New competition series The Traitors launched in savage fashion last night (Tuesday) when it axed two contestants before the games had even begun. The BBC show’s debut episode on Tuesday opened with host Claudia Winkleman greeting the 22 strangers as they arrived at a Scottish Highlands castle to play "the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust" in the hope of winning up to £120,000.
Before the contestants could enter the residence, Winkleman instructed them to line up in order from who they thought was least likely to win the competition to most likely. Amos, a 30-year-old doctor from North London, and Kieran, a 42-year-old solutions consultant from Hertfordshire, decided to place themselves as least likely.
However, they soon discovered their error as Winkleman said: "Every decision you make has a consequence. Every single one. So, you two, you think you’re going to lose. I’m going to take you at your word.
