The Celebrity Traitors is over and the boys are back one last time to debrief episodes 9 and 10! Did the faithfuls earn some applause? Was there a better murder on the table?

Rayan, Wilf, and Ivan also get honest about what it’s really like to play as a traitor under pressure, crown the winner of this year’s predictions game, give their verdict on the series and hand out the “Jaggies”, our almost-annual award ceremony, on the show where we watch reality TV so you don’t have to!

Rayan, Wilf, and Ivan also redesign a disappointing twist, mourn the loss of a US Traitors legend and check in on their predictions, on the show where we watch reality TV so you don’t have to!
