The Traitors fans spot tell-tale sign BBC intervened with health and safety tweak

The Traitors viewers questioned whether BBC bosses sent health and safety in during a ceremony held in the woods on Friday night’s dramatic episode

Fans of The Traitors noticed a subtle change during a scene of the popular BBC reality series on Friday night.

A ceremony was held in the woods and contestants had to put a bucket full of sludge behind the person who they believed was undeserving of a shield. The first two people had the sludge poured over their heads which eventually dripped into their eyes. “Oh my gosh, this is so gross,” Anna said as she spat out the sludge and wiped it from her eyes.

The first few people had the misfortune of cleaning the sludge from their faces but by the time it was Minah and Alexander’s turn, sludge was only poured on the back of their heads and their backs. Fans pointed out the sudden switch and took to social media to question whether the Healthy and Safety team stepped in to make the changes.

“BBC Health and Safety team telling the guards to pour the goop down people’s backs, after blinding the first 2 people by accident,” one user pointed out on X/ Twitter and another commented: “Felt so sorry for Anna getting covered in the gunk, after seeing the reaction everyone else had it poured down their neck not over their head.”

Another said: “Could be a medical reason, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Joe kicked off at production and made a fuss so they only poured the gunk on his shoulders only… even the girls and those with long hair let it go on them,” while one added: “Why didn’t Joe get the gunk poured over his head?”

Meanwhile, Friday night’s episode ended with four contestants being chosen by the Traitors – who are Linda and Minah – to take part in a “deadly” game. They secretly chose Leon, Alexander, Fozia and Anna, who then met host Claudia Winkleman at a location, where the four of them sat around a table.

It was revealed that they would be playing a game, Deathmatch, and Claudia told them: “At the end of the game, one of you will be dead.” She had already suggested that the Traitors could have chosen any four players – including themselves – to play. She had told them: “Earlier, the Traitors chose you four to play a little game. Just to be clear, the Traitors could have chosen any players, whether they be Faithful or Traitors.”

The game involved each player having two cards, with the majority of cards marked ‘death’. One card in each round would however be a ‘life’ card. Each round, the players would swap card with each other and whoever had the ‘life’ card at the end of the round would be safe and exit the game. Claudia said: “The person left seated at this table will face murder.”
