The 'Big Dog Theory' Shakes Up 'Celebrity Traitors': A Game-Changer In The Making

The 'Big Dog Theory' Unleashed

The 'Celebrity Traitors' has just kicked up a notch – and no, it’s not because of Celia Imrie’s unexpected antics. The show has introduced a tantalizing new twist: the 'big dog theory.' This theory revolves around the two most celebrated contestants, adding a layer of complexity that the civilian version simply doesn’t offer.

During Wednesday night's episode, the tension reached fever pitch. YouTuber Niko Omilana and EastEnders star Tameka Empson were banished, suspected by their peers of being Traitors. Meanwhile, the Traitor trio – Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr, and Cat Burns – plotted to 'murder' Olympic diver Tom Daley. As the dust settled, Ruth Codd, Charlotte Church, and David Olusoga emerged as the next potential targets.

“Maybe Claudia picked a war to be had between the Traitor team, led by the big dog – Jonathan – against the Faithful team, led by the Faithful big dog, of Stephen… she’s gone, ‘I wanna see which team’s gonna win now,’” declared rugby player Joe Marler.

Strategic Moves and Shocking Votes

Joe Marler's theory stirred the pot, suggesting that host Claudia Winkleman had orchestrated a secret battle between the big dogs – Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry. Comedian Joe Wilkinson agreed, noting Fry's intelligence as a potential game-changer capable of 'breaking the code' and outing the Traitors.

In a bold move, Marler and Wilkinson presented their theory at the roundtable, pointing fingers at Ross as a hidden villain. Wilkinson believed Ross was likely behind the 'murder' of Paloma Faith in episode two, although Carr was the true mastermind. The votes were cast, with Wilkinson and Ruth Codd targeting Ross, while Marler surprisingly voted for Kate Garraway, a move that baffled everyone.

The Future of the 'Big Dog Theory'

Now, with Ross under suspicion and Codd's piercing gaze fixed on him, any attempt to eliminate his accusers could backfire spectacularly. Should Ross be ousted, recruiting Fry would be a strategic coup for the Traitors, dismantling the 'big dog theory' entirely.

This theory brings a fresh dynamic to 'The Celebrity Traitors,' setting it apart from the original. While past seasons have had their fair share of standout characters, none could claim the cultural clout of Ross and Fry. Their legendary status in British pop culture gives them an upper hand, making this a potential clash of titans.

Yet, the Faithfuls have shown themselves to be unpredictable and forgetful, which means the theory might soon be just a fleeting memory. Only time will tell...

'Celebrity Traitors' continues its thrilling saga on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9pm on BBC One.
