With all the excitement and drama the series brings, it can be hard to stop and smell the roses. Here's a recap of all of the key moments from this series grand finale.
Frankie finds out Charlotte is a Traitor
After winning her status as The Seer, Frankie selected Charlotte as the person whose true identity she wanted to find out. Frankie expected to confirm her suspicions that Charlotte was a Faithful during their secret meeting, but discovered she had actually caught a Traitor, prompting the interior designer to erupt into tears.
Despite finding out the truth, she had to burn the evidence at the table meaning it was one player's word against the other. It made for a tense breakfast as Frankie attempted to gesture that Charlotte was a Traitor, as Charlotte claimed she now believed Frankie was one. The remaining players were left unsure on who they could trust.
The final mission
In a moment that BBC viewers called the 'TV moment of the year', the contestants had to dangle from a helicopter in pairs and drop an item into a ring on the ground. Frankie was left screaming and facing her fears while Alexander was chuckling and enjoying himself.
"Of course Alexander’s reaction to being dangled from a helicopter is hysterical laughter," said one viewer.
A tense Round Table
Claudia Winkleman revealed that the final prize pot stood at £94,600 as the first Round Table began. Emotions were sky-high as Frankie and Charlotte went back and forth trying to prove their innocence, with Alexander also prompting suspicion after forgetting who he had previously suspected, bringing accusations that he was lying from Leanne.
Ultimately the group decided to vote for Charlotte but as per the new finale rules, those banished no longer reveal their identity in the game. There was also no opportunity for Charlotte to share that she wasn't really Welsh.
Alexander falls - and Frankie out
The final four all decided to banish again before declaring the game over, with Leanne, Jake and Frankie all voting to oust Alexander. There was then a second round of voting after Leanne, Frankie and Jake all decided they wanted to banish again.
Despite Frankie's pleas and assurances that she was a Faithful, both Leanne - albeit through tears - and Jake opted to banish her from the game. The pair then secured the win, splitting the £94,600 between two.
