Spoiler alert: This coverage uncovers details from the recent broadcast of The Celebrity Traitors
This was the situation that left audiences at the edge of our seats.
Jonathan Ross throwing his co-conspirators under a bus in a brazen effort to avoid elimination.
But his efforts had the opposite effect - with stunning results.
The remaining traitors, Cat Burns and the comedian, seemed to pick up on his deceptive strategy.
And at a tense round table, they together mercilessly targeted him, voting him out.
Burns even got his name incorrect - that's got to add insult to injury.
Ultimately, the dominant player was no more.
The treacherous trio fell apart.
With the most votes, it was the end to leave the show.
And leave he did, with what's being described online as the most memorable parting words in Traitors history.
The Unforgettable Exit Speech
"I've got no idea where everyone is going wrong.
I'm astonished you've done it again," the chat show host declared.
"It's unbelievable that I'm standing here unfairly, so I don't want to be rude, but you're idiots," he continued.
"I am now, and I have been all through the game completely Faithful..." he said, provoking faces of disbelief within his competitors, prior to finishing his remarks: "...for the traitors."
"That became the most absurd departure," remarked a obviously stunned the rugby player.
Aftermath and Reactions
After these events, the players erupted into celebration.
At last - the honest contestants have ultimately identified one of the deceivers.
And not simply any dishonest player.
The forest-green attired, eyewear-enthusiast, the television host has been eliminated.
As noted by show commentator the television critic, this demonstrated further evidence of exactly how "merciless" the deceptive contestants can be.
"The traitors' alliance collapsed!
Such an intense installment," she said.
Post-Elimination
Yet while talking with the cameras later, the media personality remained magnanimous in accepting his defeat.
"I'm actually glad it's over and I'm satisfied Alan targeted me also," he said.
"I'm wishing they might stick together and easily win the game."
During the companion podcast, he further stated that the perfect approach for dishonest players involved "don't be too loud, don't be too quiet.
Which is precisely why the two conspirators are demonstrating such a brilliant game."
Previous Developments
During earlier segments, an additional honest contestant was murdered.
This time, the target was the performer's turn, after ending up the prior broadcast among the defeated players.
The entertainment figure was murdered dramatically, through direct confrontation, back at the massive game board.
She seemed truly surprised when she identified the true natures of the three traitors.
"I'm not happy about your actions at all," she says to them.
"You played your strategy exceptionally skillfully."
Following the pattern of reactions, her immediate response when she realised it was Alan Carr as a traitor was, "Alan eliminated Paloma!"
Additional Drama
"Murdering face to face felt particularly cruel, and deeply personal," observed the comedian.
"I feel like the angel of death."
The television presenter, who was also with the unsuccessful group, successfully evaded removal.
But she was displeased with the response of her fellow players as she arrived at the morning meal the subsequent day.
"No one is happy that I'm still here," said the TV presenter.
"For what reason does not a single person have confidence in me?"
The sports figure promptly elaborated that the difficulty stems from, she fails to present with a lot of theories, a point Garraway didn't dispute.
"I'm totally incompetent, it's unbearable," she said.
Challenge Drama
Elsewhere, the focus became the comedian's antics once more, as the entertainment figure traversed a precarious pathway across a stream through the current competition, yelling during the entire endeavor.
"You're performing brilliantly," the media figure said, in an attempt to support him, eliciting his answer: "Stop talking."
"I felt I was participating in sports day with the kids.
Resembling an affectionate, pushy parent, I was disrupting his focus," Garraway noted to the cameras.
But Carr emerged victorious, and upon completion, he declared the unforgettable phrase: "Goodness, my anatomy.
I feel like successful but altered."
