Traitors Final Twist Opens Dramatic Final Week With Dagger Power Play
The final week of the BBC hit series The Traitors has begun with a dramatic twist that has instantly raised the stakes for the remaining contestants.
On Friday night, host Claudia Winkleman stunned players by interrupting their dinner gathering to introduce a powerful new element into the game. The surprise came in the form of a ceremonial dagger, a symbol that now represents control, danger, and survival as the competition reaches its climax.
The dagger carries a major advantage. Whoever holds it will receive a double vote at the next roundtable discussion, where contestants decide who will be banished from the game. However, the power does not belong to the group. Instead, the decision rests entirely with traitors Rachel and Stephen.
Both players now control the direction of the game. They can choose to give the dagger to another contestant, or they can keep it for themselves. As a result, the balance of power has shifted dramatically in a single moment.
Stephen admitted during a confessional that the decision filled him with anxiety. He explained that the dagger could either push him and Rachel toward the final stage or destroy their chances completely. He described the moment as the most dangerous choice he had faced in the game so far.
Rachel also weighed the consequences carefully. She said the dagger offered a rare chance for protection and strategic advantage. However, she also acknowledged that one wrong move could expose them both.
Later that night, the pair met privately to discuss their options. They quickly realised that keeping the power within their alliance gave them the strongest chance of survival. After reviewing the numbers, they agreed that one of them should hold the dagger.
Stephen explained that a double vote could shift any decision at the roundtable. With three combined votes, they could remove a rival with ease. Although the move carried risk, they believed the reward justified the gamble.
As the evening continued, tension filled the room. Other contestants sensed that something had changed, even though they did not yet know what it was. The atmosphere grew heavier with every conversation.
Before the episode ended, Rachel confirmed that they had made their choice. However, the show cut to black before revealing who received the dagger. The cliffhanger left viewers in suspense and sparked immediate discussion online.
Fans quickly began speculating about who now holds the power and how the twist will shape the final days of the competition. Many believe this moment could decide the winner.
Traitors Final Twist now stands as the most critical development of the season. Every alliance, vote, and conversation will carry new meaning as the final week unfolds.
The next episode will air on Wednesday at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, where the identity of the dagger holder will finally be revealed.
