Spoilers for the Wednesday, 29 October episode of The Celebrity Traitors lie ahead.
The Celebrity Traitors is very definitely heating up, with the faithfuls finally unmasking their first Traitor. All it took was a bit of betrayal from Alan Carr and Cat Burns, and now Jonathan Ross's exit means a murderous contestant has finally been caught. Now, with only a handful of players left, the countdown is well and truly on for the finale.
And there's actually fewer episodes to go than you might think.
The Celebrity Traitors has been airing twice a week up until this point, which itself is a change from the 'regular' civilian series, which typically airs three times weekly.
But there's a change coming: after the next episode (on Thursday, 30 October), that's your lot until the big crescendo.

What to Read Next
The finale airs on Thursday, 6 November - and there'll be no installment at all on Wednesday, 5 November. That means the series will have aired nine episodes overall.
Yes, there are now only two episodes left before we know whether the Traitors get away with their crimes, or if the generally useless Faithfuls will stage a spectacular comeback. Make your predictions now.
In other Traitors news, murdered contestant Tom Daley has explained when and how the players find out they've been culled.
It seems the unlikely victims are informed of their fates in the morning, not in the middle of the night.
"You think you're going to breakfast and you're like, 'Nope! You got killed'," he told This Morning.
"You're always doing interviews so all the time you're getting pulled around and in that room I see the paper and I'm [deflated]."

Elsewhere, Jonathan Ross has revealed that he has been reprimanded by producers for breaking the rules and discussing things that have been cut out of the episodes.
Speaking on the Reel Talk podcast, he said: "I’m not allowed to talk about the stuff that’s edited out, which I can understand why.
"When I started talking about it last week, they sent us all a kind of list saying, 'Just to remind you, these are the things in your contracts you're not allowed to talk about.'
"So, I’ll skirt around it as much as possible and not break any rules. But there’s a fairly comprehensive list, and most of it I can see is to protect the integrity of the game as a viewing experience for people, so it makes perfect sense."
The Celebrity Traitors airs on BBC One.
