Ranganathan and Croft have pledged to donate their winnings to two refugee support organisations. The Refugee Council and Choose Love will each receive half of the prize money. The show's finale saw the remaining contestants, including YouTuber King Kenny and Love Island host Maya Jama, eliminated as traitors.
The Endgame
The endgame featured Ranganathan, Croft, King Kenny, and singer James Blunt. A vote to banish King Kenny or James Blunt resulted in a tie. Croft persuaded Ranganathan to vote for Kenny, securing their victory as faithfuls. James Blunt was subsequently evicted in a further round of voting, leaving Ranganathan and Croft as the sole survivors.

King Kenny expressed his disappointment after being banished, stating, "I was so close. I smelled the victory." Croft, 24, described the win as "the best day of my life," while Ranganathan hoped his mother and son would be proud. Earlier in the episode, actor Michael Sheen was murdered, and singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock was banished after King Kenny voted against her.
Unorthodox Traitor Disclosures
This series also featured two contestants who revealed themselves as traitors. Actor Richard E Grant disclosed his status early in the series, and comedian James Acaster voluntarily gave up his traitor role under pressure at a round table. A BBC spokesperson confirmed that the safety and welfare of participants are a "highest priority" and that players are "closely monitored and supported throughout by production."
Reports suggested that the filming of Acaster's confession was paused for welfare checks due to his anxiety. The Hollywood Reporter noted that while the show achieved record ratings, some viewers perceived a mid-series lull, with a perceived lack of dramatic betrayals compared to previous seasons. However, the final episode is expected to be the most-watched television programme of the year.
