The latest episode of The Traitors UK aired on Jan 10, 2025, and it left the fans reeling with an unexpected elimination. Dan, one of the most vocal contestants of the show, was sent home after a roundtable discussion among the cast members.
In episode 6 of The Traitors UK, suspicions went high on Dan, as a result of his outspoken nature, making him a prime target. Despite his attempt to plead his case and throw light on other suspects, he failed to convince the lot in his favor. At the end of the roundtable discussions and arguments, the majority of the cast ended up voting for Dan as one of the traitors, ultimately sending him home. However, after learning the results, Dan revealed that he was one of the Faithful.
With yet another Faithful going home, the number of Faithfuls in the house has significantly lowered. This will make it difficult for them to actually identify and play against the unidentified traitors in the remaining lot.
The Traitors UK fans react to Dan's exit
The viewers of The Traitors UK have shown their disappointment all over the internet. A few believe that many cast members only voted for Dan to "follow the herd," as all the available evidence was clearly in Dan's favor.
"- how is linda STILL scraping by - so annoyed that they got rid of dan but obsessed with claudia telling them off cos he was actually a good player - also im sorry but leon absolutely screwed that over for fozia with the cards #TheTraitorsUK," a fan wrote on his X account.
A person commented, "MY MAN IS DOWN 😭😭😭😭 #TheTraitorsUK Dan Byrd you have always been an icon"
"NOOO DAN! I loved his way of playing and thinking and Claudia said it herself he was a very strong Faithul If Only He Had a little bit longer, He would of maybe been able to catch Minah #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK #TraitorsUK," another post on X read.
A few fans of The Traitors UK accused Minah, one of the Traitors, of Dan's elimination.
A fan posted, "Minah is snowing everyone here. Her argument against Dan & her feeling of betrayal from Dan seemingly convinced everyone to dunk on another faithful, once again. She's also doing such a good job of deflecting votes away from Linda. #TheTraitorsUK S3 E6 #TheTraitors"
"Minah's distraction tactics by implicating first " the clique" then Dan have done a lot of the work to keep Linda in. #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK," read another post on X.
Another user wrote, "Minah’s acting is like Leonardo Di Caprio level, Linda’s is like Dean Gaffney in Eastenders #TheTraitorsUK"
"I find Minah's accent so fake. 🤭🤣She's so annoying. Poor Dan. I was rooting for you to be recruited. 🤣 #TheTraitorsUK"
