The Traitors had a plot twist on Wednesday night when two traitors put themselves at risk of being voted out on their way to the dungeon.
Paul, 36, and Ash, 45, requested to be separated from the group and housed in the bowels of the castle alongside believers Meg and Andrew.
But fans believe Paul's “strategy” of voting out Ash to convince the others he's a believer will backfire after the show ended on a cliffhanger.
Claudia Winkleman told the group, “There will be no murder tonight.” Instead, you will convict four people and murder one of them tomorrow night.
“You will spend tomorrow in the dungeon.” The dungeon is cold, it is wet, it is uncomfortable. “Except for Zac and Jasmine, who both got shields today, you can put any player in the dungeon, including yourself.”

Harry said, “I don't think putting two traitors in the dungeon is a good idea.”
Paul revealed that getting Ash voted out was a “strategy within a strategy” so they could give the Believers a traitor and he could cement his status as a false believer.
In the mission, the winning team decided to save Andrew from being murdered, leaving Paul, Ash, and Meg in danger.
The decision to put two traitors in the dungeon backfired as it reinforced people's belief that Ash was a traitor and portrayed itself as a double bluff.
Later at the roundtable, Paul became emotional as he had to defend himself, but ultimately it was Ash who was voted out – and fans believe she could expose her fellow traitor after it ended on a cliffhanger.
One wrote: “This cliffhanger definitely means Ash will drop a bombshell when she leaves.” I'm assuming she'll tell them she wasn't the only traitor in the dungeon who completely screwed Paul over threw. Love it'.
“Honestly, if I was playing the game I definitely would. Vote for someone sentenced to dungeon at the Round Table because that's exactly how a traitor would try to appear innocent, plus you'll greatly increase your chances of getting a traitor out.

Meg had already been mentioned by Ross as an interesting name and the traitors thought she would arouse even more suspicion if they put her in the dungeon

“This twist is a mess because they sent two traitors to the dungeon.” Now we know that Meg will be the next murdered.
Elsewhere in the show, Faithful Brian, 33, was banned after chess coach Anthony, 45, from Birmingham cast the final vote which ultimately decided who was eliminated from the competition.
Traitors Paul, 36, and Harry, 22, had an awkward reunion with Ash, who told them she was “very shitty” when she faced them at midnight to “sentence” four people. The dungeon.
Ash was betrayed by her fellow traitors in the second vote after Diane, Ash and Brian all received the same amount.
The couple decided to join forces and vote to remove the event coordinator after she “performed poorly.”
But it was Brian who took the hit, telling the group: “My heart is going crazy.” I'm not taking anything personal, I'm sorry to be voted out for being who I am. I am a believer.'
Harry said in the library, “That round table was rough.” Let's address the elephant in the room. I voted for a traitor, but she's not as strong as Paul and Miles. I have to regain her trust.'
The Traitors continues on Thursday at 9pm on BBC One.
