EAGLE-EYED fans of The Traitors reckon Linda’s devious ways will be exposed by her co-stars – for one key reason.
They have called out a suspected slip-up by the retired opera singer, which they suggest could see her Traitor identity exposed.

The opening show of The Traitors‘ third season earlier this month saw a fresh set of competitors return to a castle in Scotland.
When hunkered down in the stunning rural retreat singer Linda, 70 and call centre manager Minah, 29, were handpicked to be Traitors – as well as Armani, 27 – who has since been evicted.
While Linda was initially suspected in the earlier rounds – for looking at show host Claudia Winkleman when she said the word “Traitor” – she has gone under the radar of late.
Yet Friday’s twist, which saw the devious Traitor duo scrawl the names of four potential co-stars to kill on a painting in the kitchen, could be her undoing according to loyal viewers.
They reckon Linda’s handwriting, which is seen on a daily basis as she jots down the name of a co-star to eliminate at the round table will be her downfall as it will be matched to the artwork.
She also has a certain way of writing the letter ‘z’, which fans think could spell trouble.
After the episode aired one promptly wrote: “Schoolboy error.”
Another mused: “Imagine if Fozia accidentally spots the writing on the picture and realises…” as a third put: “Who could have possibly written Fozia’s name on the painting,” alongside an image of Linda.
One then posted: “Good detective work.”
Another put: “They never seem to recognise handwriting. If that picture stays up and the faithful recognise it, it’s game over for Linda at the roundtable.
“I can’t remember the exact rules for name writing but for drama reasons I wish Linda had written Minahs name.”
Yet another suggested a twist and put: “I thought that but they could take the picture away before the morning!”
HUGE TWIST
After nominating four contestants for the killing, the fate of two remains hanging in the balance.
Alexander, Anna, Fozia and Leon were selected by Linda and Minah as potential murder victims.
How does The Traitors work and who hosts it?
The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.
Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.
How does it work?
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.
The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.
While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).
Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
The four players were then taken to a cemetary where Claudia was waiting for them and had details of the game that would seal their fate.
Sat around a table, the players took part in a card game entitled Deathmatch.
Each player had two cards but only one out of the entire eight cards was good and was called the “life card.”
In the task, each player was forced to swap a card with a fellow player once leaving the whereabouts of the “life card” to chance.
At the end of the first round, Anna was revealed to be safe and thus left the cemetary.
She was soon followed by Alexander leaving just Fozia and Leon.
Claudia confirmed that only one of them would survive and the other would be murdered and out of the game – yet viewers will not know the outcome until Wednesday’s episode on January 15.
