Fans of the BBC series The Traitors were left ‘howling’ following the latest dramatic twist and asked, ‘Where’s her Oscar?’ following an unexpected reaction.
The latest episode, which aired on Friday (January 10), revealed the latest Faithful selected for murder. Following the previous instalment, traitorous duo Linda and Minah discussed their options for who to bump off the show. This followed their failed attempt at recruiting Anna to join their cause.
Speculation and accusations were flying around during a tense Round Table between the contestants. However, it was Livi who was chosen to be murdered by the Traitors and failed to arrive at breakfast the following day.

This suddenly put Freddie in the frame, as many accused him of the night before. However, as most contestants shared their shock, viewers were distracted by one of them.
Traitor Linda, who was previously close with Livi, played up to her sadness about her friend leaving the show.
Viewers watching along at home quickly reacted on social media as one said: “Stop, Linda’s terrible acting is so funny.”
Another agreed, saying, “Oh, Linda and her GCSE drama are coming out again.” A person added, “Every time Linda “acts,” I can’t deal. Where’s her Oscar?”

However, speaking to camera after breakfast, Linda confessed that she thought she had convinced them all she was a Faithful with her tears.
Even her fellow Traitor Minah admitted that she didn’t know why Linda felt the need to cry so much in front of the entire group, and shared concern that her partner in crime may have just given the game away.
A viewer who thought Linda had got the situation all wrong commented, “Howling. Why does Linda always get it so wrong?”
Another person said, “Shocking bit of acting there. She has thrown herself well and truly under the bus.” Another fan compared Linda’s antics to when former Traitor Armani managed to expose themselves. They said, “Oh god, Linda is just Armani with less attitude but the same level of delusion about how she’s doing.”
The Traitors continues Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
