Disgruntled viewers voiced their discontent across X, previously known as One individual lamented: “We lost the best British Traitor ever because she trusted a woman with a fake Welsh accent.”
Another viewer expressed frustration, saying: “Minah is gone. No point in watching anymore. She carried the whole show.”
A third fan commented on her prowess: “Regardless of the result, Minah is by far the best Traitor this show has seen. NO suspicion whatsoever until this week. NEVER threw any of her fellow Traitors under the bus, and protected Linda until she no longer could. She deserved that money.” (sic)

On Ed Gamble’s Uncloaked podcast, the ousted Minah reflected on her game move involving Charlotte, reports .
She mused: “Now, looking back, I should’ve picked Lisa. Because Linda was out […] but I thought she would rather get murdered than accept and I didn’t want to put anyone out of the game in that way. And then I thought I could have picked Frankie but again, similar reasons, I just didn’t think Frankie was built to be a Traitor. I think if I’d have known Leanne was in the army, I would have picked her but she always seemed very worried to me.”
Minah continued with her appraisal of the situation, saying: “I had accused Charlotte on the second roundtable and she had proved her faithfulness,” and also admitted, “So in my head I was like she is the only female who had proven to everybody that she is 100% faithful.”

In hindsight, she realized her misstep, adding: “Therefore, surely she’ll think of [being recruited] as ‘I wanna win with her’ but obviously because I had accused her, looking back at it now she was [probably thinking], ‘I do not trust you.'”
Looking ahead, Charlotte strategised by recruiting Freddie as a fellow Traitor for the climactic final set to air this Friday, January 24.
The Traitors returns tomorrow at 9pm.
