For those who still haven’t watched it, the ‘social deception’ show sees 25 people compete in various problem-solving missions while players – known as the ‘Traitors’ – will meet in secret and decide to eliminate the others, referred to as the ‘Faithfuls’.
The winner of the show is awarded up to £120,000.
Now, during the roundtable on this week’s episode, one contestant received the most votes and was banished after seven players wrote her name, including Minah.
“If I’m really honest with you, I’m scared that if I overly defend you, because we haven’t spent that much time together.”
And then Linda replied: “If it comes to it and it’s going to go that way, just vote for me.
“I won’t hold it against you, and you go to the end, baby.”
Following the exchange, it seems some viewers saw Linda’s exit coming because of the way the BBC show was edited.
“The edit is screaming a Linda banishment tonight,” one viewer tweeted.
While a second penned: “Oh my god THAT EDIT.”
When she left the game, Linda said: “I’ve had the most amazing time, this has been the pinnacle of my life and to experience this at my age and get this far, I’ve had a whale of a time, so thanks for it.
“I am a Traitor.”

It wasn’t just the ‘BBC edit’ that gave it away for some viewers, given Fozia’s brutal admission following her dismissal.
“You’re not going to last, get a good night’s sleep tonight because you’re going next,” she said.
Linda then added: “Get over it.”
After leaving, Linda said that she knew her time was up, admitting that she ‘didn’t really have a strategy’.
“When Claudia was going around the table I started to panic, thinking no I don’t want to be one, don’t choose me. Once I got over it, I absolutely loved it,” she said.
“I didn’t really have a strategy, I think it was just to not let people know I was a Traitor.”

“I played the jokey person more, and that did work, and I am a bit of an air head so that came over as well, and in fact when I left, that was one of the things that they mentioned.
“They said you’re so random in what you do and that’s why we think you’re a Traitor. If you ask anyone in my family, they’d say that’s me, that’s who I am, I’m very random. So, it was really funny they picked up on that.
“I’m really proud that I wasn’t the first Traitor who left. I’m proud that I made it that far because I seriously thought I’d go out pretty quickly. I was told I got as far as Paul [Gorton] did in the last series and I never thought I’d get that far.”
