The Traitors series 3 took another dramatic turn on Wednesday night after Minah banished a fellow traitor – and was then forced to recruit again.
But viewers of the hit series were left reeling after the last remaining , Minah, made comments some fans of the programme deemed “sexist” to host .
Episode 7 of the series, which sees a group of ‘Faithfuls’ tasked with identifying the anonymous in their group before they are murdered (or mistakenly banished by fellow players), ended in drama as Minah helped vote out her fellow Traitor Linda at the round table.
:
Moments later, came to visit Minah, the final remaining Traitor, up in the turret to inform her that “as per the rules of the game”, she must now recruit a new Traitor face to face.
Asked who she would choose, Minah told : “I only wanna pick a female. And I just feel like sisterhood means something. There was no like, backstabbing.”
Ultimately, Minah decided to recruit Charlotte, the English woman who has been faking a South Wales accent throughout the game.
But some fans thought Minah’s reasoning was sexist, and said she should have gone for Jake, who had been right about Linda all along and was a strong Faithful.
@leafyfififoo said: “Given Jake was very vocal from day 1 about Linda being a traitor, he would’ve been my choice to recruit – no traitor would’ve thrown another under the bus so many times, it’s the perfect cover. Poke your sisterhood nonsense up yer bum & play the game”.
@thfc_s1mg3 said: “What a weirdly sexist comment from Minah about having to recruit a woman because they wouldn’t stab her in the back #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK”
@mayce_windu said: “It’s a bit sexist, Minah only wanting to pick a woman as a traitor.”
@janthonydean said: “Poor decision by Minah.. Charlotte has been at risk time and time again, there won’t be any sisterhood there and will stab you in the back. Oh dear Minah.. #TheTraitors”
@jpkastein said: “This game is absolutely sexist! The blood sisterhood – give it a rest.”

@ryanthesoapking said: “The way Jake was robbed of being a Traitor just because Minah is all about sisterhood. The fact that Jake sussed out Linda from Day 1 would’ve made him a great Traitor. He’s a clever player with no heat on him. #TheTraitors”
@simplystevebest said: “It has to be a female. Why?
“The sisterhood is strong”. So strong you helped get rid of both of the others.”
@l0ttiehall said: “Did Minah just say. ‘I want to pick a woman because the sisterhood means something, there was no back stabbing’ ?? Did she not vote off both Armani and Linda #TheTraitors”.
