In the turret, Stephen began briefing Rachel to get ahead of a potential betrayal, before the Round Table delivered a rare (but becoming less so) double deadlock between Faithful James and Traitor Rachel, pushing the banishment to a game of chance.
The outcome will be revealed in tonight’s grand final, Friday 23 January, at 8.30 pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
If Series 4 has proved anything, it is that The Traitors is still the rare show that can cut through the algorithm and force real appointment viewing.

Watch 'The Traitors' series 4 from abroad
If you are a Brit abroad and want to watch "The Traitors", a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is the simplest solution.
The software lets your devices appear to be back in your home country. Ideal if you’re away on vacation or on business. Our favourite is NordVPN. It’s the best on the market (per our NordVPN review).
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we mentioned earlier, NordVPN is our top choice.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select a U.K. server from the list.
3. Sit back and watch. Head to BBC iPlayer to watch "The Traitors" online.
