However, unbeknownst to the Faithfuls, Acaster walked back into the room now a newly recruited Traitor.
asserted
Acaster → walk → room
After being seduced, Acaster said: “I can’t believe I’m a Traitor, I’m gutted to not be Faithful anymore, I don’t like lying, but if I don’t join, then they kill me.”
asserted
they → seduce → me
Some fans were shocked by Rajan’s early elimination.

However, others were pleased with the decision.

Tonight's mission saw the celebrities buried underground in individual coffins, with grave diggers working for the show tasked with burying them.
asserted
diggers → see → them
They had 15 minutes to remain inside their coffins, but any celebrity who shouted “haggis” would be released and put at risk of murder.
asserted
who → have → murder
Jerry Hall was the first to shout “haggis”, meaning her partner Hannah Fry also had to end the mission.
asserted
partner → shout → mission
The pair were therefore left vulnerable to murder, while the remaining celebrities continued with the challenge.
asserted
celebrities → leave → challenge
Ross and Romesh were the first to dig the celebrities out and were then faced with a difficult decision over whether to free everyone or leave some behind while they collected more treasure.
asserted
they → dig → treasure
The celebrities ultimately chose to prioritise their fellow contestants, managing to get everyone out of their coffins before working together to collect the remaining treasure.
asserted
everyone → choose → treasure
They secured £5,000 for the prize fund, but despite successfully completing the challenge, Jerry and Hannah were left as the only two celebrities vulnerable to murder.
asserted
Jerry → secure → murder
That means the pair will be firmly in the firing line when the Traitors return next week, with the rest of the cast protected from murder.
asserted
rest → mean → murder
Fans were quick to express their concerns for the pair.
asserted
Fans → express → pair
“Hannah Fry being down for murder, being accused of being recruited, AND completely sniffing out the Traitors' reasonings in the space of about five minutes.
asserted
Fry → accuse → minutes
she might not be here for long but she's absolutely made her mark!”
uncertain
she → make → mark
Another said: “So sad that Jerry Hall or Hannah Fry will be murdered just because Jerry couldn’t handle being locked in a dark enclosed space like that cos I absolutely could not handle that either.”
No banishment... yet
uncertain
I → say → that
Back at the castle, the celebrities gathered for the Round Table as they tried to work out who they believed could be a Traitor.
uncertain
they → gather → Table
Richard E Grant found himself under increasing pressure over his behaviour, while Julie Hesmondhalgh, Hannah Fry and Leigh-Anne Pinnock were also brought into the discussion as the Faithfuls questioned who could be hiding a secret.
uncertain
who → find → secret
The tension continued to build as the group debated who they could trust, before Richard was eventually told: “You’ve forced our hands.”
But just as the Round Table reached its most dramatic point, the episode ended on a huge cliffhanger, leaving viewers waiting to discover who had been banished from the castle.
uncertain
who → continue → castle
“I pray Richard gets away with it and survives this roundtable.
asserted
Richard → pray → roundtable
He is far too entertaining to be kicked out so soon!.” wrote one fan.

“How can they end on that cliffhanger?!!!!!,” another moaned as they realised we would have to week to find out who has left.
