UPDATE: The first murder victim has been confirmed on the latest episode of The Traitors, airing on July 14, 2023. Contestant Netty, a 42-year-old primary school nursery teacher, expressed her heartbreak after being eliminated from the competition, declaring she felt “gutted” upon receiving the murder letter.
In a dramatic reveal, Netty shared her emotional response, stating, “Oh no! I’m so gutted, I think I’d have been a very good Faithful.” Her tears were a mixture of sadness and relief as she reflected on her short-lived journey in the castle.
The moment of her departure shocked both viewers and contestants, as Netty admitted she struggled to stick to her original strategy of observing instead of participating actively. “I was like ‘what do you think?’ to everyone,” she lamented, acknowledging that her vocal nature may have contributed to her downfall.
Netty characterized her experience as “bittersweet,” stating, “I didn’t have the time that I had hoped to have, but I think I’ve had the time I was meant to have.” The emotional journey was compounded by her unexpected reunion with fellow contestant Ross, an old acquaintance, which she initially found thrilling but later recognized as a potential liability.
Reflecting on the dynamics within the group, she remarked, “For me it was an added bonus. I know he thought ‘oh no, this is not going to be good for the game.'” Ross has since indicated that their familiar connection may have made him a target among other contestants, leading to increased suspicion regarding their alliance.
With aspirations to secure the prize fund for traveling with her young daughter, Netty relished her time on the show despite its abrupt end. She admitted that she initially desired to play the role of a Traitor but found comfort in aligning with the “Faithful” side. “I got to relax being a Faithful… I was happy to be a Faithful,” she explained.
One standout moment for Netty was participating in a mission involving rowing among 100 coffins—a challenging task that brought laughter and camaraderie among the group. “That mission was really good fun, and it brought us all together,” she noted.
Despite her early exit, Netty leaves the show without regrets, emphasizing the unique experiences and friendships formed during her brief time. “It’s been one of the most enjoyable experiences,” she concluded, hopeful for the bonds that may continue beyond the show.
As the competition heats up, viewers are eagerly anticipating who will be the next to face the treacherous twists of The Traitors. Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping reality series that has captured the attention of audiences everywhere.
