Last year’s final of The Traitors, in which sneaky Traitor Harry double-crossed besotted Faithful Molly just as the curtain fell, could hardly have been more dramatic. It was reality TV delivering the high stakes that Hollywood would kill for.
But first things first. The episode opened with the meeting between Frankie and Charlotte that had the nation tearing their hair out since Thursday night’s cliffhanger, wherein Faithful Frankie won the “seer” power, allowing her to reveal one other player’s status. When she chose Charlotte – who happened to be both the only remaining traitor and Frankie’s most trusted friend – I braced myself for fireworks.

But as the players convened in the grounds for their last challenge, it seemed that invisible but irreparable damage had been done.
Face-to-face murder and no prize-pot chat: How to fix The Traitors
Read MoreHere, the final came up against what is both The Traitors’ biggest problem and arguably its most interesting feature – that is, the game offers no rewards for playing it well. Charlotte has been an exemplary Traitor since she was recruited, ruthlessly doing over her fellow Traitors, delivering astonishingly convincing lies to the Faithfuls and always thinking several steps ahead. But despite her best evil efforts, none of this stood her in good stead – from its whiplash rule changes to the arbitrary challenges, The Traitors is not a meritocracy.

It was hard not to think how close Frankie had come to a portion of it – or how Charlotte might have pocketed the whole thing, had the seer ruse not confounded things.
