Fans of BBC series The Traitors where in disagreement with one of its hosts after they claimed that the most recent mission was their 'favourite'.

Thursday's (January 9) episode saw even more tears and tense confrontations. While there were no murders committed by the Traitors, there was a failed recruitment and another Faithful was banished following a dramatic Round Table.

All the fallout was discussed on the show's companion visual podcast Traitors Uncloaked hosted by Ed Gamble.

Joined by former contestant Diane and comic Nish Kumar, the panel also discussed events of the episode which included the latest mission.

Contestants worked mostly in pairs and had to navigate through a series of circus themed doors.

If they chose the right door they could proceed, with each pair winning some cash for the prize pot and the first duo making it all the way through earning shields.

However, if they picked the wrong door then they were greeted by a killer clown. This frightening figure would give them a scream and pop the balloon they were holding, meaning they were eliminated from the mission.

Ed said of the mission: "This is my favourite mission, which is why we've got the (clown) mask there." However, this was not a sentiment shared by any fans as they took to react to the challenge on social media.

One asked: "What on earth is this local carnival budget mission they’ve just put up a load of doors in the nearby field."

They were not the only one to share their views as they held a less than favourably opinion.

One simply posted: "Have [they] run out of mission ideas[?]" Another added: "This mission would have been way more fun if it was more Takeshi’s Castle."

While one person was annoyed that contestants kept describing patterns in front of them as oppose to just numbering the options. They also suggested as a fan of Channel 4 show Taskmaster, there should have been more to the objective, saying: "There’s four doors on each, don’t describe the pattern just say which number is correct. Also, I would’ve looked through the red curtain to see if there were clues."

The Traitors continues tomorrow at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer, followed by The Traitors Uncloaked on BBC Two at 10pm.
