In this week’s newsletter: As the series reaches its finale we ponder who is going to win, who deserves to win – and if anyone really listens to ‘Traitor pop’

January is almost over, but regrettably that means that so too is The Traitors. Watching the Beeb’s televised take on wink murder has become a bright spot in this gloomy portion of the year for many, but at 8.30pm tonight it all ends with a tantalisingly setup finale. You can follow along with our liveblog on the Guardian, where there’s also plenty more Traitors content, including pieces on how it has revolutionised reality TV , and why it’s so ruddy middle class . Here on the Guide, we’re trying to answer some of the most pressing – and, OK, not so pressing – questions about tonight’s finale and series three as a whole. Spoilers ahoy, so of you’re not up to speed with this series, perhaps wait until you are before reading on.
