The dramatic finale of BBC's The Traitors saw Leanne and Jake emerge as victors, but fans have accused the remaining contestants of prioritizing money over integrity.

Fans of the BBC show The Traitors have accused contestants of a ' cash grab ' following the dramatic finale of the third series. Out of an original line-up of 25, five participants, including Francesca ( Frankie ), Alexander , Jake , Leanne , and Charlotte , battled their way to the very end. Victory was ultimately claimed by Leanne and Jake as they celebrated being the triumphant Faithfuls as the final two players.

Charlotte stood as the sole remaining Traitor ahead of the final episode being broadcast, having been secretly recruited earlier. But in a stunning twist, Frankie received unprecedented power, assuming the role of The Seer, compelling Charlotte to confess her true allegiance. Despite this exposure, Charlotte was convinced she had outplayed the system, tearfully maintaining her innocence right up until the final day in the castle. The dramatic climax reached its peak at the last Round Table, where Charlotte's strategy backfired, resulting in her receiving the majority vote and being ousted just shy of victory. Fans swarmed social media to share their thoughts, with one exclaiming: 'This final is absolute carnage.' As the final four contestants reached the endgame, they were given the choice to either conclude the game or vote for another banishment. All four decided to vote for another banishment, which resulted in Alexander being ousted from the game, despite only Faithfuls remaining, reports Wales Online. Even though it would have been in a Traitor's best interest to end the game, the players continued to vote for a banishment, believing that one Traitor was still among them. In the second round of voting, Frankie was eliminated. This left Leanne and Jake as the winners, sharing the prize fund of £94,600. One viewer expressed their thoughts on the Faithfuls' voting strategy: 'Is this real belief in another Traitor or a cash grab? ' A supporter of Alexander remarked: 'Saying 'not at all' after people stopping you from winning tens of £1000s is peak British.' Many viewers were dissatisfied with the outcome, with one saying: 'Bring back Minah and give her the money' and another commenting: 'When the lasting Faithfuls choose to be more Traitor-like than the actual Traitors have done this entire series.' The Traitors is streaming on BBC iPlaye
