The Traitors Season 3 star Kasim Ahmad aka "Kas" faced banishment in the latest episode of the show. His elimination from the show made a hole in the fans' hearts. He got voted out by 7 people at the roundtable and his spec became legendary when he almost got all the players to actually believe that he was a "traitor".
The 33-year-old doctor had some weird accusations about him; Jake pointed out that his profession could be an indication of him being a traitor. After his banishment, Claudia Winkleman asked Kas to reveal his identity and wittingly called out Joe for "caughting him based on his twinkling eyes". As he revealed that he was a "faithful", the jaw-dropping moment was caught vividly on cameras.
The Traitors fans rallied behind Kas and criticized other players for performing such a poor judgment of him. They appreciated Kas' gameplay, remaking that Kas was beyond this game. One fan took to X and commented:
"Kas, you deserved so much more. your exit will be the best in traitors' history, i fear. wear it with pride my friend #TheTraitorsUK #thetraitors #Traitors"
Other fans took a dig at fellow players, criticizing them for "isolating" and targeting Kas constantly. One fan wrote:
"Traitors clearly have some racist individuals this year. Imagine voting for the same person 4 times in a row, because you feel threatened by their (Kas) demeanor and the fact he’s a doctor. Respect to Fozia for calling out the targeting by the group. #TraitorsUK #Traitors"
"Poor Kas. They isolated him, all because he’s a traitor for being nice. It’s like ‘I saw Kas breathe in the wrong direction. He’s definitely a traitor!" commentd another fan.
"Thinking about how this was the only way it could end for kas because even if he didn't get kicked out he would still be entirely on his own, and the experience would be ruined for him because he can't talk to anyone because no one trusts him #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK #thetraitors" commented another fan.
"Kas not being able to go in to different rooms or talk to people in the castle was pretty horrible and I hope Joe’s name is brought up at the table and he’s banished next#TraitorsUK #Traitors" wrote another fan.
"Kas must be a traitor because he’s a doctor’ is probably one of the most ridiculous reasonings we’ve had yet. These people are so unserious, I’m genuinely obsessed #TheTraitors" wrote another The Traitors fan.
"Just by being myself"- The Traitors Season 3 star Kasim Ahmad had a simple strategy to play a "faithful"
Kasim Ahmad came all guns blazing in The Traitors Season 3. He has a simple strategy in mind and that was to play the "nice guy". However, it might appear now, that his strategy fell flat, and got him banished in episode 4. The players voted Kasim out in episode 4 by 7 votes, thinking he was a "traitor".
For a moment, Kasim played well also, however, when he announced he was a "faithful", the shock show on the players' faces was evident.
Before joining the show, Kasim opened up about his strategy of how to play a"faithful" in his introductory interview with BBC. He mentioned that he was playing to be himself and according to him, that would be sufficient. He said:
"I hope that just by being myself enough to make people think I’m a nice enough guy. But with a bit of a dumbing down as well which I think is necessary. Which again, is why I think Jaz's gameplay was perfect, because he was clearly smarter than he was letting on."
However, The Traitors fans were upset that Kas was too mice for the players around and his nice guy image made him isolated.
The Traitors Season 3 Episode 4 aired on January 8, 2025, on BBC.
