It all adds up to make the semi-final an absolutely unmissable episode and the perfect lead into the finale on Friday.”The Standard has contacted the BBC for comment.The castle will play host to plenty of twists and turns before Friday’s finalBBC/Studio Lambert/Euan CherryWhile Traitor Richard E Grant was immediately banished from the competition after publicly admitting to being a Traitor, with recruited Traitor not far behind him, the trio of original Traitor Jama and recruits Acaster and Kenny have gone remarkably undetected in the game so far.After their fellow players voted them the most trusted in the castle, Jama joked that they had already "completed the game", leading some fans to speculate that this comment could be foreshadowing the Traitors' downfall.From previous series, we know that big twists can come late in the game. In series three of The Traitors, Francesca was given the power to learn the identity of one of the other finalists, which led to her finding out that Charlotte was a Traitor.
