The Traitors fans are starting to tear their hair out over the performance of the Faithful in the Scottish castle, with the exception of one delightful player.
After Jessie returned to her theory that Stephen is a Traitor like a detective with a powerful hunch, viewers at home applauded, because she’s obviously bang on the money.
But the hairdresser’s fate now hangs in the balance, after she was elected in the turret as one of the three contestants now in contention to be murdered during tonight’s episode.
Thursday’s episode left Jessie, Matthew and Faraaz vulnerable to the next murder after they failed to win protection in the mission – it was rather uselessly taken by Sam, who was then promptly banished.
If Jessie is the one chosen to go, BBC viewers might be particularly hacked off, since she’s currently the only Faithful they want to win.
Taking to X as the episode aired, Biddy said the Traitors are going to ‘walk’ to the finale win if they cull Jessie now, while Derek described the multicolour-loving cast member as ‘the best in the castle’.
‘Literally the only person who deserves to win,’ Toby tweeted with Jessie’s official Traitors promo pic.

Traitors Rachel and Stephen were seen making their murderous decision at the end of the episode. Rachel said: ‘Benefits of murdering Jessie are she’s too close to home. She has it completely spot on.’
Rachel said to her fellow Traitor: ‘The disadvantage of murdering her is the connection to you.
‘Is it the obvious thing to murder her? Because nobody would think you’d be that stupid to do that.’
Stephen replied: ‘If Jessie was compelling enough at the roundtable tomorrow, could she get people to vote for me?’
Jessie pushed Stephen’s name at the roundtable, but has so far been unable to get others to vote alongside her. That danger for the Traitors could ramp up as the numbers are whittled down.
The pair also discussed Matthew as an option, having shunted his ploy to be recruited into the long grass, as well as Faraaz, who Rachel inexplicably accused of being a Traitor in the most recent episode.
The Traitors’ murder will be revealed on BBC One and iPlayer on Friday at 8pm.
