Paudie Delivers Hilarious Line, Sparks Laughter on The Traitors

UPDATE: Viewers of The Traitors Ireland were left in stitches as Paudie delivered what many are calling “the greatest line said on RTÉ” during Monday night’s episode. The retired prison officer, now a fan-favorite Traitor, stunned audiences with his candid humor while navigating the high-stakes game of deception.

On September 25, 2023, Paudie, who has cleverly evaded banishment, played a pivotal role in eliminating fellow Traitors Eamon and Katelyn to save himself. In a surprising twist, he attempted to recruit his son, Andrew, but tragedy struck when Andrew was subsequently banished.

In a desperate bid to stay in the game, Paudie enlisted the help of Nick, another Traitor. After completing a challenging mission, the duo faced a daunting task: to “murder” a Faithful in plain sight. Host Siobhan McSweeney revealed that one of them would have to hug a Faithful, sealing their fate as the next target.

Paudie’s reaction to this shocking challenge was nothing short of legendary. “Ah, f**k off,” he exclaimed, adding, “I’m not being f**king smart here right, but I’m not a f**king hugger.” This candid and relatable moment resonated deeply with viewers, prompting an outpouring of laughter on social media.

Fans took to platforms like X, expressing their amusement and admiration. One user wrote, “Paudie saying ‘I’m not a f**king hugger’ is just magnificent TV. National treasure what a man.” Another added, “I am not being feckin smart but I am not a feckin hugger is the best line of the series so far.”

The sentiment was clear — Paudie’s humor has solidified his status as a beloved character, with fans even jokingly campaigning for his presidency. “Paudie for president!” one enthusiastic viewer exclaimed.

Ultimately, Paudie and Nick decided to eliminate Christine, with Nick taking on the hug role. Viewers will have to tune in tonight at 9:35 PM on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player to see how this dramatic twist unfolds.

As the excitement builds, Paudie’s unforgettable line has already etched itself into the annals of Irish television history. Stay tuned for more updates on this captivating season of The Traitors Ireland.
