Tensions spiked in the kitchen when Fiona, newly revealed as the Secret Traitor, openly accused Rachel of being a Traitor in front of the group. The alliance is now fractured: the remaining Traitors are Rachel, Fiona, and Stephen, and the prize pot jumped by £9,000 on a flaming spears mission to £42,750.
