Speculation has been rife among viewers trying to pinpoint the enigmatic figure known as the Secret Traitor on the latest season of The Traitors, which premiered on January 1. Anticipation peaked as the announcement was made that the Secret Traitor’s identity would be revealed in the upcoming episode on January 8. However, a theory has emerged suggesting the potential identity of the Secret Traitor before the big reveal.
In the previous episode that aired on January 3, the mysterious individual cloaked in red made a dramatic appearance at the turret, catching the attention of the regular Traitors, Rachel Duffy and Stephen Libby. The question on everyone’s mind now is: who could this elusive figure be?

Fiona was quick to bring up Ben’s statement the morning after his demise. She conveniently claimed to have forgotten the exact words and prompted another contestant, Jessie, to recount the details to the group.
This tactic cleverly shifted the focus away from Fiona, making it appear as though she was merely facilitating the discussion without direct involvement.
Furthermore, Fiona raised suspicions about Hugo and Rachel, both Traitors, noting a change in their behavior from the train to the Castle setting.
Her actions implied prior knowledge of their true allegiance, using it as a pretext to implicate them.
However, Fiona skillfully redirected the blame towards Amanda, insinuating that Amanda prompted her to scrutinize the participants’
