The Traitors Season 3

You want to be tuned in from the very start of the episode because in the first 15 minutes we find out if the traitors 'murdered' anyone the night before and, if so, who. However, sometimes the traitors are offered the chance to recruit a faithful as a traitor so that might be what is a revealed instead.

The middle of the episode usually shows the contestants taking part in the daily challenge trying to win money for the winning cash pot and collecting shields to protect them from being 'murdered' by the traitors.
