No ifs, no buts: Here’s exactly who the Traitors need to recruit now one’s been banished

The Traitors on this 2025 season we find ourselves watching are in an absolute predicament: One Traitor has already been banished, the earliest one has ever been ousted in the UK version of the show. Obviously, Armani fumbling the bag so hard does not bode well for the Traitors with so many Faithfuls left in the game – and with Minah being a good Traitor but Linda having the acting skills of Curtis and AJ Pritchard in Hollyoaks the time is definitely nigh for them to recruit a new one, and it needs to be someone good. Last time we saw them, the Traitors were not allowed to recruit yet – but I’d bet my dosh on the fact that in tonight’s episode they will. Here’s exactly who the Traitors of 2025 need to recruit in order to make their side stronger as they are well and truly in hot water in the Highlands right now.

As a Faithful, Anna is flying under the radar right now and is barely getting any screen time at all. To be honest, this will serve her well as a Faithful because those who aren’t the biggest personality usually sail through to the finals. If she was a Traitor, she’d have space to come into her own and I don’t think many players would expect it from her.

Whilst Dan is clearly intelligent and has been involved in a bit of a spat so far on the show, I think he’s destined to become a Traitor at some point. He’s got the ruthless edge they need. The Traitors need a proper schemer.

Leanne is already proving herself to be an accomplished liar in the game, with none of the other players being suspicious about what her real profession is. I can just imagine her in her element in Traitors tower.

Look, I’m not sure if she’d even be any good – we just NEED to see a secret priest be a Traitor. Make it happen.

Alex

Alex seems really full throttle Faithful so far, and I’d be shocked if any of that lot in the castle suspect him of being a Traitor. He seems mega intelligent, and I think he could do a lot of damage if The Traitors recruit him and I think it could be a choice that no one would expect that would really benefit them in the long run.

The Traitors continues on BBC One tonight.
