Traitors star Romesh Ranganathan is obvious choice to kill during hide-and-seek task as key moment spotted

Celebrity Traitors is just over halfway through its second season and the next episode could see one of Romesh Ranganathan, Rob Beckett, or Ross Kemp go home after Leigh-Anne Pinnock was chosen to be protected from murder by the traitors.

The BBC show has been a huge success so far with millions tuning in for every episode of season two.

The faithful have already caught one traitor in Richard E Grant and are hot on the tail of another in Hannah Fry, yet many still think Maya Jama and James Acaster are in a prime position to win.

The choice of killing one of Romesh, Rob, or Ross could be a key one, particularly if they waste an attempted kill on Leigh-Anne and give the faithfuls another day to whittle down who they could be.

Ultimately though there is one choice and one choice alone that makes sense, and it’s bad news for people who think we don’t get enough Romesh Ranganathan on TV.

Celebrity Traitors viewers spotted two key roundtable moments as key to why the traitors should kill Romesh

In the latest episode of Celebrity Traitors the faithful took another misstep and sent home Julie Hesmondhalgh just a few episodes after collectively voting her the ‘most trustworthy’.

The most convincing argument against this however came from Romesh, with one popular comment on Reddit under a thread discussing the episode saying: “What a dramatically brilliant point about Julie when they said we were told to pick the most faithful person to show just what the game does to us - it's only round table number 3 and we're wanting to banish them.”

He made some great points round the roundtable, and the smart move would be to get rid before he figures them out (BBC)

Whilst the initial main discussion around Romesh was simply jokes about how him and Rob are constantly on TV together, this has now shifted to fans discussing how he has arguably shown himself to be a key faithful in his time in the castle.

Fans believe Romesh’s argument is what damned Richard (other than him telling everyone he was a Traitor)

In this thread another fan pointed out that his comment on Julie showed that he had the ‘best analytical mind left in the castle’ other than Hannah, who is now a traitor.

When discussing whether to vote out Richard in the very first roundtable the comedian told Richard ‘whether you're a traitor or not you've forced our hand’ and, whilst there’s an argument they should’ve kept Richard in the game, it was widely praised.

He is particularly insightful around the roundtable, which was a big turning point in Richard going home first (BBC)

One comment said that it was ‘one of the best arguments they’ve heard in the show’, whilst another added: “Romesh regularly says incredibly insightful things at the roundtable and looks at things from interesting angles. I think he'll get killed in the hide-and-seek for it, and he's where I would have put the shield.”

If you are rooting for the faithfuls it was was pretty undoubtably a mistake to put a shield on Leigh-Anne as she has the most heat of any of the four, and if Romesh goes it will be a huge win for the traitors.
