In a surprising twist for loyal viewers, last night's episode of The Traitors: Uncloaked deviated from its usual format by omitting a key moment that has left many fans puzzled and debating online. The companion show typically features the reactions of banished or eliminated contestants as they learn the true identities of the Traitors, but Roxy's segment was conspicuously absent following her elimination in the main series.
Fan Outrage and Social Media Speculation
Following the broadcast, social media platforms were flooded with comments from disappointed fans who felt robbed of seeing Roxy's response. One viewer expressed their frustration by stating, "Uncloaked you better get the footage of Roxy finding out Rachel and Stephen are traitors on my screen RIGHT NOW. I've already been robbed of seeing her face in the final!" Another echoed this sentiment, questioning, "Where is the footage of Roxy finding out who the Traitors are, are you kidding me?" while a third speculated that embarrassment might have played a role, given her close bonds with the Traitors.
The Clever Theory Behind the Omission
However, a growing number of fans have proposed a logical explanation for the missing footage. They suggest that Roxy's reaction was likely filmed alongside whoever gets banished after last night's cliffhanger, making it more dramatic to air together. In the latest roundtable, a tie between Rachel and James led to a suspenseful Chest of Chance decision, with the episode ending before revealing who received a shield and who faced banishment.
On Reddit, one fan theorised, "They are probably not showing Roxy's reaction because she shared it with whoever was banished tonight." This idea gained traction, with others agreeing it seemed obvious in hindsight. A reply noted, "Yep, thought that seemed obvious but everyone seems to be having a meltdown so maybe not," while another admitted, "It does make sense, I think we were all just looking forward to it so much that we didn't think of it straight away."
What This Means for Tonight's Finale
If this theory holds true, viewers can expect to see Roxy's long-awaited reaction tonight, paired with either James or Rachel's banishment. As one fan excitedly commented, "If true seeing Roxy and James or Roxy and Rachel together will be fun." However, some have questioned the production choice, with a sixth fan pointing out, "Ah yeah good point but surely the producers knew the penultimate night ending on a tie-break would mean a cliffhanger so would have just done the exit reveal as just Roxy like Harriet did. I guess they must have decided the cliffhanger in the edit."
Tonight's grand finale promises to deliver high stakes, airing at the slightly later time of 8:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Fans will be treated to a special 75-minute episode followed by an extended edition of Uncloaked, potentially resolving this mystery. Looking ahead, the show will be succeeded by Would I Lie To You and Death in Paradise in the coming weeks, marking the end of another thrilling season.
