr’s alliance crumbled. Ross’s attempt to save himself by blaming his fellow traitors backfired spectacularly. The other two participants, Burns and Carr, turned on him at a heated round table, voting him out in what is being hailed online as the most iconic exit speech in The Celebrity Traitors history.
Ross’s Harsh Departure
Jonathan Ross left his fellow players and fans shocked with a scathing departure. “I’ve got no idea what everyone’s doing wrong,” he began, adding, “I cannot believe you’ve done it again.” He then turned to his fellow traitors, saying, “You’re idiots,” before declaring himself the “Faithful” among them. His final words were particularly impactful: “to the traitors.” This speech was met with disbelief and celebration from other contestants.
Other Eliminations and Challenges
The episode also saw Lucy Beaumont, who finished on the losing chess team in the previous episode, being eliminated. Her exit was dramatic as she faced her fellow traitors face-to-face at a giant chessboard. Beaumont expressed shock and disappointment, saying, “I’m not happy with you at all,” to them.
Alan Carr demonstrated his strategic acumen by walking across a rickety bridge over a river during the challenge, shouting out of fear: “God my testicles. I feel like a winner and a eunuch.” His victory was celebrated by other contestants, including Kate Garraway, who noted how Carr’s performance reminded her of being at sports day with children.
