The Traitors fans have reacted to the first round table of the season, calling one contestant an “icon” after a “high stakes” reveal. Following its epic return last night, the BBC series<\/a> aired the second episode of its fourth season<\/a> tonight, revealing who had been murdered and who had been banished. <\/p>\n

Kicking off the episode, it was revealed that Traitors Hugo, Stephen and Rachel had decided to murder Netty after being given a shortlist by a secret fourth Traitor<\/a>, whose identity is unknown to both them and the viewing audience.<\/p>\n

Later, at the round table, suspicion fell on Faithful Judy<\/a>, who is secretly Roxy’s mum. Judy was banished and Roxy reacted to the news quite badly, telling people to avoid “herd mentality”. <\/p>\n

While the banishment and murder were exciting moments indeed, fans took to social media to share their delight at another standout moment from the round table. <\/p>\n

After the group shared their suspicions of Amanda, with Ross bringing up Amanda and Hugo’s “rapport”, Adam agreed with Ross’ theory, saying that Amanda and Hugo “looked a little bit too close” at breakfast.<\/p>\n

“It’s lovely that you think we’re together or whatever, but we’re not,” Amanda responded, adding: “I’m a lesbian.”<\/p>\n

“So I’m not sure I’m your type,” Hugo replied, with Amanda quipping to the amused group: “No, you’re not my sort.”<\/p>\n

Reacting to the moment on X, one fan<\/a> said: “Amanda is such a queen, Amanda to win,” while another wrote<\/a>: “Amanda casually revealing she\u2019s a lesbian icon.”<\/p>\n

“Amanda has had to out herself to get the heat off her with Hugo this is high stakes tense,” wrote one viewer<\/a>, with another writing<\/a>: “Amanda you icon. I love her and I lowkey hope she\u2019s the secret traitor cos I think she\u2019ll play a blinder.”<\/p>\n

Another fan<\/a> said: “Amanda\u2019s defence being ‘I\u2019m a lesbian’ is the most iconic reason for claiming not to be a traitor.”<\/p>\n

Some fans theorised that Roxy could have another secret mother in the show, guessing that Amanda and Judy were her adoptive parents, with one viewer<\/a> asking: “Are we all thinking Judy and Amanda are secretly a couple and both roxys mum?”<\/p>\n

“Amanda\u2019s a lesbian. Right so Judy is her partner and they adopted Roxy is my theory,” said another<\/a>, with one fan adding<\/a>: “The theory of Judy and Amanda being together and adopting Roxy just got real interesting.”<\/p>\n

The Traitors airs on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n
