My take on why Rida was a deserving winner & Rida becoming a traitor was crucial for Krystal winning the show(please read full post)

Opinion

Rida was the perfect innocent. She single-handedly removed Kullu, which was crazy because after Harman, for a long time the innocents hadn't removed any traitor. She was also getting her doubts right in terms of everything.

When Shahneel got out, when everyone was against Shahneel, she also made a point against Shahneel, and she very clearly told Krystal that just because Shahneel is in trouble today does not mean that you are safe. She literally said that.

And what happened after that was that Krystal then went on to recruit Rida. So what happened here is that Rida, who was the perfect innocent, turned out to be a traitor. If she did not become a traitor, then she would have gotten everyone to eliminate Krystal, and Krystal would have already been out for sure.

So as much as I love Krystal and I am so glad she won the game, she would not have won if she had not made Rida a co-traitor.

Later, Rida was a very poor traitor, as she often cried and, you know, gave away her cards. And that's, you know, down to the dumb innocents that were left in the game. But yet again, the traitors did a good job in removing the smart innocents, the ones who were getting onto things.

So yes, coming back to the main point, if Krystal did not recruit Rida after Shahneel did get eliminated, then Rida would have gotten Krystal out the very next day, even if it meant she would, you know, die in that episode. But still, it would mean that she would catch Krystal in the Circle of Trust, and therefore we would not have Krystal being a winner of Traitors if it wasn't for Rida also being a traitor and winning the show.

I have kind of loved Krystal's game from the very start and appreciate her being a traitor who has been there from the start to the finish. But her adding Rida to her traitor team was a really good decision, for which she also deserves credit.

But as much as Krystal deserved to win, even Rida deserved to win because she was the perfect innocent, and she was the key for Krystal to also win the traitor game.
