Viewers criticised Ross for his visible reactions when fellow Traitors Cat Burns and Alan Carr voted for him, suggesting he inadvertently exposed them and 'ruined' the series.
Some fans defended Ross, arguing he redirected suspicion towards a Faithful, while others criticised the Traitors' overall strategy.
Upon his banishment, Ross initially feigned being a Faithful before dramatically revealing his true Traitor identity.
The episode concluded with Burns and Carr tasked with murdering another Faithful, and a new rule was introduced where future banished players will no longer reveal their true status.
