'Stupidly Obvious' or 'Genius'? Celebrity Traitors Viewers Are Utterly Split Over The Show's Latest Twist

The true hero of the series.This article contains major spoilers for the latest episode of The Celebrity Traitors.The nation rejoiced last night when the first “Traitor” was voted out of The Celebrity Traitors, breaking an entertainingly shocking run for the celeb cast of the show.After dodging his fate at the “Round Table” for six episodes, Jonathan Ross was finally voted out by his fellow celebrities, becoming the first “Traitor” of the series to be correctly identified. However no sooner had Jonathan left than another huge twist was revealed, and people aren’t sure what to make of it.After turning on their fellow “Traitor” Jonathan to avoid suspicion, Cat Burns and Alan Carr quickly learned of a new challenge courtesy of The Traitors’ trademark wax-sealed envelope.Cat and Alan were told they must murder their next celebrity “in plain sight” during a dinner party laid on in celebration of the celebrities catching their first “Traitor”.A tricky feat, given the shrinking number of people left in the game. Trickier still, is the way in which Cat and Alan have to commit their murder - toasting their chosen victim while saying: “Parting is such sweet sorrow” - followed by the doomed contestant’s name. The remaining “Traitors” decided that Alan would do the killing, as the phrase would sound particularly strange coming from Cat, however viewers are worried the twist is too tricky for Alan to succeed. “I appreciate the producers wanting to stir things up, but this is actively working against the Traitors, making it almost impossible to get away with,” one person posted on X. Another added: “They’ll know he’s a traitor because this phrase combined with the then murdered person’s name is too obvious.”It’s a sentiment shared by lots of other viewers, particularly given Alan’s runaway success as one of the most-loved stars of the series.I'm not a fan of this whole 'murder in plain sight' thing. I appreciate the producers wanting to stir things up, but this is actively working against the Traitors, making it almost impossible to get away with. They should just refuse to do it.#CelebrityTraitors#TheTraitorsUK— Paul_M_© (@Doub1eHelix) October 30, 2025Oh Alan, he must murder in plain sight again & they'll know he's a traitor because this phrase combined with the then murdered person's name is too obvious.Unless he manages it to speak it out only to their face or cover it up in a not-so-obvious surrounding.#CelebrityTraitors— Jasmin 💙♋ (@jame_2206) October 30, 2025If the murder in plain sight ruins the game like the Seer did I’m going to be fuming. Such a stupidly obvious thing they have to do as well, no way you’d say it under any circumstances and to do so with a named player? Very annoying. #CelebrityTraitors— Chris Watkins (@cjwatkins93) October 29, 2025if i was alan id just refuse to say that quote and let no one be murdered or recruited bcos that is the most unfair and obvious kill in plain sight ever it’s so unfair??? #CelebrityTraitors— spooky jord 🕸️ (@jnightmrr) October 29, 2025Well that’s gonna be an obvious plain sight murder then 🙃 #CelebrityTraitors— Michael 💜 (he/they) (@MichaelFM92) October 29, 2025Of course, plenty of people are also living for the drama of the second “plain sight” murder of the series, after Alan offed his close pal Paloma Faith in a move that has convinced many celebrities he couldn’t possibly be a “Traitor”.MURDER IN PLAIN SIGHT AGAIN. HOLY SHIT. THIS IS AMAZING. I'M WORRIED FOR CELIA OR NICK. 😱 #CelebrityTraitors— JS (@nicejanice19) October 30, 2025Another murder in plain sight you say #CelebrityTraitorspic.twitter.com/urD1wNSi0Q— Prest0_art (@PrestO2003) October 29, 2025Alan’s gotta murder in plain sight again and he’s already forgotten what he’s got to say! #CelebrityTraitors— Curse-ty🏳️🌈 Traitors time!💀 (@CrisisOfChaos) October 29, 2025Alan confused why he's always got to do 'the dirty work' when the plain sight murders are touching a Faithful's face and saying a weird riddle thing!You're the only one who COULD do those things Alan Darling 😭#TheCelebrityTraitors#Traitors#CelebrityTraitors— S 💙🖤 FRAUDS & TRAITORS ERA! (@LisasCrisps) October 29, 2025Last night’s episode of Celebrity Traitors also saw Lucy Beaumont leave the show after being murdered face to face by the “Traitors” in a conclusion to last week’s cliffhanger, which left us guessing about who would go home out of the comedian and fellow “Faithfuls” Kate Garraway and Nick Mohammed.As for whether Alan can pull off his second plain sight murder? We’ll have to wait until tonight…The Celebrity Traitors continues tonight at 9pm on BBC One.Related...Jonathan Ross Admits This Celebrity Traitors Comment Landed Him In Trouble With BBC BossesThese 2 Celebrity Traitors Favourites Are Reuniting For A New TV SeriesMark Bonnar's Reaction To Finding Out Who The Celebrity Traitors Are Is Truly Unmissable
