The Traitors: Uncloaked took viewers by surprise last night after cutting a clip of Roxy finding out the Traitors‘ identities – but some have worked out the reason behind it. Yesterday’s episode of the hit BBC show saw remaining Traitors, Rachel and Stephen, kill off Roxy, leaving just six contestants still in the game.
While the show’s companion podcast, The Traitors: Uncloaked, usually airs the banished and eliminated contestants’ reactions to finding out who the Traitors are, Roxy’s was cut from last night’s episode. Fans took to social media to rage about the decision, with one writing: “Uncloaked you better get the footage of Roxy finding out Rachel and Stephen are traitors on my screen RIGHT NOW. I’ve already been robbed of seeing her face in the final!”
Another said: “Where is the footage of Roxy finding out who the Traitors are, are you kidding me?” While a third wrote: “Why didn’t they show Roxy’s reaction to who the traitors were?? Was she utterly embarrassed finding out it was her besties? Cos she should be!”

However, some fans have suggested that Roxy’s reaction may not have been shown last night as it was likely that she filmed it with whoever gets banished after last night’s cliffhanger. In the last roundtable, both Rachel and James received the same number of votes, leaving their fate to the Chest of Chance.
Before viewers found out whose box contained a shield, which would save them, and whose didn’t, the episode ended – leaving fans on a cliffhanger. Writing on Reddit, one fan theorised: “They are probably not showing Roxy’s reaction because she shared it with whoever was banished tonight.”
Another replied: “Yep, thought that seemed obvious but everyone seems to be having a meltdown so maybe not.” A third said: “It does make sense, I think we were all just looking forward to it so much that we didn’t think of it straight away.”
A fourth commented: “I’m daft and didn’t realize that but that makes sense. I was so excited to see her reaction which either way will be amazing!!”
If the theory is correct, that means we’ll get Roxy’s reaction tonight alongside either James or Rachel. “If true seeing Roxy and James or Roxy and Rachel together will be fun,” another fan said.

“Ah yeah good point but surely the producers knew the penultimate night ending on a tie-break would mean a cliffhanger so would have just done the exit reveal as just Roxy like Harriet did,” a sixth said. “I guess they must have decided the cliffhanger in the edit.”
Tonight’s big final starts at the slightly later time of 8:30pm tonight, with viewers getting a special 75-minute episode followed by an extra-long Uncloaked. From next week, the slow will be taken over by Would I Lie To You, followed by Death in Paradise.
The Traitors continues tonight at 8:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
