BBC The Traitors fans 'gutted' that 'best player' was eliminated

The Traitors third season is well on its way, and with eight faithfuls already banished from the game as well as on traitor, the prize pot is getting closer for the remaining contestants. Fans weren't happy with the latest roundtable decision as Dan was sent home.

Friday night's (January 10) episode wasn't short of fireworks as the contestants are starting to distrust each other, even their closest of friends in the game. The contestants have the opportunity to win up to £120,000 in the final prize pot, with money added each time they successfully complete a mission.

The latest mission saw some contestants decide to look out for themselves and lie to the rest of the group. One faithful, Dan admitted he had lied at the roundtable, but the rest of the group deemed him to be too "selfish" and voted for him to be next out.

As he stood in front of the table, Dan said: "Just remember we've only known each other for a couple of weeks, don't take things too personally, it's just a game. This has been an absolute pleasure, and I've had a fantastic time. I am a faithful."

While the remaining contestants looked shocked, fans of the show also weren't happy with the decision. On X (formerly known as Twitter) @jadecvine complained: "Outrageous that Dan has gone, he was one of my favourites" and @EveSukiEE added: "I'm really gutted for Dan."

Some viewers weren't happy with the groups reasoning for the banishment, @Hoolie206 wrote: "Why are they all on at Dan for playing a 'selfish' game? He doesn’t owe you anything, he can play how he wants." @JamesFromLeeds agreed: "Dan understood the game better than anyone else and paid the price for it. It’s not a team game."

@avngrswft admitted how smart traitor Minah had been at the roundtable:
