Spoilers ahead!

After 12 rollercoaster episodes, series 4 of The Traitors (UK) is done and dusted, with beautifully scheming Traitors Stephen Libby and Rachel Duffy walking away sharing the £95,750 prize. Nice work, if you can get it.

The fact that they did it despite Rachel’s glaring eleventh hour Freudian slip is either a testament to their devious pact, or one more sign amongst many that the Faithfuls were an endearingly or irritatingly clueless bunch of saps – depending on who you ask.

The three other finalists Jade, Faraaz, and Jack must have scrumpt a few screams of their own, watching the series back, months after filming, spotting all the missed opportunities to suss out what was going on under their noses.

Faraaz’s reaction to confirmation that Rachel was a Traitor might be one of the most good-humoured things ever to happen on any version of the show.

The nation embraced the fact that Stephen could have thrown Rachel under the loser bus, but kept his word and just half of the prize pot – missing his opportunity to buy £47,875-worth of designer jumpsuits and hand-knitted sweaters.

With NDAs firmly in place for the contestants, even friends and family only found out the result alongside the rest of the viewers, leading to this wild scene back in Rachel’s home town of Newry.

The internet exploded in a similar fashion, with jokes, memes and virtual yelps of joy.
