The final days of The Traitors season three have turned into a showdown that fans want to see end one way: with Rhys Nicholson turning on Kirby Bentley. The pair are the last two traitors standing, and the debate around whether Nicholson will cut Bentley loose has become the loudest question around the finale.
That is why the search interest is spiking now. Bentley was accused of being a traitor in the very first episode, survived that early suspicion and then recruited Nicholson after Alex Nation and Alvin Quah were banished. Since then, the Drag Race Down Under judge has begun to doubt Bentley, which has only fed the online hope that he will turn the tables and claim final victory for himself.
Fans have not been subtle about what they want. Some are openly posting pleas for Nicholson to win solo, and much of the speculation has settled on the same idea: if he moves first, Bentley loses the advantage she held when she brought him into the game. That gives the finale its edge. It is not just about who survives the last round of deception; it is about whether the recruit becomes the one who chooses the ending.
Tully Smyth has helped fan the conversation without giving away the result. She said the finale was going to be fun, and said the show’s dedicated community was one of her favorite things about it. Smyth also said The Traitors love was so global that it had been fun to be part of it and to read everybody’s theories, adding that some were right on the money while others were wildly off.
That wider fan reaction matters because The Traitors has always thrived on mistrust, and the season three finish is built for it. Kirby Bentley had already been singled out as a traitor in the opening episode before making it all the way to the end with Nicholson, which makes the stakes feel sharper than a standard reality-TV finish. The cast had also been raving about a player, adding to the sense that the final stretch is being watched closely from every angle.
The unanswered part is simple. Nicholson has moved from recruited ally to suspected turncoat in the span of the last few days, and fans want him to make that break before Bentley can lock in the endgame. If he does, the finale delivers the cleanest possible twist: the traitor who was brought in to help finish the job becomes the one who takes the win instead.
