The Traitors S2: Was making Rida Tharana a Traitor a bad decision? Here’s what fans think

Rida Tharana has been playing a fantastic game since the very start as an innocent, and after proving herself as an excellent game player by taking out two traitors, she was recruited as a traitor by Krystal D'Souza.

However, since she has been playing in the new role, her behaviour has changed, and she herself has become really nervous because it is very difficult to suddenly take on a new role without making it obvious. Fans now are also sharing their reactions to it on X.

Was recruiting Rida Tharana as a Traitor a wrong decision?

Rida Tharana and Tanya convinced the entire table during the recent Circle of Shaq that Shaneel Gill was the traitor, and they were right about it, and because of this, innocents started hailing Rida for yet again catching the traitor. Before this, she had received a lot of praise for being very sure about Kullu being a traitor. In fact, she had also been suspecting Krystal to be the traitor too. However since she has been recruited, she has been very awkward and has had an odd body language, which is making it a little obvious that she is now the traitor. A lot of people on the internet also pointed out that recruiting her was probably not the best idea.

One wrote, "Rida being the new traitor and the second person asked, "kya tum hi recruit nahi hui?" she folded." A second added, "Rida became a traitor, and the first person she wanted out of the game was her best friend "Prish", well not bad."

Shaneel Gill, Shweta Tiwari and Prish out of the game

Shaneel Gill came under everyone's radar when she was unable to say what is written on the card that safe contestants get every day. She got confused, and her defence only made it worse for her and she was voted out. Shweta Tiwari, on the other hand, was murdered by the traitors just to confuse innocents. What came as a shock was Prish getting murdered. The moment Rida was recruited as the Traitor, she started talking about taking Prish out, and that's what she did.
