"Dumbest group of contestants" — The Traitors UK fans call out cast for elimination-driving moves

Episode 4 of The Traitors UK aired on Peacock on January 08, 2025, and ended with sending home one of the fans' favorite contestants, Kasim Ahmed. A reality TV series where contestants are split into two secret groups, the Traitors and the Faithfuls.

As they enter the show, the Faithfuls have to identify the other group and banish them from the show while performing daily tasks. The Traitors, however, have to secretly "murder" one person from the other group, keeping their identity a secret.

In this week's episode, the Faithfuls mistakenly banished one of their own, Kasim, weakening their position, while the Traitors strategically "murdered" Maia, further reducing the Faithfuls' numbers.

The Traitors UK fans call out cast for elimination-driving moves

As Kasim gets eliminated from The Traitors UK in episode 4, fans are left disappointed. Many took to social media to share how they felt about the cast member's gameplay.

"These have to be the dumbest group of contestants ever. I don't just mean the faithful the traitors are making such obvious moves," a Reddit user wrote.

"They never say to themselves: “We keep voting off faithfuls after suspected them for irrelevant and tiny misconstrued things… how about we look at and think about all the people that we’ve had zero suspicions about… we’re usually wrong when we play like this… so it’s much more likely the traitors are amongst the group of people we haven’t yet suspected”," another fan posted this comment.

An admirer of The Traitor UK wrote, "Seems to be more bullying and general nastiness in this season. I felt so sorry for Kaz as they ganged up on him and ostracised him pretty much from day 1. Now they are starting on Freddie. I feel sorry for him. It was hard watching him break down like that. Although I think in Freddie's case, some of them are subconsciously picking on the younger one as he is an easier target."

"I was cackling. The looks on their faces when they thought for a second they'd caught another traitor and then he said he'd been a faithful all along and just walked straight out 😂 They fully deserved that after isolating him like they did," a Reddit post read.

More fans of The Traitors UK shared similar thoughts.

A fan posted, "I feel so damn sad for Kas the poor guy getting totally ostracised. He definitely deserved to do that trick as he was banished, it was iconic and much earned. So proud of my girl Leanne for getting the shield."

"I’ve caught up with the latest episode and like everyone else, I feel so sorry for Kaz - the treatment of him was appalling and so many of these “faithfuls” have forgotten that it is a game at the end of the day."
