With two Traitors and two Faithfuls left, the final Round Table and fire pit were never going to be simple. Kirby had Rhys Nicholson beside her, but Keira's instinct to do things her own way meant every plan had the potential to unravel at the last second.

Keira Would Not Be Told How To Vote

Before the final Round Table, Kirby's ideal path was clear. She wanted Keira to look past Rhys and put Krissy Marsh in the firing line first, which would have given the two Traitors a real chance of reaching the end together.

Keira was not having it. She had spent the season making her own calls, sometimes to the frustration of the people trying to steer her, and she was still locked onto Rhys.

That forced Kirby to switch gears. Rather than push Keira harder and make herself look suspicious, she backed Keira's choice and voted Rhys at the table. It was a painful vote for the Traitor alliance, but it also stopped Kirby from becoming the obvious next target.

Rhys knew exactly what had happened. Kirby tried to make the case that she wanted to take Rhys to the end, but Rhys could see their partnership had become too dangerous for Kirby to protect. Still, Rhys did not blow up Kirby's game on the way out, leaving her with a narrow but very real route to the prize.

The Garden Conversation Nearly Goes Wrong

Kirby's next problem was keeping Keira comfortable enough to trust her. That was not easy when Keira overheard part of a garden conversation between Kirby and Rhys, including Kirby talking about getting Keira to change her vote.

For a moment, it looked as though the final two Traitors might have handed Keira the missing piece of the puzzle. Kirby managed to talk her way out of it, insisting Keira had misheard the target. It was a bold recovery, but it also showed how thin the ice had become.

By then, Kirby seemed to understand the key to Keira's game. Keira did not respond well to being handed a strategy. She needed to feel that the decision was hers, and Kirby was prepared to bend her own plan around that fact.

Krissy Is The Last Faithful To Fall

After Rhys's banishment, Kirby, Keira and Krissy reached the fire pit. Keira decided there was still a Traitor among them and voted for Krissy, while Kirby kept the pressure on without putting herself in the centre of the fight.

Krissy's banishment was the final break the Faithfuls needed, except she was not a Traitor at all. Her reveal left Keira facing the worst possible version of the endgame: she had eliminated another Faithful and was now sitting beside the original Traitor.

It was also a reminder of how far Kirby had come. She had been suspected early in the season, lost Rhys at the final table and still found a way to make the last Faithful feel safe enough to stop playing.

Kirby Takes The Prize

At the final fire, Keira chose to end the game. She revealed herself as a Faithful, expecting that the danger had gone with Rhys and Krissy.

Then came Kirby's reveal. She had been a Traitor from the very beginning, and her final adjustment to Keira's unpredictable game had delivered the whole $200,600 prize pool.

Keira took the loss with grace, hugging Kirby as the game finally ended. After a season full of suspicion, messy votes and shifting loyalties, the last beat was surprisingly warm, even if it was a brutal one for the final Faithful.
